Chapter 741 - Ming Zhi Yi Vs. Legendary Families (III) (1/2)

The man who spoke seemed to have the tongue of a prophet. In a few days, just right after the minor families were purged by the legendary families, several consecutive scandals were released in the news internationally.

The headquarters of the Lu Empire was in chaos.

Old Lu gathered all of the members of the board to face the current matters at hand. Lu Yin Ze insisted on coming. This was a huge setback in the empire. He needed to be present.

The conference room was lively.

”Headmaster, is it true that the branch in the North had done those dealings before?!”

”Headmaster, the overseas business was seized by the country's government. The whistleblower had a full list of evidence!”

”Headmaster, we received huge blows everywhere! The spies have clearly done all these!”

The cries and panicked remarks of the directors filled the whole room.

Lu Yin Ze had a grim face. He wanted these people to shut up and give his grandfather a breather. They all dared to complain to his grandfather, when all these mistakes were done under their watch. How come the spies got into the empire so easily? It was because these people were too lax.

Old Lu had a cold face. His ears were ringing by the whining of these people.

With annoyance, he hit his cane loudly on the table.

Bam!

Hushed.

The people in the room unconsciously shut their mouths.

Old Lu: ”You are like children whining that your toys got taken away.”

”...Headmaster, the blow we received from those spies are not little. The whole empire is in danger! The government will come for us and seize everything under the name of investigation!”

”If the empire is not able to escape this predicament, we will suffer a huge loss. Not to say, we do not know for how long they will hold us back!”

Another director also could not hold on anymore and spoke of his concern. ”If this continues, it will be hard for us to get back on our feet! The Lu family's prestige and our Lu Empire will fall to the bottom!”

The situation that the Lu Empire was having right now was the same as when the Guan family faced the traitorous actions of Gunan.

The blow that the Lu Empire received from the actions of the corporate spies was too great. Since many of their ȧssets have to be surrendered under the investigation. The business has to stop too for who knows how long.

Old Lu was filled with cold killing intent.

Ming Zhi Yi was really too capable. He had already expected that there were spies among his people. He had managed to get a few of them in the past weeks, but there were still the others who hid too deeply. And their positions must be quite high, too.

Old Lu felt his head ache. His heart was heavy.

Those people....

The spies who had caused this blow were all once hard-working and long-time employees that he trusted.

How come… that man easily bought them!

Old Lu looked at the panicked faces of the directors and shareholders at this table.

Now, he still did not know if there were more of Ming Zhi Yi's people among them.

Old Lu held his aching head.

His dear grandson's position was not stable yet. If there were Ming Zhi Yi's henchmen in this table and they supported Lu Jin to become the successor, then this Lu Empire was truly done for.

”Grandpa...” Lu Yin Ze saw that his grandfather was holding his head. His grandfather must be having a headache right now.

Lu Yin Ze helped him sit down. ”Grandpa, you are still not feeling well. Please return to the mansion and rest. I will handle the rest.”

Old Lu shook his head.

The Lu family had gone through many chaotic times. Ming Zhi Yi, that bastard, would not be able to bring them down with just something like this.

”No. I need to be here. Or else, these people will find fault instead.”

Lu Yin Ze's silver-blue eyes were filled with worries. He wished that he could explain to his grandfather right now that having these consecutive setbacks was necessary.

Yet, the Lu Empire was filled with spies. Lu Yin Ze was forbidden from saying any of the plans to his grandfather for fear of the spies overhearing them. And since this process was a part of their plan too.

This painful procedure that they were facing right now was part of their grand plots to counter Ming Zhi Yi.
