Xiang Dong, remember, after you return to Huaxia this time, you must not reveal your identity to any of your old friends. Even if they don't say anything, it still poses a risk, do you understand?
Qu Youyi looked at me as she spoke.
I fell silent. Indeed, if I returned to Huaxia as Lu Yan, it would be inappropriate for me to maintain contact with any friends. The reason was simple: all my friends as Xiang Dong would recognize me. Once I returned to Huaxia, I would naturally be involved with Qing Gang. What could I possibly say to Zheng Yu or Liu Sen from Tian Ye Group? Coming back as a fake would only raise suspicions and lead everyone to question my identity. Keeping everyone in the dark about who I really was would be the best protection for me.
Moreover, if I were discovered, all my friends would be dragged down with me. It was sheer luck that Zheng Yu and the others weren't caught up in this mess with me; if it happened again, they wouldn't escape.
Currently, the leader of Qing Gang was Lu Ding Tian, and the Qu Family had lost its influence. Once you arrive at Qing Gang, no one will offer you help; you'll have to rely on yourself step by step. It will be difficult, but I believe in you. Your elder sister believes that you can do it too.
Qu Youyi encouraged me.
I smiled faintly and waved my hand dismissively, trying to shake off the weight of learning about Qu Youyang's death.
There's no need to tell me useless things; this is your trap—a trap I have no choice but to enter. Since you want me to inherit the Qu Family, then as long as I take down Qing Gang, it will belong to me. I will be the boss of Qing Gang!
I said to Qu Youyi.
I haven't forgotten my original intention: to destroy Qing Gang, even if it once belonged to me. But now it has been taken away by others; I must reclaim it! Then I will destroy it and restore peace to this world, giving myself peace and justice for Linna!
Of course, you are the only man in the Qu Family; you are the head of the family, and what you say is law.
Qu Youyi said with a smile. I chuckled lightly in response but said nothing. Law? What kind of law? Is it really under your control?
In the end, I was still being manipulated by them, but this manipulation was something I had no choice but to accept; I had no options left.
In the following days, I underwent training aimed at making me more like Lu Yan. Lu Yan grew up in Ghana and fortunately lived in a Chinese community where he primarily spoke Chinese and had little understanding of English.
I focused most on improving my English skills—not needing to reach a high level, just enough to get by. The rest wasn't too critical because, as Qu Youyi mentioned, Lu Ding Tian had never met Lu Yan in person.
A month later, I prepared to set off alone dressed in trendy hip-hop attire—this was Lu Yan's style. All my identification documents were under Lu Yan's name; achieving this with Qu Youyang's resources wasn't difficult at all.
The leverage I had when meeting Lu Ding Tian consisted of a watch and a photo album—the watch belonged to Lu Ding Tian from years ago, while the album contained various pictures of Lu Yan's mother, Chen Lijun, along with some of Lu Yan himself.
There was a photo for every year of Lu Yan's life in that album—each one featuring him with Chen Lijun. With my face resembling Lu Yan's closely enough, this was sufficient proof that I was indeed Chen Lijun's son and thus Lu Ding Tian's son!
Upon returning to Huaxia, the first thing I did was sneak into Heilongjiang. This time I went missing for over three months without knowing how my foster parents were doing.
I stayed nearby for two days and learned that Qu Youyang had visited them and informed them that I was in trouble and might not return for a long time.
The elderly couple was heartbroken and gloomy every day, but there was nothing I could do about revealing myself to them.
My actions this time could either succeed or fail; if they failed, it would mean my true death. Letting them think I'm hiding out somewhere due to some trouble is better than revealing myself now. If this mission fails, then I'd truly be unfilial; I've chosen to become what my foster father hoped for without disappointing him.
If I succeed, everything will come to an end naturally; I'll reveal myself when it's over.
But before heading to Shanghai, I spent twenty million on an antique jade piece. As the heir of the Qu Family, I received quite a bit of money from Qu Youyi.
One night, I quietly slipped into my foster parents' home and secretly placed the antique jade beneath their cabinet.
If I couldn't ensure that the two elderly people could live out their years peacefully, at least I wanted them to be free from worries about food and shelter.
Having completed all of this, I arrived alone in Shanghai. This was the place where I would begin my struggles anew, and I walked into the Wanqing Group with my head held high.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" A security guard stopped me.
I shot him a disdainful glance. Who did he think he was? I was Lu Yan, the third son of Lu Ding Tian, the third prince of the Qing Gang! I had to be arrogant!
"I'm looking for Lu Ding Tian!" I declared, giving the guard a dismissive look, raising my chin in a haughty manner. Although I had never been a prince, I had seen enough to know how they acted. A little arrogance and flair were essential.
"What the hell did you just say? Do you even know whose name you're calling out? Do you want to die?" The security guard was instantly furious.
Honestly, people like him just lacked common sense. Did he really think I would come here looking for Lu Ding Tian without knowing who he was?
Did he think he could speak to me like that just because he was a mere security guard? What an absolute fool!
But there was nothing I could do; fools existed in every corner of the world, and encounters like this were all too common.
The commotion caused by the security guard quickly drew the attention of several onlookers. Seeing this, a smirk crept onto my face as my arrogance surged once more.
I suddenly grabbed the security guard by his collar and shouted with bravado, "I'm looking for Lu Ding Tian! Lu Ding Tian is my father! I'm Lu Yan! Do you have a problem with that?"
The room fell silent.
Everyone stared at me in shock; clearly, none of them knew who I was. But it was equally clear that no one doubted my identity.
The reason was simple: someone like Lu Ding Tian, a big shot in society, had many illegitimate children. It wasn't unusual for one or two to pop up now and then; it was hardly surprising.
The security guard looked bewildered at my arrogant demeanor; my identity was simply too outrageous for him to process all at once.
"Get someone to report this immediately!" I pushed him aside forcefully. The guard scrambled away to make the call, and before long, a secretary-like figure came to greet me.
"Who do you think you are?" The little secretary frowned at me.
"I'm Lu Yan, the illegitimate son of Lu Ding Tian. My mother has passed away, and I'm here to see my father," I replied calmly. The little secretary frowned again but said nothing further and led me to see Lu Ding Tian. Such matters needed his personal attention.
As we ascended the stairs, I couldn't help but feel disgusted; Wanqing Group was familiar territory for me, but it made my skin crawl knowing that Lu Ding Tian's current office used to belong to Qu Youyang.
I pushed the door open and stepped into the office, only to find that everything had changed. The beautiful woman who used to sit in the boss's chair was replaced by an old man nearing sixty, his hair a disheveled white.
"Are you my dad?" I asked innocently, though I hated the idea. There was no choice; to eliminate them, I had to let them take some advantage first. Looking at Lu Ding Tian's age, he could indeed be considered part of my elder generation, so I wasn't losing too much.
"Who is your mother?" Lu Ding Tian asked, studying me. I could see a flicker of joy in his eyes. As an old man, he naturally hoped for more descendants. But this scoundrel couldn't even recognize his own son and had to ask who my mother was.
"Chen Lijun," I replied, pulling out a photo album and a watch and handing them to Lu Ding Tian. Upon seeing the watch, he froze for a moment; it was clear he had figured out who I was.
He slowly opened the photo album, and as he looked at each picture, a smile spread across his face, radiating happiness.
"Where's your mother? Why didn't she come with you?" Lu Ding Tian asked with a smile after finishing the album. It was evident that this old scoundrel still held some affection for Chen Lijun.
"My mother passed away. Before she died, she told me to come to Huaxia to find you and see if you could take care of me. If not, she said I should leave," I said with a hint of sadness and nonchalance. From Lu Ding Tian's expression, I could tell he was pleased about having a son like Lu Yan around, so he wouldn't ignore me. This gave me the confidence to act boldly.
"What? Your mother is dead? What happened?" Lu Ding Tian immediately stood up, looking anxious. I sighed and shook my head in response, but inside, I felt nothing but contempt. If he truly cared about Chen Lijun, how could he have gone so many years without contacting her?
The relationship he was displaying now seemed merely for my benefit as his son.
"It was kidney disease," I said with a sorrowful tone. Hearing this, Lu Ding Tian sighed sadly as well. He walked slowly toward me and took my hand.
"Child, don't be sad. Now that you've come to your father, I will definitely take care of you!" Lu Ding Tian said dramatically as he looked at me. I appropriately showed my gratitude and then gave him a Western-style hug.
Hugging this scoundrel made me feel utterly disgusted inside. Yet this old fool seemed delighted and patted my back while saying "child."
