Chapter 157: Mystery(1/2)
Korean government.
The main hall in the front yard.
Accompanied by Li Qi, Hu Fei walked slowly in the courtyard. Every servant he met along the way, whether they knew Hu Fei or not, saluted respectfully.
From a distance, Hu Fei had already spotted Li Shanchang, who was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the main hall.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Shanchang also turned his head and looked over. He saw Hu Fei walking slowly towards him at a glance. He immediately showed a happy smile on his face and hurried forward to greet him.
"Oh, my dear nephew, you are here. You made me wait for this. I thought you were delayed by something and wouldn't come."
Li Shanchang greeted Hu Fei and said with a smile.
"My nephew has met his uncle."
"What did my uncle say? No matter how big the deal is, I can still keep my uncle's promise. Even if thousands of troops come to stop me, my nephew still has to come."
Hu Fei smiled, saluted, and said seriously.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Li Shanchang shook his head and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"I'm really happy that you can come. You must have a few more drinks with me tonight, and you won't come back until you're drunk!"
Li Shanchang took Hu Fei's arm and said happily.
"My nephew is too drunk. If he drinks too much and starts talking nonsense, I hope my uncle won't blame him."
Hu Fei looked embarrassed and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want today, I will never blame you."
Li Shanchang waved his hands and said loudly.
"Okay, then my nephew has nothing to worry about. He will definitely have a drink with his uncle."
Hu Fei waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Father, dear brother, let's not stay here. Let's go in and talk. The food and wine are already on the table. Sit down and chat slowly."
Li Qi smiled, interrupted the greetings between Hu Fei and Li Shanchang, and said with a smile.
Li Shanchang agreed, happily took Hu Fei's arm and walked into the main hall, letting Hu Fei sit next to him.
After the three of them were seated, the maid waiting on the side hurriedly came forward and poured a full glass of wine for each of the three of them.
"You guys go down first. Don't disturb me without my order."
Li Shanchang looked at the maids and servants guarding the surroundings and said in a deep voice.
After the words fell, all the maids and servants retreated, leaving only the three people sitting at the table.
"My dear nephew, I would like to offer you this first glass of wine."
Li Shanchang picked up a glass of wine, looked at Hu Fei, and said seriously.
"Uncle, you can't help it. Aren't you trying to offend your nephew? There's no reason for an elder to offer wine to a younger one. It's your nephew who should offer you a drink."
Hu Fei waved his hand, picked up the wine, and said hurriedly.
"No, listen to me. If you hadn't warned me about the traitor in the mansion this time, the consequences would have been disastrous. Thanks to you, on behalf of the Li family, I would like to express my gratitude to my nephew!"
"I respect you by doing it first!"
As Li Shanchang spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
"Brother, my father's wish is also my wish, I will do it first!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Qi also said something, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Since my uncle and cousin have both drank, I won't refuse anymore. But I still say that it's just a small effort. I hope my uncle and cousin don't have to worry about it. The family does not speak the same language and does not distinguish between each other."
"I did it too!"
After Hu Fei finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"What a good example of a family that doesn't talk to each other! Good! My dear nephew, I now regret that I got to know you so late. It's so late to meet you!"
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei and said loudly, with emotion on his face.
"The days are long and it's neither too early nor too late. Maybe it's just the right time."
Hu Fei smiled and said slowly.
When Li Shanchang heard this, he was even more happy. While urging Hu Fei to eat the food, he kept raising the glass. It seemed that he had not drank so happily for a long time.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Shanchang brought up the matter of Hu Fei's fortune-telling and rape again, intentionally or unintentionally.
"My dear nephew, tell me honestly, are you really good at reading faces?"
Li Shanchang looked into Hu Fei's eyes and asked word for word.
"Uncle, you still don't believe me?"
Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too bizarre. Do you know who the person you mentioned who intended to murder me is?"
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei and asked seriously.
"who?"
Hu Fei asked pretending to be curious.
"The butler of my house, Lu Zhongqian!"
Li Shanchang stared into Hu Fei's eyes and lowered his voice.
But when it came to Lu Zhongqian's three words, he deliberately emphasized his tone.
"It turned out to be a housekeeper."
Hu Fei nodded and said with a smile.
"Aren't you surprised at all?"
"He is an old man who has been with me for decades. Even I didn't realize that he had second thoughts behind his back, but you could tell it just by looking at him casually."
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei and said with something in mind.
"Although I didn't know that this person had such an important position in my uncle's house, now that I have seen that there is such a person, there is nothing surprising about who he is."
"I just didn't expect this person to have hidden himself for so many years. He was really deliberate."
Hu Fei pondered for a moment and then said slowly, his brows showing sincerity.
"Do you know what he did behind my back?"
Li Shanchang continued to ask.
"Appreciate further details."
Hu Fei showed a hint of interest and asked curiously.
"Over the years, he has been secretly recording what I have done, no matter how big or small, most of them are between me and your father. Although most of them are fabricated, he actually even recorded the fact that I recommended your father.
Nai, don’t you think this matter is too strange?”
Li Shanchang thought about it for a moment and said slowly.
"It seems that he is another poor person who wants to take advantage of my father's unstable position to get a promotion."
Hu Fei curled his lips and said with a smile.
"Aren't you surprised?"
Li Shanchang frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Although the things recorded by Lu Zhongqian seem to be directed at Li Shanchang, once the incident occurs, Hu Weiyong will also be implicated. In other words, it is the sharpest weapon against Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong!
But it was Hu Fei who exposed the truth of all this, which seemed too coincidental.
That's why Li Shanchang couldn't help but feel suspicious, thinking that Hu Fei knew the truth from the beginning.
"It's not surprising that there are too many people in this court who don't want my father to continue sitting in the position of prime minister, either out of fear or jealousy. My nephew has long been used to it."
"I just didn't expect that this person actually wanted to use this matter to involve my uncle. He deserves to die."
Hu Fei smiled bitterly, then narrowed his eyes and said.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Li Shanchang and Li Qi looked at each other.
"It seems that you really know how to read faces, but how do you tell it? Can you really tell so much just by looking at your face and palms?"
Li Shanchang took a sip from his wine glass and asked curiously.
"Secrets must not be revealed."
Hu Fei shook his head, showed a meaningful smile, and said slowly.
"Well, since you don't want to say more, it's not convenient for me to ask any more questions, but I will never forget this friendship."
Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei and said with some disappointment.
"However, my nephew has something he can tell his uncle."
