Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 852 830: Shroud of Suspicion

"How could it not be, my dear fourth brother? You can't judge a book by its cover. You've been following our third brother for so long, your power has grown over the years, even hinting at taking over the third brother. Once a person's ambition is nurtured, why couldn't it be possible?" Lu Wangjiang said coldly.

"You're making baseless accusations, intentionally framing me!" Lu Ruiyang said excitedly, his face full of anger.

"Elder brother, these groundless things, it's better not to say them." Lu Yucheng also spoke from the side.

"Groundless?" Lu Wangjiang sneered at Lu Yucheng, "Second brother, didn't you say before that the three of us were the most suspicious? Indeed, after the third brother's death, including you, only the three of us have benefited the most, so you're also a possibility."

Lu Yucheng looked calmly at Lu Wangjiang.

"Second brother, although you seem to lack ambition, you have already controlled the most crucial forces of the Lu Family, and most of the business is in your hands. If anyone has the opportunity and the possibility to act, it must be you!" Lu Wangjiang said coldly, "Moreover, your interactions with the Kachin Rebel Army are the most among the Lu Family, aren't they?"

Lu Yucheng's face turned slightly cold: "Elder brother, this baseless speculation has no meaning."

Zhao Manrou slumped on the chair beside them, while the three brothers stopped speaking, but the gap and estrangement between them deepened.

After Lu Wangjiang started speaking, all three of them became suspects. Lu Wangjiang had always wanted the position of the Patriarch, to control the Lu Family. Lu Yucheng secretly controlled the key forces of the Lu Family and had the most dealings with the Kachin Rebel Army; Lu Ruiyang had the tendency to usurp Lu Xingye's power.

None of the three could escape suspicion.

It could be said that everyone was a potential culprit. Zhao Manrou initially suspected Lu Wangjiang too, but after hearing him speak, she was unsure.

Outside the hall, other members of the Lu Family were standing there, a total of forty or fifty people, who were either collateral branches of the Lu Family or cultivated by themselves, relying on the three of Lu Wangjiang.

At this moment, a subordinate dashed in with a joyous expression.

"Miss Duo'er is back! Miss Duo'er is back!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manrou, who had been slumped in her chair, suddenly stood up with disbelief on her face.

Lu Ruiyang was the same; his body jolted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Duo'er is back alive?" A look of joy spread across Lu Ruiyang's face. "That's great news."

"Let's go out and have a look. We'll discuss our matters later." Lu Yucheng suggested.

Zhao Manrou and Lu Wangjiang rushed toward the Lu Family's main door, followed by many other members of the Lu Family.

At the Lu Family's main entrance, Ren Feng and Lu Duo'er were standing there, with a row of neatly arranged Lu Family bodyguards on either side.

"Duo'er! Duo'er!"

Not far away, someone ran over, full of worry. Seeing Lu Duo'er, they immediately embraced her.

"Duo'er, my Duo'er, it's so good that you're alright."

Zhao Manrou held Lu Duo'er in her arms, her face full of relief.

"Mom, I'm fine." Lu Duo'er smiled.

Ren Feng stood aside, smiling, his gaze quickly scanning Lu Wangjiang and the others, quickly identifying who they were.

These three had the greatest suspicion, but it was unclear who it might be; of course, others couldn't be ruled out either.

Lu Ruiyang had a look of joy on his face: "It's so good that Duo'er is alright."

"Duo'er, after you returned, did you encounter any attacks?" Lu Yucheng asked.

"I did, but Feng saved me." Lu Duo'er nodded, pulling Ren Feng forward. "Let me introduce him. He's my boyfriend, Ren Feng."

"Hello, aunt, hello, seniors." Ren Feng bowed slightly.

"Good." Zhao Manrou smiled, nodding. "Let's go inside and chat slowly."

Ren Feng followed Lu Duo'er into the hall.

"Duo'er, tell us what exactly happened at the time." Lu Yucheng asked.

Lu Duo'er nodded: "I didn't know the exact details. Right after getting in the car, we were attacked by people from the Kachin Rebel Army. At that time, Mr. Ye and Mr. Feng were both killed. Luckily, Feng saved me."

There was a trace of sadness in her eyes, but it soon disappeared.

The women of the Lu Family of Tiannan had long learned to be strong.

"Oh?" A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Ruiyang's eyes. He looked at Ren Feng and said, "Little brother, you're really something. You must have quite the skills, huh?"

"You're too kind." Ren Feng said, "It was just luck. It was chaotic at the time, and I took Duo'er and ran."

"Third brother was attacked, and when Duo'er came back, she was attacked too." Lu Yucheng said blandly, "In this matter, I can't think of anyone else besides us three."

"Who else could it be?" Lu Ruiyang angrily looked at Lu Wangjiang, "Whoever benefits the most from this is the most likely culprit!"

"Hmph!" Lu Wangjiang slammed the table and stood up, "I don't want to argue with you. Whether done or not, everyone knows in their heart."

Lu Wangjiang turned and left, while Lu Duo'er looked at Zhao Manrou and said, "Mom, I want to see Dad."

Zhao Manrou sighed lightly and nodded.

Ren Feng also got up, following them. Lu Ruiyang and Lu Yucheng followed as well, entering a particularly luxurious room.

In the room, a man was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, his eyes closed, lips and face pale, obviously unconscious.

"Dad!"

Upon seeing the man, Duo'er immediately rushed over in distress, but Lu Xingye at this time could only remain unconscious.

"Third brother has already been treated; the shrapnel has been removed, but he's still unconscious. The doctor said he hasn't escaped life-threatening danger; in the worst case, he might become a vegetable." Lu Ruiyang said to the side.

Lu Duo'er's face grew more sorrowful. Lu Yucheng sighed beside her: "The doctor said there's a 50% chance of becoming a vegetable, but actually, that's just a conservative estimate."

Ren Feng frowned slightly, not expecting Lu Xingye to be so seriously injured.

"Let me take a look." Ren Feng said.

Zhao Manrou looked at Ren Feng, and Lu Duo'er's eyes lit up: "Yes, let Feng take a look; Feng is very good at medicine."

Lu Ruiyang and Lu Yucheng both looked at Ren Feng, who sat down beside them, placing his hand on Lu Xingye's pulse.

His fingers moved slightly, True Qi entering his body, then gathering toward his brain.
