After Song Shijing finished speaking, he saw that Gu Zheng’s expression did not change. Instead, Gu Zheng smiled calmly. “President, you’ve been tolerating the Lu family all these years. Now, you can finally hold your head high.”

All these years, no matter what the Lu family did, the president would turn a blind eye. Even though he was capable enough to crush the Lu family, the president still did not retaliate. Ever since he married Young Madam, the president had started to attack the Lu family.

Song Shijing had always thought that the president was tolerating it because of kinship, but the Lu family did not appreciate it at all. Instead, they became even more aggressive and even targeted Young Madam. That was why the president finally chose to resist.

Hearing Song Shijing’s words, Gu Zheng sneered and raised an eyebrow at him. “You’ve been by my side for so many years. Do you think I’m such a tolerant person?”

Song Shijing choked.

Gu Zheng’s deep eyes were filled with a cold smile. His thin lips parted slightly as he said word by word, “Killing them directly or destroying the Lu family will be letting them off easy. I just want to see them fall into pain and despair bit by bit. They’ll gradually be devoured by desire and be consigned to eternal damnation.”

Song Shijing’s heart trembled. In order to make the Lu family suffer, Gu Zheng should let them watch as the family’s hundred years of hard work declined in their hands. Such pain was equivalent to cutting their hearts out.

Hence, the president had never tolerated the Lu family all these years. Instead, he was secretly paving the way and guiding the Lu family into the trap he set up. Lu Corporation was far inferior to how it was a few years ago. Coupled with Lu Yan’s wrong judgments, the company lost nearly 20 billion yuan. Now, Lu Corporation was already in a precarious situation.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Xi pushed the door open and walked straight in front of Gu Zheng.

That servant entered the Lu family a few years ago. With Gu Zheng’s methods, he had definitely done more than just plant a spy. It was likely that nothing that happened in the Lu family would be able to get past him, but Qiao Xi did not understand. Gu Zheng had already completely controlled the Lu family in his hands. Why had he not attacked the Lu family? Why was he even tolerating the Lu family that were like little fleas jumping around on his head?

Although the Lu family’s business was getting worse by the year, they still had a hundred years of foundation. The Lu family was still a noble family in Li City. Even though Lu Yan knew that he could not win against Gu Zheng, he was still struggling tenaciously. This meant that Gu Zheng had never been ruthless and always left the Lu family with a chance of survival.

At this moment, Qiao Xi suddenly sensed that something was wrong. Gu Zheng knew that Lu Qingyun’s death was related to the Lu family. Although he had yet to investigate clearly, he had the ability to make the Lu family disappear from Li City and make these scumbags pay the price they deserved.

Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes, and her burning gaze landed on Gu Zheng.

Song Shijing was shocked. Did Young Madam know about the servant? Or was she here to explain Ji Nan’s identity? After all, this was between the couple. He should leave first.

However, before Song Shijing could leave, Qiao Xi frowned and asked seriously, “Ah Zheng, the Lu family has already stepped on your toes. Why are you still keeping them around?”

Gu Zheng froze instantly. Song Shijing did not expect Young Madam to suddenly come in just to ask this. He had asked this question just now, and the president gave him a clear answer.

The reason why he kept the Lu family around was to watch them fall into pain and despair bit by bit. They would gradually be devoured by desire and be doomed.

The president was good at attacking the spots where it hurt most. The best way to make the Lu family suffer was not to overthrow the Lu family overnight but to let Old Master Lu and Lu Yan see hope but gradually fall into despair. When the Lu family could not make a comeback, they would suffer even more. This punishment was the most terrifying.

Previously, the president’s tolerance was not because of their relationship. He did not treat the Lu family as family at all. From the moment he went to the Lu family to seek help and was chased out, the Lu family had become the target of his revenge.

Song Shijing thought that he could answer Young Madam directly and say that the president wanted to take revenge on the Lu family. He wanted the Lu family to collapse in despair and receive the punishment they deserved. Just as he was about to explain, however…

“No matter what, the Lu family is my mother’s family. They’re considered my relatives by blood.” Gu Zheng’s voice was calm and even a little helpless.

Song Shijing choked on the words in his mouth. His body stiffened as he looked at Gu Zheng in shock.

Did he hear wrongly? The president said that he had familial affection for the Lu family?
