Chapter 584 - 580 Conflict
"Family Head Tan, do you think these people alone are enough to deal with me?"
Lu Tianxing swept his gaze indifferently over Tan Ran, a cold laugh escaping him as his eyes settled on Sun Buping: "So you are in charge this time. You want to side with the Tan Family against me? I advise you, there are matters where interference should be avoided, or a price must be paid. Understand?"
Feeling Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Sun Buping swallowed hard and instinctively stepped back. Lu Tianxing’s stare seemed like that of the Grim Reaper, devoid of any emotion. You could feel him smiling at you, yet perceive no smile at all, only an endless chill emerging from the depths of your heart.
"No... No mistake, I am indeed in charge this time."
After another gulp of saliva and a glance at the people behind him, Sun Buping took a breath and said, "Family Head Tan Ran reported that a villain trespassed into the Tan Family Courtyard, assaulted his grandson Tan Heng, and even killed members of the Tan Family. As the police, it is our duty to take you, Mr. Lu, back with us to assist in the investigation."
"Assist in the investigation?"
Lu Tianxing, uncompromising, chuckled coldly, "Director Sun, do you even believe that yourself? If I follow you, will I still have a chance to come out unscathed? If it were me lying on the ground today, would you take any of the Tan Family members back?"
After hearing this, Sun Buping’s face subtly changed. Lu Tianxing was right; if something had happened to Lu Tianxing, they certainly wouldn’t dare come because the Tan Family’s influence in Hang City was deeply entrenched. If he laid a finger on any member of the Tan Family, he wouldn’t even last till the next day; he’d have to pack up and leave.
"Director Sun, let me advise you, this isn’t something you can intervene in. This matter doesn’t concern you. Don’t rashly step into muddy waters and be used as a pawn unknowingly," Lu Tianxing said lightly.
After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a spike of anxiety stirred in Sun Buping’s heart, leaving him indecisive. He wasn’t a fool; since Lu Tianxing had brazenly broken into the Tan Family Courtyard and beaten them without them being able to fight back, even killing their enshrined Luo Hun, it was clear he feared nothing and possibly had a much stronger backing than the Tan Family.
Despite the Tan Family’s dominance in Hang City, when looking at the entirety of China, they barely counted as a second-rate family, not even reaching the status of a top-tier family.
