Chapter 474: Chapter 474 This is the price you pay for provoking me (6)_1

A deep sense of fear took over Xu Tengfei’s body.

It had been more than twenty years since he had felt this way.

Since making a name for himself on the docks, he had never been so afraid again.

Yet today, he felt this fear due to a boy who was still wet behind the ears!

And he was even a cripple who couldn’t walk the roads properly!

Only after the Lu Family’s subordinate who was holding the documents had left without a trace did Xu Tengfei come to his senses. In desperation, he pleaded with Lu Zhanyu:

"Young Master Lu, I was wrong! I beg you to consider that I didn’t really intend to harm your life, and I didn’t cause you any substantial injury. Please, spare me this once! I’m willing to offer other forms of compensation! Can’t you please be more lenient?"

Xu Tengfei begged for mercy, setting aside his dignity to save his life.

He knelt and pleaded to a crippled young boy he had never thought much of.

Because he knew that once that evidence reached the police, he would indeed spend the rest of his life in prison, just as the ’little cripple’ had said!

"No." Lu Zhanyu calmly refused, without a hint of pity.

"Young Master Lu, even if I was wrong, don’t you think the price I have to pay is too high?"

"That is the price you pay for provoking me," Lu Zhanyu said calmly.

Lu Zhanyu never mentioned that he was exacting revenge for Susu.

"Young Master Lu! This is really just a misunderstanding... I truly didn’t mean to provoke you..."

Xu Tengfei tried to argue further, but Lu Zhanyu cut him off.

"Take him out," Lu Zhanyu ordered his subordinate.

Xu Tengfei froze for a moment, and then the same person who had "invited" him earlier came forward to "escort" him out.

Out of fear, even as he was being dragged out of the room, Xu Tengfei kept shouting back into the room, "Young Master Lu! I really didn’t intend to take your life..."

In the face of Xu Tengfei’s accusations and shouts, Lu Zhanyu turned a deaf ear.

As if nothing had happened, he continued to read a new picture book to Susu.

"Susu, which one would you like to hear now?" Lu Zhanyu let Susu choose.

"Want to listen to this one," Susu, entirely unaffected by Xu Tengfei, had eyes only for the little stories on the pages of the picture book.

"Okay," Lu Zhanyu softly agreed, and then began to read Susu a new picture book, "There was a little black crow, it wanted to become white, so..."

Lu Zhanyu’s gentle voice echoed through the room.

Susu was utterly engrossed, her eyes not blinking.

Lu Zhanyu occasionally glanced at her, seeing the little one’s dazed expression, and thinking about her "ferocious" manner when she was fighting to protect someone, a tender smile appeared on his face.

Qin Yuze had been coming home late and leaving early for several days. Susu was still in bed when he left, and he wasn’t back by the time she went to sleep.

So much so that Susu hadn’t seen him in a long time.

What had her young nephew been up to? Was he up to no good again?

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Susu ran to ask the old Mrs. Qin, "Mom, where’s my little nephew?"

"Your little nephew has a very important matter to attend to recently," the old Mrs. Qin explained softly.

"What is this very important matter?" Susu asked.

"Your little nephew has the college entrance exam in a few days. He has been studying late into the night, and he has to take extra classes on weekends," old Mrs. Qin said.

"College entrance exam? What’s that?" Susu asked, tilting her head, puzzled.
