"Help me lure them out?"

Lu Tianxing smirked coldly: "You can easily betray your own friends, how do I know you won’t betray me? Besides, you should know my character; I believe in eliminating threats completely, never sparing my enemies, so as to prevent unnecessary troubles later."

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Chen Kunchang was terrified to the core but still forced himself to suppress his fear and pleaded: "Please give me another chance. If you spare my life, I can give you a useful piece of information that I think you would really want to know."

Lu Tianxing glanced at Chen Kunchang, his eyes slightly flashing, and said indifferently: "What’s the news?"

"As long as you promise to spare me, I’ll tell you this information."

This time, Chen Kunchang didn’t reveal the information directly but looked at Lu Tianxing and said: "I believe this news is extremely important to you, Third Young Master Lu. If you don’t know it, you might regret it for the rest of your life. Trading my life for this news is a gain for you, without a doubt."

Hearing Chen Kunchang’s words, Lu Tianxing didn’t reply immediately but bowed his head in thought, pondering what kind of secret Chen Kunchang possibly knew, daring to disregard his threat and negotiating terms. He even said if this news was missed, it would lead to lifelong regret.

This made Lu Tianxing hesitate; he believed Chen Kunchang wasn’t bluffing and definitely wouldn’t dare to deceive him on this matter, as the current situation was clearly lopsided; Chen Kunchang surely understood what the consequence of cheating would be.

"What exactly is the news?" Lu Tianxing slowly lowered his head, gazed at Chen Kunchang, and asked.

Chen Kunchang took a deep breath and said: "Third Young Master Lu, you haven’t agreed to my condition. As long as you agree, I can tell you this news, and I assure you, trading my life for it is entirely to your advantage."

"Brother, don’t believe him, he..."

Just then, Mandala walked to Lu Tianxing’s side and reminded him.

"Manman, I know what I’m doing."

Lu Tianxing waved his hand, interrupting Mandala, and looked deeply at Chen Kunchang, saying: "I can promise you that as long as you reveal this news, I will spare your life. Moreover, no one around me will lay a finger on you, allowing you to leave here alive. I swear by the Lu Family’s name."

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Chen Kunchang didn’t speak immediately but looked deeply at Lu Tianxing, seemingly weighing the truth of his words. After all, there were only him, Lu Tianxing, and Mandala here, and even if Lu Tianxing went back on his word, he had no recourse—his only option now was to gamble on Lu Tianxing sparing him.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Kunchang finally chose to speak: "I overheard this news from Tang Qingyun and Yang Juechen, I’m not entirely sure if it’s true, so I hope you understand, Third Young Master Lu."

Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything, just gestured for Chen Kunchang to continue.

"The news is that Tang Qingyun came to Beijing not only to deal with you but more importantly to marry the Mu Family’s little princess, Mu Qingxue..."

Before Chen Kunchang could finish, Lu Tianxing’s expression grew icy cold, his gaze piercing as it fell on Chen Kunchang, with a hint of savage intensity: "Repeat what you just said. If you dare lie to me, I’ll make sure you suffer painfully."

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s chilling words, Chen Kunchang’s face changed again: "I don’t know all the details, just that Tang Qingyun has supposedly entered into a marriage agreement with Mu Qingxue, and they plan to get engaged on the fifth of this month. At that time, Tang Qingyun will marry Mu Qingxue and take her to the Tang Family. Additionally, it’s said that during this period, the Mu Family heiress has been kept imprisoned at home, forbidden from stepping outside the Mu household..."

Hearing Chen Kunchang’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face went pale and icy, exuding a dense, chilling killing intent, causing the entire room’s temperature to drop dramatically, making one feel unnervingly cold.

No wonder Mu Qingxue seemed odd the last time she left; she probably already knew about marrying Tang Qingyun at that time. Lu Tianxing also vaguely sensed that Mu Qingxue marrying Tang Qingyun was possibly linked to his affair.

After all, Mu Qingxue had helped him several times. Knowing the temperament of these large families like the Mu Family, they wouldn’t normally help the Lu Family so easily, a family once opposed by all. But the Mu Family did help, and insisting there was no exchange of interest is unbelievable to Lu Tianxing.

Previously, he was unaware of the specific interest exchange, but now he understood: the Mu Family helped him likely because Mu Qingxue offered her marriage in trade.

Though he wasn’t clear on the end reason why Mu Qingxue was marrying Tang Qingyun, Lu Tianxing knew very well that he must visit Beijing.

Meanwhile, sensing the suffocating killing intent emanating from Lu Tianxing, Chen Kunchang involuntarily shivered, his voice trembling as he said: "Lu... Lu Tianxing, I’ve told you everything I know. Please spare me, I promise I won’t ever oppose you again."

"Spare you?"

Lu Tianxing slowly focused on Chen Kunchang, his lips curling into an enigmatic smile: "Rest assured, I’ll keep my promise. I won’t kill you. However, before that, I have one last thing to do. Then, I’ll let you go."

Listening to Lu Tianxing, Chen Kunchang’s heart suddenly sank, overtaken by a strong sense of foreboding, instinctively wanting to turn and flee.

"Whoosh!"

But before he could make any move, Lu Tianxing’s silhouette appeared before him, stomping directly on his Dantian, and with a surge of violent True Qi, shattered it.

Chen Kunchang couldn’t help but unleash a wailing scream, collapsing as if deflated, spitting out blood helplessly, his throat ragged as he cried out: "Lu... Lu Tianxing, you broke your promise, you broke your promise..."

With his Dantian destroyed, he became a complete cripple, with only a dead-end awaiting him. The Yanhuang Group wouldn’t spare him, nor would those he once faced.
