Chapter 923: Chapter 917: Past Events Like the Wind

“What was the final result?”

“The final outcome was a failure. By the time the Lu Family members arrived, the scene was only left with pools of blood and a nearly demolished site. Your father disappeared without a trace, and the trusted aide who was protecting your mother also died halfway; both your mother and you vanished without a trace.”

Lu Chuan glanced at Lu Tianxing, deeply inhaling as he said, “Given the power of the Lu Family, finding you and your mother should have been easy, but because last time your grandfather demanded your father to apologize to the major families, it made your father feel the Lu Family lacked compassion, always putting family interests first, so he simply cut all ties with the Lu family.”

“So even after you were born, no one from the Lu Family ever saw you, there weren’t even any of your birth photos or documents, and even the doctors from the hospital where your mother gave birth were all killed. All videos related to you also disappeared without a trace. The Lu Family spent more than ten years, and eventually got a clue that you had a star-shaped mark on your leg, likely in Modu, and that’s how we found Little Young Master, because you are so much like your father.”

After hearing Lu Chuan’s story, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, “Old Sir Lu, I admit your words might be true, but why do you presume I’m the Little Young Master you’re talking about? Moreover, it’s been over twenty years now, you had no clues back then, how can you be sure I’m the infant from those days.”

After speaking these words, even Lu Tianxing didn’t notice, his voice carried a hint of tremor, along with fear and expectation.

“Little Young Master, if there were no evidence, do you think I would be speaking so recklessly?”

As he spoke, Lu Chuan took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lu Tianxing: “This is the DNA report we collected concerning you and the preserved DNA of your father. You can take a look; I think you should know that DNA, if preserved well, can still be identified even after hundreds of years.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lu Chuan’s expression, gently took the paper, and for some reason, his fingers started trembling slightly, as if he was holding not just a piece of paper, but a mountain.

Gently unfolding the sheet, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, reading it word by word. When he saw the confirmation that the genetic similarity rate was ninety-nine percent, indicating a familial relationship, Lu Tianxing’s body trembled, these words struck heavily on his heart like a hammer, immediately making him feel like he was suffocating.

He never thought, originally believing his parents were dead or abandoned him, yet the scene before him clearly told him his parents did not abandon him, but instead had pressing reasons.

Lu Tianxing knew it couldn’t be fake because Lu Chuan was fully aware of his identity. If he wanted to investigate seriously, it wouldn’t take long to reveal the truth, so Lu Chuan wouldn’t use such clumsy means to deceive him.

“Is this true?”

Even though he was already certain internally, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but ask. He had been searching for his parents for many years, even resenting them in his heart for abandoning him. But Lu Chuan’s words made him feel an unaccepting truth, making him realize he wasn’t a stray child, not a child discarded by his parents.

“It’s true, Little Young Master. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Jiangnan Lu Family to see for yourself, then you’ll know whether I’m lying to you.”

Lu Chuan didn’t say much because he knew very well, a person who searched for their parents for over a decade, and were insulted as illegitimate for those same years in the orphanage, suddenly having parents appear is something hard to accept.

If it were him, he would react the same way.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing remained silent, his fingers trembling as he fished out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it for himself, desperately smoking, as if trying to numb himself with nicotine, though without any effect.

“Since you tracked me down, why didn’t you come to find me?”

“We were afraid?”

Lu Chuan shook his head and said, “After confirming you were the Little Young Master, the Old Master wanted to come and find you immediately, but I think Little Young Master knows, each of the major family powers competes against each other, even the Lu Family is the same. The Lu Family isn’t just the Old Master’s lineage, there are other lines too.”

“And through years of investigation, the reason your father suddenly left Beijing with your mother for Modu was most likely due to a letter from someone in one of those other lines warning them. Unfortunately, after your father’s disappearance, Lu Family investigated but that letter was already gone without a trace; someone evidently doesn’t want this known.”

“So this means my father is already dead?”

“The Old Master certainly isn’t dead.”

Lu Chuan, upon hearing this, said with certainty, “At the place where the Old Master and those warriors fought, we found the blood left by your father through DNA, but there was no corpse. I believe the Old Master is definitely not dead, not only that, but the lady wouldn’t be dead either. Perhaps the Old Master learned something, and that’s why he wouldn’t dare return to the Lu Family or look for you. But what can be certain is that the Old Master is likely not dead.”

“If that’s the case, have you eliminated those few families in Beijing?”

“No, through our investigation, the Beijing families were merely pawns; the true culprits are not these families. Therefore, the Lu Family opted for patience, waiting for a day to uncover the real mastermind and let them know the cost of plotting against Lu Family members.”

“I understand. Thank you for telling me so much. I don’t know if I am your Little Young Master, but someday, I will personally pursue this truth.” Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said.

“I know. Oh, Little Young Master, this is a photo given to me by the Old Master of your father and mother, I’m handing it over to you now.”

After saying this, Lu Chuan took a photo, slightly yellowed, from his pocket and handed it to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing accepted the photo, glanced at it, and on it were a man and a woman. The woman possessed exceptional beauty, strikingly more beautiful than Bai Zhiqing by threefold, exuding a pure angelic-like aura, with gentle smiles that gave a sense of warmth.

The man was in a military uniform, not particularly handsome in appearance, but carried himself with an innate confident aura, not arrogance, but confidence in all matters, with the same brilliant smile at the corner of his mouth. The two leaned against each other, seemingly a wedding photo.
