On the way in the car, so many thoughts crossed Jiang Yuyan’s mind. She was relieved that Lu Lijun allowed her to go out after breakfast. Her mind was roaming around what Lu Feng did once he left the village and how he ended up with Xi Cheng that made him shoot Xi Cheng and what was going on in Lu Feng’s mind?
She was glad that Xi Cheng was alive and Lu Feng didn’t end up being a murderer. Moreover, Xi Cheng was her prey to play with and she won’t allow him to die without going through the pain that he will beg for death.
When Jiang Yuyan reached the secret mansion, everything was the same as if no one lived there. The moment Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the car and stood in front of the mansion’s door, she looked at the camera above the door that scared the men behind the screen.
“What did we do today that the boss is giving us a scary look?” the one man asked.
“I don’t know. We already opened the door,” the second one replied.
“Does she want us to keep it open even before she reached the door?”
“Might be, from next time we should keep in mind that boss doesn’t like to wait.”
Both knew their boss who looked like any other ordinary girl, wearing a normal T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, was scarier than the actual professional women.
Jiang Yuyan entered inside where, just like her first day in the mansion, the butler Ye Bai and his two men were present and welcomed her. The butler smiled as he bowed to his boss, “Good morning, boss,” while his two men bowed with the blank expressions.
Jiang Yuyan observed both the men as those were the snipers, but they were wearing the clothes of servants again. The white shirt, black pants and one black apron long up to the half of thigh was tied around their waists.
“Does these two love to work inside the home?” Jiang Yuyan asked.
The butler nodded as he explained, “Hmm, if they won’t, they might go crazy and kill all our enemies in a day.”
Jiang Yuyan kept looking at them while those two were standing silently, having no expressions on face and looking in front blankly.
San Zemin came out of his room and went to greet Jiang Yuyan, “Good morning, boss!”
Nodding lightly as accepting the greeting, Jiang Yuyan stepped to go upstairs as she asked, “I hope you have everything that I asked you to do.”
San Zemin followed his boss as he replied, “Yes boss.” San Zemin was holding a tablet and one tiny recorder in his hand.
Reaching the room that was brightened with the sunlight coming through the windows of the room, Jiang Yuyan sat on the chair opposite to the couch while San Zemin sat on the couch.
San Zemin handed her over the tablet which had few pictures in it. As Jiang Yuyan went through the pictures one by one, which showed where Lu Feng was and San Zemin explained every picture.
“Mr. Lu Feng left the village and came to the city directly until the morning. He called the elder brother, and they met at the highway in the next two hours. They talked for long and had an argument.”
Jiang Yuyan went through the pictures where Lu Feng and Lu Han were facing each other. Further she swiped there were the pictures showing some serious talk going between two brothers and in next pictures Lu Feng’s expressions turned angrier while Lu Han looked like he was crying.
In the next few pictures, Lu Han kneeled down while Lu Feng turned his back at his brother as he ran his hand through his hair with frustration. The next one showed Lu Feng left the place leaving his brother crying and didn’t even turn to look at him.
“Have you recorded the conversation?” Jiang Yuyan asked as she was going through the pictures again.
“As they met at the highway, we couldn’t get the video but I had an audio recording which had a problem but our people restored it.”
“Give me,” Ordering, Jiang Yuyan swiped further pictures where Lu Feng came back home, but later there was no picture of him leaving the home.
Keeping the tiny voice recorder on the center table, San Zemin played it and Jiang Yuyan paid attention to the conversation.
“Is everything alright, Lu Feng that you called me here?”
“Elder brother, I need your answer on this. In this video, it’s you, isn’t it?”
There was no sound for a while.
“Am I right, brother, that you sided with these people and betrayed our own brother?”
“Lu Feng…I…”
“Why did you do it, brother? How can you betray your own brother?”
“I did it for you, Lu Feng.”
“For me? Who asked you too? Did I ever?”
“As our mother wished, I wanted to create one chance for you to get into Lu corporation. You never wanted to step into the business, so I wanted to create the condition where you would be forced to step into it.”
“I would have never stepped into the family business, how many times did I clear this to you and mother?”
“I know, that’s why I did it. If Lu Qiang had given you everything on asking just once, you would have never accepted it. I wanted him to fail in a few important projects which would have created the doubt about his ability and the board would have thought to replace him. In such a condition, the board would have asked for another candidate and that one should be from a family, so you would have been the one. If Lu Qiang had requested you to handle the things, I know you would have agreed to it.”
“But I never wanted it, don’t you know, brother?”
“That’s the problem, Lu Feng, that you never wanted it and I had to do it.”
“Are you saying I am the one to blame for your doing?”
“No, but…..”
“Was there any other reason that you sided with them? Tell me the truth, elder brother.”
“They blackmailed me as I have embezzled the money from the company.”
