That night, Zeng Rui met an old friend in a small restaurant in the city.

After not seeing each other for a year, the originally high-spirited eldest young master of the Luo family seemed to have aged ten years. Not only had his temples started to turn slightly white, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes also proved that his life during this period of time was not as easy as the outside world said.

"It's hard for me to help you."

Young Master Luo, who could be regarded as the leader of the Lightyear Group, extinguished Zeng Rui's last illusion with just one mouthful.

Zeng Rui's hand holding the glass trembled slightly, but he quickly picked up the glass and said, "Drink!"

"Boom!"

Luo Zhiqi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then quickly filled up another glass for himself and drank it all again.

The sorghum wine with a temperature of more than 50 degrees was so spicy that Luo Zhiqi's cheeks soon became rosy.

"When you first went online, I asked Secretary Guo if he could suppress the matter. The other party's answer was very simple. Qicheng needed someone to stand up and stand against Li Xiao, and this time you showed up.

.”

Lowering his head to light the cigarette in his mouth, Luo Zhiqi puffed out the smoke with slightly blurred eyes.

"I don't want to escape unscathed, I just want the brothers around me to stop eating pot roast together!" Zeng Rui's eyes were extremely sincere.

Luo Zhiqi shook his head and replied: "A big tree attracts the wind! Ever since our Luo family's center of gravity left the north of the city, you have taken too big steps and moved too hastily. You can figure it out for yourself and rely on Mr. Chen's relationship alone."

, how could I possibly be able to support you? At that time, the deputy city lord was already the most important person in my father’s head. What’s coming is coming, and he can’t even escape it, so how can you be spared?”

Zeng Rui looked up at Luo Zhiqi and asked, "Do you think I have a choice?"

"..."

Luo Zhiqi's eyes were a little evasive and he chose to remain silent.

It is true that if Guangnian had not tried his best to help Luo Zhiqi take the throne under Zeng Rui's insistence, then the Guangnian family would never be the only one in the north of the city today.

In the battle for Tengtai, it can be said that Guangnian stepped on Wang Dagou, which also confirmed their dominance in the north of the city.

After Luo Zhiqi successfully came to power, he reciprocated the favor by giving away the two largest projects in Tengtai's hands, allowing the Lightyear Group to achieve a qualitative leap.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

If the Lightyear Group had not stood at the top of the pyramid in the north of the city, this conflict with the Xiao family would not have been taken so seriously by the upper management and blatantly manipulated.

At the same time, if the Lightyear Group is given time to develop with peace of mind, Yi Da's all-round character may not be able to contact higher-level leaders and sacrifice money to save his life at critical moments.

If it wasn't for Luo Zhiqi, he wouldn't have faced off against Wang Dagou. If he hadn't faced off against Wang Dagou, he wouldn't have provoked Yuan Cheng and the Xiao family behind him.

In this inevitable conflict, it would be unrealistic to say that Luo Zhiqi has no responsibility at all.

Because of this, when Zeng Rui brought the topic to this point, Luo Zhiqi could only remain silent.

Luo Zhiqi pondered for a while, then saw that Zeng Rui's eyes never left him, and then he said bravely: "I can't help you with this matter. Since the higher-ups are already targeting you, someone must step forward to pay the bill. I

The most I can do is send you away."

"I don't need you to send me away, I can just stand up and pay for this!"

Obviously, Zeng Rui was completely dissatisfied with Luo Zhiqi's answer.

"Gulong, Gulong!"

Luo Zhiqi raised the wine glass again, his Adam's apple twitching, and drank a large glass full of strong liquor again.

"Boom!"

Putting the glass heavily on the table, Luo Zhiqi took two deep breaths and said, "I'm going to find someone for you right now!"

Looking at Luo Zhiqi's leaving figure, Zeng Rui's eyes turned red.

Although there are various theories from the outside world, it is said that Zeng Rui is just a dog raised by the Luo family, a knife in Luo Zhiqi's hand, and the so-called Lightyear Company is just an external security team of Tengtai.

Even within the Lightyear Group, Yida Zhang Peng has always had a hint of hostility and resistance towards Luo Zhiqi. Even though they rarely express it openly, they have all raised objections on matters large and small.

But in Zeng Rui's heart, Luo Zhiqi was still the boy who sat with him in a small Internet cafe, smoking the same pack of cigarettes, drinking Coke and playing Dota together.

He will never forget that at his most critical moment, it was Luo Zhiqi who walked into the smelly garbage station to pick him up, and even fought with Li Xiao's brothers in the street for his own sake.

There is no discussion of interests between brothers, and there is no so-called gratitude.

Today, it can be said that Zeng Rui is taking advantage of a favor, and even has a hint of coercion in it.

But if Zeng Rui had any other option, he would not choose to take this path. For the sake of Lightyear and other brothers, he ended up living the life he hated most.

At that moment, he forgot the so-called "morality".

…

"Uncle Guo, no matter what, you must help me this time. As long as you can come forward, I believe that Light Year can definitely overcome this hurdle!"

After Luo Zhiqi left the small restaurant, Xiao Cao drove the car non-stop to the Family Courtyard, which symbolizes the core of the Seven Cities.

In a study room of about 40 square meters, there was a faint smell of ink in the room. Guo Hanqing, the Seventh Cities Secretariat, who was sitting at the desk wearing reading glasses and reviewing a large amount of documents, turned a deaf ear to Luo Zhiqi's words.

"Plop!"

Suddenly, Luo Zhiqi's knees softened and he knelt upright in front of Guo Hanqing. He said with a slight trembling: "Uncle Guo, after my father left Qicheng, I didn't miss a single thing you asked for.

I have done everything, and I have given up all my fame and wealth. I just beg you this time, can you help me?"

"Wow!"

Guo Hanqing suddenly turned his head, looked at Luo Zhiqi with sharp eyes and said, "Are those things I asked you to do for me? If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't be able to help you do these things even if you beg me.

!You still have the nerve to come to me and tell me about Guangnian. Do you know that if I hadn’t dealt with it, it wouldn’t have been Guangnian Wuye who would have died, but you and Tengtai!”

"..."

Luo Zhiqi's eyes were stunned, and he completely froze on the spot.

"The west part of the city is about to be renovated, and the north part of the city is about to be piloted. In troubled times, heavy codes must be used. Every time there is a change, someone has to sacrifice. If they don't pay with blood, shall we?"

Guo Hanqing's words were merciless, one sentence after another, leaving Luo Zhiqi unable to speak at all.

"Remember, you are not allowed to go anywhere during this period, and you are not allowed to look for anyone! Only when this incident is completely over will you and your Tengtai have a chance to make a comeback, do you understand?"
