A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1104 Lu He's Final Decision
The angry voice of Lu He was directed at his wife inside the living room.
His only son had died. Of course he was upset too.
The pain he was suffering inside was no less than anyone else in this room right now.
But Lu He wasn't someone who didn't care about the facts and just blindly stood on his family's side.
Otherwise, even with the protection of the Lu family, he wouldn't have risen to such a high position today either.
So Lu He decided that it was best to find out exactly what happened to his son before making any decision.
He knew his son only too well.
This boy had been spoilt rotten by his mother and his grandfather.
When he was in Yanjing, he had gone around doing all sorts of wicked things and he had committed so many crimes.
If the Lu family weren't this powerful in Yanjing, this boy would have been killed by someone else long ago.
And just like what Lu He said earlier, if Lu Ming-Feng turned out to be the one at fault after a thorough investigation had been conducted, then this rebellious young man definitely deserved to be killed. Lu He wasn't going to throw the reputation of his family down the drain over a useless and rebellious son like that.
"Get out right now!"
His wife didn't dare to say anything anymore after Lu He shouted so angrily at her.
She just collapsed on the floor as she hugged her son's dead body and couldn't stop crying.
Nobody else in the living room dared to say anything either.
Who would dare to go against the authority of the head of the Lu family?
"Lu He, how dare you do such a thing! Do you think you are very great now? You think you can hit your wife now?! Even the rich and powerful remember their devoted wives! But you? Have you forgotten how much Ying has done for the Lu family just because you have attained some achievement?" A low and furious voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Old Master Lu came walking in with large strides.
"Dad, why are you here? Didn't I get the servants to bring you back to your room to rest?"
The old man had nearly fainted in shock from seeing his grandson's dead body earlier.
So Lu He got the servants to bring the old man back to his room to rest so as not to affect his health.
But after resting for a few minutes, the old man came back to the living room again.
"If I didn't come back now, then my grandson would have died for nothing! Even a ferocious tiger would not bring harm to its child! Your son has been killed and you remain unmoved? Worse still, you even become violent towards your wife? Am I dead to you? Did you think that you could just do whatever you wanted?"
"Number two! Number three! Listen to your sister-in-law's instructions and go ahead and get that Jiangdong gangster! Round them up and bring them to Yanjing! I'm going to ask him where he found the guts to actually dare to kill a grandson of mine!" declared Old Master Lu in a deep voice.
"Dad, she doesn't have much foresight and it's not surprising that she's spouting her mouth off. But why are you also..." Lu He looked at his father and asked him in a bitter tone after hearing what he said. "Spouting her mouth off? A life for a life! There is nothing wrong with making that man pay for Ming-Feng's life! My grandson has been killed and I'm going to arrest his killer! Is there something wrong with that?" retorted Old Master Lu with a cold look in his eyes.
The only one in the entire family who dared to reprimand Lu He like this was Lu Cang-Qiong.
"Fine. Dad, you want to talk about a life for a life? Then let me ask you. Twelve years ago, this boy caused so much trauma to the Lins' youngest daughter to the point she jumped off a building to kill herself. Who paid for that life lost?"
"Eight years ago, your precious grandson knocked down a mother and her son. Who paid fortheir lives?"
"Then three years ago, your grandson raped a female student and she's still lying in hospital in a vegetative state. Who's going to get justice for her?"
Lu He's string of questions were like knives that stabbed into Old Master Lu's heart so deeply that his face reddened but he had no reply for his son at all.
"Twelve years ago I said that Ming-Feng should be turned in and he should have served a sentence and turn over a new leaf. But none of you wanted to listen to me and you just let him do whatever he wanted. Look what's happened now! If he's ended up like this because he went around doing wicked deeds, then he deserves to be killed and the other party should not be blamed for it!" said Lu He in a loud and clear voice.
Everyone fell silent after Lu He's angry shouts.
Not even Old Master Lu retorted, because he knew that his son made sense.
"Dad, that's all I will say. I've said everything I should. Ming-Feng's death hurts me very deeply too. I will investigate this matter properly and find out who was right and who was wrong. If Ming-Feng has been wronged, I will seek justice for him. But similarly, if this was his fault, I will not simply blame someone else for it."
"Before this matter has been fully investigated, I do not want anyone to interfere, and I certainly do not want to see anybody abuse the power you have to seek revenge."
"The family is at a very important juncture right now, so I don't want any unforeseen circumstances to arise at this point in time. Otherwise, the ones who will be affected will not only be myself and my career, but also the future of the entire Lu family. Dad, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say," said Lu He in a calm and slow voice.
His tone of voice had softened as he tried to talk reasonably to his father.
After that, he waved his hands and dismissed everyone back to their rooms.
He got his men to deal with Lu Ming-Feng's body so that they could bury it only after a full investigation had been conducted.
Even though Old Master Lu loved this grandson dearly, he wasn't someone who couldn't see the big picture.
It was now a very important juncture in Lu He's career, and he couldn't allow anything to go wrong now.
As a result, Old Master Lu had no choice but to allow his son to conduct an investigation first.
It wasn't hard to find out what happened anyway.
Many people knew exactly what Lu Ming-Feng and his buddy did in Jiangdong.
A full report on Lu Ming-Feng's death came to Lu He first thing the next morning.
After reading through all the documents, Lu He immediately hit the roof and slammed a palm on his desk.
"This unfilial rebellious son! He actually did such a thing in Jiangdong?! It is already bad enough that he destroyed someone else's company and that he used his power to bully others into doing his bidding. He actually sent someone to kill the other party's parents, tried to touch his wife and even used heavy artillery in the city area in order to blast his house?"
"This boy will be the death of me! I have tried my best to be an upright person all my life! How did I end up with a son like that?!"
Lu He stood in his study with bloodshot eyes as he stared at all the terrible things that Lu Ming-Feng had done during his time in Jiangdong. Fury surged through his body despite being the father of the perpetrator.
After he had flown into a rage for a long time, Lu He finally gave his final order.
"Send me orders out. Lu Ming-Feng shall be removed from the genealogy records of the Lu family. The Lu family never had a bastard like this!"
"Also, nobody is to talk about taking revenge for this wicked child anymore. Even the heavens couldn't stand his existence anymore! An animal like him deserved to die!"
HUU!
A strong wind gusted as it carried Lu He's furious voice and echoed through the house.
