The Rise of the White Lotus

Chapter 521: The Lus favorite son

521 The Lu's favorite son

"Are you sure you'll just let him be?" Churu asked as she followed Ethan Lu back to his office.

"Hmm," He hummed a tune as he smiled to the bowing employees that he passed by. 'That's enough for him today.' He added in his mind.

The sole reason Ethan Lu dropped by at Dennis Lu's office was to let him know that he too was being targeted. Not to mention, Dylan Lu, Dennis Lu's son, seemed to be involved in it.

Therefore, Ethan Lu had to prepare Dennis Lu for what's ahead of them. After all, he wouldn't let everything slip — especially if they kept on dragging Lexi in it.

And by meeting Dennis Lu, he would surely realize that; that he was being used as cannon fodder, and whoever was involved in it, had touched Ethan Lu's bottom line.

"Even if he stole money from you?" Churu could not understand how Ethan Lu's mind works. He surely knew what was Dennis Lu had been doing and yet, he hadn't touched him. Instead, Ethan Lu's action was merely to put a stop to his uncle's operation.

'I'm giving him to Grandpa. He'll handle his favorite son himself.' Ethan Lu replied through his mind.

Indeed, if it wasn't for Edward Lu, he would have given Dennis Lu the torture of his life that he would not forget. However, since Edward Lu asked him a favor, how could he reject it?

Thus, he had been lenient and turned a blind eye most of the time. But, if he wanted to, he had exposed Dennis Lu for a long time.

Soon, Churu and Ethan Lu arrived at the floor where his office located. However, instead of going straight to his office, Ethan Lu went directly to Lyrick Jiang's post.

"Yo," Ethan Lu knocked on the assistant's table, snapping him out from his working rhythm.

"Master!" Lyrick Jiang jolted from his seat. He was too immense working on a document that he didn't notice Ethan Lu's presence.

"Aren't you working hard?" Smiling from ear to ear, Ethan Lu teased. "Anyway, can you arrange a meeting with Miss Wang? Preferably, today."

"Miss Wang?" Lyrick Jiang's brows slightly furrowed. He didn't like that woman.

Lyrick Jiang was never this annoyed to a woman, but to this senator's daughter, he was. He could tell that Laurel Wang was interested in his master.

After all, the way Laurel Wang interacted with him and the way she looked at Ethan Lu, it was no doubt that she liked him. Hence, if Lyrick Jiang could sense it, Ethan Lu must've sensed it as well.

Therefore, Ethan Lu had confronted her by telling her to keep her distance as he already has someone. Fortunately, Laurel Wang seemed to be someone rational because she kept her distance from Ethan Lu.

But now, why does Ethan Lu wanted him to arrange a meeting with Laurel Wang? If he remembered correctly, Ethan Lu's formal affairs with Laurel Wang was near its end. Hence, there shouldn't be any major matter to discuss.

Ethan Lu understood Lyrick Jiang's train of thoughts more than anyone. Hence, to give him peace of mind, Ethan Lu has to say his last remark.

"Who is Miss Wang? Who is that~?" Confused, Churu wrinkled her spotless forehead as she tilted her head to the side. Since she was gone when Lexi called earlier, and she returned to the heavenly realm when Ethan Lu officially took over the Lu Corporation, this name was new to her.

'A woman that someone looked like me is kissing.' Ethan Lu answered without a pause, throwing Churu to a pool of confusion.

'What?! Kissing?!'

"Chacha, your spying mission isn't done yet because..." As soon as Ethan Lu closed the door behind him, he ignored Churu's question and immediately headed to his desk.

Ethan Lu then picked up a spare phone inside the drawer. Upon turning it on, messages came flooding its inbox.

Meanwhile, Churu was curious thus, she flew closer to the phone and read the short message that came from the contact name Lou. The message Churu read was just a single capital letter "K"

"You have to follow him." Just then, Ethan Lu glanced at Churu and gave out her next mission.

"You mean, Louis Lu?" Knitting her nonexistent brows, Churu narrowed her eyes as she stared back. Of course, she remembered him, the weird cousin of Ethan Lu.

It was then the time when Churu bid her goodbye to Lexi when Louis Lu's character came into the picture. Seeing that Lexi and Ethan Lu were doing well, Churu assumed that that suspicious cousin wasn't bad news.

"You know him?"

"Duh? I'm Lexi's former guide." In a matter-of-fact tone, Churu rolled her eyes. "What about him?"

"He'll lead you to someone, someone whose real colors I haven't seen." Upon uttering those words, Ethan Lu's grip onto the phone tightened.

Deep down, his instinct told him that there was something with Lincoln Lu that more than meets the eye. He doesn't know exactly but, Ethan Lu's instincts were always right.

He already had this thought in mind for a long time. However, Ethan Lu didn't know how to expose his real colors as he was more discreet than anyone. But now that he has Churu, Ethan Lu finally has a way to see deeper.

"Okie doks~" Churu shrugged her shoulders. "Just don't get in trouble while I'm away — remember, BOL." Raising her tiny finger up, Churu reminded.

"Mhmm... the battle of life." Ethan Lu nodded his head in understanding before returning his attention back to this boring paperwork.

His enemies were coming from left and right. Fortunately, he had an added ally which was ten times more reliable than anyone, even better than him.

Therefore, Ethan Lu mustn't waste time as he needed to step in his game. Or else, not just him, but everybody he held dearly would fall to his enemies trap.
