Chapter 587 - Unraveling Secrets (II) (1/2)
Old Lu frowned, ”Aren't you able to follow them?”
”We did. These cars both entered the capital. However, my men lost them in the capital. But I think that this is enough for us to know that the Qian family is alive and well. What's more, they have put people in the capital. Near you.”
Old Lu still wore a deep frown on his wrinkled face as he fell into deep thoughts.
Mistress Tang observed him for a while. Then she sighed. ”Don't stress yourself too much. You had just recently collapsed.”
”That is already a week ago. It was only because I can't stomach that bastard's face that I fainted.”
Mistress Tang reached for her cup of tea. ”Show some restraint, old man. It's because you lost your temper in front of everyone that I became the subject of those nasty rumors.”
Old Lu softened his expression. ”Pardon me. That bastard now knows that we are colluding against him. Considering that he did not bother to hide his rudeness to you that day, he will definitely come up of ways to deal with you.”
Mistress Tang waved her hand. ”Ming Zhi Yi? I am not afraid of him. It is true that my men is lacking compared to his ability in martial arts. Even your eldest grandson is following his footsteps. However, I am not afraid of the power backing him.”
Old Lu felt moved by Mistress Tang's words. ”I will make sure that the Lu family will repay this debt.”
”No need. There's something else I want to know.”
”What is it?”
”How is the Qian family related to all these things? Just your assumption? You haven't answered any of my questions regarding this family before.”
Old Lu stilled.
The Qian family...
The elder closed his eyes tiredly. ”You might call me paranoid, but lately, I've been having dreams about that family...”
”No wonder. You caused their destruction, so it is normal that you will be haunted by their memories. It means you are getting old,” Mistress Tang said.
Old Lu's serious expression remained the same.
Mistress Tang sighed. ”You are being ridiculous. Do you really think that that family is in cahoots with Ming Zhi Yi? What power or possible advantage can they offer to him to bring you down?”
Old Lu shook his head. ”The Qian family was once a family that could almost stand together with us in the past. Perhaps, they have some other means. I have investigated Ming Zhi Yi before, and he is from a humble background. No matter how many years he worked, he cannot possibly gather that much resources and power in just over a decade. How can he easily become a King without a powerful background? And now, he even possess the ability to swallow IAmFashionista. This is something a person cannot just do alone in this limited amount of time.”
Mistress Tang was silent.
Old Lu has a point.
But they could not find any connection at all pointing to the Qian family approaching Ming Zhi Yi.
”You are being biased. Why do you think that it is the Qian family of all people who is helping Ming Zhi Yi?”
Old Lu turned silent.
...How could he say it?
Whenever he met Ming Zhi Yi, especially in their most recent meeting, he could clearly feel Ming Zhi Yi's palpable bloodl.u.s.t and hatred through that fake smile.
There was an uncanny feeling that he had faced this aura of hatred before.
The same feeling of overwhelming hatred that left with the greatest impression was more than forty years ago.
It was in an incident that he could never forget.
