Chapter 54 - Cunning Eldest Brother
Chapter 54: Cunning Eldest Brother
If looks could materialize, Yu Yao felt that Yu Heng and Yu Jue would have already been killed countless times by the knives they were throwing at each other with their eyes.
She looked back and forth between Yu Heng and Yu Jue with a puzzled expression, trying to figure out why the two people who had got along just a moment ago had started to act hostile towards each other.
Furthermore, Yu Yao did not understand why the two of them had to drag her into their quarrels. It was really baffling.
Yu Heng and Yu Jue had already exchanged countless blows with their eyes. Just as they were about to pull Yu Yao into the fray to act as a referee for them, the door opened again.
The person who walked in was in a fitted suit and looked like an elite. It was Yu Lang.
Yu Lang hung up his coat and walked over to the dining table to see Yu Heng and Yu Jue glaring at each other.
“What’s going on? Yu Heng, Yu Jue, I remember that after you guys went to middle school, you guys stopped carrying out such childish staring contests?”
“Eldest Brother, so you’re the most cunning one! You actually dare to say that I’m childish in front of Yaoyao!” Yu Jue’s attention was immediately diverted by Yu Lang, and he looked at their eldest brother reproachfully.
After Yu Jue looked away, Yu Heng hurriedly blinked a few times. He thought that no one would notice his actions, but when he turned his head, he saw that Yu Yao was looking at him with a pair of smiling eyes.
Yu Heng froze instantly. Oh no, Yaoyao had actually noticed me. Did she think I was as childish as Yu Jue?
No matter what was going on in Yu Heng’s head, his expression remained calm and reserved.
“Brother, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Let me cook you a steak?”
Yu Lang waved his hand. “No need. I already ate at the office. The production team said that Yaoyao is with you. I have something to discuss with her.”
Yu Yao started eating faster. Yu Lang quickly said considerately, “Yaoyao, take your time. I don’t mind waiting for you.”
“It’s okay. I’m already full.”
Yu Yao stuffed the last piece of steak into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster eating.
She wiped her mouth and stood beside Yu Lang. “I’m done eating. Let’s go.”
Yu Jue hurriedly said, “Eldest Brother, Yaoyao, if you have something to say, you can say it here. What can’t Second Brother and I know?”
Yu Lang looked at Yu Yao and asked for her opinion with his eyes. Yu Yao refused mercilessly. “If you want to know, you can ask Eldest Brother later. Now, you two can continue to glare at each other.”
Oh no, Yao Yao really thinks of me as a childish person like Yu Jue! Yu Heng couldn’t help but wail in his heart as his entire body stiffened.
Yu Jue looked at Yu Yao’s back pitifully, as if expecting her to turn around to look at him, but the response he got was the cold sound of the door slamming shut.
“Hmph, Eldest Brother is indeed the most cunning one. He actually took Yaoyao away!” Yu Jue pouted indignantly. “Eldest Brother works overtime in the office every day and has no time to interact with Yaoyao. Why does she trust him more? She discusses everything with him.”
Yu Heng was also a little depressed and indignant, but he did not complain directly.
“It’s probably because Eldest Brother is the most stable and reliable person. Furthermore, Eldest Brother is in charge of the family’s business. What Yaoyao wants to do requires Eldest Brother’s help.”
Yu Jue had to admit that Yu Heng was right. He heaved a long sigh and asked his second brother with a worried expression, “How could Yaoyao be so brave? She actually dared to declare war on those evil organizations hiding behind the internet. Could it be that she had already discussed this with Eldest Brother before the press conference?”
Yu Heng shook his head. “On the day of the press conference, I was with Eldest Brother. He was very shocked too. He probably didn’t receive any advance notice from Yaoyao.”
“At that time, Yaoyao wasn’t sure if she could obtain the support of the family, right? What do you think she was thinking? Wasn’t she afraid that she would end up facing the entire Dark Net alone?”
“Hasn’t Yaoyao always been like this? Even if she knows that she can’t do it, she will work towards it as long as she thinks it’s the right thing to do. No matter what lies ahead, she won’t hesitate or leave room for regrets.”
In Yu Lang’s apartment upstairs, he was also asking Yu Yao if she regretted her decision.
“Yaoyao, if you still insist on standing your ground, you might encounter many dangers in the future.”
He placed a folder in front of Yu Yao. “I’m not sure how dark and how big the underground network is. Up until now, I’ve only been able to find some traces of that criminal network based on the cases of families dying for no reason over the years.”
Yu Yao flipped through the photos of the gruesome deaths in the folder.
