Firefly Journey

Chapter 250 Apricot Blossoms in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan (10)

Upon hearing Aunt Jin address the man as Young Master Lu, the corners of their mouths involuntarily turned up.

The Lu family has two legitimate sons, Lu Yong and Lu Huai. Lu Yong is nearly thirty years old and serves as an official in the capital, while his younger brother, Lu Huai, remains with the Lu family in Yunzhou.

Upon looking at each other, the two realized that the arrogant person in front of them was most likely Lu Huai.

And Lu Huai is also one of the suspects.

Logically speaking, regardless of whether he had any motive to kill, he should cooperate with the government investigation in accordance with the law and should not move around at will during the investigation.

He Changqing was afraid of the Lu family, so how could he dare to detain Lu Huai? He sent him back home on the day the incident occurred, under the pretext of waiting for his arrest.

Who would have thought that Lu Huai, who was used to being arrogant and domineering, would never settle down for even a day, and today he came to Yuqiong Tower again.

Seeing that Lin Yuanran's attire wasn't shabby, Lu Huai snorted:

"I'm used to having Miss Shuixiu and Miss Ping'er serve me, but I need them tonight. Would you two gentlemen be willing to spare them?"

Although Lu Huai spoke politely, his eyes were full of arrogance, as if he were giving a notice rather than discussing it.

Before Duan Feibai could even speak, Lin Yuanran wasn't going to tolerate him.

"Who are you? Don't you know about first come, first served?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around, except Duan Feibai, showed expressions of surprise.

The two young ladies from Yuqionglou and Granny Jin thought to themselves, "This is bad." This outsider doesn't know Lu Huai and is unaware of the Lu family's influence in the area.

The henchmen Lu Huai brought secretly chuckled. They were used to being arrogant and domineering under Lu Huai's command, and they were all eager to fight. As soon as Lu Huai gave the order, they would swarm forward and teach the ignorant outsiders a lesson.

Lu Huai's face darkened instantly. "You're asking for it, aren't you? Just because you're a foreigner, you think you can disregard the local elites?"

Sorry, but in Yunzhou, the Lu family's word carries more weight than the law!

"I am Lu Huai, Lu Huai of the Lu family. Alright, you don't need to go out now, because I'll have yourselves carried out. Beat them!"

"okay."

The henchmen, used to swaggering and showing off, were now very adept at getting things done, and they all came forward with ill intentions.

In response, Duan Feibai gave Lin Yuanran a look, as if to say, "You handle it, just make sure no one dies."

Lin Yuanran was extremely disgusted by this kind of arrogant and domineering young master, so he simply raised his hand and unleashed a curtain of fire.

The curtain of fire touched the thugs, sending them all flying. In a mere second, their expressions changed from fierce to terrified.

The thugs who were knocked to the ground by Lin Yuanran's casual blow were all unable to stand up. They were all slumped on the ground, crying and screaming, with burns of varying degrees all over their bodies.

Despite the injuries, Lin Yuanran only wanted to teach them a lesson and wouldn't kill them indiscriminately. Otherwise, that one gesture of his could have killed them a hundred times over.

"No wonder he was so fearless, he's an extraordinary being." Lu Huai, a man of great experience, turned gloomy, his eyes filled with intense anger.

The two courtesans and Granny Jin were completely dumbfounded. A superhuman? This was an honored guest!

"Yeah, so you can get lost now?" Lin Yuanran smiled. "Or, I can throw you out. I don't have any men, and I don't want to waste my energy carrying you."

As Lin Yuanran spoke, he flicked his right hand, and a ball of flame immediately appeared on his palm, as if he could throw it at any moment.

Lu Huai's face was extremely pale. In Taiqian, and in the entire Yunzhou, no one had ever dared to disobey him.

In his rage, he almost acted rashly and took matters into his own hands, but the thought that the other party was a superhuman forced him to restrain himself.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; let's leave first.

"Alright, you've got guts! In that case, dare to leave your name and address? I'll definitely pay you a visit another day."

Faced with Lu Huai's unconvinced statement, Lin Yuanran and the other person both chuckled.

What, you're resorting to your family's influence because you can't win? That certainly fits your playboy persona.

The two didn't care at all. Lin Yuanran said, "Qingsong Inn is always ready to serve you. As for the name, you're not worthy to hear it."

Lu Huai snorted coldly, then turned around, gathered his remaining troops, and walked straight out of Yuqiong Tower.

"Very well, so you are extraordinary individuals, are you? My Lu family is not without its own. You just wait, in two days at most, we will make you disappear completely from Yunzhou."

After Lu Huai left, Aunt Jin felt quite disappointed because the money she had just received had vanished, but she dared not show it.

The extraordinary individuals are at the top of the food chain in this world, and in some ways, they are more oppressive than the government.

"So you two gentlemen are extraordinary beings! My apologies for not recognizing you properly," Aunt Jin quickly flattered.

Having witnessed Lin Yuanran's prowess, Su Shuixiu and Lai Xiaoping were stunned and dared not utter a word.

Aunt Jin quickly winked at the two of them, meaning, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go! Once you've hooked up with an extraordinary person, you'll have everything you want in the future.

The two women understood what Granny Jin meant and were about to step forward to continue their seductive charm.

Duan Feibai cupped his hands and said, "Boss Jin, let them go. I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jin and the two women were dumbfounded. They were told to leave two beautiful women behind, leaving behind only the madam.

It's late at night, so it's hard to comment...

Lin Yuanran didn't have time to waste words with them and snapped, "Hurry up."

As he spoke, he demonstrated the fireball technique again.

The two women quickly retreated.

Then Aunt Jin started to panic.

I've been out of the spotlight for many years now, please don't do this. But if the customer insists, then it's not impossible, I'll just have to go all out...

"Sit down." Duan Feibai pointed to the spot where Su Shuixiu had been sitting, and the madam obediently followed his instructions.

"To be honest, I came here because I heard about the beautiful Qin Jue, but I didn't expect that she was no longer alive. I just asked the two girls, and they didn't know anything about what happened on the day of the incident."

As one of the first witnesses, do you have any leads?

Upon hearing this, Granny Jin pondered for a moment and then asked, "Young master values ​​my poor daughter so much, could it be that you have some connection with her?"

Duan Feibai didn't want to reveal his identity yet, so he made up a lie: "An old friend."

……

The two women left the room, closed the door, and felt a sense of relief.

Lai Xiaoping patted her chest and let out a long breath, saying, "Do you think those two guests who offended the Lu family tonight will be able to leave Taiqian City alive?"

Su Shuixiu asked absentmindedly, "They are all extraordinary individuals, so it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Lai Xiaoping said, "From beginning to end, only that foreigner has shown magic. Young Master Duan has never made a move."

Su Shuixiu's heart skipped a beat, and she was also filled with worry: "That Young Master Duan..."

Lai Xiaoping patted her shoulder and said, "It's just a one-time meeting, why are you so worried about him? People like us don't have the right to choose from birth. Let me give you some advice, don't have any strange ideas."

Su Shuixiu's face fell: "I know."

"It's good to know. What man would truly fall in love with a woman of the night? At most, it's just a fling."

Lai Xiaoping gave a self-deprecating laugh and disappeared with Su Shuixiu at the end of the corridor.
