…
Luo Family Ancestral Land, within the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually began to take on a hint of suspense.
Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Yao, the next in line to be Family Patriarch, and the rest of the Brain Trust had all been pondering at this time, who exactly might be the one – the so-called ‘one person suffices’ mentioned by a member of the Brain Trust?
Could it be someone present here, or someone from outside?
Yet, no one present in the room was lost in contemplation due to that standing member of the Brain Trust.
That person had been recommended by one of the top ten families of Qingshi City, the Lu Family, to become a member of the Luo Family Advisers.
The person also bore the surname Lu.
His identity was that of a distant branch of the Lu Family.
However, due to his selection into the Luo Family Advisers in Qingshi City, that branch of the Lu Family he belonged to also rose to prominence overnight.

Logically speaking, as a member of the Brain Trust, his days should have been quite comfortable, dealing with political affairs daily, reviewing various suggestions from other Advisers, and from time to time, lightly sparring with his colleagues.
This life was indeed colorful.
However, at this moment…
The person from the Lu Family was not contemplating who could solve the problem put forth by Family Head Luo Ping.
Instead, he was feeling a little panicky and somewhat uneasy.
The unease in his heart was not without reason, mainly because…
He had dealt with a similar situation last time, which was why he was now feeling jittery.
The ‘one person’ mentioned by the member of the Brain Trust who had just stood up couldn’t possibly be referring to him, could it?
The individual of that Lu family branch was pondering silently, but soon, he shook his head to himself.
No, it couldn’t be.
Although not familiar with the standing member of the Brain Trust, he didn’t quite understand the character of his colleague either, but considering…
The person probably wouldn’t be so shameless.
The one spoken of by his colleague should be another, someone unknown to him.
It was highly unlikely to be himself.
Impossible, simply impossible.
The person of the Lu family branch smiled and shook his head.
But before he could completely relax, the member of the Brain Trust standing quietly in the corner of the room suddenly smiled and addressed Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family.
“Patriarch, the one I speak of is none other than Elder Lu from this room. He resolved similar issues before, and now that we are faced with such matters again, wouldn’t it be perfect to let Elder Lu deal with them, as it’s right up his alley?”
The Brain Trust member standing at the corner of the room said with a slight smile.
And with his words…
Almost everyone in the room couldn’t help but pause.
Elder Lu?
That seemed to make some sense!
After all, the person with the surname Lu had handled a similar issue quite well before, so if that same person dealt with it this time, wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?
They could push the issue aside and distract the Family Head from this problem for the time being.
How clever, exceedingly clever!
As for whether the person named Lu could complete this task, whether he would succeed or fail in the end, didn’t concern them.
After all, there was an old saying, “Everyone should sweep the snow from their own doorstep and not worry about the frost on someone else’s roof.”
Why worry about someone else’s matters when you can’t even manage your own affairs?
If, by chance, that old man Lu managed to pull it off, they could just reward him with something.
The Brain Trust was, after all, the highest position under the banner of the Luo Family in Stone City.
They controlled the local laws and various affairs within the entire system centered around the Luo Family.
So, becoming a member of the Brain Trust practically meant reaching the highest position in the system, apart from those of the Luo Family.
However, such a position was not easy to occupy.
There were only a hundred people in this position, and countless individuals desirous of supreme power fixed their gaze on this spot.
Should anyone commit even the slightest error, it would be magnified infinitely by their colleagues and people from the outside.
Because if these hundred seats were to remain unshaken, then those who wished to become part of them would never have a chance.
Just like, for instance, this time.
The member of the Brain Trust standing in the corner appeared to have suggested this idea without much thought, but who knows whether he was truly “careless,” or had ulterior motives.
Chances were, this person had already discussed the matter with other members of the Brain Trust at an earlier time, and then suddenly brought it up today, launching a surprise attack perhaps.
And if the person from the Lu Family really mishandled this matter, if they were attacked en masse and even expelled from the Brain Trust…
Then such a situation would be extremely advantageous for almost all other members of the Brain Trust.
“Old Lu?”
Inside the room, seated in the place of honor, Luo Ping, who was the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, looked at the member of the Brain Trust who had made the suggestion from the corner.
After pondering for a moment, he involuntarily narrowed his eyes.
Then, he shifted his attention to the Lu surnamed member of the Brain Trust.
Although the act of the member in the corner suddenly pushing out another was somewhat unethical…
It had to be said.
This proposal seemed to make some sense.
After all, a similar matter had been handled before by that old man surnamed Lu, and he managed it quite well.
So, if they continued to entrust this matter to that old man, letting him handle it seemed like an acceptable idea.
This is what Luo Ping, seated within the room as the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, was contemplating.
And that member of the Brain Trust recommended by the Lu Family, standing before Luo Ping, watched the silent young man in the corner, who seemed to still wear a slight smile.
Then, he looked at Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, seated in the place of honor, and big beads of sweat began to seep out on his forehead.
Trouble, it seemed like the situation had become complicated…
Although Luo Ping, as the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, had yet to say anything…
It looked like this matter was truly “meant for him”!
“Old Lu.”
“What do you think about this matter?”
After a moment of silence in the room, Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, seated in the place of honor, suddenly asked the Lu surnamed member of the Brain Trust before him.
Although Luo Ping, as the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, hadn’t said much yet…
But at this moment, under compelling circumstances, it seemed… he had no other choice.
“Patriarch, this matter…”
The Lu surnamed member of the Brain Trust swallowed his saliva, then seemed to want to say something.
But this time, before he could finish, Luo Ping, seated in the place of honor, directly interrupted him.
“In that case, this matter will be left in your hands.”
After saying this, Luo Ping silently bowed his head and said no more.
And Luo Yao, the next-in-line successor to the Luo Family Patriarch, silently enjoying the spectacle beside the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, now glanced back and forth between Patriarch Luo Ping and the Lu surnamed member of the Brain Trust.
“Interesting, truly interesting. I didn’t expect that before the Lu surnamed had said much, the old man in charge just forced the issue on him, his style is as unscrupulous as ever!”
Inside the room, next to Luo Ping, the Luo Family Patriarch.
This is what Luo Yao, the Luo Family’s successor was thinking.
