The rising sun is rising and the sun is shining brightly.
In late summer and early autumn, Youzhou ushered in a rare good weather.
Bathed in the golden sunshine and with a cautious look on his face, Hua Qingfeng knocked on the door of the Bai family villa. What he felt was not the turbulent murderous intent and depressive atmosphere in the villa, but peace.
Everyone in the Bai family is peaceful.
Dongcheng Wudi is also very calm.
As for Li Tianlan, who caused the uproar, he was even calmer.
The family was having breakfast in the restaurant. When he saw the servant walking over with Hua Qingfeng, Li Tianlan waved to him casually and said in a calm voice: "Have you eaten yet? Let's have some together?"
"Minister...His Royal Highness, Speaker Bai, Secretary-General..."
Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and said hello unnaturally, his expression looking awkward.
"Even if you want to arrest someone, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
In a clear voice, Bai Qingqian walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fried eggs. She glanced at Hua Qingfeng and her tone was lukewarm.
At this moment, even the master of the Shadow Sect, who had been with Li Huacheng all year round, felt a little breathless. From the time he entered until now, except for Li Tianlan, only Bai Qingqian had spoken to him, but the dissatisfaction in his tone was clear.
expressed.
Dongcheng Wudi and Bai Zhanfang were eating and didn't seem to notice Hua Qingfeng's arrival at all, not even raising their eyelids.
This calmness seemed to clearly express the indifference and hostility of the Bai family and the Dongcheng family, and then turned into huge pressure, which almost made Hua Qingfeng breathless.
Hua Qingfeng stood stiffly, looking at Li Tianlan who was eating breakfast slowly. He didn't dare to make a sound to urge him, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only stay silent.
In the silence, he could clearly feel that the wealthy group and the academic school, which had originally decided to work together because of Li Tianlan, and had been working happily together for more than three years, now seemed to be drifting apart precisely because of Li Tianlan.
The rift between the two major groups is getting bigger and bigger, to the point where it can almost tear apart the honeymoon period of cooperation between the two parties.
The Qi family was wiped out.
Li Tianlan has touched Zhongzhou's bottom line.
As the president, Li Huacheng must deal with Li Tianlan strictly, but as the leader of the academic group, it is inappropriate to do so. The general direction and his personal position are always in conflict. Hua Qingfeng cannot deny that Li Huacheng's actions are correct, but
But he didn't dare to agree with his resolute approach, so the conflict turned into silence. He stood there, looking at Li Tianlan, extremely patiently.
"How is the door master's injury?"
Li Tianlan asked casually.
"fine."
Hua Qingfeng moved the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a smile. The serious injuries he suffered in Eastern Europe have not recovered. In fact, he has been staying in the hospital of the wealthy group to recuperate recently. The Burning Legion raided the hospital. He reluctantly
After two attacks with the master of the Burning Legion, the injury was affected, and the internal injuries became more serious. In fact, Hua Qingfeng was not included in the lineup to capture Li Tianlan, but for some reason, he was holding on to the injury.
Came here.
"Who are all the people coming?"
Li Tianlan's tone did not have any ups and downs, and he concentrated on the breakfast in front of him, which was all home-cooked breakfast. Bai Qingqian, who was in a high position, cooked the food himself. Naturally, it was impossible for him to cook it as well as the professional chefs. Xiaomi
Porridge, fried dumplings, fried eggs, and a few light side dishes were ordinary, but what Li Tianlan ate was extremely delicious.
"Security Department, General Staff, Special Operations Bureau, Shadow Assassination Force..."
Hua Qingfeng quickly named more than a dozen organizations, all of which were familiar elite forces entrenched in Youzhou. The simultaneous dispatch of these organizations represented Zhongzhou's attitude. A rough estimate, in order to capture Li Tianlan, Zhongzhou dispatched at least
Five thousand people, I'm afraid there are more people preparing at this time.
This can definitely be said to be a truly generous move.
"So, the Bai family's manor is now surrounded, right?"
Bai Zhanfang suddenly spoke slowly, with no emotion or anger in his voice.
"No."
Hua Qingfeng's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, and he smiled bitterly: "President Bai, we are not targeting the Bai family. In fact, the manpower of various departments is still outside Qingshan, which is about three kilometers away from the manor. Two
They were already there hours ago, and no one has been near the Bai Manor under the orders of the council. You know what this means."
Bai Zhanfang twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
Sweat was already forming on Hua Qingfeng's forehead.
After the Haomen Group's hospital was raided, Haomen Group had made arrangements as soon as possible to arrange all the injured in another sanatorium. It was still a centralized treatment, but this time in order to ensure that the sanatorium was safe, Zhongzhou Xinjin
Wei Kunlun, an invincible master, is personally in charge of the hospital.
Hua Qingfeng was also receiving treatment at that sanatorium, but was jointly invited over by people from the Security Department and the General Staff more than an hour ago.
Capture Li Tianlan.
Capture Li Tianlan in the Bai family manor.
These are completely two different things.
Not many people dared to arrest Li Tianlan, or were willing to do so, and if they had to offend the Bai family at this time, no one would be willing to do it.
The fact that the Qi family was wiped out was certainly outrageous, and it touched the bottom line of Zhongzhou. After seeing the performance of Fan Tianyin, the Minister of Security, the anger in the hearts of others also dissipated a lot unconsciously.
Fan Tianyin was calm from beginning to end.
He accepted Zhongzhou's order and brought the elite of the Security Department to the Bai Family Manor.
Then?
Then there is no more.
Qi Mulin was the deputy director of the Ministry of Security. When he was killed, he was also slapped in the face of the Ministry of Security. However, Fan Tianyin was not unhappy at all. He made it clear that he was unwilling to rush to arrest people. He was like this, and everyone else
Even more cautious.
No one intended to offend the Bai family.
No one dares to offend Li Tianlan.
The tragic fate of the Qi family is vivid in our eyes. Li Tianlan is a complete lunatic. He dared to kill Qi Mulin, which really pissed him off. Why didn't he dare to kill others?
Qi Mulin has already been killed, and if he kills one or two more people with similar positions to Qi Mulin, how serious can the crime be?
Therefore, the elites of all the organizations were concentrated near Qingshan, but they were unwilling to step into the Bai family manor. The leaders gathered together to discuss and finally decided to invite Hua Qingfeng over.
Hua Qingfeng is the chief of staff of the Snow Dance Corps. He fought side by side with Li Tianlan in Eastern Europe. With this friendship, having him visit would at least provide room for relaxation.
Hua Qingfeng was undoubtedly annoyed, but he also knew that such a stalemate was not the answer, and this so-called arrest at least left a certain amount of leeway. After hesitating for a while, he finally walked into the Bai family manor.
“What does Parliament mean?”
Li Tianlan stood up from the dining table, wiped the corners of his mouth with the napkin, and said with a smile: "Where do you want to catch me? Or do you want to kill me directly?"
"No."
Hua Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "The council wants us to invite you to the Hidden Dragon Sea Conference Room if Your Highness doesn't resist."
If you resist, then of course there is nothing to say and you will just be killed.
This kind of arrest operation that leaves a lot of room for arrest also tells all the agencies involved in the arrest a message. Although this matter is now a big deal, Zhongzhou's response seems tough, but in fact, Zhongzhou is still
Haven't made up my mind.
If Li Tianlan didn't resist, he would directly invite him to Hidden Dragon Sea. This attitude was enough to explain the problem, and at least it proved that Li Tianlan had the possibility of escaping from this incident.
Major institutions that have grasped this point are even more reluctant to offend Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan squinted his eyes, nodded and said, "In that case, let's go."
He stretched out his hands and handed them to Hua Qingfeng, half-smiling but not smiling: "Do you want to cuff it for me?"
Hua Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said awkwardly: "Your Highness is joking."
He turned slightly sideways and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please."
Li Tianlan turned around and his eyes fell on Bai Qingqian.
Bai Qingqian was also looking at him, her eyes soft and full of complexity.
Li Tianlan subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze and said dryly: "Auntie, I'm going to go for a while."
Bai Qingqian was silent for a while and nodded.
"Let's go there too."
Bai Zhanfang put down his bowl and chopsticks and glanced at Dongcheng Wudi.
One of them is a director of Zhongzhou and the other is a councilor of Zhongzhou. Naturally, they will also participate in the next meeting.
Dongcheng Wudi nodded and said calmly: "Okay."
Li Tianlan said no more and followed Hua Qingfeng out directly.
A black Audi was parked outside the villa. When Li Tianlan came out, the driver had already jogged and opened the door for Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan sat in the car, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and rested.
The vehicle slowly left the manor and left Qingshan. A little further away, the elites of the major organizations breathed a sigh of relief and began to retreat silently.
7:15 am.
The black Audi slowly parked in front of the Yinlonghai conference room.
Li Tianlan got out of the car and looked at the Zhongzhou flag standing in front of the conference room, his expression becoming more and more indifferent.
"Your Highness."
Hua Qingfeng followed Li Tianlan, but hesitated to speak.
"how?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"fine."
Hua Qingfeng forced a smile and said bravely: "I will accompany His Highness in."
Li Tianlan did not aggressively ask Hua Qingfeng what he meant by accompanying him into the conference room. He just said yes and strode into the conference room.
The conference room that had just ended was filled with people again.
All members of Central Continent.
All nine directors are present.
Only the position of Gu Xingyun is empty.
Li Tianlan glanced at the senior officials of Zhongzhou in the conference room without saying a word. His eyes fell on Li Huacheng's face and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"Comrade Li Tianlan."
Li Huacheng's deep voice sounded, and his address was very formal: "We came to you because we need to confirm, where were you from about 3:15 to 3:50 last night?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Tianlan's young and somewhat exaggerated face.
Li Tianlan laughed, plainly, casually and carelessly.
"I'm on Rosewood Street."
He walked forward slowly and entered the conference room.
The senior executives in the conference room seemed to be shocked. No one expected that Li Tianlan's answer would be so straightforward.
"What are you doing on Rosewood Street?"
Li Huacheng looked at him with no expression on his face.
"Just wandering around and killing some people along the way."
Li Tianlan approached the conference table.
"stop!"
One council member stood up nervously, looked at Li Tianlan who was getting closer and said in a deep voice.
Li Tianlan glanced at him without stopping at all.
"Kill some people..."
Li Huacheng narrowed his eyes: "So, Comrade Qi Mulin's family of nineteen members were exterminated, and it was you who did it?"
Li Tianlan walked into the conference table, pulled up a chair and sat down.
He looked at Li Huacheng and said calmly: "I killed them, what do you want?"
No one spoke.
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
Chen Fangqing's face twitched and did not speak.
The eyes of the two directors and several members of the Southeast Group suddenly became gloomy.
It's not because of Li Tianlan's answer.
It's because of his current position.
When he personally admitted that he had killed the Qi family, he was already sitting directly opposite Li Huacheng.
For a rectangular conference table, this position cannot be regarded as the end.
He was face to face with Li Huacheng, and it was difficult to tell which of the two positions was the main one.
Everyone looked at Li Tianlan sitting there with complicated expressions.
Because this position has an owner.
For many years before, there were only two people sitting at both ends of this conference table.
At one end is the president.
At one end is the Sword King.
And today, the president still sits at one end of the conference table.
On the other side was the young and unbelievable Donghuang.
Li Tianlan sat there quietly, with a calm expression, watching the entire audience. In the silence, his voice slowly sounded, extremely domineering and arrogant.
