Sooner or Later, We'll Kick Him Out of the Lu Family!

Guagua shrieked, [Something terrible happened! Your eldest sister, Lu Sangning, has been kidnapped!]

Lu Chi: [What? Lu Sangning was kidnapped?]

Guagua: [Yes, host, hurry over there. Any later and it'll be too late.]

Panic gripped Lu Chi.

He hurriedly turned and headed outside.

The three Lu sisters were busy gaming, their attention nowhere near him. They hadn't noticed a single word of Lu Chi's inner voice.

Lu Jiyang thought Lu Chi had only advanced by chance, not through ability.

Now that he'd hit a nerve, Lu Chi was scared and didn't even dare enter the house.

To further mock Lu Chi and expose his true colors before their sisters,

Lu Jiyang hurried after him when he saw him turn to leave, jogging out the door.

He kept prattling on, "Brother Lu Chi, where are you going? Are you scared we'll talk about you advancing? Let me tell you, don't get too smug. You only advanced by chance!"

Both of them reached the doorway outside the living room.

Lu Chi was already irritated. Hearing Lu Jiyang's words, he turned and sneered viciously at him:

"You fucking idiot, what the hell does whether I advance have to do with you? What are you yapping about? You can't survive without constantly shoving yourself in my face, can you? You only live to piss me off, don't you?

"Then hurry up and die! You bastard whose birth parents are unknown, who knows which family gave birth to you and threw you away? Now that you've been picked up and brought into the Lu family, you've got somewhere to stay, so stay put.

"If you can't, then get the hell out instead of whining all day like some sissy. A spineless loser who needs a bunch of women to protect him!"

Even after saying all that, Lu Chi still hadn't vented his anger.

He kicked Lu Jiyang hard in the stomach.

"Keep running your mouth! Keep running it!"

Thud!

Lu Jiyang: "..." Ah, that hurts like hell!

Before Lu Jiyang could react, Lu Chi took several quick strides and jogged out of the Lu family's courtyard.

He even looked back, flipped Lu Jiyang the middle finger, and pulled a face. "Blech~"

At the gate, he called the driver, Xiao Li, and told him to bring his Rolls-Royce around.

He quickly got in and left.

He didn't have time to waste on that moron Lu Jiyang now. Saving his eldest sister came first.

After Lu Chi suddenly unleashed a barrage of abuse and kicked him, Lu Jiyang was so furious he opened his mouth to swear. He'd only gotten out, "Fuck you, you bast-"

Then he suddenly saw his second sister, Lu Qingru, walk out, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

First, insulting someone else's mother wasn't very nice.

At least, he couldn't do it openly.

Second, swearing would badly damage the persona he'd always maintained.

He'd always presented himself as refined, courteous, obedient, understanding, and a little delicate, someone who needed his sisters' protection.

He could save the swearing for when his sisters weren't around.

Otherwise, his persona would crumble.

His sisters wouldn't think anything of him calling Lu Chi a country bumpkin now and then, since none of them liked Lu Chi.

Insulting his mother... better not.

After all, she was also his sisters'... mother.

Lu Jiyang repeatedly gaslit himself in his mind.

At last, he managed to dispel the foul anger inside him.

There would be plenty more chances to deal with Lu Chi anyway.

Just you fucking wait. I'll get a chance to finish you off!

Lu Jiyang turned around and pinched his own thigh hard, squeezing a few tears from his eyes.

Lu Qingru asked worriedly, "Jiyang, what's wrong?"

Lu Jiyang cast a pitiful glance in the direction Lu Chi had left, sighed deeply, and shook his head.

He said, "Second Sister, Brother Lu Chi just swore at me and hit me. Sometimes I really don't know if I should leave the Lu family and give all this back to Brother Lu Chi. Otherwise, he'll always find ways to torment me."

Seeing Lu Jiyang looking so pitiful, Lu Qingru's heart ached terribly.

She stroked his head and said angrily, "Ugh, Lu Chi is so vile and disgusting! I don't understand why Mom and Dad brought him back. If we'd known, he would've been better off dying out there!"

Lu Jiyang turned slightly and gently linked his arm through Lu Qingru's.

Lu Qingru comforted him again. "Don't worry, Jiyang. If he keeps bullying you like this, sooner or later we'll kick him out of the Lu family!"

The Rolls-Royce sped down the road.

Lu Chi wanted to call the police first.

After all, this sort of thing was better handled by the police. He was an eighteen-year-old high school student without so much as a single bodyguard or any combat ability.

Even if he went to save her, it would be pointless.

He'd just be cannon fodder destined to take a beating.

Fine, once this is over, there are two things I need to do:

First, have my bargain-bin dad hire two bodyguards for me.

Second, to forge iron, you have to be strong yourself. I'll go to Mount Song Shaolin for a few months of intensive martial arts training.

Lu Chi secretly asked Guagua in his mind, [Can the driver, Xiao Li, be trusted?]

[For example, is he a lackey of the Lu sisters or Lu Jiyang? Will he steal my confidential information?]

Guagua shook his head. [No. Xiao Li is the driver your bargain-bin dad picked for you. As of now, he hasn't betrayed you.]

Lu Chi thought it over. Although Xiao Li hadn't betrayed him yet, who knew whether he would as the plot progressed?

Lu Chi was a cautious person.

He didn't feel comfortable making the call in front of Xiao Li.

The car headed toward Jing City's northern outskirts. On a small road, Lu Chi told Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, pull over. I'm going to take a leak. I'll be right back."

Xiao Li obediently complied.

Lu Chi found a spot far away, but instead of taking a leak, he called the police.

After making the call, Lu Chi returned to the car.

He instructed the driver to keep going.

He didn't actually know the way either, but with Little Guagua around, there was nowhere in the world he couldn't find.

Guagua really was top-notch.

After nearly an hour of driving, they finally reached the vicinity of their destination.

Dusk had already passed, and it wouldn't be long before it was dark.

Lu Chi told Xiao Li, "Drive back somewhere at least ten kilometers away. If I haven't contacted you in two hours, call my dad and have him bring several more bodyguards."

Xiao Li nodded.

"Remember, you can only ask my dad for help. Don't tell anyone else in the family. If I find out you told anyone else I came here, I'll make you pay in a heartbeat!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

After Lu Chi got out, Xiao Li started the car and drove away.

Guagua told Lu Chi that Lu Sangning was being held in a room in an abandoned factory building in the northern outskirts.

The abandoned factory building was still half a kilometer away.

He'd chosen to get out here rather than have Xiao Li drive straight over to avoid letting Zhang Yong and his bodyguards hear the car. It would be bad if they were on their guard.

That's right. The person who kidnapped Lu Sangning was Zhang Yong!

Actually, Lu Chi could have guessed even without Guagua telling him.

How could scum like Zhang Yong just give up on something he'd spent so many years scheming for?

Besides, not only had the Lu family broken off the engagement, they'd also terminated all cooperation with the Zhang Family and issued an order forbidding other families from cooperating with them.

If the Zhang Family wanted to restore their former glory, their only option was to start with Lu Sangning.

Following Guagua's directions, Lu Chi sprinted along the path.

He finally reached the outskirts of the abandoned factory building.

From a distance, he saw two vehicles parked there.

The one in front was a white Audi A8. One look at the license plate confirmed it was Zhang Yong's.

The other was a black minivan, which was probably his bodyguards' vehicle.

Six bodyguards stood scattered around the vehicles.

They were keeping watch and smoking.

To keep the bodyguards from spotting him, Lu Chi took a side path around to the small hillside behind the factory building and headed down.

Although he'd called the police, it would still take them time to travel this far. He needed to observe the situation first and act as opportunities arose.

He didn't have any real affection for Lu Sangning, but he had three reasons to save her:

First, Lu Sangning was the original owner's biological eldest sister. If he didn't save her, the original owner's intense emotions would tear at him, making his heart clench in terrible pain.

Second, if something happened to Lu Sangning, it might cause a butterfly effect in the plot and hasten the Lu family's destruction.

When that happened, as a member of the Lu family, he wouldn't meet a good end either.

Besides, as long as the Lu family stood, he was still a young master, at the very least.

As long as he didn't die, some of the assets would ultimately go to him.

The Lu family had vast wealth and businesses. Even with so many people, the money he received would have to be at least several billion.

Give up all that wealth and glory to become cannon fodder who died horribly?

No way!

Lu Chi wanted to preserve the Lu family's wealth and glory.

And Lu Sangning, the female CEO in charge of the Lu family's eighty companies, was one of the key people who could keep that wealth and glory enduring forever.

Third, the fake young master, Lu Jiyang, was desperately driving a wedge between him and the Lu sisters. He would use Lu Sangning as his breakthrough point, saving her so she would be immensely grateful to him.

Then his path in the Lu family would be much smoother.

Sneaking along, Lu Chi passed through thorns and undergrowth and reached the embankment behind the factory building.

Sharp thorns scratched red patches all over his body, with some spots even bleeding.

He looked quite bedraggled.

But that was exactly the effect Lu Chi wanted.

The more bedraggled he looked, the more grateful Lu Sangning would be for his efforts.

Lu Chi even scooped up a handful of dust from the ground and smeared it on his face.

Just like that, the vivid image of someone travel-worn and rushing to the rescue was born.

Guagua: [Host, to preserve the Lu family's glory, you can do it~]

Lu Chi: [Do it? With an embankment this high and this many thorns, all you have to do is flap your lips. If you're so capable, you do it.]

Guagua: [...Hehehehe, you do it after all~]

Lu Chi exerted the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.

At last, he slowly slid down the high embankment.

His sweatpants were worn through, nearly exposing his underwear.

But once he reached the bottom, Lu Chi was dumbfounded.

There was no way into the factory building from the back at all!
