Chapter 926 Why Couldn't It Be a Little Later!
Having said all that, Lu Zhaolin had no more reason to pretend. His usually gentle and kind eyes turned sinister and vicious in an instant, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at Lu Jianshe.
"It really was a case of all that effort going wrong. You've been so muddle-headed for so many years, how did you suddenly become so shrewd?"
Why couldn't it have been any later!
These words were tantamount to Lu Zhaolin fully admitting to Lu Jianshe's accusations against him. Lu Shengying, who was as transparent as a ghost, was already terrified by their conversation. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Driven by fear, he almost immediately crawled toward Lu Jianshe, sobbing and pleading, "Uncle, Uncle, calm down, we're all family."
Lu Jianshe kicked him away, his voice hoarse as if each word was a cry of blood, "Wrong, it's you who have never treated me like family! I want to kill you all right now, kill you all, kill you all!!"
"That's not how it is, that's not how it is!" Lu Shengying was kicked away but immediately scrambled back up. "I didn't know anything about those things, I really didn't know!"
"So what if you don't know? You're still ambitious enough to want everything I have! You're all heartless beasts! Beasts!" Lu Jianshe roared and cursed.
Lu Shengying had no way to refute it, and could only kneel on the ground trembling and beg for forgiveness.
Lu Zhaolin couldn't stand his son's incompetence, so he kicked him again, yelling, "Useless thing, get out of here!"
Then he drew a gun from his waist and pointed it at Lu Jianshe, saying, "Why did you have to find out all this? Wouldn't it be better if everyone just lived peacefully like before?"
"Tch, you really are incorrigible! Even now you're blaming others for exposing your disguise!" Lu Jianshe was so angry that he trembled all over, barely managing to stay upright by holding onto the table.
"Fine, I admit you're right. I have nothing more to say now, but it's a shame you and your son are both useless!" Lu Zhaolin said, about to fire his gun, when Lu Jianshe suddenly threw a punch.
Caught off guard, his gun was knocked to the ground, and he was then punched several times in the face.
Lu Jianshe, being a former soldier, possessed exceptional physical abilities, and despite his age, he still managed to overpower Lu Zhaolin, leaving him no chance to retaliate.
He could only plead with Lu Shengying for help, "Are you crazy? Hurry up and save me!"
Lu Shengying looked at Lu Jianshe, who was almost going crazy. His long-accumulated fear caused the malice hidden deep in his heart to be magnified little by little. His originally empty and helpless eyes slowly turned into ruthlessness. When his eyes swept over the gun that had fallen not far away, he impulsively crawled over and picked it up.
Lu Shengying had never actually fired a gun before, and now her hands were trembling so badly she could barely hold it. All she could do was shout repeatedly, "Stop! I told you to stop!"
Lu Jianshe stopped moving as a result, and Lu Zhaolin seized the opportunity to push him away, get up, and quickly take the gun back into his own hands. This time, he did not hesitate and immediately pulled the trigger.
"Brother, accept your fate!"
However, someone was faster than him. Just before the bullet was about to leave the barrel, a bullet suddenly struck his wrist, causing the shot that was supposed to hit Lu Jianshe's heart to deviate and hit his arm instead.
"Don't move!" Immediately afterwards, a large group of armed men rushed in and quickly subdued Lu Zhaolin and his son.
Zhou Yichen entered a step later, looking down at Lu Zhaolin who was still in a daze, and said, "You're under arrest for espionage!"
"This is……"
The series of unexpected events left Lu Zhaolin somewhat stunned, but he quickly glared at Lu Jianshe, "You actually collaborated with that Zhou guy to harm me?"
"Harm you? Lu Zhaolin, you really live too selfishly. You've done so many evils, this should be called reaping what you sowed!" Lu Jianshe retorted coldly, then looked at Zhou Yichen, having to admit that he was indeed indebted to him.
"Thank you, whether it was for revealing the truth about what happened back then or for saving my life just now, I am very grateful."
Zhou Yichen was not surprised that Lu Jianshe would guess that this was a trap he had set for him. He nodded noncommittally, ordered the man to be taken away, and then said, "Comrade Chief Lu, please come with us as well!"
Lu Jianshe smiled weakly, said nothing, and followed behind without asking any questions.
