Will Chapter 223 fail?
After the helicopter hovered, Lü Haotian rappelled down using the sling, said goodbye to the helicopter, and left the scene in a pre-arranged vehicle.
"You gave me a taste of what it's like to be a pawn today." Chi Jinghui chuckled lightly, his cool voice carrying a chilling undertone.
"Don't say that. If you don't want to come, there's nothing I can do." Lü Haotian's expression relaxed, and his body became slightly more relaxed.
Chi Jinghui pressed his hand to his chest, the pain rushing in like a flood. He broke out in a cold sweat, his brows furrowed, trying not to make a sound.
"After tonight, Chi Ruiche will find you too. But why did you arrest Youjun? If I hadn't seen it."
Lu Haotian spoke calmly, his dark eyes staring straight at him through the darkness, "I suppose you don't intend to tell me either."
Once he recovered, Chi Jinghui leaned back weakly, his hands hanging limply, dark clouds slowly gathering in his eyes, as if trying to swallow everything around him.
"What do you want now?"
Chi Jinghui ignored him and answered to himself, "You said you wanted to trample the Lü family underfoot back then, what about you now?"
A self-deprecating smile flickered in Lü Haotian's eyes. "Same."
"You and Lü Haoyi are brothers, why?" Chi Jinghui narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of calculation.
Lu Haotian didn't answer. Why? He hadn't even considered it. He hated fake family ties, hated people who were clearly in the dark yet still fantasized about the light. He wanted to tear apart all this facade, all this hypocrisy.
"Mr. Chi, you should know everything about me before you asked me to cooperate with you."
In the cramped carriage, the two stared at each other. In the darkness, a faint, cold smile played on Lü Haotian's lips, accompanied by a hint of morbid allure.
“You and Lü Haoyi are lucky to have Zhou Guangzhen as your father, which allows you to take the place of the eldest son of the Lü family. As for you, the real eldest son of the Lü family, you can only be the second son.”
“Back in the day, when the Lü family was in crisis, a huge sum of money was invested, presumably because of you,” Chi Jinghui said casually. “One of the few people who survived the Southeast Asian arms smuggling business.”
"Hehe." Lü Haotian's laughter deepened, becoming ghostly and terrifying.
"Your Lü family's method of training people is exactly the same as ours. When your hands are stained with blood and you stand in the gray area of this world, you are destined to lose the will to struggle. And you are the family's best 'assassins,' but not heirs."
Thinking of all this, Chi Jinghui couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, but it sounded like a wild beast roaring at the sky.
“Mr. Chi, your expression tells me that I realized this earlier than you.” These seemingly casual words, however, were as chilling as a winter wind.
"You are smarter than I thought."
"We've known each other for so many years. You've been planning everything from behind the scenes, and all I have to do is follow your instructions without saying or asking questions. But lately you've been getting more and more impatient."
Why do you think that is?
The confrontation between the two officially began, each word spoken like a game of chess, measured and unpredictable, leaving no room for the other to maneuver.
"You don't have time."
Lu Haotian mercilessly exposed him, "Do you think you've covered it up well? You've investigated everything about me, do you think I'd just sit here and wait to die?"
"Haha, the outcome of your battle with my nephew is still uncertain."
Chi Jinghui answered casually. Through the car window, the vehicle drove into the flashing neon lights and sped forward in the endless stream of traffic.
"You should be worried about yourself. After planning for so long, will you fail?" Lu Haotian's voice was flat, and his icy eyes were devoid of any warmth.
