Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert-Chapter 1759 - 1752: The Beginning of the Conspiracy

"Mr. Lu, you’re right, I do want to use your knife to eliminate the Sun Family."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Tianrui spoke candidly without any hesitation: "Mr. Lu, I believe during your investigation of the Sun Family, you might have also looked into the long-standing feud between our Qiu Family and the Sun Family. With our Qiu Family’s strength, it’s nearly impossible to eradicate the Sun Family. Even if we succeed, we would be killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of our own; it’s completely unwise."

"Now that Mr. Lu has appeared on Qin Island with intentions to destroy the Sun Family, as the Sun Family’s arch-enemy, if our Qiu Family says we don’t wish to use Mr. Lu’s knife to destroy the Sun Family, the reason wouldn’t be believable. Not only would Mr. Lu find it unbelievable, but even I wouldn’t believe it myself. Rather than letting Mr. Lu develop aversion towards the Qiu Family, it’s better to be honest."

"Young Master Qiu, I must say, you have quite a talent for persuasion. I’ll take this information. In return, I’ll eliminate the Sun Family. However, Young Master Qiu, let me make one thing clear: I dislike anyone scheming behind my back. Anyone attempting to plot against me from the shadows, I won’t hesitate to make them disappear from this world forever."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Tianrui’s expression remained unchanged: "Of course, Mr. Lu. I can assure you that our Qiu Family will always be your friend."

Meanwhile, within the Sun Family.

Sun Yaoyang’s expression turned extremely grim, his entire aura exuding a menacing killing intent. Ever since learning Lu Tianxing had arrived on Qin Island, he had kept a close watch on Tianxing’s every move. Especially after hearing the news that Qiu Tianrui, the eldest of the Qiu Family, invited Lu Tianxing for dinner tonight, Sun Yaoyang became increasingly uneasy.

As the saying goes, "Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat." Speaking of the one who knows the Sun Family best in this world, it’s undoubtedly the Qiu Family, their arch-enemy. Now, with Qiu Tianrui inviting Lu Tianxing for dinner, he wouldn’t believe there’s no scheme at play if you beat him to death.

"Knock, knock..."

Just then, the sound of light footsteps approached from outside, and a woman entered the study carrying a bowl of rice porridge.

"Yaoyang, you haven’t eaten all day. I made you some porridge. Please eat a bit! If your health fails, what am I supposed to do?"

Zhang Yue entered from outside, placed the porridge by Sun Yaoyang’s side, and sighed softly: "Yaoyang, are you still troubled by the matter concerning Lu Tianxing?"

Listening to Zhang Yue’s worried voice, Sun Yaoyang slowly lifted his head, his once charismatic face now thoroughly aged, with a fair amount of gray in his black hair, as if he had aged ten years in a matter of days.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Yaoyang didn’t touch the porridge but instead slowly spoke: "Yue’er, do you know? That little bastard Lu Tianxing has arrived on Qin Island. In fact, I called him this afternoon, and he told me to kneel on the ground like a dog and beg for forgiveness, or the Sun Family would be eradicated. More importantly, I just received news that the little bastard Lu Tianxing is now in cahoots with the Qiu Family. Yue’er, tell me, what should I do?"

Looking at Sun Yaoyang’s aged face, Zhang Yue’s eyes flickered briefly before she ultimately sighed softly: "Yaoyang, there is one last option."

"What option, Yue’er? Tell me, what option is there, what option could let that little bastard Lu Tianxing die?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Sun Yaoyang’s body trembled violently, he suddenly raised his hand and tightly grasped Zhang Yue’s arm, a trace of hysteria mixed with madness on his face. At this point, he didn’t hope for the Sun Family to safely navigate this crisis nor for a resurgence. He only wished for Lu Tianxing to face a fate worse than death.

With her arm tightly gripped by Sun Yaoyang, Zhang Yue’s face couldn’t help but flash with a trace of pain, yet she didn’t struggle, instead slowly speaking: "Yaoyang, do you remember that Qiu Yingrong’s admirer, Zhang Zefeng?"

"I know, what’s the matter, does this have anything to do with him?"

Sun Yaoyang was slightly taken aback by the name Zhang Zefeng, which was not unfamiliar to him. In fact, few in Qin Island aren’t familiar with him. Zhang Zefeng was the persistent admirer of Qiu Yingrong and pursued her even when her husband passed away, persisting for over four years. Yet, Qiu Yingrong repeatedly rejected him, citing having a daughter and wanting to care for her, but he never gave up, earning the title of Qin Island’s most renowned infatuated person.

"Of course, it has something to do with him,"

Zhang Yue said slowly: "After Qiu Yingrong’s daughter was poisoned and saved by Lu Tianxing, I immediately had people investigate the matter. It was discovered that all surveillance videos in that luxury boutique were completely deleted, even those on roads leading to the boutique. And coincidentally, Zhang Zefeng’s identity is that of a network engineer, once a notorious hacker known as ’Poison Bee.’"

Upon hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Sun Yaoyang sternly said: "Yue’er, are you suggesting that the poisoning of Qiu Yingrong’s daughter was likely Zhang Zefeng’s doing?"

"It’s not likely, but a certainty,"

Zhang Yue said emphatically, her eyes gleaming: "At first, it was merely speculation without evidence, but as the saying goes, ’A wise man will have a lapse in judgment.’ After thorough investigation, I finally found some clues. A person who enjoys buying binoculars online and attaching a phone camera to observe distant objects captured footage. It clearly shows Zhang Zefeng entering the boutique and soon exiting. Shortly after Zhang Zefeng left, within two or three minutes, Qiu Yingrong’s daughter was poisoned. Furthermore, after the poisoning, many people saw Zhang Zefeng lingering around the area. Would you believe this incident is unrelated to Zhang Zefeng, Yaoyang?"

"Yue’er, what do you plan to do then," Sun Yaoyang said with a serious expression.

"Given the Qiu Family’s influence on Qin Island, uncovering evidence of Zhang Zefeng’s poisoning isn’t too difficult. The urgent matter is to erase all traces of the poisoning, then locate Zhang Zefeng and have him cooperate with us. If Zhang Zefeng cooperates, we can drag the Qiu Family into this and join forces against Lu Tianxing."

"Yue’er, are you suggesting having Zhang Zefeng approach Qiu Yingrong?" Sun Yaoyang frowned and said.
