Chapter 917 - Where’s Xiaohua? (1/2)

“If I didn’t have this identity, if I didn’t have this power, if I didn’t have this authority; Mr. Xia, may I know what would you do to my daughter?”

Xia Mingzheng wanted to open his mouth but was interrupted by Lu Ke’en. Who was Lu Ke’en? He was an important personnel of the military that had retired and came out from the bullet rain. His entire person was intimidating and was not someone that a businessman like Xia Mingzheng could compare with.

It was like a military general going against a gigolo.

Definitely, he would be killed within seconds.

At this moment, he slightly squinted his eyes and murderous intent could be seen. “If you’re talking about bullying people with your authority, Mr. Xia, you shouldn’t talk about it. Anyone in the world can say this, but Mr. Xia, you don’t have the right to.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Xia Mingzheng’s years of patience was on the verge of breaking down.

“We’re all understanding people so, Mr. Xia, don’t be ridiculous.” Lu Ke’en’s gaze swept past Shen Yijun. “I remember that Mr. Xia has a stepdaughter, and did you really treat her like your own? Did you not bully her with your power? Your own daughter is a daughter, but other people’s one is trash. You know what you did yourself.”

Instantly, Xia Mingzheng’s face darkened. The three words that could never be mentioned in his life was ‘Xia Ruoxin’. These three words were his shameful nightmare.

The extent of Xia Yixuan’s unbecomingness was the extent of his humiliation. Unknowingly, his gaze landed on Shen Yijun; and he immediately wanted to dig a hole and hide himself.

Lu Ke’en smiled coldly. “Mr. Xia, you have been bullying other people’s children all the way till she became an adult. Even you know how to protect your biological daughter, why can’t I protect mine?”

“You’re unreasonable.” Xia Mingzheng was exasperated. Who would act in this manner? They were clearly in the wrong, but they did not look like it at all. Was an apology really that hard?

“I’m just that unreasonable. So what?” Lu Ke’en glanced at Xia Mingzheng coldly from the corner of his eye. “Your daughter hasn’t died. Even if she did, I will never let my daughter pay for your daughter’s life.”

Xia Mingzheng almost exploded. When he was about to say something else, a pair of hands held him back.

It was Shen Yijun.

“Let’s go,” she said lightly and looked at Lu Ke’en.

“Mr. Lu, please forgive a father’s worry, but the Lu family has to give us an explanation for this incident, right?”

Lu Ke’en grunted. “You should have talked like this earlier. You came here and hollered at me non-stop. Do you think I was brought up frightened?”

Lu Ke’en was the type to accept one’s thoughts when they talked nicely and not rudely. If one was rude to him, he would definitely slice him apart. However, if one talked nicely to him and was nice, he would not be unreasonable. Just like in the past when Lu Jinrong fought with someone and beat him up, he said that his son had bullied someone else. Of course, he would send someone over and clean up his son’s mess. However, if Lu Jinrong had lost the fight, he would be beaten up at home, too. The logic was that Lu Ke’en’s child could not be a walkover.

Today, Xia Mingzheng pointed at him and yelled at him without even explaining why. This was a comparison of who had a larger voice and who had more authority. Lu Ke’en was not as fancy and filled with tricks like businessmen.

Things must always be made clear—the person at fault would bear the blame; if it was his daughter’s fault, he would take the blame.
