Chapter 505 - Silver Against Gold (II)

Lu Yin Ze took a seat after Guan Gao Huan.

Guan Gao Huan's smile was unchanging.

"What's the matter that you need to speak to me privately?"

Earlier, their stand-off took a bit of attention from nearby guests.

After Lu Yin Ze had confirmed that Xiong Zhi had already escaped away, he knew that he should still not let Guan Gao Huan easily go.

Because he could not stay beside Xiong Zhi for the rest of the night to help her ward off the man, he decided to stick to this man for the entire night instead.

Lu Yin Ze leaned back on the chair and smiled at him.

"I just want to catch up with you, we've been really close before after all. How is my 'best friend' doing all these years? You stayed abroad for a long time and barely stayed in the country."

Lu Yin Ze acted familiarly.

He and Guan Gao Huan were childhood playmates.

Once, when both madams of the Guan and Lu family were still alive, these two families had been rather close to each other. Among the young masters of the Guan family, Lu Yin Ze was the closest with the youngest Guan brother, Gao Huan.

Even though Lu Yin Ze was still young and could not exactly remember all of his memories with Guan Gao Huan, he knew that his little friend was timid and more of a crybaby than him. Which was why he could not believe what he had recently found out with Xiong Zhi.

Lu Yin Ze's eyes did not waver while looking at Gao Huan.

How could his timid friend who could not hurt a fly commit such a terrible ploy calculating the head of the Xiong family, almost poisoning the old man to death?

Lu Yin Ze could not think of a reason why a Guan needed to do that.

But he knew that this same reason might be why Xiong Zhi did not want to be alone with this man.

If Guan Gao Huan had this kind of motive directed at the head of the Xiong family, he must have another motive as well in approaching Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi must have known that.

Guan Gao Huan met Lu Yin Ze's eyes. He questioned himself why he had to accept this man's invitation just to be interrogated. Well, he would just take this experience for Lu Jin. Once he met the man, he would have some stories to tell.

"I told you, there's really nothing much to catch up with. My life abroad is pretty carefree, but I'm always occupied so I didn't go home often."

"You changed a lot."

"It's been many years, more than a decade already. You yourself should know how much a person can change after living for a long time overseas, after all, you did too."

Lu Yin Ze scoffed.

What a pretentious man. They both knew that he did not go overseas.

But he went along.

"I guess you're right. I'm just curious, how come you and my brother have a close relationship, even though both of you stayed in different countries? Is there some encounter I didn't know?" Lu Yin Ze asked with an angelic smile.

How come his brother's secret poison was the same as Guan Gao Huan's poison?

There must be some kind of deal between the two, or a tie connecting these two dots. Such a unique poison was definitely not lying around in many people's hands.

Guan Gao Huan's golden eyes flashed.

"Brother? Oh, are you talking about Lu Jin? So you're still thinking of him as your brother after all these years? How nice of you."

Lu Yin Ze chuckled coldly. "Of course. My brother is only banished orally by my grandfather. He still isn't erased from the family register. In name, he's still my brother."

Guan Gao Huan chuckled.

"Then ask him personally how we met. It's simple to do. Unless, you are afraid of him?"

The alarm in Lu Yin Ze's mind was growing.

How much did this person know?

This person implied knowing that Lu Yin Ze did not stay overseas.

He had that unique poison of Lu Yin Ze's brother in his hands. He did not even deny having a close relationship with Lu Yin Ze's brother. He also seemed to know that Lu Yin Ze was once afraid of his brother.

These were all too much to be coincidences.

Lu Yin Ze: "Why would you think of that? Brother and I haven't talked for ages. I am actually surprised that you two shared a rather deep friendship." You even used the same poison.

"Are you jealous? Don't be afraid, your brother always looks after you wherever he went."

Lu Yin Ze stilled.

Meaning, his brother, Lu Jin, was monitoring him.

Then he calmed down. It was not surprising.

They were looking for something from him, so Lu Yin Ze would naturally be under their surveillance.

"Then please tell him when you meet him, I am very grateful that he always thinks of me."

Guan Gao Huan chuckled at Lu Yin Ze's words.

This little boy was obviously afraid of his brother, yet he was acting so pretentious.

This made Guan Gao Huan want to tease the silver-haired version of Lu Jin.

"Since you said so, I will tell him once I see him. How about your father? Do you have something to say to him as well?"

Lu Yin Ze froze.

Father?

An image appeared in Lu Yin Ze's memories.

The tall man in the shadows had chilling eyes that could make any man freeze. His expensive shoes stepped on the warm pool of blood on the cold hard floor. His steps were sharp and crisp.

The last image of his father was still etched on his mind.

Lu Yin Ze lightly shuddered.

He looked sharply at the man before him.

"You… seem to know him well?"

The man's dark gold pupils shone as he leaned forward, loving the feel of toying with Lu Yin Ze's emotions.
