Chapter 784: Investigating Fang Yu!?
Three days ago, a large group from the Tang family came directly to the association, demanding a thorough investigation. They claimed that the Lu family had sent people to assassinate Tang Cong.” Pan Yushan continued, “They caused a commotion for an entire afternoon. When I went downstairs, I happened to meet them face to face and promised to give them a reasonable investigation result.”
“Isn’t that resolved then?” Luo Hao smiled.
“I’ve been busy with other matters these past few days, and only remembered this issue when we started this meeting today… As for the investigation… it’s not that simple.” Pan Yushan said, “The secular world is paying attention to this matter, so we definitely can’t just brush it off, but on the other hand, we’re dealing with a martial arts family… which is difficult to handle.”
“I brought this up to gather everyone’s wisdom and ask how we should proceed.”
After finishing, Pan Yushan picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of water, and glanced at everyone present.
Fang Yu remained silent, Du Teng lowered his head playing with his phone, and the bald elder Fu Sheng kept his head down looking at documents.
Pan Yushan showed a helpless expression and continued: “This matter involves a martial arts family and must be handled by someone at our level to resolve the problem… but I’ve been busy with other things lately. I want to ask which of my colleagues is willing to take over this matter?”
“I’ve also been busy preparing for the martial arts gathering…” Luo Hao immediately said.
Fu Sheng raised the documents in his hand and waved them without saying anything.
Only Du Teng and Fang Yu didn’t respond.
Pan Yushan looked at Fang Yu.
“I don’t have much to do. Leave this matter to me,” Fang Yu said.
Pan Yushan smiled and said, “Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Fang.”
After resolving this issue, the next content of the meeting was about coordination in various areas.
From the situation at the conference table, Pan Yushan seemed to be the one with the most power, as many matters were announced by him.
In the absence of the chairman surnamed Wang, Pan Yushan appeared to have become the acting chairman.
As for the other three, Luo Hao seemed normal and had a good relationship with Pan Yushan.
The bald elder Fu Sheng kept looking down at the documents in his hand, revealing little.
What concerned Fang Yu most was Du Teng.
Du Teng seemed indifferent to everything, with an expressionless face, playing with his phone throughout the meeting.
Pan Yushan also seemed accustomed to this behavior, not even glancing at Du Teng once.
“The relationship between these people is quite interesting,” Fang Yu, as an observer, had been quietly observing the group’s expressions.
Soon, the meeting ended.
“Brother Fang, don’t rush off when you finish this afternoon. Since you just took office today, I should at least treat you to some drinks and entertainment,” Pan Yushan walked up to Fang Yu and said with a smile.
“Alright, I won’t be polite then,” Fang Yu responded.
Soon, each vice-chairman left with their assistants.
Only Du Teng remained seated in his original place, head down playing with his phone.
Fang Yu looked at Du Teng, slightly frowning, but said nothing and turned to leave the meeting room.
…
In the afternoon, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze left the association, leading a small team to the Lu family.
After all, with his current identity as vice-chairman, he needed to fulfill his promises.
The matter of the Lu family sending people to assassinate Tang Cong needed an investigation result, otherwise the Tang family wouldn’t let it go.
Before Fang Yu left the association, Pan Yushan came once more and said to him: “I’m afraid that since you just took office, you might not be clear about the situation… When investigating the Lu family, just go through the motions. Regardless of the outcome, we cannot offend a martial arts family for the sake of a secular family.”
Fang Yu nodded to show he understood.
At around two-thirty in the afternoon, Fang Yu arrived at the Lu family.
Lu Qi, along with core family members, came directly to the gate to welcome Fang Yu.
“Lord Fang!” Lu Qi approached with a smile.
“They even notified them in advance that we were coming to the Lu family, they’re really afraid we might discover something…” Fang Yu said to Zheng Ze beside him with a smile.
“He’s making it so we can only come here for show,” Zheng Ze said softly.
At this moment, Lu Qi walked up.
“Lord Fang, I am Lu Qi, the head of the Lu family. Please come in for tea first,” Lu Qi smiled.
The smile on Lu Qi’s face seemed forced.
It was clear that he wasn’t actually welcoming Fang Yu’s arrival.
However, this was understandable.
Being visited by the Martial Arts Association under suspicion of assassination would be embarrassing for any martial arts family.
“No need for tea, I’m just here to ask about something,” Fang Yu said.
“Oh? What questions does Lord Fang have? Feel free to ask,” Lu Qi said.
“Was Tang Cong from the Tang family killed by people you sent?” Fang Yu asked directly.
“Of course not, that’s slander from the Tang family,” Lu Qi immediately denied without changing his expression.
“I heard that your families were originally planning a marriage alliance, but it was suddenly canceled… and you even became enemies. Why is that?” Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“Various reasons… sigh, it’s hard to explain. Lord Fang, I assure you that we had nothing to do with Tang Cong’s matter. As for the Tang family’s slander, I don’t want to pursue it… but if they claim we did it, they should provide evidence,” Lu Qi said with a gloomy face.
“They indeed haven’t provided evidence, but the main issue is the timing, which is a bit suspicious,” Fang Yu said calmly. “The announcement was made that afternoon, and Tang Cong was assassinated that night…”
“That’s precisely why our suspicion should be less! Knowing the timing was suspicious, how could we possibly send someone to assassinate Tang Cong?” Lu Qi argued.
“When you put it that way, it does make some sense,” Fang Yu said, stroking his chin and pretending to think.
Yesterday, Qin Yimo had mentioned that the Tang family was completely finished and posed no threat to the Qin family.
Therefore, Fang Yu didn’t care about this matter at all.
Whether the Lu family had done this or not, he didn’t need to know the truth.
Fang Yu was just completing the task Pan Yushan had given him, going through the motions.
“In that case…” Fang Yu was about to say some official words and then leave.
But at that moment, a voice came from behind.
“It was a man named Fang Yu who did it! He killed Tang Cong!”
Fang Yu looked back and saw Lu Chuyue, looking extremely haggard, running out from behind.
Lu Qi’s expression changed as he turned to look at Lu Chuyue, glaring and saying sternly: “What are you doing out here!? What nonsense are you talking about!?”
“Sir, please investigate that Fang Yu! He’s the one who assassinated Tang Cong!” Lu Chuyue said through gritted teeth.
This left Fang Yu stunned.
How did this suddenly get pinned on him?
Beside him, Zheng Ze was equally confused.
“Lord Fang, my daughter has not been well mentally lately. Please ignore what she says,” Lu Qi immediately explained.
“Lord Fang…” Lu Chuyue looked up at Fang Yu, a flash of confusion in her eyes.
She felt that the eyes of this Lord Fang before her seemed familiar.
On Fang Yu’s side, noticing Lu Chuyue’s gaze, his heart stirred.
Could it be that his disguise had been seen through?
That seemed impossible.
“Get back inside!” Lu Qi glared at Lu Chuyue angrily.
Lu Chuyue came back to her senses and said, “Lord Fang, please investigate this person Fang Yu! He’s very close to the Qin family! You can find him at the Qin family!”
“Slap!” Lu Qi struck Lu Chuyue across the face.
Lu Chuyue fell to the ground, covering her bleeding lip, defiantly glaring back at Lu Qi.
Lu Qi trembled with anger.
The psychological shadow that Fang Yu had cast over him that day still hadn’t dissipated.
Yes, he had sent people to deal with Tang Cong, to completely sever Lu Chuyue’s connection with Tang Cong.
After learning about this, Lu Chuyue had locked herself in her room for several days.
Now she suddenly came out and directed the blame toward Fang Yu, something Lu Qi had never anticipated.
How could they provoke a powerful figure like Fang Yu!?
Even if the Martial Arts Association went to find Fang Yu, they certainly couldn’t do anything to him… In the end, he would definitely figure out the whole thing and come back to make trouble for the Lu family!
By then, the situation would only be worse than it is now!
“Take her back!” Lu Qi shouted at the people beside him, his eyes bloodshot.
Immediately, two people came forward and escorted Lu Chuyue back to the Lu family.
As she was being taken away, Lu Chuyue kept her gaze fixed on Fang Yu.
The more she looked, the more she felt that this Lord Fang before her… was similar in some ways to Fang Yu, whom she hated most…
“Lord Fang, my daughter…” Lu Qi’s face turned pale as he tried to explain.
