Chapter 427: Rick Getting Rucksacked

“Did Lu Jingye head over?” What Dongfang Hang was concerned about the most was this. “Were those people the ones he brought over?”

The other party said something and Dongfang Hong’s expression turned livid. He directly hung up the phone and grabbed his laptop. He intended to send the photos stored on his laptop to the person next to Patriarch Lu.

Dongfang Hong muttered to himself, “It doesn’t matter… even if that woman isn’t captured. Everything’s still alright as long as you don’t have time to take care of other matters.”

His task was to make Lu Jingye distracted, no matter the means.

However, when he opened the drive where he stored those photos, there was not a single photo of Zi Yi. Instead, there were hundreds of photos of him where he was playing outside

He would not pay any attention to these photos if he were to see them on the usual occasion. However, since they had suddenly appeared on his computer, it meant that someone had hacked their way inside.

Dongfang Hong’s heart clenched tightly and he hastily deleted all the photos.

By the time the drive was empty, and Dongfang Hong was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, his phone rang.

The phone call was from one of his followers.

The tone of his follower sounded anxious. “Brother Hong, something bad happened. The video of you playing in XX Club from the previous time was posted online, and… there are many other photos where we had fooled around in the past. The internet has exploded and the netizens are going crazy.”

The more his follower said, the darker Dongfang Hong’s expression became. He hung up the call and hastily made another call. “Hurry and think of a way to take down and delete all those pictures and videos on the internet.”

The other party said, “We are unable to delete them. Our headquarters have been attacked by a group of hackers.”

Dongfang Hong did not believe the other party. “The hackers dare to attack your place?”

“We are currently organizing our technicians to defend and pursue the attackers. However, these people are too skilled and we can hardly do anything to them.”

The other party then suggested with kind intentions. “You had better think of how to explain this to the Minister. The crackdown has been rather serious in recent days and you might have to make a visit behind bars.”

Dongfang Hong’s expression was even darker and he said, “I understand.”

Just as he was about to hang up the call, the sound of footsteps quickly approached from outside the door and it was followed by the housekeeper’s voice. “Third Young Master, the Third Elder asks you to make a trip to his study room. You better be quick, he seems to be rather angry.”

Dongfang Hong’s hands trembled and he hastily left for the study room.

The moment the Third Elder saw Dongfang Hong, his expression was still considered calm. However, the tone of his voice was extremely stern. “What’s going on with the information online?”

“It’s…” Dongfang Hong explained the things that happened today.

The Third Elder’s expression sank. “You can’t even take care of such a small thing and you have even gotten yourself dragged into the muddy waters?”

Dongfang Hong quickly explained. “Father, I didn’t expect this to happen. Lu Jingye must have been the one behind this.”

“You didn’t expect it?”

BAM!

The Third Elder suddenly slammed his hand against the table and Dongfang Hong dared not utter a single word.

He then suddenly asked him, “Do you know who has returned to the capital today?”

Dongfang Hong was alarmed. He recalled Lu Jingye’s ruthlessness and widened his eyes. “Could it be that Lu Jingye got Lu Yunxiao to send people over to deal with my men?”

Only Lu Yunxiao’s men were capable of doing this and remaining undetected.

“Hmph!” the Third Elder said in fury. You had better take care of this incident tonight. Otherwise, the only option for you is to stay behind bars.”

Dongfang Hong was afraid. “Father, you must help me erase the pictures and videos online. I can’t go behind bars, I’ll be finished if I go.”

The Third Elder had a livid expression. “Only now did you come to realize the consequences? Why didn’t you think of the consequences when you did all those things previously? I’ve said it before, if you want to deal with the Lu Family, don’t leave behind any traces. Now because you have done all these things outside, do you know how passive our stance is in this situation now?”

Dongfang Hong lowered his head and dared not utter a single word.

The Third Elder looked at his son and felt mentally and physically exhausted. However, he could not really let his son sit behind bars and he had to think of a way to stop Lu Jingye from pursuing this matter.

…

On the other side, Rick was waiting for news from Dongfang Hong. Just then, he received a message on his phone.

[Mr. Rick, I’ve obtained the video you want. Please come to the back door to retrieve it.]

A trace of a satisfied smile flashed past his eyes.

As long as he obtained the video of Zi Yi’s indecency, Patrarich Lu would never allow her to enter the Lu Family. In that case, his sister would not have to lower herself and become a dance teacher in M.Uni.

The more he thought of this, the more excited he became. Rick put away his phone and hastily made his way to the back door.

The Lu Family main residence was very large. It was already 11 p.m at night and most of the Lu Family had gone to bed.

Rick would only encounter one or two patrolling guards when he was making his way around the residence at this time.

The guards would ask, “Mr. Rick, it’s late right now, where are you heading off to?”

Rick alway said the same thing in a natural manner, “My sister feels like eating the pastries from Yuan Fang Zhai and I had the staff order a food delivery from there, and asked them to deliver it to the back door. I’m heading over to fetch the food.”

The guards hastily said, “Mr. Rick, why don’t you go back and wait while we go out and fetch the food for you?”

“No need for that. I just want to take a stroll along the way. I’ve been rather busy with work these days and I rarely have time to exercise.”

The guards did not say anything after that.

When Rick arrived at the back door, he got the guard to open the door as he made his way out.

In order to prevent other people from knowing what he was doing, he even deliberately walked for some distance until the guards were unable to see where he went. Only then did he stop and call the other party.

“Mr. Rick, head a little further ahead. I’m inside the forest.”

There was an ornamental forest straight ahead.

Rick did not have the slightest trace of doubt and he continued walking ahead.

When he arrived at the forest, he said, “I’ve reached.”

He then saw a man wearing ordinary sunglasses and holding onto a paper bag in his hand, heading in his direction.

The man in sunglasses came over to him and called out, “Mr. Rick.”

“That’s me.” Rick stretched out his hand. “Give it to me quickly.”

The man in sunglasses handed him the paper bag in his hand. However, the moment Rick reached out for it, the man’s other hand moved, and a handful of powder was thrown towards Rick.

“Ouch…”

Rick immediately detected something amiss, but it was too late to block the powder when he wanted to use his hand to cover his eyes. He disregarded the pain in his eyes and ran.

Yet, at this moment, something suddenly covered him from above

It seemed like a rucksack.

The rucksack covered him from his head to his waist.

It did not give him the slightest room to struggle.

“Let me go! Who are you? OW-!”

Heavy punches came from all directions.

After howling loudly for a long time, what remained were muffled groans of pain.

…

When Zi Yi woke up the next day and checked her phone, only then did she discover what Lu Jingye had done last night.

She originally wanted to give him a call, but after some thought, she decided to send a message instead.

[Ah Jing, were you the one who got people to release Dongfang Hong’s videos?]

Lu Jingye: [Yes.]

Lu Jingye: [I’ll come to find you at night. I have something to do now.]

After Zi Yi saw his second message, she knew that he should be rather busy right now, so she left their conversation page and went online to add oil to the fire.

At 9 a.m in the morning, the authorities visited the Dongfang Family’s residence and took Dongfang Hong away.

Patriarch Dongfang was greatly infuriated by this..
