<h4>Chapter 578: Chapter 574 Preparing to Enter the Tan Family</h4>


    Perhaps sensing Lin Qianru’s worry, Lu Tianxing gently took her into his arms,forting her, "I know you’re worried that I might encounter an ambush from the Tan Family when I go there tomorrow. Don’t worry, since I’ve decided to follow you back to Hang City, I’m not afraid of retaliation from the Tan Family. If they don’t know any better, I wouldn’t mind giving them a few more coffins to fill. Your primary goal is to get plump and healthy. I wouldn’t want to meet your parents and have them think you’ve lost weight because they might believe I’ve mistreated you."


    Lin Qianru’s eyes reddened slightly as she tried hard not to cry out loud.


    "Rest assured! From tomorrow onwards, your nightmare will vanish into thin air, and no one will ever be able to bully you again. Your skies will clear, and the moon will shine through."


    Lu Tianxing gently caressed Lin Qianru’s cheeks.


    "Yes! I believe you."


    Lin Qianru nodded firmly and lifted her head to kiss Lu Tianxing’s lips without reservation.


    A kiss tost till the end of time.


    This kiss represented Lin Qianru’s absolute trust in Lu Tianxing.


    This kiss signified Lin Qianru’smitment of her entire being to Lu Tianxing.


    ...


    At the same time, Lin Qianru had returned to Hang City with her boyfriend, had beaten up Tan Heng’s men, and had dered that she would personally visit the Tan Family Courtyard tomorrow morning to bring back her father-inw, warning that if a single hair on her inws’ heads was harmed, she would unleash a bloodbath upon the Tan Family, adding several more coffins to their collection.


    If such a im were made up out of thin air, perhaps nobody would believe it. However, it was Lin Anwu, the Lin Family’s own, who spread the word, making it all the more credible, especially since it was Lin Anwu himself who personally took Lin Qianru’s parents to the Tan Family.


    What’s more crucial was that Lin Anwu was now Tan Family’sckey. There’s an old saying that when you beat a dog, you must watch its master. Yet, Lu Tianxing had unceremoniously beaten Lin Anwu, akin to pping them in the face. For the Tan Family, who had long reigned supreme in Hang City, this was a humiliating affront.


    Hang City Tan Family.


    "Bang."


    In the living room, an elderly man with a lined face mmed his hand on the table, his eyes dark and brooding. It had been many years since anyone had dared to provoke the Tan Family. Yet now, someone had the audacity to threaten a bloodbath. It was a direct challenge to the Tan Family.


    "This is outrageous, Grandfather. We must not let them off lightly. I will go and ughter Lin Zhanpeng and the others right now. I’ll make that dirty bitch Lin Qianru regret it for the rest of her life."


    Next to the old man, Tan Heng’s eyes contained an extreme chill. Ever since Lin Qianru returned to Hang City with her boyfriend, Tan Heng had be aughingstock in the city. His fiancée had brought another man back, which was akin to unting a cuckold’s horns over his head.


    "No rush; if he’sing to the Tan Family Courtyard tomorrow to take Lin Zhanpeng away, then we will kill him then. I want to use their blood to warn all the forces in Hang City with ulterior motives that my Tan Family’s dignity in Hang City shall not be tread upon."


    The elder’s gaze shed, his eyes glittering with a fierce murderous intent, like a venomous snake.


    "Yes, Grandfather. I understand, and I will arrange it personally. I will make sure they can’t even enter the Tan Family Courtyard," Tan Heng said, his voice carrying a sinisterugh.


    "Leave it to you, but don’t kill them. I want them alive. Tomorrow, every influential figure in Hang City wille to the Tan Family to send their greetings. I will execute them in front of everyone, as a warning to others," said the elder, the glint in his eyes as menacing as a serpent’s. He was set on using the blood of the Lin Family to warn all those harboring ill intentions in Hang City. In Hang City, the Tan Family was the Emperor, and no one dared defy the Tan Family’s orders. Whoever crossed them only had death to face.


    Upon hearing his grandfather’s words, a smile spread across Tan Heng’s face. Heughed boisterously, "Grandfather, your foresight is profound. Tomorrow, the Tan Family Courtyard will be the Lin Family’s burial ground."


    ...


    Early in the morning, as the first sliver of sunlight appeared over the horizon, Lu Tianxing had already opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling with a content smile on his lips.


    By his side, Lin Qianru’s rhythmic breathing sounded softly in his ear. Her long, beautiful legs unabashedly rested on his body, her arms tightly wrapped around his arm, as shey peacefully on his chest like an obedient kitten, deep in sleep, her lips slightly curving upward in what seemed to be a pleasant dream.


    Listening to Lin Qianru’s breaths and feeling her delicate skin on his body, Lu Tianxing’s smile became even more radiant, as he recalled Lin Qianru’s wildness from the night before.


    Last night, as if moved by Lu Tianxing, Lin Qianru had transformed into a fiery seductress, daring to try every move, even those positions she usually refused, experimenting with each one.


    As the memories of Lin Qianru’s wildness from the night before flooded his mind, Lu Tianxing felt an uncontroble surge of desire, wishing for another intense match.


    Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, pressing down the evil fire in his heart. Today was the day to go to the Tan Family, so it was better not to continue; otherwise, it would be bad if Lin Qianru couldn’t get out of bed.


    Lying in bed, Lu Tianxing gently embraced Lin Qianru, pondering over his next moves.


    Although he hadn’t had much interaction with Tan Heng, fromst night’s recounting by Lin Qianru and Nanny Huang’s words, it was clear that Tan Heng was a ruthless character in Hang City—a venomous snake that you either kill with a stick or live in constant fear of its sudden appearance.


    Moreover, Lin Qianru’s parents were still at the Tan Family. This time, not only did he want to tear apart the nightmare that Lin Qianru had endured for several years, but he also wanted to take her parents with him. More importantly, he had to eliminate future trouble; otherwise, what would happen to Lin Qianru’s parents if the Tan Family decided to act against them after he left Hang City.


    "Since conventional methods won’t work, then let’s solve it with violence, dering to everyone that the Lin Family is under my protection. But, to prevent any mishaps, I still need to seek help from an old friend. That way, even if the Tan Family tries to use official means, they won’t be able to touch me."


    A gleam of light shed through Lu Tianxing’s eyes as he reached for his phone on the bedside table. With a look of reminiscence, he sent out a message filled with special symbols, relying on his memory.


    At that moment, Lin Qianru’s body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly opened. Seeing Lu Tianxing so close, a tender smile appeared on her face, "Why did you wake up so early?"


    "Of course, today is the day to wee my inws home. I have to get up early to make a good impression. If they are pleased, they might even let you marry me without a dowry," Lu Tianxing said with a chuckle.


    "Nonsense."


    Lin Qianru gave Lu Tianxing a re and said, "Hurry and get up, or you’ll let Nanny Huangugh at us."


    "What’s there to fear? You are my wife; it’s no big deal." Lu Tianxing shrugged nonchntly.


    "I don’t have time for you."


    Lin Qianru brushed away Lu Tianxing’s mischievous hand that was on her body and got up from the bed without avoiding his gaze. Her perfect figure was clearly exposed to Lu Tianxing’s eyes, making his mouth water.


    Time passed, and soon it was well past ten.


    For Lu Tianxing, the passage of time wasn’t an issue, but for those powers that came to the Tan Family Courtyard to congratte the Tans, it was an agonizing wait.


    They received newsst night that Lin Qianru had returned to Hang City with her boyfriend and nned to personally visit today to take away her parents. So, they arrived at the Tan Family early to witness Lin Qianru’s boyfriend—who was audacious enough to challenge the Tan Family.


    Compared to the anticipation of others, the Tan Family members looked somber. They were not fools and understood perfectly well why these people hade to offer congrattions so early in the morning—to see if Lin Qianru’s boyfriend, this so-called new dragon across the river, could suppress their Tan Family. If he could, these people would likely switch their allegiance to Lu Tianxing immediately.


    Meanwhile, outside the Tan Family Courtyard, Lin Qianru had already driven there with Lu Tianxing. As the car stopped, her body couldn’t help but tremble, and she clutched Lu Tianxing’s arm tightly, her palms sweaty and herplexion pale.


    She trusted Lu Tianxing, but as they approached, she couldn’t help but feel a thrill of horror. The nearby Tan Family Courtyard seemed like a giant beast lying in wait, its gaping maw ready for them to walk into.


    "Tianxing."


    Lin Qianru softly called out.


    She knew in her heart that once Lu Tianxing stepped into the Tan Family, there could only be two oues: the first was that he would suppress the Tan Family and leave with her and her parents. The second was a disastrous defeat, with not one of them leaving the Tan Family alive.


    Seeing the fear and concern on Lin Qianru’s face, Lu Tianxing knew that the Tan Family was an eternal nightmare in this woman’s heart, possibly a nightmare from which she would never wake.


    However, at this moment, Lu Tianxing remained silent. He knew that words were useless now; the best way was to show her through actions that her boyfriend was the strongest and would personally tear apart this nightmare.


    "There’s no turning back now. Let’s get out of the car," Lu Tianxing said softly.


    Lin Qianru pursed her lips and finally nodded, opening the car door to step out.


    "Tianxing, shall we go in now?" Lin Qianru took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, not wanting to worry Lu Tianxing.


    "No rush, there’s one more thing to do. Once the item arrives, we’ll go in," Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette for himself, looked up at the Tan Family Courtyard not far away, and smiled as if the Tan Family was nothing in his eyes.
