Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Really Audacious

Lu Jing wasn’t dumb, of course he understood.

Cough.

"Who else could it be?"

He definitely wouldn’t admit it outright.

When Zheng Heming wasn’t with those four people, he obviously looked normal. Was there any sign of naivety then?

He just looked like a sly capitalist, okay?

After all, those who can hang out together are surely not immune to influence. All of them smell of money!

Zheng Heming laughed uncontrollably:

"If Old Fourth hears what you said, Jing, you’re going to be in big trouble!"

Hiss~

Lu Jing was quite uneasy; how could he just blurt it out like that?

"Fifth Brother!"

Zheng Heming almost died laughing:

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop. Jing, please give my regards to Old Fourth!"

Lu Jing exhaled heavily:

"Got it."

Since it was undeniable, all he could do was agree.

Zheng Heming left, satisfied, but Lu Jing who remained behind was quite troubled.

See, he knew once the issue was exposed, all these events were bound to happen.

But, how did things get to this?

Ah well, one step at a time.

What else could he do?

Luckily, a certain someone wasn’t here and, moreover, his family didn’t know yet.

...

The banquet tonight finally ended at ten o’clock.

After seeing off the last guest, everyone was utterly exhausted.

He really wanted to just collapse and sleep right there.

But unfortunately, that was not an option.

The wedding tomorrow wasn’t being held here.

Ah, he still had to go back.

Half an hour later, Lu Jing had already returned to his room.

The cold wind he faced all the way had sobered him up a bit; he wasn’t that sleepy.

He found a nightgown in his closet and headed to the bathroom, planning to take a quick shower.

He had no energy to soak in the bath tonight.

He had to save time.

At this very moment, over at the Jiang Family’s villa in the same neighborhood.

Everyone in the house had settled down for the night, but upstairs, a window in one room opened.

Immediately, a figure nimbly jumped down from it, making virtually no noise at all.

After landing, the figure quickly headed towards the perimeter wall, glanced at it twice, and climbed up effortlessly.

Was this even a challenge?

It seemed to be nothing compared to his usual training intensity.

Right, the person who had jumped down from the second floor and scaled the wall was none other than Jiang Ye!

He was still in his checkered pajamas and slippers.

Confidently, he headed towards the Lu Family’s villa.

The villa neighborhood was usually quiet with few people around, so at this time, he wouldn’t encounter even a ghost, let alone a person.

Upon reaching the Lu Family’s place, this person didn’t intend to go through the main entrance.

Circle from the front to the back, the perimeter wall seemed to be about two meters high, similar to the Jiang Family’s.

So, for this person, it was too easy.

No need to take a run-up; a simple jump was enough.

Meanwhile, Lu Jing had just come out of the bathroom and didn’t plan to do anything else, but went directly to bed and pulled the covers over.

Just as his eyes closed, he heard some noise outside the balcony.

Huh?

He didn’t get up; this villa neighborhood, apparently, had never had issues with thieves or anything.

He turned over, planning to continue sleeping.

But, within not even three seconds, he sensed something wasn’t right.

He suddenly opened his eyes, not having fully reacted, when a figure pounced on him:

"Lu Jing!"

Huh?

"Jiang Ye?"

No, wait, what’s he doing here?

So, that noise just now, was it him making a racket climbing in?

Truly unbelievably audacious!

"Jiang Ye, get off of me!"

Heavy death.
