Capítulo 1388: Chapter 1381: Sending a Grand Gift to Lu Tianxing

“Screw you, just focus on driving.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s blatant words, a flush appeared on Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face. She rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing irritably and said softly, “Tianxing, what should we do next? I’m afraid Lu Hongda and Lu Gaoyang won’t let it go. They might target you.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, “Of course, they won’t let it go. Because their aim isn’t just to kill me, they also want to seize the position of Family Head of the Lu Family. In their minds, we are just obstacles. They won’t rest until they’ve gotten rid of us.”

“Lu Tianxing, what should we do next? Should we leave Jiangnan and return to Modu?”

“Returning to Modu would only put Grandpa and Grandma in danger. I’ll stay in Jiangnan. Tomorrow I’ll have someone send you back to Modu. Their target is me; as long as I stay, they won’t go after you. Besides, Modu is much safer than Jiangnan. I’ll feel more at ease with you in Modu.” Lu Tianxing said to Bai Zhiqing.

“Lu Tianxing, I…”

Bai Zhiqing’s words were cut off by Lu Tianxing, who said, “Dear, I know you want to stay with me in Jiangnan, but you also know what the situation is like in Jiangnan now. Once Grandpa’s death is made public, the whole of Jiangnan will be engulfed in bloody chaos. Countless families will gather in Jiangnan, and I won’t have time to protect you. After you return to Modu, stay with Rose and the others. It’ll be safer that way, at least until the Lu Family is kaput, your safety won’t be an issue, and you can help alleviate my business pressures. If I’m not mistaken, the day of the old man’s funeral will be the day those families launch a full-scale attack on the Lu Family, striking every part, including its business ventures. Bai’s Group won’t be exempt either. Your job is to help me eliminate this concern, understand?”

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing remained silent for a moment and eventually nodded. She really wanted to stay by Lu Tianxing’s side and face adversity together, but she also understood that staying in Jiangnan would only be a burden to Lu Tianxing.

“Alright, darling, don’t worry. With my current strength, unless an elder makes a move, no one can really challenge me. Besides, even if I’m not a match for the older generation, don’t we still have Grandpa? Don’t forget Grandpa’s fierceness when he single-handedly fought his way into Beijing with a knife. As long as he appears, those people will crumble like dirt clods. Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to walk around Suzhou, do some shopping, and return the day after.” Lu Tianxing said with a light laugh, lightly squeezing Bai Zhiqing’s tender-like-warm-jade palms.

“Mhm.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded and seemed to recall something, saying, “Tianxing, Grandpa must know about the happenings in Jiangnan. Should I call him to reassure him about our safety?”

“Go ahead and call Grandpa! He’s getting on in years; too much worry isn’t good for his health. Tell him we’re safe and sound, and we’ll be back in some time.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing nodded, said no more, and took out her phone from her pocket, dialing Bai Qiao Mountain’s number.

Meanwhile, Lu Tianxing focused on his driving, heading towards the old Suzhou Garden Hotel.

At the same time, inside a private room of a luxurious private club in Suzhou.

Jiang Haochen held a glass of red wine, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing blankly at the bustling scene outside. When he received the news of the old Master’s death, he could hardly believe what he heard. How could he imagine that the once-feared Old Master Lu, who single-handedly broke into Beijing, would fail to pass this hurdle and die so pathetically, even at the hands of his own grandson?

When the Lu Family released this news, he still wore an incredulous expression. Could the Lu Family, which had dominated Jiangnan for so many years, finally be on the verge of collapse? Could he finally remove this mountain that has been pressing over the Jiang Family’s heads and become Jiangnan’s undisputed great family?

At this thought, Jiang Haochen felt his blood boiling, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. For how many years, for how many generations, the Jiang Family had longed to move this mountain called the Lu Family. And now, he was about to fulfill that dream with his own hands. The Lu Family was destined to perish under his hand.

After a while, light footsteps sounded from outside the door, then stopped abruptly as the door was pushed open.

Hearing the door push open, Jiang Haochen turned around immediately to see Yang Tiansi walking in with a beaming smile, looking very pleased with himself.

“Brother Yang, you came, have a seat.” Jiang Haochen pointed at a seat beside him as Yang Tiansi walked in.

Yang Tiansi sat down unceremoniously beside him and said, “You’re in such a hurry to call me over, is the Jiang Family frightened?”

“Afraid.”

Jiang Haochen’s face showed a hint of mockery, “If Lu Tiankuang were still alive, I, Jiang Haochen, might still fear the Lu Family by a fraction, but now that Lu Tiankuang is dead, what is the Lu Family without him? I brought you here to ask when exactly you’ll make your move; the longer we wait, the more likely something will go wrong.”

“Brother Jiang, don’t be anxious. Isn’t there a saying that haste makes waste? Calm down. With that old guy Lu Tiankuang gone, the Lu Family is just a toothless tiger. There’s nothing to fear. Don’t you think acting when they’re at their most desperate is the most satisfying?” Yang Tiansi said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Tiansi’s words, Jiang Haochen was stunned for a moment and then said gravely, “Weren’t you planning to use Lu Hongda to create chaos within the Lu Family? Are you planning something else? Don’t forget, a dead camel is still larger than a horse. Forcing the Lu Family into a corner won’t benefit us at all.”

“Brother Jiang, didn’t you just say you weren’t afraid? Why are you afraid now?”

“Yes, I am indeed afraid now.”

This time, Jiang Haochen admitted without hesitation, his face somewhat grim, “Initially, I thought you’d deal with the Lu Family swiftly, and I wouldn’t be afraid. But you keep provoking the Lu Family repeatedly. Do you really think the Lu Family’s foundation is that shallow? Your Yang Family is far away in Beijing, so you can act recklessly. Don’t forget, our Jiang Family is in Jiangnan, right in Suzhou, practically under the Lu Family’s nose. At this moment, by provoking the Lu Family instead of destroying them, are you trying to get our Jiang Family wiped out by the Lu Family?”

Hearing Jiang Haochen’s words, a cold light flashed in Yang Tiansi’s eyes before disappearing without a trace. He smiled lightly, “Brother Jiang, don’t rush. Since I dare to act, of course, I have complete confidence. Right now, we are all in the same boat. If anything happens to the Jiang Family, we’ll suffer as well, so don’t worry. Besides, the Lu Family is currently too busy to deal with us. Don’t forget, we have the Tang Family backing us and the ambitious Jiangnan clique. If the Lu Family acts rashly, they’ll only face faster destruction.”

Hearing these words, Jiang Haochen’s expression softened a bit, acknowledging the rationale in Yang Tiansi’s words, “What are your next steps?”

“I’ll give Lu Tianxing a little appetizer. Didn’t his father die for a woman? This time, I want Lu Tianxing to repeat his father’s mistakes, let him die for a woman too—no, I won’t kill him. I want him to watch with his own eyes as the Lu Family is destroyed, to see his woman submit beneath me. I want him to live a life worse than death.”

There was a hint of hysteria and madness in Yang Tiansi’s eyes; only by making Lu Tianxing live a life worse than death could he quell his own hatred.

“You’re thinking of kidnapping Bai Zhiqing to threaten him?” Jiang Haochen said gravely.

“Don’t you think it’s a great idea? Besides, I believe you’ve heard the news that Lu Tianxing killed Old Master Lu, turning the Lu Family against him. Even if we kidnap Bai Zhiqing, the Lu Family won’t intervene. And as long as the Lu Family doesn’t step in, do you think Lu Tianxing has any chance of turning things around?”

A bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed across Yang Tiansi’s face, “As long as there’s no chance for a comeback, Lu Tianxing is like a fish in our barrel, with zero power to resist, free to be slaughtered by us.”

Hearing Yang Tiansi’s words, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Haochen’s eyes, “When do you plan to act?”

“Tomorrow, I’ll deliver a big gift to Lu Tianxing, hoping he can hold out for a few more rounds and not die. I want him to see himself with nothing, living a life worse than death.”

The bloodthirsty murderous intent on Yang Tiansi’s face grew stronger, “Brother Jiang, in a couple of days, I plan to make a move on Bai’s Group. Are you interested in joining?”

“Of course, I’m interested.”

Jiang Haochen said gravely, “But if we touch Bai’s Group, the Lu Family might get involved. After all, they understand that when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold. Once we swallow Bai’s Group, our power will greatly increase. They shouldn’t just let us act. Should we use official powers?”

Hearing Jiang Haochen’s words, Yang Tiansi refused without hesitation, “No, I’ve received word that Sima Lingyun has already brought the Yanhuang Group people to Jiangnan. Using official powers would only make us passive. After all, this is a business rivalry—an open war and normal business competition. That’s why the higher-ups turn a blind eye. If we use official powers, the nature of it changes, and that’s not beneficial for us. We might even get implicated. Moreover, with our commercial power, we can crush Bai’s Group.”
