Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 783 Lu Jin: Lu Linglong, do you still want to be my sister-in-law?
"Huh? Great-Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, what are you saying?"

Lu Xuan only has one son, Lu Jin, who is the eldest in his branch. When did Lu Tong suddenly gain a great-grandfather? Moreover, despite Lu Tong's lower seniority, he is very powerful and holds a high position as the heir to the family head. He is considered to be among the top in the Lu family.

Who is qualified to "test" him, and even "test" him into this state?

Lu Linglong sensed something was amiss and decided to ask her two best friends, Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue.

"Hey, you're really good-looking! Want to add me on WeChat?"

As they were talking, a very pleasant voice suddenly came from behind them. Lu Linglong turned her head and her eyes were filled with stars.

"So handsome..."

Her face turned a little red.

"Oh dear, I'm still young. I'm only twenty-three, just graduated from university. Great-grandfather, fourth uncle, don't you think it's a bit too early for you to introduce me to potential partners? But it's okay, I can..."

"Get lost, call me Grandfather!" Lu Jin slapped Lu Linglong's head aside and said angrily.

"Ah, Great-Grandpa, I was calling out to you?" Lu Linglong looked completely bewildered.

Relationships spanning four generations or more are very difficult for modern people to trace.

"I'm talking about this guy, him, my senior brother." Lu Jin has grown so much over the years. Observing He Songling's behavior and words these past few days, coupled with the resurgence of memories in his mind, he knew what He Songling was up to and decided to nip his idea in the bud. "You want to be my sister-in-law, what?"

"Ah, your senior brother?" Lu Linglong stared wide-eyed at the handsome man before her. "Grandpa, are you kidding me?"

“I agree. The old man has recently become obsessed with role-playing. It’s alright, don’t worry about him.” He Songling smiled and extended his hand. “Hello, He Songling.”

"Hello, hello, my name is Lu Linglong." Ignoring Lu Jin's murderous glare, Lu Linglong reached out and shook hands with He Songling.

"Cough cough cough!" Lu Jin coughed up two lungs, but still couldn't stop the two "young people" from talking. Lu Linglong waved her phone and immediately scanned the QR code that He Songling showed, and said with a smile: "We'll talk later. Don't worry, my great-grandfather is an old antique who doesn't know how to use a phone. He won't be able to find our records."

"He Songling, I'll fight you to the death!" Lu Jin pounced on his senior brother, but in Lu Tong and Lu Linglong's eyes, Lu Jin suddenly sat up and started punching and kicking the air.

"Ah this..."

Although Lu Linglong was initially presented as a comedic, decorative character created by the author for comedic effect, her character was later altered. While she was a bit weak, she wasn't stupid. Regardless of the reason, her great-grandfather's strength was undeniable; the fact that he could suddenly punch and kick thin air meant he was no ordinary person.

Lu Linglong couldn't help but shrink back.

"What are you afraid of? Come here, let your great-grandfather give you a check-up..." He Songling revealed a lewd smile and stretched out his two hands to reach for Lu Linglong's body.

"Ah!" Lu Linglong exclaimed in surprise, and subconsciously raised her leg and kicked He Songling in the lower front part of his body.

The result, of course, was that she missed. To Lu Linglong's astonishment, He Songling's body turned into a cloud of mist, and her leg passed right through it without any hindrance.

"Defying...defying life!"

"Too incompetent. Lu Jin, how did you raise this child? The fourth-generation leader of the Lu family, is this all he's capable of?" At the same time, He Songling's voice came from above her head. When Lu Linglong looked up in a hurry, she saw a fist growing bigger and bigger in front of her.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

Lu Linglong covered her panda-like eyes and squatted down in pain.

“Hey, Grandpa, I don’t admit it!” Lu Tong stood up for his son, saying, “My son is the fourth-generation leader of the Lu family.”

"And then you're 31 and still haven't graduated with a doctorate? Mediocre." There are plenty of people who haven't graduated with a doctorate by the age of 31, but if you're of Nobel Prize caliber, raised by a group of Nobel laureates from a young age, and at 31 you still can't even write a decent doctoral dissertation, then you can indeed only be called mediocre.

"Ah, this..." Lu Tong was also silenced by He Songling's words.

At this moment, Lu Jin finally came to his senses, realizing that he had fallen into an illusion without knowing when. He shook his head and said, "I can't do it. You're my senior brother, so you do it. Don't go too far, okay? Don't let them mess with that grandson of a Lu Tong. Otherwise, you can just pat your butt and ascend to heaven, and my Lu family will become the target of everyone's criticism."

In the past, the stronger the aristocratic families and sects were, the better. If they had six or seven people with the same strength as the prospective family head, who would dare to make a move against them?

But things are different now. The "Outcasts" are all under unified management. No matter how many or how strong you have, you can't compare to a company supported by a single country. Their channels, connections, techniques, geniuses, and strong individuals are far beyond what any single family or household can match.

The key point is that Na Du Tong (a powerful military organization) is respectable. In terms of top-tier combat power, Na Du Tong is actually completely incompetent. But so what? Letting Na Du Tong govern you is giving you face. If you don't accept Na Du Tong's governance, that's fine too; then the military will come and negotiate with you.

Therefore, Lu Jin dared not let He Songling cause trouble. If it were truly a natural advancement, Lu Jin certainly wouldn't stop the young people from growing, even if these people didn't actually share the surname Lu. But if it was said to be a "gift from the gods," growing in a way that exceeded the norm, then it was hard to say.

Lu Jin is, after all, the most powerful and influential figure in the country right now. He knows some inside information. The turmoil caused by the concept of "Eight Extraordinary Skills" is getting stronger and stronger. It is said that the company's senior directors are already discussing the option of "banning the Eight Extraordinary Skills".

Even worse, some have even planned to "ban extraordinary skills," which is blatantly aimed at He Songling.

If He Songling were already dead, Trinity University would simply have to accept restructuring; compromise would be inevitable, but it would still retain some autonomy. This is unavoidable; reality isn't a wish-fulfillment novel where you can just keep killing your way through. No one can remain uncompromising forever.

But now, He Songling, who had been presumed dead or "ascended to heaven," has reappeared, which is going to be troublesome.

On one hand, Lu Jin was worried that the company would target the Lu family, and on the other hand, he was also worried that his senior brother would clash with the company.

Nadotong is nothing like the useless people under the bald government back then.

"Hey, don't worry, we're such good friends, why would I joke about your family?" He Songling chuckled and patted Lu Jin on the shoulder. "It's just some routine training, very simple."
