Chapter 852: The Funeral

Matriarch Lu was the most searched topic ever since the news of Matriarch Lu’s death was announced to the public. Her death was heavily discussed by almost everyone.

The various major media platforms pinned the trending topic to the top of the trending pages.

Everyone sent their condolences.

The day of the funeral.

There were a large number of media representatives outside with Lu Wu. The crowd was terrifying but they were ordered to stand at least 500 meters away.

Matriarch Lu led a legendary life. She had made many great contributions to the country and brought a lot of honor to the Lu family. Her funeral was set to match her larger than life influence.

Old Madam’s crystal coffin was in the center of the hall. She was wrapped in a shroud and she looked proper, with none of her majesty lost in death.

A lot of respectable people from the military, political, and business circles in City 49 came in batches to see Matriarch Lu. Royal families of various countries also sent people to express their condolences. The Lu residence was extremely crowded.

Lu Chengzhou and the Lu family’s immediate family members were in charge of the reception which kept them busy.

Lu Zhan looked at Ye Junci. “Gu Mang will probably be here today. Are you sure that she will not trigger any response when Chengzhou sees her?”

The secretary to the Chairman of Jijing Island had made an international call last night. Huo Zhi and Gu Mang were coming today.

Ye Junci wore a black cheongsam and she had a white flower on her chest. There was a tinge of anxiety in her exquisite eyes.

“In your agreement with Chengzhou, if something happens to him, half of his property will go to the Ye family and the medicine will be given to Gu Mang. Yet he went back on his words. We should think about how to deal with this matter.” Lu Zhan listened to the crowd in the front part of the estate. There was a worried look in his sharp and black eyes.

Would Ye Junci have pressed on if she hadn’t dropped hints to Gu Mang intentionally? Lu Zhan knew deep down but he chose not to expose her.

If his son remembered Gu Mang, no one knew what might happen.

At first Ye Junci had not thought of telling Gu Mang about her promise to Lu Chengzhou. But when Old Madam died and Gu Mang found out about the research project at the Blood Institute, she changed her mind. So, she took advantage of the situation and told Gu Mang about her agreement with Lu Chengzhou.

“If he really asks one day, just tell him that I told Gu Mang.” Ye Junci turned to Lu Zhan. “When felling trees, you don’t cut from the top. You have to cut near the roots. Do I have to explain what I mean?”

Gu Mang knew it too.

She had refused to return to Jijing Island because of her parents’ deaths. But if she wanted to completely break free from Jijing Island, she had to figure everything out. She had to know how to produce the medicine and understand its components.

The only thing that Ye Junci did not expect was Gu Mang using hypnosis to remove Lu Chengzhou’s memories.

She completely got Lu Chengzhou out of the way. Gu Mang’s actions had not been within Ye Junci’s expectations.

Lu Zhan lifted his wrist to look at the time. “The offering of condolences will begin soon. Let’s take things step by step. There’s no way Chengzhou will cause a ruckus at mom’s funeral.”

Ye Junci nodded.

…

At the same time, in the hall.

Qin Fang and He Yidu were also feeling frustrated.

“Is Gu Mang really coming?” Qin Fang asked with some uncertainty.

He Yidu glanced at Lu Chengzhou, who was mourning with the guests, and nodded. “She arrived at the capital last night but she never showed up.”

“Is she coming with Huo Zhi?” There was a complicated look on Qin Fang’s face. “If Gu Mang triggers a response in Brother Cheng and he recalls who she is, will he detain Huo Zhi in the capital?”

He Yidu raised his eyebrow. “That’s possible.”

Just then…

Qin Fang suddenly saw Huo Zhi’s figure from afar and he hit He Yidu’s arm excitedly. “Oh f*ck! Oh f*ck! They’re here! They’re here!”

Servants from the Gu family led the way. They led Huo Zhi and the others through the crowd.
