Wei Che turned around, took steady steps, and walked towards the gate of the Wei family.
His back was straight and resolute, and every step he took was steady, as if he was carrying out some kind of mission.
As soon as he walked out of the Wei family's gate, Wei Che's expression changed instantly.
The originally gentle look in his eyes suddenly darkened, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.
His eyes were like deep pools frozen by ice, so deep and cold that people dared not look directly at them.
The coldness spread from the bottom of his eyes, making his eyes reveal a firmness and determination, as if he had made some kind of decision that could not be changed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as torches, staring intently at the front, as if he could see through all obstacles.
The originally soft corners of his mouth were now slightly turned down, and the lines became cold and hard, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
He straightened his back and strode towards the Lu family's shop next door. Every step he took was full of power, as if he was going to leave deep footprints on the ground.
The coldness and resolute aura emanating from him made passersby look at him sideways and feel awe.
At this moment, Wei Che exuded a handsome yet intimidating aura, as if the whole world was under his control and nothing could stop him from moving forward.
He walked straight towards the Lu family's shop next door.
Wei Che walked steadily into the Lu family shop, his posture straight and his steps steady and powerful. Each step was taken with great measure, showing his usual steadiness. He calmly swept his eyes over the busy people in the shop and walked straight to the clerk closest to him.
After he stood still, he nodded slightly, his tone unhurried but with an authority that could not be refused: "I want to see Lu Jin."
The voice was low and clear, without any unnecessary emotional fluctuations, but it inexplicably made people feel an invisible pressure.
The clerk was concentrating on arranging the shelves. He was startled by Wei Che's sudden words and almost dropped the items in his hands.
He hurriedly raised his head and met Wei Che's calm yet deep gaze, and was suddenly at a loss.
The aura emanating from Wei Che made him feel uneasy. He swallowed subconsciously and quickly responded, "Please wait a moment. I'll go and inform you."
At this time, the second-in-command of the Lu family shop happened to pass by.
He was a smart and observant person. The moment he saw Wei Che, his heart skipped a beat.
Wei Che was usually gentle and polite to others, but at this moment his expression was cold. Although there was no obvious anger, there seemed to be surging waves hidden beneath the calmness.
The second-in-command's heart was filled with alarm. His intuition told him that Wei Che's visit this time must be unusual, and he might have discovered something.
He didn't dare to delay for even a second and hurried towards the Lu family mansion.
Along the way, he walked hurriedly but tried not to appear flustered so as not to attract the attention of others.
When the second-in-command rushed to the room where Lu Jin was, he was already slightly out of breath.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in after getting permission.
"Miss Lu," he lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Wei Che is here. He looks very strange. I'm scared when I see him. I'm afraid he has discovered something about our Lu family."
As he spoke, his eyes were full of worry, and he looked out the door from time to time, fearing that there were ears on the other side of the wall.
Lu Jin was concentrating on calculating the accounts, and the brush in his hand was writing dense numbers on the account book.
Hearing the second-in-command's words, her hand movements suddenly stopped, and the originally smooth strokes came to an abrupt end, leaving an abrupt ink mark on the account book.
A hint of panic flashed across her eyes, and the fingers holding the brush tightened slightly, and her knuckles turned white.
But in just a moment, she quickly adjusted her mood and regained her calm and composed appearance.
She gently put down the brush, raised her hand to tidy up the hair on her temples, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Please invite him in."
The voice was still soft, but revealed a sense of feigned calmness.
She knew in her heart that since Wei Che had come to her, he must have some evidence or clues. She had to be careful in the next meeting. If she was not careful, the Lu family's plan might fail.
Wei Che walked into the room steadily, his eyes fixed on Lu Jin from the moment he stepped through the door, without the slightest deviation.
He stood tall and straight, his steps steady, each step seemed to make a dull sound on the ground, showing his inner determination.
Walking to the center of the room, he naturally found a place to sit down, his movements neither hurried nor slow. He first slightly turned sideways, gently lifted the hem of his clothes, and then slowly sat down. He sat upright with his back straight, showing his calmness and dignity.
After sitting down, he leaned forward slightly, folded his hands on his knees, and looked at Lu Jin with a sharp gaze. Without any prelude, he asked directly, "Lu Jin, what exactly did you want by framing the Wei family several times?"
His voice was low and powerful, and it was particularly clear in the quiet room. Every word was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
An extremely innocent expression instantly appeared on Lu Jin's face, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of confusion, as if he really had no idea what Wei Che said.
She tilted her head slightly, spread her hands, and pretended to be dumbfounded. "Master Wei, I don't understand what you're saying. How could I possibly frame you? My Lu family and the Wei family have always kept to themselves and have frequent interactions. You can't wrongly accuse me like this."
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, with a vivid expression on her face, as if she was really aggrieved by Wei Che's words.
Wei Che's expression remained unchanged as he watched Lu Jin's performance quietly. After she finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and picked up the teacup on the table.
He gently blew away the hot air from the rim of the cup, his movements graceful and calm. He seemed to be sipping tea leisurely, but in fact he was secretly observing Lu Jin's reaction.
After a moment, he took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a subtle sneer, his eyes full of mockery.
He leaned slightly against the back of the chair, with one hand casually resting on the armrest, and the other hand tapping the edge of the chair lightly from time to time, making a rhythmic sound.
"When I was framed by the letter for the first time, I didn't even suspect you."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene at that time, but his tone remained calm, as if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him. "But during the banquet, you came from the direction of the warehouse, but pretended not to hear anything, and even talked to my sister-in-law as if nothing had happened. This is a bit suspicious."
Having said that, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared straight at Lu Jin, trying to catch a flaw in her expression.
Lu Jin still looked innocent, as if he had just heard a ridiculous joke. He chuckled softly, then spread his hands and said defensively, "Master Wei, your conjecture is far-fetched. My passing through the warehouse was just a coincidence. How can you suspect me based on that? The warehouse is always busy, so it's normal for me to pass by there. And I really didn't hear anything at the time, so how could I know what happened to the Wei family? You can't conclude that I'm framing you based on this alone."
