Chapter 761: The Building Collapses in an Instant!
Qin Yimo stood in place, stunned for several seconds.
Then, she came back to her senses, the blush on her cheeks becoming more obvious.
“Grandpa, he doesn’t give me any chance at all…” Qin Yimo muttered softly.
…
At the Lu family home, there was dead silence.
Even though Fang Yu had left long ago, the dark clouds and fear he created still lingered over the Lu family.
Lu Qi sat in the main seat of the great hall, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
The other core members of the Lu family sat on both sides of the hall.
With Lu Qi not speaking, no one else dared to speak either.
After a while, Lu Chuyue stood up, walked in front of Lu Qi, and asked with a trembling voice: “Dad, was what you said earlier true? Do I… really have to separate from Tang Cong?”
Hearing this question, Lu Qi raised his eyes to look at Lu Chuyue, the ferocity in his gaze frightening her into taking two steps back.
“You dare to mention him!?” Lu Qi asked, suppressing his anger.
“I, I don’t want to separate from Tang Cong, I truly like him…” Lu Chuyue said, her eyes reddening.
“Bang!”
Lu Qi violently slammed the table beside him, and the entire table immediately shattered.
“Are you treating my words as nonsense?” Lu Qi stood up angrily and said, “I told you early on to stay away from that boy. He’s just a nobody from the secular world, what makes him worthy of you?”
“You didn’t listen, fine, so I reluctantly went along with you and let you get married.”
“But now things have come to this, and you still dare to mention him!? Do you know how much he has cost our Lu family? Fourteen elites, ten Yuan Ying stage, four Hua Shen stage! Nine of them had their cultivation crippled, and five others were seriously injured and cannot recover in the short term!”
Lu Chuyue was shouted down to the ground, looking at the enraged Lu Qi in terror.
The others present also trembled in their hearts.
With one person’s power, easily crippling so many Yuan Ying and Hua Shen stage cultivators…
No wonder Lu Qi had them kneel on the ground… so that Fang Yu was such a powerful figure!
At this moment, Lu Qi was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, completely inconsistent with his usually calm and composed image.
He was truly too angry.
Having just suffered such a great humiliation, almost facing family extinction!
All of this, traced to its root, was because of that damned Tang Cong, that damned Tang family!
If it weren’t for these bastards, how would the Lu family have attracted a fierce god like Fang Yu!?
Yet Lu Chuyue still dared to come forward and mention the culprit Tang Cong!
“I’m telling you, from today on, the Tang family is completely finished,” Lu Qi glared at Lu Chuyue and said. “If the Tang family survives, our Lu family won’t!”
“From now on, if you dare to contact Tang Cong once more and I find out, you’ll be punished by family law!”
“Also, don’t think about finding others to help you pass messages! Whoever dares to help you once will have their cultivation crippled and be expelled from the family!”
After speaking, Lu Qi flicked his sleeve and walked out of the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, Lu Qi turned around and said: “If you don’t want the Lu family to become the laughingstock of the North Capital martial arts world, don’t let today’s matter spread outside! Understand?”
With that, Lu Qi left the hall.
The entire hall was dead silent, everyone’s face extremely pale.
Especially Lu Chuyue, sitting on the ground, her body violently trembling.
She never dreamed that a decision she made last night would cause such serious consequences.
Had she known, she would never have sent people to assassinate Fang Yu…
…
Fang Yu returned to his mansion, came to the bamboo building, and smelled a fragrant aroma.
Ye Shengxue was carrying dishes and placing them on the dining table on the first floor.
“Mr. Fang, you’ve come back just in time,” Ye Shengxue smiled gently and said, “I’ve just finished cooking.”
“I timed my return perfectly, of course it’s just right,” Fang Yu said.
By this time, little Fengling was already sitting properly at the dining table, chopsticks in hand.
Fang Yu walked up and patted the back of Fengling’s head.
“You’re a spirit artifact freeloading meals, and you still act like a big shot without helping?” Fang Yu asked.
“I don’t know how to cook, how can I help…” Fengling said pitifully.
“You can at least carry dishes and serve rice, right? I think you’re just lazy,” Fang Yu said.
“Sister Fengling wanted to help just now, but I refused,” Ye Shengxue came out from the kitchen and explained softly.
“See? Sister Shengxue never lies,” Fengling said proudly.
Although in terms of years of existence, Fengling was indeed much older than Ye Shengxue.
But their mental ages… this form of address was still awkward.
However, Fang Yu didn’t want to interfere with how they addressed each other.
“Let’s eat.”
Ye Shengxue brought a bowl of rice, and Fang Yu immediately lowered his head and started eating without another word.
When it came to competing for dishes, Fengling was no match for Fang Yu.
In just two short minutes, all three dishes on the table were emptied.
Fengling had only managed to take food twice and now sat in her chair with a resentful look, staring at Fang Yu.
…
That afternoon, news exploded like a bomb throughout the secular world of North Capital.
The engagement banquet of the Tang and Lu families scheduled for next week was canceled!
At the same time, the Lu family issued a statement saying they had no further relationship with the Tang family.
This news spread throughout the entire North Capital secular world in just one hour.
For the vast majority of families, this was extremely good news.
Although they didn’t know the reason, from the current outcome, it seemed the Tang family had failed to secure a powerful backer!
“I said it early on, the Tang family wanting to marry into a martial arts family? Not a chance!”
“They must have had a disagreement on some terms…”
“Who cares what happened, from today on, the Tang family has been put back in their place!”
The attitudes of the major families toward this matter were all schadenfreude, with no one feeling any regret.
…
Inside the Tang family mansion, the atmosphere was as somber as a funeral.
Tang Dehui was in his study, smashing everything in sight.
His wife Jiang Heyue and many core Tang family members stood outside the door, faces pale, not daring to enter.
Since the Lu family issued that statement, the Tang family’s once bright future instantly turned dark.
They had severed ties with the Qin family and afterward found many new business partners.
Most of these partners had chosen the Tang family only out of consideration for the Lu family.
Now hearing that the marriage alliance between the Lu and Tang families had failed… these partners, taking advantage of not having signed contracts yet, all distanced themselves from the Tang family.
Within half an hour after the Lu family issued their statement, more than a dozen families called to cancel cooperation with the Tang family.
For the Tang family, this was simply a disaster.
They had forcibly terminated their cooperation with the Qin family unilaterally before, requiring them to pay large amounts in breach of contract penalties.
At the same time, due to the Qin family’s withdrawal, they had more or less experienced major problems in their capital chain, especially yesterday, when Tang Cong had spent over 800 million in cash at the auction.
That was the Tang family’s last sum of money!
But before Tang Cong spent this money, he had called Tang Dehui to ask.
At that time, Tang Dehui had agreed because he felt that pleasing Lu Chuyue was the most important thing, and over 800 million… could be earned back easily in the future.
He never imagined that in less than twenty-four hours, everything would be turned upside down!
“Damn it! Damn it!” Tang Dehui was in his study, frantically pounding the floor with his fists, his eyes bloodshot.
Just then, his phone rang in his pocket.
Tang Dehui, breathing heavily, took out his phone, looked at the number, and answered the call.
“Mr. Tang, I’m calling from First Hospital… just now, young master Tang Cong was attacked… he’s currently in emergency care.” From the other end of the phone came the terrified voice of a nurse.
Hearing this news, recalling Lu Qi’s vow at the Lu family home to make the Tang family collapse…
Tang Dehui was suddenly anxious, angry, and terrified all at once, his eyelids fluttered, and he fainted.
“Family head…”
The Tang family core members outside rushed in immediately.
In the evening, another piece of news spread throughout the North Capital secular world.
Tang Cong, the second young master of the Tang family who was recovering in the hospital due to injuries, had been attacked and suffered severe wounds, dying despite emergency treatment.
Once this news came out, the entire North Capital secular world was in an uproar!
The morning’s news only indicated that the marriage alliance between the Tang and Lu families had failed.
But with Tang Cong, the key figure in the alliance, being killed… this indicated that the sudden deterioration in relations between the two families had much more to it!
Very likely, the Tang family had offended some important figure in the Lu family!
