In the study of Longwan Residential.

Gu Zheng leaned lazily against the chair and lowered his eyes. “Is it done?”

When he left Huazhong Building, he instructed Song Shijing to go to the Lu family’s house and make Chairman Lu unconscious for a few more days.

Song Shijing stood there and hesitated. After a moment, he replied, “I guess so.”

Gu Zheng looked up slowly and saw Song Shijing say with a strange expression, “President, I don’t have to do anything and Chairman Lu will remain unconscious.”

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

Song Shijing gulped nervously. “Logically speaking, Chairman Lu should have woken up today. I received your order, but when I arrived at the ward, I found Chairman Lu still unconscious. Someone seemed to have poisoned him again before me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with a smile. “Did you see that person?”

“I’ve been hiding in the dark and observing. Other than the spies we planted in the Lu family, only one person has entered the ward. That person is Chairman Lu’s assistant.”

That assistant had been working by Chairman Lu’s side for two years. He was young, but Chairman Lu liked and trusted him very much. However, this person was not Chairman Lu’s subordinate. This person must have been the one who poisoned him when he first fell into a coma.

He was already planted by Chairman Lu’s side two years ago. Whose subordinate was he?

Song Shijing felt that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, “President, do you want me to investigate this person’s identity? He’s been hiding by Chairman Lu’s side for two years. If he finds out about our people, then…”

“There’s no need.” Gu Zheng waved his hand casually. “He can do whatever he wants. You don’t have to investigate. Just pretend that he doesn’t exist.”

Song Shijing was even more confused, but he was in no position to question the decisions his boss makes. He had roughly guessed that the president knew this person’s identity, but he still did not understand who had planted spies in the Lu family two years ago. Did this assistant go to the Lu family with a purpose, or was he bribed after going there?

Could this person really be trusted? If he found out that the president had spies in the Lu family, would he expose them?

After Song Shijing left, Gu Zheng could not help but smile. What other secrets did Mrs. Gu have that he did not know about? She planted spies in the Lu family two years ago. At that time, Mrs. Gu probably did not know that Mo Yuan was Gu Zheng or the grudge between him and the Lu family. If that was the case, why did she send people to the Lu family?

At this moment, Qiao Xi was drawing designs in the studio when there was a sudden knock on the door. Gu Zheng pushed the door open and walked in. She slowly raised her eyes and could not help but frown.

Why was this bastard here?

Gu Zheng’s burning gaze landed on her as he sized her up. He stroked his chin and said with a faint smile, “Mrs. Gu, you really surprise me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng turned around and left. Qiao Xi’s face was filled with confusion as she watched him leave.

Was this person crazy? He pushed the door open and left after saying something strange. How did she surprise him? Could it be that he had discovered something?

…

A few days later, the Lu family decided to hold the ancestral worship ceremony on the original date. Since Gu Zheng already knew about the ancestral worship ceremony, there was no need for them to bring it forward.

Although the Lu family had been unlucky all these years, they were still a long-standing family. They had many descendants, and the annual ancestral worship ceremony was very important. It was also a chance for the descendants of the Lu family to get closer.

On this day, the Lu family woke up early to prepare. Lu Xiang walked into the Lu family’s ancestral hall with her head held high. She glanced around with a sharp gaze. Suddenly, her gaze froze. She pointed at one of the tablets and shouted, “Who asked you to bring this dirty thing in?!”

Logically speaking, all the ancestral tablets of the deceased members of the Lu family would be placed in the ancestral hall. There had been countless ancestral tablets in the past hundred years, so no one would care who these ancestral tablets belonged to. After all, the only people who were qualified to enter the ancestral hall to pay their respects were the few core members of the Lu family.

As soon as Lu Xiang walked in, she realized that there was a memorial tablet on the bottom floor. It was so dazzling. She was so angry at the servants that they were all trembling in fear.

When Lu Xiang saw the name ‘Lu Qingyun’ written on the tablet, the veins on her forehead popped out. Which idiot brought Lu Qingyun’s tablet in?

That b*tch was clearly dead. She was an ominous person. How could her memorial tablet be placed in the Lu family’s ancestral hall?

All these years, Lu Qingyun’s memorial tablet had never appeared in the Lu family’s ancestral hall. Who dared to bring this b*tch’s memorial tablet in?
