Chapter 1986 - 1959: The Conspiracy Reemerges

Qiu Tianrui quickly and succinctly explained the whole sequence of events.

After speaking, Qiu Tianrui paused and continued, "And just this morning, a rumor spread across Qin Island that Wei Xu was killed by Mr. Lu, because of the incident at Taoyuan Restaurant last night where Wei Xu insulted Lingling, prompting you to kill Wei Xu."

"More importantly, in this rumor, it says that you’re the third young master of the Lu Family, Jiang Liufeng’s grandson, the true future heir of the Lu Family’s headship, and that Lu Haoyue is just a puppet pushed into the limelight by the Old Master of the Lu Family to confuse people. It also says you’re ambitious, wanting to restore the Lu Family’s past glory, even desiring all the families in China to obey the Lu Family. And this time by killing Wei Xu, you intended to warn all families that they should comply with your orders, or else Wei Xu’s fate would be theirs."

Listening to Qiu Tianrui’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face turned extremely grim. Tianrui’s remarks reminded him of his trip to Eagle Country, where similar tactics were used — first making him a target through rumors, then jointly using everyone’s power to deal with him. Regardless of whether he wanted to participate or not, he had no choice and no way to retreat; either die due to the rumors, or face them head-on, but either way, he would become a target.

"Do you know where these rumors originated from?" Lu Tianxing asked solemnly.

"We can’t find the source of the rumors yet, but it’s certain that someone is manipulating things behind the scenes."

Qiu Tianrui said seriously, "Mr. Lu, what should we do next? Should we wait and see, or act proactively?"

After hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, Lu Tianxing was silent for a moment and said, "Where are you now?"

"I’m at the Qiu Family Mansion, planning to go check out Wealth Garden."

Qiu Tianrui immediately said, "Mr. Lu, should I come to find you now?"

"No need. Let’s meet at Taoyuan Restaurant. I’ll head there now and wait for you."

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing suddenly seemed to remember something and said again, "Young Master Qiu, be careful when you go out. I’m worried they might target you as well, do you understand?"

"I understand, Mr. Lu. I’ll hang up now."

"Alright, see you later."

After saying this, Lu Tianxing hurriedly hung up the phone and strode toward the adjacent room to inform Bai Zhiqing and the others of his departure, so Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t worry.

At this moment, in the living room, Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and Rose were chatting idly. When they heard the door open and saw Lu Tianxing’s grim expression, all three women stood up from the sofa.

"Tianxing, what’s wrong? Weren’t you with Grandfather? Why does your face look so grim? Did something happen?" Bai Zhiqing asked promptly.

Lin Qianru and Rose didn’t speak, but their eyes showed they were also concerned about what happened to Lu Tianxing.

"Qiu Tianrui just called me. Wei Xu is dead, killed in his apartment last night. I need to go check it out."

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "Zhiqing, Qianru, Rose, the three of you should stay in the villa today and don’t leave easily, understand?"

"We understand."

The three women didn’t ask why, but directly nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."

"Yes, I’ll be careful."

After speaking, Lu Tianxing turned around and walked out.

Watching Lu Tianxing’s back, Rose frowned slightly. Wei Xu clashed with Lu Tianxing at Taoyuan Restaurant last night, and got found dead in his villa today — it seemed too coincidental.

After leaving the room, Lu Tianxing headed directly to the garage without any stops. Soon, a BMW Series 7 sped out, heading rapidly towards Taoyuan Restaurant.

At that moment, Lu Tianxing’s heart was filled with a heavy feeling, and a cold murderous intent lingered.

The enemy first plotted against him in Eagle Country. If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the man in black, he, Angel, and even Starving Ghost might have died in Eagle Country. Now a similar scenario unfolds again on Qin Island, causing an uncontrollable surge of murderous intent within Lu Tianxing. He wanted to see who was the mastermind behind these events, who was plotting against him.

Meanwhile, in another direction, after hanging up with Lu Tianxing, Qiu Tianrui didn’t linger in the Qiu Family Mansion either, walking straight out of it.

At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was already parked outside the mansion, alongside a man dressed like a driver.

Seeing Qiu Tianrui walk out of the villa, the driver immediately and respectfully opened the car door. After Qiu Tianrui got in, he shut the door and walked to the driver’s seat.

"To Taoyuan Restaurant."

Qiu Tianrui told the driver, then remained silent, pondering deeply about who was behind Wei Xu’s death.

As for suspecting it was Lu Tianxing’s doing, Qiu Tianrui hadn’t considered it. He’d interacted with Lu Tianxing many times and knew his character well. If Lu Tianxing had truly wanted to kill Wei Xu, Wei Xu couldn’t have walked out of Taoyuan Restaurant alive, let alone died in Wealth Garden leaving behind a corpse.

Furthermore, the entire Qin Island was buzzing with rumors of Lu Tianxing’s ambitious plan to restore the Lu Family’s glory, which was blatant provocation, to an extent that seemed almost deliberate. Lu Tianxing wasn’t foolish enough to do that.

But if this wasn’t Lu Tianxing’s handiwork, then who killed Wei Xu? Who spread the rumors on Qin Island, and who is the hidden third-party mastermind in Qin Island?

One thought after another emerged from Qiu Tianrui’s mind, rendering him unable to remain calm. He felt as though Qin Island was cloaked in an unseen dark cloud, with a pressing sense of impending doom looming over him.

The fact that they dared to so boldly scheme against Lu Tianxing despite knowing his identity demonstrated the vast power of this mastermind; otherwise, they wouldn’t have the audacity to plot against Lu Tianxing.

"I hope this won’t be too troublesome, otherwise it’ll be a real problem."

Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath, looking out the window, quietly lost in thought.
