After sending Yu Wenqi away, Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence and muttered to himself, "What exactly is Lu Maoxian’s intention in trying to entangle me? I haven’t had much direct contact with him, and I really don’t know what kind of person he is."
Others were familiar with Li Banfeng’s temperament and knew that it was best not to disturb him when he was talking to himself.
The Projector had just arrived not long ago and thought that Li Banfeng was asking them something, so he took the initiative to answer, "Seventh Guide, I am quite familiar with Lu Maoxian’s temperament. He’s indeed vigorous despite his age, truly vigorous!"
The Gloves slapped the Projector lightly, "You really don’t know the rules. Don’t interrupt when the master is pondering."
Li Banfeng was actually quite interested and asked the Projector, "What do you mean by vigorous despite his age?"
The Projector displayed a segment of footage. "This is what I recorded from Lu Maoxian’s place a while back, using Ling Miaoying’s hook. Most of the film isn’t on me. I only kept a short clip. Seventh Guide, take a look. Three ladies at once, isn’t that vigorous despite his age?"
Li Banfeng watched, engrossed.
The Phonograph scoffed, "Short, really short. Such a pity for these three fine young women. I say, Husband, why are you looking so closely? This old thing is far inferior to you."
Li Banfeng asked the Projector, "Is this Lu Maoxian’s home?"
The Projector replied, "Yes, he’s got hooks in his bedroom!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Banfeng said, "Play that segment of footage ten times."
"Ten times?" the Phonograph said in astonishment. "Husband, what’s gotten into you? Is it really that interesting?"
Li Banfeng shook his head. "There’s nothing interesting about it, but I can’t figure out what Lu Maoxian is doing. I need to consult someone who does."
"Well, Husband, who is this knowledgeable person you want to find?"
"Lu Maoxian. Isn’t he the one behind all this?"
The Phonograph was confused.
Li Banfeng watched the film intently, noting every detail in the room.
...
In the bedroom, Lu Maoxian swallowed an Elixir, trying to keep his body in the best possible condition.
Everyone in the house capable of fighting had been sent out.
Some were entangling Tan Fucheng, some were monitoring Ma Wu, and the most important group was out to claim the head of Lu Chunying.
Tang Peigong had just sent the news that Li Banfeng had been delayed at Black Stone Slope.
It was too late for him to return now.
According to Lu Maoxian’s estimation, Zuo Wugang and his men, throwing their lives into the fray, could hold out for at most around ten minutes.
In such a short time, none of them—Li Qi, Ma Wu, or Tan Fucheng—could rush over to provide reinforcements.
Once Lu Chunying was dead, the news would be immediately released and pinned on Duan Shaoxia.
Everyone knew Duan Shaoxia bore a grudge against Lu Chunying, and she would have no way to defend herself.
Having killed the Lu Family’s daughter, Lu Maoxian could logically expel Duan Shaoxia from the Lu Family, and even killing her would seem reasonable.
At that time, Lu Maoxian would rightfully become the Lu Family’s Head.
Then he would focus on dealing with He Jiaqing and take his revenge!
The thought of this matter made Lu Maoxian gnash his teeth in hatred!
Even though He Jiaqing had disguised the act, Lu Maoxian was certain that He Jiaqing was behind it. He had reported the matter to the Sage’s Disciples, but the Sage deemed him incompetent and instead sent a Disciple in White to scold him.
"Absolutely foolproof, absolutely foolproof!" Lu Maoxian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
SHINK!
A Tang Sword suddenly pierced through Lu Maoxian’s chest.
A voice whispered in his ear, "Tell me, what exactly is absolutely foolproof?"
PS: Lu Maoxian’s butler was bought out by Duan Shaoxia, which was introduced in Chapter three hundred and eight.
