A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1103 He Deserves It

At the Lu family estate.

Only the high level family members of the Lu household were left in the room. Everyone else had been dismissed.

Lu Ming-Feng's dead body lay in front of them quietly. The wound on his neck looked terrifying.

"Old Master Lu, the cause of Young Master Lu's death has been confirmed to be that wound on his lower neck. The wound was likely caused by a knife or a similar sharp object, and this caused immediate death," said a man in a white coat to the family with a grim expression after he had checked the body and removed his gloves.

"That's impossible. There are so many bodyguards surrounding Ming-Feng at all times, and because we sent him to Jiangdong, there were also other powerful fighters from the Xur family protecting him in the darkness. Don't tell me that Mr Chu of Jiangdong was able to get past all that and slit Ming-Feng's throat with just one strike?" remarked a middle aged man with a frown after hearing the analysis by the doctor.

"Perhaps Young Master was ambushed and caught unawares?" thought the doctor to himself.

But after he was done checking the body, the Lu family dismissed the doctor as well.

It wasn't suitable for someone outside the family to be privy to the family's discussion after all.

"He, what should we do now? Ming-Feng is dead, and apparently he died at that Mr Chu's hands. Why don't we send someone over to deal with this Mr Chu? Or we could also go through the legal way and arrest Mr Chu for doing this."

Even though Lu Cang-Qiong was the eldest member of the Lu family and was highly respected by the family, he was getting on in age and no longer dabbled in family affairs. The person who was in charge of the family was Lu Ming-Feng's father, Lu He.

Even though Lu He's heart ached badly when he looked upon the corpse of his own son, he did not lose control of his emotions or fly into a rage like the old man did.

He was someone who had remained in a high position in government for many years now, and the cruel competition in politics had already trained him well for such situations.

So even though he was feeling much grief inside over his son's death, Lu He was still able to remain calm and rational.

"We must investigate this matter first. We will decide what to do after we find out what happened exactly. Before that, nobody is allowed to do anything rash! Do not use the power you are holding onto to take revenge. Does everyone understand?" said Lu He grimly to the rest of the family standing before him.

His brothers didn't say anything, but Lu Ming-Feng's mother immediately started wailing, "What's there to investigate? The truth is right in front of us! That Jiangdong gangster killed our son! He deserves to die! You're Ming-Feng's father, but instead of taking revenge now, you want to investigate first and talk about taking action later? You're his father! Don't you feel anything?!"

She held onto her son's lifeless body and cried miserably as she shrieked angrily at Lu He.

Besides Old Master Lu, she was the only one who dared to shout uncontrollably at this very powerful man.

"Ying, go back to the room first. I will settle this. I'll get the maids to bring you back," said Lu He calmly without getting angry.

He could understand the pain she was feeling since he was feeling it too.

But she pushed aside the maids who came forward roughly.

Her eyes were bloodshot and her tears couldn't stop falling. She started screaming at Lu He like a madwoman, "I'm not leaving! For as long as my son is not avenged, I'm not leaving! I don't care! Lu He, you must send orders out for that gangster to be arrested tonight! Not just that Mr Chu! You must arrest his parents, his wife, his children, everyone in his family! Make sure they all perish tonight and accompany my son in the nether world! Make sure they die horribly!"

"Number three, you used to have a post in Jiangdong, so I'm sure you've got connections there. Use your connections to round up all those people and bring them to Yanjing! NOW!" shouted the woman with a voice full of anger and malice.

"Al-alright, I'll go right now." Lu He's third brother didn't dare to go against his eldest sister-in-law. Besides, since his own nephew had been killed, he was obliged to avenge his nephew.

"I don't trust the people in Jiangdong. Number two, you go along too! Get the Yanjing police to cross the border and arrest all these people!"

Lu He's second brother was the police commissioner, so it was more appropriate for him to make an arrest.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that those gangsters are brought to justice tonight!"

The two brothers turned and started walking out as if they were going to take action on Jiangdong immediately.

"Stop right there! How dare you turn a deaf ear to everything I just said?" Lu He barked angrily and his voice carried authority.

The two men who were prepared to even cross the border to make an arrest were rooted to the ground.

Lu He was the one with absolute power in this household after all.

Those two brothers couldn't do much by themselves either. If their eldest brother had not sheltered them all these years, they wouldn't have made it this far in life.

So they didn't dare to go against Lu He at all.

But Ming-Feng is our nephew! As his uncles, you can't expect us to just sit around and do nothing, right?" complained Lu He's third brother.

"We ought to find out what happened first. If the other party is at fault, then I will not let him off. Don't worry about that. But if Ming-Feng was the one who was at fault, then your behavior would only end up implicating innocent parties for nothing. So before we investigate this matter thoroughly, nobody is to do anything rash! Anyone who dares to go against my orders shall be duly punished!" said Lu He firmly. There was no room for negotiation.

The two brothers had no choice but to stop in their tracks and just hung their heads sadly.

But Lu He's wife didn't care about any of this. Her mind was filled with nothing but revenge. When she saw that the two brothers weren't going to do anything, she lost it and started railing at Lu He.

"Lu He!! You heartless man! How can you call yourself a father! Your son is dead and you refuse to avenge him?! Fine! If you're not going to avenge him, I will! Even if it costs my life, I'm going to avenge my son!!" she screamed and shrieked at Lu He like she had gone mad.

"Enough!" Lu He seemed to have lost all patience now. He pushed her to the floor and shouted angrily at her, "You useless woman! Don't you know what sort of person your son is? Don't you know how much trouble he's caused for the family all these years? If he wasn't from this family, the crimes he has committed would have gotten him executed by now! He wouldn't have survived even if he had ten lives! If the other party was in the wrong, then I will definitely make sure they pay for killing my son. But if this rebellious son of mine had been the one in the wrong, then I can only say that he deserved it!"
