CHAPTER 779 I WILL TAKE OVER

"Clear all the dead bodies and make sure nobody leaks what happened. Anyone who goes against my orders shall die!"

"Yes, Young Master Long."

Long Fei walked over to Long Ling'er and squatted down in front of her. He reached a hand out to gently pat her back. "Ling'er, everything's fine now, don't be scared."

Long Ling'er continued to cry and didn't even look up.

"Come along now, I'll take you home.”

Long Fei stretched a hand out and helped Long Ling'er to her feet. He looked at her red eyes and dejected expression. She didn't look like she was crying from being scared by an assassination attempt. It was some other reason.

He didn't ask. He knew that if she didn't want to talk about it, there was no point in asking her.

He drove Long Ling'er home and she didn't say a single word on the way back. She just looked out of the window and cried silently, making Long Fei feel bad for her as well.

Long Fei sent Long Ling'er back to her own room. He instructed the servants to take good care of her and went to the main hall.

Long Xiang had been waiting there for a long time.

"How's Ling'er?" Long Xiang looked up at Long Fei. "Is she injured?"

"No, she's not injured," Long Fei shook his head. "But maybe she's hurt.”

Long Xiang frowned and didn't understand what Long Fei was talking about.

"But that doesn't matter. I'll ask Ling'er when she's willing to talk."

Long Fei didn't want to spend too much time on this matter. He was the only one who dared to speak like this to Long Xiang in the Long family. Even his uncles had to be polite to Long Xiang.

"Who did this?"

"The Chang family." Long Fei's eyes grew cold. "One of the corpses at the scene was Wei Ming, personal bodyguard to the head of the Chang family, Chang Zaiyuan. My men have confirmed that the rest are all from the Chang family."

"The Chang family is really bold!" Long Xiang fumed. "They dared to even try killing my daughter!"

The Chang family was a first tier powerful family and normally kept a low profile. They never had any feud or disagreement with the four supremely powerful families. Content © 2024.

They also didn't have any direct conflicts of interests with the Long family. So why did they suddenly try to assassinate Long Ling'er?

They had sent so many people after her as well. That meant that they were bent on killing her.

Long Xiang started to get angry and felt the urge to retaliate and wipe out the

Chang family immediately.

But he knew that this first tier family was not so simple. They were much tougher than they looked on the surface, and weren't easy to deal with.

"I feel that it's more important to find out why the Chang family tried to kill Ling'er," said Long Fei. "Dad, is the Chang family trying to become one of the supremely powerful families?"

"I don't know, I don't have any information on this. But even if they do, they wouldn't say anything and only work in secret."

Who didn't want to become a supremely powerful family?

That would make them a family that stood at the top and controlled a massive amount of resources, status, power and wealth.

But there were only so few vacancies. If anyone wanted to become part of the four supremely powerful families, they had to kill one of the existing ones off first.

"And even if they wanted to replace the Long family, did they think that killing Ling'er would make that happen?" Long Xiang's expression was still murderous. "The future head of the family is you. Killing Ling'er will not mean anything to them."

This matter was becoming weirder and weirder.

The Long family and the Chang family never had any feud both in the past and now. So why did the Chang family want to kill Long Ling'er? And Chang Zaiyuan had actually sent his personal bodyguard to get this done.

How confident must he have been? Either he would manage to kill Long Ling'er, or he would be exposed as the mastermind behind the killing.

"Let's not think about this first. I think matters have become more complicated than we imagined," Long Fei shook his head. "I fear that someone else is involved in this."

Just the scene of the assassination attempt alone was suspicious. How did Wei Ming and the other men die so cruelly? That wasn't something an ordinary highly skilled fighter was able to do.

Even Long Fei himself wasn't confident of being able to do that. How many people in the north would be able to do that?

Also, Long Ling'er had been crying miserably from the time he found her all the way till they reached home. She was crying because she was sad and not because she was scared. She must have seen someone who meant something to her.

But who could have made her so sad?

"How's Ling'er?'' asked Long Xiang out of concern.

"She's not in a very good condition and she keeps crying,” Long Fei sighed. "Dad, I think she's no longer able to continue taking charge of Linglong Group in this state, so let her rest at home."

"I'll take over Linglong Group.”
