62: Don't worry, the fun has just begun.
Lu Chen strode out leisurely.
Between his sword-like brows and star-like eyes was an innate nobility, his gaze deep, as if containing an endless galaxy, and a faint, shallow smile played on the corners of his lips.
This demeanor instantly drew all eyes like a magnet.
Security Captain Wang Qiang saw him approach and immediately jogged over.
He saluted and said urgently, "Mr. Lu, someone is attacking the manor, and they're coming fiercely! Our brothers are resisting with all their might!"
Lu Chen nodded slightly and said softly, "I already know."
War God Xiao Tianyu's gaze shot straight over, his eyes like a hawk, instantly locking onto Lu Chen.
But the moment he clearly saw the other party's appearance and figure, a sense of shame inexplicably welled up in his heart.
His spine, which had been as straight as a pine, unconsciously tensed, and his hands instinctively clenched into fists.
He had always been quite proud of his appearance; his stern face and resolute features had drawn countless admiring glances.
But compared to Lu Chen at this moment, he was like a dull, ordinary stone encountering a rare treasure, or a firefly next to a bright moon—there was simply no comparison.
Especially his current appearance, with tear and bloodstains on his face and disheveled clothes, he looked less like a War God and more like a down-on-his-luck rogue who had fled into exile.
The fire of jealousy in his heart flared up intensely, almost completely consuming his reason.
He suddenly flung his black robe, took a few steps forward, and his overwhelming aura surged outwards, like a materialized black tidal wave of fury, and he coldly shouted:
"Hand over my daughter and wife, and I can spare your Lu family this one time!"
His voice was filled with killing intent, carrying a ruthlessness that brooked no defiance.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, only curving his lips into a mocking arc:
"Your wife and daughter? You're only now thinking of coming back for them. Where were you when they were most helpless?"
"Where were you when they needed help the most?"
"Where were you when your wife was bullied, imprisoned, and insulted?"
"Where were you when your daughter was thrown into a dilapidated dog kennel, unable to eat or sleep warmly, and had to endure beatings, curses, and humiliation?"
The string of questions was delivered lightly, yet each was like a heavy hammer, striking Xiao Tianyu's heart, choking him into momentary silence.
He opened his mouth, his throat dry, unable to utter a single word for a long time, his face alternating between green and pale.
A moment later, Xiao Tianyu's face flushed crimson, and he roared in exasperation:
"That's none of your business! Hand them over quickly, or don't blame this Hall Master for being impolite!"
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white and cracking from the force, like the dense thunder before a downpour.
Lu Chen, however, seemed oblivious to the threat, his expression unchanged, only uttering two words: "Dog barking."
His voice was cold and clear, like a sharp sword piercing directly into Xiao Tianyu's ears.
This enraged him, causing veins to bulge on his forehead, and his aura grew even more violent, like a primordial beast completely provoked.
Xiao Tianyu's face was flushed crimson, like a ripe tomato about to burst, veins pulsed in his neck, and he leaned forward, looking as if he would pounce and tear at any moment:
"Say that again!"
His roar seemed to make the surrounding air vibrate.
The atmosphere outside the manor tightened to the extreme once more, on the verge of eruption.
Although the smoke had cleared, the killing intent was even stronger than during the gunfight earlier.
Li Mingfeng, the Director of the Public Security Department, was caught in the middle, sweating profusely, the hair under his police cap already soaked and plastered to his forehead.
His gaze darted frantically between Xiao Tianyu and Lu Chen, his hands trembling slightly, wanting to intervene but fearing to draw trouble upon himself.
He looked exactly like an ant on a hot pan, filled with anxiety.
These two, one was an overseas War God, renowned and ruthless enough to stir up storms in other countries.
The other was the Young Lord of the Yan Jing Lu family, with a deep Foundation, capable of making Yan Jing tremble with a stomp of his foot.
He couldn't afford to offend either side; a slight mistake and his Public Security Department uniform would likely be stripped off immediately, and he might even lose his life.
"Get lost. Since this Young Lord is in a good mood today, leave here quickly, and I won't bother with you."
Lu Chen waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a wild dog, and spoke indifferently to War God Xiao Tianyu, his gaze mocking.
Xiao Tianyu was instantly furious, his eyes bulging, his molars almost ground to dust, as he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth:
"Lu Chen, I'm telling you, if I don't see Xuewei and Xiao Xi today, your entire Lu family will be buried with them!!!"
"Believe me, my War God Hall absolutely has the power to do this!!"
The ruthlessness in his voice, the hatred in his tone, was like that of a demon seed about to slaughter the world, sending chills down one's spine.
Xiao Tianyu had already decided that if he still didn't see his wife and daughter, once his subordinates arrived, he would bloodbath the Lu family today!!!
Lu Chen maintained his indifferent expression, his eyes devoid of fear, the mockery still lingering at the corners of his mouth.
To be honest, if it weren't for Gao Xuewei to witness this good show, he would have flicked the opponent ten thousand eight thousand miles away with a single finger.
Lu Chen looked at Xiao Tianyu's exasperated, almost exploding, and violently ugly posture, as if he was about to immediately slaughter the Lu family, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as he murmured softly:
"Don't rush, the good show has just begun."
Li Mingfeng, the Director of the Public Security Department, was sweating profusely with anxiety.
If the Lu family was really massacred, then he really wouldn't need to work anymore, and he would have to be buried with them!
But he truly had no solution now, he could only secretly contact a more Advanced officer to come and resolve this matter.
Just as the stalemate continued,
"Enough!"
A clear and melodious voice rang out from within the manor, but at this moment, this soft voice carried a hint of anger and shock, and it seemed to also contain deep disappointment.
Xiao Tianyu froze upon hearing this voice, then, as if realizing something, he stood still, his eyes quickly shifting towards the manor's main gate.
And there,
Two figures, one large and one small, slowly emerged from within the manor.
The sunlight spilled onto them, casting two slender shadows.
It was Gao Xuewei and Xiao Xi.
Gao Xuewei's figure was curvaceous and graceful, a moon-white cheongsam tightly embracing her delicate body, perfectly outlining her slender, graspable waist and voluptuous curves.
Her dark hair was styled into an exquisite bun, with only a few wisps falling along her fair neck, adding a touch of gentle charm, like an artistic embellishment in an ink painting.
Her features were picturesque, her eyes like a pool of autumn water, though at this moment they were cold and distant.
Her gaze held the serenity of one who had weathered many storms, yet it could not hide her natural beauty, and her every movement exuded gentleness and resilience.
Xiao Xi hid behind her mother, her small hand clutching a corner of Gao Xuewei's cheongsam, timidly peeking out half her head, like a startled fawn. Her large, watery eyes were filled with unease, staring at Xiao Tianyu as if he were a stranger.
Xiao Tianyu's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes instantly growing hot, and two streams of hot tears gushed out uncontrollably.
His lips trembled slightly as he softly called out, "Xuewei..."
His voice was hoarse, filled with deep affection and guilt, his gaze glued to Gao Xuewei, unable to move even an inch.
Then he looked at Xiao Xi, his eyes reddening, his voice unconsciously softening: "Xiao Xi, I'm Daddy, look at me quickly."
As he spoke, he lifted his leg, intending to step forward, his hands already unconsciously spread open, his heart and eyes filled with the desire to embrace his wife and daughter.
But Gao Xuewei seemed not to hear his call, her beautiful eyes still holding a cold indifference that kept him at a distance, standing quietly in place like a cold sculpture.
Xiao Xi, furthermore, shrank further behind her mother, her small body trembling non-stop, only her eyes showing, looking at Xiao Tianyu timidly and with unfamiliarity.
Xiao Tianyu's footsteps halted abruptly.
As if nailed to the ground, his heart plunged straight into an ice cellar, an ominous premonition entwining his entire body like a vine, almost suffocating him!
