Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were so anxious and flustered, yet they could do nothing.
Looking at the bodyguards blocking their path, they really wanted to charge past them without any care, but they also knew that with their old arms and legs, they could not.
Old Sir Zhong gestured to Zhong Minghao who was beside him.
Zhong Minghao stepped forward and spoke to the bodyguard in a gentle and polite tone, “Hello, I wonder if you could help us contact Third Young Master Lu? The girl lying inside is my niece, Zhong Niangyao. My parents are very worried about Nianyao and want to know what exactly happened.”
“That’s right,” Zhong Mingyu took a step forward, adding, “We are Nianyao’s relatives, and we should have the right to know what happened to her, right?”
On a normal day, they would never speak so nicely to a few bodyguards. However, what they were facing now were the Lu Family’s bodyguards, and the person inside was Third Young Master Lu.
Besides, they had already witnessed Third Young Master Lu’s strength just a short while ago.
The airport officials helped to maintain order, and all through the Imperial Capital, paths were cleared for him; this did not seem like something a sickly, inconspicuous person of the Lu Family could manage.
In the past, Third Young Master Lu, Lu Yichen, gave people only one impression—that of a sickly person. But today it seemed, Lu Yichen was certainly not that simple. At least, the other young masters of the Lu Family might not have been able to accomplish these things.
So now, facing these bodyguards, they did not dare to take a tough stance.
After hearing what Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu had said, one of the bodyguards walked towards the ward.
Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s faces were not looking good, partly because they were worried about Zhong Niangyao, and partly because they felt helpless, trapped here unable to do anything.
Lu Yichen sat beside the hospital bed, looking at Zhong Niangyao on the bed who looked as if she was peacefully asleep, his eyes deep and enigmatic.
He reached out a hand, involuntarily caressing Zhong Niangyao’s cheek, his voice enchanting, “You must wake up. If you don’t, I will make sure the world pays tribute to you.”
Although his tone was very gentle, the words spoke chills into the air. If someone were present to hear it, they would be able to feel that Lu Yichen was certainly not just talking but was genuinely prepared to take such action.
Zhong Niangyao on the bed, besides her pale complexion, looked extremely peaceful, as if she was merely sleeping soundly. Her appearance evoked feelings of pity in those who saw her.
At that moment, a knock on the door suddenly intruded.
Lu Yichen, with no desire to know anything else, said indifferently, “Come in.”
Quickly, the bodyguard entered, not daring to delay, and immediately conveyed the news of Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong’s arrival.
If it were anyone else, Lu Yichen probably would not even bother to pay attention.
But now, since it was Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, it was another matter entirely. He knew how important these two elders were in Zhong Niangyao’s heart. Even knowing that he would get into trouble, her last request of him was to take care of the two elders. Thus, he could not be disrespectful to them.
However, right now, he just wanted to be alone with Zhong Niangyao, not wanting anyone to disturb them.
“Let them go back to rest first!” Lu Yichen spoke indifferently, “If there is any news, I will send someone to notify them immediately.”
Without any hesitation, upon receiving the order, the bodyguard promptly left the ward.
Then, he relayed Lu Yichen’s message to Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong.
However, upon hearing such a response, the two elders did not intend to leave. What they wanted most now was to see Zhong Niangyao as soon as possible and to ensure she was unharmed.
Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu hurriedly tried to persuade them.
Finally, albeit unwillingly, the two elders agreed to go home and continue to wait for news.
The video of Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao had already spread on the internet, with no one stopping it.
After all, all of Lu Yichen’s attention was focused on Zhong Niangyao, and he had become indifferent to these matters.
Lu Family—
Although Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu were advanced in years and not very knowledgeable about electronics and the internet, there were many young people around them, especially since their two sons were married, they naturally had grandchildren.
These grandchildren were young people who would normally surf the internet. Now that such explosive news had spread online, and it was related to their Third Uncle, they could not possibly keep it from their grandparents, and they quickly informed them.
It was in such an unexpected situation that Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu learned about the things concerning Lu Yichen, including the official attitudes.
Old Master Lu was more concerned about who the girl that Lu Yichen was holding was.
However, Old Madam Lu was more worried about the indulgent attitude of the officials, and not only that they didn’t intervene but seemed to be facilitating him, even clearing paths for Lu Yichen; this was not a trivial matter.
She dared say that none of her other three sons, who held important positions in the political, military, and business sectors, were given such treatment. How did Lu Yichen manage it?
Thinking of this, her initial reaction was not joy but a shiver of coldness.
Then, as though remembering something, she turned to look at Old Master Lu sitting beside her and involuntarily demanded in her voice, “Have you handed over some of your powers to Lu Yichen?”
She could think of no other reason.
From childhood to adulthood, Lu Yichen had been frail and spent most of the year recuperating. Such a sickly person could not possibly have such capabilities unless someone handed over their power to him.
Thinking of how her husband had always indulged Lu Yichen, she couldn’t help but come to such a conclusion.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Hearing Old Madam Lu’s questioning, Old Master Lu’s face soured, “Do you know who you’re talking to? Who gave you the right to question me like this?”
Seeing that Old Master Lu seemed somewhat angry, Old Madam Lu’s tone softened a little, but when she thought of Lu Yichen’s affairs, she still couldn’t suppress the air of indignation within her, “I just want to understand clearly, is that not allowed? I am your wife; shouldn’t I be privy to such matters?”
