Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ming followed Chen Ziqiu into the luxurious ward.
The first thing he saw was an old man with gray hair sitting on the bed. Only his eyes were bright and clear.
1
“Thank you for saving me, young man.”
He turned to look at Lu Ming and said gently.
He still remembered that he had originally planned to meet up with his driver, but he was knocked down when he was walking on the pedestrian crossing and almost lost his life. Fortunately, this young man got out of his car in time and brought him to emergency. Then he successfully sent him into the examination room despite opposition from others.
2
If not for this young man, he would probably be long gone.
As he thought about this, his attitude became friendlier. “Young man, my name is Tang Mingkun. What is your name?”
4
“My name is Lu Ming, Mr. Tang.”
Who wouldn’t like someone with a good attitude?
Lu Ming curled the corners of his lips and asked, “How do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“I’m fine now. I can even get off the bed and run a few rounds. Oh right, I heard that you waived my medical fees? How can I let you do that? You’re my lifesaver. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t give you something, right?”
Tang Mingkun asked.
“Not only did he save me, but he does not want my medical fees. Nowadays, it’s unusual to meet such kind people,” he thought.
Lu Ming shook his head and said, “I don’t lack money now. Besides, I saved you out of goodwill. I just don’t want an old person to die for no reason.”
The more Tang Mingkun looked at him, the more pleased he was.
In today’s society, there were people who were cold and ruthless. There were many instances of kindhearted people who helped the elderly but were, in turn, blackmailed by the elderly instead.
So many passers-by avoided the old man when he was lying on the ground as they were afraid that they would be implicated.
Tang Mingkun thought it was unusual to find such a warm-hearted and kind young man like Lu Ming.
“Come over and let me take a look at you,” he said.
Although Lu Ming did not know what the other party wanted to do, he knew he would not harm him. So he walked over.
Tang Mingkun looked at him for a while before raising his arm and rubbing his head.
“What a good boy.”

This action reminded Lu Ming of his mother. In the past, his mother would often stroke his head and praise him for being promising.
At this thought, his eyes reddened slightly.
Tang Mingkun seemed to have read his thoughts. “Good children deserve more rewards.”
He lowered his hand and looked toward the door, “Ah Er, come in.”
Right away, a burly man with an honest look walked in. He handed Lu Ming the luxurious gift in his hands. “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving my master. This is a greeting gift. Please accept it.”
Lu Ming was about to reject him when Tang Mingkun spoke first. “If you are unwilling to accept this, I will feel bad. Do take it.”
Lu Ming had no choice but to let Chen Ziqiu accept the gift on his behalf.
Tang Er scratched the back of his head and said in a rough voice, “Mr. Lu, you’re such a good person. If not for the fact that there wasn’t enough time, I would have gotten you a silk banner.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “But don’t worry, I’ll definitely arrange for someone to send you a silk banner in a few days.”
Lu Ming wanted to say that there was no need to. However, he did not want to put a damper on their good intentions. He could only nod. “Thank you…”
“I’m Tang Er, Old Master’s chauffeur and bodyguard. Mr. Lu, you can just call me Ah Er.”
Facing the master’s savior, Tang Er was very enthusiastic.
After all, in his opinion, saving Old Master’s life was equivalent to saving his own life. So he had to treat Lu Ming with special care. Furthermore, he had been remiss in letting Old Master get hit by a car.
“Thanks, Ah Er.”
Lu Ming said smoothly.
Tang Mingkun smiled and asked, “Lu Ming, is there anything you want to do but have yet to do?”
1
Lu Ming was startled.
“Is the other party trying to help me?” he wondered.
“Have I saved a big shot?”
“I want to destroy the Lu Corporation because Lu Yaohua abandoned his wife and son after he became rich. After that, he even had a child with Tang Wenyi. We did not have contact with each other for a few years, until their own child had diabetes. Because they wanted my kidney, they even resorted to playing dirty tricks on me.”
2
He summarized his experiences over the years in a few short sentences.
When Chen Ziqiu heard this, her eyes widened!
4
She realized why the new boss did not want the Lu family to transfer their son here—they had such a past!
She felt that if it were her, she would definitely send Lu Yaohua and the rest to hell for what they had done.
She clenched her fists.
She thought that the new boss was some mysterious rich second-generation heir.
From the looks of it, it must not have been easy for the new boss to land this position.
“How hard it must have been,” she thought.
4
When Tang Mingkun heard the name, Lu Yaohua, he felt that it sounded familiar. When he heard Tang Wenyi’s name, he remembered.
1
A few years ago, the rich missy ignored her family’s opposition and married a man who had just gotten a divorce. He had heard about this before. So the young man who saved him was actually Lu Yaohua’s first wife’s son?!
“And your mother?”
Lu Ming said calmly, “She passed away after a long illness.”
His gaze dropped. “Actually, she could have been cured, but we didn’t have any money back then.”
1
It could be said that Lu Yaohua was indirectly responsible for his mother’s death.
Tang Mingkun did not know what to say to comfort him. “They will pay the price. It’s just the Lu Corporation.”
It was clear from his words that he did not take Lu Yaohua seriously.
Although Lu Ming did not know him, he felt that this old man might really be able to destroy the Lu family easily. There was something about the confidence in his eyes. He smiled lightly and said, “I will do it personally. I will make them regret it.”
Tang Mingkun looked at him. He did not look like he was joking.
He said, “I wanted to help you at first, but it seems like there’s nothing I can help you with at the moment. The Lu family isn’t a small company. Have you really thought it through?”
“I know, but I will definitely trample them!”
3
Lu Ming wanted those people to live a miserable life!
Tang Mingkun nodded in satisfaction. Young people needed to have such courage.
He removed one of his cuffs and placed it in Lu Ming’s hands. “You saved my life. The Tang family owes you a favor. If ever you’re in need in the future, use this. It will help you solve your problem.”

“Okay.”
Lu Ming did not stay in This Place for too long. He roamed for a while before driving to his new company.
The Eye of the Sky Investigation Company.
5
The company mainly did consultations or provided industry information for well-established companies and did background checks.
It was like a commercial database.
There was basically nothing they could not find out. Of course, they could also help to find out about affairs and so on.
The moment Lu Ming walked in, the employees who had all received the notification bowed and greeted him.
“Hello, CEO Lu.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly. “Hello.”
He went straight to the front desk and said, “I need you all to help me investigate someone.”
