Lin Xiao sat down by the window of Ming's office and turned to look down at the view of the high-rise buildings.

Lu Pei didn't take it seriously. He pulled up the chair next to him, leaned against Lin Xiao, and sat down, waiting for him to speak.

He had never been so humble before—no, he had never treated anyone so gently!

"What do you want to ask me? About what I did?"

The real-life interactions in officialdom are far more exciting than what you see on TV dramas. I never expected that the Lu family members would all be expressionless.

008 leaned close to Lin Xiao's ear and reminded him, "Host, you'd better be patient. Although the male supporting character is very sharp-tongued and the female supporting character is very mean, you can't kill anyone, you can't kill anyone!"

We live under the rule of law; we must abide by the law.

Lin Xiao sneered inwardly, "Hmph, then I can use someone else to do my dirty work."

"No, I believe you have your reasons. I called you here because I want to know if you did this because of your brother."

When Lu Pei heard that Lin Xiao had come to talk to him about something that wasn't his own business, but rather his brother's, he was shocked.

That's true, it's a bit surprising.

He coughed a few times and looked into Lin Xiao's bright eyes.

"No, I started this business for the sake of starting a business in this industry and for peace within our circle."

Seeing Lin Xiao's serious expression and listening intently, Lu Pei paused again.

"You don't need to know the rest. All you need to know is that my next target is the Lin family."

"The Lu family is ruined, and we're preparing to acquire them. But I'm curious, aren't you afraid I'll take action against you?"

Lin Xiao leaped off the chair, walked past him, and stared at Lu Pei with a meaningful look.

"The person who saved me from the cliff back then was so kind-hearted, I really can't understand why they would harm me?"

He smiled, his eyes glancing at the three-person photo on the shelf, which should have been displayed at the Lu family's residence.

He handed the group photo to Lu Pei, offering a gentle smile—a smile that conveyed absolutely no hostility towards him.

"If you truly hate me too, then why bother doing this?"

Lin Xiao then got straight to the point, bringing up old stories, not caring that he was now on enemy territory, always so direct.

Controlling the plot's development is always more important than any skill, but this damn system just won't give it to him!!

"However, I understand what you mean. I will take good care of Lu Yu, both morally and logically."

"But I won't let you touch him!"

Lu Pei stared at Lin Xiao's departing figure, lost in thought, and heard him muttering to himself.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.

"After all these years, it's still the same as before?"

Jiang Shan believed that her ideas were different from others. Even if Lu's Group was acquired, Lu Yu's own strength would definitely cause a huge mess!

So she still wanted to cling to Lu Yu.

She wiped what she considered her delicate, fair hands, pushed open the CEO's door, and greeted him with a gentle smile.

"Has this person left? Why didn't they stay for dinner?"

Lu Pei was very clear about Lin Xiao's intentions; he was both foolish and smarter than others, so he ignored what Jiang Shan said.

He took out his phone, knowing that the game he hadn't logged into in a long time was in an uproar, so he specially changed his account to log in.

His eyes swept over the woman who still didn't know when to leave, and he scolded, "Get out. I'll call you if I need anything."

Liu Yang, who had been waiting impatiently at the door, pushed it open and entered.

Frowning his handsome, sword-like eyebrows, he glanced at Lu Pei calmly playing on his phone and felt a surge of displeasure.
