Lu Shifan was young and didn't have many feelings. He clapped his hands happily and said, "Great! I miss my grandma too. I want to eat dumplings too."
Aunt Xu, who had been waiting at the kitchen door for a long time, finally had a chance to speak, "Sir plays the piano so well, even I, a rough person, find it incredibly beautiful."
Lu Zhengye nodded at her.
Aunt Xu then went back to cooking.
Lu Shifan went to watch cartoons.
Lin Yusheng then asked Lu Zhengye, "Why didn't you accept Zhang Yuanhe's offer to take you as his apprentice?"
"Because on the island of the dead, no matter how well you play the zither, you can't save your life."
Lu Zhengye said, "Would you like to hear about my relationship with Teacher Zhang?"
"certainly."
Lin Yusheng wanted to know everything about Lu Zhengye, whether it was painful or happy.
Lu Zhengye said that when he was young, he was forced to go to the racetrack and fight against others for a chance to survive.
It was Zhang Yuanhe who took him away from that kind of world.
Zhang Yuanhe plays the piano very well, but he is not respected there because of it. Those powerful and influential people just want to learn from outsiders and enjoy the influence of music.
They simply didn't understand the piano at all, and would even beat Zhang Yuanhe until he was covered in injuries at the slightest disagreement.
But Zhang Yuanhe wouldn't give up easily back then, because he supported many people with his meager income.
This includes his student Jiang Yanqi, and Lu Zhengye, whom he had recently rescued.
Zhang Yuanhe did indeed quickly discover Lu Zhengye's piano talent, but Lu Zhengye also made it clear that he would not touch the piano with his hands for a long time, because the hands that play the piano cannot protect himself or the people around him.
He wanted to take up a gun, to carve out his own territory, and to ensure that no one around him would dare to bully him.
Zhang Yuanhe knew his thoughts and expressed his understanding.
Although he felt it was a pity, he would not offer any advice, because he knew that on the island of the Dead Slave, only force could solve everything.
Lu Zhengye said, "The first time I killed many people with a gun, I couldn't sleep all night. I felt like I was going to become a demon, and all I could see was blood red."
"But suddenly, I heard very beautiful piano music. The piano music kept me company all night and helped me get through that most difficult night. From then on, he often taught me to play the piano to calm my mind."
"So, Sheng Sheng, Teacher Zhang is like my father to me. He is really good. Without his kindness, I would probably be a completely different person now."
Lin Yusheng looked heartbroken. She had witnessed Lu Zhengye's past when she was tied up on the Island of the Dead.
Those horrific and absurd scenes cannot be expressed in words.
Lin Yusheng said, "No wonder you hate Jiang Yanqi so much."
"If it weren't for Teacher Zhang's dying words, she should have disappeared from this world long after I left the island of the dead."
"Ah Ye, Wangnu Island is Wangnu Island, and Country A is Country A. You must stay calm. Just think of it as something for me and Fanfan," Lin Yusheng said with red eyes.
The memory of Bai Ning's actions is still vivid. That silly girl was willing to die together with her enemy in order to get revenge.
She wouldn't allow Lu Zhengye to do the same; she truly couldn't bear the thought of separation by death.
Lu Zhengye realized he had frightened Lin Yusheng and quickly said, "I know, I won't. I've thought it through. Revenge doesn't have to be their deaths. Besides, with you and Fanfan here, I'll put you first in everything I do."
Lin Yusheng was finally relieved.
Lu Zhengye said that there was a business banquet in two days that required Lin Yusheng to attend with him.
This was the first time the couple had attended such an event since their marriage, and Lin Yusheng was inexplicably looking forward to it.

The underground casino was bustling with noise, and the smell of alcohol and sweat was nauseating.
Wen Nian forced himself to sit on the sofa, smoking, his eyes filled with indifference.
A shirtless man, with a woman on each side, staggered over.
"Brother Wen Nian, aren't you going to play? Don't want to gamble? How about I give you a beautiful lady?"
Wen Nian, with a cold expression, dissuaded the naked woman who wanted to approach him.
The woman returned to the man's side, feeling wronged.
The man's name was Lu Feng. He was a regular at this casino and one of the leaders of an underground organization in Lucheng.
Lu Feng sat down on another sofa, looked at Wen Nian and asked, "Brother Wen Nian, isn't your life a bit too bland?"
Wen Nian chuckled and said in a roguish tone, "Women, I only play with the clean ones."
Lu Feng laughed heartily and said, "I understand."
"Today, I have some good news for you."
Wen Nian's relaxed expression turned serious, and he asked, "What?"
In order to obtain underground information without alerting the enemy, he lied and claimed to have a grudge against Lu Zhengye.
So the news that Lu Feng brought is most likely related to his brother.
Wen had saved Lu Feng's life a few days ago, and he felt that this young man was obviously not a good citizen, so he became friends with him and didn't bother to be on guard, since it wasn't a big deal anyway.
“Someone on the black market is offering 200 million to kill Lu Zhengye. You don’t even need to lift a finger; plenty of people are going to take his life.”
Wen Nian's eyes suddenly turned cold as he asked, "When did this happen?"
Lu Feng: "What's your reaction? Shouldn't you be happy?"
"I'm asking you, when did this happen?" Wen Nian's eyes flashed with a ruthless coldness as she looked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng didn't think much of it; it was normal for people like them to have a few lives on their hands.
"Just two hours ago."
Wen Nian pondered for a moment. These people in the black market were all fearless; they would do anything for money, let alone a whole two hundred million.
Two hundred million? Who else but the Lu family could be so generous?
Two hours have passed, and I reckon there are a lot of assassins surrounding me now.
Wen Nian stood up with a gloomy expression.
Lu Feng asked, "Where are you going?"
"Something came up." Wen Nian said this and turned to leave.
A woman next to Lu Feng said sweetly, "Brother Lu, is this your new friend? He's quite handsome, but his temper is really bad. He's nothing like you."
“That’s right, Brother Lu really knows how to take care of people,” another woman said sweetly.
Lu Feng smiled and said meaningfully, "Don't let his youthful appearance fool you, he has more blood on his hands than I do."
Both women were startled and found it hard to believe. "Really? Brother Lu, you're not kidding us, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? If I didn't admire you, why would I care so much about someone I've only known for a short time?"
...
After Wen Nian left, he found Lu Zhengye's location online.
It's no secret that Lu Zhengye is attending a business banquet with his wife tonight.
Therefore, Wen Nian was able to easily obtain this information, as were other desperate criminals.
