Chapter 570: 570
“That’s what Red said,” After Ethan Lu exited the conference room, Lyrick Jiang came up from behind and relayed the reports he just received .
“I’ll go to her myself . ” Nodding his head, a sharp glint flashed across Ethan Lu’s eyes . Just the beginning of their all out investigation and the pieces were slowly coming together .
The more Ethan Lu hear about the result in each of his men’s side, the more Dylan Lu’s presence to him grew stronger . If Dylan Lu was truly involved in this, then Ethan Lu was afraid he could not let Dennis Lu apprehend his son as Ethan Lu would do it himself .
“But . . . “
“No buts . Ready the car, we’ll go now . ” Without turning to Lyrick Jiang behind him, Ethan Lu affirmed . Hence, Lyrick Jiang could only bow his head and execute the order .
Same as Ethan Lu, Lyrick Jiang could smell the disaster that was about to occur in the Lu Family . Everyone knew the capabilities of the Lu, however, after Edward Lu’s reign, tons of things happened and changed .
Still, now that Ethan Lu was the family head, the dreading tension that has always in the family was slowly building up . Extreme schemes were being done behind the scenes . Lives of others were being used just to bring down Ethan Lu .
With that thought, how could Ethan Lu forgive them? Granting that his family wasn’t touched, yet a person like Ethan Lu would never in his life accept this type of scheme .
They could embezzle money from the company, sabotage Ethan Lu’s plans, and so on, and Ethan Lu would repay them fair justice . But, having other people drag into this scheme, take someone as hostage were the biggest no no .
‘Dylan . . . Lin . . . which of the two . . . ?’ As Ethan Lu headed back to his office, his mind gravitated who could be the person orchestrated this .

Regardless of the two, Ethan Lu had to make his move before Louis Lu does . Even if he needed to go extreme, he couldn’t let this go out of hand than it already was .
When Ethan Lu arrived in his office, he stopped in the entrance momentarily . Inside the office, Dennis Lu was sitting on one couch while reading a magazine that was placed on his lap .
“What do you want?” Cold and unwelcoming, Ethan Lu closed the door behind him as he went straight to his desk .
Dennis Lu cleared his throat as she closed the magazine . Returning it on top of the small table, Dennis Lu set his eyes on Ethan Lu . “Do you know Avah returned?”
Upon hearing the woman’s name, Ethan Lu’s right brow arched . Hence, Ethan Lu turned his head to Dennis Lu as he leaned on the edge of his desk . “What about it?”
“So, you knew?” Seeing the lack of reaction from his nephew, Dennis Lu asked vaguely .
“Know that she returned or the fact that she was your mistress?”
“Hah,” Upon hearing Ethan Lu’s last remarks, Dennis Lu scoffed . “Was your ego hurt, so you sent her to seduce me again?” A displeased glint flickered across Dennis Lu’s eyes as a mocking sneer formed on the side of his lips .
“Is that what she said?” Arching his brows, Ethan Lu slightly raised his chin up as he crossed his arms across his abdomen .
“Where’s the child?” After his meeting with Avah Tong, Dennis Lu was already suspicious why on earth she decided to meet him .
Obviously, he knew the woman and what’s between them were nothing but a give and take relationship . Dennis Lu never loved Avah Tong and vice versa .
He supported Avah Tong’s needs financially, and she satiate his lust . Therefore, it was not a surprise that they wouldn’t get in touch again after the whole incident with Ethan Lu years ago .

However, she returned and was looking for a child that Dennis Lu knew should be with her . Actually, although Dennis Lu didn’t love her, there was no doubt that the child was his .
Dennis Lu didn’t want his illegitimate child to be an embarrassment in the future . His blood still runs in his veins . Thus, even if the child was the fruit of his infidelity, he would support yhe child willingly .
But now, he came to know that the child has been missing for years now . How could he not be enraged and Ethan Lu was the first person who came in his mind .
Despite that, there was a small part of Dennis Lu that doubt Avah Tong’s words . The reason he confronted Ethan Lu .
“Uncle, do you really think I’d hide the child? For what?” Ethan Lu stared straight at his uncle . “Do you think I’d hide my cousin to spite you? Perhaps, you thought, I want that woman in my life again?” Tilting his head to the side, Ethan Lu asked sarcastically .
“Then, what happened that night?” Since Ethan Lu made sense, Dennis Lu clenched his jaw .
“Just like what you heard . . . and then a missing child . If the kid is not in your custody, he’s not under my wing either . ” Slowly, Ethan Lu straightened his posture . “If I were you, ask the people who knew about this affair of yours — maybe, ask Auntie or . . . your dear son . ” Ethan Lu emphasized Dylan Lu’s name which made the corner of Dennis Lu’s lips curved downward .
Ethan Lu wouldn’t be surprised if his cousin was involved in this . If Dylan Lu was, it only meant that he had been scheming behind while facading as some prince uninterested in the Lu’s power struggle .
Just then, a knock was heard from the outside before it slowly opened, revealing Lyrick Jiang . “Director Lu,” he greeted with a slight bow upon seeing Dennis Lu’s figure .
“Master, everything is ready . ” Lyrick Jiang informed politely and Ethan Lu nodded his head in understanding .
“I have to leave first, Uncle . ” Gesturing his uncle out, Dennis Lu humphed as he stood .
“Ethan, I won’t let you off if I know you’re involved with this . ” Dennis Lu warned as he stomped his feet out of the office . However, when he reached the door, his tracks stopped hearing Ethan Lu’s emotionless words .
“Same . Uncle, stopped your corruption right now and focus on the development of the company as an executive director . I’ll be cleaning the family — I won’t be lenient this time . ” Despite saying this piece of threat, Ethan Lu contradicted it as he was surely being biased for warning him for the last time .
Dennis Lu just scoffed before he resumed on his tracks and left the office .
Ethan Lu heavily exhaled before he gestured Lyrick Jiang for them to go . “Let’s go,”
