Li Longtu really didn't expect that these people who came to arrest Zheng Wangshu were from the Shangguan Consortium!
This made him have to be vigilant.
He looked at Zheng Wangshu and asked seriously:
"Why is the Zheng family related to the Shangguan Consortium?"
After hearing this, Zheng Wangshu shook his head bitterly and smiled:
"Rather than saying that it is related, it is better to say that the Zheng family is to blame. The Zheng family is one of the shareholders of the Shangguan Consortium..."
"The largest shareholder and holder in this consortium is of course the Shangguan family, followed by the Zheng family. Because the Zheng family has begun to decline in recent years, and it is different from the Shangguan family's shady family philosophy, so the consortium wants to take advantage of this opportunity.
Annexing the Zheng family is also a natural thing."
Li Longtu nodded after listening, finally understanding the whole story.
The Zheng family belongs to the consortium. They used to be very good, but now they are no longer good, the Shangguan family plans to take him over. Zheng Wangshu, the heir to the property, naturally becomes the target of the Shangguan family, who want to use her to get the property of the old man of the Zheng family.
Very good, very reasonable.
Li Longtu suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave. This kind of dispute between wealthy families is really not suitable for ordinary people like him.
So he stood up slowly and sighed.
This is not because he is irresponsible, but mainly because he has no reason or identity to participate in the game between groups.
It's not necessary either.
The relationship between him and Zheng Wangshu is not that deep. Besides, he has rescued him many times today, and he has already exhausted his kindness and righteousness.
But Li Longtu is not the kind of person who sits idly by. Although he will not participate in disputes, whenever Zheng Wangshu is in danger and asks for help, Li Longtu will naturally lend a helping hand.
Zheng Wangshu next to her noticed Li Longtu's micro-expression. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, stirring her fingers. Finally, she looked up at Li Longtu and showed a relieved smile:
"Long Tu, thank you."
Instead of calling him Li Longtu, he called him Longtu, which invisibly brought the distance between the two of them closer.
"You have helped me enough today. I will not force you to help me any more. I will face my own destiny calmly."
Li Longtu nodded, but he had no intention of leaving just like that.
Because an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Instead of relying on Xue Liang's insider to obtain information about the consortium, it would be better to take advantage of Zheng Wangshu's opportunity to give their so-called consortium a bit of a look.
As soon as this idea came out, Li Longtu couldn't sit still.
He is a man with a complex personality.
Normally he keeps to himself, but once someone is secretly thinking about him, he has to find a way to stir up trouble.
If you dare to miss me, I will make your life miserable.
So Li Longtu touched his chin, looked at Zheng Wangshu with burning eyes and said:
"Do you know anyone from the Shangguan Consortium?"
Zheng Wangshu felt a little uneasy because of his unwarranted gaze. He leaned back and swallowed, "I recognize you. What's wrong?"
"The one with a higher position in the consortium?"
"I know, there is a person I am very familiar with...that person..."
Li Longtu saw that Zheng Wangshu, who had always been as proud as a white swan, suddenly hesitated, as if he had something to hide, so he said carelessly:
"We have a close friendship now. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."
"That person actually...is actually thinking about my Zheng family. He openly made friends with my Zheng family, helped me, and even showed favor to me and pursued me. But in fact, the person who came to hunt me tonight...
He probably arranged it too..."
When Li Longtu heard this, he sneered:
"Does this person have a split personality? But think about it, he deserves it no matter what. If the assassination is successful, then the Zheng family will lack an heir. If, I mean if, he has gained your trust and has feelings for you.
, he will naturally have a chance to obtain property."
After hearing this, Zheng Wangshu shook his head firmly:
"I will not become anyone's vassal, let alone have any feelings for that person."
She spoke very firmly, and Li Longtu could feel it.
So he looked at the time and said:
"It's getting late. You should rest first. We will set off directly back to Lianzhou City tomorrow morning."
"ah?"
Zheng Wangshu was a little confused.
Her brain couldn't keep up with the workings of Li Longtu's brain.
"I've never been one to sit still and wait for death."
Li Longtu waved his hand, walked to the window, opened the window and lit a cigarette, letting the smoke disperse from the window.
"you mean……"
Zheng Wangshu felt as if he had guessed what Li Longtu was thinking.
"Go back to Lianzhou City tomorrow and visit the person you mentioned."
"This... Li Longtu, I know how powerful you are, but it's really unrealistic to go directly to that person. Not to mention that his home is heavily guarded, and there is an old monster with great wisdom and almost a demon next to that person."
"oh?"
If you say that, I'll be interested.
"Tell me, how powerful is that monster?"
"I heard that he is an immortal cultivator." Zheng Wangshu didn't believe it either, but the rumors said so, even his father was very sure.
"Cultivation?" Li Longtu smiled.
After returning to the north for so long, this is the first time I heard of the existence of immortal cultivators.
Although China has a vast land, rich resources, and outstanding people, it is impossible that he, a novice in the early stage of Qi training, could hide a powerful person, but he did not expect that there is such a person in Lianzhou City, and he did not even discover it.
Yes, after all, he is a member of the consortium. He is in a high position and is not exposed to the cold at the top. How can a common man like me encounter him?
This time, he was even more interested.
So he took two puffs of cigarette:
"Go to bed early. Whether it's a mule or a horse, everything will be revealed tomorrow."
Zheng Wangshu sighed. She knew that she would definitely not be able to persuade Li Longtu, but what should she do next?
Do you really want to take him to the Shangguan family tomorrow?
Just when she was struggling, the knock on the door rang again.
Both of them were stunned.
Could it be that the people from the consortium are chasing us again?
Li Longtu squinted his eyes. It shouldn't be. Normally no one would notice things like darkness under the lamp.
Just as the two looked at each other, a slight voice came from outside the door:
"Miss, I am Lao Huang. The master of the house sent me to take you back."
Li Longtu frowned and looked at Zheng Wangshu.
"She's my father's personal bodyguard. It's okay." Zheng Wangshu's eyes flashed with joy, but it was more of a tangle. She stepped forward and opened the door.
The door opened, and an old man in his 60s with a stooped figure but bright eyes walked in. He first bowed and nodded towards Zheng Wangshu, and then turned his eyes to Li Longtu:
"Miss, who is this?"
"His name is Li Longtu. He is my high school classmate. I was chased by people from the consortium just now. It was you who protected me and escorted me here."
"Huh?" Even though the eldest lady said this, there was still a trace of suspicion in Lao Huang's eyes, "Miss, you didn't want to find such a young man as a shield to avoid the arrangement given to you by the head of the family, right?
