No one, including Wang Xiaoyao, was prepared for Li Tianlan's sudden kick without any warning.
In hundreds of years, there have been violent fights between bad-tempered bosses in the Hidden Dragon Sea, but this is definitely the first time such a sudden 'sneak attack' with such an alarming momentum has occurred.
The guards who were just going through the motions to keep watch around him reacted immediately and gathered towards Li Tianlan completely out of instinct.
Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, the stunned councilors and directors finally came to their senses.
Amid the uproar, Guo Wentian's furious roar almost reached the sky.
"Li Tianlan!! What do you want to do? Do you still have parliament in your eyes?! Do you know where this place is?!"
He stared at Li Tianlan so hard that his eyes started to turn red for a while.
"It's too much, it's too much!"
"Unscrupulous, beating...well, unscrupulous! It must be dealt with seriously!"
"What kind of occasion is this? You are still too young to be so immature."
Several congressmen surrounding Guo Wentian began to denounce him at the same time.
Only Wang Qinglei didn't even look at Li Tianlan, and turned around and rushed into the pond.
The pond water soaked through his leather shoes and trousers, and Wang Qinglei didn't bother to care. Under Wang Shengxiao's somewhat gloating eyes, he helped Wang Xiaoyao up, who was lying in the pond and couldn't even move for a while.
"Xiaoyao, how are you?"
Wang Qinglei asked in a deep voice.
Wang Xiaoyao's body was stiff. Li Tianlan's kick was extremely targeted. Although there was no sword energy, the huge power shook his internal organs at the same time, leaving him temporarily in a state of stiffness where he could neither breathe nor react.
state.
If Wang Qinglei hadn't reacted quickly, Wang Xiaoyao would have drowned in Guo Wentian's denouncement of Li Tianlan.
"Xiaoyao? Xiaoyao?"
Wang Qinglei gritted his teeth and patted Wang Xiaoyao on the back.
"puff!"
A large mouthful of sticky blood spurted out from Wang Xiaoyao's mouth. Wang Xiaoyao breathed heavily, with unconcealable pain in his eyes.
During the alliance's action that night, he had already been severely injured by Wang Shengxiao, and now he was kicked by Li Tianlan. His injuries were even worse, and his whole body had weakened to the bottom.
"No...it's okay..."
Wang Xiaoyao's expression was slightly distorted. This kick completely detonated the injury that he had barely suppressed, and the injury backfired. The huge pain made his eyes black for a while. He gritted his teeth and hoarsely said: "I can't die..."
He tore off a button on his clothes and crushed it. With trembling arms, he poured the white powder in the button into his mouth, his breathing becoming more rapid.
Wang Qinglei directly picked up Wang Xiaoyao and left the pond without saying a word, but as many eyes gathered, he put Wang Xiaoyao down, looked at Li Tianlan, and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I need an explanation."
Li Tianlan glanced at him.
"Yes, I, Wang Qinglei, speak softly, and your Majesty may not look down on you, but at least I am also one of the members.
I treat Xiaoyao like a biological brother. I don’t know where he offended you. If there is no explanation for this matter today, I will never be done with you."
He looked into Li Tianlan's eyes, his eyes burning with anger: "Kill me if you can."
"Brother?"
Li Tianlan spoke slowly: "The last person who treated him as his brother has ended badly now. Why don't you reconsider?"
Wang Qinglei's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and said nothing.
"His Majesty Dong Huang is so majestic."
Guo Wentian's voice sounded behind Wang Qinglei, gloomy and cold: "If you don't agree, you will attack here, even to the death. Those who know will think that today is your induction meeting, and those who don't know may think that His Majesty is...
About to ascend the throne.
Do we all look like ants in your eyes? Can you humiliate us at will? If there is no explanation for this matter today, then there is no need to hold this meeting.
I, Guo Wentian, speak softly and can't influence your joining the job, so I'll see you in the media and newspapers.
Publicize your behavior in front of everyone in Central Continent, and I would also like to know how Central Continent will evaluate you!"
Dongcheng Wudi's expression changed on the side, not because he was afraid, but because he was a little angry.
Li Tianlan has left Tiannan. Although he is still being held by the new owner of the East Palace, at least this time Guo Wentian was smart and did not threaten Li Tianlan with the East Palace.
But the current situation is that Guo Wentian is threatening Li Tianlan with his personal reputation.
This may not sound painful or itchy, but in fact it is definitely not a trivial matter.
As one of the most powerful groups in Central Continent with a long history, the Prince Group has advantages that other groups cannot match in terms of publicity. If we really want to play with public opinion, they can be said to be the strongest.
If they are willing to bear the consequences, they have the ability to fabricate Li Tianlan's image at will.
Let’s not talk about this yet.
If Guo Wentian refuses to participate in this meeting today, all conflicts will be intensified to an unavoidable level, and whether Li Tianlan can successfully join the company will be a question.
And this will inevitably change Li Huacheng's attitude towards certain things.
A single move can affect the whole body, but that's all.
When the Li family collapsed and Gu Xingyun came to power, they also experienced these twists and turns, but the parliament finally balanced the situation.
But this time, the series of cause and effect was much greater than when Gu Xingyun came to power.
"In any case, Your Majesty, Wang Xiaoyao is also one of the participants. Taking action against him represents disrespect for the parliament."
Another deep voice sounded.
The speaker was a member of the academy.
He doesn't have a position, but discusses things as they happen.
Groups are circles, but at their level, mindless grouping is impossible.
Li Tianlan attacked Wang Xiaoyao on such an occasion. No matter how you say this, it will be both good and bad.
Li Tianlan glanced at him, and then looked at Wang Xiaoyao, who was gradually able to stand still.
Wang Xiaoyao subconsciously shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere.
"Are you convinced?"
Li Tianlan asked.
His voice was clear and calm, without any anger at all.
Wang Xiaoyao gritted his teeth secretly.
He knew why Li Tianlan kicked him.
From the moment he saw Qin Weibai holding his arm, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He wouldn't forget what he had said to Qin Weibai in the morning.
Those words were what he dared to say after seeing Li Tianlan leave Tiannan.
If Li Tianlan was still the master of the East Palace, if he dared to say those words, Li Tianlan would not be unjust if he could be beaten to death.
And now...
Obviously, Qin Weibai complained to Li Tianlan.
That's the reason.
It can only be this reason.
Although Li Tianlan has left Tiannan now, although Li Tianlan has left home, and although there are conflicts between Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai, due to the subtle psychology of men, Li Tianlan obviously still has a strong affection for Qin Weibai.
Possessiveness.
There are very few men who can be calm when seeing a new man around their ex-wife/ex-girlfriend.
Under normal circumstances, although I feel sick, I can bear it as long as I can.
But my ex-wife/ex-girlfriend has come to complain, so I can’t stand it anymore, so I’m going to have to deal with it with all my might.
It's not that Wang Xiaoyao doesn't understand this mentality, it's just that his feelings for Qin Weibai make him a little too impatient.
As a result, Qin Weibai went to complain to Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan asked him if he was convinced.
What could he say?
What could he say when he deserved to be beaten?
"I accept it."
Wang Xiaoyao pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "I did something wrong in this matter, and I am sorry for Your Majesty."
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.
"this matter..."
Guo Wentian spoke with a gloomy face.
But before he could finish speaking, Li Tianlan had already turned his head.
His eyes fell on Wang Shengxiao: "You will sit with me later."
Wang Shengxiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Wang Qinglei's expression changed.
Wang Xiaoyao's expression changed.
The expressions of everyone in the Prince Group changed.
Half of what Guo Wentian said was strangled in his throat. He still opened his mouth and stared at Li Tianlan, but couldn't say a word. He looked funny like a clown.
Li Tianlan looked at him and said calmly: "Tell me, what's going on? Finish your words."
Guo Wentian's body was trembling slightly, and the huge anger stirred the blood in his body. The blood rushed through his chest fiercely, his heart beat violently, and his face turned completely red.
threaten.
Li Tianlan's simple words can definitely be said to be one of the most powerful threats Guo Wentian has ever heard.
It's okay to sit with Wang Shengxiao, but is this just sitting together?
In this sensitive situation, not to mention sitting next to each other, even if Li Tianlan and Wang Shengxiao were even slightly closer in a physical sense, the entire Prince Group would be on tenterhooks.
If Beihai Wang and Li Tianlan cooperate...
Today there is almost no need to think about their plot.
Don't talk about the location of Beihaijuntuan...
Even if you want to win the position of Governor of Beihai, it is estimated to be difficult. Even if you can win it, you will definitely have to pay a higher price.
Guo Wentian gritted his teeth. After a long while, he took a deep breath, his face turned red, and he said gloomily: "I have nothing to say."
He really didn't expect that at this critical juncture, the entire Prince Group would look at Li Tianlan's face.
And this is also a warning.
If he continues to make trouble, it will affect Li Tianlan's employment.
Then Li Tianlan also has the ability to make the Prince Group achieve nothing or even suffer a huge defeat in this meeting.
Li Tianlan has the strength to play like this, and he can definitely afford it.
Even if he doesn't have the title of Protector of the Country, his strength will not be affected at all.
But Guo Wentian couldn't afford it.
If we do not seize this opportunity, it will affect the future layout of the Prince Group.
Li Tianlan glanced at him lightly and looked at his watch.
