Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Identity of the Man in the Black Robe

“What kind of psycho is this? Did someone kick his brain in?”

Qiao Yi burst into a rage, even wanting to rush into the projector and drag that robed figure out to tell him the Qing Dynasty is over!

“And what’s this about accepting punishment? I’d like to see between us, who is going to punish whom!”

The warehouse was plunged back into darkness, and the team that went to find the projector also returned with it.

On the way back to the hotel, the more Qiao Yi thought about it, the angrier she got–not just because of the ridiculous robed figure’s threat, but also because she realized she actually had no way to deal with him!

Anyone who went to a meeting full of caution, only to watch a lunatic’s speech, would feel this sense of being played. Qiao Yi was so angry she found everything displeasing!

“I must find him! I have to!”

Lu Yanchuan watched Qiao Yi pacing around in the room and, after much forbearance, finally pulled her down to sit on the sofa.

“I’ve already sent people to investigate. Don’t worry.”

Qiao Yi spent a restless night and wanted to return to her country early the next morning, but before she even got to the airport, she received shocking news.

“What? They found the person who attacked Yuanyuan? Dead?”

The word ‘dead’ caught the attention of a group of people at the airport. Qiao Yi frowned, took Lu Yanchuan to the VIP room before continuing.

“How did he die? When and where was the body found?”

“Early this morning, at the entrance of Emperor Garden Villa, discovered by a cleaning lady. The body was placed inside a gift box with a note attached with a heart drawn on it.”

Han Wenle sent all the photos and videos to Qiao Yi. She carefully examined what Han Wenle had sent but couldn’t find a single useful clue.

The figure delivering the box wore similar robes, completely void of any distinctive physical features. The car driven by several people was the most common unlicensed Volkswagen, vanishing after turning into an alley.

“What is he trying to say? Delivering this person to me, is he showing off or trying to convey something?”

After a night’s time, Qiao Yi could keep her calm facing these events, unlike yesterday when she’d become agitated upon hearing news.

“Maybe it’s just him putting pressure on you, trying to make you crumble mentally?”

Even Lu Yanchuan couldn’t understand the purpose behind this person’s actions. But no matter what, the existence of the other party had already seriously affected Qiao Yi, so he wouldn’t just let it go.

Pulling out his phone, he sent a message to Yan Xiyu. After such a long incident, Yan Xiyu still hadn’t reported back; was he paying Yan Xiyu too much?

“Let’s go back to our country first. Since the action took place domestically, there must be some trace to follow.”

The plane landed at Jing City Airport. As soon as Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan walked out, they received a message from Old Mr. Lu, asking them to return to the old house immediately.

“Tell me, what in the world happened in the past few days?”

Old Mr. Lu asked directly as soon as they met. Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan exchanged glances and were about to gloss over with some excuse when they saw Old Mr. Lu pick up an envelope from the table and throw it in front of them.

“This is what I received the morning before last. I haven’t received such letters for over thirty years.”

Puzzled, Qiao Yi picked up the envelope, took out the letter inside, and her expression changed after just a few glances.

“Dad…”

“Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Qiao Yi clutched the letter in her hand, opened her mouth, but couldn’t speak.

It wasn’t that she dared not be honest with Old Mr. Lu, she was just too moved to speak.

The letter delivered to Old Mr. Lu contained one clear message: Lu Yanchuan and Qiao Yi must divorce, or the Lu Family would suffer joint retaliation from the business community.

Under normal circumstances, receiving such a letter would be considered a prank.

But Old Mr. Lu only realized it was not so simple after hearing from an old friend that recently someone was uniting several old noble families against the Lu Family.

If it had been someone else, the first thought would definitely be that Qiao Yi had brought trouble upon the Lu Family.

After all, even if the Lu Family was strong, even if they joined forces with the Qiao Family, they couldn’t stand up to the collective targeting of many noble families.

But Old Mr. Lu giving this letter to Qiao Yi clearly indicated his stance.

“Dad, I…”

“Don’t worry, now that you’re married into the Lu Family, you’re one of us. If anyone wants to bully a Lu, they’ll have to ask if I agree!”

Tears welled up in Qiao Yi’s eyes, she took a while to compose herself before sadly telling Old Mr. Lu about the robed figure incident.

“There’s actually such a thing?”

Old Mr. Lu’s gaze fell on Lu Yanchuan. After staring at him fiercely, he turned kindly and pulled Qiao Yi to sit beside him.

“Don’t be scared! Let Yanchuan handle this. How can he, a grown man, allow his woman to be threatened? Just wait–I’ll definitely teach him a lesson and take it out for you!”

Qiao Yi laughed at what Old Mr. Lu said, wiping away her tears and holding onto him.

“Dad, Yanchuan didn’t know about it beforehand, and the other party’s methods were ruthless and efficient. We couldn’t catch any clues at all…”

“If there are no clues, then create them!”

Old Mr. Lu interrupted Qiao Yi, gazing sternly at Lu Yanchuan.

“I give you one week to resolve this matter! Otherwise, you needn’t come back to this house!”

Qiao Yi watched dumbfounded as Old Mr. Lu sent Lu Yanchuan out of the house, even moving her things from Emperor Garden to stay at the old house until he found and dealt with the person.

The old master truly was the old master, Qiao Yi felt an immense sense of safety, followed him back into the room, completely ignoring Lu Yanchuan’s look of silent reproach.

According to the old master, such dirty work should be left to men, and girls needed protection.

Although she didn’t completely agree with the old master’s view, Qiao Yi couldn’t deny she really enjoyed this feeling of being protected.

After being lectured by the old master, Qiao Yi returned to her room, flopped down onto the bed, and stared at the ceiling pondering the possible identity of the robed figure.

Firstly, this person bore a serious grudge against her, a matter of life and death.

Secondly, the person behind him must have a significant amount of power to support his so-called revenge on her.

And most importantly, the person even threatened Old Mr. Lu, demanding that she and Lu Yanchuan get divorced!

Without this condition, Qiao Yi might still be in the dark, but this one factor made the range of potential suspects much smaller.
