Chapter 828 - 828 788 Going to Lu Manor

828: Chapter 788 Going to Lu Manor 828: Chapter 788 Going to Lu Manor Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou and smiled, saying, “It’s all over now.

From now on, no one in Forest City will be able to threaten us again.”

“Is that so?

Have both the Lu family and the City Lord’s forces been dealt with?”

“The City Lord is no longer a concern, and as for the Lu family, they are like a dragon without a head.

By tomorrow, when I go to Lu Manor, their power will naturally crumble.”

Gu Xiaorou, holding Lu Chuan’s hand, took a seat beside him on the chair, standing behind him and massaging his shoulders.

“Have you ever thought about what you would do if one day you truly achieved your wish?

After you’ve destroyed the Lu family and punished those who killed your father, what then?”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly and nodded, saying, “I have thought about it.”

“If there comes a day when I truly overthrow the Lu family, I definitely won’t be able to wipe them all out.”

“The Lu family must not perish!

At least, I still bear the name Lu.”

“But the Lu family, headed by Lu Fusheng, must be extinguished.”

“So, when I go to Lu Manor tomorrow, I do not plan to eradicate them completely.”

Gu Xiaorou, leaning close to Lu Chuan, smiled and said, “That’s the right thing to do.

There are no unbreakable alliances in this world.

If you do destroy the Lu Manor and allow the Dongfang family to rise to the top, they may not continue to treat you well, to treat us well.”

“So, that’s something to think through carefully.”

Lu Chuan touched her hand and smiled, saying, “It seems that on this point, we’ve reached an agreement.”

“By the way, where’s Gu Xiaosang?”

“Oh, her?

She has gone to her room to cultivate.

She’s been very diligent lately.

After witnessing so many powerful individuals, it has spurred her fighting spirit.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “You also need to work hard to enhance your strength.”

“No problem, I will definitely work hard.”

Lu Chuan stood up and walked towards the room.

The two said their goodbyes and returned to their respective rooms.

After resting for the night, the next morning came.

After getting up, Lu Chuan went to the courtyard to bask in the warm morning sunlight and stretched his waist.

The courtyard was very empty; only Li Xunying was still standing there.

Seeing Lu Chuan come out, Li Xunying quickly approached him.

“Young Master Lu, I am ready and can set out at any moment.”

“Let’s go, we won’t delay any longer.

Head straight to Lu Manor.”

“No problem.

Do I need to take this person with me?”

He pointed at the sack on the ground, with Lu Baixuan still inside it.

“Cut his tendons in his hands and feet, then bring him to Lu Manor.”

Li Xunying clasped his hands together and bowed, “Yes!”

He swiftly squatted down, drew a dagger, and neatly severed Lu Baixuan’s tendons in his hands and feet.

Now, Lu Baixuan was completely disabled, utterly bereft of the ability to move or fight.

He looked up at the sky in despair, tears welling in his eyes from the excruciating pain.

The cloth in his mouth muffled his whimpering sounds.

Li Xunying picked him up and together they left the Dongfang Residence.

At the entrance of the Dongfang Residence, Dongfang Cheng saw them off.

“Young Master Lu, once you arrive at Lu Manor, how do you plan to deal with those remnants?”

Dongfang Cheng asked curiously.

“Wait for the outcome.

I can’t say for sure right now; if they all refuse to submit, then I’ll kill them all.

But that’s unlikely.”

Thereupon, Lu Chuan, along with Li Xunying, mounted their horses and headed towards Lu Manor.

Dongfang Cheng watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure and helplessly shook his head.

“Young Master Dongfang Cheng, Young Master Lu, going to Lu Manor this time, you won’t directly wipe out the Lu family, will you?

I never expected that the sworn enemy we have been fighting for so many years would be bitten back by their own family outcast, it’s quite interesting,” said Dongfang Changzhi.

Dongfang Cheng turned back to look at Dongfang Changzhi and hurriedly said, “Don’t mention ‘family outcast’ again; it’s an insult to Lu Chuan.”

“The man’s already gone, why keep up the pretense?

You know it, I know it, he knows it—we’re together only because our interests align, forming a short-term cooperation.”

Dongfang Cheng’s gaze was resolute as he stared at Dongfang Changzhi and said, “I regard Lu Chuan as a gentleman.

Making acquaintance with a gentleman is my good fortune.

Regardless of the final outcome, I wish to become his friend, not just a partner in interest.”

“Suit yourself; I’ve recently received news that Dongfang Lian’s body was discovered in Wan Changdong’s study.

The matter couldn’t be kept secret—Wan Changdong killed Dongfang Lian.”

“That bastard, after using her, went straight to killing to silence her.

He must’ve known that the situation had turned against him, not daring to offend Lu Chuan, thus resorted to this last-ditch measure.”

“The bastard, completely disregarding us, isn’t he afraid of offending our Dongfang family?”

Dongfang Changzhi sighed with resignation, then turned to leave.

“No matter what, this incident must be reported to the Family Head.

He needs to know, his beloved daughter died here, and he will surely seek vengeance.”

Dongfang Cheng helplessly shook his head, “Let’s go back.

The power landscape in Forest City is going to change.

It is still not certain what the final outcome will be.”

“What’s there to be uncertain about?

With the Lu family’s downfall and the City Lord’s weakened influence, won’t our Dongfang family become the top power in Forest City?”

“In the past, our Dongfang Residence ranked at most third in Forest City, but now we’re directly on top.

This is a great opportunity for us!” exclaimed Dongfang Changzhi excitedly.

“Then do you know to whom this merit belongs?”

Dongfang Changzhi said with a smile, “Of course, it’s thanks to Young Master Lu.

When he returns, I will lead the household in properly thanking him.

He has indeed done us a great favor.”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan arrived at the gates of Lu Manor.

After riding for ten minutes, he reached the location of Lu Manor.

It was like a colossal estate, with countless mansions within, enjoying luxuries beyond outsiders’ imagination.

Approaching the gate, Lu Chuan said to the guard, “Open the gate, let me in.”

“State your name!”

The guard looked at Lu Chuan with a stern expression.

“My name is Lu Chuan, now hurry up and open the gate!”

“Lu Chuan?”

Upon hearing this, the two men quickly raised their long spears and aimed them at Lu Chuan.

“You are Lu Chuan, the traitor of our Lu Manor, the outcast, the enemy!”

“Oh wow, you start off by pinning three tags on me.

You play the role of the guard quite imposingly, huh.”

Li Xunying looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Boss, let me take care of them.”

“Go ahead.”

Li Xunying nodded slightly, then, with a flick of his hand, he swiftly threw two flying darts.

Whoosh!!!

In that instant, the two guards’ eyes widened in terror.

The two flying darts, precise and swift, pierced right through the necks of the two guards.

Thud…

Immediately after, the two guards fell to the ground, blood gushing from their necks.

Lu Chuan dismounted and walked towards the gate.

Pushing open the gate, he was met with an elegant courtyard, with its ponds and rockeries, and the blossoming trees adding exquisite beauty to the yard.

After entering the courtyard, Lu Chuan saw several children playing, and farther off, a few women were cracking melon seeds and chatting.
