Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 924 He knew everything?

"boom--"

The door was kicked open from the outside.

A figure slowly approached from the darkness. Because of the light coming from inside the room, Lu Zhaolin and his son immediately saw Lu Jianshe's icy, expressionless face.

"Uncle, Uncle, Uncle..."

Lu Shengying, being young, was the first to lose her composure and retreat in a panic.

Lu Jianshe didn't look at him, his gaze was fixed on Lu Zhaolin, and he slowly walked until the two were only an arm's length apart before stopping.

He carefully examined every inch of Lu Zhaolin's face, his confusion outweighing his grief.

This is indeed his younger brother; there's no sign of him being disguised. But why, why does he seem so unfamiliar?

He spoke, his throat dry and hoarse as if covered in grains of sand, each word a painful grinding, "Why?"

Lu Zhaolin couldn't be sure how much Lu Jianshe had heard, and still wanted to salvage the situation, so he forced a smile and said, "Brother, what are you asking? What do you mean by 'why'? I know you're probably angry that Sheng Ying said some things he just made up, but don't worry, didn't I just warn him not to tell anyone? You don't need to worry."

Lu Jianshe's anger surged. "Are you threatening me?"

"How could that be? Brother, you're overthinking it. We're brothers. How could I stand by and do nothing if something happens to you? I'm just thinking of you."

Lu Jianshe came here today to expose the utterly hypocritical facade of kinship between them, so naturally he wouldn't let Lu Jianshe fool him with just a few words.

He turned and strode to a chair, sat down, slammed the file folder on the table, and scoffed:

"Hehe, what a nice way of thinking about me. Are you worried that all your years of planning will be ruined? What, you're hoping that I can succeed so that you and your son will benefit even more?"

Lu Zhaolin, I never realized you were so cunning. My son and I risked our lives to earn merit, while you and your son reaped the benefits effortlessly.

Now that they've discovered there are even greater profits to be made, they're even willing to let me try things that defy public opinion.

If I had known you had this reckless ambition, you should have joined the army. Otherwise, you would definitely be in a higher position than me now!

Being a mere university professor is such a waste of his talent!

No matter how flustered Lu Zhaolin was inside, his outward demeanor was impeccable.

First, he was shocked and confused, then his face turned angry, and he pointed at Lu Jianshe with a trembling expression, looking extremely heartbroken.

"Brother, how could you say that? My feelings for you and for Shengchao are genuine..."

However, it would have been better if he hadn't mentioned Lu Shengchao. When Lu Jianshe heard that he had even brought up his deceased son, he lost all his remaining rationality and grabbed the teapot on the table, smashing it hard.

Lu Zhaolin instinctively dodged.

"Snapped--"

The teapot fell to the ground with a crash, shattering into pieces and leaving a water stain on the floor.

Lu Zhaolin called out urgently, "Big Brother..."

"you shut up!"

Lu Jianshe suddenly stood up, his movement so forceful that the chair behind him slid off with a "whoosh".

"How dare you mention Shengchao? Do you really consider him your nephew? He respected and loved you so much, treating you like a father. But what about you? You cold-blooded beast, not only did you kill him, but you've also been using his kindness to seek benefits from me!"

Lu Zhaolin, oh Lu Zhaolin, how can you be so heartless? He's your own nephew!

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaolin could no longer hide his expression. How could he know?
