Lu Ming chose the second option without hesitation. He did not mind beating Lu Ze up a few more times.
So Lu Ming walked out from the shadows. âYou want to take someone away forcibly in broad daylight just because your confession didnât work? This is a society governed by law. Do you really think that the Lu family can rely on its power to deceive people in Shanghai?â
Lu Ze looked at him in disbelief. His body instinctively recalled the experience of getting beaten up and he was tongue-tied. âW-why are you here?!â
âNo matter where I go, I bump into this devil!â?he thought.
The corners of Lu Mingâs lips curled up. âI also want to ask why you are here. This is really a coincidence. Perhaps⦠this is heavenâs arrangement? After all, every time I see you, you seem to be doing bad things.â
Before Lu Ze could say anything, the middle-aged woman in the floral blouse said indignantly, âThey are in a coupleâs fight, so why are you meddling? Do you really think youâre the messenger of justice? If you interfere with their reconciliation, can you bear the responsibility?â
She looked around at the people around and continued, âDo you guys think so?â
âYeah! This is between the couple in the first place. Why bother to cause trouble for yourself? Let them handle their own family affair. It will be a sin to break them up.â
âI just arrived. What happened here? Could it be that when he was confessing, he suddenly realized that the person he confessed to had a boyfriend? Coincidentally, the girlfriendâs boyfriend happened to be here?â
âThatâs completely wrong. Theyâre a couple who are having a squabble. That rich second-generation heir was apologizing. Another man thought that there was really a conflict between them, so he came out to stop them. I think he was just too impulsive. Maybe this couple wonât appreciate it!â
âAre they really a couple?â
âOf course. Canât you see that the man in the black suit is so affectionate?â
â¦
Upon hearing the support from so many people, the initially timid Lu Ze puffed up his chest again and said, âTheyâre right. This is a family matter between Ms. Chu and me. It has nothing to do with you!â
âFamily matter?â
Lu Ming repeated the two words and said meaningfully, âLu Ze, I donât know that you have a girlfriend. I remember that you were pursuing another person recently.â
Lu Ze hid his guilty conscience and said, âIt, itâs none of your business!â
The next second, there was a loud slap and the right side of his face swelled up instantly. Caught off guard, he widened his eyes and tried to get his subordinates to retaliate. âGo!â
However, there was no reaction at all. Lu Ming pointed at a certain spot and said, âYour subordinates seem to be even more timid than you.â
Lu Ze turned around and saw those people trembling in a corner.
âA bunch of trash!â
The thin manâs smile was uglier than crying. He said, âYoung, Young Master Lu, itâs not that weâre timid, but heâs really too powerful. Even if there were 10 of us, we wouldnât be able to beat him.â
âYoung man, you have to calm down! You have nothing to do with them. Itâs a little problematic to attack them directly, right? Theyâve already said that this has nothing to do with you. If you make another move, Iâll call the police!â
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman quickly took out her phone and threatened Lu Ming.
Seeing that someone was still on his side, Lu Ze continued, âThis is my girlfriend. Isnât it normal for me to do something to her?â
âThatâs right. And in my opinion, the fault is not entirely with this young man. Young lady, listen to my advice and accept his apology. Iâve seen him decorating this place earlier on. Donât let his good intentions go to waste.â
Her words implied that Chu Jinyu did not know what was good for her.
Lu Ze added, âI specially got someone to ship these flowers from overseas. Jinyu, youâ¦â
Another thud. This time it was the left side of his face.
Immediately after, the successive sounds of slapping rang out like raindrops falling on the ground. Lu Zeâs face swelled like a pigâs head and saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable.
Everyone gasped.
âIsnât this too heavy-handed? Is there a personal grudge? Look! Youâve beaten him silly! Isnât this lawless? This person is so scary!â
âWhy donât we call the police quickly! Such a person is really too dangerous.â
âThatâs right! Has anyone called the police? Also, call an ambulance. Letâs go farther away so we donât get affected.â
â¦
The woman in the floral blouse said with an ugly expression, âThis is too much! Iâll call the police now and get them to arrest you!â
Before she could dial, Lu Ming wiped his hands slowly and said, âThis is my family matter. What has it got to do with you?â
âFamily matter?â
Everyone was stunned.
âWhat is going on?â
?they wondered.
The woman in the floral blouse vocalized the question in their hearts. âWhat kind of family matter is this? Could it be that you have something to do with this woman?â
âOf course not.â
Lu Ming answered calmly.
The auntie was a little angry. âAre you kidding us? Since you have nothing to do with this woman, how can you say itâs a family matter?â
âI am this personâs elder brother, Lu Ming. My brother has mental issues. He often nags a woman and begs to date her. So I sent him to the hospital. I only received the news today that he had run out on his own. Now I want to take him back to the hospital.â
Lu Ming looked at her and paused for a moment. Then he said, âItâs my family matter. What has it got to do with you?â
The sudden turn of events stunned the onlookers for a few seconds.?âThese two are actually brothers?â?they thought.
They looked at Lu Ze and then at Lu Ming. They looked alike but not quite alike. Moreover, according to the other party, his younger brother was crazy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Judging from his behavior just now, he seemed like a normal person. There was nothing wrong with him. But looking at him now, he did look a little silly.
âSo how credible are this personâs words?â?they wondered.
The auntie sized Lu Ming up suspiciously and said, âDo you have evidence? Anyone canâ¦â
âIs this alright?â
Lu Ming took out his identity card. The date of birth, name, and birthplace were clearly written on it.
The person beside him craned his head, trying to read the words.
âDid anyone see clearly? I was too far away to see clearly.â
âI saw the first line clearly. He has the same surname as that rich second-generation heir. Itâs probably close to the mark. They should be brothers.â
âIn other words, is what this person said true? Itâs really not good to have such a crazy brother!â
â¦
The woman in the floral blouse looked at the identity card for a long time and said doubtfully. âDo you have any other proof?â
