Chapter 582

“Dylan Lu . “

A moment of silence dawned on the interrogation and monitoring room . Ethan Lu could hardly process Dylan Lu’s involvement into this .

Deep down, he had suspected that his cousin was involved . However, confirming it had still took him some time to process the information .

“I see . . . ” Nodding her head, Churu turned to the mirror where Ethan Lu was watching them . “You got your answer . ” She said in a matter-of-fact tone .

After that, Churu turned to the man and smiled . “Thank you,” with that, Churu stood from her seat and left the man who was reflecting on his future .

“Master . . . ” Glancing at Ethan Lu’s back, Lyrick Jiang’s shocked eyes had a worried glint flashed across his eyes .

“Still check who were the other D’s and . . . ” without turning to Lyrick Jiang, Ethan Lu’s shoulder trembled . “Look through Dylan’s activity and his connection to the black market . I’ll give Lou a call . ”

“Yes,” Lyrick Jiang stared at Ethan Lu’s back for a second before he nodded his head and left to execute the order .

When Ethan Lu was left alone inside the room, his chest heaved heavily . His hands trembled as it balled into a fist .

“Dylan . . . ” He muttered through his gritted teeth . He should have seen this through from way back .

The odd behavior Dylan Lu did in the past . Ethan Lu and Edward Lu shouldn’t have turn a blind eye on his minor misconduct . Now, those little misbehavior was now causing major trouble . His cousin, Dylan Lu was now coming at him — ready to take Ethan Lu’s life away and Lexi’s .

“Grandpa . . . ” just the thought of the things that might happen in the coming days, Ethan Lu was reminded of his grandfather . “I’m sorry,” he whispered as he hanged his head low .

To Ethan Lu, he wasn’t the favorite or dotted grandson . Sure, he was proclaimed as the Lu family heir . However, the burden of being the family head was overwhelmingly heavy .

Dylan Lu having the spotlight away from him was their grandfather’s way of protecting him . He was a bright child; unlike Ethan Lu whose parent’s were cruel and selfish — Dylan Lu was raised by a loving mother .

Dennis Lu might have his shortcomings and had several affairs behind his wife, but he never showed how rotten he was in front of his only son . Hence, Edward Lu was satisfied enough that he could keep Dylan Lu’s innocence while enjoying the privilege of being a Lu .

Why couldn’t his cousin realize that? What pushed him to have ambitions that would only destroy their family’s already strained relationship?

Ethan Lu could not understand . He had been kind and lenient towards them and yet, they kept on wanting more . Ethan Lu didn’t know what to feel about this anymore as there had been too much emotions circling around his heart .

It was making his head buzz, slightly losing his composure and causing his knees to weaken . This whole fiasco was draining . . . truly draining .

Just then, Ethan Lu felt his phone from inside his suit pocket vibrated . He weakly slid his hands inside and picked his phone up without checking the caller .

“Love?” From the other end of the line, Lexi’s voice came after a few second of silence .

“Hmm?” Humming a tune, Ethan Lu sat on a chair as he pinched the space between his brows . His head was throbbing and he could feel the pain slowly building up every passing second .

“Are you alright?” Sensing the oddness of her husband’s heavy breaths, Lexi knitted her brows . “Are you feeling unwell because of the accident? Where are you?” Worried laced her voice, as she recalled that Ethan Lu had nearly had an accident earlier that day .

“I, I don’t know, love . “

“Where are you? I’ll pick you up . ” Determined to see him as soon as possible, Lexi paused from preparing herself to depart from Beauty DR as she waited for his response .

“Hmmm, police station . “

“Okay, I’ll be picking you up . ” Without a second delay, Lexi didn’t let him refuse as she instantly ended the call and departed her office .

She knew that her husband has been on a lot of stress . He worries about the company, her safety and the twins, the yang parent’s security, and then his life .

Therefore, as his energy booster, Lexi would rush to him regardless of what time of the day it was or how busy her schedule was if he needed her . That’s the least she could do for him in this situation .

Meanwhile, Ethan Lu only heard the beeping sound from the phone as the line ended abruptly . “Ahh . . . I made her worry again . ” He muttered as he ruffled his hair out of frustration .

“Alas . . . ” He said, covering his eyes by his palm as he looked down, “I really need her . ” He whispered before silence fell on the whole monitoring room once again .

*****

Half an hour later . . . inside Ethan Lu’s vehicle .

“Master, Nico said he found a lead where Miss Chen’s brother was staying . However, he was still unsure if her brother was still there or not . ” From the driver’s seat, Lyrick Jiang reported as soon as Nico Zhuang updated his status .

Alas, Lyrick Jiang heard nothing but silence from the back passenger seat . Glancing at the rear mirror, Lyrick Jiang noticed that his master had been silent ever since the man’s confession . Ethan Lu had kept his eyes shut while he wait for Lexi to arrive .

Just then, the heard a knock from outside and Lexi peeking inside . As usual, Lyrick Jiang hitched out and he greeted Lexi with a bow .

“Madam,”

“Where’s he?” Taking a step back from the door, Lexi gaze over at Lyrick Jiang’s haggard front .

As soon as she asked about her husband, Ethan Lu departed the car . “I’ll ride with her . ” Without turning to look at Lyrick Jiang, Ethan Lu flatly informed before he dragged Lexi back to her car .

“Ah, love?” Surprised by the dark mood surrounding around her husband, Lexi tilted her head to the side as he drag him towards her car . When they stopped, Ethan Lu turned to him .

“I’m just tired and I want to have an alone time with you . ” Unlike his usual gentleness, Ethan Lu’s eyes bore thirst; thirst for peace of mind .

“Okay . . . ” nodding in understanding, Lexi leaned forward as she left a peck on his lips . “I’ll drive . ” She whispered before she opened the door and hitched inside .
