Could it be that Xue Bing really got questioned by Bai Zhiqing and the two of them started fighting?
This thought suddenly tightened Lu Tianxing’s heart, a trace of nervousness appeared on his face, and he subconsciously stood up from the sofa, intending to walk outside. He couldn’t bear it any longer; he had to go out and have a look. Even if he had to die, he wanted to die knowing why. This waiting for death was the greatest tornt.
"Click!"
Just as Lu Tianxing was about to stand up and head towards the door, the tightly closed office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a beautiful figure walked in from outside.
"Honey, why are you back?" Lu Tianxing widened his eyes, looking at the beautiful figure walking in, surprised.
Bai Zhiqing walked into the office, glanced at Lu Tianxing, and said calmly, "This is my office, I certainly have to co back. Besides, with Xiao Bing and Xiao Man chatting, why would I stay there and be a third wheel?"
Listening to Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing hesitated for a mont and said, "Honey, did Xue Bing this little girl say anything bad about just now?"
"Why are you asking this? Did you do sothing with Xiao Bing and are afraid I might find out?" Bai Zhiqing’s gaze fell on Lu Tianxing, speaking calmly.
Feeling Bai Zhiqing’s gaze, Lu Tianxing felt a jolt of fear, decisively shook his head, and said, "No, no, honey, you’re overthinking. I was just casually asking. You know Xue Bing doesn’t like . What if she defas in front of you? It would be hard to clear my na even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
"Is that really what you think? No other intentions?"
"Of course, that’s exactly what I think." Lu Tianxing looked into Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, saying with a serious face.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing glanced at Lu Tianxing again, didn’t say anything more, and directly walked towards the desk.
Looking at Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing opened his mouth, just about to say sothing further to Bai Zhiqing. Suddenly, his phone in his pocket rang with a lodious tune.
Hearing the phone ringtone, Lu Tianxing was montarily stunned, took out the phone, and upon seeing the caller ID on the screen, he didn’t hesitate to answer the call.
"Cousin, why did you call today?"
The caller was none other than Lu Haoyue.
"Brother, I want to ask you sothing."
Holding the phone, Lu Haoyue took a deep breath and slowly began, "Yesterday, I received news that soone was secretly investigating your identity and took your and Uncle’s DNA report. I told Grandpa about this last night, but I’m still a bit worried, so I’m calling today to remind you to be cautious."
Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Tianxing’s brows imdiately furrowed tightly. Taking away his and his father’s DNA report, what is the intention? It’s well-known in all of China’s elite circles that he’s the son of Lu Tianzhan, the third young master of the Lu Family. This is an indisputable, well-established fact. Nobody would doubt the truth of it. At this ti, taking his DNA report seems completely unnecessary and superfluous, serving no purpose.
However, soone chose to do it anyway, leaving him baffled, unable to understand what the other party intends. A DNA report can’t really create controversy.
After thinking for a mont, Lu Tianxing said in a deep voice, "Brother, you inford Grandpa about this, does he have any views on it?"
"No,"
Lu Haoyue recalled Old Master Lu’s reaction from last night, shook his head, and said, "But Grandpa seems to be quite familiar with the person who stole the DNA report, saying I shouldn’t worry about it and let this person do as they please."
"Is that what Grandpa said?"
Lu Tianxing furrowed his brows, then relaxed them, smiling as he said, "Since Grandpa said not to pursue it, I suppose the matter isn’t too significant, then let’s ignore it. Apart from this, Brother, has there been any progress on the information you were helping investigate about Avril?"
"Not much progress,"
Discussing this, Lu Haoyue tightened his brows, and his tone grew unprecedentedly heavy, "Avril seems to know soone is secretly investigating her. During this period, she hasn’t shown any anomaly, just as she said, she only ca to China to repair the relationship between the Church and Huaxia Martial Artists. Besides previously interacting with the Yang Family, she has t the Han Family, Mu Family, and other households, without displaying anything unusual."
```
Lu Tianxing listened to Lu Haoyue’s words, his brow furrowing even deeper. Although he couldn’t guess what exactly Avril was plotting, he was one hundred percent sure about one thing: Avril was definitely targeting him this ti, without any exception.
"Cousin, do you think Avril is really here just to nd the relationship between the Church and Huaxia Martial Artists?"
"Impossible."
Lu Tianxing shook his head, took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a light draw before saying, "You don’t understand Avril. This woman’s tactics and sches are beyond what ordinary people can match. If you underestimate her, the result will be your death at her hands. Besides, this woman is extrely ambitious. She would never do anything without benefits. And since I recently killed the Holy Son of the Church, if she’s ambitious, she will definitely act against to enhance her influence within the Church."
"Influence?"
Lu Haoyue was slightly stunned: "You an, this woman plans to beco the Pope?"
If a Holy Daughter desperately wanted to enhance her influence within the Church, there could only be one goal: to beco the Pope. Because the Holy Daughter is the highest position a woman could achieve in the Church, enhancing influence is completely unnecessary unless aiming to beco the Pope.
"Barring any unexpected circumstances, that should be the reason. The reason she interacts with families like the Mu Family and Han Family, I think, is rely to confuse our eyes, to make us drop our vigilance against her. When the opportunity arises, she will definitely strike without hesitation."
"I understand. I will continue to have people investigate Avril."
Lu Haoyue nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Cousin, have you really decided to go to Beijing? Since Avril is targeting you this ti, it will definitely be a deadly setup."
Lu Haoyue attempted to persuade Lu Tianxing once again.
"I know."
Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "But I must go to Beijing, and you know why, cousin. I’m already in this situation. If I don’t proactively dismantle this setup, Bai Zhiqing, and even those around , will live in fear of being assassinated for the rest of their lives. Even a tiger has monts of drowsiness. I cannot promise that I can always stay vigilant against assassination attempts. The matter has co to this, and I can only face it head-on and actively enter the setup."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lu Haoyue took a deep breath and said, "When you decide to go to Beijing, let know. I’ll bring Lu Family people to assist you."
"I know, thanks, cousin."
"No need to thank , we are brothers."
Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue exchanged a few more words, and then directly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, his gaze becoming cold, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Just then, a cold, slightly concerned voice sounded in Lu Tianxing’s ear: "Lu Tianxing, are you going to Beijing?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Tianxing looked up at Bai Zhiqing, whose pretty face was filled with deep concern, and took a deep breath, saying, "Yes, probably in the next couple of days, I plan to make a trip to Beijing."
"Can you choose not to go?"
Bai Zhiqing’s voice carried a hint of worry. Although she hadn’t heard what Lu Haoyue said earlier, she could see the heavy expression that would not fade off Lu Tianxing’s face. With Bai Zhiqing’s understanding of Lu Tianxing, if the trip to Beijing weren’t dangerous, he would never show such a grave expression.
Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s expression, Lu Tianxing did not speak, just shook his head gently. He was too acutely aware of Avril’s character. Regardless of whether he went to Beijing or not, Avril would not let him off. If he chose not to go, perhaps Avril would not risk acting against him in Modu this ti, but it was certain that if Avril chose to act in Modu, then at that ti, the true danger would not only be to him but to everyone, everyone connected to him, which was sothing he didn’t want to see.
Moreover, aside from Avril, there was another reason he must go to Beijing, and that was the Heavenly God. To find the whereabouts of the Heavenly God, he had to et Sima Lingyun’s master no matter what.
Looking at Lu Tianxing’s expression, Bai Zhiqing sighed softly in her heart, walked slowly to Lu Tianxing, reached out to hug him, and rested her head on his shoulder, murmuring softly, "Lu Tianxing, I hope you rember that no matter what happens, you must protect yourself well. Don’t act out of bravado because you must know that I, along with Qian Ru and others, are all at ho waiting for your safe return. No matter what, I hope you can co back safe and sound. Do you understand?"
Listening to Bai Zhiqing’s affectionate words, a sense of unprecedented emotion surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. He took a deep breath, said nothing more, extended his hand to wrap it around Bai Zhiqing’s slender waist, and held her in his arms. At this mont, Lu Tianxing realized he owed this woman in front of him too much, perhaps only a lifeti could repay it.
