Capítulo 1393: Chapter 1386: You Are the One Who Killed Lu Tianzhan

The moon is cool as water, and the night always falls without people realizing it.

While Old Master Zhou was inviting Lu Tianxing to dinner, a black Mercedes sedan steadily parked at the entrance of the Jiangnan Restaurant. The figure of Lu Hongda quietly descended from the car and headed straight to the top-floor private room without any hesitation.

“Uncle Lu, you finally came. I thought you might refuse your nephew’s invitation!”

As soon as Lu Hongda reached the top floor, he heard a voice next to his ear and instinctively turned his head to see Jiang Haochen standing beside him with a smiling face.

“Young Master Jiang, I’m not sure why you’ve invited me here today, but I assume it’s not just for a simple meal,” Lu Hongda replied calmly as he looked at Jiang Haochen, leaving everyone unable to guess what was on his mind.

“Hehe, Uncle Lu, of course, it’s not just about eating. I’m just an intermediary. The person who wants to invite you to dinner today is someone else. Please follow me; he’s already waiting for you inside.”

After speaking, Jiang Haochen didn’t say another word and turned to lead the way to one of the luxurious private rooms inside.

Watching Jiang Haochen’s retreating figure, Lu Hongda frowned slightly, a flicker of doubt in his eyes, but he followed Jiang Haochen without any hesitation.

“Uncle Lu, please.”

Jiang Haochen walked to the door of the private room, knocked, and then opened it, gesturing for Lu Hongda to enter.

Without any hesitation, Lu Hongda walked inside. When he saw a young man being attended to by a bikini-clad girl in the private room, Lu Hongda’s face changed. Without thinking, he turned and walked out.

“Mr. Lu, are you planning to leave so simply without greeting me? Or have you forgotten about what happened more than twenty years ago? Have you forgotten Lu Tianzhan?” Seeing Lu Hongda turning to leave, Yang Tiansi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, speaking calmly, without getting up.

Upon hearing Yang Tiansi’s words, Lu Hongda paused, a glint of extreme coldness flashing in his eyes before quickly disappearing. He turned to Yang Tiansi and said, “Young Master Yang, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Besides, the Lu Family and the Yang Family are sworn enemies. We have nothing to discuss.”

“Hehe, you don’t know what I’m talking about, Lu Hongda? Let me remind you. Twenty years ago, Lu Tianzhan suddenly left Beijing for Modu because someone sent him a letter. Who do you think wrote that letter? Should I say more…?”

Before Yang Tiansi could finish, Lu Hongda interrupted, speaking with a cold expression, “Young Master Yang, what do you mean by this?”

“Nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you, if Lu Tianxing finds out that the letter that lured his father out of Beijing was from you, and that you were the one who tipped us off about Lu Tianzhan’s route, leading to his ambush, if he learns that you are his father’s killer, what do you think he’ll do to you?”

“Young Master Yang, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have no knowledge of any letter. I, Lu Hongda, am a descendant of the Lu Family. Tianzhan was my third brother. How could I do such a thing as fratricide?” Lu Hongda’s expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Yang Tiansi carried an undeniable murderous intent, and the True Qi within him began to stir.

“Lu Hongda, you want to kill me? Unfortunately, you dare not, because you’re afraid. You don’t know how many people I might have already informed. If you dare to kill me, this news might reach Lu Tianxing’s ears by tonight.”

“What exactly do you want?” Lu Hongda spoke in a somewhat deep voice. Indeed, he didn’t dare to kill Yang Tiansi, as Yang Tiansi couldn’t have come alone. If he really killed Yang Tiansi, he would have no place in China, and all his efforts would be in vain.

“Don’t be tense, sit down and have some tea first.”

Yang Tiansi laughed as he looked at Lu Hongda’s expression, saying, “Rest assured, we share a common enemy, which is Lu Tianxing. I’m here today hoping we can cooperate. I don’t want to clear obstacles for the enemy, and the enemy’s enemy is a friend, right? Don’t you want to kill Lu Tianxing and become the Head of the Lu Family? With my help, you can definitely become the Head of the Lu Family, untouchable by anyone.”

“Why should I believe you?” Lu Hongda replied coldly, looking at Yang Tiansi.

“You have no choice but to believe me, Lu Hongda. Without my help, you will never gain the position of the Lu Family’s head in this lifetime, do you believe me?”

“Moreover, you’re well aware of the situation the Lu Family faces now. To put it bluntly, without Lu Tiankuang, the Lu Family is at most a second-rate family in Jiangnan. You cannot guarantee whether the Lu Family will be destroyed. Lu Hongda, I’m here today because we have a common enemy. If you agree to cooperate with me, I guarantee you will be the future Head of the Lu Family.”

“Hehe, Young Master Yang, you’ve gone through a lot of trouble to tell me all this. I suspect it’s not just to help me become the Lu Family head, is it?” Lu Hongda managed to keep his expression unchanged.

“Of course not. I want half of the Lu Family’s assets, including the lives of Lu Haoyue, Lu Tianxing, and the body of Lu Tiankuang. I want to take his body to pay tribute to the spirit of my ancestor Yang Shenxing.”

“You want to take my father’s body back to the Tang Family? That’s impossible,” Lu Hongda refused outright, without a second thought. If Yang Tiansi took Old Master Lu’s body, the Lu Family would become a complete joke in China.

“Nothing is impossible, Lu Hongda. You have no choice. There are only two paths before you. First, cooperate with us, and we’ll support you to become the Lu Family head. Second, I’ll tell Lu Tianxing about how you betrayed Lu Tianzhan. Do you think he would spare you?”

At this moment, an extremely sinister voice echoed in the room, and a middle-aged man with a grim face pushed the door and walked in from outside.

If Lu Tianxing were here, he would surely recognize this middle-aged man as Tang Fengxiao, the uncle of Tang Qing, whom he had encountered at a bar.

“Tang Fengxiao, so the Shu Tang Family is also involved. Does this mean yesterday’s attack on Old Master was your doing?” Lu Hongda’s expression turned exceptionally ugly upon seeing Tang Fengxiao.

“Otherwise, do you think Lu Tiankuang would have died so quickly?”

Tang Fengxiao’s eyes gleamed with coldness, “Lu Hongda, I don’t have much patience to discuss other things with you, and don’t pretend to be loyal. If you hadn’t written that letter to Lu Tianzhan, and hadn’t secretly informed us of Lu Tianzhan leaving Beijing, do you think we’d have had the chance to kill Lu Tianzhan? You’re nothing but a traitor to the Lu Family.”

“Lu Hongda, you have no choice. Life and death are just a matter of your decision. If you choose to perish with the Lu Family, you can leave now. Rest assured, we won’t act against you for now. We’ll let you watch the Lu Family members die one by one before your eyes, leaving no one from your line remaining,” Yang Tiansi said with a sinister tone from the side.

Hearing Tang Fengxiao and Yang Tiansi’s words, Lu Hongda instinctively wanted to leave but found himself unable to move his feet. His greatest dream had always been to become the head of the Lu Family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to plot against Lu Tianzhan, luring him out of Beijing.

However, Lu Hongda never expected that after Lu Tianzhan’s death, Old Master Lu never appointed a successor. Instead, he chose a successor from the third generation, selecting Lu Haoyue, but he was helpless in the situation. He knew that if he showed eagerness to become the family head, people would suspect that Lu Tianzhan’s death had something to do with him.

So he’s been enduring, and this endurance has lasted for more than twenty years. In the end, he never thought that Lu Tianzhan’s son was still alive and returned to the Lu Family. On top of that, before Old Master Lu’s death, he possibly entrusted the Lu Family’s power to Lu Tianxing, making it difficult for him to swallow this grudge.

Yang Tiansi and Tang Fengxiao exchanged glances when they saw the uncertainty on Lu Hongda’s face, seeing the smiles in each other’s eyes.

Tang Fengxiao spoke again at this point, “Lu Hongda, they say a person who is not merciless cannot achieve great things. Usually, the position of the Lu Family head originally belonged to your lineage. Don’t forget, your father’s qualifications were far superior to Lu Tiankuang’s. But why did your father shield Lu Tiankuang from that fatal blow? Was he truly selfless? And why did your mother become melancholic and pass away shortly after your father’s death? Doesn’t all this seem too coincidental to you? Have you never doubted if there was something fishy about it?”

“Tang Fengxiao, what exactly do you mean by this?”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Hongda snapped back to reality, his voice particularly deep.

“Nothing much. I’m just telling you, to cooperate with us is merely to reclaim what’s rightfully yours. If you don’t cooperate with us, the outcome is predictable. Do you think you can hide the fact that you caused Lu Tianzhan’s death for long? If Lu Haoyue and others knew you’re the one who caused Lu Tianzhan’s death and have been coveting the position of family head, do you think the Lu Family would still have a place for you? Your father died for Lu Tiankuang, but in the end, he intended to pass the clan leader position to Lu Tianzhan, not you, and even after Lu Tianzhan’s death, he chose Lu Haoyue over you. Do you think any of this is fair? Can’t you swallow that indignation? Don’t you want to revenge against them and reclaim what’s yours…”
