4: Chapter 4 The Tragic Young Master's Benefactor 3
Two days later in the afternoon, Lu Zhan walked out of the airport dragging a small black carry-on suitcase.
Before boarding, Lu Zhan had called his eldest brother, Lu Chen, and his second brother, Lu Yu, but it seemed the timing of his arrival wasn't quite right.
As it happened, his eldest brother couldn't get away due to military district affairs; this year was a critical moment for his promotion, so naturally, work came first.
Among the three brothers, the eldest was the one who followed the Old Man's Dao, and his temperament and character were just like his, upright and methodical, managing his own children with strict discipline.
The Old Man was an old revolutionary, and it was precisely because of him that Lu Chen's political career had always been smooth.
With the help of the network the Old Man left behind, reaching his current position at only just over fifty years old.
After the Old Man passed away, few of the former veteran generals remained; the Lin family's Old Man could be considered his eldest brother's direct superior.
As for his second brother, he already had his own business group and later took over Lu Zhan's financial Empire, making him so busy he couldn't get away. Thus, he could only dispatch his special assistant, Assistant Chen, to pick him up and take him back to the Lu family's ancestral home first.
The person picking him up, Assistant Chen, had been waiting for a long time and spotted Lu Zhan at a glance. Lu Zhan's face was truly striking even in a vast crowd, and combined with his overall temperament, passersby couldn't help but turn their heads for a second look.
At the same time, in an inconspicuous corner of the airport.
There stood a young man wearing a silver-gray suit and black leather shoes. He was tall with long legs and wore a mask that only revealed the upper half of his face. Most of his slightly long hair was swept back and styled, with only a few messy strands hanging over his forehead.
Although the mask obscured his full face, it was still evident that he had a good foundation and must be a handsome man. Unfortunately, his Aura was too sharp, and his eyes were deep with a hint of darkness, making people afraid to approach him.
When he saw Lu Zhan walking out, it seemed as if no one else existed in his eyes, and even the darkness receded significantly.
It had been several years, yet the Mister hadn't changed much—as attractive as ever, with handsome features and a superior physique.
Time seemed to have stopped for him, only adding a touch of maturity and self-restraint. His overall temperament remained cold and indifferent, mixed with the noble dignity and majesty of someone in a high position.
Lin Sicheng thought to himself; before he could even consider anything, his honest body had already impatiently stepped forward to meet him.
Meanwhile, just as Assistant Chen was about to step forward to pick him up, he saw someone who was not inferior to his own Third Master walk straight up to Lu Zhan.
Taking a closer look, the person seemed very familiar. Wasn't that so-and-so...?
In short, having heard many rumors about this man, despite having seen big scenes and possessing strong psychological resilience, Assistant Chen couldn't help but shudder. Why was this ruthless person here? His reaction slowed by a few beats.
Before Lu Zhan could even look for Assistant Chen, he saw a man striding toward him.
"Host, male lead Lin Sicheng detected, approaching you. blackening value is 95 with unstable fluctuations. If blackening reaches 100, the mission fails. Please play your role well; by whatever means necessary, eliminating the male lead's blackening value will result in mission success."
009's voice rang out in Lu Zhan's mind.
Now Lu Zhan understood everything; the person before him was Lin Sicheng.
Although he didn't know how Lin Sicheng knew he was arriving today, the person before him with a drastically changed temperament was actually that pitiful little brat from back then.
And despite the calm surface, the internal blackening value was so high. One had to say, he really had changed remarkably. Lu Zhan thought to himself.
"Xiao Cheng, is it you?"
Lu Zhan asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
Hearing the name 'Xiao Cheng' from Lu Zhan's mouth again, Lin Sicheng's heart was undoubtedly surging, but aside from his eyes deepening a bit, his face remained calm.
"Mister, it's me."
While replying, Lin Sicheng had already stood in front of Lu Zhan, taking the carry-on suitcase with his right hand and naturally taking Lu Zhan's hand with his left, as if the two of them were just as they were yesterday and nothing had ever happened.
Lu Zhan watched the young man complete the series of actions with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
This seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined. With such a high blackening value, just this? Or was this the calm before the storm, and the little brat had become very good at hiding things now?
"Mister, I've come to take you home."
Lin Sicheng's voice was very calm, but if one listened closely, there was a slight tremor. If the person before him was unwilling to go with him, he didn't even know what he might do.
Lu Zhan was a bit baffled by Lin Sicheng; for now, Lin Sicheng didn't seem to have any issues.
But since the System had determined a blackening value of 95, he thought he would observe him closely for a while to see what the situation was and where the problem lay before considering a solution.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan nodded and said, "Alright, let's go then, Xiao Cheng." He then followed the young man.
As for Assistant Chen, who was there to pick him up, by the time he snapped out of it, he helplessly watched his Third Master being taken away.
But it seemed that the Third Master had gone with the Young Master Lin of his own accord. Whatever, he should go back and tell President Lu that the Third Master had been picked up by the Young Master Lin.
