Chapter 116 The Final Frenzy

Chapter 116: The Final Madness

"Baby, I was wrong!" Fu Yan grabbed Du Yang's arm and pulled him back into his embrace, coaxing, "Baby, you know I've been holding back for thirty years. It's hard for me to resist you."

"But from now on, if you don't agree, I won't do anything."

"I don't believe you." Du Yang tilted his head and gently bit Fu Yan's Adam's apple, a mix of playfulness and anger in his tone. "Like last night, where you asked if I agreed? I won't fall for it again!"

Fu Yan let out a soft sigh, his voice helpless and husky. "Baby, seducing me like this early in the morning—testing my self-control?"

A hint of smugness flashed in the young man's dark eyes. "Sleeping in separate beds is a test too."

With that, Du Yang opened the car door and quickly scrambled out, his legs almost gave out as his feet touched the ground.

During the morning rush, students hurried along the path to the teaching building.

Du Yang wore a mask and blended into the crowd. Last night's incident had not only blown up on A University's forum but also trended nationwide on social media.

Most netizens believed Lu Yu had slandered him, showed no remorse, and should face legal consequences—an apology alone wasn't enough.

At noon, another post surfaced on A University's forum: "Regarding the Disciplinary Outcome of a Certain He for Luring a Certain Lu into a Gathering Involving Drug Use and Attempted Rape."

The school expelled He and handed him over to the police.

This sparked a wave of reactions. Soon, insiders posted partially blurred photos from the club, and online sleuths pieced together the unblurred parts, identifying Lu Yu and He Lin.

As the victim, a small number of classmates sympathized with Lu Yu, but most thought he deserved it—what goes around comes around. Some believed He Lin was too obsessed with Du Yang, leading him to act rashly and do something he'd regret.

In his past life, the same three were at the center of the storm, but only he was made the scapegoat.

In this life, the scapegoat had changed places.

Du Yang felt no relief from revenge—only a deep, aching sorrow.

The wounds engraved on his soul, whether avenged or not, would always linger, tearing at him when he least expected.

For a while after, Lu Yu didn't appear at A University, and the gossip gradually died down. Du Yang continued his routine of going to school and coming home.

A week later, Grandma Lu and Lu Jin'an took Du Yang to the relevant authorities to change his surname to Lu again and register him as a member of the Lu family.

Grandma Lu and Lu Jin'an prepared a grand welcome banquet for Lu Yang.

Because of his striking appearance, many at the banquet asked Grandma Lu whether her youngest grandson was taken.

Grandma Lu would point at Fu Yan, who was sticking close to Lu Yang. If it were anyone else, those wealthy families might compare their status, but once they saw it was the head of the Fu family, they quickly gave up the idea.

During this time, Fu Yan was suffering. They slept together every night, held him in his arms, had the meat right at his lips but couldn't take a bite.

Last weekend, Lu Yang went to his grandmother's house, and Fu Yan followed for two days. If he went again this weekend, he'd probably miss out again.

On Friday morning, Fu Yan began coaxing, "Baby, let's go back to the villa this afternoon. We'll spend the weekend there. I'll make you a spicy fish that isn't spicy at all, okay?"

A flicker of something crossed the young man's eyes, and he said reluctantly, "Alright."

"I'll come meet you at the company after school. Don't pick me up," Lu Yang added.

Rarely did Lu Yang give in, so Fu Yan naturally agreed to this small request.

At noon, after school

Lu Yang parted ways with Lin Haiyin and headed toward the subway station outside the school gate.

On a Friday noon, the subway station near A University was crowded with students heading out for part-time jobs or fun. Du Yang, backpack slung over one shoulder, weaved through the crowd.

"Ah—"

A sudden scream made Lu Yang spin around. Lu Yu was sitting on the ground, holding a cleaver, staring at him with a murderous gaze.

He looked even more savage after not seeing him for a while, nothing like the former pampered young master.

A young man in black with plain features quickly stepped in front of Lu Yang.

"Young Master Lu, I'm Chairman Fu's bodyguard. Stay behind me."

Just moments ago, Lu Yu, hidden in the crowd, had been about to stab Lu Yang in the back with the cleaver. At the critical moment, the bodyguard rammed into him, sending him sprawling.

Lu Yang stood behind the bodyguard, looking at Lu Yu, who seemed to want to tear him apart limb from limb. A smirk curled on his lips.

The scorn, contempt, and provocation in his eyes were undisguised.

In the past life, Lu Yu's actions had only gotten him a few months in prison—far too lenient.

The Lu family's welcome banquet for him was grand, and he had his grandmother invite plenty of reporters. News naturally spread all over Haicheng.

The man he adored most, and the identity of the esteemed Young Master Lu that he held, had both been taken from him.

Only by driving Lu Yu completely mad could he be destroyed.

This was what Lu Yang had been waiting for. How could the crime of slander compare to attempted murder?

Lu Yang's undisguised mockery and contempt utterly enraged Lu Yu. Today, he had come to die alongside Lu Yang. Since he was already ruined, why should this bastard live so happily?

"Ah! Ah! You bitch! I'll kill you!"

Lu Yu went berserk, leaping up from the ground and charging like a madman at Lu Yang and the bodyguard, slashing the knife wildly.

"Ah! Murder!" The crowd suddenly panicked, scattering to both sides in fear.

The bodyguard pushed Lu Yang behind him and met the charge, landing a flying kick that sent Lu Yu to the ground again.

Lu Yang pulled out his phone to call the police, his voice trembling with fake tears, as if genuinely frightened.

"Officer! I need to report a crime! Someone is trying to kill me at the north gate of A University!"

"Yes, at the subway entrance! Hurry, ah..." Lu Yang screamed into the phone.

The bodyguard's arm was slashed by the utterly crazed Lu Yu, and blood gushed out.

Then Lu Yu charged again at Lu Yang, wildly swinging the cleaver.

Students lined both sides. If he fled into the crowd, more people would get hurt.

In an instant, Lu Yang decided to run toward the subway station. But as he stepped back, Lu Yu, who was closing in, was suddenly knocked aside.

Lu Ting, taking advantage of the moment Lu Yu fell, lunged forward and pinned him down firmly.

Lu Yang stood frozen, completely shocked to see Lu Ting here.

But only for a split second—the bodyguard had already rushed over, seized the weapon from Lu Yu, and quickly subdued him.

Lu Yu was pressed face down on the ground by the bodyguard, still struggling and glaring defiantly at Lu Yang.

"Slap!"

Lu Ting fiercely slapped Lu Yu. "You're truly vicious! I generously chose not to hold you accountable, but you still want to kill Yangyang!"

Lu Yu seemed to be awakened by Lu Ting's slap, looking up at Lu Ting in disbelief, tears streaming down.

"Xiao Yu, this is your own doing." There was no more tenderness in Lu Ting's eyes, only disappointment.

There was a police substation on the A University campus, so the response was quick; they arrived in two minutes and quickly escorted Lu Yu and the weapon into the car.

Lu Yang then noticed that Lu Ting also had a cut on the back of his hand. Lu Ting was pressing his hand over the wound, and blood was seeping through his fingers.

Seeing Lu Ting about to turn and leave, Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and called out to him, "The school clinic is very close. You should go get that bandaged up too."

Ever since that day at the Lu family home, Lu Yang had not seen Lu Ting. He couldn't bring himself to call him "Dad" now.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, to Yangyang."

Lu Ting was so excited that he was almost incoherent. He knew he was too ashamed to face Lu Yang, so he had been hiding at the school gate every time, wanting to sneak a few glances at Lu Yang.

It turned out that every time, Fu Yan was the one who picked him up by car. Today, he finally saw his son, but didn't dare to approach, only dared to follow from a distance, hidden in the crowd, secretly watching.

He never expected to witness Lu Yu's reckless attack.

The moment he shoved Lu Yu aside, Lu Ting felt a glimmer of hope that he could finally do something for his son.

He owed his youngest son too much. Even if he were stabbed a few more times, it couldn't make up for his guilt.

Both the bodyguard's and Lu Ting's wounds were not deep, and they could be treated at the school clinic.

Lu Yang waited outside while the two got stitches in the treatment room.

Remembering that he hadn't told Fu Yan yet, Lu Yang hurriedly took out his phone from his pocket. Just as he was about to unlock the phone, a shadow fell over him. He looked up and found himself in a familiar embrace, tightly held.
