733: Last Day

Last Day

A few weeks back when Lu Jin showed his cards....

In the chairman's office of IHZHI, there was an overwhelming silence occupying the whole room.

Lu Jin observed the couple's faces who were still dazed and shocked after seeing the content of the flash drive that he gave to them.

The man's eyes were unreadable. It was impossible to know what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Xiong Zhi looked up at the silent man while Linfeng stored the flash drive preciously.

Xiong Zhi: "You understand what it means by giving us this, don't you? Validating the content will be easier since you pointed for us where to look at. If all the content is true, then… you will become a traitor lurking in your father's turf." Xiong Zhi's eyes deepened as she looked at Lu Jin. "Are you telling me that you are willing to become our spy?"

The man had said earlier that he would continue giving them aid.

Did it mean that he would continue to provide them important information against Ming Zhi Yi, his own father?

Lu Jin was silent. His eyes lowered. He then reached out into his pocket and put something on the table. 

It was another flash drive.

Instead of answering them directly, he gave another piece of crucial information.

Lu Jin: "This second flash drive contains all of Ming Zhi Yi's spies on his enemies' bases. I had not completed the list before Gunan's death, but afterwards, I finally managed to identify the spies that my father hid even from me."

Unfortunately, it was too late. 

His dearest friend died.... and he was not even able to help him.

What was the purpose of having all of these if he had lost the chance to use them?

Lu Jin's eyes turned to the couple in front of him.

But these two could...

Lu Jin had the weapons in his hand, but the problem was, he did not have the courage to do it to his father himself.

So he could only provide critical information from the sidelines and wait for everything to unfold, until everything ended.

"You should have heard of the saying, my enemy's enemy is my friend. What if an enemy of Ming Zhi Yi learns that his own base has actually become Ming Zhi Yi's playground?"

Xiong Zhi's eyes flashed. Lu Jin was suggesting something interesting.

"Hell will break loose then."

"That's right. I hope Young Miss Xiong Zhi will know what to do then."

Xiong Zhi was silent. 

If the second flash drive had credible content as Lu Jin said, then, it was crucial information that would contribute a lot to winning the battle. Every piece of information was major.

It was true that the one who could bring down a big person the most was the people by his side.

Linfeng checked the second flash drive. His eyes deepened. 

"Hoh. Now I know why Ming Zhi Yi seems unfathomable. His spies are all high-ranking. They hid truly deep."

Xiong Zhi stared at the screen. Her fingers shook.

With this, bringing Ming Zhi Yi down would not be impossible. And it was all thanks to this man.

Xiong Zhi turned to Lu Jin. She could not really comprehend what he was thinking. 

Did he really want to destroy his father? What was really his aim?

"You did not answer my question. Why are you betraying your own father? If you can betray your father, I am afraid that we cannot trust you enough even if you give us all these things."

An indecipherable emotion flashed past in Lu Jin's eyes. 

The two sides fell into a momentary deadlock.

Finally, Lu Jin spoke.

"I want to put a stop to it. If in the end, my father has to go to hell, I will follow him, and stay with him."

Silence.

Xiong Zhi suddenly found it ridiculous. She let out a harsh laugh.

"After all this time, you want to make him stop?"

Lu Jin did not answer.

Xiong Zhi's sarcastic smile faded. "How are you sure that by using us, you can stop him?" 

Lu Jin gazed at Xiong Zhi. "All my life, I have been manipulated. Although I am not entirely blameless for it, but everything I did, it was not on my own volition. If I want to do something of my own will, it fails. I tried many times, but I always failed. Honestly, I almost lost hope and accepted my fate."

Until I saw you two. 

"But you two are different. You are just mere flies but you turned into newborn dragons. Even though young, there is the potential to soar through the sky. You even have the courage to topple a mountain."

Xiong Zhi was distracted for a bit. 

Did this guy just say that they were like flies?

Lu Jin continued. "And this newborn dragon's existence is still hidden. The two of you have the element of surprise, which is an advantage. If you are given the proper armor and right direction of where to attack, there is no doubt that you can win."

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng were stunned. They looked at each other.

Linfeng's doubts lessened a lot. He had been suspecting Lu Jin's aim since the start. Lu Jin clearly knows their existence and their hindering actions in Ming Zhi Yi's plan, yet he did not alarm his father about their whereabouts.

Xiong Zhi: It turned out… Lu Jin approached them precisely because of this reason.

So he really wanted to bring Ming Zhi Yi down?

This was truly shocking.

Unbelievable.

Lu Jin could see the disbelief on their faces. He knew that it was hard for them to believe in him. After all, he stood at the enemy's side, who happened to be his blood-related father. No one would know whether he would have a change of heart. These weapons he gave to them was a double-edged sword. He could turn it anytime against them instead.

However, Lu Jin had said and given everything he could give.

All was up for them to decide.

Lu Jin stood up to leave.

"Believe it or not, I have already shown to you my greatest sincerity. I hope that you can consider it well."

....

Fireworks rose up high in the sky.1

The last day of IAmFashionista's event was crowded. Although some important figures like the heads of the legendary families did not attend, there were still a few VVIPs who stayed. It was no longer strictly for members, invited personages were also allowed entrance.

If the first and second day were for the high society circles, the last day of the event was to show the world the dazzling side of IAmFashionista. On this day, the organization invited trusted journalists from selected magazines and media companies to take pictures and cover the event. This was to strengthen the organization's influence and popularity in public.

Stunning entertainment stars, film emperors, and international models walked on the red carpet leading to the entrance of the event. They were followed by the endless flashes of cameras.

It was a star-studded event.

This day which started glamorously would end in a devastating way.
