Chapter 403 The one I loved didn't die—the one I hated can't possibly die.
Lu Mingye steeled himself and walked to Lu Wangshen's side, then knelt down on one knee and looked up at him.
"I know you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Wangshen reached out and grabbed his tie, pulling him over.
At this moment, Lu Wangshen unleashed an unimaginable force. Most people would never imagine that someone in a wheelchair could have such strength. Lu Mingye was not small either, yet he was lifted up by Lu Wangshen with one hand.
Lu Wangshen pulled open his collar and bit him hard on the side of his neck.
Then he pushed Lu Mingye aside, looking at his masterpiece with great admiration, patted his collar, and laughed, "You're welcome."
"..." Lu Mingye was clearly in great pain, but he didn't make a sound. He just covered his wound and glared at Lu Wangshen.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm just fueling your scandal."
Lu Wangshen shrugged without any remorse, "After all, she's been in the same room with you for so long... No one should suspect that this was my doing, right?"
He was quite certain that he hadn't been discovered by Lu Wangqian's men when he came over. Even if Ye Sanqing wanted to come and take him back later, he could decide when to come back himself.
Lu Mingye not only had a neck pain, but also a severe headache.
He wondered how Lu Wangshen could be so easy to talk to, coming right away. Turns out he was waiting for him here.
"Hiss..." He gasped for breath before saying, "You don't have to be so cruel. Look at these marks of flirting, aren't they? Are you taking this opportunity to get revenge?"
"My online casino is about to go out of business, so what if I bite you back?"
Lu Wangshen smiled innocently at him, with a little blood even on the tip of his teeth.
"She really should see you. How can you not be crazy now? Young and reckless... Pah!"
Lu Mingye was very dissatisfied, but now was not the time to break ties with Lu Wangshen.
Moreover, the fact that the other party figured out the casino matter so quickly suggests that they were already prepared when they said "to give everything" earlier.
After all, Lu Wangshen probably understood the various interests and conflicts within the Lu family even better than he did.
Since Ye Sanqing was able to cooperate with Lu Mingye, the starting point must have been the casino.
He originally planned to talk to Lu Wangshen later.
Lu Wangshen does indeed own an online casino. He hasn't been idle for years, even though he doesn't go out much; his expertise lies in computers…
In fact, the reason why Lu Wangqian was unable to actually take action against him was precisely because he had this online business.
This business may seem insignificant, but the income is quite substantial. It was through this that Lu Wangshen gained a foothold in the Lu family.
...It's a bit of a hellish joke, but that's how it is.
This business actually has little to do with physical casinos; it's basically a purely online business targeting overseas markets.
Lu Mingye originally thought that if he really didn't want to, he could hand over the physical part first, at least as a pledge of loyalty.
Lu Wangshen certainly had ways to distance himself from the situation, but the question was, why did he make such a decisive decision? Even if abandoning the illegal business was inevitable, why did he do it now?
"All in." Lu Wangshen didn't bother to explain, and just smiled casually.
If Lu Mingye can't even figure this out, then he'd rather abandon Lu Mingye and cooperate directly with Ye Sanqing.
Online casinos? That stuff is so outdated. He's made countless times more money trading cryptocurrencies.
If it weren't for maintaining his position in the Lu family, he wouldn't have needed to protect it at all.
But not many people knew about this. Apart from Lu Mingye, only the old master and the third concubine knew.
Even Lu Dingzuo didn't know... that even though Lu Wangshen was cooperating with Lu Mingye, he didn't think much of the other party's father.
Lu Wangshen needed to maintain a balance between "just a kept good" and "somewhat useful and not really a good good," and he put in a lot of effort.
Therefore, he could certainly take the opportunity to shift the blame onto the sixth concubine and the others, and escape unscathed.
Neither the old master nor the third concubine would blame him; they might even think he was genuinely helping Lu Mingye pursue Ye Sanqing.
In addition to Ye Sanqing... Lu Wangshen had reason to believe that if he hadn't shown a decisive attitude from the start, there would have been no follow-up.
With such a perfect opportunity, when else would you act?
Even without this, he still has plenty of ways to make money, and... now that Lu Wangqian is back, the struggle is out in the open, so he probably doesn't need to keep up the act anymore.
Lu Mingye had roughly figured it out by now.
"Thank you." Although reluctant, he still said to Lu Wangshen.
With Lu Wangshen's consent obtained, things became much easier. He no longer needed the sixth concubine's consent to hand over the list of people involved in the casino.
"If you really want to thank me, come over and let me..."
Lu Wangshen didn't continue, looking at the other person with amusement.
"Okay, okay, I'll send you a few people to play with. Or... the basement's going to be lively tonight, I'll come down with you later?"
Lu Mingye knew that the other party had some rather strange quirks, but he didn't really want to know the details... so he prepared to brush it off.
"Okay, I'll take the style from Fu Sizhou, thank you."
Lu Wangshen was clearly not going to let him off so easily, and spoke loudly as if ordering food.
"...If you're so capable, go and say it to him."
Lu Mingye knew he was talking nonsense and wasn't going to waste any more time with him, so he walked out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fu Sizhou standing in front of him.
Lu Wangshen did this on purpose, didn't he?!
What do you want to say to me?
Fu Sizhou's first glance was at his neck, then he glanced around the room, and finally looked at Ye Sanqing leaning against the corridor railing.
Ye Sanqing also noticed the fresh wound on Lu Mingye's neck.
She thought to herself, "As expected, Lu Wangshen is crazy."
Then she shrugged at Fu Sizhou.
Fu Sizhou clearly didn't believe Ye Sanqing was responsible, but his eyesight wasn't exactly sharp either, even though his expression was rather mild...
"You need something from me?" Lu Mingye didn't intend to answer his question and asked directly.
"No, I just came to borrow your lounge. I didn't expect you to be here."
Fu Sizhou said, and seemed to genuinely not care about the two of them, as he was about to push the door open and go inside.
"..."
Lu Mingye really thought he would fight with Lu Wangshen.
The main problem is that Lu Wangshen is truly insane and never knows how to control his tongue, and Fu Sizhou may not necessarily show him any mercy.
If these two mad dogs bite each other, won't there be fur everywhere?
But it's difficult for him to stop it now!
He looked at Ye Sanqing, who suddenly started humming a song.
"The one I loved didn't die, and the one I hated can't possibly die."
You sang the wrong lyrics!
But why does it sound even more tragic?
Lu Mingye was so busy that he didn't know how to complain.
However, it was precisely because Ye Sanqing suddenly started humming that Fu Sizhou stopped in his tracks and said to Ye Sanqing, "Speaking of which, Ye Wanyin left you a gift."
He didn't come out to see Lu Mingye, but to see Ye Sanqing. He had just seen Wu Yin accompany Ye Sanqing as they left.
Fu Sizhou was extremely familiar with the Lu family. After waiting for a while and not seeing anyone return, he came over on his own.
I never expected to see Lu Wangshen go crazy...
It's been a long time since I've seen it, and I miss it a little.
"Oh, there's a gift? Then I have to go open it."
Ye Sanqing didn't know what he was talking about, but judging from his eyes... it was very likely that Ye Wanyin was showing off some low-level trick again.
"You...?" Ye Sanqing asked Lu Mingye.
What is Lu Mingye spacing out about? Is the time limit she gave him very generous?
Moreover, if he doesn't keep up, the wound will lose its effectiveness, which would be a waste of effort.
Since Ye Sanqing had already called him, Lu Mingye could only whisper to Fu Sizhou, "Don't be impulsive," and then left with Ye Sanqing.
