"I guess something happened!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, then looked at Lin Haitao sharply, "Did you send someone to do this?"
"Don't frame an innocent person. Although I don't like him, he is now the person chosen by Lord Lu of Jiangnan. Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't do such a thing." Lin Haitao said repeatedly, "Don't blame me!"
Lu Fan didn't say much and turned to leave the Lin family.
Just as Lin Aotian was about to say something, Lu Fan had already disappeared.
"Haitao, it really wasn't you, was it?" Lin Aotian asked, "This matter is no trivial thing, you should know!"
"Uncle, what are you saying? Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing." Lin Haitao shrugged his shoulders, "After all, Lord Lu of Jiangnan is not to be trifled with. If you provoke him, even if I am the young master of the Lin family, it might not be of any use!"
"It's good that you think so!" Lin Aotian nodded, turned to look at Uncle Wu, "Summon all the Lin family members to search, and at the same time lock down the entire city. We must not let go of any clue! Xiao Ke must not have any accidents!"
Uncle Wu quickly nodded, not daring to delay even a moment. He never expected things to turn out this way.
As soon as Lin Aotian left, Lin Yalan walked over, "What happened? Why are Uncle and the others in such a hurry?"
"Lin Ke is missing." Lin Haitao shrugged his shoulders, "Now there will be a good show to watch!"
"Brother, you didn't do it, did you!" Lin Yalan worried, "This is not a game. If something happens, not only will Lord Lu of Jiangnan not blame you, but it will also be difficult to explain to Lord Lu of Jiangnan."
"My brain isn't malfunctioning, why would I do such a foolish thing." Lin Haitao rolled his eyes, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to look at me like that. Although I am too willful, I still know the gravity of the situation."
"If that were the case, you wouldn't have done such a reckless thing last time!"
Lin Guoli walked over, "Lin Ke is different now, she is not someone you can touch. Did you capture her? If you did, release her quickly!"
"Dad, why don't you believe me? Since I said it wasn't me, it wasn't me!" Lin Haitao said directly, "I am your biological son, don't you even believe my words?"
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Lin Guoli frowned, "If something goes wrong with the person chosen by Lord Lu, even the Lin family might not be able to bear it."
"Dad, is it really that serious!" Lin Yalan frowned, "In Jiangbei, the Lin family also has considerable prestige. Even if Lord Lu of Jiangnan has considerable power, it shouldn't be to this extent!"
"The five hidden families of Jiangnan were all acquired by Lord Lu, which is enough to show Lord Lu's methods." Lin Guoli shook his head, "Quickly send people to search, no mistakes can be made!"
"Dad, why worry so much? If Lin Ke disappears, isn't our sister still here? She is also the pearl of our Lin family. It is only natural for her to marry Lord Lu!" Lin Haitao said with a smile.
"You scoundrel, what do you know!" Lin Guoli cursed, "Do you think Lord Lu chooses people based on their family status? If it were based on family status, it wouldn't be our Lin family's turn!"
"Dad, do you mean Lord Lu already knows about Lin Ke?" Lin Haitao frowned, "Did they have contact when they were in Jiangnan? But why have I never heard of it."
"If they had never met, how could Lord Lu have easily proposed?" Lin Guoli said coldly, "Don't be too clever, or you'll end up regretting it!"
Lin Haitao's expression changed, but he didn't dare to say anything more. His father was right, it was indeed the case.
At this very moment, in the Han family courtyard, many Han family experts showed joy. Old Master Han had broken through to the Grandmaster realm tonight, and their Han family would ascend to a higher level in the future.
"Congratulations to the Family Head for breaking through to Grandmaster!"
Many Han family experts bowed their fists, their hearts filled with immense joy.
Old Master Han's face was beaming, "You are all members of the Han family, so there's no need for such courtesy. Today, I was able to break through to the Grandmaster realm thanks to Lord Lu's assistance. In the future, if Lord Lu has any requests, no member of the Han family shall refuse, even if it means sacrificing their lives!"
"We respectfully obey the Family Head's orders!"
Everyone bowed their fists, their hearts filled with joy. At this point, the entire Han family was bound to flourish.
"If it weren't for Lord Lu, the Han family would have been destroyed long ago." Han Qiushui's eyes welled up with tears, "After today, I plan to follow my master and serve her for a lifetime!"
However, at this moment, Lu Fan's figure arrived, appearing somewhat hurried.
"Greetings, Lord Lu!" All the Han family members bowed, showing great reverence.
"You don't need to be so polite. I have something to ask of you today!" Lu Fan said urgently.
"Lord Lu, I wonder what has happened. Even if the Han family were to face eternal damnation, we would still fulfill Lord Lu's wishes!" Old Master Han clasped his fists and said, "We will never disappoint Lord Lu."
"Lin Ke is missing, and I'm not quite sure who is responsible." Lu Fan said frankly, "Your Han family's strength is not weak in Jiangbei. I would like to ask you to help me find her!"
"Master, don't worry, this matter is on our Han family!" Han Qiushui patted her chest, "Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Lord Lu's person in Jiangbei, the Han family will not let them live past the third watch of the night!"
"That would be for the best!" Lu Fan nodded.
Old Master Han looked at the many Han family experts, "Pass down my order, seal off Jiangbei and search for Miss Lin. If there are any mishaps, bring me your heads!"
"We respectfully obey the Family Head's command!"
Many Han family experts nodded. They had a vast network within the Han family. If they mobilized their subordinates, they could even cause the entire city to commotion. Su Dan Novel Network
Meanwhile, in a large hall, Lin Ke was tied to a pillar. At the main seat of the hall, a middle-aged man was drinking wine, appearing quite casual.
"Third Master, this is Lin Aotian's daughter." The scar-faced man said with a smile, "What are your next orders?"
"His daughter is in my hands, and he must be burning with anxiety right now." Third Master said coldly, "I just don't know how important this daughter is to him. If I ask for half of the Lin family's assets in exchange, do you think he will be willing?"
"Third Master, don't worry, he cares a great deal about this daughter." The scar-faced man laughed, "But if he finds out about this, it will be difficult for him to operate in Jiangbei in the future!"
"This is simply a joke. Whether he can operate in Jiangbei or not is all up to Third Master!"
Du Long said coldly. He was a subordinate of Third Master and had some ability, otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant.
"Scarface, do you know which force in Jiangbei is the most difficult to provoke?" Third Master asked with a cold smile.
"Naturally, it is the Han family of Jiangbei!" The scar-faced man replied respectfully, "The Han family of Jiangbei is a martial arts family, and no one dares to offend them easily. May I ask why Third Master is asking this? Could it be?"
