Chapter 750 - Ming Zhi Yi is getting suspicious (1/2)
….
It had been two days since the police turned over the LJ Club. Many members were caught in the act while playing with drugs. They were arrested and the investigation further deepened.
Many of the club members were supporting Ming Zhi Yi in his frontal attack against the four families. Thus, this problem has greatly affected Ming Zhi Yi's strength in the economic war.
....
Lu Jin's footsteps were calm as he approached Ming Zhi Yi's office.
Mr. Kang, his loyal subordinate, met him midway and stopped him by the door.
”Young Master...”
Lu Jin glanced at Mr. Kang's worried expression. ”It's alright.”
He then pushed the door. A heavy atmosphere immediately greeted him.
Ming Zhi Yi was seated on his luxurious chair with his head supported by his hand.
His usual languid expression was gone. At the moment, his face was devoid of any emotion.
Lu Jin bowed. ”Father, you called for me.”
”Take a seat.'
Lu Jin followed what his father instructed and sat down peacefully.
Ming Zhi Yi watched him carefully. His eyes were like that of a snake observing a mouse.
”For two days, what have you done? Why haven't you buried the matter with the police yet?” Ming Zhi Yi's voice was eerily calm.
”The situation did not allow me to. I pacified the members first and made sure that the transfer of the products and the files was safely done.”
”While doing so, you lost three branches and the rest were seized. Do you think that is considered a proper job?”
Lu Jin bowed his head. ”I apologize.”
Ming Zhi Yi narrowed his eyes. ”You are doing quite a sloppy job lately. Why have you not found the spies yet?”
”There are many people related to this matter. It will take a long time to find them.”
”Then just kill them all. They are all tools anyway.”
Lu Jin was silent. He then spoke. ”But if we kill them all, we will lose all of our dealers.”
”It doesn't matter. We can find new people again. The world is filled with many people like them. I want you to end the investigation with LJ, quickly.”
Lu Jin lowered his eyes. ”Yes, father.”
Silence fell.
Ming Zhi Yi observed his son's expression carefully. He then slowly said, ”I have not yet received any news from our underground organization. I sent new people to investigate. Have you heard any news from Ifel yet?”
”I did not receive any.”
Ming Zhi Yi's eyes were cold. ”This is odd. The matter from the underworld suddenly quietened down and I couldn't contact my people. What do you think happened?”
Lu Jin looked up. He met his father's eyes.
For a moment, he could feel his father's subtle killing intent.
Lu Jin: ”Perhaps… They are still fighting with the opposing faction. Do you want me to go there?”
Ming Zhi Yi was silent. He then waved his hand. ”No. Just focus on the LJ Club. Once my men have the results, I will learn it from them. You can leave now.”
Lu Jin bowed and stood up.
Before he left, Ming Zhi Yi spoke again softly.
”My son, do you know what I hate the most?”
Lu Jin stopped on his steps, but did not answer.
”Betrayal. The people who betray me are looking down on me. Treating me like a fool and pretentiously staying on my side just to get something out of me. I truly, hate, it.”
