"That's right."

Yang Tiansi nodded and said in a deep voice, "This trip to Jinling can be said to be the best time to make a move. If my guess is correct, the Fang Family won't let it go after enduring such a loss. They might come to you for help. Once they do, our plan can be smoothly implemented. By then, as long as we provoke Lu Tianxing, the Fang Family will certainly be annihilated, and we can put Lu Tianxing to death."

"Will doing this work?"

"Of course it will. As long as we provoke Lu Tianxing, regardless of whether he destroys the Fang Family, he will fall into our trap. Once he's in the trap, he's doomed."

Yang Tiansi's eyes gleamed with a sinister light, filled with the thrill of revenge: "However, to make this plan perfect, the Fang Family must become cannon fodder. I wonder if you, Brother Jiang, are willing to let go."

"Willing or not?"

Jiang Haochen sneered, "I can even give up on my own aunt; what's a distant relative worth sacrificing? As long as it can make Lu Tianxing perish, what's one sacrifice?"

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing Jiang Haochen's words, Yang Tiansi burst into wild laughter: "Good, Brother Jiang truly is a formidable figure. I can assure you, once our plan succeeds, Lu Tianxing is dead. Next, Brother Jiang and I can discuss the details of this plan thoroughly."

"All ears."

A cruel smile appeared on Jiang Haochen's face. Once Lu Tianxing was dead, he wanted to wipe out the Lu Family, leaving no one alive.

...

Completely unaware that someone was plotting against him in secret, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were driving to the hotel they had already booked.

After getting two room cards from the front desk, the four of them went straight upstairs and returned to their respective rooms.

Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing shared a room, while Xue Man and Lin Qianru shared another. Originally, it was supposed to be one person to a room, but Xue Man refused and insisted on sharing a room with Lin Qianru, saying it would strengthen their sisterly bond, which left Lu Tianxing speechless.

Especially the way Xue Man looked at him then, it made him feel crazy. Was she guarding against a thief? Did she take him for a flower thief?

If Xue Man knew Lu Tianxing's thoughts at that moment, she would surely have said unreservedly, 'Yes, I'm guarding against you, the flower thief.'

Holding the room card, Lu Tianxing walked into the hotel suite and plopped down on the sofa, while Bai Zhiqing walked over to him with a smile and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you worried about today's events?"

"No, a Fang Family can't do anything to me."

Lu Tianxing shook his head gently while holding Bai Zhiqing's slender waist. He truly didn't consider the Fang Family a threat. Destroying the Fang Family was effortless for him.

"Then why does your face look a bit off? Did something happen?" Bai Zhiqing asked with concern.

"Nothing happened. Maybe I'm just overthinking."

Lu Tianxing shook his head, but he couldn't calm down. Ever since entering Jinling, he had an inexplicable sense of unease, as if something bad was going to happen, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"Wife, how about we go to Suzhou in a couple of days?" Lu Tianxing suddenly suggested.

"To Suzhou?"

Hearing Lu Tianxing's words, Bai Zhiqing was slightly stunned but still nodded, "No problem. After Xiao Man and Qian Ru return to Modu in a couple of days, we'll go to Suzhou. It will be nice to see Grandpa; he seems lonely and unhappy. We can bring him back to Modu for a few days to relax."

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Lu Tianxing nodded. He had now advanced to the middle-stage Mythical level, and with the Creation Source Technique, alongside the strength of the Old Master, refining a strand of Sword Qi was not a difficult task. Once he refined the Sword Qi within the Old Master's body, he would truly have no worries.

With the Old Master presiding, he wouldn't have to worry about Bai Zhiqing and others' safety, and those hiding in the shadows wouldn't dare to act recklessly. This would allow him to focus on resolving other matters.

While Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were discussing this, in the next room.

Lin Qianru and Xue Man were also sitting on the sofa in the presidential suite.

Xue Man looked somewhat pensively at Lin Qianru, who had a slight smile on her face, and said, "Qianru, you like Lu Tianxing. Don't you regret it?"

"Regret?"

Upon hearing Xue Man's words, Lin Qianru's body trembled slightly. She understood what Xue Man was hinting at — about loving Lu Tianxing yet not having an official status.

"Maybe I did regret it once, but later I realized it didn't matter whether I had a title. All I need is to know he cares about me, and that's enough. Love isn't truly happy only when it has a formal title," Lin Qianru said softly, her face showing a gentle expression. Since Lu Tianxing unhesitatingly followed her to Hang City and even broke into the Tan Family with her, she knew she could never leave him in this lifetime.

When Xue Man heard this, she was momentarily stunned. Being close friends, she knew Lin Qianru wasn't lying.

"Xiao Man, why did you suddenly ask me this? This isn't like you." Lin Qianru suddenly asked.

"Nothing."

Xue Man shook her head with a somewhat gloomy expression and said, "Qianru, do you think I'm useless? All I do is cause trouble."

"Xiao Man, don't say that. At least you protect me. If it weren't for you yesterday, I might have been humiliated by that spoiled brat. How can you say you're useless? If you are, then how many people in the world are not?"

Lin Qianru gently comforted Xue Man. She knew very well why Xue Man was so anxious, but there were some things an outsider couldn't say.

"Maybe."

Xue Man's face flashed a hint of sadness as she lightly shook her head, suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

"Alright, Xiao Man, stop being so sentimental. This isn't the Xue Man I remember."

Lin Qianru smiled, standing up and undressing in front of Xue Man, "Xiao Man, since we have some time now, shall we take a bath together to wash away the gloom? After all, the police station isn't a nice place."

"Sure, it's been a long time since we bathed together."

Xue Man stood up, casually took a bathrobe from her suitcase, and undressed in front of Lin Qianru, revealing a perfect, fiery figure. Her fair skin looked like silk, seemingly glowing with a faint light.
