Chapter 690 - Qian (1/2)

Xiong Zhi deliberated.

They would really like to know. They badly wanted to know. This might be a trap that Lu Jin laid out for them. However, any information regarding Ming Zhi Yi was crucial. Who knows, maybe they could find a lead within the trap?

Xiong Zhi glanced at Linfeng and nodded briefly, silently giving her consent.

Linfeng nodded. He turned to Lu Jin.

”Fine, please do tell us. But you better back it up with proof.”

”I understand. I will send the details to you tomorrow, and in return, I hope that you will send the address to me.”

After saying this, Lu Jin stood up and straightened his coat.

Eh? He's leaving just like this?

The expectant Xiong Zhi was a bit disappointed that the man would not tell them now.

However, before she could express her disappointment, Lu Jin spoke.

”Qian.”

Hmm?

Linfeng and Xiong Zhi both looked at him in confusion.

Luu Jin's dark eyes bore a hole through them. ”Before my father became Ming Zhi Yi, his surname was once 'Qian'.”

”....!”

Xiong Zhi's eyes widened while Linfeng straightened up in shock.

Qian…!

For a moment, they could not speak.

Lu Jin took in their shock. The corner of his lips curved faintly. ”As I said, I will send the supporting evidence to you tomorrow.”

Silence.

”Then, I shall take my leave now.”

He left the two dumbfounded people in the room.

Linfeng was the first to recover his wits. He turned to the shocked Xiong Zhi and said gravely, ”I'll go after him.”

He then strode out and left the room before the doors even closed.

”Lu Jin.”

Linfeng managed to stop Lu Jin just as the latter pressed on the buttons.

Lu Jin did not turn back, but his steps halted.

Linfeng walked to a stop. ”What is your true purpose?”

Since Lu Jin confidently assured to give them proof tomorrow, then what he had said earlier was likely not a lie.

But if it was not a lie, then why did Lu Jin give them one of Ming Zhi Yi's greatest secrets?

This kind of secret could be used as a valuable weapon against Ming Zhi Yi. It could be said that Lu Jin had given them Ming Zhi Yi's weakness.

But why?

What was his purpose?

No matter how much Linfeng thought about it, Lu Jin was the right-hand man of Ming Zhi Yi, his own son, and also his direct subordinate.

Why would this person harm his own father?

Or did he actually tell them that information, not to cause harm to his father, but to harm them in a trap?

Linfeng, for the first time, was not able to read a person clearly.

It bothered him.

Lu Jin finally turned to him. The pair of inky black eyes settled on Linfeng.

”I just fulfilled my end of the deal. So you should too. That information is priceless. I believe I have already shown you my sincerity. I hope you can stay true to your honor.”

Ding.

The elevator doors opened. Lu Jin stepped in.
