Chapter 48 (1/2)

However, Lu Xuan quickly reeled in his emotions. No matter how powerful Yan Han and the Taichu Path were, they would not be reappearing in the near future, and he had sufficient time to make himself more powerful.

In his past life, he was able to kill Yan Han. In this life, he was more prepared, and his strength would also be greater. It went without saying that he would be able to kill this major enemy from his past life.

The most pressing issue at the moment was how to deal with the Luo family, who would retaliate soon, and Luo Ying, who was tracking him down.

“I didn’t want to get involved in a mess with the Luo family so soon, but it seems like it’s my destiny in the end!”

A cold light burst out from Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“It’s about time to sever this bond of enmity that has entangled us over two different lives!”

The best defense was a good offense, and he who took the initiative would gain the upper hand.

“Hey, son, you’re not listening to me, are you?!” Over the phone, Liu Wanrong noticed that Lu Xuan had not spoken for a while.

“Oh, it’s nothing, Mom. That Luo Ying actually is one of my ‘friends,’ but our relationship is not like what you are thinking, so don’t overthink it!”

Lu Xuan laughed. Regardless of what he was scheming inside, he maintained a carefree outer façade.

“Right, I’m starting to miss you guys. I haven’t seen the both of you since I graduated. I’ll go buy a ticket later to visit you!”

Lu Xuan suppressed the strong emotions welling up inside him. The time since he last saw his parents was not as short as after his graduation; he had not seen in an entire lifetime.

“That’s fine, come home if you want to. I’ll go clean up a room, so you have somewhere to stay when you come later. Also, what would you like for supper? Mom will prepare it for you!” Although Liu Wanrong sensed he was acting strangely, she still immediately went along with it.

“Make whatever you want. Everything you make is delicious!” Lu Xuan answered.

“I know, right? I always say that your mother’s cooking can be compared to what those head chefs in hotels make, but your balding father doesn’t know how to appreciate it at all!” Over the phone, Liu Wanrong exclaimed excitedly, “Then I’ll be waiting for you. Give us a call when you arrive, and I’ll get dad to pick you up!”

“It’s alright, mom, I’ll just take a taxi over!” Lu Xuan replied.

Thinking about his home in Xia City, it had indeed been a long time since he went back. Although his family was from Fu City, because of his father’s job transfer, they moved to Xia City a long time ago.

Afterward, Lu Xuan got into a university in Fu City, which is why he split from his parents and returned to live alone.

“Okay, then I’ll hang up first!” Liu Wanrong said.

Putting down the phone, Lu Xuan had a frigid look in his eyes, as he shouted for Square-faced Fatso to come over.

“Mister Lu, what are your orders?”

When he was summoned, Square-faced Fatso practically dropped everything he was doing and rushed over obediently.

Lu Xuan said to him, “Previously, when your Chief invited me to join the Agency of Special Affairs as a consultant, he said that he would send experts to protect my family, didn’t he!”

Square-faced Fatso mulled over it. Such an offer did exist, and in truth, it was extended not only to Lu Xuan but to all the higher-ups in the organization.

After all, they were risking life and limb for their country, so if their families were also being threatened, that would simply be unreasonable.

“I want you all to send men to protect my family right now. I will give you the address later, so put men on a 24-hour guard duty rotation at once with no breaks in between!” Lu Xuan demanded.

“That’s fine, not a problem!” Square-faced Fatso quickly replied. Lu Xuan had just joined the force, and he had already captured a martial arts legend for the Agency of Special Affairs. With such a huge accomplishment under his belt, fulfilling his request was a small matter.

“Right, I’d also like you to keep tabs on someone’s whereabouts for me. Can you do that?” Lu Xuan continued.

“Who is it?” Square-faced Fatso wiped the smile off his face as he realized that there was something amiss here.

Judging by Lu Xuan’s expression, it seemed like the situation was serious. He had never seen Lu Xuan with such a look on his face before.

All the while, his impression of Lu Xuan was that he was relaxed and calm, able to easily take care of any kind of enemy.
