Chapter 2001 - 1974: Digging a Trap
Lu Tianxing looked at Lingling, reached out and gently touched her head, and then said to Qiu Zhengfeng: "Elder Qiu, are you available right now? I have something to discuss with you."
After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng’s cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly stood up from the chair, nodding gently at Lu Tianxing.
Seeing this, Lu Tianxing handed Lingling over to Qiu Yingrong beside him and walked out of the ward with Qiu Zhengfeng.
After exiting the ward, Lu Tianxing immediately said, "Elder Qiu, I just received some news."
"What news?" Qiu Zhengfeng said in a hoarse voice.
"I just got the news, Wu Shaochang is dead, killed by an out-of-control truck at the traffic light intersection," Lu Tianxing said, looking at Qiu Zhengfeng.
"What did you say, Wu Shaochang is dead?"
Qiu Zhengfeng’s voice was filled with disbelief. Since he received the last call, he turned off his phone to avoid disturbing Qiu Tianrui’s rest, having no idea about the calls from the Qiu family’s intelligence personnel.
Looking at Qiu Zhengfeng’s incredulous expression, Lu Tianxing wasn’t surprised at all.
"Yes, Wu Shaochang is dead. Apparently, he was directly hit by an out-of-control truck, and the truck driver committed suicide," Lu Tianxing said slowly. "Moreover, I’ve also learned that Wu Shaochang belonged to the Qingtian Alliance."
"Someone from the Qingtian Alliance?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a light immediately flashed in Qiu Zhengfeng’s mind. "Mr. Lu, do you mean that the person who plotted these events and tried to assassinate my grandson might be from the Qingtian Alliance?"
"Correct, but I’m not entirely sure."
Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "However, since the opponent has planned this, they will definitely carry out the plan to the end..."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng trembled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of grim killing intent as he said, "Mr. Lu, do you mean they will continue to target Tianrui?"
"Yes."
Lu Tianxing nodded heavily and said, "Not only that, but now even Miss Qiu and Lingling are in their calculations. After all, in their plan, if Young Master Qiu doesn’t die, Elder Qiu, you won’t go mad, but if Young Master Qiu dies, Elder Qiu, you might go mad, and if Miss Qiu and Lingling are killed, and they use them to threaten Elder Qiu, to have you go against me, Elder Qiu, what would you choose then!"
Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng’s face turned extremely ugly. How to choose was clear; it would mean tearing apart the relationship with Lu Tianxing. If Qiu Tianrui died, Qiu Yingrong and Lingling would be Qiu family’s only blood relatives. If something happened to them, the Qiu family would face extinction, which he absolutely did not want to see.
If the Qiu family and Lu Tianxing really clashed, then the Qiu family would become a pawn manipulated by the opponent.
"Mr. Lu, I know you have great capabilities. Please save Tianrui and save Yingrong and Lingling, the mother and daughter," Qiu Zhengfeng took a deep breath, pleading, "No matter what you want, I’ll agree to it, even if it means handing over everything of the Qiu family."
"Elder Qiu, you’re too kind."
Lu Tianxing stated emphatically, "I called you out to discuss this matter. However, to eradicate future problems, I hope Elder Qiu can cooperate with certain matters."
"Mr. Lu, how do you need me to cooperate?" Qiu Zhengfeng said without any hesitation.
"Since the opponent failed to kill Young Master Qiu once, they’ll definitely try a second time. The longer this drags on, the greater the risk. If these people want to execute the plan perfectly, they will act against Young Master Qiu, Miss Qiu, and Lingling as soon as possible."
Pausing here, Lu Tianxing continued, "So we can turn their plan against them, forcing them out of hiding."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, do you have a specific plan?"
"Plan!"
Lu Tianxing, hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, took a deep breath and said, "Of course there’s a plan, but it requires your cooperation, Elder Qiu."
He then walked over to Qiu Zhengfeng and whispered something in his ear.
Moments later, Lu Tianxing revealed his plan to Qiu Zhengfeng.
"Elder Qiu, this is my plan."
Lu Tianxing looked at Qiu Zhengfeng and said, "Although the plan seems risky, you must admit it’s quite suitable for drawing out our enemies. But, Elder Qiu, if you believe it’s too risky, we can try another approach."
Listening to Lu Tianxing, Qiu Zhengfeng took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Lu Tianxing as if trying to see through him.
After a long while, Qiu Zhengfeng slowly exhaled and said, "Mr. Lu, are you really confident?"
"Of course."
Lu Tianxing nodded seriously and said, "As long as the opponent doesn’t send Late Stage of Mythical experts, I can assure you, whether it’s Miss Qiu’s safety or Young Master Qiu’s safety, I can guarantee it."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing again, Qiu Zhengfeng’s expression fluctuated between gloomy and doubtful, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine, let’s do as Mr. Lu suggested."
Once his words fell, Qiu Zhengfeng’s eyes gleamed with icy killing intent. Anyone who dares to target his grandchildren will pay a heavy price.
"Okay, Elder Qiu, let’s proceed as we discussed."
Lu Tianxing’s voice suddenly became serious, "However, this matter must remain confidential and cannot be leaked to anyone."
"I understand."
Qiu Zhengfeng nodded heavily, "Only heaven, earth, you, and I know about this matter. No third person will know."
Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "Elder Qiu, I hope you’ll keep your word. If the information is leaked, I can’t promise the safety of Young Master Qiu or Miss Qiu. Do you understand?"
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Lu, rest assured, I, Qiu Zhengfeng, will never gamble with my family’s lives."
