Shen Yan and Mrs. Shen looked up suddenly and saw the young man in black clothes and pants. It was as if they had seen the Grim Reaper from hell. They screamed in unison.

"Ahhh—"

Mrs. Shen stumbled backward, knocking over a chair. Her heel hit the chair, and she fell to the ground in a disheveled manner, completely lacking the poise expected of a lady of high society.

Shen Yan was the first to react, collapsing straight onto the bed with a delicate frown, her face filled with sorrow and pain. She wailed like Lin Daiyu, "Lu Zheng, you've finally come..."

Her appearance was extremely pitiful, but Lu Zheng didn't even spare her a glance.

After waiting in vain for Lu Zheng's favor, Shen Yan's initial confidence plummeted.

Lu Zheng took a step forward unhurriedly, while Lu Jianhua retreated in fear.

Lu Zheng asked, "I didn't die, which made my uncle very disappointed."

Before Lu Jianhua could fully process the shock of the turn of events, he quickly changed his tune and scolded, "We received a call from the police saying that your car was involved in a serious accident and the driver was likely to have died on the spot... Since you're not dead, why didn't you let your family know? You've made us so sad!"

"Oh?" Lu Zheng raised his hand, and the phone in his palm was playing a recording of Lu Jianhua's conversation with the Shen family mother and daughter after he entered the ward.

"I didn't see your sadness, but I did see your eagerness to divide up the Lu Group."

As Lu Zheng spoke, he approached again, his chilling aura causing Lu Jianhua's internal organs to tremble with fear.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Jianhua screamed fiercely.

The voice was extremely harsh and shrill, and the speaker acted like an elder, trying to suppress Lu Zheng.

Lu Jianhua continued to argue, "The Lu Group has lost its backbone. Your father and the others went on vacation to Chuncheng, causing panic and anxiety throughout the company. If our Lu family hadn't stepped forward in time to stabilize morale, it probably wouldn't be in the same situation as the Shen Group now! We have put in a lot of effort, how can you distort it like this!"

"You've really worked hard." Lu Zheng patted Lu Jianhua's shoulder, his fingertips slowly tightening, almost piercing through the suit and into the flesh.

Lu Jianhua grimaced in pain and couldn't speak.

Lu Zheng said, "To avoid making you all work so hard at your age, I will arrange everything for the Lu Group. However, where you will spend your retirement years... that will probably be up to the police."

"What do you mean?!" Lu Jianhua ignored the pain in his shoulder and clutched his throbbing chest. "What kind of paranoia are you having now?!"

He suddenly realized that he had plotted against Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng had seen through his scheme early on and turned the tables on him.

Even though Lu Zheng had already pushed him to the edge of a cliff, how could he possibly surrender without resistance!

"Hehe, I know you've been mentally unstable since you were little! When others have good intentions, you always see them as people who want to kill or harm you! You've broken our hearts countless times."

Lu Zheng's eyes darkened further, and the sinister, cold light seemed to grip Lu Jianhua's neck like an invisible hand.

In a daze, it felt as if time had turned back to many years ago.

That dark, gloomy boy, filled with the murderous aura of death, reappeared before me.

Despite being mired in the mud and dust for a long time, he still managed to sweep through the Lu Group with his thunderous iron fist and unparalleled courage, forcing his father, Lu Jiancong, the former president of the Lu Group, to step down, and then continuously reducing the power of some members of the family.

Ultimately, he became a ruthless and autocratic emperor in the Lu family's business empire.

Although the family had been relatively harmonious for the past two years, he almost forgot that it wasn't just him who resented being trampled on by a brat like Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng also deeply hated them.

This hatred did not disappear because they left the Lu Group.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his bloodless lips trembled as he said, "Lu Zheng, how long are you going to keep hurting your own family? Aren't you afraid of ruining the Lu family and being called an unfilial descendant by the outside world?!"

He pointed at Lu Zheng's face rudely, his fingertips almost poking into his eyes.

Lu Zheng remained expressionless, grabbed Lu Jianhua's hand, and easily twisted his wrist backward.

With a sharp "crack," a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, shattered the silence of the ward.

Chen Yan was so frightened that she couldn't squeeze out any tears, and stared blankly at the uncle and nephew.

The elder, who was forty years older and had more experience, was actually a head shorter than the younger generation.

"Murder! Lu Zheng has murdered someone!" Lu Jianhua screamed at the top of his lungs.

Just then, there was a knock on the ward door.

Immediately afterwards, several uniformed police officers came in and showed them their identification.

Lu Jianhua was overjoyed, assuming that his assistant, who was waiting outside, had noticed something was wrong and called the police. He hurriedly shouted, "Police! Come and catch this murderer! He's been mentally unstable since he was a child; he's a beast who would kill even his own family!"

The lead police officer didn't even look at Lu Zheng, and said to Lu Jianhua, "We received a report from the public that the heavy truck driver at the intersection of Jixiang Road was instructed by you to stage a traffic accident to murder Lu Zheng. Now please come with us to accept the investigation."

"Wh-what..." Lu Jianhua froze, his blood boiling and rushing to his head, making his brain feel like it was about to explode.

"It wasn't me! I didn't do anything! Lu Zheng, are you framing me?!"

Lu Zheng's lips curled into a pleased yet sarcastic smile. "Uncle, you should cooperate fully with the police investigation and explain things clearly as soon as possible. Don't let the Lu family be tarnished."

Lu Jianhua shuddered violently.

Grandpa Lu established a family rule.

Anyone who commits a crime must immediately leave the Lu family, and the Lu family will sever all ties with them from then on.
