CHAPTER 1073: CHAPTER 1067: THE OLD MASTER OF THE LU FAMILY’S KILLING INTENT

Lu Tianxing shivered at Bai Zhiqing’s sweet words and said somewhat apprehensively, "Honey, what are you talking about! I don’t understand what you mean."

"I mean you should carry me home," Bai Zhiqing said with a smile, looking at Lu Tianxing.

"Um."

Lu Tianxing broke out in a cold sweat and chuckled awkwardly, "Honey, I think it’d be more practical if I flagged down a car for you."

Saying that, Lu Tianxing eagerly walked towards the side of the road.

Just at that moment, the roar of an engine could be heard suddenly. A yellow Ferrari sports car sped quickly from afar and stopped at the roadside. Liang Shidao got out of the car, scanning the surroundings, then strode briskly towards Lu Tianxing.

"Brother Lu, Miss Bai, are you okay!" Liang Shidao said directly to the two of them.

"Our ride has arrived."

Lu Tianxing smiled slightly at Bai Zhiqing and then said to Liang Shidao, "Mr. Liang, what brings you here?"

"Brother Lu, I heard that just after you left Xiang Crab Garden, someone tried to tail you. I was worried you might be in danger, so I rushed over,"

Liang Shidao said anxiously, "So, how are you, Brother Lu? Are you hurt? Do you need me to investigate who was following you?"

"Mr. Liang, thank you for your concern. I’m fine, it’s just that we lost the car."

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said noncommittally, "Actually, I’m not entirely sure who they were. It’s just that after I took out the last person, that guy claimed to be from the Zhou Family."

"The Zhou Family?"

Liang Shidao frowned immediately upon hearing this and said, "Could it be that the Zhou Family saw you had a conflict with Zhou Sihao at Xiang Crab Garden and, fearing leaving evidence, secretly sent people to kill you?"

"Unclear."

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said to Liang Shidao, "Mr. Liang, I wonder if you have time to give my wife and me a lift back to the hotel."

"No problem," Liang Shidao said without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Mr. Liang."

Lu Tianxing nodded to Liang Shidao, then led Bai Zhiqing toward the car, knowing that everything here would naturally be handled by others.

...

Accompanying Lu Tianxing’s ride back in Liang Shidao’s car, the incident where Lu Tianxing was pursued midway was ultimately hushed up but still reached the ears of some interested parties.

Lu Family!

Old Master Lu’s eyes were now filled with a cold murderous intent. Since his son died, for more than twenty years, this was the first time he had felt a murderous urge. His grandson was ambushed on his own turf, how could this not enrage the Old Master of the Lu Family?

After all, in Old Master Lu’s heart, he had always felt guilty towards his son. With Lu Tianxing’s appearance, he naturally transferred this guilt to Lu Tianxing, feeling that he owed him. Now, just as Lu Tianxing stepped into Suzhou, he was pursued for assassination, and one can only imagine the anger burning in the Old Master of Lu Family’s heart.

His face was as dark as it could be, a chilling aura emanating from Old Master Lu, surrounded by whirling gusts that appeared out of nowhere. The temperature around suddenly dropped to the extreme, and a light frost faintly condensed on the flowers, grass, and trees.

Lu Chuan, who had just rushed back from Beijing, looked at Old Master Lu with fear. True Qi appeared all over him to resist the cold, knowing that the old man in front of him was truly angry. Though since the incident with Lu Tianzhan back then, Old Master Lu hadn’t acted again, his strength had never diminished.

At this moment, Old Master Lu, because of his anger, caused the weather to change. It was evident how furious the Old Master of the Lu Family was. The stunning murderous intent he radiated imposed a huge pressure on people.

Even though Lu Chuan had served Old Master Lu for decades, the only other time he saw him this furious was twenty years ago, with the death of Lu Tianzhan. Old Master Lu raged to the extreme, taking a knife in hand and charging into Beijing on his own. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Yanhuang Group’s leader and Supreme Elders back then, a lot of families would be missing from today’s Beijing.

"Lu Chuan, were they hurt?"

Old Master Lu slowly opened his mouth, his tone carrying a trace of coldness.

"They weren’t hurt. Liang Shidao took them back to the hotel."

"Do you know who was behind this incident?"

Lu Chuan was slightly taken aback when he heard Old Master Lu speak, unsure how to respond.

"Speak, I won’t blame you."

Lu Chuan took a deep breath and said, "According to rumors, the ones who ambushed the young master midway were from the Zhou Family, because the young master had a conflict with Zhou Sihao of the Zhou Family at Xiang Crab Garden, they wanted revenge. Of course, it might also be someone spreading misinformation, the Zhou Family isn’t that foolish."

"Besides the Zhou Family, I suspect another party targeting the young master might be the Heavenly God. But I dismissed this speculation later. We have investigated the Heavenly God and know his style. Last time at the Wealth Mansion, he already knew the young master’s capabilities. If he wanted to kill the young master, he wouldn’t send small fry but experts who could genuinely take him down."

"Continue."

"And as the young master wasn’t hurt this time, it clearly indicates these people were not a threat. Therefore, it couldn’t be anyone sent by the Heavenly God. I suspect the ones responsible might be... "

Lu Chuan didn’t continue, considering this was family business for the Lu Family. Although he was the butler, he ultimately wasn’t one of the Lu Family.

"Was it someone from the Lu Family?"

Lu Chuan nodded.

An icy expression flashed across the Old Master Lu’s face. He had expected that someone from the Lu Family might act against Lu Tianxing because if Lu Tianxing officially joined, it would disrupt many people’s interests. Action was inevitable, but he hadn’t thought that the Lu Family would be so eager to eliminate Lu Tianxing.

Old Master Lu was more worried not about the Lu Family members but about the Heavenly God, as even with the Lu Family’s resources, they couldn’t ascertain who the Heavenly God was. If the Heavenly God was involved, or if he was secretly instigating the Lu Family against Lu Tianxing to make them fight, that would be the most frightening scenario.

"Lu Chuan, don’t let this matter leak out, and secretly find out which branch of the Lu Family is responsible for this. Once you know, tell me. The Lu Family may have decayed, but I’ve tolerated it out of kinship. Anyone who dares to reach out this time will have their hand cut off," Old Master Lu said with murderous intent.

"Master, please stay calm. I will have someone investigate secretly."

"Alright!"

Old Master Lu nodded and said, "You just mentioned that the boy Tianxing knows Liang Shidao?"

"Yes, it was Liang Shidao who brought the young master back to the hotel."

"The Liang Family."

Old Master Lu murmured softly, waving his hand to dismiss Lu Chuan. After Lu Chuan left, Old Master Lu slowly stood up from his chair: "The Liang Family, you’d better not make a move against Tianxing, otherwise I won’t hesitate to make your Liang Family vanish into thin air."
