To Love You Again-Chapter 822 You Left Me Again

822 You Left Me Again

The succession rites for the head of the Lu family and the banquet for the new CEO of the Lu empire had taken place for two days.

Despite the incident that happened that weakened the Lu family greatly, a lot of people still showed up in Lu Yin Ze's succession to give the Lu family a face. After all, even a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

And the said camel was backed up by a growing hegemon like the SC and IHZHI company. No one dared to belittle the weak Lu family at front.

The heads of the four legendary families attended together and strongly expressed their support for Lu Yin Ze. The four families have never been this united before.

The succession ceremony went without a hitch.

The guests and the elders have a tacit understanding to not mention the tragedy that happened a month ago. They superficially exchanged congratulatory remarks despite what they thought.

Lu Yin Ze watched everything with a superficial smile. It must be great if his brother who deserved to be here was with him. Just the thought of his brother made Lu Yin Ze want to contact him and see what his brother was doing.

However, there were many things to take care of.

It took him three days before he could make an arrangement to transfer his office to the L province.

Three days was not enough to take care of the urgent company matters, however, Lu Yin Ze who wasn't able to communicate with his brother for three days wanted to go back. If only he could stay for half a day in L province and return to the company, he would do so.

He just wanted to check if his brother was doing alright.

He arrived at the L province in high spirits.

Lu Yin Ze wanted to surprise his brother by coming home early. He had a lot of stories to tell. Such as the people who attended the banquet and sincerely expressed their support for him. The people who eyed him unkindly and the small incident and rumors that the two of them had never taken interest in before. Lu Yin Ze was excited.

"Head Master, three guests have arrived an hour ago. They are waiting for you in the pavilion."

Lu Yin Ze was surprised. He ordered the mansion in L province to not accept visitors so easily. The only people who could come up here were his trusted friends.

When he saw the visitors, his nervous heart relaxed.

"It turned out it's you guys. Why did you visit me early?"

Lu Yin Ze had just met these three people in his banquet which just happened a day ago. So seeing them again made him wonder.

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng looked at each other. Tang Yin who was behind them acted like a pillar. But her face was not good.

Lu Yin Ze: ???

Why did he feel the atmosphere was somewhat tight?

"What are you guys doing here?"

Lu Yin Ze repeated his question as he ordered his people to re-heat the tea and bring more snacks. As he did so, his eyes could not help but wander around.

Where was his brother? Did he hide when he learned there would be visitors?

But these people already knew that his brother was with him in L province.

Although confused, Lu Yin Ze never imagined the worst.

It was Linfeng who answered him.

"We have something to say."

Lu Yin Ze: ?

For his friends to travel this far just to say something to him, it must be important.

Lu Yin Ze waited. But Linfeng remained silent.

Lu Yin Ze titled his head. What's wrong with this guy?

There was a moment of silence reigning the three.

Lu Yin Ze suddenly had an idea.

Since his friends were here, perhaps he could introduce the three properly to his brother?

Although Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, and his brother seemed to know each other and had worked together before, he haven't properly introduced them yet to his brother as his friends. It would be great if his brother joined them at this table.

Lu Yin Ze was about to open it up when Xiong Zhi suddenly break the silence

"Congratulations on becoming the head."

"Thank you."

Lu Yin Ze accepted their congratulatory even though he was confused. His friends attended his succession banquet and they warmly congratulated him. They weren't here to express congratulatory again right?

Afterwards, Xiong Zhi asked about his well-being first and how he was recuperating. Lu Yin Ze knew Xiong Zhi was a straightforward person. However, today, Xiong Zhi was flailing around before going to the topic.

Lu Yin Ze could not help but glance at the silent Tang Yin.

The most suspicious was Tang Yin.

Why the always noisy and arrogant Tang Yin was silent with a downcast face?

The three acted suspiciously.

Lu Yin Ze finally could not hold it in and ask. "Is something wrong?"

Xiong Zhi turned silent. Her stoic face suddenly glanced at the silent Linfeng. Her eyes blinked.

Linfeng knew that her young miss was asking for help.

Xiong Zhi was bad at delivering news. Especially bad news. Xiong Zhi passed the ball to Linfeng once more.

Linfeng opened his mouth and speak clearly. "It's about your brother."

"My brother?" Lu Yin Ze's heart skipped a beat. Everyone here knows that Lu Jin was staying with him in L province. They would not take away his brother, right?

"Yes. Your brother voluntarily surrender as an accomplice and witness in Ming Zhi Yi's case."

There was a moment of silence.

The other three did not dare to speak more as they watched Lu Yin Ze's expression of disbelief.

"T-that can't be...."

It took the young man a long time before he could say the next words. "My...brother...surrender?"

Linfeng nodded. "Yes. He surrender three days ago."

Bang!

The chair was overturned.

Lu Yin Ze suddenly stood up and ran. He left the three in the seating room without a word.

He went to his brother's room.

His brother...should be here.

The door to his brother's room was unlocked. He opened it with so much force that his hand turned red. He called out loudly, "Brother?"

bedroom.

09:49

However, the bed was cleaned up. There was not even a crease. No one was in the bedroom. 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Lu Yin Ze's heart thumped fast in apprehension.

He ran to the garden where the two of them would stroll in the afternoon and talked about meaningless things.

"Brother! Big brother!"

He called out at every corner. But only the sound of rustling leaves answered him.

Lu Yin Ze felt like a heavy rock was placed in his heart.

His eyes turned blurry.

No...It can't be. His brother promised him that he would stay with him.

Even though a part of him believed Linfeng's words, Lu Yin Ze wanted to deny it.

He ran around as he called out to his brother. He ran to the burial grounds. He was gasping for breath as he shouted madly.

"Brother!"

Still, no one answered him.

Lu Yin Ze's tears finally fell. But he quickly wiped it away.

Did he really....leave? His brother left him?

But he said that he would be waiting for him. That he would stay on his side and depend on him. Was all of that just a pipe dream?

Another strand of tear fell. But Lu Yin Ze did not care to wipe it away.

He felt like he had just woken up from a blissful dream. The cruel reality had struck him hard.

In the end, his brother chose to do his responsibilities over him.

Just like before.

"Stupid....You are so stupid, brother..."

'You've left me again...'

The wind blew ruffling his silver hair.

Lu Yin Ze stood there motionlessly.
