To Love You Again

Chapter 132 - Conjectures

It only took a few minutes and the staff came. Old Lu appeared afterward.

It was good that Linfeng aid Lu Yin Ze quickly. Thus, making Lu Yin Ze avoid hell's gate.

Old Lu reacted quickly in the situation and made all the staff concealed what happened. They transferred Lu Yin Ze to another floor, the health floor specifically, for him to rest. The medical staff was already busying themselves there.

Since the start of the night was not able to entertain the guest anymore, Old Lu stayed at the party and called it a day earlier than scheduled. Some people wondered why the main protagonist of the event was not at the party. But they did not question. They were happier to let the Old Lu stayed with them until the end. Since having his presence and favor was a one-time chance to grab.

So Lu Yin Ze's birthday party ended like that.

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng were seating in the car. They were on their way to the Xiong Mansion.

The ending of the event was too unexpected.

They have been in the dim part of the garden when they heard someone's voice.

They both were surprised and Linfeng quickly distanced himself away from her.

She was surprised at how he acted so fast. Like he was afraid that someone might see them dancing with each other.

However, what Xiong Zhi was thinking was true.

For them to have dance in the dim part of the garden, people who would discover them would misunderstand their relationship at once. What more, he was only a butler, not deserved to dance the young miss in and out of the light.

That's why, when he asked her to dance, he was guarded to their surroundings. He would distance himself quickly and stand aside like a butler should before someone discovered their presence.

That's why he found the man's presence quickly when he was about to approach them.

But then another man came. They could not hear well since the man's voice was so low and his words vanished along with the breeze.

They were on the other side of the fountain.? So both of them just remain standing and let the men on the other side finished their business. Xiong Zhi and Linfeng both thought that they would go after the three men left.

The three men's interaction was only for a moment.

Linfeng finally no longer felt the two man's presence. He took a peek at the other side when he saw the man dropped to the ground to kneel.

"Something 's wrong."

Xiong Zhi was staring at the man's back who was leaving when she heard Linfeng.

She turned to look at the other man.

"..!"

She runs quickly to Lu Yin Ze's side. She saw Lu Yin Ze was having difficulty in breathing.

She doesn't know the proper first aid so she let Linfeng help Lu Yin Ze while she ran to the staff.

She quickly told them the situation and to handle the matter discreetly.

The staff followed her instructions.

Soon later, Old Lu came and they followed him, both she and Linfeng, to the health care floor.

Xiong Zhi stayed in Lu Yin Ze's big room until the doctor told them that Lu Yin Ze's condition now stabilized and he was now sleeping.

Old Lu then thanked them and talked to them briefly.

Xiong Zhi knew what Old Lu wants.

"Don't worry, Master Lu. Lu Yin Ze is my friend."

Xiong Zhi's meaning behind those words was she would keep it a secret of what happened.

"Im sorry for troubling you. Once again, I'm very thankful you are there."

"There's no need to thank us. As I said, Lu Yin Ze is my friend."

Old Lu just smiled with exhaustion in his face. If he was not anxious and worried right now he must have praised the girl in front of him of how she handles things. But he was not in the mood.

"Let my staff guide you to the garden. The party not yet ends..." Old Lu started.

Xiong Zhi knew what Old Lu wants them to do. That was to go back to the party like nothing happened. If two heir from the legendary family was gone, people might wander what happened and it might start unwanted rumors.

"I understand. "

Xiong Zhi actually wanted to say about what happened like how a tall man talked to Lu Yin Ze before Lu Yin Ze had an anxiety attack. But seeing how the old man seems tired made Xiong Zhi kept it herself. Old Lu did not also ask her the details of what happened. Then it might be because Old Lu has his own suspicions about it.

In no time, Old Lu would know.

With this conclusion in mind, Xiong Zhi took one glance to the room where Lu Yin Ze was. She truly hope he would get better.

The pair went back to the garden. Old Lu soon followed.

"Young Miss." Linfeng softly called Xiong Zhi as she was just silent the whole way.

"Yes?" Xiong Zhi stopped her mind from wandering about the tall man.

"This. I think it belongs to the second young master Lu." In Linfeng's palm, there was a small box.

Xiong Zhi glanced at it. Then glanced at Linfeng, then she fell in deep thought.

'Why? Why Linfeng did not give it to Master Lu but to her instead? Did he perhaps..'

"Do you know that man?" Xiong Zhi asked Linfeng.

Linfeng stared at her eyes. Seeing how she asked him, Linfeng was impressed inside.

"I'm not so sure. But the only person who can act like that in front of a Lu, and who can go in and out of the hotel is the first young master."

'First young master...'

The mysterious first young master of Lu.

The back of the tall man once again flashed in Xiong Zhi's mind. Somehow, she felt like she had seen that person before. He gives off a familiar feeling. But Xiong Zhi was sure that she never meets the first young master in her past life. And this was the first time she met him in this life too.

She thought more about it. But she could not really grasp it. She decided not to hurt heard head from thinking too much of that person and ask another question that was bothering her.

"Why did you not give this box to Master Lu, earlier?"

Linfeng smiled lightly. It was perhaps time for him to guide his young miss to the games of mind in high society.

" I believe you already know the answer. "

Xiong Zhi slightly raised her brow.

It's unlike Linfeng.

But as Linfeng said, she had answers. But she was not sure if it was true.

It was all conjectures.

Seeing how Xiong Zhi fell in deep thoughts and sometimes furrowed her brow, Linfeng suggested.

"Let's hear it." Linfeng also wanted to know how far Xiong Zhi perceives things.

"I wanted to ask things first since I don't know about the Lu family."

"Alright." It's a fair deal.

"I just heard about it. But the first and second young master is not on good terms?"

"Yes," Linfeng answered without hesitation.

This made Xiong Zhi lowered her gaze and her eyes flickered.

She just knew about it because she meets Lu Yin Ze in the hospital. She happens to hear Lu Yin Ze's monologue when he wanted to jump from the rooftop. That time, Lu Yin Ze said about his father killing his mother and the man he trusts who he despises.

It was a big secret that was never known to society. And if it's known, it will cause a huge uproar.

And Xiong Zhi, from the very beginning when she heard that never minds it and consider it that she never heard about it. Since it wasn't her place to mingle in that matter and she doesn't want to know it either.

Even Lu Yin Ze was her friend she doesn't plan to intrude in that complex situation. Unless he asked help from her. But for now, they are both powerless. She was still building her own strength.

But what she was surprised was Linfeng seems to know that there is a feud between the two masters of the Lu. They might be rumors that since the two were both contenders of the position of being the Master Lu of the Lu Empire, the two grew to be in each other 's throat. But it was all a rumor. It was never proven true.

But Linfeng told her confidently that the two are real rivals.

This made Xiong Zhi wandered, how great Linfeng's connection is? She wanted to know more about him. His plans. His goals. But she knew it was not yet the time.

So she let it pass and continued.

"Since Master Lu undoubtedly supports Lu Yin Ze, then the first young master had someone supporting him too."

Linfeng just listened to her quietly.

"Someone...that goes against to Master Lu."

Linfeng was really impressed by her way of thinking. Xiong Zhi's thoughts were in the right track. He nodded to her to continue.
