Chapter 333 - Is there anything he can't do?

Master Li knew that his discord must have been successfully sown. He pushed a little further. "Perhaps we share the same fate. He must be feeling guilty because of something that happened that's why he wants to kick you out."

"Really? What makes you think so? If someone feels guilty, they should try to please people, right?"

"Perhaps he is tired of butteribg up to you? I've seen that happen many times. Second young master, I don't want to appear to be sowing discord between you and President Lu. After all he has treated you like a full blood brother all these years."

Although his well planned words seemed to be getting him out of an awkward situation, they were meant to make Lu Shaoting know his place. He was not and would never be Lu Aotian's brother. They were cousins.

"Luckily second master is very kind. If anyone else was wearing your shoe, they would have fought for the company long ago…Urgh. Don't listen to my nonsense. I must be so drunk that I'm spewing so much nonsense."

Lu Shaoting smiled evilly. "It's just an opinion. Don't worry, I don't mind. I just don't have the heart to go against the person who has always protected me. If not...urgh"

Hearing that Lu Shaoting didn't mind and even seemed to have split opinions about Lu Aotian, he asked a question he had been ordered to ask. "I don't know if it's true but I heard your father was the eldest son of Elder Master Lu?"

"That's true." Lu Shaoting didn't mind being asked that.

"Then I wonder why Lu Aotian was the one who took over the company and not you? You are not the eldest grandson but Lu Aotian isn't either. Your father had another son. I wonder why he didn't take over the company." Master Li asked in the tone of an elder opening the eyes of the young ones.

"What are you driving at?" Lu Shaoting forced a chuckle. His biological father's son died when Mo Zilian betrayed the family. Even if he was still alive, he may not have been a good leader like Lu Aotian. He didn't think that way just because he had been in good terms with Lu Aotian all his life. It was the truth.

"Perhaps you don't know some things because you were just a teen when your grandfather passed. However, I heard many rumors back then." Li continued. 

"What rumors?"

"It's just strange that Old Master Lu's condition wasn't that bad and his injuries would have healed but when President Lu went to see him, he suddenly passed all his company shares to him and died just like that. Don't you find it inexplicable? Who is to say he didn't do something to the old man?"

Lu Shaoting chuckled. He had heard this rumor many times in the past. However, he knew that his brother wouldn't have done anything. Aside from all the love he had for their grandfather, no one knew but he was also in that room when it happened.

"Master Li, thanks for opening my eyes." He said, feigning gratefulness.S 

Master Li had an expression that said, you don't have to thank me. I've been forced to do this.

Suddenly, Lu Shaoting stared at his ear. "Master Li, what's that on your ear?"

The man tensed up. "What's what? There's nothing on my ear."

"I see." Lu Shaoting stood calmly and pulled something from Master Li's ears. "Have you been receiving instructions? What you said just now..."

Master Li shook. Yun Jifeng who was talking to him had already hung up. "S-second master, it's not what you think. What I said just now is the truth. I witnessed it with my own eyes."

Lu Shaoting sneered, let go of him and walked out. Mater Li couldn't believe what just happened. He had been let off? Perhaps it was because the news was so huge that he didn't have time to react to other things. Yes, that must be the case.

…

In his car, Lu Shaoting sent his brother a message. [I trapped him.]

Lu Aotian listened to the recording from Thirty and sent a reply. [Well done.]

In his office, his expression was dark. Master Li really wanted to die. How dare he accuse him of such monstrous acts? He even dragged Lu Tongyan into the mud. Although he was being forced, Lu Aotian would never forgive him. When Yun Jifeng approached him, he had the option to tell Lu Aotian that he was being blackmailed. Since he didn't believe in his superior and decided to betray his company, he may as well perish with that family.

…

Lu Shaoting put his phone away and looked at the minuscule kitten robot on his passenger seat. It was now almost as small as a thumb. He switched off the recording function. "My brother sure is impressive. If he was able to make you register my voice and record conversations made by me from such a long distance, not to mention link you with Thirty, is there anything he can't do? He even managed to make you so small that no one can tell you are a robot. Forget about your creator. Even I wouldn't be able to achieve such a feat in ten lifetimes."

He felt Master Li's death wasn't too far away. Out of all people he could provoke, he just had to provoke Lu Aotian.
