"No," Lu Cheng agreed. "But we can wait. Watch. And when he does emerge, we make sure he can't avoid us."
He looked around the room at his assembled family. "Everyone who has contact information for anyone in Lu Yuze's circle, secretaries, business associates, household staff, I want you to reach out. Politely. Professionally. But make it clear that we need to speak with him urgently."
"And if he still refuses?" the sharp-eyed aunt asked.
Lu Cheng's smile was cold. "Then we make it a business matter. Schedule a board meeting, invoke family company protocols, whatever it takes. He can ignore personal calls, but he can't ignore corporate obligations."
"You're going to force a confrontation," Mrs. Lu said, understanding dawning in her eyes.
"I'm going to get answers," Lu Cheng corrected. "One way or another."
