Shen Manjun finally restrained the anger in his body, looked at Li Mubai with cold eyes, pursed his lips and said: "Second brother, although I occasionally feel a little tired, I don't feel that I can't persevere. On the contrary, second brother, you just established a plan for the Zhao family." Great work, you should take a good rest now. After all, our Zhao family will still have a lot to rely on you in the future. Don’t exhaust yourself."
"Second brother, it's just hard work. It doesn't matter." Li Mubai said lightly. "Furthermore, according to my inquiries, although Chen Chong is dead, his people are very unconvinced and are planning revenge. Therefore, I must protect the Zhao family to avoid being taken advantage of by those extremists."
Every reason Li Mubai came up with was irresistible. Not to mention Shen Manjun, even a cunning old man like Xiao Zheng secretly lamented that this old fox was really difficult to deal with. He clearly wants to force the palace and tightly holds the power of the Zhao family in his hands, but the words he speaks seem to be for the sake of the Zhao family and Shen Manjun. Anyone with a slightly lower EQ and IQ might have been fooled and confused on the spot.
"Master Li. If you just want to protect the safety of the Zhao family, why do you bring so many people in the middle of the night?" Xiao Zheng asked aggressively. "I heard that he brought no less than a hundred people with him."
Xiao Zheng's question was very pointed, but Li Mubai predicted all possibilities before coming. Therefore, he could answer Xiao Zheng's questions fluently.
"When Chen Chong was alive, he frequently walked around the Zhao family. No one can guarantee whether there is anyone of him among the security personnel. If there is, both parties should cooperate internally and externally, and we will be in an extremely dangerous situation. Even the safety of our adoptive father will be at stake. No one can guarantee it." Li Mubai said seriously.
"So you need your people to take over the security issue with full authority." Xiao Zheng asked.
"Only in this way can we ensure the purity of the security system and make it more efficient." Li Mubai said seriously.
"You are right." Xiao Zheng smiled. "According to common sense, any position or department with only one force will always become more capable of execution. But I have a worry, if this force is not used by the Zhao family, but only For your use. Once their purpose is not pure, or they have other ideas. If Shen Manjun agrees to your request, it will be like inviting a wolf into the house. "
These words have already made the relationship between the two parties clear.
Li Mubai's disguise was instantly torn apart.
Snapped.
Li Mubai slapped his hand on the coffee table, leaned forward slightly, and looked down at Xiao Zhengdao: "You are doubting my loyalty to my adoptive father."
"I'm just discussing the matter. I haven't considered any possibility." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and asked. "Master Li, if you were from our perspective, do you think we should be worried about this?"
"You guys." Li Mubai frowned slightly and said unhappily. "Xiao Zheng, when can you consider yourself a member of the Zhao family?"
Xiao Zheng felt that it was too vulgar and despicable that Li Mubai did not forget to correct his language problem when the negotiation was so intense. He smiled faintly and said mysteriously: "The relationship between Shen Manjun and I is not something you can know."
After saying that, he expertly grasped Shen Manjun's plump and attractive waist with a victorious smile on his face.
Li Mubai frowned and said, "Even so, it's not your turn to speak here."
"And me."
Although it was the first time she was held in Xiao Zheng's arms, this feeling made her very greedy. But at this moment, as the daughter of Mr. Zhao, she must show something, and she must stand firm against all the wolves, tigers and leopards.
"Can I speak?" Shen Manjun asked word for word.
"Of course. All the decisions I make are based on the principle of your happiness." Li Mubai said magnanimously.
"In that case, I want to tell you a few things." Shen Manjun paused, then stared directly at Li Mubai and said. "First. I have given full authority over the security of the Zhao family to Zhao Qingyun. Second, my father once told everyone that except Zhao Qingyun, no one can stay overnight in the Zhao family, not even for a day. Third, second brother , you are getting older and your energy is not as good as before. It is time for fourth brother to step forward. Whether it is for you and me or the Zhao family, this is the best choice. "
Shen Manjun looked at Li Mubai's increasingly distorted face and said word by word: "Fourth, second brother, your surname is not Zhao."
Second brother.
Your surname is not Zhao.
But this is the Zhao family.
What we are discussing is also a matter of the Zhao family.
You have a foreign surname, what qualifications do you have, what reason do you have to talk so loudly here.
This is a family matter of our Zhao family, what does it have to do with you. .
These words are destined to hurt, but they are also the most deadly.
It can be seen that Li Mubai does not care about the first three points, even if Shen Manjun mentioned that he is old and should retire. Even though he is only forty years old, he is still in his prime. He also doesn't have much mood swings.
But the fourth point, which was the last point, completely angered Li Mubai and stepped on his tail.
Yes.
That's right.
Just because his surname is not Zhao. So no matter how much he contributes to the Zhao family, he is just a dog of the Zhao family, a watchdog that goes away when called and comes when called.
Why. .
Why can't I ever become the master of the family? Why can't I get the rewards I deserve even though I have done more than anyone else
Li Mubai fell silent.
After a long silence, he stood up slowly, pointed to his confidants behind him, and pointed to the dark crowd standing under the night, which could not be clearly seen in the living room: "I have people, money, status, everyone. support me."
"Where is he?" Li Mubai asked. "What does Zhao Qingyun have? He makes the decision. Little sister, you are not afraid that the Zhao family will be destroyed in his hands."
Shen Manjun saw that Li Mubai could no longer bear it anymore and had clearly endured it to the edge of collapse. She couldn't help but sneered, stood up, turned her head slightly, and said to the side hall with the door closed: "Uncles, Li Mubai said there is no one." Support Zhao Qingyun."
Click.
As soon as Shen Manjun finished speaking, the door opened in response. Immediately afterwards, elderly people who were similar in age to Mr. Zhao but were highly respected in the Zhao family group filed out.
Most of this group of people have now retreated to the second line and entered the stage of taking care of themselves. But Li Mubai knew clearly that these people were the earliest old people who followed Fourth Master Zhao to conquer the country. Not only do they have an extraordinary status among the Zhao family members, but even Fourth Master Zhao respects them quite a bit.
For a long time, Li Mubai also tried every means to win over them, hoping to gain their support. In fact, at least six of the nearly ten elders of the Zhao family who had weak legs and feet had taken their own money and expressed their support openly and secretly.
But at this moment, they followed Shen Manjun's order and walked out of the side hall, standing on their opposite sides.
"We support Zhao Qingyun."
More than ten elders of the Zhao family said in unison: "Li Mubai. You'd better take your people back. Keep a line in everything, and there will still be room for meeting each other in the future."
"Leave a thin line..."
Bang.
Li Mubai kicked the coffee table, and the glass-topped coffee table was immediately shattered. Li Mubai glanced at the elders standing opposite him with a cold expression, and shouted in a cold voice: "A group of old people who need help when walking, just rely on You also want to turn the situation around. Damn you."
Click, click, click.
He gave the order, and the twenty or so confidants behind him immediately pulled out their pistols and aimed like vicious cobras at the group of elders opposite and Shen Manjun sitting on the sofa.
"If we don't reach an agreement today, no one will be able to walk out of the door."
