Chapter 528

Unlike what Churu expected, the medieval times underground dungeon she imagined wasn’t what welcomed her . It wasn’t being lighted by torches, there were no rusting cages or unrefined walls .

Rather, the underground base appeared to be just an extension of the house . However, though there are furniture and lounges, there were also doors that one must see to know what lies inside .

The noises Churu heard earlier, sadly, it was just the opera song resounding across the spacious hall . And yet, no inhabitant could be seen around to listen to the song . The only one in there was Louis Lu who was heading to a certain door .

When Louis Lu arrived in front of a metal door, he looked up — specifically to the CCTV . The camera slightly moved as if scanning the person standing in front of the door before a loud mechanical sound assailed their ears .

“You know, I’m getting pretty hyped up about this, only to be disappointed in the end . ” Bemused, Churu complained as she rested on Louis Lu’s shoulder and prick her nose .

Meanwhile, Louis Lu pushed the door opened, revealing an almost empty room . Though it was almost empty in furniture, there were quite a few people inside; four in total .

Two bodyguards standing on the side, one man in a suit that seemed to be in his early 40s, standing behind the chair where a man in his mid-50s perched . Although the person standing behind the chair turned to Louis Lu and slightly bowed his head, Lincoln Lu — the man sitting — kept his gaze in front of him .

Churu scrutinized their profiles before she followed the gaze where they were looking . There, a floor to length one-sided mirror that was used as a wall graced Churu’s eyes .

Unlike how tidy and spotless this place was, the other side was its complete opposite . It was a mess, a bloody mess as a man was being tortured while they watched him without remorse .

“Oh my . . . ” Churu murmured, seeing a dismembered finger on the corner of the floor . Although it wasn’t as worse than hell, it was still considered as gore to humans — and to showed no reaction as if it was a normal occurrence, Churu had second thoughts if she had done her evil services right compare to this four .

“Director Fei, a family acquaintance, and partner for years is now suffering . Give him the taste of torment, as per master’s request . ” After a minute of silence, Lincoln Lu spoke . His tone was stern and solid, not taking his eyes off from the beaten man on the other side of the transparent wall .

Director Fei was one of the directors who was proven embezzling money from the Lu Corporation and other illegal activities . Thus, now he was being punished before they would turn him in .

Regardless of how obvious his scars were, one of the advantages of the Lu Family was that they could get away from their small crimes . They don’t kill but, that doesn’t mean they never knew how to teach people a lesson in the Lu’s way .

Indeed, the Lu Family had been like these for generations . This punishment was already considered light compared to the past generations .

And speaking of tradition, since the Lu Family was vast, each core member had important roles to play . For example, Lincoln Lu’s duty was for punishing, torturing, or interrogating traitors .

Thus, the reason for a place like this . After all, even if the Lu Family go down or been tangled by a huge problem that involved the authorities, the main residence would remain clean of blood .

Although both Edward Lu and Ethan Lu didn’t have a plan to commit any mortal sin, it was still preferable to be safe than sorry .

“Tell me it wasn’t you,” Ignoring his father’s remarks, Louis Lu vaguely said . “You’re not the person behind that crash . ” He added, piercing his father’s temple by his cold gaze .

When the news about Ethan Lu’s supposed flight crashed, Louis Lu asked some of his friends in the country where Ethan Lu was, to investigate the matter . Although the information was limited, it was still enough for him to put the pieces together .

After all, Country M was filled with dangerous people — it was akin to a vast mobs’ turf where only the strong could live . And Lincoln Lu’s connection there was considered vast .

“Does it matter if it was me or not?” Slowly, Lincoln Lu turned his head at Louis Lu . Aside from his thick straight brows, and few visible wrinkles, Lincoln Lu seemed to be just the older version of Louis Lu .

“What’s important was that he’s alive isn’t it?” He shrugged, not giving clear answers to his inquiring son .

“So, are you the one orchestrated it?” Flying forward, Churu asserted for clear answers because that’s her purpose here .

Louis Lu studied his father’s front . If he was a stranger, he wouldn’t be able to spot the hint . Never once his father admitted to doing things, yet he had the habit of tapping his finger on the armchair as if he was playing the piano .

He only does that whenever he was amused by twisting the truth . Hence, Louis Lu got his answer despite not hearing it from his father’s mouth .

“Son, don’t interfere with my business if you don’t want me interfering with your life . ” Lincoln Lu returned his eyes to the poor state of Director Fei . “You don’t want me near my grandson, after all . ” He added, which made Louis Lu tightened his jaw .

“Your ambition will lead you nowhere . ” Louis Lu warned, which was replied by a meek scoff . “Ethan is not a child anymore — don’t tell me I didn’t warn you . ” Despite the arrogance of his father, Louis Lu warned him one last time .

For a second, Ethan Lu’s image and his cold tone flashed across Louis Lu’s eyes . “I’ll make him accompany Satan,” words of Ethan Lu once again rang in his head .

“I appreciate your visit, son . ” Without glancing at his son, Lincoln Lu’s lips curled into a sneer . “If you may, I am still in the middle of executing our master’s orders,” said Lincoln before Louis Lu left after piercing him with glaring daggers .
