The emperor has the custom of paying New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. It is the time when the younger generation wishes blessings to the elders. In those days, there was also the custom of worshiping gods, so on this day, the temples near the imperial capital were full of incense.
After coming out of Fu's house, Wen Li kept his head down and thought, if according to Fu Han's statement.
If the person he knew was not Hua Yan, but Wen Xuqian, this clue would not be considered broken.
She has investigated all of Wen Xuqian's friends in the Imperial Capital, and basically they all have very reasonable relationships.
There is no interest entanglement with his father, so there is no such thing as a pursuit.
According to this rule, we can only start the investigation from the Ning family line.
The medal found at the scene was confirmed to be from the Snake Organization, and now the person in charge of that organization has been replaced by the son of the person in charge back then.
If you want to know the detailed situation, you can only ask for people from the Ning family first. Only after the people are obtained can you find valuable clues.
"Still worrying about your parents?" Fu Yuxiu drove the car and used a free hand to separate her hair from the glass, "It's cold up there."
Wen Li suddenly looked at the man driving next to him, wanting to say something but he hesitated.
"I think you have forgotten someone." Fu Yuxiu reminded her.
"who?"
"The Royal Hotel attack case, people who want to take away Li Li." Fu Yuxiu said looking straight ahead.
Such a reminder made me think of it.
The bandit leader at that time was brought back from Fu Yuheng by Fei Ran. The man had a tough mouth and said nothing.
Until now, Wen Li has been busy with a lot of things these days, so he has forgotten that there is such a person.
"He relented?"
"Not yet, but if you put some effort into interrogating me, you may not be able to find out anything."
To be able to specially come to the Imperial Capital from D Continent to carry out such an attack, the force behind it must not be from the Imperial Capital.
Furthermore, the status of the Li family is there. What is it that can make these people take risks
Wen Li and Li Li are twins. It is a fact that many people know that she returned to the Li family with a high profile.
If the other party turned his attention to Li Li because he couldn't move Wen Li, this might be a reason.
"Where are people now?"
"West of the city."
Wen Li thought for a while, "Go and meet him first."
Fu Yuxiu drove the car on the road without stopping, "You have forgotten that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Who do you see walking on the road who is not walking in the streets? Who do you see going to work?"
Furthermore, that man's mouth was really tough, and he hasn't said a word since he was locked up to this day.
It still takes some time to develop your patience.
"Where to go now?"
Fu Yuxiu thought for a while and parked the car on the side of the road. There was nothing interesting nearby.
I recently took her to visit all the famous places in the imperial capital, but this year she was getting bored during the Chinese New Year.
"It's not like we have nowhere to go." Wen Li raised his eyebrows.
In the end, the car headed towards the west of the city. Unlike the south district, the west of the city seemed to have a defined sphere of influence from the beginning.
Although it belongs to the Fu family, it has long been under Fu Yuxiu's control.
The scenery along the way is very good, and you can even see blue lakes. When the new year is over, spring will have arrived.
Fu Yuxiu drove the car smoothly. When Wen Li took out his mobile phone, he saw the red envelope sent by Jin Lewei in WX.
She spoke out loud, and Jin Lewei's gentle voice came.
"Happy New Year Li Li, be happy in the new year. How are you and Mr. Fu doing? When do you plan to get married?"
The sound of crashing waves can be heard in her voice. Apparently she had a pretty good year abroad.
"You two need to get along well. You are too cold-tempered. If you have any dissatisfaction to tell others, don't keep it in your heart. Stop quarreling..."
"Of course, you can't be bullied. If he bullies you, just tell me and I will help you seek justice..."
Jin Lewei's voice was still very gentle, with the care of the elders for the younger ones.
With a slight smile on his lips, Wen Li typed a few words to reply.
"It seems that your aunt is very satisfied with me." Fu Yuxiu chuckled, "Then our Li Bao tells me, when do you plan to marry me?"
Wen Li took a grape from the transparent box on his knee and stuffed it into his mouth.
This man brought this in the car when he set off in the morning, along with two bags of snacks on the back seat, for fear that she would be hungry again on the road.
The man turned back, chewed the sweet and sour grapes and continued driving.
After driving for thirty minutes, we quickly arrived at the western stronghold, which was built right on the bank of the fast-flowing river.
The running water flowing down from the mountain is in a turbulent and dangerous terrain, so it never freezes.
Hongyun, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, took two steps forward when he saw the car appearing and saluted respectfully.
"Master, Miss Wen Li."
Wen Li handed the fruit box in his hand to Fu Yuxiu and walked into the building along the built stone road.
Hongyun followed the two people inside. This man had been detained here since he took it from Fu Yuheng's hand.
But no one dared to bring him to trial without an order from the boss.
It's a good time to eat and drink, but this person is also quite quiet. He stays in the secret room every day and can still find time to exercise or something.
After walking seven meters from the basement level and turning a corner, we arrived at the place of detention.
Wen Li looked at the shirtless man exercising through the thick tempered glass in front of him.
It can be seen that he is very self-disciplined, and his originally tanned skin has turned a little whiter due to being locked underground for the past two days.
Just as Wen Li was about to take a step forward, darkness suddenly fell in front of his eyes.
"Let him put on his clothes." Fu Yuxiu's face darkened and he spoke to Hongyun.
Hongyun on the side was a little drunk by the owner's operation, but he still pressed the code and entered the door very obediently.
"Let go first." Wen Li stood speechless.
Fu Yuxiu didn't move his hand, "What's so good about him? If you want to see it, I'll take it off for you to see."
Wen Li was speechless for a while. She didn't come here just to see this man shirtless.
Besides, it's not like she's never seen it before.
In the past, when there were no women in Evans, all the men would walk around shirtless.
She's already used to it.
Hongyun stared at the man and came out after getting dressed, "Master, you can come in."
Fu Yuxiu let go of his hand and led Wen Li into the detention room.
The man was sitting on a chair with a standard posture, his hands neatly placed on his knees, and he looked straight at the person coming in in front of him.
He remembered this beautiful woman who saved him from the Fu family.
Hongyun picked up two chairs from the side and placed them, while he stood behind the chairs to act as a bodyguard.
Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu sat side by side, their eyebrow raising movements were very similar, and Hong Yun was stunned for a moment.
"Do you know who I am?" Wen Li spoke in a foreign language.
The man glanced at Fu Yuxiu next to her and said nothing.
"It's been almost a month since you were imprisoned. If I can't get any more useful information from you, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you here anymore."
The man still didn't speak.
Since they were both mercenaries, Wen Li naturally understood the rules of this profession. If he failed in a mission and was captured, he would never reveal the secrets of the organization.
Naturally, the employer's secrets are absolutely forbidden to be revealed.
"This is the imperial capital of Country G. Although there have been wars in the past two years, it is not a place where mercenaries can come and go as they please. Besides, you are doing it on the Fu family's territory. The price offered by the other party should be It’s pretty high.”
He didn't speak, his gaze remained unchanged.
Wen Li glanced at Fu Yuxiu next to him and nudged the lazy man with his elbow.
"Um?"
"You go out first."
Fu Yuxiu's overlapping legs suddenly opened and he sat up straight. He glanced at the man in front of him and then looked at her.
"Why should I go out?"
Wen Li said nothing, staring at him and blinking.
After watching it for a while, Fu Yuxiu was finally defeated.
Before going out, he lowered his head and whispered a threatening warning into Wen Li's ear, "Don't look at him for more than thirty seconds, or I will come in and bury him."
Wen Li started to chase people away speechlessly, and said something in passing.
"Mr. Fu, you are extremely unconfident."
Fu Yuxiu didn't refute, and bit her cheek before leaving. Wen Li felt speechless as he touched the teeth marks on his face.
Hongyun also followed Fu Yuxiu out of the room. The thick bulletproof glass had excellent sound insulation effect.
If it weren't for the extremely heart-rending shouting, you wouldn't be able to hear any movement at all.
"Now that the people are gone, I think we can tell the truth."
Wen Li suddenly looked at the man opposite him, raised his finger and pointed around, "There is an infrared sight here. If you make any irregular movements, you will be shot in the head."
He glanced at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, looked at Wen Li expressionlessly, and finally said his first words.
"I know the rules."
Wen Li nodded. In this way, the chat could proceed smoothly.
She leaned forward a little and whispered, "Do you know Evans?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wen Li's expression changing.
In this way, we can understand why Wen Li mentioned the intercontinental convention when he was insulted by Fu Yuheng at the entrance of the Royal Hotel.
Fu Yuxiu sat at the door, watching the two of them talking to each other through the tempered glass.
Compared with direct punishment, this kind of interrogation seems very harmonious.
"Master, Miss Wen Li really has a way to pry his mouth open."
Their secret palace has also caught a lot of tough talkers, and it is quite troublesome to pry their mouths open.
Of course, there are many methods here, but Miss Wen Li means not to hurt him.
Naturally, their performance has limitations.
Ten minutes passed, and the person waiting finally lost his patience and got up and opened the door.
Wen Li had just finished chatting and turned around to see the person coming in.
"Then come here, I will do what I promised you."
The man stood up and saluted respectfully.
It wasn't until she was about to leave that she continued.
"Besides, the woman next to the client looks very similar to you."
"How similar is it?"
He thought for a long time, "I'm just a little older than you."
When each mercenary organization accepts a commission, it will conduct a detailed investigation if possible, and the background and relationships of the client will be retained.
There is such chaos on the continent today. If every commission case is not investigated thoroughly, it is probably impossible to be alone.
This is also their way of protecting themselves.
As the person in charge of the operation, he naturally saw all the relevant information.
That's why I was so surprised when I saw Wen Li at the Royal Hotel.
"resemblance."
Wen Li followed Fu Yuxiu out of the secret room.
The man next to her raised his hand to hold her face and looked at it carefully, and said jokingly, "When did our Li Bao's face become a popular face?"
Based on last time's experience, I'm afraid that this woman is probably the one who did it this time.
He has trained countless women and had plastic surgery done on her face. They are not only 70% or 80% similar, but also 50% or 60% similar.
The thought of this made her whole body uncomfortable, even more disgusting than having caterpillars crawling all over her body.
But one thing is strange: Wen Li is older than her.
How can it be more similar
"Let him go and escort him to Country K."
Fu Yuxiu took the man into the car, and he had a vague feeling about such a series of operations.
Since that woman is so ungrateful, the ability to find people hidden in the entire secret palace should be put to use.
Otherwise, the little guy would be worried day and night.
"Go back." Wen Li said. Fu Yuxiu nodded and drove toward the city center.
Wen Li thought for a while along the way and the answer was not very clear. If the other party was in K country, he would have to go there.
"What kind of meeting will the Fu Family Hall meeting be like in three days?" Wen Li suddenly asked.
When coming out of Fu's house, Fu Han repeatedly warned Fu Yuxiu that he must come to attend the meeting no matter what.
"Every time there is a new generation, the Fu family will hold a meeting, and all the heads of the Fu family will participate." Fu Yuxiu said disapprovingly.
Since we are talking about upgrading, it also involves the heads of various families.
Wen Li understood immediately. No wonder Mr. Fu would say such things to her.
I just want to avoid the situation of brothers fighting after handing over the power.
Thinking that Fu Dingfeng had talked to Fu Yuxiu alone in the morning, Wen Li almost certainly spoke.
"Mr. Fu wants to give you the position of head of the Fu family?"
This is almost certain.
Fu Yuxiu's eyes were frivolous, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, "He does mean that."
It's a pity that this is just a yoke that the old man wants to restrain him.
"You refused?"
"You want me to take the position of head of the Fu family?" Fu Yuxiu raised his eyebrows.
Wen Li looked out the window and said, "This is your business. You have your own reasons whether you accept it or not. I won't interfere."
"I know very well what the old man has in mind, but if Li Baoer wants me to take over this position, it's not like I can't play with them."
Wen Li suddenly smiled and stared at him, "The rules of the Fu family are that the mistress of the family must come from a prominent family. I seem to be unqualified in everyone's eyes."
Fu Yuxiu smiled when he heard this, and the smile at the end of his eyes became more and more arrogant.
"It's not that you are not qualified, it's that the Fu family is not worthy."
The person he favored was never worthy of the Fu family.
Wen Li gently held his fingertips. The man controlled the steering wheel with one hand and held her fingers with his free hand.
This little thing was comforting him.
"Fu Yuxiu." She suddenly said.
"Um?"
Wen Li leaned over and leaned on his shoulder, "Let's leave the imperial capital after everything is over."
She can accompany him to many places.
The Imperial Capital may not have good memories for many people.
Especially him, perhaps he no longer has any other feelings for the Imperial Capital or the Fu family.
Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, and his eyes were sharp when he raised his eyes again.
"hold on… "
The car drove along the mountainous road, only twenty minutes after driving, near the center of the imperial capital, two rows of black cars suddenly appeared behind them.
Wen Li looked back through the reflector. The man in the black car leaned half out of the window and pointed his gun at their car.
"Speed up, there's someone here." Wen Li calmly gave the order.
They didn't take Fei Ran with them on this trip, they just wanted to go around the area.
In the end, these villains were given a chance.
"Sit tight."
The man finished speaking and the car accelerated.
The sound of bullets hitting the ground came from behind, one after another.
Wen Li moved the chair back a little, the bracelet on his hand moved, and a heavy rocket barrel with two packs of thumbtacks appeared on his knees.
The man chuckled as he watched her slowly scattering the thumbtacks.
"How many things are you carrying with you?"
Why are there even thumbtacks
“In order to test the scope of this space, I put two items from the supermarket inside, including chili noodles.”
Wen Li said and took back his hand, and the paper shell fell down.
"Squeak... Bang!!!"
There was the sound of a flat tire from behind, followed by the sound of a car sliding across the ground.
You can see the rising mushroom cloud in the rearview mirror.
"There's another one."
She said silently, setting up the rocket launcher and aiming it at the car behind her.
The man who leaned half out and carried the machine gun to shoot looked at the projectiles flying in an instant, and before he could scream, everything was over.
Wen Li took the things back quickly and looked at the mess behind him slowly.
Who dared to pursue him so blatantly on the territory of the imperial capital? You didn't have to guess who it was.
Fu Yuheng has reached the point of being so impatient.
Presumably, they were afraid that Mr. Fu would pass the position of head of the family to Fu Yuxiu, so he made arrangements in advance.
"It's over." Wen Li lowered his head and took the things back.
The raging fire burning behind rose up, and the black smoke formed a sharp contrast with the white snow surrounding it.
…
Fu's Manor.
Fu Yuheng was still in Ilia's room when he received the news. After sleeping for three hours, the two women still woke up.
Unlike Fu Zhining who woke up and yelled, Illya seemed calmer.
He just stared at the crystal chandelier above his head with his eyes open, without saying a word or even moving his eyeballs.
"They are all idiots! Didn't they go to the west of the city as two people? They didn't take anyone with them and they managed to escape!!"
Hui Mo stood in front of him, bowed his head, and said cautiously, "The people at the scene sent back the message that they were carrying heavy weapons, and our people couldn't hold on."
In fact, only five cars went, and there were only twenty people in total.
These people were originally arranged to go there and give it a try, but unexpectedly they didn't come back.
Fu Yuheng punched the doorframe so hard that the skin on his knuckles was broken, and now there was some blood.
"Master, do you need to arrange for someone to come over?"
The hall meeting will be held in three days, if the old man announces that he will give the headship to Fu Yuxiu at that time.
I'm afraid that everything is not so easy to recover, so we can only seize the opportunity now.
"If he dies before the meeting, even if you get the position of head, it will still be unfair." Illya sat up from the bed and looked at the person at the door.
The old man announced the convening of a church meeting this time, and every family knew that it was to give away the position of head.
Nowadays, there are different opinions within the Fu family. The old man has never shown his preference for anyone, and there are many speculations about who the head of the family is.
"What do you mean?" Fu Yuheng looked back at her.
"Only when you get the position of head of the family legitimately in the hall meeting and in front of Fu Yuxiu can you truly command the Fu family."
With the world still uncertain, if Fu Yuxiu dies, it will cause turmoil in the Fu family.
"The woman next to him is your biggest opportunity."
Illya slowly reminded me that sometimes, you can do the opposite.
"I understand what you mean." Fu Yuheng said.
That woman is Fu Yuxiu's biggest weakness. This is his last resort. If he can control her, he can also control Fu Yuxiu.
"But I want to remind you, it would be best if the old man gives you the position of master. If he doesn't give it to you, do you want to watch him take the position of master?"
Therefore, it is necessary to make a double guarantee to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Ah!!! Call me over here, call over here!!!"
Fu Zhining's voice came from the end of the corridor. Fu Yuheng looked over and the servant hurriedly ran out of Fu Zhining's room.
I hurried downstairs, fearing that someone would wake up and start to get angry.
"The second lady is probably looking for the fourth lady." Huimo said.
Fu Zhining was so angry today because of Fu Zhiqing. Now that she wakes up, she will definitely not let her go.
After a while, he saw the servant dragging Fu Zhiqing upstairs, almost stumbling to the ground in such a hurry.
Fu Zhiqing knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the door. The cup in Fu Zhining's hand fell heavily and hit her shoulder hard.
There was still some scalding hot water sprinkled on her body. Fu Zhiqing did not dare to say anything and lowered her head quietly.
The way he was beaten and scolded at will also angered Fu Zhining
"You must have colluded with that woman, it must be you!" Fu Zhining said and rushed over from the bed, "You little bitch! Who do you think you are? You dare to look at my jokes!!"
Fu Zhining had completely lost her mind at this moment and hit Fu Zhiqing one after another.
The servants next to her felt pain when they looked at her, but she didn't say a word or utter a word.
"You think you are nothing. If you were not born, Nan Jinxiu would not be crazy. It was your mother who drove Nan Jinxiu crazy. Do you still think that illegitimate bastard will be good to you? You are in a dream!"
"You are all the same, you are all low-born, you are obviously of low origin but you want to climb to the top. Nan Jinxiu is the same, and your shameless mother is the same!!"
Fu Zhining's words didn't look like a daughter of aristocratic family at all, and she was worse than a shrew in the market.
The servants bowed their heads. They had already reached this point, and no one dared to go up and persuade them.
Everyone in the entire Fu family knows that the second young lady hates the fourth young lady, almost to the point of gnashing their teeth in hatred.
Fu Zhiqing knelt resignedly, and she was already used to the pain on her body.
Anyway, as long as she stays in the Fu family for a day, she will always face this situation.
Resistance will only lead to more crazy whippings, so it is better to endure it this time.
Gu Shulan hurried over and stepped forward to stop Fu Zhiqing, who was still going crazy.
"That's enough, Zhining, you've gone too far. Your grandpa is still resting. What will you do if you wake your grandpa?"
Fu Zhining's hands didn't stop and she stared at Gu Shulan.
"Let go, leave me alone!"
Gu Shulan did not let go and stood in front of Fu Zhiqing, "I won't let you. You either beat me up today or stop making trouble. Your grandpa is still resting!"
"You think I'm afraid of you? If I really hit you, my second uncle may not be able to protect you!"
These words pierced Gu Shulan's heart fiercely.
The wound that was already scabbed was now cracking, and the pain was even worse.
"Zhining, stop making trouble." Fu Yuheng came from the side and glanced at the miserable situation in the room.
Really, nothing is necessarily good anymore, everything is smashed to pieces.
Seeing his eldest brother come in, Fu Zhining sat back on the sofa panting.
"No matter how hard you try, I won't tell you, but grandpa is still resting, so you can't wake him up." Fu Yuheng then added, "You can't hit anyone either, just be quiet."
She still listened to Fu Yuheng's words. The only people in the Fu family who could control her were the old man and Fu Yuheng.
"You can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to do anything, and you are not allowed to make any noise."
After saying these words, Fu Yuheng turned and left.
"Okay, I won't hit you, but you must go to the balcony and kneel down for me!" Fu Zhining said, pointing to the balcony of the room.
"Xiao Ning, don't go too far!"
"Second aunt, as long as I am happy, grandpa will always obey me. If you say another word, she will kneel for an extra hour! How much more valuable can a servant's daughter be!"
Gu Shulan wanted to say something else, but Fu Zhiqing beside her stretched out her hand to hold her.
"Second Aunt, it's okay with me."
Anyway, she was used to it. Fu Zhining once made her kneel in the snow all night in her nightgown.
That's okay.
If someone pleads for mercy again, she will only become worse.
The servants who were cleaning the manor looked up at the balcony on the third floor from time to time. It was the first day of the new year, the first day of the new year.
The fourth lady knelt in the snow again, this was already the fifth time since the beginning of winter this year.
Every time the second young lady was unhappy, she would always grab the fourth young lady and torture her, leaving such a good little girl with injuries all over her body.
In the past, during the twelfth lunar month of winter, people could throw water balloons into the lake for the fourth lady to pick up. The repeated back and forth almost froze the fourth lady to death in the lake.
On the surface, she is the fourth young lady of the Fu family, but in the Fu family, she is not even as good as a servant.
I don’t know when this kind of day will end.
