Shanmao gratefully poured tea for Lu Songtao. Since the last time he was severely beaten by Lu Hanqing, Lu Songtao would go to his place to sit for a while. He knew that Lu Songtao wanted to protect him.

Lu Songtao's face was paler than before, and his cheeks were thinner. His eyes, which were originally full of agility, were filled with emptiness, loneliness and a trace of desolation.

Shan Mao looked a little distressed and said, "Second Young Master, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

Lu Songtao looked blankly at a picture of pine and cypress hanging on the wall, without taking the tea cup or responding.

"Second Young Master", Shan Mao shouted again, increasing the volume.

"Oh." Lu Songtao came back to his senses, took the teacup, and smiled at Shanmao. "Thank you"!

Shanmao smiled awkwardly, and after Lu Songtao finished drinking the tea, he took the teacup and placed it on the coffee table.

"Second Young Master, Mr. Lu no longer restricts your freedom. In fact, you can go out for a walk."

"Where to go"?

"As the Chinese New Year is approaching, it should be quite lively outside. You can go shopping or meet friends."

Lu Songtao shook his head, "I've liked quietness since I was a child, and it's nice here."

Seeing Lu Songtao's expression of not being interested in anything, Shan Mao felt quite unhappy. "Second Young Master, it would be good to just go out and get some fresh air."

Lu Songtao smiled slightly, as bright as the sun, and his originally clean face looked even more holy, making Shanmao look a little lost in thought.

"Thank you for your concern".

"Second Young Master, you have to be more open-minded."

"Are you worried that I can't think about it"?

Shan Mao opened his mouth, not knowing what to answer. A series of blows were carried out frequently in a short period of time. They were blows from his closest relatives, and they also hit the inherent cognition and three views deep in his soul. As you can imagine,

If you are a weak-minded person, you may have already collapsed.

On the contrary, Lu Songtao smiled comfortingly at Shanmao and pointed to his head, "Don't worry, I'm not a nerd who studies to death."

Shanmao didn't know whether Lu Songtao's words were true or not, so he said: "If the second young master has any unresolved knots in his heart, he might as well speak out. As long as he speaks out about many things, he will feel much better."

Lu Songtao said lightly: "For five thousand years in China, the vast historical books have recorded the wise words of saints, the great achievements of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, countless loyal ministers and good generals, and literati and poets. At the same time, they have also recorded

Despite lies, betrayal, and countless ruthless and cold killings, history will not repeat itself, but it has always been repeated. This kind of nonsense is not uncommon in the long history of history, and it will continue to happen in the future. What do I have?

It’s unthinkable”.

Shanmao was stunned and laughed easily, "I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. The second young master's magnanimity makes me feel ashamed."

Lu Songtao waved his hand and said half-jokingly: "There is no more vicious word in the world than the word 'gentleman'. Are you scolding me?"

Shanmao smiled awkwardly, "Second Young Master, you know that's not what I meant."

Lu Songtao said lightly: "Brothers from the mountains once gave me a saying, 'There is no distinction between black and white in the world, black and white only depends on the human heart.' There are thousands of living beings in the world, and everyone has the right to choose who to be. There are different ways.

Since it cannot be changed, I will not look, listen, or pay attention to it. I will remain the same in my heart, regardless of the spring wind or winter snow."

Shanmao smiled and said, "I admire the second young master for his profound wisdom."

Lu Songtao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You must have become a habit of flattering me."

Shanmao said seriously: "I have low self-esteem by nature and am accustomed to complimenting others, but I respect the second young master from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no flattery at all."

Lu Songtao smiled and said, "Those who can admit that they are inferior are no longer inferior. Shanmao, you are also a person worthy of respect."

Shanmao was quite moved, "The second young master is in a high position and can look at all living beings equally. He is the one truly worthy of admiration."

Lu Songtao sighed, "No matter how poor or rich you are, how high or low you are, if you can calm down and treat each other honestly, it would be so easy and comfortable. It's a pity that they never understand that they have to set up three or six

Nine levels of obstacles make it uncomfortable for others and uncomfortable for yourself, so why bother?”

"Not everyone can have the second son's state of mind."

With a touch of contempt and sympathy in his eyes, Lu Songtao said slowly: "In their view, people who are not from our tribe must have different hearts. If they have too much, they are more afraid of losing it. They try every means to prevent it, and they think everyone is a thief and robber. They are afraid

Others robbed them of their gold and silver treasures. They seemed to be superior, but in fact they were terrified, walking on thin ice, and could not live a comfortable and peaceful day."

Shanmao looked up at Lu Songtao, with ripples in his heart. He has always admitted that he is a selfish person, and has always believed that there are no unselfish people in this world. He is very sure that there is no right or wrong in this world, only positions, but Lu Songtao is beyond

Go beyond the narrow definition of selfishness and treat everything from a standpoint. No one will be shocked by what Lu Songtao said, but as a person with vested interests, his ability to say these words gives the Bobcats

A feeling of enlightenment.

He suddenly had a strange idea. The mountain man was preaching from the foot of the mountain up, and Lu Songtao was preaching from the top of the mountain, and the two would eventually meet on the mountainside.

"Second Young Master, if you want to know something about Brother Shanmin, I can share some with you."

Lu Songtao smiled and shook his head, "No need, I only know that he is a master of calligraphy and my book friend, and I don't know anything else."

Lu Xian was sitting on a wicker chair, flipping through a book leisurely, and glanced at Lu Hanqing from the corner of his eye, who kept looking at his mobile phone.

"Restless, restless, what are you thinking about"?

Lu Hanqing put down his mobile phone, his palms full of sweat. "It's nothing, I'm just worried about the company's affairs. Recently, I found that some senior executives behaved a little abnormally, and some long-term partners were also a little abnormal."

Lu Xian said oh, "

So what are you going to do about it?”

Lu Hanqing replied: "I am arranging manpower to investigate them. As long as problems are found, I am afraid that a major operation will be performed."

Lu Xian pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, "The family has hundreds of companies and dozens of long-term partners. Do we have enough manpower for such a vast project?"

Lu Hanqing secretly wiped the sweat from his hands on his legs, "I have asked Ran Xingwu to organize people to keep an eye on them. In addition, I have blown the whistle on the board of directors and arranged for the group's human resources department to come up with a plan as soon as possible."

"Ran Xingwu"? Lu Xian's voice was very soft, but it made Lu Hanqing's heart skip a beat.

"Yes, it was Ran Xingwu who was responsible for secretly monitoring the actions of senior executives and major partners of the group's companies."

Lu Xian glanced at the mobile phone on the coffee table and said calmly: "You are just waiting for news from him."

"Yes." Lu Hanqing lowered his eyes unconsciously.

Lu Xian shook his head and said, "No need to wait, he won't come back."

"What?" Lu Hanqing blurted out and looked at Lu Xian in surprise.

Lu Xian asked calmly: "Are you surprised why I knew you sent Ran Xingwu to Yangguan?"

Of course Lu Hanqing was surprised. When he learned the news, he did not tell his grandfather because he was worried that his grandfather would stop it.

Lu Xian said calmly: "Don't be surprised, I'm not old enough to be confused. How could Ran Xingwu not come and ask me for advice on such a big matter?"

Lu Xian put down the book in his hand, looked at the pale Lu Hanqing, and said calmly: "Don't be nervous, you are the head of the Lu family now and have the power to make any decision. So when Ran Xingwu came to ask me for instructions, I only told him one thing

He said, 'Lu Hanqing is the head of the Lu family.'"

Lu Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt quite moved and guilty, "Grandpa, I shouldn't have hidden this from you."

Lu Xian shook his head, "Didn't I just say that you are the head of the family, and you have the right to exercise the power of the Lu family on behalf of the Lu family."

"But"! Lu Xian's voice suddenly became serious, "Power and responsibility are equal. The more power you exercise, the greater the responsibility you have to bear. Can you afford it?"

Lu Hanqing gritted his teeth and nodded, "For the Lu family, I am willing to bear everything, even if I can't bear it, I will bear it to the end."

Lu Xian nodded with satisfaction, lay down on the wicker chair again, and said lightly: "That's good."

The study became quiet, so quiet that Lu Hanqing could hear his own breathing clearly.

Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Grandpa, what did you mean when you said he couldn't come back?"

Lu Xian slowly closed his eyes and said calmly: "That's the literal meaning."

Lu Hanqing's head buzzed. "Why"?!

"Because the news of your enlightenment was deliberately revealed to you by someone. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole stalks the cicada, but a simple trick is a good method that will always work."

"who"?

"You should be able to guess who it is"?

Lu Hanqing's eyelids twitched and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was not that he had never doubted it, but he was more willing to believe that it was a real opportunity.

"How could this happen"! "How could this happen"!

Lu Hanqing felt weak all of a sudden, leaning on the sofa slumped, scared, regretful, nervous... Since the confrontation with Lu Shanmin, the Lu family has suffered many setbacks. In the battle of Daluoshan, not only the whereabouts of his father Lu Zhenchi was unknown, but Yang Zhihe and others were also missing.

The elite gangs were wiped out. If Ran Xingwu and the troops he brought were wiped out again this time, the hidden talents cultivated and accumulated by the Lu family for decades would be completely squandered by him.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that without these people, the Lu family will no longer have a pair of eyes and a pair of fists hiding in the dark. How to control the huge Lu family group and the numerous and responsible business relationships.

He will wander around like a blind man in the dark.

The more Lu Hanqing thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and his whole body was dripping with sweat.

Suddenly, he thought of something, looked up at Lu Xian, and asked with a trembling voice: "Grandpa, why didn't you stop me?"

Lu Xian opened his eyes, his eyes calm and unflappable. "If their death can teach you an unforgettable lesson, then they deserved their death."

"They"? Lu Hanqing's lips trembled and his eyes were red, "nearly a hundred of their lives were lost in my hands."

Lu Xian picked up the book again, moistened his lips with a dry finger, and turned over a page. "This is your first lesson. Once a general succeeds, all his bones will be withered. You must learn to look down on their will."
To be continued...
