After recovering from his illness, Lu Yu followed the trail and realized that those guys weren't there; they must have gone to the Lin family's place.
Pushing aside the approaching butler, he went to the door himself. Glancing sideways, he saw Situ Nan staring at him with the same look he had on a priceless treasure, which made the abyss in Situ Nan's eyes even deeper.
He straightened his collar, averted his gaze, and returned to his usual teasing expression as he walked towards the center of their group.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Me? Why didn't you include me, the main character?"
"Are you still angry with me? How about I apologize?"
Well, at least she's not so down anymore, that's great. She even knows to apologize to him.
"Hmph, what are you saying? Situ Nan and I were just talking about you, Young Master Lu!"
Lu Yu waved his hand to indicate his dislike, judging from Lin Xiao's tone. He made a prohibitive gesture, placed his hand on Lin Xiao's shoulder, and said seriously.
"Now that the Lu family is gone, will my brothers still be my friends?"
Lin Xiao rubbed his forehead and rolled his eyes. There really are shameless people like this in the world; it's unbelievable.
"Alright, enough nonsense. We're already surprised you didn't cripple us. Sit down right now. I've already figured out where your brother is."
Upon hearing news of Lu Pei, they pushed back the chair next to them and said, "Tell me, where is he?"
Lin Xiao glanced at Lu Yu's impulsiveness out of the corner of his eye, and the thought of how he used to act in the team made him want to laugh.
"You talk too much nonsense. He works at our rival company, Ming Group. I've heard that the organization there is specifically for people who have had enough of being persecuted."
He tossed a stack of documents to Lu Yu and Situ Nan, glanced at them and seeing their disbelieving expressions, then played a video on his computer.
"This is inside the Ming Group. The man's name is Liu Yang. Don't let his unpretentious name fool you; I've heard he's a real heartthrob."
"But we have no evidence, no way to get it. His only goal is to make you watch him destroy the Lu family step by step, and me too. He said he wants to take me away from you..."
Lu Yu snatched the portion of food that Lin Xiao had given him and slammed it onto the stage. He then looked Lin Xiao in the eye and said...
"That Pei guy, does he still want to mess with you? Don't worry about it, I'll handle it. But I'd also like you to go and deal with Jiang Shan and Lin Xiao!"
Lin Xiao felt a surge of disdain in his heart, but said jokingly, "Well, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to get close to Shan'er."
He and Situ Nan stared at each other, their eyes fixed on the door that Lu Yu had slammed shut in anger. Lin Xiao tossed it aside, leaned back, and winked playfully.
System 008 yawned and lifted its eyelids to look at the host shouting behind it.
[What are you yelling about? Weren't you just here?]
'Are you an idiot? By the way, this world is a bit tedious and slow, why don't you speed things up? You're wasting my time!'
'Can't I just go and tell the male lead to give up on revenge? Can't I just yell at him to stop liking men and go back to a woman's arms?'
"Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm not being sexist!"
System 008 waved its little hand, telling him not to rush, [What's the rush? This dimension has a big surprise for you, just wait!]
[Stop talking nonsense! The male lead is about to make his move. He wants to acquire the Zhang Group, so what are you waiting for?!]
Situ Nan rested her chin on her hand, stretched out her hand in front of him, and looked at the fair-skinned man with amusement, wondering why he was staring at her.
Seeing that he did not react, Situ Nan leaned close to his ear, made a gesture to Zhang Lili to stop, and whispered.
"What's wrong with you? Snap out of it!"
