Chapter 998 - 992: He Looks Like Someone
Old Master Han nodded in agreement as he listened to his son’s words, saying, "You’re right. I once thought the Wang Family was strong, almost as strong as our Han Family. Yet, this very family was wiped out by the military blade. Haven’t you noticed the reason behind it?"
"Dad, are you suggesting that the Yanhuang Group also sent experts when the military blade eradicated the Wang Family?" Han Yuntao said in surprise.
"The Yanhuang Group didn’t make a move."
Old Master Han shook his head: "The Wang Family never had any experts at all. The only so-called experts were the five offerings they openly displayed. Until their demise, none of the formerly renowned Wang Family experts appeared. This can only mean one thing: the Wang Family’s rise wasn’t through their efforts, but controlled by an invisible hand. All their experts came from this force, but when the Wang Family fell, these experts didn’t show up. It’s very likely the Wang Family was abandoned by this hidden hand."
Upon hearing his father’s words, Han Yuntao’s expression turned serious. He wasn’t foolish. If someone put so much effort into supporting the Wang Family to become one of Beijing’s top families, they must have been plotting something. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done such a thankless task. Abandoning the Wang Family was likely because the Yanhuang Group and higher-ups noticed and used Lu Tianxing to wipe them out.
"Dad, are you saying there’s a force conspiring in Beijing?"
"Exactly. This force is undoubtedly plotting something. If this conspiracy erupts, all the families in Beijing could suffer. That’s why I chose the military blade, I’ve placed my bets on him, and more importantly, haven’t you noticed the military blade resembles someone?" Old Master Han said heavily.
"Resembles someone?"
Han Yuntao recalled the time he met Lu Tianxing years ago. Back then, Lu Tianxing was somewhat dark-skinned and slim, not resembling anyone at all.
Old Master Han looked at the puzzled Han Yuntao, suddenly enlightened, and said, "I almost forgot. After that incident, all records, including photos of that person, were destroyed. It’s been so many years, it’s understandable that you don’t remember him. But you’ve certainly heard his name; he’s Lu Tianzhan."
