Chapter 1422: Chapter 1415: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yafei’s brows slightly furrowed, and she said in a deep voice, ”Tianxing, do you think the Zhou Family is reliable? After all, given the current situation you’re facing, anyone with sense can see that following you means a high probability of a grim end. Can the Zhou Family be that foolish?”

”Heh, Lin Demon, I know what you’re worried about. But for the Zhou Family, they have no other choice—either they follow me into the abyss, or they wait for those families to destroy the Lu Family, and then come for the Zhou Family. The notion of two exceptional talents in one family is a hundred percent intimidating for any family.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing, Lin Yafei frowned even deeper and spoke, ”According to what you say, if these families target the Lu Family this time, they will likely annihilate the Lu Family completely?”

”This is not a ’what if,’ it’s certain that the Lu Family will be eradicated, no one left behind. Furthermore, these families will spare no effort to wipe out any families associated with the Lu Family in the near future. The intimidation of the Lu Family’s exceptional talents is truly immense for them. If these talents were to grow, the consequences would be unthinkable. So, regardless of how many exceptional talents the Lu Family has, these families likely won’t trust that; they would look for every method to eliminate potential threats, and the way to do that is to uproot the problem completely.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yafei, then spoke slowly, ”If my estimation is correct, they will undoubtedly deploy significant resources to deal with the Lu Family this time, striving to capture the Lu Family completely. On the day of the old man’s funeral, it will definitely be a fierce battle. Therefore, Lin Demon, tomorrow you should take Bai Zhiqing and Manman back; I’ll remain here in Jiangnan alone.”

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yafei hesitated slightly and said, ”Returning tomorrow with Manman is not a problem, since I need to handle business matters, but as for Zhiqing, I feel it’s better she stays by your side.”

Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned: ”Why?”

”Tianxing, think about it carefully. The old man isn’t actually dead; he’s just feigning death. Logically speaking, Bai Zhiqing as the granddaughter-in-law should definitely attend the old man’s funeral. Even if the Lu Family doesn’t favor you much, they wouldn’t kick you out at such a time. If Bai Zhiqing chooses to leave Jiangnan at this moment, there’s no guarantee that someone wouldn’t suspect the old man is feigning death, considering that there are many clever individuals. This would be extremely unfavorable for us.”

Lin Yafei looked at Lu Tianxing and said solemnly, ”More importantly, if Zhiqing leaves Jiangnan, the danger she’ll encounter will undoubtedly be much greater than if she stays by your side. Everyone knows Zhiqing is your wife, and they are aware of your abilities. Compared to targeting you, don’t you think targeting Zhiqing would be easier? If they capture Zhiqing, they can threaten you, and the risk involved is minimal. Why wouldn’t they do it? If it comes to that, who among us can stop them?”

”Therefore, if you want Zhiqing to be safer, the best approach is to keep her by your side. Manman and I will return home, and you needn’t worry about unexpected attacks in the coming days. The recent assault on you has already greatly agitated the Yanhuang Group’s nerves, and Sima Lingyun is in a complete state of rage. If, at this time, Yang Tiansi and others dare make a move against you recklessly, they’d be signing their own death warrants; the Yanhuang Group will tear them apart before we even lift a finger. Plus, the incident at Guanqian Street today has significantly enhanced your intimidation, causing several families to retract their claws. Therefore, for you and Zhiqing, the next few days will certainly be safe, safer than accompanying us back.”

After Lin Yafei finished speaking, Lu Tianxing did not immediately respond but instead bowed his head in deep thought.

Reflecting now, Lin Yafei’s words were indeed correct. His weakness is Bai Zhiqing and others. If Bai Zhiqing leaves him, those people will surely devise methods to capture Bai Zhiqing to threaten him, at which point the crisis Bai Zhiqing faces will be much greater than staying by his side. Some may even directly kill Bai Zhiqing for revenge. Again and again, how many times can Bai Zhiqing withstand?

Staying by his side, while the danger is inevitable, his strength is there for all to see. Coupled with the Zhou Family and Han Zifeng’s Hidden Guards secretly protecting, in the short term, no one can harm Bai Zhiqing. If he genuinely intends to escape with Bai Zhiqing, these people can’t stop him either. If Bai Zhiqing returns to Bai’s Group, that might be the most dangerous time.

”You’re right; in that case, tomorrow you and Manman will return, while Zhiqing and I will stay in Jiangnan.”

Lu Tianxing finally nodded, turning to Lin Yafei, ”By the way, did you post some videos about the Jiang Family online today?”

”You know?”

Lin Yafei looked somewhat surprised at Lu Tianxing.

”Yes, it was Old Master Zhou who called and told me.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Yafei and asked, ”How is the situation now?”

”Everything is under control.”

Lin Yafei’s lips curled into a confident smile, speaking slowly, ”However, this time it seems the Yang Family and the Jiang Family have indeed allied. After we attacked Jiang’s Feng Group, during a short period, Yang’s Dingtian Group also got involved, yet the Tang Family has remained silent.”

”The Tang Family is hiding in Shu, and their influence in business can be ignored. If they were involved, they’d become little shrimps to be devoured. However, you should be a bit cautious; while the Jiang and Yang Families’ main forces are tied up in Jiangnan, if their commercial interests are disturbed, there’s no guaranteeing they won’t act out of desperation. In this period, it’s best to strengthen defenses at Bai’s Group. I’ll have Fu Tu and Tie Niu stay around Bai’s Group for this period, and to be safe, I’ll give you a phone number. You can call them and say I told them to come over. With their presence, unless top-tier old-generation experts intervene, no one can harm you.”

”There’s no problem.”

Lin Yafei nodded her head and was just about to speak when suddenly, the melodious ringtone of Lu Tianxing’s phone echoed from his pocket.

Upon hearing the ringtone, Lu Tianxing hesitated slightly, gave Lin Yafei an apologetic smile, then took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and without any hesitation, answered the call.

”Third Young Master.”

Old Master Zhou’s voice immediately came through the call.

Upon hearing that voice, Lu Tianxing asked immediately, ”Old Master Zhou, how did it go? Did you learn anything?”

”We did, Third Young Master. The one planning the attack against you has been found; it is Yang Tiansi from the Yang Family. The plan was to kidnap Miss Bai and use her to threaten you. Apart from the Yang Family, it seems the Jiang Family is also involved, but the Tang Family hasn’t appeared.”

Upon hearing Old Master Zhou’s words, Lu Tianxing’s gaze turned cold instantly. The Jiang Family and the Yang Family really think he is made of mud? It seems tonight he needs to go on a rampage.

”Do you know where Yang Tiansi is right now?” Lu Tianxing asked in a deep voice, his tone laced with unapologetic killing intent.

”Unclear.”

Old Master Zhou’s voice came again, ”No matter how we interrogated, he wouldn’t reveal Yang Tiansi’s location. He claimed they always contacted via phone and didn’t know where Yang Tiansi is currently hiding in Suzhou. Additionally, the Jiang Family Mansion was emptied this afternoon, besides a few servants, Jiang Hongsheng’s entire family disappeared without a trace. I’ve checked all surveillance but cannot find any trace of Jiang Hongsheng.”

”All gone?”

Lu Tianxing’s brow furrowed, but quickly relaxed again. Jiang Haochen and Jiang Hongsheng are no fools; otherwise, the Jiang Family would not stand in Jiangnan for so many years. Knowing surely he would retaliate, staying at the Jiang Family Mansion at this time is akin to courting death. If it were him, he would certainly hide as well.

”Old Master Zhou, I’m aware of this matter now, thank you.”

”Third Young Master, you’re too polite. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. In this period, I’ll have the Zhou Family investigate Jiang Hongsheng and Yang Tiansi’s whereabouts.”

”Thank you, Old Master Zhou.”

Saying that, Lu Tianxing hung up the call.

Seeing this, Lin Yafei looked at Lu Tianxing and asked, ”How was it? Did the Yang Family do the thing at Guanqian Street?”

”Indeed, they did it.”

Lu Tianxing pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring as he spoke, ”But, they’re hiding well. The Zhou Family can’t find their trail at the moment.”

”Can’t find?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yafei’s beautiful brow furrowed slightly, looking at Lu Tianxing, she said, ”That’s not a good sign for us; silence always precedes the storm. If they’re not surfacing, they’re surely plotting a deadly attack.”

”A deadly attack, just with them? If they don’t appear this time, fine. When they do, we’ll capture them in one fell swoop, leaving them utterly destroyed.”

In Lu Tianxing’s eyes flickered the cold light, with killing intent unrestrained within those eyes. He was never a saint who turned the other cheek after being slapped. Yang Tiansi’s actions today completely triggered the killing intent within him, and this time, he would make Jiangnan Yang Tiansi’s burial ground, severing all the claws the Yang Family extended, leaving none behind.
