In a private room of a teahouse, Lin Qingqing met the child adopted by the Lu family for the first time.

Although he is nearly forty, apart from the composure of an adult and a capitalist, he looks almost like a young man.

Lu Cheng's first reaction upon seeing Lin Qingqing was to frown. He then sat down opposite her, looking at the young, naive girl with a hint of displeasure: "Didn't you say that Grandma Lin wanted to meet me? Who are you?"

If an ordinary person were to invite Lu Cheng, given Lu Cheng's current status and position, he certainly wouldn't be able to get them to come.

Lin Qingqing then said that it was an invitation from Old Madam Lin.

She smiled and poured herself a cup of tea: "The old lady is suddenly feeling unwell and didn't want to stand you up, so she sent me to deliver some messages to you."

"What?"

"She said she knows everything you've done in private. She hopes you'll behave yourself and not get yourself into trouble. You already have enough in the Lu family. People should be content with what they have, otherwise you might not be able to keep what you have now."

Lu Cheng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. Since the old lady isn't here, I won't drink this tea. Please also pass on a message for me: the old lady isn't feeling well, so she should rest more and not worry about unnecessary things, as it could worsen her condition."

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lin Qingqing pursed her lips; he was quite arrogant.

No wonder they dared to kill Lu Zeyan's parents and deceive Lu Zeyan into targeting their Qin family.

She put down her teacup, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Assistant Wu: "Start sending people to follow Lu Cheng now."

If too much time has passed and no evidence can be found, she might as well create new evidence herself.

Once Lu Cheng left the private room, he couldn't be arrogant anymore. Why was that old lady, who deserved to die, now targeting him?

However… Lu Cheng had only taken a few steps when he quickly turned back to the private room: “What’s your relationship with Old Madam Lin?”

His gaze swept over Lin Qingqing's face several times.

It's so similar, so much like the young Lin Qingqing he saw when he was a child.

As far as he knew, there was no such person in the Qin family.

Lin Qingqing chuckled softly, leaning back in her chair with a relaxed posture, and said slowly, "You're a little slower to react than I expected. Actually, I am Grandma Lin. Haven't you always wanted the chip? It's inside my body, and it can even reverse aging. Isn't that amazing? I know you've always wanted to get this chip to realize your greater ambitions, but if you take me away now, you can get the chip in my head."

Lu Cheng felt this was utter nonsense, an attempt to provoke him into doing something that would throw him off balance. He calmly looked at Lin Qingqing: "Don't try to fool me. As far as I know, the Qin family hasn't even finished researching their chip yet. And, rejuvenation? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a clumsy lie."

If the chip could really achieve that effect, he would definitely get his hands on it even if it meant risking his life and using every means at his disposal. But he was being rational and wouldn't believe the nonsense the girl in front of him was spouting.

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he moved closer to Lin Qingqing, his eyes filled with a threatening look: "But actually, even if you don't have the chip in your head, I can still take you away, to a place where even the Qin family can't find you. Do you believe me?"

Lin Qingqing believed it, but she believed even more that Lu Cheng wouldn't do anything to cause himself unnecessary trouble when he was about to succeed.

……

Meanwhile, in another private room...

Lu Zeyan covered his purple lips, looked at the furious Qin Jingxu, and didn't fight back or show any anger: "Have you vented your anger?"

"Why did you do this? Why did you want to harm the Qin family? Didn't you always say you were my best friend?!"

Qin Jingxu grabbed Lu Zeyan by the collar, his face filled with barely suppressed anger. He couldn't accept being deceived for so long, especially by someone he had treated with sincerity.

He had tried to meet with Lu Zeyan several times before, wanting to find out the reason, but Lu Zeyan had avoided meeting him. This time, Lu Zeyan finally agreed to meet, and he was determined to find out why Lu Zeyan treated him this way and hated the Qin family so much.

Just as Qin Jingxu was about to deliver his third punch, Lu Zeyan slowly spoke:

"No matter how many times you ask, my answer is always the same: I did not harm your Qin family. You are my good brother, how could I possibly harm you? It is your elder brother who is sowing discord between us. He wants to leave you with no way out! He just doesn't want me to help you, which is why he has framed me time and time again!"

Last time, he even had someone steal our Lu Group's cooperative project with the Jiang family. I was the real victim. How can you still believe your older brother! Can't you wake up! Look closely all these years and see who has truly been good to you? What has your older brother done for you all these years? How many times have I helped you? Is all that I've done less valuable than a few words from Qin Yansen, who has always treated you like trash?

Lu Zeyan looked at Qin Jingxu with deep disappointment: "Tell me honestly, in the past ten years, how have I wronged you in any way?"

Qin Jingxu clenched his fists, and hesitated after hearing these words.

Lu Zeyan did help him a lot, and was his best friend in the world besides his grandmother. Lu Zeyan stood up for him countless times when he was bullied.

How do you interpret that evidence?

"They conspired together to frame me!"

After a moment, Qin Jingxu sneered: "Frame you? Look at this!"

Qin Jingxu took out his phone and showed Lu Zeyan some information.

After reading it, Lu Zeyan's expression was no longer as calm as before.

"Is this also a frame-up?" Qin Jingxu said slowly, "These are all things I investigated a few days ago, the information of those people you bribed, and your transaction records with them. Every transaction overlaps with the timeline of those events in my memory. Do you have anything else to say?"

With all the evidence laid out before him, Lu Zeyan didn't know where to begin when he wanted to argue.

He didn't expect that Qin Jingxu would become suspicious of the past and investigate it as well.

Qin Jingxu continued, "Over the years, you've seemed to be helping me, but in reality, those who made things difficult for me were hired by you. You pretended to be a hero and befriended me, gradually making me believe that there wasn't a single good person in my family, and that they all wanted to harm me. Is this what you call helping me and being good to me? You're just using shameless means to achieve your true goals, and I'm just a tool in your hands!"

Qin Jingxu snatched back the phone and punched Lu Zeyan a few more times. The waiters outside heard that something was wrong and quickly sent someone over to stop him. Lin Qingqing, who came out of the private room, happened to see this scene.
