Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 69 - Sixty-eight Guess

Chapter 69: Sixty-eight, Guess

After thorough investigation, Luo Qianyu had confirmed his suspicions.

Once Li Qi had escorted everyone out, Luo Qianyu made a phone call. Regardless of whether Luo Shu had space and Spiritual Spring on him, he could not let this secret be leaked.

Having made all the arrangements, Luo Qianyu got into the car and headed to the accident scene.

As he looked upon the chaotic scene before him, Luo Qianyu couldn’t help but frown. Although there were many people handling the situation, the severity of last night’s incident was still evident from the luggage piled on the ground, many bags stained with jarring bloodstains.

When he arrived at the broken section of the train tracks, Luo Qianyu immediately smelled something akin to gunpowder. People from the Luo family had always been extremely sensitive to smells, capable of detecting such odors if they had been present.

Upon close examination of the fractured tracks, a glint of realization flashed in Luo Qianyu’s eyes. It seemed the incident had not been an accident, but rather an intentional act. What could the perpetrator’s motive be?

“What are you doing standing here? Can’t you see we’re busy? Move away!” came a worker’s reprimanding voice from behind.

Luo Qianyu snapped back to reality, his brows knitting slightly as he stepped towards his car.

“Young Master!” Seeing Luo Qianyu approaching, his subordinate quickly opened the car door for him.

Luo Qianyu turned his head to glance at the distant mountain range, reflected for a moment, then stepped into the car. He suspected that Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo might now be somewhere in the Yunxiang Mountain Range, but he did not intend to send people to look for them. Although he yearned to see Luo Shu, he believed that if they were fated, they would meet again. And he was very much looking forward to that day.

At the Lu family, chaos had already ensued.

Zhu Huizhen, having heard about her son Lu Hanmo’s accident, had fainted several times and was now lying on the sofa, drained of strength. Everyone advised her to rest in her room, but she insisted on waiting for news right there, and they had no choice but to let her be. After all, she was Lu Hanmo’s mother.

Old Master Lu’s complexion was also extremely grim. If it hadn’t been for Luo Qianyu having already cured his illness, he would have collapsed by now. Hanmo was the grandson he valued most, and he had placed all his hopes for the Lu family on him. How could he not worry and grieve knowing Hanmo’s fate was uncertain? But he refused to believe that Hanmo was simply gone.

Finally, the long-awaited telephone ring echoed.

Lu Zhengyang stepped forward, picking up the phone first. As Lu Hanmo’s father, he had the right to be the first to know about his son’s condition.

All eyes converged on Lu Zhengyang, filled with anxiety, concern, anticipation, and some with a hint of schadenfreude…

“Good! I’ve got it,” Lu Zhengyang said a few words and then hung up the phone, looking at everyone with a somewhat heavy tone, “The list has come out, Hanmo’s name is not on the death list, nor is it found on the list of those rescued.”

Zhu Huizhen abruptly stood up from the sofa, lunged forward, and grabbed Lu Zhengyang’s collar, her eyes filled with agitation, “Then where is Hanmo? Where did he go?”

Lu Zhengyang wrapped his arms around Zhu Huizhen, gently patting her back, “Don’t worry, Hanmo will come back, he won’t leave us behind.” Although his words were meant to comfort his wife, they were also a reassurance to himself.

Master Lu looked down, silent and staring ahead. However, his tightly clenched walking stick and his bloodless hands revealed that his mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

After a while, Master Lu stood up.

“Master!” the butler hurried forward to support Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu shook his head and pushed the butler’s hand away, “I’m fine, just a bit tired. I’ll go rest for a while.”

Saying this, he, with his faltering steps and leaning on his cane, slowly made his way upstairs. As long as Hanmo’s name was not on the death list, he believed Hanmo would definitely come back.

Before he reached upstairs, the telephone in the living room rang again.

Old Master Lu stopped in his tracks and turned his head to see Lu Zhengyang had already picked up the phone.

After saying a few words, Lu Zhengyang looked up at Old Master Lu who stood on the stairs looking down at him, “Dad, it’s Doctor Luo on the phone. He says he has something to discuss with you privately.”

Old Master Lu let out a long sigh and nodded, “Ask him to wait a moment, I’ll talk to him in my room.” Right now, he really wasn’t in the mood to take any calls, but he couldn’t ignore a call from Luo Qianyu.

After closing the door to his room, Old Master Lu stepped forward and picked up the telephone, “Hello, Doctor Luo!” His voice carried a hint of weariness. Even though he firmly believed that nothing had happened to Lu Hanmo, he couldn’t truly be at peace until he received news of Lu Hanmo’s safety.

“Grandpa Lu, there’s no need for such formality with me. The reason I’m calling is to tell you something. I’ve been to the scene of the incident, and it seems that Lu Hanmo wasn’t involved in the accident,” stated Luo Qianyu.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu’s eyes brightened a bit, “Really? Then why isn’t there any news of him?” With the Lu family’s extensive network, it was surprising they couldn’t find any information about Hanmo.

“I have sealed off the information because this incident wasn’t an accident, but orchestrated by someone,” Luo Qianyu dropped the startling news.

“How do you know that?” Old Master Lu asked somewhat agitatedly.

“I’ve examined the section of the track where the accident occurred, and there are traces of explosives. I believe this incident was likely targeting Lu Hanmo,” Luo Qianyu shared his analysis. After returning, he had people investigate Lu Hanmo’s recent experiences and had noticed several issues, which led to his speculation.

“You mean to say, someone intended to kill Hanmo and didn’t hesitate to make the entire train their funeral?” Old Master Lu asked in an even tone; though his voice betrayed no anger, it carried an unsettling chill and the authority of a man who had once commanded great power.

He too had once emerged from a battlefield strewn with corpses and seas of blood. Even though the murderous aura he once carried had diminished with age, that imposing air would naturally surface when he was angered.

“That’s correct!” confirmed Luo Qianyu.

“I understand, thank you, Doctor Luo!” thanked Old Master Lu with gratitude. He now knew what he needed to do next.

Time flew rapidly, and before they knew it, a week had already passed.

During this week, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo traveled by day and cultivated at night. Life was quite enjoyable. However, they were also worried because their family did not know their current situation. But with no villages ahead or stores behind, they simply had no way to inform their families.

“About fifty more miles, and we’ll be able to get out,” estimated Lu Hanmo. He had studied maps before, and according to their current route, it would take no more than three days to get out of the Yunxiang Mountain Range.
