Chapter 29: Clan Elders Forcing a Showdown? I'm Really Just Seizing Family Assets!
Lu Family Manor, Meeting Hall.
The atmosphere here today was more oppressive than ever before.
Rows of agarwood high-back chairs were filled with uncles and elders of the Lu family. These clan members, rarely seen on ordinary days, sat upright, their gazes occasionally sweeping toward the main seat.
Since the news of the true young master Ye Chen being expelled from the family had already spread through the circles, these branch clan members had sensed a crack in power. They had come to the door one after another under the banner of "rectifying the source."
Lu Shixuan strode into the hall.
He was still wearing that glittering gold suit, twirling his ferrari car keys in his hand. His leather shoes tapped out a provocative rhythm on the smooth marble floor.
Chu Yaoyao followed behind him with her head lowered, tightly clutching the stack of share agreements they had just obtained.
"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing today to bring all you grand-uncles and uncles here?"
Lu Shixuan plopped down into the empty seat beside his eldest sister, Lu Qingwan. He leaned back, propping his legs directly onto the expensive Huanghuali wood coffee table.
He squinted at a red-faced fat man sitting in the first seat on the left—that was the Lu family's Third Uncle, Lu Zhenhai.
"What's up, Third Uncle? I heard you lost two hundred million on the high seas recently. Did you come here to beg for alms?"
Lu Zhenhai's face darkened, and he slammed the table abruptly.
"Lu Shixuan! How dare you! This is the Lu Clan Council. You... you're a person of unknown identity. What right do you have to be shouting here?"
He originally wanted to say "fake young master," but seeing Lu Qingwan's cold, phoenix-like eyes, he forced himself to swallow the words.
Lu Shixuan was overjoyed in his heart.
Yes!
This is the rhythm!
Hurry up and expose my identity!
Quickly say I'm not worthy of the surname Lu!
Third Uncle, give it some effort! Don't you have the dismissal letter signed by the clan members in your hand?
Quickly throw it in Eldest Sister's face!
As long as I'm kicked out of the Lu Group, I'll immediately take Yaoyao to travel the world. Who cares about looking at your old faces here?
Lu Qingwan's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.
She turned her head, looking at her younger brother's arrogant "begging for a slap" appearance, and a surge of indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.
A Xuan, to prevent internal family strife, do you actually want to take all the fire and infamy upon yourself?
Do you want to use this method to force these greedy clan members to aim their spearheads at you, thereby protecting my position as CEO?
Silly brother.
"Third Uncle."
Lu Qingwan set down her teacup, her voice as cold as snow.
"A Xuan is my, Lu Qingwan's, younger brother, and also the Executive Director of the Lu Group. Whether he has the right or not is for me to decide."
Lu Zhenhai gave a cold laugh and pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase.
"Qingwan, it's not that we're being unreasonable. But the Ye Chen matter has caused a huge stir; the Lu family bloodline cannot be tainted."
"Since Ye Chen is gone, then Lu Shixuan's identity needs an explanation."
"We are in unanimous agreement that before his identity is clarified, Lu Shixuan must surrender all the equity in his hands and withdraw from the West Suburb Chemical Industrial Park project!"
Lu Shixuan suddenly stood up, snatched the document, and tore it into pieces in a few strokes.
"You want equity? You want the West Suburb project?"
Lu Shixuan pointed at Lu Zhenhai's nose, his tone arrogant to the extreme.
"Third Uncle, haven't you sobered up yet? That place is something This Young Master took a fancy to. I'll play with it however I want. Even if I build a pigsty there, it's still my territory!"
"Not only that, from today on, I want all the dividends you people have in the group!"
"I'm going to take all your pension money to buy food for stray dogs, and I'm going to give every dog a Hermes collar!"
"Anyone who has an objection can get out of the Lu family right now!"
The whole room was in an uproar.
The clan members were trembling with rage, one after another accusing Lu Shixuan of being insane.
Lu Shixuan felt fantastic inside.
Haha!
This wave of the "insatiably greedy" persona is solid, right?
Not only seizing equity, but not even letting go of their dividends—this is simply a tyrant in the flesh!
Third Uncle, quick, call the bodyguards in to grab me!
I saw you brought a few skilled fighters when I came in just now.
Wait... Lu Shixuan's brow suddenly furrowed.
A strong, uncontrollable "urge to urinate" instantly rushed to the crown of his head.
That was the warning from God-level Crisis Perception!
There was killing intent within a hundred-meter radius!
And it was very thick!
Lu Shixuan's gaze instantly became sharp as he rapidly scanned the crowd.
The killing intent wasn't coming from these old men, but... that waiter serving tea?
The waiter had thick calluses on his thumb web—those were marks left by long-term gun handling!
Is he from the Dark Web?
Shit!
That grandson Ye Chen hasn't given up yet; he actually wants to carry out an assassination at the clan meeting?
Does he want to kill Eldest Sister in the chaos and then pin the blame on me, the "asset-grabbing" fake young master?
Lu Shixuan's heart rate began to accelerate.
He suddenly flipped the coffee table in front of him over.
"Clang!"
Tea splashed all over Lu Zhenhai, and the scene turned into a mess.
"Everyone shut up for This Young Master! This tea is too foul! Is someone trying to poison me?"
Lu Shixuan pointed at the waiter who was about to approach Eldest Sister and rushed over with a ferocious look.
"You! It's you! What did you put in this tea? Are you trying to secretly harm This Young Master?"
He grabbed the waiter's collar with incredible force, pinning the other party directly against a pillar.
A flash of panic appeared in the waiter's eyes, and his right hand hidden under the tray suddenly reached for his lower back.
Lu Shixuan was quick of eye and hand, his God-level Combat Technique instantly exploding.
He slammed a knee strike hard into the other's abdomen, while simultaneously using his right hand as a palm-blade to accurately chop the other's wrist.
"Clatter!"
A black handgun fitted with a silencer dropped to the floor.
Screams instantly rang through the meeting hall.
Lu Shixuan didn't pay any attention to the surrounding chaos at all. He straddled the waiter, his fists falling like raindrops.
"You dare play dirty in front of This Young Master? Who do you think you are!"
"Speak! Did Lu Zhenhai order you to come? Does he want to kill me so he can seize my dog food fund?"
While Lu Shixuan was fighting, he was screaming frantically in his heart.
Eldest Sister, run!
There's another one hidden behind that screen back there!
Third Sister!
Lu Hongyi!
Where the hell did you go?
If you don't come soon, I'm going to be stabbed into a hornet's nest!
These Dark Web lunatics actually brought high-voltage stun batons!
Just as Lu Shixuan was about to have a stun baton pressed against his back by another assassin rushing out from behind the screen—
"Crash!"
The window glass of the meeting hall was violently shattered.
Lu Hongyi arrived with the SWAT Team like soldiers descending from heaven.
"Nobody move! Police!"
The stun baton stopped only a centimeter away from Lu Shixuan's back.
Lu Hongyi knocked the assassin unconscious with a gun butt, then pulled Lu Shixuan up, her eyes full of lingering fear and heartache.
"A Xuan, you're too reckless! Dealing with two professional assassins alone?"
Lu Shixuan shook off her hand, rubbing his somewhat numb arm, and pointed arrogantly at Lu Zhenhai, who was slumped on the floor.
"Third Sister, you came at just the right time! Arrest this old fatty too!"
"He couldn't win the equity from me just now, so he found someone to try and assassinate me! I personally heard him giving instructions to the killer just now!"
He deliberately framed him, his tone extremely despicable.
Phew, shifting this blame to Third Uncle will not only ruin his reputation but also conveniently clean out this family parasite.
Even though I know these assassins were brought by Ye Chen, if I don't say Third Uncle ordered it, how can Eldest Sister have an excuse to take back his dividends?
For the sake of this family, I've truly discarded even my last bit of integrity.
Lu Qingwan stood on the steps, looking at the youth who did not hesitate to publicly "frame" an elder in order to protect her.
Her eyes became completely moist.
A Xuan, to prevent me from bearing the infamy of "harming clan members," you actually took all the dirty work upon yourself.
Your so-called "seizing family assets" is actually helping me consolidate power!
"Lu Zhenhai."
Lu Qingwan's voice was cold to the extreme, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Colluding with the Dark Web to murder the head of the house. From today on, you and your entire branch are stripped of all dividends and equity, and expelled from the Lu family."
"As for A Xuan..."
Lu Qingwan walked up to Lu Shixuan and, in front of all the terrified clan members, gently wiped the blood from his face.
"What A Xuan said just now is correct. The West Suburb project, as well as all of the Lu family's liquid funds, are to be handled by him with full authority."
"Anyone with an objection is welcome to go to the police station to talk with Hongyi."
Lu Shixuan stood there, his whole being numb.
Wait... Eldest Sister, isn't this judgment a bit too hasty?
I was clearly framing him!
Aren't you going to investigate at all?
Also, full authority over liquid funds?
That's tens of billions!
Aren't you afraid I'll really use it to buy dog food?
Ding!
Detected host has completed the "Havoc at the Clan Council" mission.
Since the host successfully saw through the assassination plot, saved core members of the Lu family, and completed a major internal family purge using "extremely despicable" means.
System Evaluation: The host's political maneuvering has reached its peak, and by repeatedly flirting with death, charm points have overflowed again.
Reward: 30 million in cash.
Reward: God-level Physique Evolution (host can now be immune to strong electrical current attacks for a short period).
villain points: -5000 (host, you are now the "Demon King" in the eyes of the Lu clan elders, but in the eyes of your sisters, you are their only guardian deity).
Lu Shixuan plopped down onto the coffee table he had overturned and let out a long sigh as he watched Lu Zhenhai being taken away.
"I really just wanted to be a villain who seizes family assets!"
At that moment, Chu Yaoyao walked over and handed him a tissue.
"Young Master Lu, your hand is shaking."
"That's from the electricity! Not from being scared!"
Lu Shixuan said stubbornly.
This girl, why is her hand reaching out again?
But... the feeling of being held by her seems a little more comfortable than that thirty million reward?
No!
I'm a bully!
I have to go confiscate her lunch!
Lu Shixuan suddenly stood up and shouted at Chu Yaoyao: "What are you looking at! Go buy This Young Master an ice-cold cola! A large bottle!"
Chu Yaoyao pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Okay, Young Master Lu."
Meanwhile, in a distant dark place, Ye Chen watched the footage of Lu Zhenhai being arrested on the screen and let out a desperate wail.
"Lu Shixuan... do you even have a weakness?"
He didn't know that Lu Shixuan's only weakness was this group of sisters who didn't follow the script and overthought everything.
