Chapter 203 Save My Grandpa!!
In Lujia Village, in an ancient house, Lu Ci sat upright on a carved pearwood chair, gazing at his grandson Lu Liang in front of him with complicated eyes.
Lu Liang stood in front of Lu Ci with his hands clenched into fists, obviously experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.
"Liang'er, are you really going to meet those people?" Lu Ci's voice was deep and powerful, each word carrying a tremendous amount of force. His eyes held both worry and a test of Lu Liang's resolve.
Lu Liang nodded firmly, his gaze meeting Lu Ci's without flinching. "Yes, Grandpa. I want to know more of the truth. I can't live in ignorance any longer. I need to know what secrets our Lu family is hiding, the legends about the Shuangquan Hand, and our relationship with the alien world."
Hearing this, Lu Ci couldn't help but sigh, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen at this moment. "The truth is often much more cruel than you imagine. Are you sure you are ready? Once you step into that circle, there is no turning back."
Lu Liang was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering as if he were thinking about something. Finally, he raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. "I'm ready, Grandpa. No matter how cruel the truth is, I'm willing to accept it. I believe that only by understanding the truth can I better protect the Lu family and ourselves."
Lu Ci looked at Lu Liang's determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Just then, the sound of light footsteps shattered the stillness of the room. Lü Ci and Lü Liang turned their heads simultaneously, only to see a servant hurried in and whisper something in Lü Ci's ear. Lü Ci's expression changed slightly, then he nodded, signaling the servant to leave.
"It seems someone can't hold it back any longer." Lu Ci stood up and looked out the window with a sharp gaze. Seeing this, Lu Liang's heart tightened. He knew who his grandfather was referring to.
At dusk, in the woods outside Lujia Village, several figures quietly moved through the darkness. They were dressed in night clothes and had masks on their faces, revealing only pairs of vigilant eyes.
These people were Li Qiankun and others. They quietly entered Lujia Village under the cover of night.
Li Qiankun whispered to those around him, "Everyone, be careful. Our goal this time is to investigate the situation in Lujia Village, especially the secret of Shuangquan Hand. Remember, don't alert the enemy."
Everyone nodded in understanding upon hearing this. They continued on their way and soon arrived at the outskirts of Lujia Village.
There are tall houses scattered in the village, with towering ancient trees and lush branches and leaves, as if the whole village is covered with a layer of green coat.
Li Qiankun and the others marveled at the simplicity and tranquility of Lujia Village. They had never seen such a large and rich family before. They carefully observed their surroundings and whispered about the Lu family's style and heritage.
Meanwhile, in a house in Lüjia Village, Lü Liang was pacing anxiously. His face was pale, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. It was clear that he was experiencing intense fear and struggle within.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Lu Liang muttered to himself, "I never thought things would develop to this point. I just wanted to help my sister, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble. Now people from the company have come to my door, and the people from Longhu Mountain are also watching covetously. I feel like a duck being roasted on the fire, and I could be roasted at any time."
Thinking of this, Lu Liang couldn't help but shudder. He knew he had reached a dead end. If he didn't find a solution quickly, he might be in real danger of death. So, he gritted his teeth and decided to go to Lu Ci for help.
In Lü Ci's house, Lü Liang sat quietly, waiting for his grandfather's decision. Lü Ci stood by the window, gazing deeply into the distance, as if pondering something.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room. Lu Liang rushed in with a pleading look on his face. He knelt before Lu Ci, his hands tightly grasping Lu Ci's robe. "Grandpa, please help me. You are the only one who can help me now."
Seeing Lu Liang like this, Lu Ci couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He hadn't expected his grandson to be so disappointing as to do such a foolish thing. He pulled Lu Liang up and glared at him, "I help you? How can I help you? You caused this trouble yourself, so you should solve it yourself!"
Lu Liang stumbled as Lu Ci dragged him, nearly falling to the ground. After regaining his balance, he continued to plead, "Grandpa, you can't just stand by and watch me die. We're family. Can you just watch me die?"
"A family?" Lu Ci sneered, "You still know we are a family? When you did this, did you ever think about us being a family? Did you ever think about the reputation and safety of the Lu family?"
Lu Liang was speechless after hearing Lu Ci's words. He could only lower his head and silently endure Lu Ci's scolding. After a while, he finally mustered the courage to defend himself, "I... I had no choice at the time. I just wanted to help my sister. I didn't expect things to develop like this."
"Help? Are you helping? You're harming!" Lu Ci shouted angrily, "You're harming the Lu family, and you're harming yourself! What do you think you can do to help? You're only making things worse!"
Lu Liang was scolded by Lu Ci and although he was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. But I really don't want to die now. Please help me. As long as you can help me get through this difficult time, I will obey you in everything from now on."
Seeing Lu Liang's wretched appearance, Lu Ci couldn't help but feel a surge of disappointment and anger. He knew that this grandson had completely fallen and could no longer shoulder the responsibility of the Lu family.
However, as the elder of the Lu family, he could not just watch Lu Liang die.
So, Lu Ci took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked at Lu Liang and said, "I can help you, but you must remember, this is your last chance. If you dare to do anything out of line again, I will show no mercy. Also, you must give up the Shuangquan Hand. Although the Shuangquan Hand is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Do you think you can do whatever you want just by controlling others? Let me tell you, it's only temporary. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light. When that happens, not only will you lose everything, you will also become the laughing stock of the entire alien world."
Upon hearing this, Lu Liang's face turned pale. Although he was dissatisfied, he knew that what Lu Ci said was true. He gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. But I really don't want to die now. I am willing to give up Shuangquan Hands, just ask you to save my life."
Lu Ci looked at Lu Liang, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He knew his grandson had reached a dead end. If he didn't help him, his life would be in danger. But what would helping him mean? It would mean the Lu family would be dragged into this crisis again, facing pressure from the company and threats from Longhu Mountain.
Thinking of this, Lu Ci couldn't help but sigh. He knew he had made a decision, and no matter what the consequences of this decision were, he would have to bear them. So, he patted Lu Liang on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll help you. But you have to remember, this is your last chance. Be a good person from now on, and don't cause trouble again."
Lü Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. He knew that he was able to save his life this time thanks to Lü Ci's help, and he must be a good person in the future to repay Lü Ci's kindness.
At the same time, in the woods outside Lujia Village, Li Qiankun and others had completed the preliminary investigation.
