"Since that's the case, you'll accompany me tomorrow!" Lu Fan chuckled, "If we can take over Tianquan Mountain Villa, it won't be difficult to manufacture spiritual liquids!"
Zhao Handong nodded, not daring to disobey Lu Fan's words.
The next day, Lu Fan brought Zhao Handong to Tianquan Mountain Villa.
As soon as they entered the villa, they were stopped by a few people, "Who are you?"
"We're here for business!" Lu Fan smiled, "Could you please inform them that someone wishes to see them?"
"Wait here!"
The security guards of Tianquan Mountain Villa nodded and made a phone call. Only then were Lu Fan and the other man led to the living room.
"May I ask why the two of you have come to Tianquan Mountain Villa?"
A middle-aged man smiled, "Tianquan Mountain Villa is in Qingzhou. It seems we have no prior dealings with anyone!"
"No other intentions!" Lu Fan smiled, "Tianquan Mountain Villa has good water quality, and I wish to acquire the villa."
"Acquire Tianquan Mountain Villa?"
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, puffing on his cigar, "In a small place like Qingzhou, to find someone as arrogant as you!"
Zhao Handong frowned. He had been mentally prepared, but hearing such words made him unhappy.
"We came with sincerity today!"
Lu Fan smiled, "We can discuss any price you name!"
"Tianquan Mountain Villa is not something anyone can covet. You may leave!" The middle-aged man, still smoking his cigar, looked even more disdainful.
Lu Fan's brows furrowed, "Are you the owner of Tianquan Mountain Villa?"
"Of course not!" The middle-aged man smiled, "But I am in charge. Haven't I made myself clear just now?"
"I wish to meet the true owner of Tianquan Mountain Villa!" Lu Fan stated directly.
"Someone, show them out!"
The middle-aged man stood up, his expression growing colder.
"Please, the two of you!" Several men approached.
"What if I refuse to leave?"
Lu Fan chuckled, "I've already said that I want to see your boss!"
"You have no sense of propriety!"
The men's expressions turned hostile. Just as they were about to make a move on Lu Fan, he swept his leg, sending them sprawling onto the ground. Su Dan Novel Network
"You brat, are you insane? How dare you cause trouble at Tianquan Mountain Villa?" the middle-aged man said coldly.
"I said, I want to see your boss!" Lu Fan said in a cold voice.
"What's going on?"
A slightly aged voice sounded, and an old man walked in from outside.
"Master Fu, these ruffians are causing trouble. I'll get rid of him immediately!" the middle-aged man said hurriedly.
Just then, Master Fu looked at Lu Fan, his body trembling slightly, "Wait!"
Lu Fan smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the owner of Tianquan Mountain Villa. I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."
"Is your surname Lu?" Master Fu looked at Lu Fan, "And your name is Lu Fan?"
"That's right!" Lu Fan was surprised, "How do you know?"
"Young Master, is it really you?"
The white-haired old man suddenly knelt down, his eyes filled with excitement.
The middle-aged man was completely bewildered. Master Fu had a formidable background, yet he had never lost his composure like this.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Lu Fan said awkwardly, "I was an orphan since childhood. I'm not some young master!"
"More than ten years ago, the Lu family was massacred. It was this old servant who helped the young master escape. At that time, I was already severely injured, which led to the young master being lost. I never thought I would see the young master again. Now, the young master has grown so much!" The white-haired old man said with tears streaming down his face.
"Massacre?"
Lu Fan's body trembled. His memories of being eight years old resurfaced in his mind.
He remembered walking down the street covered in blood. If he hadn't been saved by the old immortal, he would likely have lost his life.
He wore the jade bracelet from back then, and with Lu Fan's resemblance to his father, Fu Bo recognized him at a glance.
"Who massacred the Lu family back then?"
Lu Fan's aura surged. He had asked the old immortal about the events of that year several times, but he had always been evasive. Now that someone mentioned it, how could he let it go?
"I am the steward of the Lu family. Everyone used to call me Fu Bo!" Fu Bo recalled, "At that time, the young master was only eight years old. There were too many forces who attacked the Lu family, too many..."
"Fu Bo, tell me, who wiped out the entire Lu family!"
Lu Fan's eyes gleamed with cold light. How could he not avenge the destruction of his family?
"It is fortunate that the young master is safe. As for the events of many years ago, it is better not to mention them!" Fu Bo said with a wry smile, "Being able to see the young master grow up happily is likely the family patriarch's wish."
"The revenge for the clan's destruction is irreconcilable!" Lu Fan stated directly, "Why is Fu Bo unwilling to tell me?"
"Those forces are too powerful. With the young master's current strength, how can he be their opponent!" Fu Bo shook his head, "Unless the young master becomes even stronger than them, then I can tell the young master about those events!"
"Fu Bo!" Lu Fan fell silent. After a long while, he said, "Alright. When I become powerful, I hope Fu Bo will fulfill his promise. I will never disappoint Fu Bo either!"
Fu Bo nodded and ordered the middle-aged man to host a banquet at Tianquan Mountain Villa. During the banquet, Fu Bo drank happily and, while reminiscing about the past, shed tears involuntarily.
"I heard earlier that the young master wishes to acquire Tianquan Mountain Villa!" Fu Bo smiled, "Everything in Tianquan Mountain Villa was originally the young master's. It is now a return to the rightful owner. This old servant is willing to follow the young master!"
"This is the foundation that Fu Bo built. How can I claim it as my own!" Lu Fan shook his head, "I only wish to borrow the spring water from Tianquan Mountain Villa!"
"The family patriarch saved my life many times back then. This old servant swore long ago to be loyal to the Lu family for life!" At this point, Fu Bo knelt down, "Besides Tianquan Mountain Villa, I have many other industries that all belong to the Lu family. If the young master does not accept, I will kneel here forever!"
"Fu Bo, there's no need for this!" Lu Fan quickly stood up, "Since that is the case, I agree!"
"Thank you, young master!" Fu Bo nodded quickly and added, "The young master is still young and needs to gain experience in society. When the time is right, we must make those who attacked the Lu family pay the price!"
Lu Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light. He vividly remembered what happened when he was eight years old.
After leaving Tianquan Mountain Villa, Zhao Handong said with a smile, "I never expected the mysterious influential figure of Tianquan Mountain Villa to be Mr. Lu's family retainer. From now on, in Qingzhou, and even in Jiangnan, Mr. Lu will likely rise rapidly!"
"The revenge for the clan's destruction is irreconcilable. It seems I need to consolidate my forces as soon as possible!" Lu Fan sneered.
"This..." Zhao Handong looked somewhat embarrassed. He felt an endless chill emanating from Lu Fan.
Inside Tianquan Mountain Villa, the middle-aged man clasped his hands and said, "Master Fu, is he truly the young master you were looking for?"
"His aura is similar to the family patriarch's. There's absolutely no mistake!"
Fu Bo said in a cold voice, "From now on, serve the young master well. When the time is right, perhaps with the young master's abilities, he can truly avenge the Lu family's deep-seated hatred!"
Upon arriving in Qingzhou city, Lu Fan told Zhao Handong to return to the company, while he himself went to the Qinglong Gate's stronghold.
Han Yunhai had a woman sitting on his lap and was puffing on a cigar with an air of importance.
The office door was kicked open, and Lu Fan entered unceremoniously.
