Chapter 79

In two days, Shang Ke had familiarized himself with the environment of the mansion and made a couple rounds around the surroundings. He also compared it with an electronic map, recording all the routes, buildings, stores, and so on that are nearby. After making sure he didn't overlook anything, he finally stopped his exploration and return to the villa. By that point, he had started to use the internet to gather information on anything he could, including the Yue Family.

Yue Family was a great family passed on for three hundred years, they were regarded with importance by the Royal Family. Although they were not really nobility, they enjoyed the power and glory of a noble family. In the Empire, many cities had their brand name and trade, they once became the richest family. But around a hundred years ago, their family development declined, in both politics and economics, their power was not the same as before. However, a dying camel was still larger than a horse, so the Yue Family industry lasting until today was still rather widespread and influential.

It's just that compared to Lu Family, Yue Family's position was far inferior. Lu Family was hereditary nobility, Lu Xiufan's older brother Lu Xiuqi was the current Queen's husband, while he himself was conferred the title of Lord. His post was an inspection official, in charge of supervising the bigshot Chancellor's words, actions and manners.

Compared to his title as Lord, his identity as the inspection official instills more fear into people. Forty percent of the Empire's officials were both close and distant from him, fifty percent want to kill him, and the final ten percent were heroically unafraid of death and want to bed him.

Shang Ke searched for Lu Xiufan's photograph, but all he could find were far pictures of him, never a close up one that was recent. He could roughly make out that he was tall and imposing, the first one to be taken note of even in a crowd.

After checking the time, it was midnight already. Shang Ke decided to turn off the lights and head to bed.

In his half asleep half awake state, he heard bits and pieces of sound coming from outside the door. Shang Ke opened his eyes and carefully listened for a while, then he got up from the bed and put on his coat, leaving the room.

"Master, I have already notified the doctor, he will be here in roughly ten minutes." In the living room, the butler Fei Lin was currently respectfully speaking to a luxuriously dressed tall man.

On the sofa next to them, there were two young men wearing uniforms sitting there. One of them was covered in blood, his arm hastily bandaged. The other one was lying back against the sofa, his right foot apparently unable to move.

Fei Lin was just about to say something else when he caught a glimpse of Shang Ke leaving the corridor at the corner, he immediately called out to him, "Shang Ze, good timing. Come here and greet Master."

The man in front of Fei Lin turned around, his piercing gaze landed on Shang Ke.

Shang Ke looked at his handsome face as a familiar scent hit him.

It's him!

Shang Ke calmly faced him, nothing in his eyes showed his emotional state.

"Master, this is Shang Ze." Fei Lin went up to introduce him, "Shang Ze, this is..."

"Shang Ze?" Lu Xiufan's deep voice interrupted Fei Lin, he inspecting gaze ran across his body, and he immediately asked, "Can you handle external injuries?"

"Yes." Shang Ke answered in a single word, short and concise.

"Good, help deal with their injuries." Lu Xiufan stepped aside a step and pointed at the two on the sofa.
