Chapter 2299: Chapter 2299: Troubles Directly Took His Place
"An Die, tell the Lord of the City that we now suspect Lu Tianfeng’s illness is completely faked!" An Meng’s gaze lingered darkly on the door to the study, lowering his voice as he spoke to An Die.
"Faked?"
An Die was genuinely astonished by what he said.
In Sky City, who didn’t know that Lu Tianfeng, the sworn brother of the Lord of the City, was a sickly man?
But now, his illness was actually fake?
"No wonder! He’s a pharmacist himself, yet he couldn’t figure out what illness he supposedly had, let alone cure it. Turns out he’s just feigning illness to gain sympathy!"
She was furious. Lu Tianfeng had truly acted this part to perfection.
"If it weren’t for Commander Lin, we still wouldn’t know that Lu Tianfeng was this kind of person!" An Shen added.
"Anything else you’ve discovered?" An Die asked.
"Not for now." An Meng shook his head.
...
Inside the study, Lu Tianlan was handling some matters when he looked up to see Lu Tianfeng pushing the door open and walking in.
Inwardly, he sneered.
Previously, when Lin Baizhong hadn’t brought it up, he hadn’t much minded Lu Tianfeng’s habit of barging into his study without notification.
But now, how could he not feel that Lu Tianfeng treated the study of the City Lord as though it were his own?
"Tianfeng, you’re here."
He set down the documents in his hand and asked softly.
"How’s your health lately? Why do you look even worse?"
"Cough, cough. Brother, I’m fine."
Hearing Lu Tianlan ask about his health, Lu Tianfeng put on an act and coughed a few times.
"Brother, over on my side..."
"It’s good that you’re fine."
Before Lu Tianfeng could finish his sentence, Lu Tianlan cut him off.
"With your condition, you should focus on recuperating and stop running around outside. Fortunately, Nian has returned."
"Commander Lin..."
Lu Tianfeng couldn’t understand—what did Lin Baizhong’s return have to do with him?
But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lu Tianlan again.
"I’ve already entrusted the mission to Haikuo Forest to Nian. You know his abilities—he’ll surely bring back all the medicinal ingredients your sister-in-law needs."
Lu Tianfeng: "!!!"
Haikuo Forest assigned to Lin Baizhong?
What had he worked so hard to set up for? What was the point of all the effort he expended to persuade Lu Tianlan to open up Haikuo Forest?
Lin Baizhong was Lin Caisang’s father, which made him Sui Zimo’s father-in-law. No matter how capable he was, would he really send an enemy of his to Haikuo Forest to directly oppose him?
"Brother, there’s no need to trouble Commander Lin with this. I can handle the matters in Haikuo Forest myself..."
"Your health isn’t suited for such a dangerous place as Haikuo Forest. Better to let Nian go alone." Lu Tianlan interrupted Lu Tianfeng once again.
Hearing Lu Tianlan’s words, Lu Tianfeng’s eyes widened.
He wasn’t allowed to go to Haikuo Forest?
He had thought Lu Tianlan was simply making things difficult for him, but he hadn’t expected that the trouble would completely replace his role, wouldn’t it?
"Brother, how can this be? Commander Lin has only just returned, and now you’re giving him such a dangerous task? Won’t he resent you for not appreciating the efforts of a man who once saved your life?"
"It’s fine. Nian is one of us; he won’t mind such things." Lu Tianlan smiled dismissively, clearly unconcerned by Lu Tianfeng’s words.
