The angry voice of Lu He was directed at his wife inside the living room.
His only son had died. Of course he was upset too.
The pain he was suffering inside was no less than anyone else in this room right now.
But Lu He wasn't someone who didn't care about the facts and just blindly stood on his family's side.
Otherwise, even with the protection of the Lu family, he wouldn't have risen to such a high position today either.
So Lu He decided that it was best to find out exactly what happened to his son before making any decision.
He knew his son only too well.
This boy had been spoilt rotten by his mother and his grandfather.
When he was in Yanjing, he had gone around doing all sorts of wicked things and he had committed so many crimes.
If the Lu family weren't this powerful in Yanjing, this boy would have been killed by someone else long ago.
And just like what Lu He said earlier, if Lu Ming-Feng turned out to be the one at fault after a thorough investigation had been conducted, then this rebellious young man definitely deserved to be killed.
Lu He wasn't going to throw the reputation of his family down the drain over a useless and rebellious son like that.
"Get out right now!"
His wife didn't dare to say anything anymore after Lu He shouted so angrily at her.
She just collapsed on the floor as she hugged her son's dead body and couldn't stop crying.
Nobody else in the living room dared to say anything either.
Who would dare to go against the authority of the head of the Lu family?
"Lu He, how dare you do such a thing! Do you think you are very great now? You think you can hit your wife now?! Even the rich and powerful remember their devoted wives! But you? Have you forgotten how much Ying has done for the Lu family just because you have attained some achievement?” A low and furious voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Old Master Lu came walking in with large strides.
"Dad, why are you here? Didn't I get the servants to bring you back to your room to rest?"
The old man had nearly fainted in shock from seeing his grandson's dead body earlier.
So Lu He got the servants to bring the old man back to his room to rest so as not to affect his health.
But after resting for a few minutes, the old man came back to the living room again.
"If I didn't come back now, then my grandson would have died for nothing! Even a ferocious tiger would not bring harm to its child! Your son has been killed and you remain unmoved? Worse still, you even become violent towards your wife? Am I dead to you? Did you think that you could just do whatever you wanted?"
"Number two! Number three! Listen to your sister-in-law's instructions and go ahead and get that Jiangdong gangster! Round them up and bring them to Yanjing! I'm going to ask him where he found the guts to actually dare to kill a grandson of mine!" declared Old Master Lu in a deep voice.
"Dad, she doesn't have much foresight and it's not surprising that she's spouting her mouth off. But why are you also..." Lu He looked at his father and asked him in a bitter tone after hearing what he said.
"Spouting her mouth off? A life for a life! There is nothing wrong with making that man pay for Ming-Feng's life! My grandson has been killed and I'm going to arrest his killer! Is there something wrong with that?" retorted Old Master Lu with a cold look in his eyes.
The only one in the entire family who dared to reprimand Lu He like this was Lu Cang-Qiong.
