On the journey home from the train station, Lu Haikong seemed unable to recover from the "surprise" of his son's sudden success.
Sitting in the car, he barely spoke the whole way, his head turned towards the outside, deep in thought.
He seemed to be murmuring something to himself.
But his voice was so soft that Lu Wu couldn't hear it; however, Little Skeleton, who was seated next to him, had better hearing and caught snippets of it.
Phrases like "I've not wronged anyone in Jiangnan, right?" "There shouldn't be a problem, it shouldn't be discovered," and "If it really comes to it, I'll just cut ties with that ungrateful son, take my wife and Ni Ni, and run away" echoed faintly.
Little Skeleton listened for a bit but didn't understand, so he just continued to lower his head and play with his phone.
But it was Little Skeleton playing with his phone that caught the attention of Lu Haikong next to him.
