After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 499 Being an Ordinary Person

Lu Dingzuo put on a very surprised expression.

"My mother is busy, how could my son not be busy? That's a strange thing to say."

"Then let me ask you this: how are you going to explain all this to us? Didn't we agree on a partnership? Now... you've made your money and you want to discard us like dirt?"

The sixth aunt didn't know the whole story. She lowered her voice and said the second half of the sentence, thinking it would serve as a warning.

Lu Dingzuo's expression was even more comical than before.

“You… I shouldn’t be the one to say this, but I want to tell you that this has nothing to do with Mingye, and everyone will soon find out why.”

"It's not that you're targeting him, but why would everyone go out with him and not come back?"

Sixth Aunt didn't even notice that he had stopped using honorifics and continued to question him.

"Ugh."

Lu Dingzuo leaned closer to her mysteriously and said, "Anyway, it has to be reported, so it seems okay for me to tell you in advance. You guys shouldn't have offended that person."

Although he moved closer, he did not lower his voice.

The word "that person" is usually used to refer to some unspeakable existence, but... Sheng Hanyu is certainly not one of them.

So Lu Dingzuo didn't keep them in suspense for long, and said, "Do you know that there was an assassination and shooting incident here last night? Young Master Sheng was shot, as was Second Young Master Ye."

Indeed, Lu Mingye's reason was that Sheng Hanyu wanted to investigate the shooting incident. He described the whole thing as if Sheng Hanyu's anger would spread to the entire Lu family if he didn't take the initiative to bring people over.

What a convenient excuse! But the Lu family actually believed it.

Just like my sixth aunt now.

"What are you talking about? They left peacefully this morning, I saw it! And what does this have to do with us... no, my sister?" Of course, she still had to question it, but she was already starting to believe it and was even thinking about how to distance herself from it.

There's no way around it; one has to be realistic.

In her understanding, the Gong family, a top-tier family, was certainly more terrifying than the Lu family.

There's nothing we can do about it; some people just can't recognize that there are normal wealthy families in the world, and they all think that it should be like what they imagine.

Although they have no bad rumors and have a good public image, who can guarantee that "those who know the truth are all dead"?

Moreover, it's one thing for Sheng Hanyu to be shot, but what's more, it involves the second young master of the Ye family. How come this kind of thing happens on Lu family territory the moment Lu Mingye says he wants to pursue the third young lady of the Ye family? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

It can't be that Lu Mingye orchestrated this whole thing himself, and then used it as an opportunity to eliminate them...

No, why not just assume they're all in cahoots, stage a self-inflicted injury, and then use the opportunity to eliminate them?

But who can guarantee that Lu Mingye was meeting Ye Sanqing for the first time that day?

Besides, they all left normally, without showing any signs of injury.

If a shooting can be done like this, it's a complete failure; it's practically a performance!

"There must be a forensic report for this, why would I lie to you?"

Lu Dingzuo asked curiously, "I already said the announcement would be released soon. It's no use bluffing you for a day or two now."

"But you can't prove there's a relationship!" Aunt Liu said anxiously.

"Why should I prove anything? Isn't proving things the job of the police?" Lu Dingzu shook his head and said earnestly, "I told you that you can't just focus on your personal life, right? Look at you, you don't even have this kind of common sense."

"So you mean they were just cooperating with the investigation?"

Sixth Aunt seemed to have grasped some hope from his words and asked urgently.

"I didn't say that, but even if I did, ask yourself, would you believe it?"

He didn't need to explain further; his sixth aunt knew he was right.

She didn't think the sixth concubine would arrange a shooting. It wasn't like the casino was going to beat or threaten people normally. Why would she arrange a gun for no reason?

That thing is strictly prohibited in China. If someone actually fires it, wouldn't it be easy to find out if they investigate?

However, once you're in the police station...

Things that can't withstand scrutiny simply can't withstand scrutiny.

The others who went with her didn't know, but the sixth concubine was definitely not going to escape.

Could it be that they set a trap, just to get the sixth concubine in?

If this conspiracy was originally aimed at the Sixth Concubine, then nothing she does now will make a difference.

Thinking of this, Sixth Aunt's hair stood on end.

It sounds like the sixth concubine has no hope; she'd better pack her things and leave as soon as possible.

She didn't know exactly what business the sixth concubine handled, but casinos only had so many tricks up their sleeves, which even non-gamblers could guess.

In other words, it's impossible to come out completely clean.

"I suddenly remembered I have to pick my child up from school, so I have to go!"

After thinking of a reason, the sixth aunt immediately ran away.

Everyone looked at each other.

Where did she get this child? Her excuse is so half-hearted.

So, will they stay here, or...?

Should we just call it quits?

After all, it sounds like the sixth concubine is beyond saving, so it's better to take this opportunity to run away with her valuables before the seals come.

And so... the crowd really did start to disperse.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; that's exactly what happens.

There are a few stubborn ones left, but they are not a threat. Just have the bodyguards keep an eye on them.

Lu Dingzuo ignored them and went into the courtyard to report to the old master.

"Dad, they're all gone."

Grandpa Lu was watering the flowers at that moment.

Indeed, he would rather water the flowers than go out and face these self-proclaimed innocent people.

Hearing this, he simply nodded and continued with his work.

After a while, he beckoned Lu Dingzuo to sit down in the pavilion next to him.

“Mingye went too far this time, so don’t blame him.”

Although Old Master Lu was distressed by the cash flow generated by the casino, it was nothing compared to his desire for Lu Mingye to "be an ordinary person."

To be precise, while being an ordinary person, one must also clean up the gray areas and then only operate in the white industry.

If he hadn't hesitated back then, this problem wouldn't have remained unresolved to this day.

So even though the old man himself didn't want to admit it, it was indeed something he hadn't been able to accomplish back then, so now that his grandson had this opportunity, he only wanted to see him succeed.

Lu Dingzuo seemed to have no need to make any further statements beyond nodding.

"Of course not, Mingye just did what he was supposed to do."

At this point, Lu Dingzuo wanted to take the opportunity to praise Lu Mingye, but then thought better of it.

Lu Mingye usually contacts the old man directly, so why should he be the one to comment?

"Sigh, Lao Liu and the others should go in too. They're really persistent..."

The old man shook his head, as if he were just an emotionless ashtray, completely unaffected by the ambient noise.

Lu Dingzuo was secretly alarmed, but at the same time he began to feel fortunate that he was born a male.

You don't have to face this kind of problem at all!
