strongChapter 1160: Chapter 1153: Coercion/strong

    Upon seeing his nephew’s leg being ruthlessly broken, Tang Fengxiao’s eyes zed with anger, his expression turned extremely grim. He looked at Lu Tianxing, who was facing away from the bar door, and spoke with a hint of murderous intent, “Sir, don’t you think you’ve gone a bit too far?”

    “Too far? I think I’ve been too lenient. He dared to poison my drink; it’s a miracle I didn’t kill him.”

    Lu Tianxing turned around, his expression cold as he looked at Tang Fengxiao.

    “Lu Tianxing, it’s you.”

    When he saw Lu Tianxing, Tang Fengxiao’s expression changed dramatically, and he wished he could p Tang Qing to death.

    If there’s anyone who’s been in the limelight in Jiangnan recently, it’s undoubtedly Lu Tianxing—Lu Tianzhan’s son, who single-handedly paved his bloody path into the Lu Family, killing everyone who tried to stop him, even eliminating anyone from families who dared to cause trouble for him. He annihted the Liang Family and has good rtions with the Beijing Mu Family, the Shen Family, and the Han Family. Even the Tang Family has to think twice before making a move against him, considering the wrath these families might unleash.

    Tang Fengxiao never imagined Tang Qing would offend Lu Tianxing. Isn’t that courting death?

    Hearing Tang Fengxiao’s words, a sharp glint shed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, and he sneered, “So you recognize me now.”

    At that moment, Tang Qing waspletely stunned, frozen in ce. Lu Tianxing—he was certainly not unfamiliar with the name. However, he never imagined that the person he’d casually provoked would be Lu Tianxing, the third young master of the Lu Family, whom his third uncle had repeatedly warned him not to antagonize.

    “Haha, Mr. Lu, you’re joking. Now that you’re so famous in Jiangnan, of course, I know.”

    After a brief shock, Tang Fengxiao quickly regained hisposure, nced at Tang Qing, and said, “Mr. Lu, I am Tang Fengxiao. This is my nephew and the son of my eldest brother, current Tang Family Patriarch, Tang Qing. I know he has offended you, but I hope you can show mercy and let him go for now. As a token of appreciation, I canpensate this youngdy with one billion for emotional damages.”

    Tang Fengxiao lowered his stance, although Mu Qingxue was wearing a mask, obscuring her appearance. However, from her stunning figure, it was clear that his nephew had been prompted by lust.

    “Tang Family? Why should I give face to the Tang Family? Do you think I’m afraid of the Tang Family? Or do you think you have me figured out?”

    Lu Tianxing inwardly sneered. Though Tang Fengxiao appeared to be lowering his stance and apologizing, there was a hint of aggressiveness and warning in his words; otherwise, he wouldn’t mention Tang Qing’s identity.

    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Tang Fengxiao furrowed his brows slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, “Mr. Lu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just saying it’s better to resolve hostilities than to keep them going. There’s no need to delve deeper into some matters; it’s not beneficial for anyone.”

    “You mean if I don’t relent today, the consequences will be serious?” Lu Tianxing remarked casually.

    “I wouldn’t dare.”

    Tang Fengxiao said ndly, “I’m merely suggesting to Mr. Lu that some matters shouldn’t be pursued too harshly. It’s not good for anyone involved. I know you’re from the Lu Family, but our Tang Family isn’tcking either.”

    Tang Fengxiao’s tone grew somewhat cold. If Lu Tianxing didn’t let Tang Qing off today, he wouldn’t mind confronting Lu Tianxing. Being merely at the Early-stage Mythical level, he didn’t consider it a real threat.

    “The Lu Family might not be able to deal with you, but what if you add my Mu Family to the mix?”

    At this moment, Mu Qingxue, who had been wearing a mask all along, suddenly took it off, revealing her stunning beauty, and coldly stared at Tang Fengxiao. “Your nephew tried to drug me. If it weren’t for Tianxing, what would have happened to me? I think you understand better than I do. You tell me, what would happen if the Mu Family found out about this?”

    Mu Qingxue, at this moment, resembled nothing like the feeble demeanor when around Lu Tianxing. Her icy appearance fully showcased the aura cultivated by a prominent family.

    Lu Tianxing nced at Mu Qingxue with slight astonishment, finding it hard to believe the transformation in Mu Qingxue. Always gentle when by his side, this strong demeanor was unforeseeable.

    “Mu Qingxue.”

    Upon seeing Mu Qingxue’s ineffably beautiful face, Tang Fengxiao trembled, his face turning even more unsightly, his anger instantly vanished, reced by shock and fear.

    At this moment, Tang Fengxiao felt an urge to choke Tang Qing to death and grind him into paste—he dared pay attention to Mu Qingxue, courting death.

    If Mu Qingxue were merely a singer, a celebrity, that would be forgivable. But Mu Qingxue isn’t just a performer; she’s the little princess of the Mu Family, the apple of Mr. Mu’s eye.

    Many have been attracted by her, but no one has ever dared use underhanded tactics against her. Once a small family fearlessly tried to drug her—before it seeded, the person involved died, and the furious Mu Family exterminated his entire family.

    Never in his wildest dreams would Tang Fengxiao think Tang Qing would dare drug Mu Qingxue. Knowing Tang Qing’s nature, it’s unimaginable what kind of poison he could use.

    For a moment, Tang Fengxiao tasted bitterness in his mouth, sweat covered his forehead. If the Mu Family learned Tang Qing drugged Mu Qingxue, it would explode—not only would Tang Qing die, but he too might perish, as a means to appease the Mu Family’s fury.

    “Miss Mu, this… this is a misunderstanding.”

    At this point, no longer resembling his earlier demeanor, Tang Fengxiao was filled with terror. If it were just the Mu Family alone, he wouldn’t be afraid, but add the Lu Family, and he dared not confront them.

    “Misunderstanding? So you mean to say that until the drugging is sessful, it’s not a misunderstanding, huh?”

    Lu Tianxing sneered, “Weren’t you quite arrogant earlier? Ready to take me on? Why not act now? Oh, right, I almost forgot—Mu Qingchuan is also in Suzhou. Should I call him and tell him his sister was almost drugged in a bar?”

    Listening in shock to Lu Tianxing’s words, Tang Fengxiao couldn’t help but shiver, his mouth opening wordlessly.

    “Mr. Lu, what do you want?” Tang Fengxiao asked solemnly.

    Lu Tianxingughed scornfully, “What do I want? Don’t you think it’s you who made the demand? Earlier, you were so aggressive, wanting to kill me. I’m really scared now. Why aren’t you acting now?”

    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, furious rage surged in Tang Fengxiao’s heart, but he dared not act rashly. Despite the Tang Family’s extraordinary weaponry and poisons potentially enabling them to kill Lu Tianxing, could he take such a risk?

    He dared not—he genuinely dared not!

    Killing Lu Tianxing and Mu Qingxue would be equivalent to enraging two major families. If they united, the entire Tang Family might be obliterated, especially in the face of the protective Old Master Lu, potentially leaving none alive in the Tang Family.

    Back when Lu Tianzhan died, Old Master Lu, armed alone, ughtered his way into Beijing—tales of rivers of blood are no exaggeration.
