“You’re all ridiculous. You don’t believe I’m real, yet you want me to be your shadow.”
"Did we ask you to be his shadow, or did you choose to be his shadow yourself?"
Lu Yuanhong had always felt that the other party was contradictory. At this moment, he should actually take action, but instead he was discussing so much with him. What did he want to get out of him?
Just like now, he could have easily pretended, made things difficult for himself, and suffered a lot, and maybe Fang Yao wouldn't hate him.
"I don't know either."
"You can leave now."
Seeing Marshal Lu wouldn't change anything. From the moment he appeared in the interstellar space, the downfall of the Lu family's army, or rather, Lu Yulan's fate, was sealed.
But deep down, there was a tiny sliver of hope that they would succeed.
...
In the conference room.
Grandpa Lu looked at Bai Shan, who was facing him, and asked, "You still came?"
Bai Shan sighed softly, a hint of smugness in his eyes.
“As a comrade-in-arms for many years, I naturally don’t want you to go astray. That child is just the offspring of a rebel, not worth your protection.”
Disappointment flickered in Grandpa Lu's eyes. He turned away, no longer looking at Baishan.
“As long as you sign this document, you can leave. You don’t want the Lu family’s reputation to be ruined like this.”
"Then why use her as a raft? Whether I want to protect her or not, I still have to sign this document."
Grandpa Lu took it, glanced at it, and his eyes flashed with fury.
"You're all crazy! I will never agree to this."
Bai Shan smiled gently. He had waited so many years and endured so much, just to see this day. The Bai family would flourish under his leadership, and he would become the greatest figure.
This is just the first step.
It means creating the most powerful army.
"Whether you agree or not, this matter is inevitable. It is the Queen's order. Will you disobey?"
Grandpa Lu chuckled. The Empress? She was no longer the Empress who fought alongside him on the battlefield.
"Resistance?"
"You overestimate me. Sometimes I wonder, is the current Empress truly the result of what happened back then, or is it because of..."
At that moment, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a shadow in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I can sign, but you have to agree to one condition. You know you can't beat me."
"Save that child? You know I can't."
"But you can choose not to kill her."
Bai Shan shook his head. "You always have this unnecessary kindness."
"That's why I hate you the most."
"That must have been tough on you, working with me for so many years. Come to think of it, I've always been curious about how your superpowers and combat abilities improved?"
Grandpa Lu's words made Bai Shan's face stiffen, as if he had hit the other party's weak spot.
Bai Shan stopped talking and just stared intently at Grandpa Lu, his eyes clearly conveying his desire for Grandpa Lu to sign.
But this performance also made Grandpa Lu understand something.
"When did this plan begin? Was it eighteen years ago, or forty years ago?"
"Shut up!"
Grandpa Lu stopped talking, simply took the documents next to him, and signed his name.
"Take it, I hope you won't regret it."
Bai Shan smiled smugly, "I think you'll be the one who regrets it. If you want to back out now, I can plead for you."
"No need. Think about your own future."
Grandpa Lu stopped talking, turned his chair around so that his back was to Baishan, and successfully silenced Baishan.
After a moment, Grandpa Lu spoke again.
"Come out!"
