872 Third Bro, It’s Me (2/2)
Jin Liwei instructed Ketchup and Bacon to watch over their mother and also to not listen on his conversation with their Uncle Zihao. The two obeyed, although they sounded unhappy. Even the stone-faced Bacon couldn't hide his discontent this time.
The two men left the suite. Jin Liwei took the lead and somehow they ended up in Iris' piano room. This was where they almost brawled the last time they saw each other.
”Interesting choice of room,” Lu Zihao commented.
”It's not for the reason you're thinking.”
Lu Zihao raised an eyebrow.
Jin Liwei stood behind the piano. ”Apparently, this was where I died with our twin babies.”
”What the fuck are you talking about?” Lu Zihao demanded.
When Jin Liwei finished telling him everything, silence descended in the room. Without speaking a word, Lu Zihao headed straight to the newly replaced table and chairs nearby and started wrecking them just like what Jin Liwei did before. However, it was obvious that Lu Zihao was more destructive.
Jin Liwei crossed his arms and watched the man release his fury in the most direct way possible—with his bare fists. He understood what Lu Zihao was feeling. If it wasn't for his injuries still not being fully healed yet and the fact that he had already aggravated them before when he did the same thing that Lu Zihao was doing right now, he would've also wrecked some furniture to release his own fury and the other emotions he was still trying to process from their meeting earlier in the suite.
”Fuck!” Lu Zihao gave one last kick to a pitiful piece of a chair.
”Finished?” Jin Liwei asked.
Lu Zihao grunted.
”I haven't finished reading the full report yet, but I want to ask you some questions first.”
”Ask away.”
Jin Liwei tapped a finger on the piano. ”Are you turning Shadow Winds into another Vetrov organization?”
Lu Zihao released a devilish chuckle but it somehow sounded weak than usual, as if he was exhausted, although he didn't look like it. ”The Vetrov organization was built through the efforts of several generations. An organization of the Vetrovs' calibre can't be built in just a few years. So no, I'm not turning my group into the next Vetrov organization. I would if I could but even for me, something like that is impossible to build in just one lifetime.”
”Then why did you create Shadow Winds?”
Lu Zihao spread both his arms wide and gave a wide, evil smile. ”What else? For revenge, of course!”
”Cut the theatrics, Nikolai.” Jin Liwei was unimpressed. ”To be honest, I don't give a damn about you. But you're now living as Lu Zihao. I can't just allow you to put my fifth brother's body in danger.”
Lu Zihao's expression suddenly changed and became familiar. ”Third Bro, it's me.”
Jin Liwei gasped and felt like he was electrocuted.
