<h4>Chapter 1061: Chapter 1055: Storms Gather in Jiangnan</h4>


    Beijing Yanhuang Group.


    Sima Lingyun sat on the sofa with an indifferent expression, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest of the chair, pondering something unknown.


    Suddenly, a pleasant ring from the phone on Sima Lingyun’s desk broke the silence. He nced at the caller ID and immediately answered it.


    Upon answering the call, Sima Lingyun instantly asked, "What’s the matter? Didn’t I tell you not to report to me unless something significant happens in Modu?"


    "Chief, didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on Lu Tianxing? News just came in that Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing have left Modu and are heading to Jiangnan Suzhou."


    A deep and hoarse voice came through the phone.


    "Are you sure the information is urate, that the Judge went to Suzhou?"


    On hearing this, Sima Lingyun’s brow furrowed immediately. Although he had long known that Lu Tianxing would go to Jiangnan Suzhou, he hadn’t expected it to be so soon.


    "I understand. Withdraw back from Modu, and remember to bring a woman named Xue Bing from the Modu Police Station to the Yanhuang Group. She will be our new team member."


    "Yes, Chief."


    After hanging up the phone, Sima Lingyun stood up from his chair, walked to the window, and looked out at the scenery, feeling a headacheing on.


    Lu Tianxing being part of the Jiangnan Lu Family is almost a certainty at this point, but the death of Lu Tianzhan back then was likely connected to someone within the Lu Family. Moreover, many families in Jiangnan, who were previously offended by Lu Tianzhan, have been restrained due to the Lu Family’s influence and dare not act.


    After more than twenty years, if they find out that Lu Tianzhan’s son survived and is returning to the Lu Family, they will undoubtedly make a move. Although they won’t act directly against the Lu Family, they will certainly try to prevent Lu Tianxing from returning. Given Lu Tianxing’s methods, it’s no surprise that he might turn Jiangnan upside down once he learns of these things.


    "Judge, I suddenly realize that leaving you in China is the biggest mistake of my life."


    Sima Lingyun muttered to himself in a low voice, then returned to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number: "Issue orders to all hidden groups in Jiangnan. Watch every movement of the major families in Jiangnan closely. I need to know every sign of any action in Jiangnan..."


    Meanwhile, in a vi in Beijing.


    Shen Manjun sat on the sofa with a frosty expression, while Uncle Shou stood respectfully by her side.


    "Uncle Shou, did the Intelligence Group confirm the news about Lu Tianxing going to Jiangnan?"


    "Yes, the Intelligence Group confirmed it several times. Lu Tianxing and his wife Bai Zhiqing got on the highway headed straight for Suzhou."


    Uncle Shou nodded and said, "Additionally, I suspect that Lu Tianxing is targeting the Jiangnan Lu Family."


    "Jiangnan Lu Family?"


    Shen Manjun frowned slightly, knowing what the Jiangnan Lu Family represented back then—a giant that once pressured many prestigious families in Beijing. If not for the incident with Lu Tianzhan, the Lu Family of today would be the unchallenged overlord in Beijing.


    "Yes, recently, there have been faint rumors in Jiangnan saying that Lu Tianxing is Lu Tianzhan’s son. I suspect that Lu Tianxing’s trip to Jiangnan might be to investigate this or to enter the Lu Family."


    Uncle Shou said gravely, "If Lu Tianxing is going to Jiangnan for this reason, it means he is in danger."


    Upon hearing this, Shen Manjun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. "What do you mean?"


    "Miss, you aren’t aware. ording to rumors, when Lu Tianzhan was killed back then, it was possibly an inside job from the Lu Family, luring Lu Tianzhan out of Beijing and ambushing him. If Lu Tianxing is Lu Tianzhan’s son, those who caused Lu Tianzhan’s death would certainly not want Lu Tianxing appearing at the Lu Family. The best way is topletely eradicate Lu Tianxing."


    Hearing Uncle Shou’s words, Shen Manjun frowned deeply, speaking in a serious tone, "Uncle Shou, do we have anyone in Jiangnan?"


    "Miss, you..."


    Without letting Uncle Shou finish, Shen Manjun interrupted directly: "Uncle Shou, I know you’re concerned about me, but Lu Tianxing is my man, and he saved Qiaoqiao’s life. I must help him. Send people to Jiangnan and keep an eye on every move there. If necessary, we will go to Jiangnan ourselves."


    "Miss, think twice about this. Doing so might bring you fatal trouble. Lu Tianxing’s enemies aren’t just the Lu Family; there are also families from Beijing who participated in the ambush on Lu Tianzhan, and a mysterious hand that once supported the Wang Family. If they know you’re involved, they will surely not spare you," Uncle Shou said with concern.


    "So what? The Shen Family has never been afraid of anyone."


    Shen Manjun stood up firmly and said, "Uncle Shou, I know you’re worried, but you also know the Shen Family’s situation—wolves are circling, and they have eyes on the Shen Family. Even if I don’t get involved this time, the Shen Family would not have an easy future. I want to take a gamble this time, not just for myself but for the Shen Family’s future. If we win, my Shen Family will face no threats within the next century. If we lose, it merely elerates the Shen Family’s fall."


    Meanwhile, at the Lu Family in Suzhou, the Old Master of Lu Family also received news of Lu Tianxing’s imminent arrival in Suzhou.


    Standing by the desk, Old Master Lu wielded his brush with dragon-like strokes, creating a beautiful piece of art—green hills and clear waters, vividly disying his exceptional painting skills.


    After the final stroke, Old Master Lu gently put down the brush and murmured softly, "Tianzhan, Hong Yan, I wronged you both back then. Now, your son is about to return to Suzhou. Rest assured, your son’s revenge will be pursued, even at the cost of my life. Whoever dares to touch my grandson will die."


    As his voice fell, a fierce killing intent shed across the Old Master Lu’s face, and an unseasonal chill seemed to invade the entire study.


    "Lu Family, I hope you do not let me know who was behind the plot against Tianzhan back then. If I find out, I won’t hesitate to cleanse the Lu Family with blood. The Lu Family has decayed; it’s time to wash it clean with fresh blood."


    Old Master Lu murmured, a glint of coldness in his eyes, as he grabbed the painting on the desk and gave it a slight toss. The painting instantly shattered into white fragments, like butterflies fluttering across the room.


    With Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing’s departure from Modu, most of China’s attention turned to Jiangnan, closely watching every move there. Everyone knew that once Lu Tianxing arrived in Jiangnan, it would stir up a storm, potentially sweeping across the south and even the entire nation.


    This event marked a change for Jiangnan. If victorious, Jiangnan might be the domain of the Lu Family. If not, one could only guess how many families would disappear from Jiangnan. One thing was certain: Jiangnan would be engulfed in bloody chaos during this period, life and death uncertain, with fate left at the mercy of the heavens.
