Chapter 761 - Lu Jins letter (1/2)
In the Lu family's solemn burial site, a tall man with ŀustrous silver hair was walking slowly. His silver-blue colored eyes were in deep thoughts.
Because of his brother's mysterious call, he could not sleep well in the past nights. In the end, he visited the family's burial site.
He wanted to check if his brother really left something in their mother's mausoleum.
Soon, Lu Yin Ze arrived in front of the entrance of his mother's mausoleum. He entered the well-maintained tomb and looked at his mother's picture. After staring for a while, he bowed respectfully to give his mother a proper greeting.
He then took out his own handkerchief and wiped his mother's portrait.
”Mother, how have you been? The family is… we're doing our best to tide through the storm, despite what's happening..” His eyes became gloomy. ”We lost a lot of properties, and several subsidiaries failed. Our trusted men also suffered, we lost many of them. Grandfather is having a hard time. But we can handle this much, so do not worry too much about us.”
Among the four families, it was the Lu family who suffered the most. Old Lu aged by a lot in the past months. He lost a lot of hair and sported deeper wrinkles due to the pressure that Ming Zhi Yi was exerting.
Whenever Lu Yin Ze saw his grandfather's grim face due to the loss of their subordinates and subsidiary companies to Ming Zhi Yi, he would always look away. He was afraid that he would tell his grandfather the truth.
Xiong Zhi was still working behind Ming Zhi Yi's back. The heads were buying time for them without the heads' knowledge. Once Xiong Zhi gave them the signal, it would be time for Lu Yin Ze to fight alongside his grandfather without holding back.
”Mother, you have to wait a little more. It will be over soon. You will soon get the justice you deserve.”
Lu Yin Ze then took her mother's urn. He wiped it carefully.
”Brother called me a few nights ago. He told me that he visited you.” His hand halted. He looked at his mother's picture. ”Did he? Did he visit you a lot?”
Lu Yin Ze sighed. ”I did not know that my brother still visits the burial site, or that he still has you in his mind.”
A long silence filled the interior of the tomb.
Lu Yin Ze's beautiful face was shadowed by melancholy. He only spoke after a long while.
”He told me that he left something here. May I look for it?”
The wind swayed, gently fluttering Lu Yin Ze's soft silver strands.
Lu Yin Ze walked around, searching the tomb.
His mother's tomb might be spacious, but it only had a few spaces where things could be hidden.
In the end, Lu Yin Ze did not find anything.
He bowed his head.
No. His brother was not a person who would talk nonsense if it did not hold any truth.
Then... Could it be found by a cleaner?
No. The cleaner would report it to the head butler. The head butler would then report it to them.
Then where...
Lu Yin Ze suddenly froze.
His eyes flew towards the last and only place where he had not searched yet.
His mother's urn. He had not looked inside of it yet.
It could not be.
Lu Yin Ze was frozen in place after a long time. Then his eyes became firm.
”Pardon me, mother.”
