Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Turning Point
Lu Fei’s expression was as still as water as he nodded slightly, "Apart from this, there is no other explanation!"
Ling Feng could understand his feelings, and asked with a smile, "May I ask how you intend to handle this matter?"
"This, I will demand an explanation from him for the Lu Family!" Lu Fei said with a furrowed brow.
Ling Feng wanted to seize the chance to ask about Lu Liang. After thinking for a mont, he casually asked, "How is the relationship between Lu Kun and Lu Liang?"
Lu Fei glanced at him, "They are brothers."
Ling Feng suddenly realized, "I see!"
Seeing Lu Fei’s penetrating gaze, Ling Feng continued with a laugh, "After all, I have had so issues with Lu Liang. If Mr. Lu hadn’t spoken out back then, he would probably have fought
to the death!"
"Hmm, I’ve discussed this with him before, but Lu Liang has a narrow mind, and he definitely hasn’t forgotten about it," said Lu Fei.
Lu Fei nodded, then asked, "You suddenly bring this up, is there sothing you want to say?"
They were both smart people; he understood Ling Feng must have an underlying ssage for ntioning this all of a sudden.
"All right then."
Ling Feng smiled bitterly and nodded but didn’t speak directly. Instead, he asked, "I heard that Lu Liang went abroad?"
Lu Fei: "Yes!"
Ling Feng: "I don’t know if it’s appropriate to talk about this now, since there is no clear evidence and everything is just speculation. So please don’t take offense, Mr. Lu."
"You speak, Mr. Ling. How could I possibly bla you when you’ve done a favor for the Lu Family?" Lu Fei said.
Although he said that, his face was very serious with no expression at all.
Since it had co to this, Ling Feng no longer concealed anything. He talked about Chu Bo’s disappearance and how Wang Laogen had secretly investigated and discovered that this matter might be related to Lu Liang.
After listening, both Lu Fei and Lu Zihao’s faces turned solemn.
Both knew that since the matter involved the Chu Family, it was no small thing.
If mishandled, it could beco an irreversible situation with unpredictable outcos.
Ling Feng looked at them, unable to read anything from their expressions, but he had an intuition that neither of them was aware of this!
Indeed, Lu Fei was silent for a mont before he suddenly sighed, "You’re saying the person directly involved in the abduction of Chu Bo is nad Kong Sheng?"
"Yes, I have so history with this man. The Security Bureau has arrested him before!" Ling Feng nodded.
Lu Fei fell silent once more.
Now both Ling Feng and Lu Fei were puzzled.
"Uncle, do you know this Kong Sheng?" Lu Zihao asked.
"Indeed."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, smiled bitterly and nodded, then sighed, "Raising a tiger invites calamity, indeed raising a tiger invites calamity!"
Uncertainty flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes. Although he sensed sothing, it still seed unbelievable to him.
"Ling Feng, regarding this matter, the Lu Family will give you an explanation!" Lu Fei said in a grave voice.
"But, what is going on?" Ling Feng asked.
He was truly confused. rely ntioning the na Kong Sheng made Lu Fei admit that the Lu Family was connected to Chu Bo’s disappearance!
Moreover, by the looks of it, he was also aware of Kong Sheng’s background!
Most crucially, Lu Zihao appeared completely clueless, clearly unaware of the situation.
Countless threads intertwined, complicating matters, and Ling Feng began to feel that his brain was no longer sufficient!
At that mont, Lu Fei gave a wry smile, looked at Ling Feng, then at Lu Zihao, and said, "To tell you the truth, this is my fault!"
"That Kong Sheng is actually a mber of the Lu Family, but he took his mother’s surna."
"What!"
Lu Zihao exclaid in shock!
Ling Feng was aware of the case he managed, but he never expected that the one betraying national interests would be soone from the Lu Family!
And now Ling Feng also wore a flabbergasted expression, feeling utterly speechless in his heart!
He had thought it was an unsolvable situation, yet an unintentional decision led to an unexpected outco.
This trip to the Lu Family had not been in vain!
"If that’s the case, I hope Mr. Lu can prioritize the bigger picture and ensure Chu Bo’s freedom as soon as possible," Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"Don’t worry, I will give you an explanation!"
Lu Fei nodded and then said, "This matter involves a lot of old affairs and is also a stain within our family, so I’ll spare you the details."
"I understand," Ling Feng said.
Considering everything, the internal affairs of the Lu Family were indeed complex and chaotic!
After all, it was soone else’s family affairs, and Ling Feng did not wish to ddle too much. Since Lu Fei did not want to talk about it, it was better not to ask.
...
...
After dinner, although it was getting late, Ling Feng still politely declined the Lu family’s entreaty to stay and drove away.
Lu Zihao needed ti to recover from his injuries, and they agreed to et again after his recovery, with Shiliu Village set as the eting place.
As for Lu Fei, due to the issues with Lu Kun and Lu Liang, he didn’t present any ideas or requests to Ling Feng, which would have been highly inappropriate.
Driving on the highway, Ling Feng dialed Wang Laogen’s number and shared the gains from his visit to the Lu family.
After listening, Wang Laogen was silent for a long ti, then said with a bitter smile, "This is indeed finding no way out in mountains and rivers redoubled!"
"Chu Bo should be fine soon. As for whether or not to tell the old Chu Family patriarch, it’s up to you," Ling Feng said.
"It’s too early to talk about this now, let’s wait until Chu Bo cos back safe and sound," Wang Laogen said.
Ling Feng uttered an acknowledgnt, "So you an, if Chu Bo is fine, we just keep this matter under wraps?"
"What else? Do you want to see the Chu Family and Lu Family go to war? The Security Bureau probably doesn’t want to see that happen either, right?" Wang Laogen retorted.
Ling Feng nodded, "You have a point, but I can’t help feeling like the patriarch is being shortchanged!"
"Don’t think that. After all, we still don’t know why Chu Bo was captured!" Wang Laogen said gravely.
Ling Feng was taken aback.
Then, he realized, "Understood, we’ll wait a bit longer then!"
The root cause of the incident was still unclear. To call the situation resolved now would certainly be premature!
The wait turned out to be two days.
On the third day after returning from the Lu Family, Ling Feng was at ho with Chu Nan, looking over the blueprints. They were for the Chu family estate, designed by a professional team after a survey.
The several hundred acres of forest to the west of Shiliu Village had already been purchased by Chu Nan for a seventy-year tenure.
He was allowed to build houses there, provided that he did not destroy the vegetation.
The current blueprint was the plan for the future.
Chu Nan was making a major investnt, with a project that, according to the design on the blueprint, would cost tens to hundreds of millions!
However, such an amount of money was nothing for the Chu Family.
While they were looking at the blueprint, the sound of a car engine ca from outside. Ling Feng went to the door and saw that it was Wang Laogen who had arrived!
Accompanying him was Mo Lan, still expressionless, as cold as ever.
Wang Laogen looked rather grim, his expression somber. Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "What’s happened?"
"Let’s talk inside."
With those solemn words, Wang Laogen stepped into the house.
An ominous premonition arose in Ling Feng’s heart, and he quickly followed.
