Chapter 1985 - 1958: Something Happened

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s plan to leave Qin Island, Jiang Liufeng sighed deeply in his heart, slowly stood up from the stool, and walked to the edge of the small pavilion, gazing at the lake water swaying with the wind, making it impossible for people to guess his thoughts.

Lu Tianxing followed Jiang Liufeng and stood up as well, however, he also remained silent, waiting for Jiang Liufeng to speak.

After a long while, Jiang Liufeng slowly said, "Tianxing, since you have decided, then do as you said, no matter what you do, Grandpa will unconditionally support you. If you encounter any danger out there, you can always come to me, Grandpa will do everything to help you, this place will always be your home."

Listening to Jiang Liufeng’s firm words and looking at Jiang Liufeng’s slightly thin body, Lu Tianxing felt a bitterness in his heart. He knew Jiang Liufeng was reluctant to let him leave Qin Island, but as the saying goes, in the world one is often subject to circumstances beyond their control. No matter what, he had to leave Qin Island.

"Grandpa, don’t worry, I’m just going out for a spin, maybe I’ll be back to Qin Island soon," Lu Tianxing said as he took a deep breath.

"Tianxing, you don’t need to explain anything to me, I understand."

Jiang Liufeng gently spoke, "You have your responsibilities, things you need to do. If I keep you on Qin Island for your lifetime, I’m not helping you, I’m harming you. So if you want to leave, then go ahead. I just want to tell you, if you face any grievances outside, come back to Qin Island. Grandpa will always be your shelter, as long as I’m alive, I promise you, no one will be able to harm you, no one."

Hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Lu Tianxing’s body trembled slightly, a warm current surged in his heart, and he nodded heavily, saying, "Grandpa, I know, I will take care of myself, after I solve these troubles, I will definitely come to Qin Island to accompany you, I hope by then you won’t find me annoying."

"Haha, how could I find my grandson annoying!"

Jiang Liufeng chuckled, looking at Lu Tianxing, "Tianxing, you’re my grandson, there’s one thing I want to remind you, no matter how you live out there, I hope you treat Zhiqing well, don’t let her down, she’s a good girl."

"Grandpa, I understand."

Lu Tianxing nodded lightly.

For a moment, the entire small pavilion was enveloped in eerie silence, no one spoke. Jiang Liufeng stared at the gently rippling lake water, lost in thought, and Lu Tianxing didn’t know how to break the silence.

After an uncertain amount of time, Jiang Liufeng slowly turned around, gently walked to Lu Tianxing’s side, and slowly extended his dry right hand to lightly pat Lu Tianxing’s shoulder, saying, "Tianxing, go and do what you want! Don’t worry about me, I’ve lived alone for so many years, still getting by. Besides, Manman also said there’s hope to cure my poison, so you don’t need to worry about me. However, I hope next time you come to Qin Island, you’ll be accompanied not just by Zhiqing but also with my great-grandchildren."

Lu Tianxing nodded heavily, "Grandpa, I understand, and maybe by the next time I’m on Qin Island, I won’t be alone, but will bring your great-grandchildren. However, if your great-grandchildren happen to be many, I hope you won’t mind."

"Haha, the more, the better."

Jiang Liufeng laughed heartily.

After spending a moment longer in the pavilion with Jiang Liufeng, Lu Tianxing bid farewell to him, and without saying more, stood up and left the pavilion.

Watching Lu Tianxing’s departing figure, Jiang Liufeng slowly sat on the stone stool, picked up the teacup in front of him which had already cooled, and took a light sip, unable to control a deep sigh in his heart.

With Lu Tianxing’s departure, it might bring storms of blood, life-threatening trials, but he can’t stop him, nor can he prevent it. Lu Tianxing’s character is too much like Jiang Hongyan’s, once he decides on something, few can change it.

Moreover, as he said before, Lu Tianxing wants to grow from a fledgling into a falcon soaring high, this step he must experience, and no one can help him, everything depends on Lu Tianxing to carry it through alone.

"Tianxing, I trust you won’t let me down, you will succeed," Jiang Liufeng said, taking a deep breath.

Then, Jiang Liufeng once again stood up from the stone stool, looked around at the scenery, lost in thoughts.

...

Unaware of Jiang Liufeng’s thoughts after he left, Lu Tianxing didn’t linger outside, but headed straight towards his residence.

"The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old together with you..."

But just as Lu Tianxing walked out of the pavilion, a sudden, urgent phone ring sounded from his pocket.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Lu Tianxing paused his steps, immediately took out the phone from his pocket, and when he saw the caller ID, he was clearly taken aback: Qiu Tianrui’s call. What does the eldest of the Qiu Family want by calling him at this time?

Although somewhat puzzled about why Qiu Tianrui was calling, Lu Tianxing answered the call immediately.

As soon as the call connected, Qiu Tianrui’s anxious voice sounded immediately in Lu Tianxing’s ear: "Mr. Lu, something’s wrong, something big happened."

"What happened?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, Lu Tianxing’s brow furrowed instantly. He knew Qiu Tianrui’s character well, without something important, Qiu Tianrui would never speak to him in such an urgent tone.

"Mr. Lu, Wei Xu is dead."

Qiu Tianrui’s solemn voice came through the phone.

"What did you say, Wei Xu is dead? When did this happen?"

Lu Tianxing’s brows furrowed into the shape of the word ’Chuan’ (川), not because of Wei Xu’s death—Wei Xu, to him, was akin to an ant, easily crushed—but it’s the manner of Wei Xu’s death that concerned him. If it were just Wei Xu’s simple death, Qiu Tianrui wouldn’t use such an urgent tone to speak to him. Now that Qiu Tianrui uses such a tone, it signifies the matter has reached an extremely serious level.

"This happened this morning."

Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath and said, "Qiu Tianrui has an apartment in Wealth Garden where he keeps a woman. This morning, Wei Xu and the woman he keeps were found dead in the room. Their deaths were identical, both having their throats crushed. According to police investigation, the time of Wei Xu and the woman’s death was within an hour after Wei Xu left Taoyuan Restaurant..."
