Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Testing by Changing Faces

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Fu Junhang took care of business abroad and immediately made a trip to the Port City Mu Family.

The old lady was very happy to see him, but when she heard he was there to find someone, she immediately sensed that something was not simple.

And from her, Fu Junhang learned something.

He secretly rushed back to Yun City.

Leaving his daughter at a more secure research base, Lu Xining went alone with a group of bodyguards to Yunqiao Village.

At the appointed time, a grand procession of vehicles appeared at the entrance to the village.

The living conditions of the villagers in Yunqiao Village were very simple. The officials had been informed of the situation by Lu Xining beforehand and had directly arranged for the villagers to be relocated to Fuxian, where it was more convenient for the children left behind in the village to attend school.

They also promised to rebuild on the original site within a year and give the villagers a new home.

Now the villagers of Yunqiao Village had all moved to the county town for temporary transition, except for the household of Lu Xining. This left no others in the village, which made it convenient for her to handle subsequent matters.

Cheng Cang had long known about the empty state of Yunqiao Village and looked up at the standalone small building, guessing in his mind what Lu Xining’s purpose was for this move.

The rest who got out of the car after him, seeing the wet ground not yet dry, all frowned.

Usually traveling by private jets and limousines, these scions of wealthy families had never seen such muddy ground, let alone having endured such a long car ride, already full of complaint in their hearts, they began to grumble one after another.

"What a dump this place is, even if you want to find a scenic spot, wouldn’t the resorts in Rong City do?"

"There’s just too much dust, Cheng Cang, are you sure the heir of the Chu Family lives here?"

"Ah, my high heels! Why isn’t there a red carpet laid out, my newly bought lambskin soles can’t get wet."

Noisy voices of men and women gradually rose outside the door.

Lu Xining sat emotionlessly on the sofa in the study, sipping coffee while watching the projection screen covering the entire wall.

The high-definition cameras captured the emotions of these people from all angles.

Compared to the men and women wearing haute couture suits and designer gowns, with hair styled to perfection down to each strand, Cheng Cang, with his neat crew cut and a black windbreaker, stood in the middle of these people looking quite out of place.

Lu Xining’s fingers gripping the coffee cup slightly tensed. No matter how they grumbled, not a single person dared to approach Cheng Cang.

This man’s status seemed to be even higher than she anticipated.

Cheng Cang: "Let’s go inside."

His gaze fell upon the bodyguards at the door; all faces unfamiliar, not the ones he had seen by Lu Xining’s side at the research base before.

But... is this all the people she brought?

As he entered through the main gate of the courtyard, Cheng Cang took a sweeping glance at the number of bodyguards around him; if you add them all up, there were scarcely 20 people.

The villa’s main door had already been opened from the inside.

Seeing an empty living room, Cheng Cang’s gaze narrowed slightly, with those following behind him all showing impatience.

"Where is everyone? Wasn’t it agreed at ten o’clock? How come no one is here, surely we’re not expected to wait?"

The speaking woman, looking disdainfully at the clean slippers prepared at the door, walked directly into the living room with her muddy high heels.

Seeing this, the others entered as well.

As soon as he entered, Cheng Cang noticed something wrong, and kept a cautious note in his heart.

He had understood before that this was where Lu Xining and her daughter had lived for two years, and behind the mountain lay her grandmother’s grave.

But now, within sight, other than essential furniture, there wasn’t a single child’s belonging.

All things related to her daughter, Lu Xining had long ordered the maid to pack up neatly and sent them to the research base accommodation in Fuxian.

The first woman to grow impatient looked around at the arrangements and frowned, "This is too shabby, isn’t it?"

"Cheng Cang, what kind of riddle are you playing with us? Why don’t you just tell us who the Chu Family’s heir is? Could it be that you’re still worried we might harm her?"

She was the only woman among these people, all the rest related to the Chu Family were men.

"Fang Lingling, be quiet."

Cheng Cang sat quietly on the sofa, looking up towards the direction of the staircase, waiting for the person upstairs to come down.

He had a hunch that Lu Xining was definitely looking down on them from upstairs at this moment.

Indeed, as he had guessed.

Lu Xining finished the last sip of coffee in her cup, having also finished observing the emotional performance of these people.

Apart from Cheng Cang and the ever-complaining Fang Lingling.

There were five other men who had come.

Three of the men were in their fifties, while the remaining two appeared younger, probably in their thirties.

Lu Xining had some impression of these people; they were familiar faces often seen in finance magazines.

Time ticked away, and still, there was no sign of the person upstairs coming down.

Fang Lingling, somewhat agitated, said, "Are we going to meet or not? Do you have any idea how much money I can make in a minute? You all know that. The time wasted here could have allowed me to sign several deals."

Although the others did not speak, their impatience was just as evident in their expressions.

But men, always like to put on an act.

Through Fang Lingling’s words, they probed Cheng Cang’s attitude towards the matter at hand, while those shrewd eyes never stopped surveying their surroundings.

When the time seemed about right, Lu Xining slowly emerged from the study.

She did not take the elevator, but instead descended the staircase.

Hearing noises from the stairs, Cheng Cang immediately stood up, ready to speak, but was silenced by the coffee cup thrown by Lu Xining.

Before Cheng Cang could introduce their identities, Lu Xining took the offensive.

She said with displeasure, "What’s all the noise about? Is this a marketplace?"

The sharp sound of the breaking cup immediately halted the conversation in the room, even Fang Lingling’s train of thought was interrupted by Lu Xining’s unexpected action, and a murky light flashed in her eyes.

Lu Xining, with a sharp gaze, looked toward Cheng Cang standing by the sofa. The coffee cup didn’t hit him, but smashed at his feet.

"Cheng Cang, didn’t you say these people are my Chu Family’s servants?"

The several people who heard this remark immediately darkened in the face, it being the first time they had ever been talked to like this.

"Cheng Cang, is this how you introduce us?!"

Seeing a flicker of murderous intent in their eyes, Lu Xining sneered inwardly and continued her act.

She arrogantly lifted her chin and said, "Isn’t that the case?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Cang was silent for a long time.

He was somewhat uncertain about why Lu Xining’s personality had suddenly changed. Could it be... a test?

Cheng Cang wasn’t clear about what was happening.

And these people, meeting her for the first time, were even more clueless.

Fang Lingling, who had been incessantly complaining just a moment ago, now patiently took the opportunity to scrutinize this person before her, whose appearance was flawless.

After pondering for a moment.

Cheng Cang still took the initiative to introduce the identities of these people, with an implied warning.

"Miss Lu, they are..."
