Capítulo 1387: Chapter 1380: The Wind Rises

Beijing, Han Family.

Old Sir Han, upon receiving the news of Old Sir Lu’s death, sat dazed in his study for a long time, unable to come to terms with it. He never thought that within a day, the news of Old Sir Lu’s death would arrive.

“Dad, do you think Old Sir Lu is really dead?” Han Yuntao asked in a low voice, sitting beside Old Sir Han.

“Is he dead? Do you think he is dead?”

Old Sir Han glanced at his son, counter-questioned, and slowly stood up from his chair, gazing out at the desolate autumn scenery, murmuring softly, “The wind is rising, who lives, who dies, only the heavens know.”

With a sigh, Old Sir Han suddenly turned to look at Han Yuntao, his tone unprecedentedly grave, “Yuntao, pass my order, no Han family descendant except Zifeng is to interfere in Jiangnan affairs. No one is to set foot in Jiangnan, no one is to touch any of the Lu Family’s known assets, and no one is allowed to make a move against the Lu Family. Anyone who dares to go against the Lu Family behind my back will be dealt with according to the Han family rules.”

“Yes, father, I will make the arrangements.”

Han Yuntao nodded heavily, sensing a vague feeling in his heart that Old Sir Lu definitely wasn’t dead, but for some families, interests could blind them.

Reactions varied between the Han family and the Yang family, unfolding in different parts of China. Some believed Old Sir Lu was dead, seeing it as the best opportunity to destroy the Lu Family. Others were watching and waiting, thinking it was a trap set by the Lu Family to lure them in and capture them all.

Some were entirely indifferent, adopting a detached attitude, for whom the rise or fall of the Lu Family had no relation to them.

But coincidentally, all attention was drawn to Jiangnan. They knew very well in their hearts that whether the Lu Family was destroyed or continued to exist, the entire Chinese power landscape would undergo a new reshuffle.

Meanwhile, early in the morning, Sima Lingyun was in a car heading to Jiangnan, listening to messages from Yanhuang Group intelligence personnel. His face suddenly turned extremely heavy.

The death of Old Sir Lu was akin to breaking the backbone of the Lu Family, and those ready to deal with the Lu Family would likely strike mercilessly. At that time, the entire Jiangnan would become the eye of a storm, possibly even stirring up a bloodbath, and maybe the whole of China would become tumultuous, given the numerous assets the Lu Family has in the open.

Sima Lingyun wore a bitter expression, murmuring softly, “Old Lu, oh Old Lu, why didn’t you hold on a bit longer? If you held on until my master came out of seclusion, maybe the Lu Family wouldn’t be like this now.”

Sima Lingyun sighed again, urging Jiao Long to drive faster. He had to meet Lu Tianxing for once, or else, knowing Lu Tianxing’s temperament, all of Jiangnan might become a bloodbath, unstoppable unless someone at the Late Stage of Mythical intervened.

Completely unaware of the turbulent waves across China due to Old Sir Lu’s death, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, after leaving the courtyard, got into a car without delay and left the Lu Family.

“Tianxing, are you alright?” Sitting in the passenger seat, Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with some concern.

“I’m fine.”

Lu Tianxing gently shook his head and said, “Honey, let’s find a hotel to stay for now. We’ll leave Jiangnan after Grandpa’s funeral.”

“Okay.”

Bai Zhiqing gently nodded, her gaze lingering on Lu Tianxing, wanting to speak but hesitating.

“Honey, what’s up? Is there something you want to say to me? We’re a couple; there’s nothing we can’t talk about.” Lu Tianxing noticed Bai Zhiqing’s hesitation and said softly.

“Lu Tianxing, I have a question for you.”

Bai Zhiqing hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask, “Tianxing, is Grandpa actually not dead?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback by Bai Zhiqing’s question, “Honey, how did you know?”

Regarding Old Sir Lu’s matter, Lu Tianxing hadn’t intended to hide it from Bai Zhiqing. He might choose not to trust Lu Bowen, Lu Haoyue, but he trusted Bai Zhiqing implicitly because she was his wife, his woman, a person who would walk through hell for him, willingly kneel to save him. If he couldn’t trust Bai Zhiqing, then he truly could trust no one in this life.

“Lu Tianxing, you forgot that I am your wife, who spends every day with you. I know your character very well. You once told me you’d definitely cure Grandpa. If he really died because of this, you’d be deeply remorseful. I must admit, you acted well earlier; unfamiliar people would be fooled, but don’t forget, I’m your wife, who spends every day with you. You couldn’t fool me.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing tenderly. Ever since she accepted Lu Tianxing, she had been trying to understand everything about him, knowing his character well. If Lu Tianxing truly caused Old Sir Lu’s death, he would be remorseful, not standing silently as he did but kneeling before Old Sir Lu’s body to atone. Furthermore, during the mocking from Lu Hongda and Lu Gaoyang, if he had caused the death, he wouldn’t retaliate but let them mock and ridicule him.

This was one reason Bai Zhiqing judged that Old Sir Lu wasn’t dead. And as for whether Lu Tianxing would murder Old Sir Lu, Bai Zhiqing hadn’t considered it. If Lu Tianxing wanted to kill Old Sir Lu, he wouldn’t have risked going to New York, which wasn’t a showcase but a true life-and-death crisis. No one would put their life on the line for a show.

“Hehe, as expected of my wife, you’re indeed remarkably clever.”

Lu Tianxing gently pinched Bai Zhiqing’s nose with his hand, the heavy and cold expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a relaxed and leisurely smile.

“Get lost, don’t pinch my nose.”

Bai Zhiqing playfully slapped Lu Tianxing’s hand away.

“Hehe, if you don’t want me to pinch your nose, then honey, where would you like me to pinch?”

Lu Tianxing’s face showed a mischievous smile, his gaze subtly sweeping over Bai Zhiqing’s ample Holy Maiden Peak, feeling a surge of appetite. It seemed that after his months of development, Bai Zhiqing’s assets seemed to be growing again, heading towards a D+ trend. It looked like he needed to work hard to push it towards an E.
