The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1159

A furor erupted in Yanjing.

Almost everyone was talking about the Lu and Xur families.

However, most people could only make wild guesses. Only the two families involved knew the truth about what happened.

Meanwhile, in one of the four richest families of Yanjing.

It was late at night, but the lights in the study remained lit while a charming silhouette sat inside and took care of the family business.

Before long, a middle-aged man walked in anxiously and bowed as he greeted her reverently.

Xu Lei nodded. "Uncle, you're here. I asked you to keep an eye on the Lu and Xur families. Did something happen to them recently?"

Ever since Xu Lei came back from Jiangdong, she spent most of her time working on the family's business. However, she continued to keep a close eye on the Xur and Lu families.

After all, based on Xu Lei's understanding of these families, they were bound to seek revenge after Ye Fan killed their offspring.

"Just as you expected, something happened in both their families recently. Last night, Lu Cang-Qiong was sent to the hospital due to severe illness. Also, the Lu family moved away from their estate in the capital to the suburbs."

"Oh? Have they moved? So suddenly?" asked Xu Lei. She looked up from the documents and asked, "Do you know why?"

The man shook his head and said, "For now, I have no idea. I secretly asked a few members of the Lu family, and they had no idea either. It seems the news was sealed, so only key members of the family know the truth."

The smile on his face seemed a little gleeful at their plight.

Xu Lei was instantly intrigued. "Did something happen to Lu He?"

"Yes, exactly. As I understand, Lu He suddenly got suspended for making some mistake. This will be a major blow on their power in Jiangdong,” Xu Feng-Liang chuckled.

Although the Lu family was powerful, Lu He did most of the work.

Now that the country had punished Lu He, he undoubtedly hurt the family at their core. In the future, if Lu He ended up being suspended for good, the Lu family would no longer pose a threat.

To the Xu family, this was good news.

After all, even though the top four powerful families in Yanjing looked like they got along, plenty of secret rivalry went on between them.

In the past, the Xu family always had to swallow their pride and accept any losses they suffered, owing to how powerful the Lu family was.

After all, the Lu family had a far longer family history.

Hence, Xu Feng-Liang was delighted to see them getting into trouble.
