Chapter 1993 - 1966: The Arrival of Qiu Zhengfeng

After a while, Jiang Liufeng’s voice came through the phone again: "Tianxing, how is Qiu Tianrui doing now?"

"After Qiu Tianrui called me, I hurried over, but I was a step late. Qiu Tianrui was pierced through the chest by Sword Qi, but it should not have hurt his heart. He is in the operating room now and should live."

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said: "Besides, I’ve already called Qiu Yingrong to inform Mr. Qiu. They should be rushing over shortly."

"Got it."

Hearing Lu Tianxing finish speaking, Jiang Liufeng took a deep breath and said: "Tianxing, you stay in the hospital for now, I’ll handle the outside matters. I will have someone investigate this and find out who is orchestrating all this behind the scenes."

"Alright, Grandpa, I’ll leave it to you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tianxing remained silent for a moment, picked up his phone and dialed Sima Lingyun’s number.

In an instant, the phone was answered, and Sima Lingyun’s voice came through.

"Judge, calling me at this time, what do you want?"

"Sima Lingyun, you heard about the Qin Island situation, right?" Lu Tianxing spoke in a deep voice.

"I know, and there’s a rumor outside saying Wei Xu died by your hand."

Sima Lingyun’s calm voice reached Lu Tianxing’s ears.

"Do you also think I killed Wei Xu?"

"No."

Sima Lingyun directly gave an answer to Lu Tianxing. He knew Lu Tianxing’s character too well. If Lu Tianxing really wanted to kill Wei Xu, he wouldn’t have let Wei Xu leave Taoyuan Restaurant alive, let alone wait until Wei Xu returned to the apartment to act.

"Do you know who the mastermind behind Wei Xu’s murder and the rumors is?"

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and spoke again: "I suspect it’s related to those who spread rumors last time in Eagle Country."

"I suspect they’re the same group too."

Sima Lingyun slowly opened his mouth and said: "But unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any useful information now. The other side is very well-hidden, even if I try my best to track them down, it’s to no avail. But one thing is certain, Wei Xu knew them or was connected."

"Why?"

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s confusion, Sima Lingyun continued: "Because although Wei Xu’s eyes showed fear before he died, his expression included confusion. A normal person facing death is always afraid, especially someone like Wei Xu—a spoiled rich kid. Yet, his eyes, besides fear, showed puzzled confusion, which means the person who killed Wei Xu must be someone he knew. That’s why he looked so confused before he died, wondering why the person wanted to kill him."

At this point, Sima Lingyun paused before continuing: "Judge, if you want to investigate who the mastermind is, maybe start from this angle. But I can’t guarantee that this direction is correct."

"I understand that, also, if you find other information, I hope you’ll inform me."

"No problem, but Judge, remember, this is China, not overseas. Some matters, you better think twice before acting, don’t put me in a difficult position."

"Sima Lingyun, I stand by my words: If no one offends me, I offend no one. But if someone offends me, I will eliminate them completely."

"Judge, you... ."

Before Sima Lingyun could finish speaking, Lu Tianxing hung up the phone without hesitation. He was not a kind-hearted person; he only knew if someone wanted him dead, he would send them to Hell. He was not evil, nor kind, if attacked, he retaliates completely—that’s his way of life.

"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"

Right after Lu Tianxing hung up his call with Sima Lingyun, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, strikingly loud in the quiet hospital hallway.

Hearing the rush of footsteps, Lu Tianxing instinctively turned his head and saw the figures of Qiu Yingrong and Qiu Zhengfeng appear in his view. The undisguised panic on their faces was evident as they hurried towards the operating room, accelerating their pace on spotting Lu Tianxing sitting outside.

In a blink of an eye, the two reached Lu Tianxing’s side.

"Mr. Lu, how is Tianrui? Will he be alright?" Qiu Zhengfeng rapidly approached Lu Tianxing, asking anxiously, his elderly face filled with unmistakable worry and tension.

Qiu Yingrong stood beside Qiu Zhengfeng. Although she said nothing, the worry in her clenched fists and in her beautiful eyes clearly showed how anxious she was about Qiu Tianrui’s safety.

Hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words and seeing Qiu Yingrong’s worried face, Lu Tianxing slowly exhaled a deep breath, saying: "As for Young Master Qiu’s condition, I’m not particularly clear right now. Everything depends on the doctors coming out of the operating room for clarity."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng’s body involuntarily shivered, his cloudy eyes turning instantly sharp, resembling an enraged lion filled with fierce murderous intent. Although Lu Tianxing didn’t say how severe Qiu Tianrui’s injuries were, his tone implied Qiu Tianrui was critically injured, teetering between life and death, liable to die any moment.

Yet, Qiu Zhengfeng, being the Qiu Family Head, after a brief bout of anger, quickly calmed down, suppressing his voice as he looked at Lu Tianxing, saying: "Mr. Lu, what exactly happened? How did it come to this?"

"I’m not entirely sure either."

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said: "After Young Master Qiu informed me about Wei Xu’s death, we agreed to meet at Taoyuan Restaurant. But upon reaching there, I received a call from Young Master Qiu saying he was attacked. By the time I rushed over, I was still a step too late... ."

At this point, Lu Tianxing’s gaze fell on Qiu Zhengfeng, sighing: "Elder Qiu, I apologize, I... ."

Before Lu Tianxing could finish his words, Qiu Zhengfeng interrupted him, firmly saying: "Mr. Lu, you don’t need to blame yourself; this isn’t your fault. On the contrary, I want to thank you for saving my grandson. At least he isn’t dead now, right?"

Hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Lu Tianxing nodded slightly, but his complexion was still ugly—possibly because Qiu Tianrui’s fate was uncertain or that he was ensnared in someone else’s plan, causing his frustration.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s expression, Qiu Zhengfeng seemed to recall something, saying: "Mr. Lu, do you know who masterminded this assassination attempt on Tianrui?"

"I’m unsure about that too."

Lu Tianxing shook his head, saying: "The assailants were Death Soldiers, and they committed suicide by poison once the attack was over. I can’t find out who the mastermind is for now."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I understand."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng gently nodded, remained silent, focusing intensely on the operating room’s entrance, striving to stay calm. However, his clenched fists showed the tension and anxiety within him. Tianrui was his only grandson; should anything happen to him, the Qiu Family would truly be left without a successor.
