However, Lu Yanchen once again dodged nimbly and returned a roundhouse kick with a spin to Shi Ze that sent him slamming down the ground.

Knowing that there was no way he could beat Lu Yanchen, Shi Ze just stayed on the ground without getting up and scoffed coldly, “Beat me then... Best if you beat me to death, RIGHTEOUS Young Master Lu.”

Lu Yanchen looked down at him in clear disdain. “Beating you to death would just be dirtying my hands.”

Instantly, Shi Ze frowned with a black face. “But, Mr. Righteous Young Master Lu, violence seems to be the only thing you can resort to.”

“Be it physically or mentally, you’re not my match.” Lu Yanchen mocked. “You really thought that I wouldn’t have any backup plans when you asked me to head to the rooftop... just like back then at River Hucheng, so that I could be pushed down by you into the waters unprepared? All these years, I know that you’ve been imbalanced mentally, and would definitely find a way to vent out that frustration. If not at your engagement with Su Qianxun, it would definitely be elsewhere. Rather than avoiding you, I might as well let things happen at a place I’m prepared.”

In reality, the reason why Lu Yanchen had arranged for people to attend the banquet was so that Shi Guang could be protected—he was afraid that Shi Ze might strike at her. And just in case, he even arranged for aerial photography so that he could know the people who were attending and leaving the banquet.

But, Shi Ze was less despicable than he had expected, and had not laid his hands on Shi Guang.

At the same time, Shi Ze hated him more than he had expected too... such that he would try and recreate the same plight his father was in back then.

But somehow, Lu Yanchen felt that this plan was far from perfect—it didn’t seem like it was something that Shi Ze had plotted for such a long time.

“How long have you planned it for?” Lu Yanchen was trying to test the waters with that question.

“Not too long.” Shi Ze snorted coldly.

Lu Yanchen did not believe him. “This shouldn’t have been your original plan, right?”

Shi Ze’s face froze momentarily—how did Lu Yanchen know?

A single look at Shi Ze’s face confirmed Lu Yanchen’s suspicions. After he found out about Shi Ze’s relationship with Yan Zi, a possibility came to mind.

“Your original plan involved Mo Feifei, am I right?” Even though Lu Yanchen was still testing the waters, he spoke with a tone of certainty.

Shi Ze’s expression did not change as he gulped. Right away, Lu Yanchen sent a kick flying to him.

He had thought that Shi Ze was not despicable enough... but he was even more venomous than Lu Yanchen had given him credit for!

It was a flurry of kicks that Lu Yanchen landed on Shi Ze.

Those violent and feral strikes did not resemble the usually calm and aloof Young Master Lu at all as Shi Ze could only cover his head and roll on the ground in pain!

To think that everything would have been guessed by Lu Yanchen... this beast!

Through Yang Sitong and Su Ya, Yan Zi knew that Mo Feifei was about to undergo surgery, and would eventually wake up one day. With that, they then planned to use Mo Feifei as a means to take revenge on Lu Yanchen!

They had gotten someone to inject a medicine that would cause Mo Feifei’s memories to deteriorate beforehand.

As long as she were to wake up, she would definitely not know who she was. And even if she did, they would make her forget—their aim was to make her hate Lu Yanchen!

If Mo Feifei were to fall from a building, it would have been caused by Lu Yanchen. For him to murder the sister of his dearest lover, that would guarantee that his entire life would be devoid of happiness!

That would have been the true perfect epitome of his plan.

But, that car accident caused Mo Feifei to disappear.

Everything that he had planned with Yan Zi dissipated just like that, and eventually, it was replaced with Wu Xing—someone who had a past grudge with Lu Yanchen.

At the end of the day, he had lost to luck and a slight underestimation of Lu Yanchen.
