Chapter 133 (1/2)

The poll on the Danube forum was mostly a joke. Although Evra was honored with the second place of “the conductor with the worst temper” category, when people spoke about the maestro in private, they said——

“Mr. Evra is a very honest and upright conductor. Unlike his free and unrestrained music style, he is a very serious person.”

Once he began to have suspicions, regardless of probability, he took the investigation seriously. And from this investigation… A lot of things came to light.

Before starting the investigation, Evra didn’t realize that so many members of the orchestra disliked Luo Yu Sen. Very few of them communicated with him, some going so far as to purposefully exclude him, right under Evra’s nose.

When the maestro asked Jacques about it, the man sneered and said, “Mr. Evra, none of us think Luo Yu Sen is a man of virtue. Personally, I didn’t like Lu Zi Wen much, but I was sad when he died. As I said before, are there so many coincidences in this world? The police might believe it, but we all couldn’t quite convince ourselves that it had nothing to do with Luo Yu Sen.”

Although Evra also had his doubts on Lu Zi Wen’s death, what puzzled him was that no matter how he tried, he still couldn’t figure out——

Who in the world bailed Luo Yu Sen out when he was in custody.

At first, he thought Luo Yu Sen was only called in for questioning. But when he heard that the man was taken into custody as a suspect, he knew one thing for sure. With Luo Yu Sen’s ability, it wouldn’t be that easy for him to clear the suspicion.

However, not even Evra could figure out who stood behind Luo Yu Sen.

When the Vienna Symphony Orchestra was about to start their tour, Evra called Luo Yu Sen to his lounge and gave him a thick contract.

At first, Luo Yu Sen was happy when he saw the neatly bound document, wondering if he would get a promotion.

However… When he saw the contents, Luo Yu Sen’s handsome face grew pale. In disbelief, he shouted, “No! Mr. Evra, what have I done wrong? Why do you want to dismiss me?!!!”

Evra answered coldly, “Luo, there are some things that I won’t spell it out. But on the reason for your dismissal. I wrote that your skills aren’t keeping up with those of our orchestra. Your contract with the orchestra should last for another year, so I’ll pay for the liquidated damages with my own money. You don’t have to come tomorrow.”

Luo Yu Sen couldn’t accept such a simple reason. “Mr. Evra! Even if I’m not suited for my current position, that doesn’t mean I should be dismissed like this! I did nothing wrong, why should you dismiss me?! I don’t agree, I’ll file a complaint at the orchestra’s members meeting!!!”

Evra sneered at this, he didn’t want to spare any effort for the hypocrite. “Luo Yu Sen, you’ve been in the orchestra for six years, so I won’t humiliate you. I’ll tell you something, you’d better not dream of doing anything in Vienna again… No, as long as I’m here in the world of classical music, there will be no place for someone as dirty as you!”

Evra’s tone was flat, but his words turned Luo Yu Sen pale. A bad premonition rose in his mind but he put it aside.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Lou Yu Sen stammered.

Smiling mercilessly, the maestro said, “Luo Yu Sen, if not for the fact that there’s no evidence… Do you still think I’ll let you stand here freely? I’m afraid you don’t know what kind of ending that deputy concertmaster of New York Philharmonic had thirty years ago, but I can tell you his current situation…”

“Separated from his family, he’s a scorned man!”

Luo Yu Sen stood frozen, unable to say a word.

He already figured out that Evra knew something. When he wanted to explain himself, Evra’s casual threat beat him down.
