“You have no choice but to believe me, Lu Hongda. Without my help, you will never gain the position of the Lu Family’s head in this lifetime, do you believe me?”

“Moreover, you’re well aware of the situation the Lu Family faces now. To put it bluntly, without Lu Tiankuang, the Lu Family is at most a second-rate family in Jiangnan. You cannot guarantee whether the Lu Family will be destroyed. Lu Hongda, I’m here today because we have a common enemy. If you agree to cooperate with me, I guarantee you will be the future Head of the Lu Family.”

“Hehe, Young Master Yang, you’ve gone through a lot of trouble to tell me all this. I suspect it’s not just to help me become the Lu Family head, is it?” Lu Hongda managed to keep his expression unchanged.

“Of course not. I want half of the Lu Family’s assets, including the lives of Lu Haoyue, Lu Tianxing, and the body of Lu Tiankuang. I want to take his body to pay tribute to the spirit of my ancestor Yang Shenxing.”

“You want to take my father’s body back to the Tang Family? That’s impossible,” Lu Hongda refused outright, without a second thought. If Yang Tiansi took Old Master Lu’s body, the Lu Family would become a complete joke in China.

“Nothing is impossible, Lu Hongda. You have no choice. There are only two paths before you. First, cooperate with us, and we’ll support you to become the Lu Family head. Second, I’ll tell Lu Tianxing about how you betrayed Lu Tianzhan. Do you think he would spare you?”

At this moment, an extremely sinister voice echoed in the room, and a middle-aged man with a grim face pushed the door and walked in from outside.

If Lu Tianxing were here, he would surely recognize this middle-aged man as Tang Fengxiao, the uncle of Tang Qing, whom he had encountered at a bar.

“Tang Fengxiao, so the Shu Tang Family is also involved. Does this mean yesterday’s attack on Old Master was your doing?” Lu Hongda’s expression turned exceptionally ugly upon seeing Tang Fengxiao.

“Otherwise, do you think Lu Tiankuang would have died so quickly?”

Tang Fengxiao’s eyes gleamed with coldness, “Lu Hongda, I don’t have much patience to discuss other things with you, and don’t pretend to be loyal. If you hadn’t written that letter to Lu Tianzhan, and hadn’t secretly informed us of Lu Tianzhan leaving Beijing, do you think we’d have had the chance to kill Lu Tianzhan? You’re nothing but a traitor to the Lu Family.”

“Lu Hongda, you have no choice. Life and death are just a matter of your decision. If you choose to perish with the Lu Family, you can leave now. Rest assured, we won’t act against you for now. We’ll let you watch the Lu Family members die one by one before your eyes, leaving no one from your line remaining,” Yang Tiansi said with a sinister tone from the side.

Hearing Tang Fengxiao and Yang Tiansi’s words, Lu Hongda instinctively wanted to leave but found himself unable to move his feet. His greatest dream had always been to become the head of the Lu Family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to plot against Lu Tianzhan, luring him out of Beijing.

However, Lu Hongda never expected that after Lu Tianzhan’s death, Old Master Lu never appointed a successor. Instead, he chose a successor from the third generation, selecting Lu Haoyue, but he was helpless in the situation. He knew that if he showed eagerness to become the family head, people would suspect that Lu Tianzhan’s death had something to do with him.

So he’s been enduring, and this endurance has lasted for more than twenty years. In the end, he never thought that Lu Tianzhan’s son was still alive and returned to the Lu Family. On top of that, before Old Master Lu’s death, he possibly entrusted the Lu Family’s power to Lu Tianxing, making it difficult for him to swallow this grudge.

Yang Tiansi and Tang Fengxiao exchanged glances when they saw the uncertainty on Lu Hongda’s face, seeing the smiles in each other’s eyes.

Tang Fengxiao spoke again at this point, “Lu Hongda, they say a person who is not merciless cannot achieve great things. Usually, the position of the Lu Family head originally belonged to your lineage. Don’t forget, your father’s qualifications were far superior to Lu Tiankuang’s. But why did your father shield Lu Tiankuang from that fatal blow? Was he truly selfless? And why did your mother become melancholic and pass away shortly after your father’s death? Doesn’t all this seem too coincidental to you? Have you never doubted if there was something fishy about it?”
