“It is my responsibility, I, willingly accept any punishment!”
A middle-aged man, looking extremely remorseful, suddenly fell to one knee and prostrated himself in worship of the person in front of him.
In front of him was an old man with a vicissitudes of face. The old man was dressed simply, but the cut of the material was extremely fine, and on his body, there was a feeling of great elegance.
Beside the old man, stood a long, thin man, who was in his forties, with an indifferent gaze, everything in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
“Ah Xiao Jiang, you know, in fact, it is not your responsibility either, but whether it is your responsibility or not, you must take this responsibility and accept this punishment, do you understand?”
The old man’s voice was still quite gentle, but the gentle tone of voice naturally contained a forcefulness.
“No, Captain, it is my responsibility! The third young master was within the confines of Jiangnan Institute when something happened, it is the responsibility of Jiangnan Institute, Jiang Chunnan willingly accepted the punishment willingly, I failed to protect the third young master, it is my dereliction of duty, accepting the punishment is what will make my heart feel better.”
The person kneeling on the ground was none other than Jiang Chunnan.
“Well, that’s fine.”
The old man nodded and seemed unwilling to say more, “Xiao Jiang you have also done for the Lu family for more than twenty years, I have seen your hard work, how about this, you will rush to Hangzhou within three days, there is a villa on the West Lake in Hangzhou, there are three luxury cars in the garage, on the coffee table in the living room of the villa, there is the property deed of the villa, and the title deeds of the ten shops in Martial Square, the title holders will all will be your name ……”
When Jiang Chunnan heard this, his body suddenly shook and his face showed a look of extreme pain.
“Captain! Please, don’t punish me like this!”
Jiang Chunnan raised his head, his eyes slightly teary, “I have been alone and suffering for half of my life, suffering from the cold eyes of the world, but it was the captain who looked up to me and gave me the opportunity to work for the family, giving me a respect and status I have never had before. Please, Captain, take back the punishment you just gave me, I will accept any punishment!”
“Alas.”
The old man sighed, “How could I not know what you are like? I let you call me Captain and not Grand Master, just because I still always thought of you as that Xiao Jiang from the team back then. It’s just that I’m angry that something like this has happened to Yuan’er, and if anything happens to him, then I’ll really blame myself for the rest of my life too. The punishment plan has been pronounced and cannot be changed.”
With that, the old man stood up and looked as if he was about to leave.
Jiang Chunnan was in a great hurry, “Captain!”
Subconsciously, he was about to rush over and plead once more.
But just as he took a step, the man next to the old man, whose gaze had been indifferent, suddenly gathered focus on Jiang Chunnan’s face, Jiang Chunnan took this step, and his foot had barely fallen when the indifferent man’s hand gave a flick.
Drink!
A strong wind came suddenly, Jiang Chunnan was directly knocked up and fell far to the ground.
“There is no need for Mr. Mo to do so, Little Jiang would never have any ill will towards me.”
The old man finished and looked at Jiang Chunnan again, “Little Jiang, my mind is made up, if anything happens to you in Hangzhou in the future, anything at all, don’t worry, the family will still stand up for you.”
Jiang Chunnan dishevelled and rose from the ground, kneeling again in the direction the old man had left, looking bewildered and grief-stricken.
Yes, he would rather break a hand and still want to still work for the Lu family.
But, it was no longer possible.
That kind of grief, those who have not experienced it, cannot understand.
Bang!
At this very moment, the door suddenly opened.
The person who came in seemed to be in a hurry, and the door was almost slammed open.
“Grandpa!”
The person who came in shouted.
Originally, the old man was already about to walk away from the back, when he heard the shout, he couldn’t help but shake his shoulders, “Yuan’er.”
The person who came in was none other than Lu Yuan.
He was in a submarine and had rushed here from the Peach Blossom Healing Island in an expedited manner. When he saw that his grandfather was still there and Jiang Chunnan had not left, Lu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Grandpa, please don’t reprimand Chief Jiang!”
This was what Lu Yuan had come for.
Inside the satellite phone Lu Qian brought, the news Lu Yuan got was that Jiang Chunnan would be chastised and kicked out of the Lu family because of Lu Yuan’s matter.
So Lu Yuan rushed to this place in a great hurry.
“Why?”
This old man was none other than the great head of the Lu family, Lu Yuan’s grandfather, Lu Bei Ke.
“Because this matter really just doesn’t have anything to do with Director Jiang!” Lu Yuan said, “The Jiangnan Institute has such a large jurisdiction, the south of Jiangsu and the whole of Zhejiang and all of Shanghai, including a part of Jiangxi and a part of Anhui, how can he take care of everyone in such a large area? There are more than 100,000 police officers in the whole Jiangnan area, not to mention one Jiangnan Institute, and things still happen?”
“Besides, when something happened, I didn’t call Chief Jiang, I didn’t inform him at all. If I called for help and he didn’t come or even came late causing me to have an accident, I wouldn’t say anything if you chastised him, Grandpa. But now that Chief Jiang is completely unaware, you should not punish him!”
Lu was so anxious that his face was red at this point.
“Oh?”
Lu Beique smiled instead and looked at his grandson, “Aren’t you angry that something like this happened to you? Don’t you think that Jiangnan Institute failed in its duty to protect you? Now that Jiang Chunnan has been reprimanded, don’t you feel that you’ve taken a breath of relief?”
“No!” Lu Yuan almost blurted out, “I’m not angry at all after what happened, because this is society, and society is always crueler than one can imagine, and I don’t feel that Jiangnan Institute didn’t do its duty to protect me, because, I think, no one is obliged to protect me! All I have to do is to make myself strong!”
“If you had chastised Director Jiang today, instead of feeling out of anger, I would have felt like a disgrace to myself! Where would I be happy to have an innocent person implicated because of myself, I would not be able to sleep peacefully from now on!”
I’ll never be able to sleep peacefully again!” Lu Yuan poured out all his words in one breath, almost in agitation.
Instead of getting angry, Lu Bei Ke laughed.
“Good, very good, worthy of being my grandson.”
Saying that, Lu Bei Ke turned his head to look at Jiang Chun Nan who was still kneeling on the ground all the time behind him, “Little Jiang ah, just now the third young master’s words, you also heard it, this kid, giving you a plea, in that case, then the chastis*ment will be withdrawn, you continue to be your Jiangnan Institute chief and work for the family.”
“Many thanks to the captain!” “Many thanks to the Third Young Master!”
Jiang Chunnan, in an instant, tears of gratitude filled his eyes, hardly knowing what to say, only kneeling on the ground, his heart overflowing with joy.
“Oh, don’t thank me, thank Lu Yuan.”
Said Lu Bei Ke, looking at Lu Yuan, “Yuan’er, do you really still want to be at Jin Ling University, if you want, I will arrange for you to go to any university you want in the world, just like I arranged for Tian Chi.”
“No, grandpa, I like Jinling University because I got into it on my own, I like to live the life I created, not someone else’s arrangement.”
Lu Yuan said.
Lu Beike smiled and said nothing, stroking Lu Yuan’s head and leading Mr Mo out of the hall.
“Third Young Master, thank you!”
Jiang Chunnan came to Lu Yuan and was about to bow down again.
Lu Yuan hurriedly helped him up, “Chief Jiang, it was me who almost got you into trouble, it’s good that you don’t blame me.”
“No, I will always remember the kindness of Third Young Master today, I, Jiang Chunnan!”
Jiang Chunnan paid his respects again and again, despite Lu Yuan’s obstruction, before leaving.
As he left, Jiang Chunnan’s heart already had an indefinable loyalty to Lu Yuan.
Yes, the third young master was tough, but he was so modest, he was definitely someone who would achieve great things, and it was a great fortune to follow such a master.
Besides, Lu Bei Ke and Mr Mo left the hall.
“Oh, the call to Lu Qian, did you make that call?” Lu Beique said.
“It was also done in compliance with your wishes.” Although Mr. Mo usually kept his eyes indifferent, as long as he spoke to Lu Beique, his attitude, was extremely respectful.
“Haha.” Lu Beique laughed, “This kid, Yuan’er, actually rushed to stop me, tsk, not bad, not bad, I didn’t misjudge anyone.”
Speaking of this, Lu Beique seemed quite proud and a little relieved.
“By the way, Mr Mo, what do you think of this grandson of mine?” Lu Beique said.
“Well, judging from the third young master’s act of rushing here in a flash, acting decisively, he argued with you according to reason, which shows that the numbers are clear, and judging from his attitude towards Jiang Chunnan, the third young master is modest, generous in nature, not arrogant, and honestly, among many young masters, he is quite unique.” Mr. Mo said, and added, “And you, Grand Master, are secretly helping, so it’s difficult for the Third Young Master not to achieve great things in the future.”
“Oh, how am I helping Yuan’er secretly?” Lu Beique said.
“You deliberately wanted to punish Chief Jiang, so that he would be disillusioned, and wait until the Third Young Master came to argue with you on the basis of reason.
“Hey, that is also his own ability, if he did not rush here, to say that he does not obey me, this can not be achieved.” Lu Bei Ke said with a smile.
Besides, Lu Yuan returned to the healing island, after recuperating for more than half a month, the injuries on himself and Zhou Yun had long since healed.
“Uncle Qian, I need to trouble you to prepare the helicopter again tomorrow, Zhou Yun and I are going back to school.” Lu Yuan said.
