Three days later.
Lu Zhengye finally found Lu Jing's hiding place.
Lu Jing didn't avoid Lu Zhengye and opened the door to greet him directly.
Lu Zhengye was tense all over, with many of the Ghost Gang's elite troops standing behind him.
Lu Jing's actions, on the contrary, made Lu Zhengye even more uneasy.
He had expected him to come here.
The moment the large iron gate was opened, Lu Zhengye saw Lu Jing sitting on a recliner, casually trimming a flowerpot.
He looked like a kind-hearted old man.
Not long ago, Lu Zhengye was indeed fooled by his appearance.
After trimming off the last extra leaf, Lu Jing looked at Lu Zhengye and smiled kindly, "Xiao Ye, won't you come in and chat with Grandpa?"
Lu Zhengye hesitated for only a moment before stepping in.
Wei Qing was about to follow when Lu Zhengye raised his hand to stop him.
He walked up to Lu Jing alone.
He glanced around and noticed that all the curtains were wide open, making it seem like no one was being imprisoned.
Lu Zhengye felt a huge panic rising in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
Only by maintaining absolute rationality can one gain the upper hand in negotiations.
Lu Jing looked at the astonishingly outstanding young man in front of him. He was also from the Lu family, but he would never become a member of the Lu family.
If such a person is not eliminated, the Lu family will surely face an unprecedented catastrophe.
"You arrived even faster than I expected."
Lu Zhengye already knew things had taken a turn for the worse. He suppressed his fear and asked, "Where is she?"
“Uh…” Lu Jing thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “Judging by the distance, she should have arrived at the Island of the Dead by now.”
Lu Zhengye could no longer contain himself, and his eyes turned bloodshot almost instantly from rage.
He took a few steps forward and pulled Lu Jing off the recliner. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Hahaha, Grandpa's so old, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Don't call yourself grandpa, you don't deserve it," Lu Zhengye shouted.
Lu Jing stopped laughing. "I know it would be easy for you to take my life now, but if I die here today, Lin will have to come down and keep me company the next second."
Even though Lu Zhengye tried his best to remain calm, the bulging veins on his forehead betrayed his true feelings.
"Who did you hand her over to?"
Lu Jing brushed his hand away and said, "You should still remember Cao Da, right?"
Lu Zhengye had a good memory, and he immediately remembered this person. He was the leader of Bai Ning's organization and the former bully of the Dead Slave Island.
Although Lu Zhengye narrowly defeated him, he still failed to completely eliminate him.
However, many of Cao Da's weapons and money had been stolen by Gui Xing, so Lu Zhengye didn't think he could cause any trouble.
It must have been Lu Jing who helped him behind the scenes.
Lu Zhengye asked, "How did you manage to get in touch with him without my knowledge?"
"This is all thanks to you. You were so eager to execute the plan that you brought almost all of the elites and confidants of the Dead Slave Island to Deer City, which gave me an opening. The Dead Slave Island is bigger and more prosperous than I imagined. Money can make the devil turn the millstone there."
Lu Zhengye gave a mocking smile, "So you were already wary of me from the very beginning. You must be tired after acting with me for so long?"
Lu Jing rarely showed any genuine emotion, "Xiao Ye, the person I admire most in my life is you. If you are willing to turn back, all of the Lu family's future assets will be handed over to you."
"I wouldn't dare take on any of the Lu family's shady businesses," Lu Zhengye said with a mocking laugh.
Lu Jing's expression changed; he had indeed investigated to this extent.
Lu Zhengye exuded an aura like that of the King of Hell. He retreated step by step, almost reaching the door.
His laughter was arrogant and full of provocation.
"Master Lu, you'd better pray that Cao Da, that good-for-nothing, kills me. If he gives me the chance to come back, I won't be so easy to talk to."
Lu Jing was deeply shocked.
Lu Zhengye made his choice without making a sound; he chose to abandon the plan he had been preparing for several years, all for the sake of a woman.
Lu Jingzhen didn't know if he was stupid or if he was confident enough to ensure that he could come back to fight again.
He hoped to be the former, but every decision his grandson made told him that he belonged to the latter.
Lu Zhengye left with his men.
As Lu Jing watched his figure disappear from sight, his back slumped.
He murmured, "If only Jiwen had married Gu Wanxing back then."
Lu Zhengye led his men directly to the dock.
A huge ship was already waiting there.
Wei Qing couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are we really going to give up such a good opportunity?"
He knew better than anyone how much effort and suffering Lu Zhengye had put in for this day, and he didn't want Lin Yusheng to die either, but in his heart, Lu Zhengye's plan was more important.
But Wei Qing also knew that he was not Lu Zhengye, and he could not use his feelings to measure Lu Zhengye's decision, much less make the decision for him.
Lu Zhengye did not take anything from Lucheng.
As the giant ship sailed on the sea, Lu Zhengye made a phone call to Yan Wuyong.
"The TL branch in Lucheng is now in your hands."
When Lu Zhengye said those words, Yan Wuyong knew he had lost the battle.
Although he didn't know why, he believed that Lu Zhengye would come back.
So he only said one sentence, "Five years. Under the suppression of the Lu family, I can only last five years at most."
"If you don't come back in five years, my Yan family will be finished."
Lu Zhengye pursed his lips. "If I can still live, five years is enough."
The two of them tacitly stopped talking.
The call ended.
Lu Zhengye threw his phone directly into the sea.
Wei Qing hesitated several times before finally letting out a sigh.
*
The dilapidated fishing boat sailed at sea for three days and three nights.
Lin Yusheng woke up once during the journey.
The foul smell in the environment and the churning of the sea made her feel nauseous.
Before she even opened her eyes, she heard a lot of frivolous remarks.
"My goodness, this young lady is so beautiful."
"She's not just beautiful, look at her clothes, she must be a young lady from a wealthy family in a big city."
"Of course! This is the first time in my life that I, a rough man, have seen such a hot girl."
"Hehe, what's the use of being beautiful? Once you go to that place, you'll only become a man's plaything."
"She looks so fair and delicate, how many men do you think she can handle?"
"It's hard to say, those people looked more like hungry wolves than we did."
"But wasn't there a war going on there for the past few years? Now it's peaceful, isn't it?"
...
The last few men were driven away by a woman's voice.
"This is the man Master Cao wants. Don't you dare have any bad ideas. Get out of here."
The men left, cursing and swearing.
