Chapter 106: Father and Son Confrontation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Jiang felt that Third Young Master was really suspicious. How can you suspect Young Master when he’s so young?
“This is absolutely impossible. If you have always been virtuous, Third Young Master would never have a son.”
Lu Zhiyuan crossed his legs and also felt a bit sensitive, “Am 1 being too sensitive?”
Li Jiang nodded, “Third Young Master, just ease your mind. Young Master is definitely not your son!”
“He can’t just appear out of thin air,” Lu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes, “You’ve been investigating for months, and there’s no news at all?”
“Third Master really couldn’t find anything. You can ask Miss Gu Ci. Maybe she can give you some answers, and then I can report back to you.” Li Jiang couldn’t ask for more. If he didn’t handle this matter well, Third Master would keep investigating.
“Why does he want to investigate Gu Ziyu?”
“Young Master is a genius hacker. He almost made a loophole in the Black Hawk Group’s network system. Third Master took care of it, but he found him suspicious. However, he couldn’t find anything. Young Master challenged Third Master and vowed to take down the Black Hawk Group. He must have some grudge against them.” Li Jiang revealed the truth.
Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up, and he smiled strangely, “That’s interesting. Gu Ziyu wants to take them down?”
Li Jiang looked at Lu Zhiyuan’s gloating expression and reminded him, “Third Young Master, your fortune is tied to Third Master.”
Lu Zhiyuan didn’t care. He was happy to cause trouble for Third Master.
“I kinda like Gu Ziyu.”
Li Jiang was speechless.
Lu Zhiyuan’s face stiffened, and he squinted his eyes, “Wait, could he be a illegitimate child of Lu Ze?”
What?!
Downstairs, Gu Ziyu felt a chill down his spine. He told Gu Ci, “Mom, Dad has been staring at me ever since we left the supermarket.”
“Are you being too sensitive?” Gu Ci didn’t pay attention to it.
“It’s true!” Gu Ziyu said, “He’s been watching me with his eyes. What if he asks Li Jiang to get my hair or blood for a paternity test?”
Gu Ci laughed, “Baby, your dad isn’t that sensitive or bored. Relax.”
“My intuition tells me he definitely suspects that I’m his son.”
Gu Ci touched Gu Ziyu’s face, “You’re only fourteen years younger than him. At most, he suspects that you’re Lu Ze’s illegitimate child.”
Lu Zhiyuan actually called Lu Ze. Lu Ze rarely received his call and was in a good mood, “Why suddenly concerned about your dad?”
“Did you give birth to a little brother for me?” Lu Zhiyuan got straight to the point.
Lu Ze’s face darkened. He knew there was no good reason for his son to call him, “Zhiyuan, focus on your own business and don’t go crazy.”
“Dad, I’m serious.” Lu Zhiyuan clicked his tongue, “About seven or eight years ago, who were the women around you? Give me a list, 1’11 check.”
“I had a vasectomy ten years ago.” Lu Ze gritted his teeth, “You rebellious child!”
Lu Ze angrily hung up the phone, leaving Lu Zhiyuan puzzled. He asked Li Jiang, “He had a vasectomy ten years ago?”
“Yes, Third Young Master!”
“Then why didn’t you stop me from calling?”
Li Jiang pursed his lips, thinking that he wanted to see you get scolded. Could he say that honestly? Li Jiang looked honest, “I just remembered. That year, you had a big fight with Lu Shijie, and it got pretty intense. You said the chairman managed reproduction but not education. Even if you had a child, it would be a disaster. The chairman, for some reason, went and had a vasectomy.”
“No wonder he kept having women around him. He acted like a playboy but didn’t give me any little brothers in these ten years.” Lu Zhiyuan also suspected Lu Shijie and Lu Shixiu. After thinking about it, he said, “Forget it, it’s not like 1 look down on them, but they couldn’t have a son as good-looking as Gu Ziyu.”
Li Jiang didn’t know what to say.
Please, time, go faster. Third Master is about to take over. For the first time, 1 feel like Third Master is easier to serve than Third Young Master!
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Gu Ziyu wanted to go on a trip, and Gu Ci, looking at her son’s eager eyes, couldn’t resist. Even if there was a pile of homework, she agreed without hesitation.
She asked Gu Ziyu, “Should we invite Lu Zhiyuan?”
Gu Ziyu frowned in disgust. He didn’t want his father to disturb their mother-son trip. Gu Ci casually said, “Dad has his private plane, so we don’t have to squeeze into a small cabin with other people.”
“Okay!” Gu Ziyu agreed arrogantly. “Just because of the plane.”
“Yes, just because of the plane.”
Gu Ci invited Lu Zhiyuan to join them on the trip, and Lu Zhiyuan gladly agreed. After the September competition, he wouldn’t have another major tournament until December, so it was the perfect time for rest and relaxation.
Lu Zhiyuan wanted to go to Hai Cheng, and coincidentally, Gu Ziyu also had the same destination in mind. Gu Ci planned the itinerary, and the three of them, as a family, boarded the plane to Hai Cheng. Lu Zhiyuan brought Li Jiang and two bodyguards with him.
After classes on Friday, the mother and son went straight to the airport. With their luggage packed, Lu Zhiyuan also planned the timing. They were supposed to board the plane before 6 p.m., and once on board, he would sleep. When Third Master got off the plane, he and Gu Ci would be in separate rooms, and his identity wouldn’t be revealed.
However, plans don’t always go as expected. There was an accident in one of Gu Ziyu’s experiments in his doctoral program. The lab exploded, causing Gu Ziyu to suffer some minor injuries. Gu Ci took him to the school clinic for first aid and medication. By the time they reached the airport, it was already 6:30 p.m.
When Li Jiang received them at the airport, he had a subtle smile on his face. “Miss Gu Ci, did you do it on purpose?”
Gu Ci lifted Gu Ziyu’s arm, revealing a scar caused by shattered glass. “On purpose?”
Li Jiang bowed at a ninety-degree angle. “1 have a big mouth. I’m sorry.”
They all boarded the plane together. Lu Zhiyuan’s private plane was larger than a regular passenger plane. It had suites, a small bar, and even a screening room. Gu Ziyu was familiar with this plane. In his previous life, he inherited Lu Zhiyuan’s wealth, including this plane, and he often traveled in it.
“Where is your master?”
“In the study, handling business,” Li Jiang said. After settling Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu, the plane took off. Once it was stable, Gu Ci unbuckled her seatbelt, took Gu Ziyu’s hand, and went to the bar to get some juice.
Passing by the study, Gu Ziyu’s conscience kicked in, and he knocked on the door, asking Lu Zhiyuan, “Brother, would you like some juice?”
Lu Zhiyuan looked up, gazing at Gu Ziyu. His usually smiling eyes were deep and tranquil, like an unfathomable sea. After their eyes met in a void, Lu Zhiyuan said, “Bring me a glass of apple juice.”
“Okay!” Gu Ziyu remained calm on the surface but was suspicious in his heart. He asked Gu Ci, “Mom, pour a glass of juice. I’ll take it to my brother.”
“Sure!” Gu Ci was busy mixing drinks. She planned to make a cocktail for herself. After pouring a glass of apple juice for Gu Ziyu, she also poured one for Third Master. Gu Ziyu carried the juice to the study.
Lu Zhiyuan placed the information about the Imperial Dynasty Motorcade on the computer, covering up the files related to the Black Hawk Group.. Gu Ziyu placed the juice on his desk, and as Lu Zhiyuan reached for the glass to drink, Gu Ziyu pressed his hand on the table and lowered his voice, “Brother, do you have a split personality?”
