The banquet ended.
Inside the Rolls-Royce returning to the Lu Family's temporary palace.
The hostility that had flared up in Fu Yuan due to revenge had receded. Now, she quietly nestled in Lu Cheng's arms, feeling only peace and exhaustion... She greedily absorbed Lu Cheng's scent as compensation for not seeing him for so many days.
"Brother! So... what are you going to reward me with this time?"
Lu Xuan's clear and lively voice broke the silence in the car.
She simply took her brother's strength for granted. She hugged Lu Cheng's other arm and coquettishly said to him, "You didn't see it! That guy named Yan, the fake!"
"When he caught me, he thought he was really something, his nose was practically in the air from pride."
"Brother is still the best!"
Lu Cheng dotingly patted her, but then his expression suddenly turned serious... "You snuck out, didn't you skip class?"
"I haven't even settled scores with you yet, and you want a reward?"
Just then, before the wronged Lu Xuan could retort,
Fu Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Her voice was unusually calm.
"Lu Cheng, regarding Yan Che..."
"I want to handle him myself."
Hearing this, the two siblings stopped their teasing. The hand Lu Cheng had around Fu Yuan simply continued to play with her hair, and he gave a faint "Mm."
If letting her return to the Fu Family was to make her see Fu Changqing's true face with her own eyes, thereby completely crushing her last shred of illusion about her so-called "father."
Then, entrusting her with the power to deal with Yan Che was to draw a decisive end to that absurd past of being a substitute, an end written by her own hand, so that she would have no more lingering regrets... The next day, a certain prison in the Imperial Capital.
Fu Yuan sat on one side of the interrogation table.
Across from her sat Yan Che, who had completely collapsed and was like a useless person.
His hands were firmly shackled to the chair, his eyes unfocused, and his face ashen.
Arrogant? Proud?
All gone.
It was as if the once spirited man was not him at all... Fu Yuan didn't waste another word.
She simply pushed a document in front of Yan Che.
It was a... gratuitous asset transfer agreement.
The content of the agreement was simple: Yan Che would unconditionally transfer all assets under his name to a charitable foundation.
Although, all of Yan Che's money had also come from the Fu Family... He looked at the document in front of him, then at Fu Yuan's beautiful, ice-cold face.
Suddenly, he laughed.
His laugh was uglier than a cry.
"Heh heh... heh heh heh heh..."
"In the end... I still have nothing..."
He showed no struggle or resistance, like a walking corpse, he picked up the pen and, with the hand Fu Yuan had personally broken, tremblingly signed his name at the end of the document.
Signing his name also declared his end, merely coming from a speck of dust and returning to a speck of dust.
The night after signing.
News came.
Yan Che had "committed suicide" in prison using a bedsheet.
This ambitious "substitute," this pathetic pawn who tried to become a "chess master," ultimately could not escape the tragic fate of a pawn... [Ding! Son of Destiny Yan Che has completely died! His core destiny as the protagonist of the "Substitute's Counterattack" storyline has been completely plundered! Villain Value +40000!]
[Ding! The storyline related to "Substitute Leaves After Three Years, She Regrets It Profoundly" has been completely terminated!]
The moment Yan Che died, the system's prompt accurately sounded in Lu Cheng's mind as he leisurely sipped his tea.
But... what about the other one?
What about Ling Tian?
Didn't he already possess the Iron Puppet and get sealed in that iron lump?
Why hasn't the prompt appeared yet... He opened the plot prediction about Ling Tian in the system.
[Son of Destiny Ling Tian, plotline not yet terminated!]
[Status Update: His remnant soul is sealed within the puppet's body. For unknown reasons, his core destiny is being siphoned by a new force...]
[A powerful new destiny is rapidly rising in the direction of the Demon Capital!]
[It seems to be related to the True Dragon Qi that previously dispersed!]
Lu Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
What?
The leeks I cut, I didn't get to eat, but someone else did?
True Dragon Qi... could it grant great destiny to ordinary people?
Then I'll just take it all back... The matters in the Imperial Capital quickly settled.
Under the leadership of the new patriarch Fu Changbai, and of course, with Lu Cheng's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the Fu Family had completely become a vassal of the Lu Family.
As for Fu Yuan, after personally dealing with that "scourge" Yan Che, she only wanted to stay by Lu Cheng's side and didn't want to leave him for a single step... As for family?
These two words now sounded to her like nothing but chilling indifference.
She had once poured her heart and soul into those two words, willingly becoming a pawn, paving the way for those so-called relatives.
With her father's downfall, she was also completely freed from the so-called family affairs.
From now on, she only wanted to live for herself, truly and genuinely, for once.
And so, Lu Cheng, embracing this yandere queen and dragging his sister who didn't want to go back to school, boarded a private plane back to the Demon Capital... Demon Capital International Airport.
The Lu Family's motorcade had long been waiting there.
Lu Cheng and Lu Xuan, the siblings, got into the familiar Rolls-Royce and slowly drove towards the city center.
However, just as the motorcade passed an intersection and waited for a red light,
An extremely ear-piercing engine roar suddenly came from nearby!
The three of them subconsciously turned to look...
They saw a Lamborghini Revuelto, painted in electric purple, with sleek, sharp lines and full of futuristic technology, speeding past their car with an extremely arrogant posture, ignoring traffic laws!
It even almost caused a scrape!
The violent roar seemed to engulf people, so loud that even the alarms on electric bikes by the roadside started blaring.
"Are they in a hurry to be reborn?!"
Lu Xuan never held back. She was about to erupt and sharply criticize this show-off driver...
But she only saw her cute, cherry-like mouth hanging wide open, too stunned to speak.
It wasn't because of anything else, but because she saw the scene in the driver's seat of the Lamborghini.
Driving that top-tier supercar was actually... a little kid who looked at most seven or eight years old, with some baby fat on his face?
In the passenger seat beside him sat a hot-bodied, beautiful young woman... The little kid, after noticing the Lu Family's motorcade next to them,
Even cast a contemptuous glance in their direction!
As if saying:
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a kid driving a sports car before?"
Immediately, without waiting for the red light to end, he stomped on the accelerator!
The purple Lamborghini let out another deafening roar and sped away!
Leaving behind only an incredibly arrogant silhouette and a crowd of dumbfounded onlookers.
"This... whose brat is this?! So arrogant!"
Lu Xuan finally reacted after a long moment, complaining.
Lu Cheng, however, looked in the direction where the sports car disappeared with great interest, revealing an expectant smile... Because just now, the moment that Lamborghini sped past his car!
His True Dragon Saint Body actually produced an extremely faint resonance in the direction of that little kid!
"There's actually... a child prodigy?"
