<strong>Chapter 1179: Chapter 1172: The Mysterious Jiang Haochen</strong>


    Hearing what Lu Haoyue said, Lu Tianxing frowned slightly and said with a pained expression, “Come on, you’re the future head of the Lu Family, can’t you stop being so timid? Are you sure Grandpa won’t p you dead if he finds out?”


    Lu Haoyue looked at the disdain in Lu Tianxing’s eyes and smiled bitterly, “It’s not that I’m timid, but I can’t figure out Jiang Haochen. Even though I’m the leader among the Suzhou Four Young Masters and the other two are nothing to me, Jiang Haochen is the one person I can’t fathom. I don’t understand him and can’t predict him, but vaguely, I can feel a threat from him—more terrifying than the threat you pose—a threat of death.”


    After listening to Lu Haoyue, Lu Tianxing said in a deep voice, “To my knowledge, Jiang Haochen is at most at the Heavenly Peak level, while you are at the Peak of Early Stage Mythical now. Killing him should be easy, so why do you suddenly have this feeling?”


    Lu Haoyue replied with a solemn expression, “That’s exactly why I can’t figure Jiang Haochen out. I once secretly investigated Jiang Haochen, but found nothing unusual about him. He seemed just like any other child of a noble family. Yet these ordinary traits only make me feel Jiang Haochen is extraordinary. He may be hiding a secret unknown to us.”


    “It seems Jiang Haochen is more mysterious than we imagined,” Lu Tianxing said.


    Lu Haoyue nodded, “Indeed, that’s why I don’t want to provoke Jiang Haochen. I constantly feel he could threaten my life, even though this feeling is unfounded, but I trust my instincts.”


    “Your instincts? Do you think you’re a woman with a sixth sense?”


    Lu Tianxing responded speechlessly, “Anyway, I think you need to improve your strength urgently; otherwise…”


    Lu Tianxing did not finish his sentence, as his mind involuntarily recalled the words Lu Bowen had said to him, and his expression became somewhat gloomy.


    Seeing the change in Lu Tianxing’s face, Lu Haoyue immediately asked, “Cousin, what’s wrong? Do you know something?”


    Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing asked in confusion, “You don’t know about this matter?”


    Lu Haoyue was slightly stunned, “Know about what?”


    “Oh, nothing.”


    Lu Tianxing looked at Lu Haoyue, finally shook his head, and said, “I mean if you don’t hurry up and strengthen yourself, the position of Family Head of the Lu Family will be mine, and I won’t be polite then.”


    Lu Haoyue said nothing, just stared intently at Lu Tianxing, “Cousin, are you hiding something from me?”


    “Hiding from you? What could I possibly hide from you? Oh right, I drank too much earlier and need to rush to the bathroom. See youter.”


    Before he finished speaking, Lu Tianxing hurriedly turned and walked in another direction.


    Watching Lu Tianxing leave, Lu Haoyue’s expression became somber as he looked at Lu Tianxing’s back. His intuition told him Lu Tianxing definitely knew something rted to the Lu Family’s future, but with Lu Tianxing not speaking, he had no means of finding out.


    Meanwhile, in another direction, Luan Hongyue was speaking with a young handsome man, but her peripheral vision was constantly observing changes on Lu Tianxing’s side. When she saw Lu Tianxing walking alone towards the restroom, a sh of light appeared in Luan Hongyue’s eyes.


    “Young Master Jiang, I’m sorry, I just remembered I have a matter to handle, please excuse me for a moment,” Luan Hongyue said to the man beside her.


    The man was none other than Jiang Haochen, whom Luan Hongyue was apprehensive about.


    “No worries, Hong Yue, if you have business, go ahead! Don’t mind me,” Jiang Haochen said with a smile.


    Luan Hongyue said no more and turned to walk in the direction where Lu Tianxing had disappeared.


    After Luan Hongyue left, the smile on Jiang Haochen’s face disappeared, reced by a hint of gloom. From the time Luan Hongyue and Lu Tianxing began speaking, he had been paying attention to them. Now that Lu Tianxing left and Luan Hongyue followed, heading clearly in the direction of Lu Tianxing’s disappearance, his face became as dark as water.


    “Young Master Jiang, it seems Luan Hongyue has taken a fancy to the Third Young Master of Lu Family. Should we…?” a young man staying with Jiang Haochen asked quietly.


    “Shut up,”


    Jiang Haochen’s voice was filled with a low fury, his fingers clenched tightly together, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Ever since he met Luan Hongyue, he had been pursuing her, but unfortunately, although Luan Hongyue never outright rejected his advances, she also never epted them, nor did she let him gain any advantage, always maintaining a hint of distance.


    Yet now Luan Hongyue seemed to favor Lu Tianxing significantly, making Jiang Haochen, who regarded Luan Hongyue as his woman, feel a sting of betrayal.


    “Lu Tianxing, Luan Hongyue…”


    Jiang Haochen repeatedly murmured their names, his head bowed, icy cold breaths emanating from him, causing several noble family scions standing near him to subconsciously step back several paces, wanting to distance themselves.


    Simultaneously, in the men’s restroom, Lu Tianxing stood in front of the sink, a bitter smile on his face, wishing he could p himself. He originally thought Lu Haoyue already knew about Old Master Lu’s matter. But upon speaking, he found Lu Haoyue waspletely in the dark. Clearly, Lu Bowen had not informed Lu Haoyue, hence his excuse to leave.


    Lu Tianxing turned on the faucet, washed his face, and intended to leave.


    Just as Lu Tianxing turned, the restroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Luan Hongyue walked in, immediately locking the door.


    Seeing Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing was slightly surprised, “What are you doing here?”


    “I’m obviously here to find you,”


    Luan Hongyue turned, gazing seductively at Lu Tianxing, “I’m really curious to know if the Lu Family’s yboy Third Young Master truly finds women’s bodies unappealing.”


    Hearing Luan Hongyue, Lu Tianxing remained calm, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and said indifferently, “Miss Luan, I can answer your question. Your body is like a model and quite attractive to me, but I’m sorry, you as a person don’t appeal to me, which I regret. Also, Miss Luan, this is a men’s restroom. Isn’t it inappropriate for a woman to intrude unannounced?”
