The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1139

"Fei, leave before anyone notices you."

Everyone at Haiyuan Restaurant started making plans fortheir loved ones amidst the shocking news of whom they were to receive next.

Shen Jiu-Yi and Old Master Xia secretly urged Shen Fei and Xia Xue to slip away while everyone was still in a state of shock.

After all, Lu Cang-Qiong's arrival was only going to make matters worse for them.

"What are you afraid of, Dad? We have Mr Chu. He got an entire army to kneel before him. Even the Military God has declared his loyalty to Mr Chu. Lu Cang-Qiong is just an old man. He might be amazing when he was young but he's retired now. Why should we be afraid of someone who doesn't have any real power? Besides, he might not even be as incredible as Mr Chu is right now when he was younger," said Shen Fei confidently.

Shen Fei had known Ye Fan for a long time. His Brother Fan had never disappointed him when it came to showing others what he was truly made of.

He had proven himself during the fight at Mount Tai, at the Midautumn Night Auction and at the battle at Dongchang Lake.

The Xur family had thrown everything that they had got at Mr Chu and the young man had taken them down effortlessly.

Shen Fei was convinced that he had made the right choice in pledging his loyalty to Brother Fan.

"That's right, Grandpa. Shen Fei makes a lot of sense. Look at how amazing Mr Chu is! Lu Cang-Qiong is just an old man who's retired a long time ago. His presence isn't going to change anything. He doesn't hold any actual power," said Xia Xue as she echoed Shen Fei's sentiments.

Neither Shen Fei nor Xia Xue believed that Lu Cang-Qiong's arrival would change anything.

Mr Chu had made the army and the Military God submit to his authority, after all. That was how incredibly powerful he was.

What power did the Lu family hold? Did they truly possess such incredible power that they could turn the tide of this fight?

"You children know nothing. Lu Cang-Qiong might be retired but his words still hold sway in China. You cannot imagine the degree of power and influence that the Lu family wields. Lu Cang-Qiong's son, Lu He, is one of the most powerful men in China. He's a top ranking official in the government and has the ear of our most powerful leaders. Lu He's the one with actual and immense political clout."

What?

"Lu He is his son?” blurted out Shen Fei. The mention of that name had him reeling back in shock.

He had heard that name mentioned countless times in the news.

But he had not expected this incredibly powerful figure to be Lu Cang-Qiong's son.

That explained why He Lan-Shan had had to receive Lu Cang-Qiong in person when the old man had arrived in Yunzhou.

It had been because the old man's son was Lu He.

"Whose son did you think he was? The Lu family is one of the four most powerful families in Yanjing because of the political influence that they wield. The members of the Lu family are scattered across the whole country and hold important positions in various levels of the government."

"Lu Cang-Qiong himself is one of the pioneers of this nation and a well-respected figure in the country. He fought alongside our head of state. He's one of the few reasons why the descendants of the Lu family are able to enjoy their current prestige right now. He might be old but he continues to hold sway in our country." "He Shan-Lan's got to listen to what he says too. Do you still think that he's just an old man whom we do not have to fear at all?" said Shen Jiu-Yi sternly to his son. His face had gone pale.

Shen Fei and Xia Xue had reeled back in shock after hearing Shen Jiu-Yi's words. Their legs seemed to have turned to jelly while tremors coursed through their bodies uncontrollably.
