<h4>Chapter 476: Chapter 472 Tan Heng</h4>


    Standing on the balcony, and watching Lu Tianxing leave the neighborhood, Lin Qianru’s face revealed a warm smile; this was the life she yearned for.


    After Lu Tianxing hadpletely left the neighborhood, Lin Qianru was about to head to the bathroom. Just then, the phone ced on the bedside table suddenly rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, Lin Qianru’s expression immediately darkened, a trace of fear manifested, followed quickly by a look of anger.


    Lin Qianru, holding the phone and slightly trembling, answered the call with an icy tone, "Tan Heng, why are you calling me?"


    "Haha, why am I calling you? Lin Qianru, don’t forget our rtionship. You are my fiancée. Isn’t it normal for a fiancé to call his fiancée?"


    A mocking voice came from the other end of the phone.


    "Tan Heng, shut up. I have nothing to do with you. I will never marry you."


    Lin Qianru’s face turned livid as she roared into the phone.


    Tan Heng, the eldest young master of the Tan Family, was also Lin Qianru’s fiancé. The Tan Family, known for their Seventy-two Paths of Springing Leg, was considered an ancient martial family. They had deep roots and vast power in Hang City, almost overshadowing everything.


    "Haha, not going to marry me?"


    The voiceughed over the phone, saying, "Lin Qianru, don’t be ungrateful. Remember, I have presented betrothal gifts at your Lin Family’s house. You are my fiancée, and you can’t escape that."


    "So what if I can’t escape? Tan Heng, don’t push me too far. If ites down to it, we’ll both perish together."


    "Perish together?"


    The voice sneered from the phone, "Lin Qianru, don’t be ungrateful. It’s your good fortune that I took a liking to you. If you don’t appreciate your luck, don’t me me for not being courteous."


    "Tan Heng, you’re a bastard, a scum. Let me tell you, I will never marry you in my lifetime. Just give up, you’re a bastard, a scum."


    Lin Qianru screamed hysterically, her face filled with resentment. It was this man who had ruined her life, caused her to leave her family and flee to a foreign ce. Now he was trying to destroy her newfound happiness. She would rather die than marry Tan Heng, even in death.


    "Give up? There has never been a woman who dared to refuse me, Tan Heng."


    Tan Heng spoke softly, "Lin Qianru, don’t get agitated. I’m very kind-hearted. I’ll give you another month to think it over. Either youe back to Hang City and marry me, or I’ll start collecting the corpses of your rtives in Modu. Think it over carefully."


    Upon hearing this, Lin Qianru’s face dramatically changed, and she shouted angrily, "Tan Heng, what are you trying to do? I tell you, if you dare touch my family, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!"


    "Whether I touch your family or not is up to you. If youe back, I will surely spare the Lin Family. After all, once we are married, your parents will be my parents, too. How could I bear to harm my own inws? Think about it well. If you don’te back in a month, I’ll start killing one person a day until your entire Lin Family is wiped clean."


    Tan Heng’s voice carried no anger but was chilling to the core.


    "Tan Heng, you son of a bitch, go to hell, son of a bitch."


    Lin Qianru screamed hysterically, violently throwing her phone against the wall. Apanied by the sound of shattering, the phone instantly fell apart.


    "Wuuu..."


    After throwing the phone, Lin Qianru could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and threw herself onto the bed, bursting into tears.


    The sound of her crying was heart-wrenching.


    She really didn’t want to return to Hang City; to her, it was like Hell on Earth.


    Returning to Hang City would mean the disintegration of the happiness she had just found. Although Lu Tianxing had promised to apany her back, the Tan Family in Hang City was a colossal force. She sincerely didn’t want to risk Lu Tianxing’s life for her sake; stepping into Hang City would almost certainly be fatal for him.


    She truly didn’t want to return to Hang City, but if she didn’t, her rtives would surely die. Tan Heng, a debauchee throughout, was ruthless and heartless, and would definitely not spare her family.


    "Tianxing, what should I do, tell me, what should I do? I really don’t want to go back, but I also don’t want to lose my family. Tianxing, tell me, what should I do, can you really help me escape the Tan Family?"


    Lin Qianru murmured softly, her eyes filled with pain, caught in a dilemma.


    At the Tan Family residence in Hang City.


    Tan Heng hung up the phone with a cold smirk. He had always treated women as ythings; how could he sincerely marry Lin Qianru? In his eyes, Lin Qianru was nothing more than a toy.


    He enjoyed seeing the expression of despair on a woman’s face the most; it added vor to his game. After toying with them, discarding them was the end—any crying or whining meant direct elimination. To the Tan Family, the death of one or two people was no big deal.


    "Young Master Tan, what did that bitch Lin Qianru say? Will shee back?"


    A young man with a sharp chin and monkey-like cheeks was ingratiatingly standing next to Tan Heng, his face adorned with a ttering smile.


    "Don’t worry, she wille back."


    A fierce glint shed through Tan Heng’s eyes.


    "Then, Young Master Tan, about the matter you promised me?" the young man hesitated and asked.


    "Rest assured, once I’m tired of her, I’ll reward her to you, and moreover, I will make you the Family Head of the Lin Family."


    "Thank you, Young Master Tan, thank you so much."


    The young man’s eyes lit up, ingratiatingly said, "Young Master Tan, I heard that Tianyun Pavilion received a lot of new items today, and they are all brand new. Would you like to go check it out? My treat."


    Tan Heng’s eyes brightened, "Let’s go, let’s have a look."


    ...


    Lu Tianxing had no idea about Lin Qianru’s situation. Had he known, he probably wouldn’t have hesitated; he would have rushed to Hang City, ughtered Tan Heng first, and wiped out the Tan Family then and there.


    After leaving Lin Qianru’s house, Lu Tianxing immediately hung up the phone, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Qingquan Vi.


    Qingquan Vi District is a wealthy area in Modu, nestled between mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. Almost all the influential and powerful people in Modu own a vi there. At one point, Modu even experienced a Qingquan trend, where owning even the simplest vi in Qingquan Vi District was considered highly prestigious.


    The vi Rose purchased was located here.


    Half an hourter, the taxi stopped a hundred meters away from the Qingquan Vi District on the road.


    "Sir, I’m sorry, but no taxis are allowed within a hundred meters of Qingquan Vi District. Otherwise, it will be treated as an intrusion and dealt with ordingly, sorry about that." the driver said to Lu Tianxing.


    "No problem."


    After paying the fare, Lu Tianxing got out of the taxi and saw a cold-looking woman standing at the gate of the vi district.


    This woman wasn’t very beautiful, but she radiated a coldness. It wasn’t the type of coldness Bai Zhiqing exhibited; it was more a lifeless disregard for life after having killed. Her eyes were expressionless, looking at everyone as if they were dead.


    Seeing Lu Tianxing get out of the taxi, Wu Yan immediately walked up to him: "Son-inw, you’ve arrived. My big sister is waiting for you in the vi, please follow me."


    Wu Yan made a gesture to invite him in and then led the way.


    Lu Tianxing looked around with interest at this famous wealthy area of Modu, realizing that money indeed boughtfort and immense fear of death.


    The entire vi district was heavily secured, not only with alert infrared and surveince cameras but even invisible sentries with live ammunition—guards who had seen blood. Despite having walked less than a hundred meters, Lu Tianxing felt icy chillsnding on him several times.


    It was the sensation of being targeted by a sniper rifle, but the feeling was fleeting, evidently the distant sentry confirming an identity.


    Rose’s vi was located in the center of Qingquan Vi District. Tworge stone lions full of imposing aura red at allers. Entering the gates, one was greeted by a straight pathway nearly a hundred meters long before reaching the vi, nked by high mountains and flowing waters, nted with various precious nts—extremelyvish.


    Even the sharp-eyed Lu Tianxing spotted an animal in a secluded corner with a ’King’ character on its head.


    Lu Tianxing was taken aback; it was his first visit to Qingquan Vi, and he didn’t expect Rose to be so bold as to keep a tiger in her vi.


    Wu Yan led Lu Tianxing through the hundred-meter-long pathway, straight into the hall. "Son-inw, please have a seat for a moment. Your big sister is upstairs, she wille down soon, please wait."


    After making tea for Lu Tianxing, Wu Yan turned around and left the room.


    Feeling bored, Lu Tianxing wandered around the hall, admiring the antique ced in the hall by Rose, specting what Rose was doing upstairs—was she taking a shower, and should he volunteer to y the role of a bath attendant for free?


    But remembering how Rose had fooled himst time, he immediately gave up the idea. What if she was ying a trick on him again?


    While roaming around the living room, admiring the valuable antiques, about ten minutester, Lu Tianxing suddenly heard the sound of high heels hitting the floor near his ears. He instinctively looked up toward the source of the sound and was immediately transfixed, unable to look away.


    He saw Rose steadying herself on the stair railing, slowly walking down from upstairs. She was wearing a flight attendant’s outfit, one size too small, entuating her figure enticingly, and even as Rose moved, glimpses of a wonderful sight were barely perceptible.


    Purple!


    Lu Tianxing nodded firmly in his heart, sure he couldn’t be wrong, and guaranteed on his honor that he had seen correctly.
