Chapter 1997 - 1970: Wu Shaochang Dies
"Of course."
After hearing Tang Da’s words, Zhang Yue calmly spoke: "Already, many families are trembling in fear. Back on the Tianbao ship, Wu Shaochang and Wei Xu had interacted. After you kill Wu Shaochang later, spread the news saying that Lu Tianxing has started to officially cleanse all those who have wronged him in the past. Wu Shaochang and Wei Xu interacted before, which makes them his enemies. By then, those families wary of the Lu Family will have to band together to avoid retaliation. And within this group, there must be a center, which is the Qingtian Alliance. One family banding together is not frightening, but when ten, twenty, or thirty aristocratic families unite, that force will be enough to crush the Lu Family, to grind Lu Tianxing to dust. Do you understand?"
This was Zhang Yue’s true plan, a real scheme. There are many powerful families in China; even though their strengths vary, if all these forces are twisted together like a rope, it would be an overwhelmingly suffocating force.
Even if Lu Tianxing has the support of the Lu Family, Angel, or Jiang Liufeng, Lu Tianxing would be doomed by then. Even if the Yanhuang Group intervened, they couldn’t save Lu Tianxing. After all, the law does not punish the masses. Although the Yanhuang Group is China’s sharp blade, it doesn’t dare uproot all the noble families in China, or the whole country would fall into chaos.
Upon hearing Zhang Yue’s words again, Tang Da’s eyes flickered, and he nodded, agreeing to Zhang Yue’s plan.
"I understand, I will arrange it."
With that, Tang Da said no more, turned around, and walked out.
Watching Tang Da’s back, Zhang Yue picked up the mask again, slowly putting it over his face. Then he slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the scenery, murmuring to himself: "Yaoyang, I have returned to Qin Island. This time, watch carefully! I will avenge you, make Lu Tianxing your burial companion. No, I want more than Lu Tianxing’s death; I want everyone around him to go to hell. I want the Lu Family to be obliterated, and I will use their blood to honor your spirit in heaven, Yaoyang. Watch, that day is not far off. After I avenge you, I’ll come find you, and then we’ll walk across Naihe Bridge together as a couple..."
Zhang Yue’s voice, filled with coldness, cruelty, and murderous intent, echoed in the booth, seemingly dropping the room’s temperature to freezing in an instant.
...
Meanwhile, in another direction, after leaving the booth, Wu Shaochang went straight downstairs, walked into the underground parking lot, and drove away from the private club.
Driving on the road, Wu Shaochang’s mind was racing with thoughts, constantly guessing the identity of the woman from the club, who could be dispatched by the people behind the Qingtian Alliance to Qin Island specifically to deal with Lu Tianxing. What kind of identity could make her entrusted with such an important task?
Moreover, although he had never seen the woman’s true face from beginning to end, for some reason, he felt as though he had heard the woman’s voice somewhere before, a vague sense of familiarity he couldn’t shake off but couldn’t pinpoint. Furthermore, he could tell from the woman’s voice that she harbored great hatred for Lu Tianxing, as if wishing to grind his bones to dust and devour him whole.
While Wu Shaochang was daydreaming, the car had slowly driven to an intersection at a traffic light. Seeing the green light above, Wu Shaochang did not slow down and drove straight through, planning to pass the intersection.
Just then, a loud roar sounded—a large heavy truck ignoring the red light crashed from another direction, heedless of the vehicles urgently dodging it, without slowing down at all, but rather sped up.
Hearing the roar of the truck, seeing the massive vehicle ramming straight toward his car, Wu Shaochang’s face turned unusually grim. Cold sweat broke out all over his body, wanting to dodge, but inside the car, there was nowhere to escape.
In his terror, a thought suddenly flashed through Wu Shaochang’s mind. Someone wanted to kill him. But who could it be?
"Bang!"
In almost an instant, the heavy truck heavily collided with Wu Shaochang’s car. The huge impact forcefully pushed Wu Shaochang’s car forward, crashing hard.
"Bang!"
Three seconds later, Wu Shaochang’s car was pressed against the wall by the heavy truck. The once solid vehicle frame was now crushed like tofu, compacted into a metal disc. Seated in the driver’s seat, Wu Shaochang’s body twisted to the extreme, large amounts of blood spurting from his mouth, clearly not going to survive.
In his dying moments, Wu Shaochang fought to turn his head, wanting to see clearly who wanted to kill him. But he could never make out the person’s face, only seeing them staring coldly at him with the same indifferent eyes as the man who killed Wei Xu, no different at all.
Meanwhile, while the whole intersection was in panic due to the sudden car accident, a man with glasses stood across the street, watching the scene unfold, a mocking smile playing on his lips. Then, he pulled out a cellphone and dialed a number: "The job’s done, Wu Shaochang is dead. Also, I’ve arranged for the person who killed him to commit suicide afterward, no loopholes."
After saying this, the man in glasses hung up, not lingering further, turning and walking away.
...
Time ticked by, and with the arrival of the hearse to take Wu Shaochang’s body away, the news of Wu Shaochang’s death at a traffic light spread like wildfire across Qin Island and then throughout China.
Moreover, alongside Wu Shaochang’s death, another piece of news spread—that Wu Shaochang died at the hands of Lu Tianxing, that the so-called car accident was a scheme orchestrated by Lu Tianxing himself, aiming to kill Wu Shaochang because he had once been close to Wei Xu on the Tianbao ship.
As this news mingled with the fact of Wu Shaochang’s death, it stirred the whole of China into a boiling pot, instantly boiling over.
First, Wei Xu was killed in a villa, then Qiu Tianrui was assassinated and now whether dead or alive is uncertain, followed by Wu Shaochang’s death in a car accident. Could all this really just be a coincidence?
Or is Lu Tianxing truly planning to eliminate dissidents, intending to subdue all of China’s families to restore the Lu Family’s glory, using these deaths as a warning?
