Free Web NovelChapter 2052: Chapter 2025: The Lu Family’s Reaction
Walking to the side, Lu Tianxing did not hesitate and immediately answered the phone.
As soon as the call connected, a lively and energetic, yet slightly displeased voice came from the other end.
"Lu, you heartless bastard, you jerk who wipes your mouth clean and doesn’t admit it, you came to Beijing and dared not to contact me. Tell me, do you want to abandon me, or do you want me to come looking for you with a big belly?"
Lu Tianxing’s face instantly turned black. It had been a while since he last saw Xue Bing, the fiery policewoman, yet she hadn’t changed, except her temper had become even more fierce.
Lu Tianxing let out a deep sigh, "When did I wipe my mouth clean? I just got to Beijing."
"Yeah right, just arrived in Beijing, do you really think I’m an idiot?"
Xue Bing said with a disgruntled face, "Just got to Beijing, and you went to eat with Lin Demon, you bastard. You came to Beijing and didn’t tell me, but you told Lin Demon. Do you think I’m not as attractive as Lin Demon, or that I’m not as well-endowed as her, or that she’s better in bed, so you think I’m not worthy of picking you up, afraid I’d embarrass you?"
Lu Tianxing replied helplessly, "You know I never meant that."
"Humph."
Xue Bing knew when to stop and didn’t press further, instead, she directly changed the subject, asking, "Tell me, where are you now?"
"Don’t you already know? I’m having a meal, after which I’ll head back to Lin Demon’s villa."
"I got it, remember, when you get to Lin Demon’s villa later, stay there obediently. I’ll come over to find you."
With that, Xue Bing hung up the phone in a hurry, not giving Lu Tianxing a chance to speak. He could only shake his head helplessly, put the phone into his pocket, and turn back to the dining table.
...
Jiangnan Lu Family.
Ever since Lu Haoyue returned from Beijing to the Lu Family some time ago, the Lu Family had been very peaceful, with no disturbances at all. Even when Lu Tianxing went to Eagle Country, there were no ripples, as if Lu Tianxing’s life or death had nothing to do with the Lu Family.
In the Lu Family Mansion, the wind blew, rustling through the bamboo forest, while the fish in the pond occasionally leaped out, demonstrating their vitality.
Old Master Lu stood by the pond, holding fish food, occasionally sprinkling it into the pond, causing the fish to swim back and forth, creating splashes that stirred the once still surface into gentle ripples.
Beside Old Master Lu, Lu Haoyue stood respectfully without saying a word, quietly watching the fish in the water.
Time passed by, and Old Master Lu seemed unaware of Lu Haoyue’s presence beside him, seriously feeding the koi in the pond, as if wanting every fish to be fully fed.
After some time, Old Master Lu slowly turned around, setting his gaze on Lu Haoyue.
Lu Haoyue quickly stepped forward, took the fish food from Old Master Lu, and followed him toward the room not far away.
Upon entering the living room, Old Master Lu directly sat on the sofa, glanced at Lu Haoyue, who appeared somewhat uneasy, and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down. You are the head of the Lu Family, nothing to be so restrained about, just sit!"
Upon hearing Old Master Lu, Lu Haoyue sat opposite him without hesitation, though his expression still carried a hint of restraint and unease.
Seeing this, Old Master Lu sighed helplessly and said, "Haoyue, did you come to me today because of something about Tianxing?"
"Yes."
Lu Haoyue nodded slightly, "I just got news that after leaving Qin Island, cousin didn’t return to Modu, but went to Beijing."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s name, Old Master Lu frowned slightly, "You said Tianxing went to Beijing, what exactly is going on."
"I’m not clear for now, but based on some information, it’s highly likely that cousin’s appearance in Beijing with his sister-in-law is related to the incident on Qin Island a while back."
Looking at Old Master Lu, Lu Haoyue said, "Grandfather, should I call him now to find out what’s going on?"
"No need,"
Old Master Lu waved his hand gently, "Since Tianxing dared to appear in Beijing, it means he has enough confidence to come and go safely, not to mention appearing with Zhiqing, which means he’s completely confident. So there’s nothing to worry about."
After hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue fell silent briefly, then nodded. Indeed, he had never seen Lu Tianxing fight an unprepared battle, let alone take Bai Zhiqing to Beijing recklessly. Lu Tianxing dared to do so, which meant he could ensure Bai Zhiqing’s safety and wasn’t afraid of anyone using any means to threaten her.
"Grandfather, besides cousin’s issue, there’s another matter I want to discuss with you," Lu Haoyue said, looking at Old Master Lu.
"Another matter?"
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Haoyue and said solemnly, "Haoyue, are you talking about what Rose mentioned to you a while back?"
"Yes!"
Lu Haoyue nodded, "Now that cousin is in Beijing, the Tang Family won’t miss this opportunity. We can choose to act during this period, not only to give the Tang Family a lifelong lesson but also to relieve some pressure off cousin, making the Tang Family hesitate to send people to Beijing recklessly."
Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s suggestion, Old Master Lu didn’t speak immediately but fell into deep thought. Recently, the Lu Family had also been secretly gathering information about the Tang Family and had obtained a lot of details from Jiang Liufeng, discovering that the mastermind behind the Qingtian Alliance was none other than the Tang Family’s Young Master, Tang Qingyun.
If they moved against the Tang Family now, it could indeed pin them down, preventing them from focusing on the situation in Beijing, thus reducing many potential threats for Lu Tianxing there.
Old Master Lu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said solemnly, "Are you confident?"
"Yes,"
Lu Haoyue nodded firmly, his voice full of confidence, "As long as the Tang Family doesn’t send real experts, I am confident in wiping out these forces."
