Chapter 1067: A Betrayal Closer Than Blood

The afternoon sun cast a pale glow over the snow-covered grounds of Ji Mansion.

Beyond the towering iron gates, the estate stood in its usual grandeur, surrounded by rows of trees still dusted with snow.

Several soldiers patrolled the perimeter, their dark uniforms contrasting against the white landscape.

The soldier stationed at the main entrance straightened when he spotted a familiar black Maserati approaching.

Recognizing the vehicle, he immediately signaled for the gates to open.

As Lu Tian drove past, the two men exchanged a silent nod.

The soldier returned to his post while the Maserati continued along the winding driveway.

Lu Tian’s expression remained unreadable.

One hand rested on the steering wheel while the other lay near the folder on the passenger seat.

He had spent the entire drive considering how to approach the conversation awaiting him.

Grandfather Ji was not a man easily shaken.

Having served as Imperial’s General for decades, the old man had witnessed more bloodshed, betrayal, and loss than most people could imagine.

Yet the information Lu Tian carried concerned the people Grandfather Ji treasured most.

And that made it different.

The Maserati eventually stopped in front of the mansion.

Lu Tian cut the engine, reached for the folder, and stepped out.

A cold breeze swept across the driveway, stirring the edges of his dark coat.

He closed the car door and made his way toward the entrance.

Housekeeper Hu was already waiting beneath the covered entryway.

Upon seeing Lu Tian approach, the older man greeted him with a respectful bow.

”Mr. Lu, it’s good to see you.”

Lu Tian nodded.

”Housekeeper Hu.”

”Master Ji is in his study waiting for you.”

”Thank you.”

Housekeeper Hu stepped aside and opened the door.

Lu Tian entered the mansion, where the familiar warmth of the interior greeted him.

The faint scent of tea lingered in the air, accompanied by the distant sounds of soldiers moving through the estate.

Without wasting time, he climbed the staircase and headed toward Grandfather Ji’s study.

The door was open when he arrived.

Inside, Grandfather Ji sat behind his large wooden desk, while Ji Jingxu occupied one of the chairs nearby.

At the old man’s feet lay Inu.

The white Samoyed had been resting comfortably, his fluffy head nestled against his front paws.

However, the moment Lu Tian approached the doorway, Inu’s ears perked up.

His nose twitched.

Then his head shot up.

Recognizing the familiar scent, the Samoyed sprang to his feet.

His tail began wagging enthusiastically.

For a brief moment, his entire body seemed to tremble with excitement.

But when his dark eyes landed on the tall figure standing in the doorway, the excitement abruptly faded.

Inu looked past Lu Tian.

Then toward the hallway.

Then back at Lu Tian.

His tail slowed.

A small whimper escaped him.

Lu Tian stopped just inside the study.

The two stared at each other.

Inu’s ears drooped.

He turned his head away.

Lu Tian narrowed his eyes.

”What’s that supposed to mean?”

Ji Jingxu looked up from his seat then he noticed Inu’s reaction.

A grin immediately spread across his face.

”Looks like someone was expecting a different visitor.”

Lu Tian scoffed. He knew perfectly well who the dog had been expecting.

”Your favorite human isn’t here.”

Inu gave another disappointed whimper.

Lu Tian raised an eyebrow.

”If you want to see her, you’ll have to come home with me.”

The Samoyed’s ears twitched.

For a moment, he appeared to consider the offer.

Then, without warning, he turned and trotted toward Grandfather Ji.

He circled in front of the old man’s chair once before settling at his feet.

With a satisfied huff, Inu lowered his head onto his paws.

His decision was final.

Lu Tian stared at him.

”...”

Ji Jingxu burst into laughter.

Even Grandfather Ji couldn’t suppress his amusement.

The old man reached down and patted Inu’s fluffy head.

”Looks like he’s decided to stay with me a little longer.”

Lu Tian shook his head.

”Ungrateful beast.”

Inu merely closed his eyes.

Ji Jingxu laughed harder.

”Brother-in-law, I think he heard you.”

”Good.”

Lu Tian stepped farther into the room.

”He can stay here until he remembers who buys his food.”

Grandfather Ji chuckled.

”Don’t threaten the little fellow. He’s been keeping this old man company.”

Lu Tian’s gaze shifted toward him.

The old man looked comfortable in his chair, dressed in a dark cardigan over a neatly pressed shirt.

Although his expression was cheerful, Lu Tian noticed the faint weariness around his eyes.
