One of Chi Tongs greatest strengths was his ability to act first and ask questions later. He had silently waited for Luo Ying to be free before talking about his purpose for meeting Luo Ying during her vacation.
Luo Ying quickly devised plans for the upcoming few months with Chi Tongs assistance. She made sure she got the exposure she needed and gave herself plenty of time for a vacation.
The three siblings set off on a world tour in the ensuing six months.
They went skiing in a forest of pine trees and diving in the tropical ocean. Luo Ying appeared to be stepping out of the shadow of divorce with the help of her brothers.
It was just that she would experience a few days of decline once a month. Luo Ying always explained to her brother that it was natural for girls to endure this pain each month.
Additionally, Jin Shi and Yuan Ke were constantly looking into ways to get back to their own real world and gradually learned a few rules.
Happiness, though, was never lasting. A half-year went by very quickly. Finally, the vacation was coming to an end. Luo Ying had only produced one luxury product advertisement in the previous six months. She would be unable to maintain her popularity if she did not come back to work in her homeland.
Even though traveling was a lot of fun, it was also crucial to launch a business!
“All right, my flight is calling. Third Brother, bye,” In the departures hall of the airport, Luo Ying bid Jin Shi farewell on the final day of the vacation.
A new film by Jin Shi was scheduled to be shot abroad. Yuan Ke was working to find a way for them to return to the real world using the resources of a foreign research facility, so he was unable to travel with Luo Ying.
Jin Shi laughed when Luo Ying made a silly face. She waved her hand and grinned before turning around and heading for the boarding gate.
The nation’s quadrennial government election had just concluded at the same time. There were new politicians in charge, and some were resigning.
[Li Shan, a former mayor of Lan City who embezzled 300 million, received a fixed-term prison sentence…]
Old Master Lu watched the election results on television in the old home of the Lu Family. He ruthlessly threw the teacup he was holding on the ground.
“Lu Zhao! Where has Lu Zhao gone? Call him back to the old mansion! “.
The old mansion’s servants were so terrified that they dared not speak. Only a silent call to Lu Zhao was possible.
Lu Zhao did not make things difficult for them and readily agreed to return to the old residence at night.
“Grandpa, I’m back.” At precisely six o’clock, Lu Zhao entered the old residence of the Lu Family. Like every filial junior, he prepared a “big gift” for the elderly man.
In the large living room, Old Master Lu and Lu Wen were sitting at the main seat. The Lu family’s second son, Lu He, as well as a few other significant figures from the side branches, had also arrived.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lu Zhao when he entered. Although everyone had different expressions, they were far colder than usual.
Instead of being silent in such a tense setting, Lu Zhao laughed aloud. “Why does everyone look like theyre attending a funeral? It’s not auspicious in front of Grandpa.”
“Lu Zhao! Old Master Lu swung his cane angrily and struck the ground. No one dared to curse him to death in front of him!
Lu Wen had a dark face as well. “Brother, you must be really proud of yourself. I didn’t expect you to drag Li Shan down with you.”
In Lan City, the Lu Family was a presence that covered the sky with just one hand. Naturally, the political world had to be involved in the group’s development. Li Shan was at first the mayor of Lan City, but he later advanced all the way. He provided the Lu Family with many resources during his term in office, and the Lu Family also put in a lot of effort to help Li Shan advance in the political sphere.
But this time, Li Shan was not only found guilty of corruption and bribery and given a swift prison sentence, as opposed to his continued rise as the Lu Family had hoped.
Lu Zhao appeared genuinely shocked. “What are you talking about, Lu Wen? Why would you relate a typical change of hands in the government to me? I have always followed the law.”
Old Master Lu had attempted to intimidate him by using the company, but he had made a serious error in judgment!
Every time the balance of political power shifted, there would be a reorganization. Lu Zhao had also long planned to take advantage of this chance. As long as he could bring Li Shan to the ground, Old Master Lu’s strength would take a severe hit.
Powerful men always detested being in threatened, and Old Nlaster Lu was no exception.
“Lu Zhao, you may have dealt us a serious blow, but at what cost? You barely came out limping from it! Do you really believe that doing this will make life simple for your Luya Group? Lu He said irately.
Investigation into Li Shan’s corruption by the inspector had nearly damned them all. The past few days had been an exhausting war of damage control.
“You need not be concerned about that.” Lu Zhao threw the “gift” in his hand onto the coffee table with an icy grin on his lips. “You’re already deeply in debt. You should worry about yourself first!
“What is this?” The small group was alarmed and shocked..
