Chapter 846 The betrayal of Butler Lu (2)
"Put it away. He is no longer of use to the Prime Minister." Fang Chen stopped Li Hong and told him about Chen Zihao and Ling Wei. Li Hong was stunned after hearing it.
"Is the world so small? How could these two people get together?" Li Hong naturally knew Ling Wei. He also knew that she was pregnant before marriage and almost became his concubine.
He didn't expect that the father of the child in her belly would be Chen Zihao, which made him sigh that this world is really small.
"Fate is such a wonderful thing." Chen Zihao chuckled, "Third Prince, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met! The last time I saw you, you were still killing people and burying bodies for the prime minister!" Li Hong said with a smile.
"Let's get back to the topic." Fang Chen coughed lightly and said to Li Hong seriously. "The reason I asked you to come here so urgently this time is because Chen Zihao told me something about you."
"Mine? What's the matter?" Li Hong looked at Chen Zihao and asked.
"My father planted a pawn next to you more than ten years ago." Chen Zihao said seriously. "He is still by your side now, and occasionally reports your situation to my father. The latest news he sent is that you are secretly manufacturing weapons."
Li Hong's expression changed and he looked at Chen Zihao seriously. "Are you serious?"
"I'll handle it personally." Chen Zihao also frowned and put away his smile, looking seriously into Li Hong's eyes.
Li Hong fell silent when he saw his eyes. "The only person who has stayed with me for more than ten years... is Steward Lu."
"...His...last name is indeed Lu." Chen Zihao sighed lightly.
Li Hong fell into complete silence.
Fang Chen looked at the silent Li Hong and knew that he was very upset. Being betrayed by the relatives whom he had trusted for more than ten years was enough to shatter Li Hong's confidence.
Patting Li Hong on the shoulder, Fang Chen could only comfort him silently.
"I regard him as my relative...my only relative." Li Hong raised his head, his eyes were red and tears were flashing in them.
He couldn't accept such a blow. That was the only person he had ever trusted. He even regarded him as a relative and an elder.
Even when he and Si Jing got married, he used the etiquette of an elder.
"I know." Fang Chen understood his feelings. Butler Lu appeared by his side when he was still an unknown person who was ignored by everyone and bullied by everyone, and protected him as he grew up. This is how much Li Hong trusted him. It can even be said that he was the one who raised Li Hong.
But such a person is actually the prime minister's man.
Moreover, he had been the Prime Minister's man for more than ten years, which means that from the very beginning when he approached him, Steward Lu had a purpose.
He has been helped for so many years, and training him was also the Prime Minister's intention. How could Li Hong accept this?
No one can accept such betrayal.
"Anyone can do it, as long as it's not him..." Li Hong grabbed his hair in pain. "Anyone can do it... Why does it have to be him..."
Chen Zihao looked at the painful Li Hong with his mouth open, not knowing how to comfort him. He was even unable to speak.
"Li Hong, maybe the incident is not as bad as you think..." Fang Chen sighed, "Butler Lu only roughly mentioned that you were making weapons, but didn't go into details, maybe..."
Li Hong knew what Fang Chen meant. Perhaps Steward Lu was not indifferent to him either.
But betrayal is betrayal. Li Hong couldn't accept betrayal, and Steward Lu knew it! But he still betrayed him...
From the beginning, it was exploitation.
