Chapter 407 - Patriarch Lu Wants to Meet Lu Yunxiao

Chapter 407: Patriarch Lu Wants to Meet Lu Yunxiao

Mrs. Lu merely fainted for a short period of time due to heart palpitations and she had already regained consciousness by the time they returned. She laid on the bed and clutched Lu Jianlin’s hand with trembling lips and eyes. “Jianlin, someone called me moments ago and said that Yunxiao is brain dead. Is that true?”

She did not believe it, but she wanted her husband and son to personally confirm that it wasn’t true. Only then would she feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, the father and son remained silent.

Mrs. Lu grabbed Lu Jianlin’s arm with all her strength and burst into tears.

Lu Jianlin hastily pulled her into his embrace at the sight of her reaction. “Lingluo, listen to me.”

“What else do you have to say?” Mrs. Lu only felt that she was struck by a bolt from the blue. She tightly grabbed onto Lu Jianlin’s arm and hit his chest with her fists in extreme sadness. “So you’ve all been lying to me… return my Yunxiao back to me!”

When Lu Jingye saw that his mother was in grief, he said, “Mother, Yiyi and the authoritative figure in brain surgery, Elder Hu are treating Yunxiao together right now. He will wake up very soon.”

Mrs. Lu did not believe him. “Can someone who is brain dead be rescued? Don’t deceive me anymore.”

She wiped her tears and said, “I want to see Yunxiao. Be it dead or alive, I’m his mother and I have to see him.”

No matter how sad she was, her son was the one who chose to walk down this road. Ever since he chose to be the leader of Lu Family’s secret forces, Mrs. Lu had already prepared herself in the event that someone were to happen to her son. However, she did not expect that it would happen so soon.

The feeling of a knife piercing one’s heart was incomparable to the pain she felt.

Lu Jianlin did not feel good to see his wife so heartbroken, but when he thought of how she suddenly got to know of this fact, he felt apprehensive. “Lingluo, who told you about this?”

Song Lingluo looked up at him and saw a stern expression on his face that she had never seen before. She seemed to have guessed something and hastily said, “I received a phone call.”

Lu Jingye hastily took her phone from her and said, “Mother, even Grandfather doesn’t know that something happened to Yunxiao.”

Song Lingluo panicked and clutched Lu Jianlin’s clothes. “You mean that someone got to know of this despite the fact that you had kept complete confidentiality of the news?”

Lu Jingye nodded his head. “That’s right. Moreover, Rick came looking for me in the afternoon and he also mentioned this.”

Lu Jianlin said, “Once this information spreads out, the Lu Family will be attacked by various forces from all sides.”

“Then what should we do?” Mrs. Lu was grieving for her youngest son and at the same time, she was worried that the Lu Family would fall into dire straits.

She suddenly thought of something and hastily asked, “What about that Yunxiao I saw in the past? Who is he?”

She turned to look at Lu Jingye and immediately guessed the truth. “Were you pretending to be him?”

“Yes.”

After Lu Jingye admitted, Lu Jianlin said to her, “During this period of time, Jingye would continue to disguise as Yunxiao and return to the capital. I originally planned to inform father about this, but based on the current situation, it’s better that we tell him after Yunxiao’s condition improves… There are some people around my father’s side that I don’t trust.”

The father and son had a discussion this afternoon and felt that the person who harmed Lu Yunxiao must be someone around Patriarch Lu’s side. At this critical juncture, they did not dare to take the slightest risk.

“Can Little Zi and Elder Hu really save Yunxiao? Also, could there be a mole in the secret base?”

“Don’t worry, father and I have already made preparations. I will inform Yiyi about this matter.”

“Will Little Zi be in danger?” Both her son and daughter-in-law are of equal importance to her, and Mrs. Lu could not bear to lose either. “Also… what are you going to do if your Grandfather wants to meet the both of you, if you are disguising as Yunxiao?”

“In fact, Yiyi and I have already thought of this problem. She will create a robot that is a replica of me. When the time comes, I’ll input all my habits into the robot and no one will be able to detect the difference.”

Mrs. Lu widened her eyes in surprise. “Yiyi can do this?”

“Yes.”

Lu Jianlin wiped the tears on her face and said, “All you have to do now is to pretend that you don’t know anything. It’s possible that my father would ask us to come over soon. No matter what others say, have faith that Yunxiao will recover.”

Even though Mrs. Lu was still heartbroken, at the thought of her son, she would certainly conceal this fact well.

“I wish to see Yunxiao.”

Lu Jingye took out his phone and pressed a few buttons for a while before he found a photo for her to see.

“Ah– wuuu…” Mrs. Lu covered her mouth and burst into tears uncontrollably when she saw Lu Yunxiao with tubes all over his body and how skinny he had become.

Lu Jianlin patted her back and said, “See, Yunxiao’s body is still doing fine despite so much time having passed. It means that the doctor truly has a way to treat him. You have to have faith in them.”

Mrs. Lu looked at Yunxiao for quite some time, before she nodded her head.

Following this, the three of them discussed what to do next.

The prediction of the father and son was very accurate. Not before long, the housekeeper of the main house called and asked them over for dinner. He even mentioned that Patriarch Lu insisted that everyone had to return.

Mrs. Lu even specially wore make-up in order to prevent other people from noticing that she had cried.

By the time they made their way over, the other family members were already waiting for them. Rick and Aisha were also there.

The moment Aisha saw Lu Jingye, she excitedly stood up and shouted, “Brother Lu, long time no see.”

Lu Jingye merely nodded at her out of politeness and said in a distant tone, “Long time no see.”

Lu Jianlin and his wife took a seat next to Patriarch Lu.

“Father.”

“Grandfather.”

“You’re here.” Patriarch Lu’s expression had no change. After he said that, he suddenly asked, “Yunxiao has yet to return?”

Lu Jianlin answered, “Not yet.”

Patriarch Lu’s hand on the armrest moved slightly and he asked, “He didn’t come back during my birthday banquet and now it’s already been a month, why isn’t he back yet? Could it be that the task I gave him was too difficult and he is unable to accomplish it?”

“It’s not like that.” Lu Jianlin’s expression was similar to Patriarch Lu’s, stern and containing a hint of dominance. “Yunxiao was slightly injured when he went on a task the previous time. I got him to rest for half a month first. Father, as you know, Yunxiao isn’t fond of talking and he likes to travel to quiet places. He had told me that he wanted to explore the Amazon primeval forest.”

Patriarch Lu’s hand suddenly slammed against the armrest and he said. “Immediately get him to return. I’ll only give him a week’s time. Contact him during this period of time and get him to return from wherever he is… It’s been quite a long time and it’s time to come back and visit me.”

“I understand.”

The father and son finished speaking and remained silent at the same time.

The other family members of the Lu Family looked at each other. In fact, they did not know why Patriarch Lu insisted on asking Lu Jianlin’s family over. In particular, based on their conversation, it sounded like a confrontation and they did not dare to utter a single word.

Now that both of them were silent, the rest were instead, relieved.
