Chapter 391 - More scheming than he thought

The next morning, Wan Jia saw her husband and brother-in-law off. Before they boarded, Lu Aotian received a call from Lu Enterprises.

"Is everything alright?" Wan Jia asked when he suddenly looked distressed.

"No. One of the old partners barged into the company, demanding for a meeting. He claims it's urgent."

"You just go ahead. I'll meet him on your behalf." She kissed his cheek and left.

"Thank you." He said after her. Even the heavens were helping them. He was wondering how to get her to leave but this happened at the right time. He was going to ask his father to deal with that person but Wan Jia could as well handle him.

When she left, Xia Rou appeared,her face covered in a scarf.

She handed a small storage device to Lu Aotian. "This is it. You will find both coordinates here. However, you have to be careful. This place has zero sense of security. People harm and kill as they please. It's basically a haven of criminals."

Lu Shaoting spoke up. "Are you sure that's where he is hiding? Perhaps he got other hiding places over the years?"

Xia Rou gave him a serious look. "He will be there."

"Thank you." Lu Aotian said.

"Wait, someone sent me a voice recording a few days ago. I'm thinking you could manipulate it and use it against him."

Lu Aotian received the recording pen and played it, then turned it off. "If you don't mind, I'll use it in court."

"I was waiting for you to say that. Actually, it means nothing on its own. But if it's accompanied by other pieces of evidence for murder, it becomes irrefutable."

Lu Shaoting shook his head. This Xia Rou was more scheming than he thought.

"I'll go back if there's nothing else."

"Mmh. Don't let Wanwan know. I don't want her to be worried."

"Okay."

As soon as Xia Rou left the airport, Lu Aotian looked ahead, then he turned and started walking in the opposite direction.

"We're not boarding? It's only fifteen minutes to our boarding time. we will miss our flight if we go anywhere else. Where are you going?" Lu Shaoting asked as he tried to catch up.

"Who said we were taking this flight?"

"You asked Cheng to book it."

"I said to book the earliest flight. I didn't say we will take it."

Lu Shaoting was speechless.

"Hurry up. We're taking the helicopter to Country G." Lu Aotian urged.

"We're not going by sea either?" Lu Shaoting didn't understand his brother's reasoning either.

"If we don't take the flight, even a kid in elementary school will guess that we will take a ship."

"But going through Country G, isn't that wasting a lot of time?"

"Who said we are going anywhere else?"

"I don't understand you anymore." Lu Shaoting lamented.

Lu Aotian smiled. If even his own brother got confused, then he had successfully confused the mole.

In a few seconds, Lu Shaoting finally caught on what his brother was doing. "Bro, you don't have to do all this just for a traitor, do you? You can simply knock him off in one move."

Lu Aotian slowed down in his tracks. "I can. But I'm giving him the last chance to repent. We grew up with him, remember?"

Lu Shaoting remained silent. When expected to be forgiving, his brother could hold the deepest grudges. However, he could as well bury the hatchet with people you don't expect him to forgive and even give those second chances. What kind of disorder was this?

Wan Jia rushed to Lu Enterprises. The situation was worse than it sounded when it came out of Lu Aotian's mouth.

He only said that the business partner charged into Lu Enterprises and demanded to see him. How could he not tell her that he was causing a ruckus and threatening to sell his shares?

Luckily, she saw him from a distance before she entered the Lu Enterprises building. She used the hidden entrance and went through Lu Aotian's private elevator.

Once in Lu Aotian's office, the secretary was waiting for her. "Madam, you're finally here. Old Master Zhang is causing so much trouble that the other secretaries can't hold him back anymore. We can't dare to call security on him either." Her tone sounded extremely worn out and wronged.

Wan Jia could tell that the situation was much worse than it appeared. "Be good. Help me draft a document. At lunch time, you can take an extra hour off to rest."

The secretary, Carla, was overjoyed. Madam was the best! "Thank you madam, please wait a moment."

Satisfied with Wan Jia's attitude, her speed was fast. "Madam, here's your document."

Wan Jia took it with a grin. "Thank you. You can get back to work."

Leaving the office, Wan Jia walked into the elevator and went to the lobby, where Old Master Zhang was causing a ruckus.

"May I know what's happening?"

The elder sneered scornfully when he saw her. "I want to see the president."

Wan Jia stood in front of him calmly. "I'm sorry; the president is out dealing with some other business. Could you wait for a week, or if it's urgent, you can discuss it with me."

The man was infuriated. "Who said I came to discuss with stupid little brats like you? How do you even have the audacity to appear before me?"

Although he was being rude, Wan Jia still respected him as an elder. "Then please be patient. He will be back in a week."

"Such insolence! Is this how you treat your partners? Don't forget that I have five percent shares of Lu Enterprises. If you don't get that brat to come here, I will sell them for a cup of tea."

There he goes again, threatening people with those shares.

"Old Master Zhang, It's okay to insult me. But although you're an elder, you should respect the president." This was his last chance.
