Chapter 950: What Has Brother Cheng Gotten Into?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Chengzhou was not always at Red Flame and there had been many times where he could not be found. It was not unusual that he would go MIA for as long as a month, but it was not to the extent that it would arouse people’s suspicion.
The problem now was that Lu Chengzhou, who was currently by Gu Mang’s side, had not done anything, so He Yidu and Qin Fang had no idea why Lu Zhan was visiting. Most importantly, they knew that they would not be able to keep Lu Zhan in the dark about the fact that his son left for Jijing Island.
The outlines of the gray clouds hanging overhead could be clearly seen in the moonlight and the clouds were moving in the direction of the wind. The place was quiet, but it became even more so when Lu Yī and the others who were in on the secret heard what Lu Zhan asked. Not even He Yidu and Qin Fang knew what they should say, for the person in front of them could not be so easily fooled.
Their hesitance made Lu Zhan slowly narrow his eyes and his gaze became sharp and stern. “He’s not around?”
While rubbing his nose, Qin Fang laughed dryly and said, “Uh… B-Brother Cheng left because he had something to do, but he’s not back yet.”
Lin Shuang was surprised to hear that. Lu Chengzhou isn’t here at Red Flame?
“Tell him to come back right away. I’ll wait here for him.” Lu Zhan then proceeded to walk toward the entrance of Red Flame.
Oh no! Qin Fang turned to He Yidu for help.
He Yidu, who was more composed than his friend, took half a step toward Lu Zhan. “Uncle Lu…”
Lu Zhan looked up at He Yidu blocking his path. As a person who had been in high positions for years, his aura was overwhelming and his gaze was sharp as a blade. Authority exuded out of him and completely overpowered He Yidu.
The rest of He Yidu’s sentence got stuck in his throat.
“Call him this instant and tell him to get his *ss back here!” Lu Zhan enunciated.
What the h.e.l.l? How much trouble has Brother Cheng gotten into?! Qin Fang had never seen Lu Zhan fly into such a huge rage before.
He Yidu could not help but worry about Lu Chengzhou. All of a sudden, he suddenly remembered the time when Gu Si got so angry that he wanted to charge to Red Flame to kill Lu Chengzhou. Are they angry over the same thing? What exactly has happened?
Since Brother Cheng had dropped his disguise in front of Gu Mang, it should be fine to let his parents know, right? After giving it some thought, He Yidu finally came clean with Lu Zhan. “Uncle Lu, Brother Cheng is actually on Jijing Island right now.”
Lin Shuang’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What is he doing there?” asked Lu Zhan, who appeared slightly stunned. What business could he have there when Qin Fang and He Yidu have already returned? He couldn’t have possibly gone to look for Gu Mang either, especially with Huo Zhi and the Elders a.s.sociation are keeping a close eye on her. Besides, the Ye family didn’t receive news of his arrival.
He Yidu poked at his gla.s.ses as he said with much difficulty, “H-he’s by Gu Mang’s side. He swapped ident.i.ties with Bai Sui, a subordinate of the Bai family.”
What the f*ck?! Bai Sui is Lu Chengzhou?! Lin Shuang’s eyes grew even wider and she instantly felt much more awake than before.
Lu Zhan grasped the gist of the situation right away. His expression darkened. “So he remembered Gu Mang all along?”
“I’m not sure about that.” He Yidu replied hesitantly before adding, “We only found out that he still remembers her when we received news of Gu Mang’s injury and went to Jijing Island with him.”
Lu Zhan’s countenance darkened even more when he realized that he had been kept in the dark for so long. “So he also knows that Gu Mang is pregnant?”
“What?! Come again?!” Qin Fang’s jaw dropped and he could hardly believe his ears. Gu Mang is pregnant?!
