"Master Ke... I have something to say, I have something to say... I... I don't remember that I have offended you. If I did something wrong, I apologize, I make amends..."
Ruburt groaned in pain.
"Offend me? If you offend me, it's just a trivial matter. The key point is that you have offended Grandmaster Li."
"Grandmaster Li?"
Lu Bai was a little confused: "Grandmaster Li, I don't know him...misunderstanding, Master Ke, this is a misunderstanding..."
"Soon you will know if there is a misunderstanding. Take him to the Green Pavilion and hang out for the night before we talk."
Green Pavilion, Grandmaster Li...
The surname is Li...
Li Qiuxian?
When the two were combined, Ruburt's brain exploded and he understood.
…
"what to do?"
The remaining three people saw Ruburt being taken away and panicked for a moment.
"Quick, quick, call Secretary Lu!"
One of them reacted quickly and shouted quickly.
but……
The remaining two did nothing.
Who just came forward to take away Ruburt?
Kirk!
The second member of the younger generation of the Ke family, the Ke family is the uncrowned king of Shire City and has unparalleled influence in the Shire. Among them, the old man of the Ke family is one of the only nine great nobles in the Shire Kingdom.
The aristocratic council has a great say in the matter. It is said that Mayor Qiao was able to take office smoothly this time because of the support of the Ke family.
Ruburt couldn't be more awesome...
No matter how great Ruburt's father is, he is nothing more than Mayor Qiao's secretary. Mayor Qiao has to look at the Ke family's face to act, let alone his secretary?
Therefore, these two people chose to protect themselves wisely.
…
"Master Ke, I really didn't know that Mr. Li was your friend. If I knew...give me a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him..."
In the car, Ruburt ignored the severe pain and kept begging.
"It seems you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. Secretary Lu really has a good son."
Kirk sneered and dialed a phone number. Soon, a cheerful voice came from the phone: "It's Kirk. What's wrong with calling me so late?"
"Mr. Qiao."
Although Kirk was born in the Ke family, he still did not dare to be presumptuous about Viscount Qiao Sansi who also had great influence in the Shire on the phone. His tone was slightly respectful: "If it was just my business, I would naturally not dare to bother him.
Mr. Qiao, but...this matter involves Grandmaster Li and Second Uncle Qiao, so I think it is necessary to talk to Mr. Qiao."
"Grandmaster Li?"
On the phone, Qiao Sansi's voice suddenly became more solemn: "What's the matter, tell me."
"Second Uncle Qiao's secretary is Lu Yu, right?"
"Yes, I have also met a very capable young man. Is the matter related to him?"
Qiao Sansi's voice came from the phone, and he could faintly hear his instructions to summon his second son.
Ruburt on the side heard that Kirk actually called Qiao Sansi, the old man of the Qiao family, and Lu Bai's father was following Qiao Sansi, the second son of the Qiao family. Finally, he couldn't help showing a look of horror in his eyes.
He quickly shouted: "Master Ke, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. If you want to beat or punish me, I will accept it. Don't... please don't involve my dad in this matter..."
"Shut him up!"
Kirk gave instructions to the people around him, and soon someone sealed Ruburt's mouth, leaving only his terrified "Woo" sound.
Qiao Sansi on the phone heard what was going on here, but he pretended not to hear it and listened quietly to Kirk's report on the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Soon, Kirk had already stated what happened. At the end, he said directly: "I believe Mr. Qiao also knows the character of Grandmaster Li. Except for things related to martial arts, he is definitely not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble. I don't need to elaborate on this."
He said that although Uncle Qiao is currently on the rise, there must still be many people who are not willing to wait for Uncle Qiao to make a mistake. I believe in Uncle Qiao himself, but I can’t stand the thought of someone using the people around him as an excuse to attack him.
It would be bad if this kind of thing is not handled well and affects Uncle Qiao's career. Therefore, Uncle Qiao had better use some courage to rectify some people with bad character and domineering behavior. What do you think?
Right?"
"I understand... The second brother has just taken office. He is striving for stability, so he temporarily turns a blind eye to some trivial matters, but... since he is in his position, he must serve the people of our Shire City.
The people must do some meritorious deeds, otherwise I won’t be able to accommodate this kind of people who are just sitting there and eating nothing! I think the first step is to fight against corruption, and I will personally supervise this matter when the time comes!”
"With the old man coming forward, I can sit back and relax. The United Front Work Department, Military Region, Organization Department, and Discipline Inspection Commission will all cooperate with Uncle Qiao's work."
Kirk said, said hello politely, and hung up the phone.
Ruburt, who had listened to the entire conversation between Kirk and Qiao Sansi, had despair in his eyes.
It’s over!
He understood that his biggest supporter was completely destroyed!
How powerful will the Ke family and the Qiao family be if they join forces?
Not to mention that Lu Yu was just a secretary, even at the level of secretary-general, there would be no chance of survival under such thunder and anger.
That night, Lu Yu was taken away without receiving any specific information. Immediately afterwards, a series of corruption cases related to him were uncovered, directly bringing Lu Yu, who had recently become the top secret official, into the spotlight.
The secretary was pressed into the dust and mud.
Even after all his positions were removed, he didn't know who he had offended.
It wasn't until the next day that he finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.
He had naturally heard a thing or two about Li Qiuxian, but because Li Qiuxian was a big shot in the martial arts circle, and his son had graduated a long time ago and was not active around Shire University at all, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But he didn't expect that just because of his negligence, his son would cause him great disaster and directly bring him disaster.
For a moment, I even wanted to strangle my biological son to death.
pity……
He doesn't have this chance anymore.
Not only him, Ruburt also lost this opportunity.
…
Li Qiuxian had no idea what drastic changes had taken place in the officialdom of Shire City last night.
It's as if he only beats people and never collects the corpses.
He never paid attention to trivial things.
However, he was a little surprised when he saw Lu Bai, who was tied and hanging from a tree not far from the Green Pavilion.
"Grandmaster Li."
Kirk, who was leading more than a dozen people, immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"What are you..."
"In case he runs away, it's more reliable to tie him up."
Kirk smiled apologetically.
Lu Bai, who was tied to a tree and was full of despair, quickly shouted after seeing Li Qiuxian: "No! Mr. Li, I was wrong, please spare us..."
The voice was filled with tears of regret.
Thinking of how their family had gone from heaven to hell in just twenty-four hours, all because he had offended the boy in front of him who clearly looked like a student, his heart bleeds in pain.
"them?"
"Hey, Grandmaster Li, this family is extremely evil. Over the years, they have relied on their own power to dominate and bring good fortune. Not to mention his father, this Ruburt probably has two lives in his body. At present,
We are collecting evidence, and he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison."
Kirk said, and at the end, he quickly added: "Of course, if Grandmaster Li is not satisfied, it is not a big deal to kill him personally. The worst is to publicize suicide in fear of crime."
"Need not."
Li Qiuxian said: "Just deal with it how you want to deal with it... Since he broke his promise and let me go, and doesn't regard other people's time as time, then it is a good choice to let him spend his own time in prison.
.”
"I understand, then life imprisonment."
"I thought he could call some top experts?"
Li Qiuxian looked at Lu Bo who was hanging on the tree and kept pleading.
"Top masters, hey... do they also have this qualification?"
Kirk said disdainfully.
"Just handle things your way, I'm leaving."
Li Qiu Xian Dao.
"Grandmaster Li... When we were investigating this matter, something unexpected happened... The matter may involve one of your roommates..."
"Roommate?"
Li Qiuxian's heart moved: "Matthew?"
Then his eyes fell on Ruburt again.
The aura on his body...
Sure enough, it is somewhat similar to the aura left on Matthew's fiancée Erica.
"How do you plan to solve this matter?"
"The Lu family line is over. You know, this Lu Bai used some means to deceive a daughter of the Mi family into falling in love. As long as we expose the matter between him and the woman named Erica, the Mi family's daughter will fall in love with him."
The young lady will never let him go lightly. As for the one from the Land and Resources Bureau, he cannot withstand the investigation either. The key is... what does your friend mean... if he really has intentions for that Miss Erica...
…As for their family, we naturally have to avoid it…if not…”
Li Qiuxian thought of Matthew Wen's state yesterday. Although he knew the result, out of respect for Matthew Wen, he still called him: "Do you and Erica have feelings for each other?"
At this time, Ma Xiuwen seemed to be still hungover, half asleep, but after hearing Li Qiuxian's inquiry, he still said: "How is it possible? A person who cheated on me and forced me to support their mother and son, how can I
Maybe you have feelings for her?"
"I see."
Li Qiuxian ignored Matthew's somewhat strange article, hung up the phone, turned to Kirk and said: "Follow the law."
"yes."
Kirk responded immediately.
Li Qiuxian nodded and was about to leave.
"Grandmaster Li, I wonder if you are free tonight. My grandpa would like to invite you to my house for dinner. At the same time, I have an item that I would like Grandmaster Li to help identify."
"Identification of items?"
Li Qiuxian feels...
This reason is somewhat familiar...
However, considering that the Ke family had put in a lot of effort regarding Lu Purit's matter, he still said: "I will go over in the evening."
