Chapter 868: Chapter 868 The Cause of Annihilation

Lu Yichen had never expected that behind a small jade pendant, so much had happened—his family was annihilated due to a relative’s drunken slip of the tongue that turned malevolent, leading to the entire clan’s burial.

Lu Yichen clenched his teeth and said, "This enmity towards my family is so deep that it cannot be shared under heaven. I can still remember my grandmother’s voice and smile. Her heart must have been filled with hatred. No wonder she insisted on returning to Chongqing, despite her terminal illness, and her last wish was to be buried there.

I could never understand before, but now I finally realize why she insisted on being buried in Chongqing. Grandfather has been secretly investigating this matter without ever mentioning it to us, probably because grandmother didn’t want us to get involved."

"But that’s just how things are. Even if grandfather did not wish for it, trouble still came our way. Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry for dragging you into this."

Luo Qiao reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Yichen’s waist: "We are husband and wife; there is no need for such words."

After steadying their emotions and having something to eat in the space, they finally left it.

The next day, there was movement in the courtyard. Lu Yichen went out and upon returning, said to Luo Qiao, "Their flight is this afternoon. I’ve also bought tickets. Get ready, we’re preparing to leave."

When they reappeared, Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao had deliberately put on makeup, making it unlikely that even Jun Zhenlin, should they meet face-to-face, would recognize them.

Luo Qiao and her party boarded the plane early and kept a close watch on Jun Zhenlin’s every move. Only Tattoo Man came with him— that man really had guts. Despite being so injured without timely treatment, he was now appearing on the plane again.

When the plane landed, it was already dark, but as soon as they disembarked, there was someone to pick them up. Lu Yichen had also contacted a comrade-in-arms to pick them up, and they managed to get the room next to theirs on the same floor.

Lu Yichen had no idea what he said to his comrade-in-arms, but he left them the car and departed early, and the two of them rested after a light meal.

The next day, before dawn, Luo Qiao and he left by car. The night before, Luo Qiao had already scouted out their mountain route, so they arrived early at the essential passage point and waited.

It was only after their targets ascended the mountain and hid behind a rock that Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao discovered that the people with Jun Zhenlin were not the same as before. These people must have been arranged in advance, showing that Jun Zhenlin had made extensive preparations beforehand.

Maintaining a safe distance, they followed behind. The group was highly vigilant, and had it not been for the space, Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao might have been discovered long ago.

They walked all day and only reached their destination as it was getting dark. Jun Zhenlin ordered his men to set up camp and light a fire, placing their food over it to cook.

Seeing them settle down, the couple entered the space directly.

Meanwhile, the ’Wutou’ impostor that had surfaced at the border was caught by a joint force of local border security and military, and through interrogation, they realized he was just a decoy—they also learned that ’Wutou’ had indeed entered the country, but his actual whereabouts were unclear.

It turned out that ’Wutou’ was an undercover agent who had infiltrated the mainland many years ago but later fled. His return was not only for personal matters but also for a secret mission.

Luo Qiao had previously checked their hotel information—they had used the name Liu Yuanjiang. So, before heading into the mountains, they had called Old Master Gu to inquire about this person.

In a fortunate coincidence, Luo Haotian was delivering a gift to Old Master Gu that day—a batch of fine tobacco that Luo Qiao had asked him to find for Old Master Gu. When Lu Yichen called, Luo Haotian was there and overheard the names Liu Yuanjiang and Jun Zhenlin, which made him prick up his ears.

He even made a point of asking where Lu Yichen and his wife were.

Master Gu felt there was no need to lie to his relatives and plainly stated they were in Chongqing. Luo Haotian excused himself without a change in expression and went straight to a teahouse.

He reported the information he had gathered and his speculations to his superiors.

As a result, the superiors made rapid arrangements. A certain military unit stationed in Chongqing received orders from their higher-ups to secretly apprehend Jun Zhenlin and Liu Yuanjiang.
