Chapter 131 Better insul (1/2)

The atmosphere reached the maximum suppression level as Ethan Lu's lively aura changed into a pressing one.

How many years has it been when this young master had been like this? Ahh… it was when he fought for his freedom and caused a huge ruckus inside the Lu family. Even Edward Lu at that time didn't have the choice but to tolerate his demands because Ethan would go so far as to destroy the whole clan. Some of them gulped a mouthful of saliva seeing him like this and retain their silence.

However, some of the men present that only heard about it and didn't heed it any mind as they thought it was only one of his tantrums. Moreover, they wouldn't believe the rumors about Ethan Lu's terrifying side as he always displayed his carefree side.

But now, before their eyes and ears, Ethan Lu's heavy words and intimidating demeanor made them subconsciously shut their mouth and looked down on the folder laid in front of them.

”The folders in front of everyone contains information of the land; its history, all the previous owners, and every business establishment that went bankrupt. I must say though, it was harder than I thought to obtain this information… it's as if someone deliberately concealed this fact.” An unreadable glint flashed across Ethan Lu's tantalizing eyes as he scanned everyone's reaction while he firmly uttered his words.

Seeing that one after another begun checking the folder with a dismayed expression and their brows knitted as they flip each page, Ethan Lu returned his gaze across him. ”Care to explain, Director Dennis Lu?”

Dennis Lu's expression slightly changed upon hearing his nephew's last remarks yet, after a second, his shoulder relaxed and his balled fist loosened. Fixing his crafty gaze to Ethan Lu's sharp eyes, he sneered.

”Explain? Ethan… I don't know who's your informant and how you obtain this ambiguous information. I did my own digging and I was certain that the land was clear from this scandalous history.” Dennis Lu then turned his head towards the head seat on his right where Chairman Edward Lu, his father perched. He added,

”Master, I don't mind if I have to take responsibility for my negligence but, I request a thorough investigation of this new information. It was suspicious that these things had been overlooked.” Dennis Lu firmly uttered in one go before casting Ethan Lu a brief taunting glance.

Edward Lu remained silent for quite some time as he gave everyone some time to skim through the documents. He too pretended to look at the documents that Ethan sent a month ago. He already knew about it and conducted his own investigation. However, despite knowing the authenticity of the evidence, he wanted Ethan to handle it himself to prove himself to these people.

After all, this discussion wouldn't take this long if not for the fact that Edward Lu was purposely stalling time before his grandson's arrival from his soul searching.

”I want to hear everyone's opinion about this serious matter.” Finally, Edward Lu broke his silence after two minutes of quietness.

”Master, I agree with Director Dennis. We still need to conduct a thorough investigation of the information's credibility.” One of the core members of Lu Corporation cleared his throat and spoke his honest opinion.

”Huh? Why do we need to waste more resources? Are you saying that they might be falsified? Why would our young master do that?” Harold Lu, one of Ethan's supporters chimed in as he closed the document in front of him.

”Waste resources? Director Harold Lu, aren't you being a bit careless with your statement? Director Dennis had his fair share for the development of our company and I believe that he certainly did his background check before pushing this project but... how come that this information was overlooked? I don't understand why would Director Dennis purposely sabotaging our company after working hard all these years. So, I could not help but think what if someone tried to conceal this information to frame him?” Another elder among the men around the long table shared his opinion.

”What are you insinuating, Director Bai? Are you saying that our young master Lu was trying to frame Director Dennis?” Gerald Huang, one of Ethan's favorite Uncle agitatedly sassed as he didn't appreciate the ambiguous insinuation of the man named Eric Bai.

Soon, each and everyone spouted their own opinions which caused another tension among them. Some sided with Ethan, others with Dennis Lu while the rest remained neutral. It was as if this scene also revealed whose side these men would pick as the next headmaster of the family.
