Chapter 899: Rebellion (1)

It had to be said that Mu Tingfeng was very punctual. An hour later, without being off by a single minute or second, he started the car and rushed towards Lu Xiangtian’s house. Su Jifeng, who had finally gotten some sleep, was once again woken up by the shock and couldn’t stop complaining.

But even so, when the two of them rushed to the Lu family’s house, it was already early in the morning.

Lu Xiangtian actually didn’t sleep that night. After he returned from Zhao Youlin’s place, he immediately got someone to check on the orphan named Wanwan. He also checked the immigration records of this person in the past five years.

Of course, Lu Xiangtian couldn’t find this item because Zhao Youlin’s name had changed at that point. Moreover, she had never once left the country.

Lu Xiangtian still felt that it was not enough to get people to look up these photos, so he got people to take the pictures of the women in the necklace and compare them. He found girls in the country who were somewhat similar to the women in the photos and pulled up all their information.

It was obvious that this was a massive undertaking. Of course, Lu Xiangtian didn’t receive any particularly useful information that night. He just stayed in his bedroom and stroked the photo in the necklace over and over again. He looked at the girls in the picture over and over again and sat there for the whole night.

Early the next morning, he heard the butler spread the news that Mu Tingfeng and the Young Master of the Su family had rushed over together, saying that they had something urgent to talk to him about.

Lu Xiangtian did not want to see the two of them, but on second thought, he had just owed Zhao Youlin a favor. No matter what, Mu Tingfeng was still Zhao Youlin’s husband, so it did not make sense for him to reject them.

With that thought, Lu Xiangtian gave up the idea of shutting them out and asked the butler to bring them to the hall.

When Mu Tingfeng saw Lu Xiangtian, his face darkened. Su Jifeng, who was standing beside him, was frightened. He quickly stepped forward to block Mu Tingfeng and said to Lu Xiangtian with a smile, “Uncle Lu, long time no see.”

“It has been a long time. How is your father and your mother? The former master is doing well?”

“They are all good, very good.” Su Jifeng and Lu Xiangtian exchanged a few pleasantries. Seeing that Mu Tingfeng’s face was getting uglier and uglier, he quickly changed the topic before Mu Tingfeng could explode. He coughed and said, “Um, may I ask if you went to look for Ms. Zhao yesterday?”

Lu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and said frankly, “Yes, I went to look for Ms. Zhao yesterday. Is there a problem?”

“Um... after uncle Lu and Ms. Zhao finished talking yesterday...” Su Jifeng and Su He were both afraid of Lu Xiangtian. It was an instinctive fear of the strong since they had been in the underworld for a long time.

Although Mu Tingfeng knew that Lu Xiangtian was dangerous, he had nothing to be afraid of, since it was related to Zhao Youlin.

“What Jifeng wants to ask is this. Did you do anything you shouldn’t have done after seeing my wife?”

How could Lu Xiangtian not understand the hidden meaning behind Mu Tingfeng’s Words? He furrowed his brows and asked, “What’s wrong with Ms. Zhao?”

Su Jifeng was afraid that Mu Tingfeng would anger Lu Xiangtian if he spoke without thinking. He quickly interjected, “After Uncle Lu went to look for Ms. Zhao yesterday, Ms. Zhao went missing. He couldn’t get through to her, and no one saw where she went. Most importantly, Ms. Zhao didn’t come back last night. That’s when we thought...”

Before Su Jifeng could finish, Lu Xiangtian interrupted him. “Are you suspecting that I took Ms. Zhao away?”

After Lu Xiangtian said that, his cold eyes pierced toward Mu Tingfeng like sharp blades.

Mu Tingfeng looked at him fearlessly. Their eyes met in the air, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Poor Su Jifeng was caught in the middle, and he was in a dilemma. He could only brace himself and say awkwardly, “Er... Uncle Lu, don’t misunderstand. We didn’t mean that. It’s just that Ms. Zhao disappeared after meeting you yesterday. To put it bluntly, Uncle Lu should be the last person to see Ms. Zhao yesterday. We just want to ask you if there’s anything wrong around Ms. Zhao or Ms. Zhao after seeing Ms. Zhao yesterday. We want to see if we can learn anything.”

Su Jifeng’s words successfully averted the danger between the two of them.

Lu Xiangtian took one last look at Mu Tingfeng before he pulled his eyes away from him. A trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

“I did go to look for Ms. Zhao yesterday, but...”

“But?”

“But we separated soon after. I went home, and she should have gone back to the company.”

When Lu Xiangtian said this, Su Jifeng and Mu Tingfeng frowned and looked at each other. Apparently, they didn’t believe Lu Xiangtian’s words.

Lu Xiangtian saw their doubts. He chuckled and said, “If I really wanted to make things difficult for someone, I can just throw men at them until they are overwhelmed. I have an army. Or, if I find it troublesome, I can make it clean so that you won’t be able to find them even if you wanted to.”

Lu Xiangtian’s arrogant words made the two of them tremble. Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened in an instant.

However, when they calmed down, they had to admit that Lu Xiangtian was right. With his ability, if he really wanted to take Zhao Youlin away, he could just take her by force, or he could secretly have someone take her away without anyone knowing. There was no need for him to go by such a roundabout route. But if it wasn’t him... who else could it be?

Mu Tingfeng’s face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes were full of worry.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xiangtian recalled that he had brought Zhao Youlin out yesterday, but had not sent her back. Now that something had happened to Zhao Youlin, he could be considered to be partly responsible.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangtian sighed, he said in a deep voice, “Although I didn’t kidnap Ms. Zhao, I was the one who brought her out of the Zhao group. It was indeed my negligence to have brought her out without sending her back. Now that her whereabouts are unknown, I’m also responsible. How about this? I’ll send someone to follow you out and look around the area to see if we can find her. Have you tried adjusting the surveillance equipment in the area?”

“Of course, but the surveillance equipment in the area seems to be broken, just like... something that humans could break.”

Lu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard that. “It seems that the person who took Zhao Youlin didn’t want you to know his identity, or to stall for time, or even... to deliberately set us against each other.”
