Truthfully speaking, Lu Jinnian had tried his best to save this relationship because of his love toward Qian Luo. However, he couldn't bury the hatred toward her father. The shadow that had been haunting him for 20 years long couldn't be gotten rid no matter how he tried. He often dreamt of the scene that night 20 years ago when he was being hid while his whole family was massacred.
He could never forget how they slaughtered his parents without mercy and his fifteen-year-old sister was molested right in front of him. He was only eight that year.
His father, Lu Bo Nian, was the chief of police who instructed to wipe out the Tiger Alliance which was a radical group that threatened the peace of the country as they were planning to stage a coup. Fortunately, both the police and military were quick enough to cease their evil plan. Though the Tiger Alliance suffered a big loss, their master who had been hiding himself could easily escape.
Enraged by the eradication of his people, Qian Ming ordered to kill Lu Bo Nian and his family, as well as the major general who worked together with him at that time.
The remaining members of Tiger Alliance didn't work hastily. They waited for two years to execute their plan. It was when they found out that Lu Bo Nian would go recreating with his family during his rare days off.
Since that it was a family time, Lu Bo Nian didn't bring a lot of bodyguards,except his two shadow bodyguards, Lu Yi and Lu Er. His decision brought calamity to his family.
It was in the early evening when Lu Bo Nian realized that they were surrounded. However, he still acted as usual. He knew that it was impossible for them to leave the place unscatthed. He tried to contact the base, but as he predicted ,the line had been sabotaged.
He then ordered Lu Yi and Lu Er to escape with his wife, Zhuo Jing and his two children. However, they were too late. The Tiger Alliance had barged into their house and stabbed his wife who was still cooking dinner severely. When he ran down, Zhuo Jing was dying. He only caught a glance of her before he was shot several times, but they deliberately didn't kill him at once. They wanted to let him suffer the helplessness of witnessing his beloved ones dying.
Lu Jinger who was sitting in the living room trembled a lot as she firsthandly witnessed the whole scene. She ran toward her parents but to her avail she was caught and molested by those evil men. Zhuo Jing and Lu Bo Nian were struggling to save her but they failed.
Zhuo Jing and Lu Bo Nian died with their eyes opened because they felt sinful for not saving their daughter. Lu Jinger died after being r**** countless times by those men.
As for Lu Jinnian, he was running out from his bedroom on the second floor when he heard the commotion but he was stopped by Lu Yi. He was brought to the attic. He was still eight years old and he was not a match with the bulky Lu Yi.
As he was dragged to the attic, he witnessed how his father was shot countless times and his sister was r****.
His life was saved by the sacrificial of Lu Er. When he was dragged to the attic by Lu Yi, Lu Er deliberately jumped out of the house to escape in order to distract the Tiger Alliance. As a result, some of the members of Tiger Alliance pursued Lu Er as they thought he was the young master Lu.
By that, Lu Yi could bring him out of the house by a secret passage and ran to the opposite of Lu Er. He then brought Lu Jinnian to cross over the lake by swimming, leaving his family.
He was then brought to the Mo family who was family friend of Lu Family. Though Mo family was doing business underworld and Lu family was a righteous family, they still had good relationship.
At the same time, the Mo family faced the inner battle and Mo Yan, along with his family, had to move to Europe and settled there. Thus, Lu Jinnian tagged along, the same with Lu Yi.
As for Lu Er, they later found out that he was shot to death.
