Chapter 733 Paying the Price
After Zhong Nian Yao left, only Lu Yichen and Old Master Lu were left in the living room.
For a moment, neither of them spoke first, and the living room fell into silence.
Lu Yichen sat there quietly. He didn't even look at Mr. Lu, nor did he speak. His face was silent, as if he didn't care about anything.
In fact, he really didn't care. If Zhong Nianyao hadn't come here today, he wouldn't have appeared here.
On the other hand, Mr. Lu was not so calm. He was in a state of panic. Lu Yichen did not speak, and he did not know how to speak.
He had originally thought of asking Zhong Nianyao to leave, as he and Lu Yichen were easy to talk to. But now that they were alone, he didn't know how to start.
Lu Yichen remained silent, so Old Man Lu had no choice but to speak first. "Yichen, since you already know your life story, let me tell you about your parents today! Otherwise, you might hear nonsense from other people and cause misunderstandings between us. That would be bad."
"No need." Lu Yichen raised his eyes, his cold gaze falling on Mr. Lu. "Besides, do you really think there is a misunderstanding between us?"
"Yichen." Mr. Lu was a little anxious. "What happened back then is really not what you think. I——"
"Lu Kun." Lu Yichen called out Old Man Lu's name directly. "Don't think you're treating me like a fool. I've already investigated everything that happened back then. I even know everything about my parents' death."
"There's no misunderstanding between us, and there's no need for you to explain. Honestly, what we have is a deep-seated blood feud!"
"No, I didn't kill your parents." Old Master Lu quickly explained, "Your parents were killed by those drug lords. I had nothing to do with them. Yes, I implicated them. But it was really just an accident. The drug lord's leader has been apprehended, and we didn't expect those who escaped would go looking for your parents."
When he said this, Mr. Lu's eyes turned red and he became emotional. "Yichen, I am sorry for you. But what happened back then was indeed an accident."
"Accident?" Lu Yichen looked at Old Man Lu, his expression unchanged. "For so many years, you've been using this excuse to comfort yourself! Have you actually deceived yourself?"
"Yichen, why don't you want to believe me?" Old Master Lu looked heartbroken. "Don't you really understand how I've treated you over the years?"
"Well, are you willing to swear on your descendants?" Lu Yichen looked at Old Man Lu sarcastically. "Swear that what happened to my parents was truly an accident. You had no hand in it. You just wanted to seize my family's property. Swear that over the years, you have truly treated me as your own son."
"If what you say is a lie, then all your grandparents and descendants will suffer retribution, your family will be destroyed, and you will have no descendants."
As soon as such a vicious oath came out, Mr. Lu froze there. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but no words came out, let alone an oath.
The older people get, the more they believe in oaths, especially those who have done something wrong.
This is what Mr. Lu is like. He wants to swear, but he is afraid that the oath will come true.
Looking at Mr. Lu's appearance, Lu Yichen had a mocking smile on his face, "What? You can't say it, right?"
"Lu Kun, you are truly cruel! My biological parents saved your life. But in the end, you caused them to be killed by those drug lords who slipped through the net. How can someone like you still have the nerve to live in this world?"
Listening to Lu Yichen's words, Mr. Lu fell into a state of dejection. He didn't know what to say, but he still spoke, "You...when did you know?"
He didn't expect that Lu Yichen already knew everything that happened that year. So, everything he said now was just like a clown in front of Lu Yichen.
"It's not important." Lu Yichen leaned back, his face expressionless. "I know everything you've ever done. So what? You haven't officially answered my question yet."
Things had come to this point, and Mr. Lu had nothing to hide. His eyes were red and his face was filled with guilt.
"Yichen, what happened back then was all my fault. I was possessed by the devil for a moment. I will accept any punishment you want."
Lu Yichen raised his head and glanced around the living room before looking at Old Man Lu. He continued, "Without our family's money, you wouldn't have been able to climb to such a high position. You harmed my parents, but it made your life successful. Lu Kun, you're really good at this!"
Mr. Lu took a deep breath, looked at Lu Yichen, and said, "Yichen, now that you know all the truth, how do you want to deal with me now?"
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Lu Yichen said indifferently, "You killed my parents, but your parents are no longer with us. So, if there is really hatred, who do you think I should blame? Don't you have three sons? How about putting these accounts on them?"
"No--"
Old Master Lu spoke anxiously, then said, "Yichen, that's all my fault. You can do whatever you want to me, but please let the others go! Especially your brothers, they are all unaware of it. When it happened, they were just ignorant children!"
"If you don't want me to blame them, that's fine!"
Lu Yichen nodded, looking nonchalant, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
Hearing this, Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lu Yichen's next words made him feel relieved again.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor," Lu Yichen continued, "As long as you are willing to pay the price for this, then they will naturally be fine. Otherwise -"
When he said this, Lu Yichen's tone became more serious. "Don't blame me for being rude when the time comes. You probably don't want to see my methods."
Mr. Lu was shocked, "What price will I have to pay?"
