“Yes, Father. Why did you bring this up suddenly?”
“Isn't the accident that happened to Lu Clan over? Don't tell me that the Westlake incident is related to this person from Jiangdong...” Zhang Zijiang, head of the Zhang family, interrupted.
Back then, the incident that happened to Lu Clan caused a huge stir because a lot of people died.
Not to mention that Lu Clan fell apart after that fateful night.
Any incident that involved the death of more than ten people was considered a major safety accident.
However, since the incident involved hundreds of deaths, the media were all fighting to cover the headline news.
Zhang Zijiang had doubts about whether the incident was purely an accident or carefully staged.
However, the investigators from the province did not suspect any foul play.
Another group of investigators was sent from Yanjing after the province closed the case, but they reached the same conclusion.
Furthermore, the head of Lu Clan, Lu Ziming, seemed to have accepted that and did not pursue the matter after going back to Jiangbei.
After so many years, everyone also believed that it was just an accident.
Nobody expected Zhang Jiuling to bring it up.
“Accident?”
“Do you really think it's just an accident? Don't you know that the family members of Lu Clan are all prominent figures in the martial arts world? Especially the head of the family, Lu Songliang. He is more powerful than I am.”
“Even I can survive bullets. What do you think caused the death of a Grandmaster? And the deaths of hundreds of people in Jiangbei? What can cause the greatest clan in Jiangbei to fall in one day?” Zhang Jiuling asked in a serious tone.
Zhang Xu and the others turned pale as they had never felt this horrified before.
“Was the incident staged?” “Impossible! The investigation teams from the province and Yanjing said it was an accident...” Zhang Xu shook his head, unable to believe what he had heard.
If it really wasn't an accident, why would the country hide the truth from the public and let the perpetrator get away with it?
Were they afraid that the public would panic?
Or were they too afraid to cross the perpetrator?
“Enough.”
“Stop being so naive. You're not kids anymore. You should know that anything you see in this world is only what those in power choose to show you. By shielding you from darkness, do you truly think that darkness will cease to exist?”
“When you find things beyond comprehension, it is because you are narrow-minded and inexperienced.”
“I can tell you that the fall of Lu Clan is not an accident. The man from Jiangdong was the one who killed their whole family!”
“He wiped them out single handedly!”
Silence ensued as Zhang Jiuling's voice echoed through the vast hall.
All that could be heard was the eerie sound of cold wind blowing relentlessly through the window.
Completely stunned, Zhang Xu and the others stared at Zhang Jiuling in disbelief.
Zhang Zixi yelped, “That man killed the whole of Lu Clan?”
“How is that possible, Grandpa? Didn't you say that Lu Songliang was more powerful than you? Even if Mr. Chu is a Grandmaster, he can't be stronger than you. How did he manage to kill the whole of Lu Clan? Besides, I can't tell that Mr. Lu hates Mr. Chu,” Zhang Zixi shook her head as she said.
How can this be?
