Chapter 2136 - 2109: Leave No One Alive
The carnage continued without pause, the air thick with a nauseating scent of blood, undisturbed by the surrounding cries of agony.
The once angry curses gradually turned into pleas for mercy as the slaughter went on.
"Spare me, spare me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die."
"Miss Rose, I was wrong, I truly was wrong, please give me another chance. I really know my mistakes now, please let me go, just let me go, and I will definitely submit to you, join the Yama Palace, and become your most loyal dog."
"Have mercy, I have nothing to do with the Tang Family at all, I have no entanglements with them, I’m innocent."
Listening to the pleas around her, Rose showed no trace of emotion on her face. Even those beautiful eyes of hers did not flicker, as if the screams had nothing to do with her.
Lu Chuan stood beside Rose, not participating, his peripheral vision catching her figure as he sighed deeply inside, knowing all too well why Rose had become like this. After all, seeing your mother die in front of your eyes while your father remained indifferent would cause anyone to break down.
Seeing this, Rose’s indifference was understandable. Although her enemies were from the Tang Family, these people were cultivated by them. To her, that was enough. Anyone connected with the Tang Family was an enemy, and to them, she would show no mercy.
"Sigh..."
Lu Chuan sighed deeply again in his heart, well aware that Rose harbored endless hatred within. The best way to dispel this hatred was to annihilate the Tang Family, otherwise, her hatred would never dissipate.
The killing did not last long. Once the experts were dealt with, the small fry were naturally no challenge.
As the Lu Family Guards and Yama Palace experts gathered before Rose once more, not a sound came from the small village. Corpses lay strewn across the ground, soaked in pools of blood, with crimson streams pooling together, reflecting an eerie light under the dim lighting. The thick scent of blood permeated the air, filling one’s nose and mouth, almost making one feel as though they had fallen into a cavern of blood, with the taste of blood lingering.
"Is everything settled?" Rose looked at the Lu Family Guards and Yama Palace experts drenched in blood before her, her voice calm and unruffled.
"Everything is settled, not a single survivor." One of the Yama Palace experts respectfully reported to Rose.
"Good, leave a few to handle these bodies, and make sure it’s done cleanly. I don’t want this to be the talk of the town tomorrow."
Rose glanced around coldly, then calmly instructed, "The rest of you, withdraw quickly."
The events in Xiangjiang hadn’t reached Lu Tianxing’s ears immediately. After all, Huang Feiyu was struggling to protect himself and had no time to call and inform Lu Tianxing about what happened in Xiangjiang.
Besides, even if he did tell Lu Tianxing about what happened in Xiangjiang, Lu Tianxing probably couldn’t help him. The distance between Beijing and Xiangjiang was too great, even if Lu Tianxing wanted to, he would be powerless.
Not only was Lu Tianxing unaware of the events in Xiangjiang, he also had no clue that Rose and Lu Haoyue had joined forces and wiped out all the Tang Family’s external forces in Jianghuai City.
At this time, in Beijing.
Although Lu Tianxing knew Bai Zhiqing was hiding something, he did not ask her more about it.
It wasn’t that Lu Tianxing didn’t want to know what Bai Zhiqing was hiding, but he understood her personality; if she didn’t want to talk, asking her would be in vain. Bai Zhiqing would never tell him, might even find countless excuses to dodge the topic. So, rather than pressuring her, it was better to remain silent.
When Bai Zhiqing was ready to talk, she would naturally tell him everything of her own accord.
All Lu Tianxing could do now was wait until Bai Zhiqing decided to tell him everything.
Since going upstairs, Bai Zhiqing had only come down once to eat. The rest of the time, she locked herself in the bedroom, doing who knows what.
Lu Tianxing considered going upstairs to keep Bai Zhiqing company, but she sent him back down.
At this moment, Lu Tianxing and Lin Yafei sat quietly on the sofa.
There was no hint of romance between them.
Lin Yafei’s face was full of concern for Bai Zhiqing, while Lu Tianxing maintained a calm demeanor, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Lin Yafei’s phone on the side started to buzz.
Hearing the phone, Lin Yafei quickly picked it up from the coffee table, unlocked it, and opened the messages.
After reading the message, Lin Yafei’s beautiful face showed a complicated expression, and her once relaxed brows began to furrow.
"What’s the matter? What happened?" Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but ask after seeing Lin Yafei’s frown.
"Didn’t you ask me to find out what Zhiqing did at the café today?" Lin Yafei looked at Lu Tianxing, took a deep breath, and said.
"Why, did you find something out?"
"I did find a little."
Lin Yafei nodded slightly and said, "At the café, Zhiqing met a man, a mysterious man wearing a mask. They spoke a lot in the café’s private room, and after leaving, Zhiqing looked very upset."
Lu Tianxing’s brow furrowed deeply at Lin Yafei’s words, and he said solemnly, "Do you know the identity of this masked man?"
"I don’t know."
Lin Yafei shook her head lightly when she heard Lu Tianxing’s question and said, "This mysterious masked man is very secretive, his identity is impossible to trace, and after Zhiqing left, it seems the man met with another person, but who that was couldn’t be found out at all."
"Can’t be found?"
Lu Tianxing frowned. What does that mean?
