Chapter 2002: Chapter 1975: Scheming
"Alright, Elder Qiu, let’s proceed according to the plan."
Upon hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "By the way, have Miss Qiu and Lingling go back. I’ll arrange people to protect them in secret. Then, we’ll just wait for the fish to take the bait."
"Got it, Mr. Lu, what about you?"
"Me?"
Lu Tianxing smiled faintly, "Of course, we’ll also cooperate in an act, making them think we’ve fallen out. That way, they’ll be more convinced that we’ve really torn apart."
"Alright, let’s do it as you say, Mr. Lu."
Qiu Zhengfeng smiled slightly and then suddenly gave Lu Tianxing a forceful push. His face turned vicious as he began to shout at Lu Tianxing furiously, looking extremely angry.
Lu Tianxing also looked extremely displeased and started a fierce argument with Qiu Zhengfeng. Even Qiu Yingrong, who had been in the ward comforting Lingling to sleep, stepped out and watched her grandfather trembling all over and Lu Tianxing struggling to hide his cold demeanor. Her expression flashed with a hint of confusion.
Just a while ago, they were fine going out together; how did they suddenly start arguing, and so intensely?
"Grandpa, Tianxing, you guys... "
Just as Qiu Yingrong was about to speak, Qiu Zhengfeng interrupted, saying, "Yingrong, don’t say anything."
With those words, Qiu Zhengfeng continued to focus his gaze on Lu Tianxing, saying, "Third Young Master of Lu Family, spare me your crocodile tears. If it weren’t for you, how could my grandson end up like this? It’s all because of you... "
"Because of me?"
Lu Tianxing cut off Qiu Zhengfeng, sneering, "Qiu Zhengfeng, I saved your grandson’s life. Had it not been for me, your grandson would already be dead. You’re biting the hand that feeds you, unable to appreciate kindness. Don’t assume I care about your Qiu Family. Let me tell you, in my eyes, your Qiu Family is just an ant; I can crush it at any time."
As soon as Lu Tianxing finished speaking, Qiu Zhengfeng’s voice, filled with rage, came over, "Then try it! Even if we’re wiped out, the Qiu Family can still bite a piece off of you."
"Is that so? There will be opportunities in the future. I will show you with facts that the Qiu Family is just an ant."
Lu Tianxing sneered, no longer speaking a word, and turned away in anger.
"Tianxing... "
Qiu Yingrong instinctively tried to call out to Lu Tianxing, hoping to understand what had just happened between him and her grandfather.
But before Qiu Yingrong could say anything, Qiu Zhengfeng interrupted again, saying, "What’s the point of yelling? Do you think the Qiu Family amounts to nothing without him?"
"But Grandpa, he just saved... "
"So what."
Qiu Zhengfeng snorted coldly, "We don’t need to worry about him. The Qiu Family doesn’t need anyone’s help; we can handle this matter ourselves."
With that, Qiu Zhengfeng stormed toward the ward.
Meanwhile, Qiu Yingrong stood in place, watching her grandfather’s back, then looked in the direction Lu Tianxing had disappeared. She sighed softly, not knowing what her grandfather and Lu Tianxing had said, but from their expressions, it was clear they were both angry. Whatever she might say would probably be futile. The best approach was to wait until both of them calmed down.
"Let’s wait for Tianrui to get through the dangerous period and explain to Tianxing tomorrow!"
Qiu Yingrong sighed deeply, took one last look in the direction Lu Tianxing left, and headed back toward the ward.
On the other side, Lu Tianxing stormed off, passing through the curious gazes of nurses and doctors. He entered the elevator with anger and went straight to the underground parking lot. Getting into a BMW, he left the hospital without pausing.
However, Lu Tianxing didn’t notice that after he left, a man dressed as a doctor emerged from a corner of the parking lot. He fixed his gaze in Lu Tianxing’s direction before pulling out a phone and dialing.
The phone rang briefly before being answered quickly. The clear voice of a woman came through, "What happened? Is there any news from the hospital?"
When the man heard the woman’s voice, he spoke without hesitation, "Just received word that Qiu Zhengfeng and Lu Tianxing got into an argument over something, and Lu Tianxing stormed off in his car."
"Are you sure you heard correctly? Lu Tianxing really argued with Qiu Zhengfeng?"
"Yes, they really did argue, and it escalated to the point of nearly breaking ties."
The man spoke quickly, "Moreover, Qiu Zhengfeng declared he would let Lu Tianxing try targeting the Qiu Family, even if it means exhausting everything, to bite a piece off him... "
The man recounted the entire corridor argument between Qiu Zhengfeng and Lu Tianxing.
"Are you certain this is true?"
"Absolutely certain."
The man said firmly, "Just now, Lu Tianxing stormed off in his car from the hospital."
After the man’s words, the phone remained silent for a while before a voice came through, "I understand. Keep an eye on Qiu Zhengfeng at the hospital. If they make any moves, report to me immediately, understood?"
"Yes, understood."
Then the man disguised as a doctor hung up the phone, looked around, and walked straight to the elevator without pausing.
Meanwhile, having already left the private club after Wu Shaochang’s death, Zhang Yue sat in a car, holding a freshly disconnected phone. Her face showed an indecisive glow. If Lu Tianxing and Qiu Zhengfeng fell out, it would be perfect for her. This way, she could execute her plan more perfectly, leaving people no choice but to believe the rumors she previously spread were true.
However, if it’s all an act by Lu Tianxing and Qiu Zhengfeng to lure the adversary out, and she chooses to target Qiu Tianrui now, she would fall into Lu Tianxing’s trap, potentially ruining all her plans, and she herself might be caught in peril.
But if it’s all true and she lets such a great opportunity slip away, then killing Lu Tianxing would require considerable effort.
