"A way to survive?"

With a hint of sarcasm on his lips, Lu Changchuan glanced coldly at the three-clawed crocodile and asked, "Did you give him a chance to live?"

With just one sentence, the three-clawed crocodile's heart sank.

Who in the imperial capital doesn't know that Fourth Master Lu, who died young, was the most talented person of his generation in the Lu family?

In terms of talent, character, and bearing, not only in the Lu family, but also in the entire wealthy families in the imperial capital, Fourth Master Lu is undoubtedly the number one.

But unfortunately, he died in Lucheng during a short trip.

When the news reached the imperial capital that year, everyone in the capital was shocked.

That’s Fourth Master Lu!

Even those vicious people on the street would give a thumbs up and praise Fourth Master Lu as a true gentleman.

He never made enemies with anyone, so why did he die for no reason?

After that, the rumors could no longer be stopped.

A century-old family like the Lu family is no different from those ancient clans.

The clan has a patriarch, and the Lu family has a patriarch.

The position of the head of the family is not determined by whoever is the oldest. It all depends on real ability.

Among Mr. Lu’s generation, he was the oldest and most capable among the brothers.

When the Lu family came into his hands, he took steady steps and made steady progress, standing out among the wealthy families in the imperial capital.

By the time of Fourth Master Lu's generation, almost everyone thought that he would be the head of the family.

Mr. Lu originally planned to announce in front of everyone in the Lu family and the wealthy people in the imperial capital that his youngest son would take over the responsibility of being the head of the family when he reached his 70th birthday.

Unexpectedly, three months before his birthday, something happened to Fourth Master Lu.

The biggest suspicion naturally fell on Mr. Lu Si's three brothers.

A year later, the Lu family experienced a complete change.

Uncle Lu passed away due to illness.

The second master of the Lu family has been hiding from the world. In order to clear himself of suspicion, he resigned from Yujing and only took the dividends he was entitled to every year. He acted as if he was not afraid of being investigated and found that he had done nothing.

In the eyes of outsiders, all three of them are suspects.

But after investigating over the past few years, I cannot say that I have found nothing, but it’s almost the same.

The appearance of the three-clawed crocodile can finally tear open a corner of the mysterious past.

"From the moment you fell into my hands, you had only one ending. So the way to survive, huh..."

Don't even think about it.

Lu Changchuan didn't say anything else, but the three-clawed crocodile understood.

There is absolutely no possibility of survival. After all, that is Fourth Master Lu.

If there is only one person in the Lu family who cares about Fourth Master Lu, then Ninth Master Lu must be ranked ahead of Old Master Lu.

The two men are only a few years apart in age and grew up together. Although they are nominally uncle and nephew, they are actually as close as real brothers.

Otherwise, Lu Changchuan would not have appeared in Lucheng as soon as he learned that someone wanted to harm Master Lu Si.

When the three-clawed crocodile thought about how the man in front of him almost died at his hands, he realized how ridiculous it was for him to survive with him.

If you can't find a way to live, then you can only find a way to die.

If you explain clearly, maybe you can die more comfortably.

Otherwise, the torture of the past few days might just be an appetizer.

Every time he took a breath, his internal organs felt torn and painful. The three-clawed crocodile opened his eyes, which were swollen and squeezed into a ball, and said weakly: "Fourth Master, Fourth Master, has a son. Back then, we..."

"What did you say?"

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he would not be surprised no matter what the three-clawed crocodile said.

Even the person who tried to kill Fourth Uncle back then might be the person closest to him in the world.

But when the three-clawed crocodile spoke, Lu Changchuan still raised his head in shock, "Son?"
