Chapter 82
Lan Xin rarely went to teahouses to drink tea, because he always drank when he had to socialize in some business dealings. The quiet and far-reaching style of tea tasting that challenged people's state of mind was not suitable for him.
Senior Brother Zhang rarely goes out in normal times, but Lan Xin, the newly appointed head of the Lan family, invited him to meet at the teahouse. He had to give him some face and reluctantly went over to make the appointment. The Lan family was now employing people, and he
Of course Mr. Zhang, the oldest and most skilled man, cannot just sit back and watch and do nothing, right?
When Lan Xin saw Senior Brother Zhang standing at the door of the teahouse, she motioned to him expressionlessly and turned around and got in the car. Senior Brother Zhang frowned and followed without asking anything.
The car must have just been car maintenance. Brother Zhang smelled a strong fragrance as soon as he opened the car door. The fragrance was very strong. It seemed that it was not only the smell of the car perfume, but also mixed with other spices.
The driver drove the car out of the parking lot and headed towards the suburbs. The night outside was getting darker. At this time, what important matter could not be discussed in a teahouse, but why should we find a deserted place to discuss it?
So Senior Brother Zhang asked curiously, "Master Lan, it's so late, doesn't it seem like it's not suitable for an outing?".
Lan Xin's eyes paused for a moment on the driver in the driving seat in front, and replied with a smile, "I just found out the news about my little girl Xiyue, so I want to ask my senior brother for a favor...".
Senior Brother Zhang frowned and asked again, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you wanted me to help you save people? I wasn't prepared at all. Even if you have any plans, Master Lan, you should have informed me in advance, right?"
"Senior Brother, there is no need to worry. It's just that someone wants to see you..." The eldest young master Lan Tianxing had to give in in front of Senior Brother Zhang. Naturally, he couldn't go too far, so Lan Xin still explained with a smile.
Senior Brother Zhang seemed to feel very unhappy and asked calmly, "Want to see me? Who is so arrogant that he wants me to come and visit him personally?".
Lan Xin still replied with a smile on his face, "We'll be there not far ahead. This matter is related to my daughter's safety, so... I can only help Senior Brother Lao!".
"I'm okay with going out for a walk, but meeting guests here..." Senior Brother Zhang looked at the barren mountains outside the car window and became a little unhappy, "Master Lan, what are you doing? Are you trying to kidnap me?"
Lan Xin just smiled and did not refute or explain.
"Stop the car and open the window!" Senior Brother Zhang knocked on the door twice and told the driver. The aroma in the car was so strong that it made him feel dizzy. He wanted to get out of the car and get some air, but the feeling of motion sickness was quite uncomfortable.
The driver didn't respond as if he hadn't heard anything. Lan Xin motioned to the driver to speed up, and persuaded with a smile, "The other party said that they can only let Xiyue go if they see you. So... I can only let my senior brother suffer and follow me for a while."
Come on, Lan Xin will remember senior brother's kindness...".
"You...don't want to trade my life for Lan Xiyue, do you?" Brother Zhang frowned and expressed dissatisfaction when he thought of this, when Lan Xin suddenly slapped him on the back of the heart.
The space in the car was too small, and the two of them were very close to each other. Senior Brother Zhang, who was so dizzy from the fragrance, didn't worry about Lan Xin suddenly attacking him. He just turned halfway and fell down beside the car door.
There was blood dripping from the corners of his lips.
"It's already here, senior brother, why are you in such a hurry? Just be patient..." Lan Xin helped Senior Brother Zhang back to his seat in a friendly manner, and then advised, "You are already so old, you can't change your bad temper.
Change it? My daughter is still so young, can I stand by and watch something happen to her? So... you shouldn’t blame me!”.
What he said seemed to make sense. Senior Brother Zhang leaned on his seat and smiled without saying anything. Since he was already meat on someone else's chopping block, he could only be slaughtered by others.
The car stopped in front of an abandoned three-story building at the foot of the mountain. Lan Xin half dragged and half supported Senior Brother Zhang out of the car and brought him inside. The driver soon followed in. Judging from her walking posture and body shape,
You can tell she is a young woman.
There is a space that has been sorted out on the abandoned floor, which should be used for temporary hiding and communication. The lights inside are not very bright, and it is in the wilderness. At night, the north wind howls and a few birds are heard from time to time.
Night cry. This scene looks a bit gloomy and creepy.
There was still a strong aroma floating inside. Lan Xin immediately took a wet wipe and covered his mouth and nose after he came in. He didn't want to get in other people's way before he started negotiating terms, so it was better to be cautious.
Senior Brother Zhang was thrown to the ground and stopped moving. There were still a lot of eye-catching blood stains on his chest. It looked like he was not only injured, but also seriously injured.
"How are you, are you sure it's him?" Yinyue walked out of the darkness inside, her steps were very light, almost silent. Her question was not for Lan Xin, but for the driver.
"Yes, it's him!" The driver took off the decorations on his face, revealing a soft and charming face. It was Lan Xin's first wife, Yu Jing. It seems that she and Lan Xin's husband and wife team cooperated
Very good, very tacit understanding, completed the task so quickly and took Senior Brother Zhang as a prisoner.
Yinyue stood two steps away from Senior Brother Zhang. Although they were similar in age, their skills and strength were definitely not the same. Even though Senior Brother Zhang was already in a useless state, she still had scruples.
"Hel him up!" Yinyue ordered Lan Xin. She wanted to distinguish the authenticity for herself but didn't want to do it herself. She was also afraid that there was fraud in it and she would be hurt.
"Where is my daughter? I have to see Xiyue..." Lan Xin stood beside Senior Brother Zhang but was not in a hurry to carry out the order. He had to seize the opportunity to negotiate terms.
Yinyue looked at Yu Jing again and asked, "Are you sure? If something goes wrong, we will all die!".
"No, I brought him that cup of tea. Besides, he was injured by Mr. Lan..." Yu Jing said with certainty, "He is already a cripple!".
Yinyue's eyes swept from Yu Jing's face to Lan Xin, and then fell on Senior Brother Zhang. She still couldn't believe that Senior Brother Zhang, who was like a great god, could be kidnapped so easily.
"If you don't believe it, I can cut off his head and give it to you..." Lan Xin took out a dagger and pressed it on Senior Brother Zhang's shoulder. He looked at Yinyue and continued to negotiate terms, "But I want to see my daughter first.
I won’t hand Xiyue over to you before I see him!”.
"Senior sister..." Yu Jing saw Yin Yue's hesitant expression and asked anxiously, "Xi Yue... hasn't come back yet?".
Yinyue's hesitant eyes swept over Senior Brother Zhang and Lan Xin again, and then she gestured towards the darkness behind her. Even if she wasn't completely sure of the authenticity, she couldn't keep doing nothing like this.
Lan Xiyue was not blindfolded and mouthed like a normal kidnapped hostage, and her hands and feet were tied together unable to move. Instead, she walked over leisurely as if taking a walk. The two Akabane behind her
The clan disciples are like slaves and have no restraints on her.
"Dad, you still love me..." Xiyue smiled and greeted Lan Xin in a good mood, "I'm fine here...".
"Shut up!" Lan Xin suddenly shouted, "Go out and wait for me in the car. Go quickly!".
"Huh? Oh..." Lan Xiyue was stunned for a moment and did not refute but walked out of the door obediently. Yinyue smiled coldly and ordered Yu Jing, "Stop her!".
Before the life or death of Senior Brother Zhang was determined, the deal was not concluded, so Lan Xiyue, the 'hostage', had to be held in their hands and could not be let go.
Yu Jing knowingly grabbed Lan Xiyue's wrist and controlled her. Her skills were far superior to Lan Xiyue's. Moreover, their mother and daughter had already cooperated tacitly, so the chance of an accident was almost non-existent.
.
"You...really want to kill me?" Senior Brother Zhang turned to look at the dagger Lan Xin pressed on his shoulder, and sighed sadly, "I didn't expect that I would die in such a way...".
"I have no other choice for Xiyue. I will remember my brother's kindness and set up a monument for you. I will write your heroic deeds into the Lan family's genealogy so that future generations of the Lan family will remember you..." Lan
