Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 582 - 580: Hesitation [First Update]
CHAPTER 582: CHAPTER 580: HESITATION [FIRST UPDATE]
At this moment in the Lu Family, Lu Xiaobu had gotten up unusually early.
Because Housekeeper Jia had come to their home and spoken of the plan arranged by Lin Feng.
"So, Lin Feng only arranged for you to lure Lin Lie here, without specifying any follow-up plan?"
Liang Lan raised a question.
"Yes, he didn’t say anything."
Housekeeper Jia shook his head as he spoke.
"Mm, I understand now."
Lu Xiaobu nodded to signal that he understood.
The reason Lin Feng didn’t tell Housekeeper Jia was because he was afraid that if Housekeeper Jia was captured, the rest of the plan would be leaked.
Of course, there was another reason, which was that Lin Feng knew Lu Xiaobu could definitely guess his plan!
"Lin Feng, you really are..."
Lu Xiaobu gazed deeply at Housekeeper Jia, who felt a chill run down his spine without knowing why.
"Li Jin, have you located Lin Lie?"
Lu Xiaobu asked Li Jin.
"Yes, the target is currently headed towards the Lin Family’s branch company."
Li Jin replied.
"Good, let’s set off." Lu Xiaobu nodded, then looked deeply again at Housekeeper Jia and said, "Housekeeper Jia, please come with us too."
"Yes, Young Master Lu!"
Although Housekeeper Jia didn’t understand what use he still had, he nodded and agreed.
They got into the car.
Lu Xiaobu was unusually quiet the whole trip!
This puzzled Liang Lan and the others; they thought the Young Master should be giving them orders by now, so why was he remaining silent this time?!
What they didn’t know was that Lu Xiaobu was hesitating in his heart.
The hesitation was not about someone else, but about Housekeeper Jia.
Perhaps Housekeeper Jia thought that Lin Feng had sent him to find Lu Xiaobu in order to save him.
But in reality, he had only guessed half right, and the other half was for him to make his final contribution!
Because today’s plan had two options!
First, find Lin Lie, kill him! Pin the responsibility on Housekeeper Jia, and then silence him!
In this way, there would be no witness, but the Lin Family would not be so foolish as to believe it.
However, even if they didn’t believe it, this matter wasn’t just between Lu Xiaobu and Lin Tianshen anymore; it also involved Lin Feng’s problem.
Thus, Lin Feng could use this to get out of the family temple!
Once he was out, many things would be easier to handle!
Lu Xiaobu believed, perhaps cold-bloodedly, that this was absolutely what Lin Feng wanted Lu Xiaobu to do the most.
Simple, brutal, direct, efficient!
However, the second method was more troublesome.
Save Housekeeper Jia’s life, then kill Lin Lie, and also make the Lin Family fall into endless trouble, trouble that no one but Lin Feng could solve.
This way, the desired effect could also be achieved.
The first method was simple and quick, but it demanded the life of the loyal Housekeeper Jia.
The second was troublesome, very troublesome, but it could save a life!
At this thought, Lu Xiaobu unconsciously looked at Housekeeper Jia once again.
That look thoroughly terrified Housekeeper Jia: "Young Master Lu, if you have something to say, just say it! I can hardly bear it!"
Lu Xiaobu didn’t respond, but continued to keep silent.
At this moment, Liang Lan reached out and gently massaged Lu Xiaobu’s temples, saying, "Young Master, is there something you can’t decide? How about flipping a coin?"
"Sure."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Lu Xiaobu’s eyes lit up; it might be a good idea.
He immediately took out a coin and tossed it into the air!
The coin flew out, and except for Zhang Meng who was driving, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the coin that kept spinning in the air.
They didn’t know what this coin was deciding.
Especially Housekeeper Jia, who was unaware that this coin was determining his life or death!
"Whiz whiz whiz!"
The coin tumbled down while spinning.
Lu Xiaobu stared at the coin, lost in a daze.
"Clap!"
Lu Xiaobu caught the coin, and everyone’s gaze focused on Lu Xiaobu’s hand.
They all awaited the moment when Lu Xiaobu would reveal the result.
And at this moment.
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Lu Xiaobu suddenly burst into laughter, rolled down the car window, and tossed the coin whose side was unknown out of it!
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned.
What did this mean?
Wasn’t the decision supposed to be made by flipping the coin?
Why was it thrown away now?
"Young Master, what is this?"
Liang Lan was puzzled.
"Sister Lan, do you know something? The truth is, the moment the coin is flung into the air, we already know the answer! I am the same; since I already know my answer, why do I need a coin for comfort?!"
Lu Xiaobu’s previous hesitation was swept away.
He regained his usual lazy and domineering gaze and said calmly, "I am, after all, not Lin Feng!"
That’s right, the moment the coin was tossed, he knew he had chosen the second option.
If he allowed Housekeeper Jia to become the sacrifice, he would never be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life.
He was, after all, not Lin Feng!
"Alright, Housekeeper Jia, you can go down now! Go home!"
Lu Xiaobu looked at Housekeeper Jia and said.
"Yes, Young Master Lu."
Housekeeper Jia was utterly confused, having no idea what this meant.
He was suddenly asked to get in the car, and now just as inexplicably told to go back?
Of course, he would not know that he had narrowly escaped offering up his loyalty and courage for eternity!
Once Housekeeper Jia left.
"In a bit, Zhang Meng and I will go up. Everyone else stays in the car, no matter what happens you are not allowed to come out!" Lu Xiaobu ordered sternly.
"Yes!"
The others were puzzled, but still agreed.
They arrived at the location, and Lin Lie’s car was at the entrance, it looked like he had gone up!
"Zhang Meng, let’s get out of the car."
Lu Xiaobu arranged.
"Yes."
Zhang Meng replied.
The two walked towards the building.
In the elevator, Lu Xiaobu said to Zhang Meng, "Later on, you just need to hold off the others, I’ll handle Lin Lie. And remember, no matter what happens, do not intervene!"
"Young Master?!"
Zhang Meng’s heart skipped a beat uneasily.
He had a bad feeling.
"Follow the order!"
Lu Xiaobu looked at Zhang Meng sternly: "Remember, no matter what happens, even if I’m about to be beaten to death! You cannot lift a finger, understand?!"
"Young Master, you!"
Zhang Meng was even more anxious!
"Follow the order!"
Lu Xiaobu repeated.
"Yes!"
Zhang Meng had no choice but to comply, but the cloud of doubt in his heart grew thicker—what on earth was the Young Master planning to do?!
The elevator continued to ascend.
The Lin Family company was on the seventeenth floor.
Lu Xiaobu asked the system in his mind: "System, if I jump down from the seventeenth floor with my Charging Shield, will I die?!"
The system was taken aback by Lu Xiaobu’s question: "What are you planning to do?!"
"Answer my question."
Lu Xiaobu said calmly.
"You won’t, your Shield has already been upgraded, you’ll be fine now! But seriously, what the hell are you trying to do?!"
The system asked with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
"Do what needs to be done."
Lu Xiaobu smiled without saying a word!
