The living room was very quiet. Not only Zhang Rui and Murray were looking at Su Lie eagerly, but even Xiaoqing and Xiaoxiang, the siblings, knew that Su Lie's next answer would affect the caravan, their father, and the future of their family. They couldn't help but stop what they were doing and look at Tianyang's father.
Su Lie smiled slightly: "Boss Zhang, you are very honest and sincere."
“That satisfies me.”
"I believe you already know that this morning an old man named Lin Dong from your Chamber of Commerce came to see us. Although he didn't say anything, I still know what he was planning."
"If you still have the same idea as yesterday, and if you are not waiting in front of the door early in the morning, then maybe we will go to Donglai Restaurant tonight."
"Anyway, if we're willing, there are caravans that want to cooperate with us and take us to Fort Ares."
Zhang Rui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to slap himself twice. Yesterday, he deliberately revealed the news of the War God Festival, but did not mention the matter of asking the Su family father and son for help.
In fact, he hoped to arouse the interest of Tianyang and his son. If they took the initiative to ask to go together, he could take advantage of the situation and ask for help. In this way, he would be able to get the help of this family at a relatively small cost.
But he didn't expect that Su Lie had already seen through his thoughts and even set conditions.
Thinking of how he actually had some plans for these two, Zhang Rui was shocked, but at the same time, he was also glad that he had shown some sincerity today. Otherwise, Su Lie would not have said these words to him.
"So what Mr. Su means is..." Zhang Rui looked at Su Lie expectantly.
Su Lie laughed and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. We won't go to Donglai Restaurant tonight. However, we don't want to cooperate with a caravan that is too weak."
"How about this, my father and I plan to go to the inverse world of Gaoshanbao. If you can arrange it, we will agree to it after it is done. What do you think?"
Tianyang agreed with his father's arrangement. Although he got along well with Zhang Rui and others, it would be pleasant to travel with them. But if they were not strong enough, it would not be worth it for him and his son to help them.
Arranging to enter the Gaoshanbao Reverse Realm is a test of Zhang Rui's overall strength. At the same time, they can also take this opportunity to hunt in the Reverse Realm and obtain the blood of the Shadow Hunter to prepare for Tianyang's promotion.
"no problem."
Zhang Rui also knew this, so he stood up and said, "Mr. Su is right. Only when the two strong join forces can we win together. If Zhang can't even do such a small thing, he doesn't deserve Mr. Su's attention."
Su Lie nodded and said, "Okay, three days is the limit. I will wait for your good news."
... ... .
Donglai Restaurant.
This is a restaurant under Lin Dong's name and is his personal property.
In addition to catering, the restaurant also has a casino on the second floor. This is the most profitable industry and one of the important sources of income for Lin Dong.
After returning from the Baishi Hotel, Lin Dong returned to the top floor of the restaurant and rested in his room. Just after breakfast, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and then the dark-skinned Xu Ao walked in with an ugly look on his face.
Lin Dong was calm and collected. He picked up the tea brought by the servant and blew it twice before asking, "What's wrong?"
"Luo Shuang
Dead." Xu Ao immediately revealed a shocking news.
"What!"
Lin Dong was defeated on the spot and put down the teacup. Luo Shuang was Xu Ao's subordinate, cruel and ruthless, with a twisted mentality, and specialized in helping Lin Dong do dirty work that was not presentable.
Once Luo Shuang died, many things would be hindered. For example, the recent matter of dealing with the "Qingteng Caravan" would probably be postponed or even cancelled.
Lin Dong's eyes flashed with anger, but he was able to remain calm: "Who killed him and where did he die? I want to see who is so bold as to dare to kill my people!"
Xu Ao looked a little strange, and said, "Mr. Lin, according to the description of Luo Shuang's men, the one who killed Luo Shuang seems to be the son of the Su family whom we visited this morning."
Lin Dong was stunned again: "The son of Su, the little white-haired boy? But how is he related to Luo Shuang?"
Xu Ao did not dare to hide it. He told the people from Qingteng Chamber of Commerce how they discovered Luo Shuang's conspiracy, and then with the help of the owner of Volcano Bar, he escaped to the street. However, he unexpectedly met Tian Yang, and Tian Yang seemed to know the bar owner, which led to a conflict between him and Luo Shuang. Xu Ao told the details of the incident.
Lin Dong had not expected that there would be such a big detour in the process. He was surprised and said, "How could a bar owner know such a master?"
Xu Ao nodded: "Yes, and that guy also made a lot of nonsense. He said that if the bar owner was harmed, he would destroy our caravan and kill everyone in our team."
"asshole!"
Lin Dong shouted, his expression slightly ferocious: "Who does he think he is? He is just an Ascender, a Level 5 or 6 Ascender. Just a few of them want to crush my caravan? This is outrageous!"
Xu Ao asked in a low voice: "Boss, how about I take someone to the White Stone Hotel?"
"No!"
Lin Dong said decisively: "Although this kid is arrogant and makes people hate him. But for Luo Shuang, there is no need to make an enemy with such a person. So, you go to the Qingteng Caravan first, bring some gifts, and put the whole thing on Luo Shuang, so that they won't report it to the president and ruin our trip to the War God Castle."
"Hmph, let Luo Shuang make use of her remaining energy. I will also express my opinion immediately and try to distance myself from Luo Shuang before this matter becomes a big deal."
Lin Dong put his hands behind his back and walked around the room: "As for the Su family father and son, it depends on whether they come to the banquet tonight. If they come, then this matter will be written off and never mentioned again."
"If they don't come, we will make careful arrangements and mobilize all our experts to prevent them from leaving Gaoshan Fort. This will let others know that I, Lin, am not someone to be trifled with!"
Xu Ao nodded: "I understand, Mr. Lin, I will do it right away."
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Tianyang spoke to Su Lie, then opened the door to the gap and took the medium materials to the Hunger Ball so that 'gold' could be used to make a complete medium.
After Tianyang left, Su Lie hummed a tune, changed his clothes, and went out.
He walked and asked around, and found out that he had come across the Donglai Restaurant. Su Lie looked up and saw that the restaurant was six stories high, with bright lights and people coming and going, making it very lively.
Su Lie looked at him with a smile, stretched out his hand and wiped his face. A black light flashed, and a smooth mask without any pattern appeared on his face.
Tonight, the Donglai Caravan held a banquet at the restaurant, entertaining many local dignitaries from Gaoshanbao, as well as other merchants who have cooperated with Lindong. A total of more than a hundred people,
The hall seems lively.
Lin Dong was very popular at the banquet, and his old face was glowing red from inside to outside. He had already received support from several dignitaries, and it seemed that he saw the throne of the chairman of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, which was already waving to him.
After a series of toasts, he got a little drunk and was helped by his servants back to his room on the top floor.
After helping Lin Dong fall asleep, the servant left and closed the door for this celebrity from the Chamber of Commerce.
Lin Dong was lying on the bed, about to fall asleep. Suddenly, a faint light came on in the room. Lin Dong couldn't help but squint his eyes, turned over, and looked towards the light.
Suddenly I saw a figure sitting there, playing with his favorite pipe.
It was obvious that this person had been in the house for a long time, but when he entered the house just now, not only did he not notice it, but his two servants also had no idea that there was someone in the house.
Lin Dong was about to shout when he suddenly felt a huge pressure covering his whole body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He covered his chest and couldn't even scream, let alone sit up in bed.
Then he heard the man say quietly: "My child is kindhearted after all. How could he have known that a person who could raise a wolf would back down and give up just because of a few threatening words."
"But, at his age now, it's not good for him to be too cold-blooded and ruthless."
"Well, let me guess. People like you probably do nothing on the surface, but secretly plan some dirty things. In the final analysis, my father and I are too secretive. The edge we show is not enough to scare off those guys with bad intentions."
Lin Dong was sweating profusely and sober. He now knew who that person was.
It was the man named Su whom he had visited in the morning but had never met!
Lin Dong tried his best and said in a trembling voice: "Sir... you misunderstood. I, Lin Dong, am definitely not that kind of person. I had no idea about Luo Shuang's matter, and I never thought of taking revenge on you."
"I was just blinded by this person, so I let him do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, I would have cleaned up the mess long ago. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Su for helping me get rid of this person..."
"Ha ha ha ha... "
Putting down his pipe, Su Lie began to laugh. Strangely enough, he did not try to hide his laughter, but no one paid attention.
He walked over and said, "Mr. Lin, do you think I'm a child too? How could a shrewd businessman like you not know what your men are doing outside?"
"Okay, don't say anything. I'm sending you off now. If you die, the Donglai Caravan will be in chaos. There won't be much to do next."
Lin Dong's face turned green instantly, and he said hurriedly: "Mr. Su, if you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely."
Su Lie had already come in front of him, still wearing the mask on his face, so his appearance could not be seen underneath the mask. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lin Dong's chest.
With gentle movements, she stroked Lin Dong's wide-open eyes, supported his gradually softening neck, and put him on the bed.
Su Lie even helped him turn over and covered him with a quilt before opening the door and leaving.
As for Lin Dong, he closed his eyes, but blood slowly seeped out of his mouth.
When Tianyang came back from Qingtian Castle and opened the door and walked out of the living room, he saw his father leaning against the window, looking at the night sky, with a faint smile on his face, and he didn't know what it meant.
