“Y-Yes! I was wrong. Since it’s my sister’s memorial tablet, of course, it has to be placed here,” Lu Xiang explained awkwardly, but everyone did not believe a word she said. They had clearly heard her curse Lu Qingyun for being a b*tch just now. She even said that she wanted to throw Lu Qingyun’s memorial tablet out.
Lu Yan’s cold gaze landed on the servant. “Aunt must have been too tired from paying respects to our ancestors recently, so she spouted some nonsense. Everyone present is from the Lu family. I hope you won’t spread the news.”
Everyone from the Lu family knew that they had just witnessed a scandal, but Lu Yan was the young master of the Lu family. Since he had already warned them, everyone naturally did not dare to say anything and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction, then pointed at the servant. “Take it out!”
Everyone was puzzled, and the servant’s expression was indifferent. She was stunned for a few seconds before confusion appeared in her eyes. “Y-Young Master, what do you want me to take out?”
As soon as the servant finished speaking, a figure flashed past the door. No one noticed that person at all.
Lu Yan’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he slowly approached. “You know very well what I’m telling you to do. Quickly hand over the recording pen!”
The servant was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She explained in horror, “Young Master, I… I didn’t do anything like that! You must have misunderstood. I really didn’t do that!”
Lu Yan’s voice was gentle, but the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised. “No matter how much the other party offered you, I can offer you double. Moreover, you don’t want to offend the Lu family because of this. As long as you obediently hand over the item, I can let bygones be bygones. You can continue to work in the Lu family.”
The servant said helplessly, “Young Master, I’m just a servant. How would I dare to make a recording?! Moreover, what good will the recording do for me? I wouldn’t dare!”
Even though Lu Xiang was slow-witted, she could not help but react at this moment. This servant had deliberately tricked her just now. She must have recorded everything she said just now. If this recording was leaked, the Lu family’s secret that they had kept for many years would be exposed.
The corners of Lu Yan’s mouth curled up into a vicious smile. He waved at the people behind him. The bodyguards behind him walked forward and grabbed the servant. They searched her carefully, but they did not find any recording equipment.
Lu Yan even suspected that she had a pinhole camera on her. Then, he ordered his men to check the servant’s hair, ears, and even the soles of her shoes. However, they still did not find anything.
Was it really just a misunderstanding? This servant did not look like she was pretending. Could it be that she just happened to say those words?
Lu Yan was still worried. He sent someone to search the bodies of the others. After confirming that there were no recording devices, Lu Yan felt even more uneasy. If the person recording was not at the scene, then…
He suddenly thought of something and stopped breathing. He hurriedly left the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was surrounded by his people. If that person had been standing outside and recording it, they would have been captured long ago!
After a while, Lu Yan’s assistant rushed over. “Young Master, we’ve looked everywhere but found nothing.”
Lu Yan frowned and did not look too good.
“Young Master, one side of the ancestral hall is guarded by our people, while the other side is guarded by Assistant Ji, the man beside Chairman Lu. He said that he didn’t find any suspicious people. He’s gone to check the surveillance cameras.”
Assistant Ji, the man beside his grandfather?
Lu Yan was deep in thought. Assistant Ji came to the Lu family two years ago. He was careful and serious. Grandpa kept him by his side to handle the trivial matters around him.
This person had a weak character and was loyal to his grandfather. Knowing that he was looking into anyone suspicious, Assistant Ji would definitely cooperate with him. Since Assistant Ji was even going to check the surveillance footage, it meant that he was not hiding anything.
They searched the ancestral hall but found nothing. Could it be that Lu Yan was too sensitive?
Lu Yan even suspected that that person had already run out of the ancestral hall, so he went to search the entire Lu family. However, he still didn’t find anything.
Lu Xiang was uneasy. “If the recording is leaked out, I…”
“Don’t worry.” Lu Yan retracted his gaze. “Maybe we’re thinking too much. If someone really recorded it, there would definitely be traces.”
Lu Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, but when she thought about how Lu Qingyun’s memorial tablet was still in the ancestral hall, she gritted her teeth in hatred. “But Lu Qingyun’s memorial tablet is placed in the ancestral hall. When it’s time to worship the ancestors, we’ll all have to kneel. Are we going to kneel to that b*tch, Lu Qingyun?”
