Chapter 451: Crazy Lu Jingye
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Patriarch Lu along with a few elders made their way over.
Everyone was startled and hastily made way for him.
He had a grim expression on his face and the aura he radiated was imposing and overbearing.
Patriarch Lu walked over to Lu Jingye and asked sternly, “Is this how you treat our guests?”
“Grandfather, I just don’t want to give hope to people I don’t like.”
“Like? What’s that?” Patriarch Lu disagreed with him. “Liking means two individuals who have the same background and are capable of supporting each other, and treating each other with respect. You and Aisha are suitable.”
His words caused the expressions of the Dou Family members to turn ugly.
Mrs. Lu’s expression was also distorted.
The crowd was silent.
So in actual fact, Patriarch Lu had already chosen a wife for the Second Young Master and he had called the Dou Family and Zi Yi over, just so that he could give them a warning?
“Since Patriarch Lu does not welcome the Dou Family, then why did you invite us over?” Dou Xiaoyong was the first to speak up and he had a furious expression on his face.
Dou Jingning said afterwards, “Since that’s the case, let’s leave.”
Patriarch Lu did not expect the Dou Family members to protect Zi Yi. Displeasure flashed past his eyes and just as he was about to speak, the phones of many people present suddenly rang.
After they picked up their phones, the other party seemed to have said something and their expressions changed drastically. All of them said in unison, “What? Alright, I’ll be there right away.”
Everyone had the same reaction and before long, they walked up to Patriarch Lu. With anxious and worried expressions, they said, “Patriarch Lu, something happened in our company and I’m sorry but I’ll have to leave early.”
They did not bother to wait for Patriarch Lu to respond and left the living room together with their family members.
The Lu Family members were still a little confused. At that time, Rick had also received a phone call. The moment he heard what the other party said, his expression turned livid, “What? Someone caused a worldwide economic war?”
His words caused everyone’s hearts to clench tightly.
All of them subconsciously looked towards Lu Jingye, only to realize that he had left.
Rick hung up the phone angrily and said, “Aisha, leave with me.”
Aisha’s stubborn temper flared up. “I don’t want to.”
Rick was anxious and angry at the same time as he pulled her away.
Mrs. Lu was the first to react. She hastily whispered to the madams of the Dou Family, “I’m really sorry for tonight. What my father said does not represent Jingye’s or our opinion. We should meet up and talk about the affairs between these two youngsters when there is a chance in the future.”
The Dou Family thought of what Lu Jingye had told them last night and left without asking anything.
When they left the living room, Dou Jingning asked, “Where’s Yiyi?”
Dou Xiangling hastily said, “She said she was going to the restroom, but she has yet to return.”
The Dou Family members were worried.
“What should we do? Should we split up and look around?”
Just as they were planning to look for her, Dou Jingning’s phone rang. He took it out and glanced at the screen before he said to the rest, “Let’s go out and wait for her first. Yiyi will be coming out shortly.”
The Lu Family’s main residence occupied a large area and not all places were open to the public. Since Zi Yi sent Dou Jingning a message, she must have known of the situation here. As a result, they headed outside to wait.
When everyone took their leave, the Lu Family members gathered together.
Lu Zhiheng took out his mobile phone and did a quick check, only for him to reveal a shocked expression. “Grandfather, someone caused a worldwide economic war. Our company has also been affected.”
The eldest son of Patriarch Lu furrowed his brow. “An average person can’t start this kind of economic war that would affect the whole world. The country will not idly sit by without interfering. Unless the person has heaven-defying skills that can suddenly take everyone by surprise.”
Speaking of this, his expression changed, and he asked Lu Jianlin along with his wife, “Second Brother, sister-in-law, where is Jingye?”
Lu Jianlin said with a stern expression, “I don’t know.”
Patriarch Lu seemed to have guessed something and he said, “Call him back.”
Lu Jianlin took out his phone and just when he was about to make a call, the eldest son’s phone rang.
His expression changed upon answering the phone, “I understand.”
He then told Patriarch Lu. “Father, it’s Jingye.”
His words caused everyone’s expression to change.
Patriarch Lu’s sharp gaze turned to Lu Jianlin and he ordered him. “Go and find Jingye!”
Before Lu Jianlin took a single step, Rick strode in from outside and asked furiously, “Grandfather Lu, what does the Lu Family mean by this? How dare you cause such a huge incident?!”
When has Patriarch Lu been questioned by someone from a younger generation like that? His expression changed as he said, “How do you know that it was caused by the Lu Family?!”
Rick’s eyes turned red from anxiousness and he pa.s.sed the laptop in his hand to Patriarch Lu. On the screen were lines and data that an outsider would never understand. Rick then pointed to one area. “No one other than Lu Jingye is capable of launching such a crazy attack!”
Having said that, he closed the laptop and gnashed his teeth in anger.
“Grandfather Lu, do you know the consequences this economic war will bring? Many companies will go bankrupt and the entire economy will undergo a major reshuffle.
Do you think the Lu Family can keep such a big thing under wraps? Now that I’ve already found out that Lu Jingye is the culprit, do you think the other major organizations have yet to discover who it was?

If all the companies were to unite, the Lu Family will be swallowed up to the extent that not even your bones will be left. Lu Jingye is simply seeking death!”
Having said that, he carried his laptop and left the living room.
The expressions of the Lu Family members became extremely ugly.
The Third Madam s.h.i.+vered as she said, “What is Jingye trying to do? If he doesn’t want to marry Aisha, he can just tell us. Why did he cause such a huge incident?”

Patriarch Lu spoke up. “Son, lead some people and capture Jingye to bring him over.”
“Father, I understand.”
Mrs. Lu looked at his departing back and clutched the handbag in her hand out of worry.
On the other side.
As soon as Zi Yi left the living room, she got Shadow to distract those who were tailing behind her, while she found an obscure sundry room. She sat down and pressed her wrist.w.a.tch and a virtual screen surfaced before her.
She originally planned to connect to all the surveillance in the Lu Family, but unexpectedly, a worldwide economic war had started.
Zi Yi’s virus soon played a huge role and she found out that Lu Jingye was the main culprit.
“Ah Jing? You’re playing such a huge game at this juncture?” Zi Yi seemed to have thought of something and the corner of her lips unconsciously curled up.
Her ten fingers quickly typed on the virtual keyboard. “Since that’s the case, I’ll play with you.”
No one imagined that the sudden economic war had soon spread worldwide.
This type of economic war that happened without any warning left those large conglomerates totally unprepared.
There were many companies that fell into chaos.
“Not good, many higher-ups from various countries have gotten involved.. If Second Brother is really the culprit, the Lu Family will become the target of public criticism.”
