Chapter 891: Life And Death Without Hope (1)
“You!” Lu Shu panicked immediately. The only leverage she had over Lu Xiangtian now was the piece of information in her hands, and she had to make sure that only she knew about this secret, and only she could tell him.
However, if Lu Xiangtian was no longer interested in this, then she and Li Yan would really be meat on Lu Xiangtian’s chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by him.
“I don’t think you’re stupid. Don’t think I’m stupid either. If I let you two go, the two of you would have found a place to elope a long time ago, and you might even tell me about my daughter. I can spare your lives, but during this period, you’ll lose your freedom.”
Lu Shu and Li Yan were stunned again, and they quickly reacted. After understanding Lu Xiangtian’s words, Lu Shu was the first to lose control and shout, “No, you can’t do this. You can’t do this.”
Even Li Yan, who had been silent the whole time, could not help but say with a dark expression, “Mr. Lu, you’re assaulting a police officer and illegally detaining him.”
Lu Xiangtian seemed to have heard a joke. He pointed the gun in his hand at Li Yan’s temple and said coldly, “Do you think it’s useful to tell me this?”
Li Yan’s face darkened. He pursed his lips and shut his mouth.
“Men, take them away! When this young lady wants to speak, bring her here to see me again.” Lu Xiangtian did not have the chance to listen to Lu Shu’s disbelief and Li Yan’s silence. He immediately shouted at the outside.
The bodyguards in black, who had been prepared beforehand, rushed in. Each of them had a weapon in their hands, so they easily held down the two of them.
“Lu Xiangtian, you… you’re really lawless! You’ll get your retribution sooner or later. You’ll get your retribution!” Lu Shu lowered her head, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Lu Xiangtian and shouted uncontrollably.
Lu Xiangtian could see the fear hidden behind Lu Shu’s shouting. He chuckled. “Retribution? I’ve never believed in retribution. If there really is retribution in this world, then this is your retribution for lying to me. You’d better pray that what you just said is true, and you’d better pray that you’re the only one who knows where my daughter is. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death.”
Lu Shu’s entire body trembled, and her gaze started to wander. It was unclear whether she was afraid or guilty.
Lu Xiangtian no longer wanted to look at Lu Shu’s face. This face that he thought was pleasing to the eye and couldn’t help but want to dote on was now indescribably boring and tiring. That was why… Lu Shu’s eyes were filled with hatred. Humans were indeed creatures of the mind. One second, they could dote on you, and the next, they could treat you like a pair of worn-out shoes.
“Take her away!” Lu Xiangtian’s order announced the tragedy of Lu Shu and Li Yan and also doomed the future of the two of them.
Lu Shu was being dragged out by someone, but she still refused to give up and struggled. But now, how could she be a match for those black-robed bodyguards who no longer showed mercy?
Li Yan didn’t have much of a reaction. He seemed a little numb. He didn’t know if it was because he was dragged into this mess by accident or because of something else.
Zhao Youlin was a capable person. She watched coldly as Lu Xiangtian’s bodyguards dragged the, out. Zhao Youlin took a deep breath, pulled Mu Tingfeng, and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, the moment she turned, Lu Sizheng grabbed her wrist. “Where are you going?”
Mu Tingfeng glanced at her coldly. Lu Sizheng held Zhao Youlin’s hand. Without saying a word, he reached out and pushed Lu Sizheng’s hand away in an extremely unyielding manner, saving Zhao Youlin’s hand once again.
Zhao Youlin was speechless.
Lu Sizheng was speechless.
Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. A hint of a smile flashed across her eyes. Thanks to Mu Tingfeng’s interruption, Zhao Youlin’s mood was slightly calmer. She looked up at Lu Sizheng and said, “Where would I go? Naturally, I’m going home. You invited us here to watch the show. Now that the show has ended, there’s no need for us to continue staying, is there?”
Lu Sizheng narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, “That’s right. Then forgive me for being presumptuous. After watching such a good show just now, I wonder how Ms. Zhao and Mr. Mu feel. For example, who is my foster father’s biological daughter? Do you have any candidates in mind?”
As soon as Lu Sizheng said this, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned again. Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered as he looked into Lu Sizheng’s penetrating eyes. He took a step forward and blocked Zhao Youlin behind him. He sneered and said, “Why are you asking us? We have nothing to do with the Lu family. Even if you want to ask this question, he should ask the person in the hall.”
The smile on Lu Sizheng’s face faded when he heard this, and he looked at Mu Tingfeng with hostility. Mu Tingfeng didn’t flinch and looked at him directly.
The two men didn’t say anything, but they gave the surrounding people a strong sense of oppression.
After the two men looked at each other for a while, they broke the tension almost at the same time. Mu Tingfeng pulled Zhao Youlin and left without looking back. Lu Sizheng stood where he was and watched the two leave. Then, he turned his eyes. He looked at the man in the hall who seemed to have lost all his strength after Lu Shu was taken away. He sat on the sofa with a gloomy but increasingly dangerous look on his face, and a dark light flashed across his eyes.
This was only the beginning. The real show was still to come. Hopefully, the two of you can still hold on when the time comes!

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng both heaved a sigh of relief as soon as they got into their cars. They had thought that they would definitely see blood after what had just happened! They had not expected that Lu Shu would actually find a glimmer of hope.
However, this glimmer of hope was only temporary. Once Lu Xiangtian found out about his biological daughter from someone else, they had no doubt that Lu Xiangtian would really shoot Lu Shu and Li Yan on the spot.
“After today, Lu Xiangtian will turn his attention to you. What do you plan to do?” Mu Tingfeng asked with a frown.
Lu Xiangtian had performed the paternity test, most likely because he heard what Zhao Youlin said. Now that the results of the paternity test were out, Lu Xiangtian was bound to find Zhao Youlin and ask her about the necklace, and more importantly, about the person behind the necklace.
Zhao Youlin smiled bitterly. Apparently, she had also thought of this.
When she told Lu Xiangtian about it, it was just to make use of him. She wanted to use Lu Xiangtian’s hands to prove her guess. She didn’t think about the consequences at all. Now that Lu Xiangtian had given her answer, endless trouble would soon follow.
