Chapter 1367: Chapter 1360: I Must Go

Seeing the anger in his father’s eyes, Han Zifeng took a deep breath and knelt again before Han Yuntao: ”Dad, I know you’re doing this for my good, but I also know what I’m doing. Do you know how your son survived? It was him who carried your son on his back, through enemy gunfire, and brought him out from a pile of corpses. He is my brother, my brother for life and death. Now that he’s in trouble, do you want me to stand idly by? Father, you’ve been teaching me since I was a child to be upright, loyal, and true to my conscience. I’m just doing what you said, and I must go on this journey to Jiangnan.”

Han Zifeng spoke forcefully, clearly aware of the dangers of Jiangnan, but he had to go. Lu Tianxing is his brother, his brother for life and death. If not for Lu Tianxing carrying him from a pile of corpses, Han Zifeng would not exist today. A man in this world must know what to do and what not to do. He cannot just stand by and watch his brother face danger.

As Han Yuntao listened to Han Zifeng’s words, his face flickered with indecisiveness. He never imagined that his formerly obedient son would one day rebut him so decisively and unquestionably.

”Dad, I’m sorry, thank you for raising me all these years. Forgive your son’s inability to serve by your side from now on. Please tell mother I’m sorry. I must go to Jiangnan, and no one can stop me. Without Lu Tianxing to save me, Han Zifeng would have died long ago. Now, even if I die, at most I’m just returning the favor. It’s nothing big.”

With these words, Han Zifeng suddenly kowtowed three times to Han Yuntao, the sound of his head hitting the stone slabs echoing loudly.

”Grandfather, your grandson is unfilial and can no longer serve by your side. I hope you can forgive your grandson.”

After speaking, Han Zifeng turned to kneel before Old Sir Han, kowtowed heavily three times, and after doing all this, he turned to walk outside without any hesitation.

Lu Tianxing is his brother and his life-saving benefactor. Han Zifeng will never be the kind of person who forgets kindness and righteousness. Even if there are cliffs ahead, brothers can face it with a smile, stepping over the bodies of enemies.

”Wait.”

Seeing Han Zifeng turn away without hesitation, before Han Yuntao could speak, Old Sir Han, who had been watching the scene, sighed softly and said, ”Zifeng, do you really want to go to Jiangnan?”

”Grandfather, I have always listened to you, but I must go on this journey to Jiangnan no matter what.” Han Zifeng stopped and said firmly.

”Zifeng, your grandfather doesn’t want to stop you. Since you want to go to Jiangnan, at least protect yourself. Take the Han Family’s Hidden Guard to Jiangnan, it’s safer that way.”

”What, Dad, how can you be so muddled, how can you let him go to Jiangnan.”

Hearing Old Sir Han’s words, Han Yuntao’s face changed color dramatically, and he said urgently: ”Dad, you know how dangerous Jiangnan is, with so many families eyeing the Lu Family. Once Old Sir Lu dies, the Lu Family will turn to dust in an instant. Dad, do you know about these things? How is Zifeng going to Jiangnan any different from seeking death?”

Old Sir Han sighed softly at Han Yuntao’s words and said, ”Yuntao, I know you’re doing this for Zifeng’s good, but there’s a saying, ’Every generation has its own luck.’ Now you’re in your fifties, how many decades do you think you have left? Can you protect Zifeng for a lifetime? The Han Family will eventually fall into Zifeng’s hands. Do you still want to control him then? An eagle must go through storms to soar in the sky. Let him do what he wants. No rain, no rainbow. Besides, I believe Zifeng will protect himself.”

After speaking, Old Sir Han turned his gaze back to Han Zifeng: ”Zifeng, I just hope you won’t regret the decision you made today.”

”Grandfather, I will not regret the decision I made today. If I don’t go to Jiangnan this time, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. Grandfather, father, I’m leaving.”

Han Zifeng took a deep breath and turned to walk outside without any hesitation.

Watching Han Zifeng turn and leave, Han Yuntao wanted several times to call him back. But seeing his son’s resolute back, he couldn’t get the words out of his mouth.

Watching Han Zifeng leave the study, Han Yuntao looked at Old Sir Han and asked confusedly: ”Dad, have you really decided to interfere in the Jiangnan affairs? You know what the situation in Jiangnan is now. Not to be harsh, but once Old Sir Lu dies, the downfall of the Lu Family is almost a certainty.”

”What good would it do to disagree? You know your son’s character; even if you forbid him from leaving the Han Family, it would only make your father-son relationship more strained. Since you can’t stop him, let him go to Jiangnan and see for himself.”

Old Sir Han sighed gently: ”Besides, do you really think the Lu Family will collapse so easily?”

Han Yuntao was slightly taken aback: ”Dad, what do you mean by that? Do you still believe the Lu Family has a chance to turn things around? The Tang Family and the Yang Family are both behemoths. The Tang Family has long dominated Shu; we can’t even fathom their strength. Adding the Yang Family and other families lying in wait, once Old Sir Lu dies, do you think the Lu Family can hold up?”

”Yuntao, you’re underestimating the Lu Family. Old Sir Lu is the Lu Family’s backbone, but don’t forget how many years the Lu Family has dominated Jiangnan and their deep reserves. Even if the Tang Family and Yang Family join forces, it’s not easy to destroy the Lu Family. Besides, do you really think Lu Tiankuang wouldn’t foresee the situation the Lu Family would face after his death? Wouldn’t he leave some contingency plans? If I’m not mistaken, if the Tang and Yang families truly wish to destroy the Lu Family, they will pay a painful price.”

”What, Dad, are you sure you heard correctly?”

Han Yuntao found it hard to believe what his ears were hearing. The Tang and Yang families, along with other second and third-tier families, could destroy the Han Family with ease. Without Old Sir Lu, is the Lu Family stronger than the Han Family?

”Do you think it’s wrong? Do you really think that Lu Tiankuang storming into Beijing with just a knife was mere bravado? Let me tell you, it’s his calculation, intimidating others. Every generation of the Lu Family must produce an exceptional genius. Once they grow up, they are indomitable, the basis of the Lu Family, and also its weakness. The death of an exceptional genius means a crisis of extermination for the Lu Family. When Lu Tianzhan died, Lu Tiankuang stormed into Beijing with just a knife, not only to avenge him but also to intimidate other families with ill intentions, showing them the strength of the Lu Family.”
