Then he said calmly, “At least you know what’s good for you. Don’t worry, I’ll settle this matter for you! I hope you can keep your word. Otherwise, I won’t let you have it easy.”

Seeing this, Lu Yaohua heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not bet on the wrong person. If this person was stubborn, his life in prison would be ruined!

After all, what he was most afraid of here was that the prisoners had any contact with the outside world. If not for the fact that when he was lying in the infirmary, he happened to hear others talking about who could accept ‘gifts’ in the prison and who was the most impartial, his plan to see Lu Ming would probably be ruined before it even began.

While he returned to his cell to wait, he paced back and forth anxiously. He did not know if his eldest son was still willing to see him because he had caused such an ugly scene in the past. If it were him, he would definitely be unwilling and would even kick him when he was down.

However, he hoped that Lu Ming was a kind child. Such conflicted thoughts tugged at each other in his mind. At the end of the day, even though he was in dire straits now, his selfishness had long been deeply engraved in his bones! He even found an excuse to feel good about himself. Now that Lu Ming Corporation was developing well, if Lu Ming didn’t want to be labeled as unfilial, he had to come and visit him.

Even though he convinced himself like this, his clenched fists revealed his true thoughts. He knew that even if this matter spread, it would not affect the Lu Ming Corporation much. Instead, the dirty things he had done would be exposed again! His mind went into overdrive with these conflicted thoughts, so much so that he did not sleep after he was done and sat in a daze until dawn.

He had never felt that time could be so slow.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the superintendent from yesterday suddenly appeared in front of the cell and said, “Number 485, someone wants to see you.”

These words made Lu Yaohua jump up from his spot. His face lit up with uncontrollable joy! Lu Ming was really willing to see him! Could it be that he was moved by compassion?! Indeed, blood was thicker than water. Even if he was in a high position, he was unwilling to let his own father end up in prison! When he got out, he would definitely praise this good son!

When he walked briskly to the reception room and saw an unfamiliar face, he was stunned. Who is this person? He searched his memory carefully, but it was blank! He didn’t think he had seen this person before. Could he have come to the wrong place? Damn!

A young man in branded casual clothes met his gaze and said with a smile, “You’re Lu Yaohua?”

That familiar smile… Sh*t!

Even if Lu Yaohua was a ghost, he would be able to recognize that this person was definitely related to Lu Ming! Otherwise, how could their expressions be the same? Moreover, unless they were especially familiar with each other, they would not be able to learn everything! He sat down with a stiff face. There was a transparent glass between the two of them, and the phone beside him was the bridge for them to communicate. There was also a serious-looking prison guard standing beside them to monitor them.

He had already been informed about the matter by the superintendent in advance.

“Who are you? Where’s Lu Ming? Didn’t I ask him to come over?”

He was clearly asking for a favor, but he sounded like he was the boss.

Zhou Feng rolled his eyes in his heart. Initially, Boss wanted the others to come, but they were either busy or on a business trip. Only a coolie like him was still helping in the capital, so the task of visiting the prison fell to him. Therefore, he explained, “I’m considered an external staff of the Lu Ming Corporation. I’m directly under Mr. Lu. After knowing that you wanted to see him, he asked me to come.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his phone camera and aimed it at the disheveled Lu Yaohua. He said, “Don’t you want to see him? Just say what you want to say. You can treat me as air or as if I don’t exist.”

How could he pretend that he didn’t exist!?

On the other end of the video call, Lu Ming was leisurely basking in the sun with a gorgeous fruit in his hand. It looked very sweet! And he was still suffering in prison. Such a huge disparity in their circumstances was hard for him to accept! He took a deep breath and tried not to flare up.

He thought that he had come with good news, but he didn’t expect that Lu Ming wasn’t even here in person! The young man in front of him wasn’t even an employee of Lu Ming Corporation! Wasn’t he blatantly telling him that with his value, he wasn’t worthy of a real employee of Lu Ming Corporation?

If Zhou Feng knew what he was thinking, he would definitely deny it firmly. Recently, Lu Ming Corporation had been stabilizing the situation and could not spare any manpower at all. Even he had a lot of work to do, so it was the truth that he could not arrange any manpower!

“Why are you unwilling to see me?”

Lu Yaohua gritted his teeth and questioned.

He did not give him any face at all. How could he have such a rebellious son?! After he died, it would not be strange if Lu Ming danced on his grave! However, he had no choice but to rely on him now, so he could only put on a fake smile. Little did he know that others would think that it was quite strange.

Lu Ming said indifferently, “What right do you have to ask me that? You must have spent the last of your savings contacting the prison guards this time, right? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought that a newcomer like you could be ranked in such a short time. In fact, it’s not surprising that you contacted me. After all, I’m your last hope. After all…

“I casually asked the relevant personnel, but no one seems to have come to see you. Lu Yaohua, you’re alone. Even if you really die, no one will remember you. How pitiful! The boss of the Lu Corporation, who was so glorious back then, actually has to spend his middle age in prison.”

Lu Yaohua almost vomited blood! Are they here to anger me to death? Why were their words so unbearable? He had completely forgotten that he had said something worse than this when he was proud! His body began to tremble subconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Lu Ming continued to add fuel to the fire, “There was this saying in the past, right? The Tang family is filled with gold. As their son-in-law, you have a good backing. Just Lu Ze’s 100-day banquet alone cost hundreds of millions! Such extravagance made many people jealous. At that time, they would never have thought that your glory would only last for a short 10 years, right?

“But that’s enough. Some people won’t be able to reach your luxury even if they save up for the rest of their lives.”

He paused and smiled a devilish smile. “How does it feel?” he said. “Falling from heaven to hell.”
