WEDDING NIGHT: I BECAME THE FEMALE SUPPORTING CHARACTER AND MARRIED THE VILLAIN!

Chapter 264: Clue

Lu Wen was impeded by Secretary Li’.s presence. “Please take caution, Mr. Lu Wen.”

The position of secretary to Lu Zhao required more than just solid organizational skills.

Still very agitated, Lu Wen made frantic efforts to advance. “Why do you have your wits about you?! Lu Zhao, answer me! You found her, didn’t you? You found the daughter of the poison master, didn’t you? Save Nancy, save her, I can give you anything!

I can give up my inheritance!”

He definitely had it! Lu Wen was almost certain in his heart that Lu Zhao’s confidence came from the fact that he had found the antidote.

Coldly, as if he didn’t recognize him, Lu Zhao stared at Lu Wen.

He had no doubt that Old Master Lu had been the one to make them take opposing positions. At one point, Lu Zhao recalled his past with Lu Wen and desired to work with him to locate the cure. But Lu Wen had turned him down. He had decided to take the road less traveled and end things.

Since his younger brother, with whom they had shared their worries in the same room, had vanished, he could not be held responsible for his ruthlessness. A peace had settled over Lu Zhao.

“Lu Zhao! Brother, save Nancy! I can give you anything!” Lu Wen shouted.

“Back then, I gave you a chance.” Lu Zhao demanded icily, “What else can you give me? I already have everything.”

Lu Wen’s body stiffened, and he instantly fell silent. Yes, he had completely lost.

Due to a severed capital chain, bankruptcy was imminent. Because Golden Willow Capital was the subject of a probe, they could not assist him. Soon after that would come the anti-dumping probe.

As long as Lu Zhao had his heart set on it, the Lu family business would be his. He had lost all leverage in negotiations with Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao stood up and said,” Send the guest out.”

When Secretary Li heard this, he immediately called the security guards to help Lu Wen up.

“There’s more. There’s one more thing,” Lu Wen suddenly muttered.

Lu Zhao stopped looking at him altogether and simply waved his hand in response.

“There’s one more thing! “Don’t you want to know where your mother is, Lu Zhao?” Lu Wen’s eyes shone with hope once more.

“You’re the one who refused to trade with me.” Lu Zhao frowned reflexively,

but he quickly waved him off.

Still, Lu Wen picked up on the subtle shift in Lu Zhao’s demeanor. He took another step forward, and this time Secretary Li didn’t intervene.

“This time it’s different.” Lu Wen approached Lu Zhao with and met his gaze as he said in a low voice, “I’m the one begging you. She’s in Southern City, and I have photos.”

Lu Zhao’s heart started pounding wildly.

According to the clues he got, that was indeed where his mother was last seen, but her trail ran cold half a year ago.

“If you tell me how you obtained the antidote, I’ll give you the photo.” Lu Wen regained his viper-like gaze.

Lu Zhao did not give him a chance. His expression remained unchanged.

“That’s no good. I know just as much.”

Lu Wen’s heart ran cold, and he was a little bewildered.

Lu Zhao seemed completely unconcerned. Was it possible that he already located her?

“No, that’s not right.” Lu Wen saw through Lu Zhao’s poker face. He quickly thought it through. “You managed to triangulate your mother’s location, but you don’t know where she is exactly! Otherwise, you would have already gone for Old Master Lu, not me!”

“You got that right.” Lu Zhao forced a cold smile. “But do you think I wont find her? 1 1 m getting there. It’s just a matter of time.”

Lu Wen gritted his teeth and thought about it for a while. Lu Zhao was right.

“They could easily move her. I’ll give you the photo. It shows the location clearly. You’ll be one day closer to meeting her, right? Big Brother.” Lu Wen clenched his fists and insisted on negotiating. “I don’t need you to give me the antidote directly. I just want you to let go of the project. How about that?”

The biological research project funded by Golden Willow Capital was revolutionary. Already, it represented his best chance at success. He had to seize it.

Lu Zhao’s eyes had a slight sallowness to them. He had to admit that he and Lu Wen were masters at exposing each other’s vulnerabilities.

He would benefit greatly from a photograph that Lu Wen could provide.

“Fine.” Lu Zhao agreed..
