Chapter 1998 - 1971: News from Rose

In an instant, the whole of China was gripped with fear. When the Lu Family fell from grace back then, countless families wanted to take advantage of the situation to annex them, let alone when the Lu Family rose again. Many had stood against Lu Tianxing. Now, just because Wu Shaochang had a good relationship with Wei Xu, Lu Tianxing killed him. Doesn’t that mean Lu Tianxing won’t spare them either?

Immediately, China was once again thrown into turmoil.

At this moment, in the hospital, Lu Tianxing received the news from Sima Lingyun about Wu Shaochang’s death. He sat on a chair outside the ward, his face extremely grim, his mind racing with thoughts. Who was behind all this, planning these killings? First Wei Xu, then Qiu Tianrui, and now Wu Shaochang. Who was orchestrating this scheme?

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, sensing a huge conspiracy brewing around him. The vortex of this plot seemed to grow more terrifying with time.

Who was plotting in the shadows? Was it the Yang Family, or perhaps the Tang Family, or the Heavenly God?

Lu Tianxing wasn’t sure; he couldn’t guess. But he knew that the person scheming behind the scenes was fearsome and deeply understood human psychology, manipulating everyone to their whim. This person had everyone’s reactions under control, making them cry or laugh at will.

Lu Tianxing sat on the hallway chair, a cigarette between his fingers, yet he didn’t take a puff, instead, falling into deep thought.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing looked extremely troubled. The series of attacks gave him a sense of impending doom. If the antagonist succeeded, he might indeed meet a miserable end. Even if he survived, the price he’d pay might be unbearable.

While Lu Tianxing was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang with a melodious tone from his pocket.

Hearing the ringtone, Lu Tianxing immediately took out his phone. Seeing the caller ID, he answered without hesitation.

Before Lu Tianxing could speak, Rose’s voice came from the other end: "Little man, I just got some news. Wu Shaochang is dead, hit by a large truck, and the truck driver committed suicide inside. There are also rumors..."

"Rose, Sima Lingyun has already told me about this,"

Lu Tianxing interrupted Rose, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and inhaled deeply, exhaling slowly, his face shrouded in smoke, looking exceptionally somber.

"Rose, what do you think about this?"

"I have only one perspective: the opposing party hates you exceedingly, so much so that they wouldn’t rest until you’re destroyed. Otherwise, they wouldn’t take such risks, as they would also face severe consequences if the plan failed. Only a lunatic or someone who harbors a deep-seated grudge would do this,"

Rose exhaled slowly and continued: "Little man, the danger you’re facing now is not less than the peril you encountered in Eagle Country. Moreover, this time Sima Lingyun basically can’t intervene. You must resolve this matter quickly; otherwise, if the enemy’s plan succeeds, you’ll be stuck in this quagmire with no way out."

"Besides, I suspect Wu Shaochang might know something."

Lu Tianxing asked with confusion after hearing Rose’s insight, "Are you suggesting Wu Shaoshichang was part of the conspiracy?"

"Correct."

Rose stated emphatically, "Even if Wu Shaosha isn’t the mastermind, he must know who is behind this. Additionally, I have another piece of important news that you might find intriguing."

"What news?"

"According to our investigation, the Wu Family, behind Wu Shaochang, secretly joined the Qingtian Alliance and became one of its members."

"Are you saying it’s the Qingtian Alliance targeting me this time?"

Speaking, a cold glint flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. He knew the Wu Family in Beijing, a second-rate family, with the current Family Head being Wu Shaochang’s father, Wu Daoguang, a middle-stage mythical master, one of the more prominent families among second-rate circles in Beijing.

If the Wu Family indeed knew something, he wouldn’t mind visiting them personally to uncover the real mastermind.

"I’m not certain about that."

Rose shook her head gently and said, "Although I found out that the Wu Family joined the Qingtian Alliance, it doesn’t eliminate the possibility that someone might have secretly bribed the Qingtian Alliance’s members, plotting all this to provoke a conflict between you and the Qingtian Alliance, while they reap benefits from the shadows. That’s a conceivable possibility."

Lu Tianxing, hearing Rose’s reasoning, fell silent, contemplating. What Rose said made sense; the Qingtian Alliance was indeed expanding aggressively in Beijing, and it seemed they were targeting him. Their plot against him was plausible, especially since Wu Shaochang was part of the Qingtian Alliance, making it likely for him to perceive this as their handiwork.

However, if the Qingtian Alliance were indeed behind the plot, the mastermind wouldn’t be so foolish as to blatantly reveal Wu Shaochang’s connection to it. It’s like directly announcing their responsibility for these actions to others.

Yet, if it wasn’t the Qingtian Alliance, then who was orchestrating this plan in the shadows, with the capability to carry it out?

This thought left Lu Tianxing with a headache. He had many enemies, and pinpointing who among them was behind the scenes seemed nearly impossible.

Adversaries hide in the dark while he stands in the open, as a sitting duck while his enemies remain concealed, aiming their guns at him, ready to strike at any moment.

"Little man, don’t fret too much. I’ll have the Yama Palace keep a close watch on the Qingtian Alliance. If they are involved, they’ll slip up eventually."

Rose stated emphatically: "Once they reveal a flaw, it will be our time to strike. When the Qingtian Alliance falls, the true mastermind will be forced to act."
