Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 214 How to Prove Your Dad is Your Dad
Yesterday at the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Zheng kept staring at Lu Tianji's face, always feeling that he seemed to be waiting for something.
He once thought that the man who had carefully erased himself completely throughout the entire plot would have a very awesome way to save Lu Tianji and Lu Wantang, and even the thousands of people in the Lu family.
If you're even more powerful, you might even be able to take away their valuables and cats and dogs.
However, none of Tang Zheng's expectations came true.
Until last night, there was no movement from the City Lord's Mansion.
That means Lu Tianji was abandoned!
Tang Zheng was still thinking this morning that if the person behind Li Zhi was willing to save Lu Tianji, he might still be caught, but if he gave up Lu Tianji, he could completely disappear from the whole thing.
Unexpectedly, his bad guess turned out to be the reality.
The people behind Li Zhi did not make any move.
So, Lu Tianji used his own way to escape!
Leng Zhan and Tang Zheng walked all the way to the academy. Many students surrounded them and asked Leng Zhan what happened outside.
In this situation, they had no way to continue talking and could only wait until Leng Zhan had dealt with other things before coming to find Tang Zheng.
However, the Cold War lasted a bit too long.
It was not until the afternoon that he had time to come over to Tang Zheng.
Jiang Wuyan and Tang Xiaotang were already waiting in Tang Zheng's room. After the cold war, he did not avoid them and repeated what he had said to Tang Zheng to Jiang Wuyan and Tang Xiaotang.
"What did you say? Changing your confession?" Tang Xiaotang was furious when she heard that.
They rob graves, sell drugs, and collude with demons; any one of these is punishable by death!
When Lu Tianji readily acknowledged the first two items, Tang Xiaotang felt strange.
Now, something has gone wrong.
However, she never expected that the node with the problem would actually change its statement!
"But when he admitted this, there were at least twenty deacons and instructors from the academy, as well as ten senior military officers above the rank of red lieutenant present... Can he change his confession?" Jiang Wuyan asked, his lips slightly opened.
"Yes." Leng Zhan's reaction was much smaller because he saw it with his own eyes. "He changed his confession."
"Did he only retract his confession about colluding with demons, or did he also deny the things he had previously admitted to, such as stealing Leng Xiangyuan's tomb and selling decadent goods?" Jiang Wuyan continued to ask.
"I deny all of them." Leng Zhan said.
In fact, Lu Tianji had never admitted to the crime of colluding with demons.
As for the other two charges, since they directly stated that the Lu Wantang arrested by Tang Zheng and others was fake, there was naturally no need to admit it.
Tang Zheng never thought that Lu Tianji would use such a trick without waiting for rescue!
These are the politicians of Xingyao Continent!
The way of handling things cannot be said to be very clever, but it is very effective.
This was because all the things that Tang Zheng and his gang had been caught doing were done by Lu Wantang, and the only role he played in this matter seemed to be that of Lu Wantang's father.
And what if he is not the father of Lu Wantang? What if the Lu Wantang in Leng Buchen's hands is a fake?
So what does he have to do with this matter?
Since everything was done by an imposter, he can't be convicted just because someone happened to impersonate his son to commit a crime, right?
Sometimes, it's just that simple!
"Isn't it the famous 'temporary worker tactic'?" Tang Zheng wanted to laugh at Lu Tianji.
That’s right, Tang Zheng and his team have too little useful information in their hands, there is only one Lu Wantang!
As long as Lu Tianji could cut off the connection between Lu Wantang in their hands and their Lu family, they would all be able to escape.
As for how to cut off this connection...
It's too easy to create an alien world without DNA technology.
As long as Lu Tianji insists that Lu Wantang in Tang Zheng's hands is a fake and has nothing to do with their Lu family, what can they do to him?
"Have you told that Lu Wantang about this? That is... the Lu Wantang who Lu Tianji said was a fake?" Tang Zheng asked.
“No need to tell.” Leng Zhan shook his head, “Lu Tianji said that in front of Lu Wantang.”
"Then what?"
"Lu Wantang is still in a coma. I don't know if he heard it, but he didn't say anything."
Tang Zheng, Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Wuyan all looked at each other.
Because there is too much information here!
There are two possibilities: Lu Wantang heard it or he didn't hear it, and there are also two possibilities: he didn't say anything.
If he didn't hear anything and didn't say anything, then it's possible that he was really fake, but if he heard it and didn't say anything... then he was probably the real Lu Wantang.
Only the real Lu Wantang would take on the responsibility of dying for the Lu family at a time like this.
"It seems that the demon communication incident has left Lu Tianji with no way out. He has already fought to the death." Tang Zheng looked at Leng Zhan and said, "If he doesn't want to die, he must drag you, Leng Buchen, all the deacons and instructors of Yisu Academy, and even President Liu Ruiqi and Commander Wang into the water."
In previous games, this kind of struggle usually went straight to the plot, with players rarely being given the opportunity to do anything on their own initiative.
However, Tang Zheng is now in the plot and can feel the coming danger more deeply.
If Lu Tianji wins this desperate fight, he will definitely not be able to take the position of Leng Zhan's successor. As for Leng Buchen, Liu Ruiqi and others, almost all of them will be dealt with.
Because Lu Tianji’s identity is too special!
If it is finally confirmed that Leng Zhan joined forces with the military and the academy of Feishi City to frame such a loyal person, it would definitely be a major event that would shock the entire Changyuan Leng family and even the entire border.
"Come to think of it, there won't be any problem with your patriarch, right? Just because Lu Tianji said Lu Wantang was fake, you believed him?" Tang Xiaotang herself was not from the Changyuan Leng family. Her identity badge was registered in the Tianqin family, so naturally there was no need for her to be polite when she spoke.
"Of course there is a problem! The elder of the Leng Jianqi family has always supported another heir - Leng Bingyun." A clear voice sounded outside the door.
Tang Zheng and the others looked up and saw Leng Jing standing at the door.
In the gloomy sky after the rainstorm, the sunlight was faint and made Leng Jing look a little hazy.
However, the dark circles under her eyes were enough to show that she had not slept well in the past two days.
Leng Jing walked in and closed the door behind him, then said, "But even he wouldn't dare to openly attack the direct heir of our Changyuan Leng family."
"Then why did he believe Lu Tianji's nonsense?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"Because the real Lu Wantang showed up." Leng Zhan then said the key point.
"What do you mean..." Tang Xiaotang was shocked, "What do you mean the 'real Lu Wantang' appeared?"
"For some unknown reason, the one who accompanied the elder of the Leng Jianqi family to Feishi City was the 'other' Lu Wantang." Leng Zhan replied.
In fact, both he and Leng Buchen are in a mess now.
Lu Tianji's change of words and the appearance of "another" Lu Wantang both came too suddenly.
No one dared to confirm on the spot whether the person they caught was the real Lu Wantang.
So, this matter is at a stalemate for the time being!
"So where is Lu Tianji now?" Tang Zheng asked.
"The opinion of the family elder is that since we cannot determine Lu Tianji's crime yet, we cannot treat him as a criminal. Therefore, everyone, including Leng Buchen, should leave the City Lord's Mansion, and the detained City Lord's guards should all be sent back." Leng Jing's face turned pale when she mentioned this matter. She seemed to not even have the energy to be angry.
Leng Zhan and Leng Jing are not old enough to get involved in the specific affairs of the aristocratic family yet, but they have been influenced by it since childhood and know that this matter has become a big deal.
Because it involves the Cold War, all parties must get involved.
If we can't cut the Gordian knot and put an end to this matter quickly, then when more people get involved, the truth won't matter anymore...
"Three days!" Leng Jing held up three fingers. "In three days at most, we will make this case an ironclad case! The entire Lu family will be executed!"
Leng Zhan nodded: "Do you have any specific ideas?"
"Uh..." After hearing this, he calmed down, "No."
Leng Zhan seemed to have known that Leng Jing was just talking, so his eyes did not linger on Leng Jing at all, but when he spoke the second half of the sentence, he looked directly at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng held up two fingers: "No matter how urgent it is, we have to do it in two steps."
"You say." During the more than 20 years of the Cold War, I spent all of it pursuing combat and had no experience in this area.
"The first step." Tang Zheng took a deep breath and said without any pause: "Find out whether Lu Tianji is the father of Lu Wantang in our hands, that is, whether Lu Wantang in our hands is the son of Lu Tianji in the City Lord's Mansion!"
They were all silent for a moment.
This sentence was very magical. Tang Zheng said it in one breath at a very fast speed, so that they understood it immediately. However, when they turned back to think about it, they found themselves confused.
No wonder Tang Zheng couldn't speak this sentence slowly, otherwise it would make it more difficult to understand.
"What about the second step?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"The second step, of course, is to make the patriarch believe, and make everyone else believe, that Lu Tianji is the father of Lu Wantang in our hands, and that the Lu Wantang we caught is the real thing, not a fake or counterfeit product." Tang Zhengdao.
"Then let's go back to the first step. How do we figure out whether Lu Tianji is the father of Lu Wantang in our hands, that is, whether Lu Wantang in our hands is the son of Lu Tianji in the City Lord's Mansion?" Tang Zheng was so calm that he repeated the sentence in full without missing a single word.
"Oh... How to prove that his father is his father? This is a human problem that transcends time and space..."
