At the Lu family estate.
Only the high level family members of the Lu household were left in the room. Everyone else had been dismissed.
Lu Ming-Feng's dead body lay in front of them quietly. The wound on his neck looked terrifying.
"Old Master Lu, the cause of Young Master Lu's death has been confirmed to be that wound on his lower neck. The wound was likely caused by a knife or a similar sharp object, and this caused immediate death," said a man in a white coat to the family with a grim expression after he had checked the body and removed his gloves.
"That's impossible. There are so many bodyguards surrounding Ming-Feng at all times, and because we sent him to Jiangdong, there were also other powerful fighters from the Xur family protecting him in the darkness. Don't tell me that Mr Chu of Jiangdong was able to get past all that and slit Ming-Feng's throat with just one strike?" remarked a middle aged man with a frown after hearing the analysis by the doctor.
"Perhaps Young Master was ambushed and caught unawares?" thought the doctor to himself.
But after he was done checking the body, the Lu family dismissed the doctor as well.
It wasn't suitable for someone outside the family to be privy to the family's discussion after all.
"He, what should we do now? Ming-Feng is dead, and apparently he died at that Mr Chu's hands. Why don't we send someone over to deal with this Mr Chu? Or we could also go through the legal way and arrest Mr Chu for doing this."
Even though Lu Cang-Qiong was the eldest member of the Lu family and was highly respected by the family, he was getting on in age and no longer dabbled in family affairs. The person who was in charge of the family was Lu Ming-Feng's father, Lu He.
Even though Lu He's heart ached badly when he looked upon the corpse of his own son, he did not lose control of his emotions or fly into a rage like the old man did.
He was someone who had remained in a high position in government for many years now, and the cruel competition in politics had already trained him well for such situations.
So even though he was feeling much grief inside over his son's death, Lu He was still able to remain calm and rational.
"We must investigate this matter first. We will decide what to do after we find out what happened exactly. Before that, nobody is allowed to do anything rash! Do not use the power you are holding onto to take revenge. Does everyone understand?" said Lu He grimly to the rest of the family standing before him.
His brothers didn't say anything, but Lu Ming-Feng's mother immediately started wailing, "What's there to investigate? The truth is right in front of us! That Jiangdong gangster killed our son! He deserves to die! You're Ming-Feng's father, but instead of taking revenge now, you want to investigate first and talk about taking action later? You're his father! Don't you feel anything?!”
She held onto her son's lifeless body and cried miserably as she shrieked angrily at Lu He.
Besides Old Master Lu, she was the only one who dared to shout uncontrollably at this very powerful man.
"Ying, go back to the room first. I will settle this. I'll get the maids to bring you back," said Lu He calmly without getting angry.
He could understand the pain she was feeling since he was feeling it too.
