Things happened faster than Chu Yu imagined.

Lu Shaochu had been taken away to cooperate with an investigation, and more than a week later, the Fang family had an accident.

A reporter photographed a police car parked in front of the Fang Heng Group entrance, in which the Fang clan owned a number of shares.

As soon as the news came out, rumors sprang up everywhere.

Some say that the executives of Fang Heng Group were taken away for investigation on suspicion of taking advantage of their positions for personal gain.
Some also said that the group was suspected of tax evasion.
Others said that it was about Fang Weiyun’s murder, and the accomplices were being arrested this time.

However, not the slightest of movement was seen in Fang Heng’s public relations department.

Perhaps the event was too sudden for them to react in time.
It was also possible that the Fang family was about to change hands, and everyone was watching from the sidelines.

It was the afternoon class and the English teacher was teaching grammar while cicadas chirped outside the window.
Few people could persist as most of them were dozing off, especially those in the back row of the classroom who’d already fallen asleep early on.

Chu Yu had his mobile phone under the pages of a book, searching for relevant news.
But even after reading all the content reported by major media channels, he didn’t see any picture of Fang Weishan being taken away.
There were only rumors about Fang Weishan already undergoing trial.

Just when Chu Yu was about to stuff his phone into the table, his newsreader suddenly released a notification.

Seeing the line of words clearly, Chu Yu’s pupils shrank, his grip loosened and the phone fell to the ground with a ‘ba-ta’ in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, the English teacher was playing a recorded reading so the falling sound went unnoticed.

Chu Yu picked up the phone, clicked on the news, and confirmed that his eyes hadn’t failed him yet.

It was indeed written in the news that Lu Zhaohe was seriously ill and had been admitted to the hospital.
The stock prices of the Lu clan’s group were in a volatile state.

However, when he searched again, he found that the Lu clan’s news department had already refuted the rumors, saying Lu Zhaohe was in good health and had not been hospitalized.
They said the previous news was merely the media’s groundless hearsay to attract attention.

Chu Yu handed his phone to Lu Shi.

The two looked at each other and surmised that Lu Zhaohe’s hospitalization was 90% true.
The Lu clan’s PR department’s denial was very timely after the news was leaked.
Obviously, there was a contingency plan, mainly to stabilize the stock prices as well as the internal and external situation, and cover up the truth.

The only question now was what this “serious illness” was.

The English teacher had a good sense of timing.
The bell rang just after the assignment was done.

Old Ye came in from the back door and greeted the English teacher from a distance across the rows of desks.
Then, he went to the last row and asked Lu Shi to come to the office.

After taking two steps outside, Old Ye turned around and said to Chu Yu, “Student Chu Yu, come with us too.”

Seeing Lu Shi and Chu Yu being called away together by Old Ye, Dream-Ge rushed to Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua’s desks in haste, yelling anxiously, “Brothers! I have a bad feeling! Could it be that Old Ye noticed Lu-Shen and School Flower’s love affair?”

Li Hua replied, “I don’t think Old Ye would be that keen.”

“That’s right, that makes sense! After all, if School Flower hadn’t told me personally, I might’ve been unaware of it until now.

Dream-Ge touched his chin and calmed down.
“In any case, if it’s really exposed, I’ll testify that Lu Shen and School Flower are really just in a desk mate camaraderie for mutual development!”

After hearing Zhang Yueshan’s opinion, he asked Li Hua, “What’s the idiom for this again?”

Li Hua answered, “There is no silver 300 taels hidden here, or is it putting a lid to highlight the overflow?”

Dream-Ge covered his mouth and spoke with a muffled voice, “Okay, I’ll shut up, I’ll be silent.”

In the office, Old Ye’s malva nut wolfberry tea had been replaced by honeysuckle tea.

Sitting down on the office chair, Old Ye looked at Lu Shi, then at Chu Yu, before finally turning his eyes back to Lu Shi.
“Lu Shi, I asked you to come to the office because I have some news to tell you.”

Lu Shi stood in front of the office table, tall and straight with a distant expression.
The sun was dazzlingly bright outside the window.
Maybe it was a bit hot so he had folded his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his fair, slender forearms.

With his usual respect toward the teacher, he said, “Teacher, please continue.”

Old Ye deliberated on his words.
He paid attention to Lu Shi’s expression as he stated, “Your grandfather is seriously ill and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
Your family has contacted the school and has already asked for leave on your behalf, hoping you can go back home as soon as possible.”

It was not that Old Ye has never dealt with this kind of thing before.
He had been a homeroom teacher for many years, but every time he encountered this kind of situation, it was always difficult for him to tell it straight to the student.

He was very much afraid of the student, who was standing in front of him, bursting into tears.

Lu Shi inquired, “What happened to my grandpa?”

Seeing that Lu Shi’s expression and tone were still stable, Old Ye gained a bit of peace of mind and replied, “He had a stroke.” After speaking, he quickly added, “Although a stroke is a sudden onset of disease, it’s often with sequelae such as hemiplegia.
It will be very inconvenient for an elderly’s future mobility, but as long as they are properly treated, it will definitely not be life-threatening for them!”

Chu Yu glanced at the expression on Lu Shi’s face, and spoke promptly, directing Old Ye’s gaze to himself.
“Teacher, I’m worried about Lu Shi being alone, can I accompany him?”

“Of course!” Old Ye also had the same idea, that was why he called Chu Yu to come to the office with them.

He said with relief, “You have a good relationship.
Teacher will also approve of Student Chu Yu’s leave.
It’s better to have someone to accompany you than to be alone.”

Chu Yu nodded.
“Thank you, Teacher!”

After buying the earliest flight, they went back to the dormitory to briefly pack their things and then took a taxi from the school to the airport.

When the two landed in A City, it was already dark.

Chu Yu was wearing a white coat and light-colored jeans, a very refreshing visual.
He walked beside Lu Shi.
“If Old Ye hadn’t approved my leave, I would’ve climbed over the wall to come with you.
Who knew if Fang Weishan told that old fellow that Lu Shaochu’s matter involves you.”

Thinking about it this way, Chu Yu couldn’t help but imagine the vileness of the rich and powerful, causing him to worry.
“Lu Shi, will that old man prepare any hidden tricks?”

The night wind was no longer cool, but Lu Shi was not at ease so he touched Chu Yu’s hand first to make sure he wasn’t cold before answering, “No.
I’m the only one left in the Lu family now.”

“That’s true.”

Chu Yu has seen many older generations like Lu Zhaohe, who value family fame and inheritance more than anything else.
It was already impossible for Lu Shaochu to be released, so Lu Shi became the sole heir of the Lu family.

In the parking lot, a black Maybach 62S was quietly parked.
Seeing Lu Shi approaching, the driver in uniform and white gloves got out of the car, quickly opened the rear door, and respectfully bowed his head.

The two got in the car.

The driver looked straight ahead, not daring to look back as he reported the situation in a low voice, “Young Master, the old man is in Yangyi Hospital at the moment and has temporarily escaped danger and regained consciousness.
No related news dared to be released to the public, everyone is waiting for your return.
”

Lu Shi grasped Chu Yu’s fingers while his gaze fell on the neon lights that were continuously passing by outside the window.

“Tell me the details.”

His syllables were short and concise.
His emotions couldn’t be heard, but there was a kind of an inviolable implication behind it.

The driver replied cautiously, “After Sir’s accident, the old man kept the news and did not let it leak out.
He had been visiting various places to lobby, trying to rescue Sir, but it didn’t go smoothly and there was no progress.
At the same time, after investigation, it was discovered that all relevant evidence that caused Sir’s accident originated from Fang Weishan’s hand.”

“The old man was swift as thunder in dealing with the opposite side, Fang Weishan.
Fang Weishan responded very quickly.
As soon as he caught wind of it, he came looking for the old man and the two had a fierce dispute.”

“The old man didn’t plan to let Fang Weishan go from the start, so Fang Weishan was taken away by the police once in the house.
You are also aware that the old man has always had high blood pressure.
It was unknown what Fang Weishan said at the time but the old man was emotionally stimulated, causing cerebral hemorrhage and eventually a stroke.
”

Lu Shi stared at the rearview mirror.
“This happened a few days ago?”

The driver dared not look directly at Lu Shi as he replied, “Five days ago.”

“Why are you only telling me now?”

Hearing this sentence, the driver broke out in cold sweat.

It was not that he has never been in contact with Lu Shi.
In fact, when Lu Shi was in junior high school, he often picked him up.

But at that time, this Young Master Lu was gentle and polite.
He didn’t talk much, but it made people feel that he was easy to get along with.

However now, although it was still the same person, his aura, expressions, and gaze evoked a sense of fright.

The driver’s voice became weaker by two points.
“Before the old man fell into a coma, he repeatedly told Zhang Tezhu that his illness couldn’t be revealed to anyone.
However, the old man’s condition was too critical and no one could afford the responsibility.”

That was why Lu Shi was contacted in spite of Lu Zhaohe’s instructions.

“Understood.”

Lu Shi’s expression didn’t change, he just said, “It was a sudden matter, all of you have worked hard.”

Hearing the manner in which the last phrase “worked hard” was spoken, the driver was relieved to know that Lu Shi would not pursue the issue of concealment again.

Lu Shi tapped the car seat with his fingers.

The driver nodded and quickly raised the partition in the car.

With the partition raised, the rear seat of the car became a secluded and spacious private space.

Chu Yu thought Lu Shi had something private to say, but as soon as he turned to look, he was kissed heavily by Lu Shi.

Lu Shi’s breathing was rapid, and the fingers and knuckles holding Chu Yu’s wrist were exerting force.
During the kiss, Chu Yu could sense that Lu Shi was emotionally unstable.

It was similar to learning the whole picture of what happened back then and Lu Shi going to the fighting arena to vent his suppressed emotions through the most primitive of violence.

In that way, when he met Fang Weishan, he was able to keep calm and maintain self-control, dealing with it rationally.

And now, Lu Shi was about to face Lu Zhaohe.

Chu Yu realized that Lu Shi was seeking support from him.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu lifted his hands, pressed his palms on Lu Shi’s distinct shoulder blades and spine, raised his neck slightly, and opened his lips and teeth to receive Lu Shi’s fierce and wanton intrusion.

Perceiving Chu Yu’s response, Lu Shi opened his eyes half-way, stared at Chu Yu’s thick and softly quivering eyelashes before kissing deeper.
