Chapter 1404 Old Master Chu's Request

We arrived at the inner hall of the Chu family's old residence.

Chu Dingbang was fiddling with the tea set in front of him when he saw Lu Feng. This former star actually stood up and came to greet him.

"Xiao Feng, you've finally deigned to come and see this old man."

The old man stood up as he spoke.

Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly stepped forward and stopped the old man's actions.

He wouldn't dare let his former peak rise to greet him.

This was not just a deterrent from his status, but also a sign of his heartfelt respect.

"Grandpa, I'd love to spend more time with you, but I'm just too busy. I don't even have time to spend with my girlfriend right now!"

Lu Feng placed the gift box on the table, shrugged, and looked helpless.

"Haha, I was just kidding. You young people should keep busy."

"The future of China depends on you. How can we old folks who are already buried in the ground waste your time?"

Chu Dingbang said with a smile, while also inviting Lu Feng to sit down.

"Come here, Xiao Feng, let me introduce you. This is my son, Chu Tianyi!"

He pointed to Chu Tianyi, who was seated.

"Grandpa, Uncle Chu and I have already gotten to know each other." Lu Feng nodded slightly.

Upon hearing the words "Uncle Chu," Chu Dingbang's wrinkles smoothed out somewhat.

Even though he didn't interfere, he knew the current state of the Chu family very well based on his years of political experience.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be: outwardly glamorous, but inwardly fraught with danger.

The position of one of the four great families can be said to be the ultimate dream of all the prominent families in the entire country.

During the internal strife among the four major families, all the other powerful families watched and waited for the collapse of the century-old order of the four families so that they could get a share of the spoils.

But what they didn't expect was that while the order of the four major families had collapsed, before they could even react, the Chu family had become one of the new four major families.

This infuriated the families who were eager to enter the ranks of the four major families, but what's done is done, and there was nothing they could do about it.

However, this does not mean that their anger has disappeared.

The current situation may seem calm, but turbulent undercurrents are already brewing beneath the surface.

All the powerful families were waiting for a new opportunity, a chance to drive the Chu family out of power and take their place.

Therefore, the Chu family needs a powerful ally, and among the many forces, no one is more suitable than Lu Feng.

The tea was ready quickly.

The three of them drank tea and chatted.

The atmosphere became very harmonious for a moment.

The conversation continued until dinner time, when Chu Tianyi was sent away by Chu Dingbang under an excuse, away from the small table.

Lu Feng keenly sensed something was wrong. After Chu Tian had walked a distance away, he lowered his voice and said:

"Grandpa, did you specifically send Uncle Chu away? Is there something inconvenient about it?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise quickly crossed Chu Dingbang's eyes:

"You little rascal, nothing can be kept from you."

“That’s right. The things we’re about to discuss are not suitable for Tianyi to hear. After all, these are private matters, and he is still the top official in Shaanxi Province.”

"Family affairs and national affairs should be kept separate."

The old man lowered his voice as well: "The higher-ups have already taken action against the aristocratic families. I've received information that the Chu family, as one of the newly emerging four aristocratic families, needs to take the lead in this great purge."

"I'm not worried about external affairs. Hongjin has the ability to cooperate with those above to resolve them, but..."

At this point, Chu Dingbang paused, seemingly reluctant: "Internally, she is still somewhat soft-hearted."

“These days, I have been secretly investigating and have discovered that both the Chu family and the Qin family have some parasites who abuse their family background to do evil.”

"I have compiled the list and would like to trouble you to submit it for me."

"this........"

Lu Feng hesitated upon hearing this.

The old man's meaning was clear: Qin Hongjin was too soft-hearted internally and could not perfectly fulfill the role of internal purge.

He himself wanted to avoid suspicion, so the so-called list had to be submitted by an outsider.

The matter is quite clear at this point.

But to be honest, he didn't want to do it.

Because this is clearly something that will offend people, after all, the people on that list who are to be dealt with are all from the Chu family and even the Qin family, and are all relatives of Qin Hongjin and Chu Tianyi.

If the two of them hold a grudge against him because of this, then all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

"Grandpa, why don't you find someone else to do this? It's not really appropriate for me to do it."

Lu Feng spoke softly, attempting to refuse.

However, what awaited him was the old man's resolute shake of his head:

"No, no one else can do this; only you can!"

"why?"

Lu Feng was somewhat puzzled, then suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his voice held a hint of uncertainty:

"Is it because of Uncle Li?"

He said this because he remembered that the representative from above who was targeting the aristocratic families was Li Zhengguo.

“That’s right, that’s the reason. Only the list you gave him can convey our Chu family’s firm support for the orders from above.”

"Otherwise, if it were handed over by an old man like me or someone else, there would be an element of showmanship involved to some extent."

Chu Dingbang took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice.

"But......."

Lu Feng was still somewhat hesitant.

“There’s no ‘but.’ Kid, I know what you’re worried about, but you don’t need to worry at all. The reason I did this is just because I was afraid that Tianyi and Hongjin might soften their hearts.”

"In fact, they know the gravity of the situation and won't blame you for it!"

Chu Dingbang put down his teacup: "If all else fails, this old man can owe another favor, is that alright?"

With things having come to this point, seeing Chu Dingbang's resolute expression, Lu Feng had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Soon, it was time for the dinner.

Because Lu Feng was there, Qin Hongjin specially called her son and daughter back.

The purpose was to get them closer to Lu Feng.

By the time the banquet ended, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Since Li Zhengguo's teasing during the day was still fresh in their minds, Lu Feng and Shen Suyuan decided to stay outside Shen Garden this time.

The second floor of the villa.

The two lay embracing on the bed, an ambiguous atmosphere filling the entire room.

"Ah Feng, what do the Chu family want with you today?"

Shen Suyuan nestled in Lu Feng's arms and asked in a coquettish tone.

"It's nothing, it's just..."

As Lu Feng stroked Shen Suyuan's shoulders, which were whiter than an egg, he recounted the events of the day.

"So, is the move by the higher-ups really that big this time?" Shen Suyuan asked, somewhat surprised.

She knew something about the plan to deal with the powerful families, but she didn't expect that even the four major families would be affected this time.

It should be noted that in the past, such actions would exclude the four major families, which is one of their privileges.

"This time it's different from the previous ones. The scale of the operation is unprecedented. I even heard Elder Chu say..."
