935: Chapter 895: The Situation Inside the City 935: Chapter 895: The Situation Inside the City Upon learning that a young master from the Dongfang family was here to visit, Xu Jingchong hurriedly rose to his feet and swiftly walked to the door, opening it.

He peeked out, curiously sizing up Dongfang Cheng.

The Xu Jingchong before him was advanced in years, looking as though he was close to sixty.

His hair was grizzled, his face lined with wrinkles, and his forehead even bore age spots.

He looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “You’re from the Dongfang family, but my Xu family doesn’t really have any dealings with you.”

“Why have you come to find me?”

He stood at the doorway, not intending to let Dongfang Cheng enter.

“We should talk inside, this matter is very important, it concerns the fate of your family dynasty.”

“Is that so?

If someone else said this, I would think they were trying to deceive me, but since you’re from the Dongfang family, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.”

He fully opened the door and said, “Come in then.

You’d better make things clear to me, don’t try to fool me.”

Dongfang Cheng walked in quickly with Lu Chuan following closely behind.

“Hold on, if you’re not from the Dongfang family, just wait here.”

Lu Chuan fixed his eyes on Xu Jingchong and asked with a smile, “Are you sure you want me to wait at the door?”

“What?

Is there a problem?”

Dongfang Cheng quickly grabbed Xu Jingchong’s arm and pulled him into the study.

Then, he beckoned to Lu Chuan, “Come in first, and close the door!”

After Lu Chuan came in and shut the door, the two of them stood facing Xu Jingchong.

“Who exactly are you two?

What do you want with me?

Don’t disturb me for no reason, I don’t have time to play games with you!”

Lu Chuan stepped forward and asked, “I just have a few questions for you, very simple ones!”

“First off, is Nangong Qianying personally in Tiannan City?”

“Why do you ask?

Do you know Nangong Qianying?

You’d best not poke your nose into such matters, it won’t end well for you!”

“What do you want with him?

Just tell me straight, and I’ll consider it, maybe I can pass on the message for you.”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “I don’t need you to pass on any messages, I’m just asking you a question.

If you don’t answer, well, that’s going to be unfortunate for you.”

“Unfortunate?

What do you mean?

Are you threatening me?

Just who are you?

You’ve got some nerve, threatening me.

Don’t you know who I am?

If you had any understanding of my status in Tiannan City, you wouldn’t dare talk to me like this!”

He looked at Lu Chuan with an overwhelmingly arrogant demeanor.

Lu Chuan gave a faint smile, disregarding his threat.

“I don’t care how powerful your backing is, it can’t be larger than the Nangong family.

I can kill even Nangong Tian, so killing you would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingchong was suddenly rooted to the spot and took two steps back.

“What did you just say?

Who did you kill?

Nangong Tian?

Don’t talk nonsense!”

Lu Chuan smiled and took two steps forward, continuing, “The news of Nangong Tian’s death should have reached here by now, you should know that a person named Lu Chuan killed Nangong Tian.”

“Impossible, are you saying that you are Lu Chuan?

It hasn’t been long since it happened, and you’ve already arrived in Tiannan City?”

Xu Jingchong looked at Lu Chuan with some disbelief, still unable to believe it.

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you.

I am Lu Chuan himself.

If you don’t believe me, we can have a fight to determine the truth.”

“You had better cooperate now, or else you will end up just like Nangong Tian.

You are not much more special than Nangong Tian.

In fact, you’re not his equal in any way.

If I could kill Nangong Tian, I naturally have the strength to kill you!”

Lu Chuan’s words made Xu Jingchong start to get nervous, and he gradually began to believe that the man before him was indeed Lu Chuan!

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he watched Lu Chuan, swallowing nervously.

“What do you want from me?

My Xu family hasn’t provoked you!

You’d better calm down.”

Lu Chuan said dismissively, “Your Xu family hasn’t provoked me, but if you don’t cooperate nicely, that would be provoking me.”

“Now tell me, where is Nangong Qianying right now?

Is he in Tiannan City?

If not, where could he be?”

Xu Jingchong immediately panicked and exclaimed, “Lu Chuan, I don’t know where he is; I don’t know anything about him!”

He shouted loudly, his emotions seeming very agitated.

“Are you ignorant or too scared to say?

From the look of fear on your face, it seems you’re not afraid of me.

You’re afraid of Nangong Qianying, afraid of the retaliation you’d face if you disclosed his whereabouts, right?”

“Lu Chuan, don’t jump to conclusions.

If Nangong Qianying decides to come out of hiding, you’re absolutely no match for him.

You’d better give up now and run away; otherwise, you’re asking for death!”

“You killed Nangong Tian and Nangong Qianying’s two grandsons; Nangong Qianying won’t let you off no matter what.”

“Staying here is just waiting to die!”

Xu Jingchong threatened.

Lu Chuan still appeared indifferent, replying unconcernedly, “I came here to take his life; you actually advising me to hide from him would make my trip a waste, wouldn’t it?”

Lu Chuan quickly stepped forward.

Although Xu Jingchong wanted to retreat, his speed was far inferior to Lu Chuan’s, and Lu Chuan rushed forward and grabbed his throat in an instant.

After being grabbed by the throat, Xu Jingchong coughed twice, the sensation of asphyxiation turning his cheeks red with suffocation.

“Speak or not!

You just said that if Nangong Qianying comes out of hiding, he would kill me, which means he hasn’t come out yet!”

“So, he must not be in Tiannan City right now.

Tell me, where is he exactly!”

“If you can’t come up with a good answer, I’ll kill you and obliterate your Xu family.

Don’t think I can’t do it.

I had the power to annihilate the Nangong family, so dealing with your Xu family would be a breeze!”

Lu Chuan went on, “If I don’t kill a bunch of people, nobody takes me seriously.

So, if I wipe out your Xu family, it’ll serve as a warning to others.

I suppose no one in Tiannan City will dare confront me then!”

Xu Jingchong immediately panicked, gritting his teeth, “Lu…

Lu Chuan, please spare me.

I truly don’t want to die.

My Xu family worked hard to develop our business to this point; I don’t want to see it destroyed.

Give us a way out, please.

I believe you have the strength to do so, otherwise, you wouldn’t have pushed the Nangong family to this state.

And our Xu family, we’re just living off scraps from the Nangong family, if you attack us, we have absolutely no chance of resisting.”

He spoke helplessly.

Lu Chuan released his right hand, and Xu Jingchong fell to the ground, sitting there, breathing heavily, his complexion gradually returning to normal.

Lu Chuan approached him and asked, “Now, can you cooperate with me?”

“No problem…

I’ll speak…

I’ll just speak, but if you can’t kill Nangong Qianying, then I’m the one who will die.”
