Zi Feng Courtyard.
Lu Pan knew that Mo Ziyan's spirit had been stimulated and her emotions were extremely unstable, so he decided to give her an acupuncture point to calm her soul, allowing her to sleep for two days.
Afterward, he sent Ye Wudao to invite a maid and prepare medicinal herbs and a large medicine vat. Mo Ziyan's purpura and bedsores needed a medicinal bath to be completely removed!
When Mo Ziyan woke up after two days, she would find that her purpura and bedsores had all disappeared.
Study.
"Boss, the Qingcheng Governor Zhao Changming is hosting a banquet tonight and wants to meet me. What do you think, should I go?" Ye Wudao waited respectfully beside him.
Lu Pan thought for a moment. He would be staying in Qingcheng for some time, and meeting Zhao Changming would make things much more convenient.
"You decide how to arrange it!" Lu Pan replied indifferently.
"Okay."
---
Song He Building, one of Qingcheng's most luxurious restaurants.
Room Tianzi No. 1.
Zhao Changming paced nervously at the door, glancing downstairs from time to time, clearly waiting for a distinguished guest.
His secretary had been with Zhao Changming for over three years and had never seen him so nervous.
"Governor, whom are you meeting that is so important?" the secretary couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Changming glanced at him. "Xiao Wang, you've been with me for over three years and you're usually well-behaved. If there's a next time..."
"Your subordinate knows his mistake!" Secretary Wang broke out in a cold sweat, almost scared to death.
Zhao Changming snorted coldly and ordered, "Wait by the side. Do not speak without my permission."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Changming's eyes lit up as he saw Ye Wudao and Lu Pan appearing at the top of the stairs.
Zhao Changming hurried to greet them, lowered himself, and respectfully asked, "May I ask if you are Mr. Ye..."
"Let's talk inside!" Ye Wudao's simple words conveyed his identity.
Zhao Changming shivered and quickly responded, "Yes!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
As for Lu Pan, because he looked so young, Zhao Changming assumed he was Ye Wudao's attendant.
"Mr. Ye, please take the seat of honor."
Zhao Changming invited Ye Wudao to the main seat, but Ye Wudao remained unmoved.
Under Zhao Changming's shocked gaze, Lu Pan naturally sat in the main seat.
Zhao Changming stood frozen, his face pale.
"Ye, Mr. Ye, who is this... is this..." Zhao Changming finally came to his senses, nervously and incoherently asking.
"Why don't you greet the Boss!" Ye Wudao replied coldly.
Zhao Changming suppressed his nervousness and quickly bowed to Lu Pan, "Qingcheng Governor Zhao Changming, greets the Boss!"
"Sit down, everyone!" Lu Pan said indifferently.
Lu Pan's every move made Zhao Changming feel a terrifying pressure.
"Zhao Changming, seeing you so nervous, have you done something wrong and are afraid I'll investigate?" Ye Wudao asked with a cold smile.
Zhao Changming almost wet himself and quickly shook his head in denial, "Mr. Ye, your humble subordinate has never done anything to let down the people of Qingcheng..."
"Enough!" Lu Pan interrupted Zhao Changming. "We're not discussing official matters today."
Zhao Changming quickly wiped his sweat, slightly relieved.
"I will be staying in Qingcheng for some time. If any trouble arises, Governor Zhao, please bear with it." Lu Pan got straight to the point, giving Zhao Changming a heads-up.
Zhao Changming was somewhat apprehensive and quickly replied, "Boss, you flatter me. As long as you are in Qingcheng, you are the sky of Qingcheng. If you have any instructions, just let your subordinate know."
Lu Pan gave a faint hum. Zhao Changming was indeed sensible.
"How has the Lu family been developing in recent years?"
After a few rounds of drinks, Lu Pan casually asked.
Zhao Changming knew that Lu Pan would not speak without reason, and his inquiry about the Lu family must be for a purpose. He replied, "To answer the Boss, the Lu family has developed rapidly in the past two years, subtly surpassing the Nalan family and showing a trend of becoming the number one family in Qingcheng."
Seeing that Lu Pan had no reaction, Zhao Changming continued, "Since the great fire at the Lu family over a decade ago, they seem to have been rocketed. It is said they relied on a powerful family in Dongshan Prefecture.
Furthermore, with Old Master Nalan's health declining year by year, it has given the Lu family an opportunity to catch up.
Oh, by the way, seven years ago, Nalan Mingyue of the Nalan family displayed extremely strong martial arts talent. At the age of fourteen, she joined the military. It is said that she has made countless contributions over the years and is now a three-star Major General!
It's a pity that Nalan Mingyue's ambitions are not with the Nalan family, otherwise, the Lu family might not have been able to surpass them."
Zhao Changming spoke cautiously. Seeing that Lu Pan showed no interest, he felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.
"Continue!" Lu Pan said calmly, seeing Zhao Changming's increasing nervousness.
Zhao Changming finally relaxed a bit. As if remembering something, he hurried to say, "There is another recent matter concerning the Lu family. It is said that this weekend, the Lu family will auction the residence that was burned down ten years ago. Currently, the location of that house is..."
*Crash—*
The teacup in front of Lu Pan shattered.
A cold killing intent instantly flooded the large Room Tianzi No. 1 like a tide.
Lu Pan's extremely indifferent eyes, like a judge who decides life and death, made people tremble with soul-stirring fear!
Zhao Changming forcefully swallowed the rest of his words, looking at the suddenly fierce Lu Pan with fear, unsure which sentence he had spoken incorrectly.
"Continue speaking!" Lu Pan withdrew his killing intent, his voice cold.
"That house... has been abandoned... abandoned for too long, and now it is in a prime location... every inch of land is precious..."
Zhao Changming trembled uncontrollably.
It wasn't that he was timid, but the pressure radiating from Lu Pan was too immense for an ordinary person to withstand.
"Heh..." Lu Pan sneered, "They really think my lineage is completely wiped out!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Changming remembered something.
"Boss, you and the Lu family..."
"Shut up! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Ye Wudao rebuked, giving Zhao Changming a warning glance.
Zhao Changming felt as if thorns were on his back. Terrified, he quickly shut his mouth, realizing he had crossed a major taboo.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake..."
Lu Pan ignored Zhao Changming and got up to leave.
Today, he had learned what he wanted to know!
In the car.
Lu Pan looked at the rows of tall buildings outside the window and suddenly said to Ye Wudao, "Wudao, turn right ahead and stop at the second intersection!"
"Stay here, I'll be back soon!"
After getting out of the car, Lu Pan instructed Ye Wudao and walked towards a place amidst the towering buildings.
This was once the old residence of their lineage.
Now it had long turned into scorched earth, overgrown with weeds.
"Mom, Dad, your unfilial son has come to see you..."
Lu Pan's eyes welled up with tears, suppressing the immense sorrow in his heart.
"Alas, we've been in this broken place for over three years and haven't found anything!"
"It's our honor to work for Master Lu. Hurry up and pee. After you finish peeing, search around again!"
"Heh heh, we've also urinated on the Lu family's land. That fire ten years ago was really well done!"
"It's better if they all died. Otherwise, how would we have the chance to serve Master Lu!"
The sound of several people talking came from amidst the weeds.
As Lu Pan heard this, his mind went blank with a "boom," his eyes turned red, and he flashed into the depths of the ruins...
