Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 491 Is there any backup plan?

The living room of the villa is filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Lu Chengze opened his eyes wide, staring at Yue Chuan who seemed to have climbed out from the abyss of hell.

At this moment, Yue Chuan exuded a chilling aura of indifference, like an emotionless demon sculpture.

This sudden feeling of strangeness made Lu Chengze, who was usually calm and resolute, gasp in surprise, with an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal on his face.

For a long time, in Lu Chengze's cognition, Yue Chuan was just an unknown person from the lower class who was bent on currying favor with the powerful.

Although he was aware of Yue Chuan's hidden ambitions, he subconsciously believed that they were just small-scale ambitions that would not amount to anything.

But now, the cruel reality is like a heavy hammer, shattering his inherent cognition.

The ambition displayed by Yue Chuan was so great that he wanted to swallow up the entire Lu family and take into his pocket the huge wealth and supreme power accumulated by generations of Lu family.

Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death? Can anyone covet the Lu family's property?

Lu Chengze's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and his heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, with all kinds of feelings intertwined and surging, making him extremely painful.

Anger, like a raging fire, raged and spread in his chest, and every nerve was burned by this anger.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints turned white from the force. A strong urge surged in his heart. He wanted to rush forward immediately, swing his arms, and give Yue Chuan, this heartless "beast", two loud slaps in the face to vent the hatred and anger that had accumulated in his heart.

The heartache was like an extremely sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart and making his internal organs seem to shift out of place.

As time passed, he gradually recognized and accepted Yue Chuan as a member of the Lu family.

Especially after Lu Yuanfeng's accident, he became more and more dependent on Yue Chuan...

However, the reality is so cruel. He could never have imagined that Yue Chuan actually had such a vicious and sinister heart. He was like a wolf hiding in the darkness, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Lu family at any time.

His regret was like a surging tide that completely submerged him.

His daughter's face appeared involuntarily in his mind. When he thought about the fact that his precious daughter had been living with a jackal like Yue Chuan day and night and sharing the same bed with him, his heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles and was twisted into a ball.

His heart and eyes were filled with worry and fear about his daughter's future, as if he saw his daughter struggling in an endless dark abyss, isolated and helpless.

Under the impact of this extremely complex emotion, Lu Chengze's body trembled slightly. He stood up slowly, his movements seemed a little slow and heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.

His eyes instantly became as icy cold as the water in a cold pond and shot straight at Yue Chuan. That look seemed to be able to freeze the air and cut Yue Chuan into pieces.

At the same time, his hands were shaking violently and uncontrollably due to anger, and the veins on his arms were bulging like wriggling earthworms.

The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably from time to time, and each twitch seemed to tell of his extreme anger and pain.

"Yue Chuan, you are such a crazy beast!" Lu Chengze gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. His voice was low and full of anger, as if it was a curse from the depths of hell. "Since you are so eager for my death, why don't you dare to kill me with your own hands? Do you know who I am, Lu Chengze? I used to be a man who could cover the sky with one hand and change the situation at any time in Hanjiang!

I have been through countless storms and have seen all kinds of hardships and obstacles. How could I do something so stupid and despicable as suicide! Humph, do you think that once I die, you can succeed in your conspiracy and rest easy? Stop dreaming! If the government really wants to liquidate my Lu family, do you think you can stay out of it and get away with it? You are too naive. From the moment you stepped into the Lu family's gate, you have been tightly tied to the Lu family. Don't even think about escaping the relationship!"

Lu Chengze became more and more excited as he spoke. He raised his arm angrily and pointed at Yue Chuan with his trembling finger. That finger was like a sharp sword piercing straight into Yue Chuan's vitals.

When Yue Chuan heard Lu Chengze's roar, there was no fear on his face. Instead, he smiled calmly. That smile was full of ridicule and disdain, as if Lu Chengze's anger was just a ridiculous farce in his eyes.

He said slowly, "Lu Chengze, guess why I took the initiative to tell the higher-ups where Lao Gu was hiding? I wanted to make meritorious deeds to atone for my sins, and to win the trust and forgiveness of the Hanjiang government. Only in this way, when the storm of reckoning sweeps across your Lu family, will I have a chance to stay out of trouble and preserve my wealth and prosperity and a bright future.

Speaking of which, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't been so cold and ruthless to me and suppressed me wantonly, which kept me awake at all times, I might have been stuck in the quagmire of the Lu family and unable to extricate myself, and ended up with the same miserable and desolate fate as Lao Gu. But now, everything I have is obtained through legal and reasonable means. Don't even think about using the Lu family's mess to implicate me again. I will never be dragged into the abyss of no return by you again!"

Lu Chengze was so angry at Yue Chuan's words that his whole body was shaking violently, and his chest was rising and falling like a bellows. He was gasping for breath, and every breath seemed to be filled with burning flames.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Haha...haha...you still have the nerve to say that everything you have is legal and reasonable? How many of the money your law firm earns is clean? If it weren't for the power in my hands, if it weren't for me backing you up and protecting you from behind, would those people be willing to pay several times the market price to hire you as a lawyer? How dare you shamelessly say that you are clean? Hahaha...it's simply ridiculous! From the moment you became the son-in-law of the Lu family, while you enjoy the benefits and glory brought to you by the Lu family, you have already shouldered all the sins and charges of the Lu family! This is the original sin that you are destined to be unable to get rid of. No matter how you struggle or how you whitewash yourself, you will never be able to wash away this filth!"
