Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter drinking with the elders
"Hahaha, Xiaofan, don't blame your dad. He did it out of necessity during those few years when he went out. I think if he had some way, he wouldn't leave you here alone."
"I understand what you said. I have never blamed my parents for anything. You know, when I found out that my dad was back, I was so happy. I just felt that no matter how many things I exchanged for me, I
I will never let my parents leave me again."
"What a boy, what a boy."
The old man patted Li Fan's shoulder softly. After speaking, he took out a bottle of wine from under the table and handed it to Li Fan. He said, "Here, open it. I haven't drank it for a long time. I'm happy today. I'll accompany you."
I’ll have two drinks.”
Li Fan took the bottle of wine without any label with a wry smile. He didn't dare to open the wine and let the old man drink it.
Although the old man seemed to be in very good spirits, Li Fan felt that the old man would not be immune to the problem of alcohol harming his body.
"Forget it! The more you drink, the thirstier you become. Just drink some boiled water."
Li Fan was about to put the bottle back, but the old man raised his thick eyebrows: "What? Isn't it enough if I have a glass of wine?"
"Hurry up and drive."
Under the unquestionable voice of the old man, Li Fan still couldn't resist the old man and poured a shallow cup into the cup.
Seeing this, the old man didn't say much.
He knew his physical condition, and he couldn't touch tobacco or alcohol. If he hadn't had a happy chat with Li Fan today, he wouldn't have made fun of his body.
Fortunately, it was this kind of wine specially prepared for him, otherwise the old man would not dare to drink it.
As he sipped the wine bit by bit, the old man's memories also opened up.
This night, for a sleeping person, is very short, and it passes as soon as the eyes open and close.
This night was a long one for Lu Cheng and others waiting outside.
They didn't know what Li Fan and the old man were talking about inside, nor did they know how much time had passed.
They didn't dare to come in and disturb the chat between the old man and Li Fan, nor did they dare to leave casually. A few sleepy and tired people stood outside the door all night until there was a soft click from the door.
Lu Chengcai, who was about to fall asleep while standing outside the door, started to feel excited. He quickly stood up straight and watched eagerly as the door was opened bit by bit.
With Li Fan's help, the two people slowly walked out of the room.
After a night of chatting, Li Fan's energy seemed to be the same as before, and the elder did look a little sleepy.
"Elder, are you okay?"
Liu Hui took the initiative to walk to the right side of the elder and supported the elder who was still not quite awake.
"It's okay, it's okay, I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time."
Shaking his head gently, a warm smile appeared on the elder's face. After drinking a glass of wine last night, the drunken old man fell into a deep sleep, and Li Fan stayed by his side all night.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, the old man who did not think about those troublesome things slept particularly soundly, and now he wakes up and feels much better.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You must remember what I told you last night. Take it easy and don't be too impulsive."
After a few final words of warning to Li Fan, the old man left under the escort of his bodyguards.
Looking at the old man's back, Li Fan suddenly sighed softly for some reason.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." Liu Hui walked up and said to Li Fan.
Li Fan nodded, said goodbye to Lu Cheng, and followed Liu Hui into the car.
"Where's Raphael?"
"I sent him back first. There are some things that are not convenient for him to hear."
Li Fan nodded, already mentally prepared for what Liu Hui was going to say.
"What do I want to tell you? The elder should have told you something last night," Liu Hui asked.
Li Fan shook his head: "No, the elder just told me last night that there was something that needed my help. He didn't say anything else to me. He spent most of the time chatting with me about family matters."
Li Fan told the truth, but Liu Hui looked at Li Fan even more surprised.
Many people can't imagine how precious the elder's time is, but Li Fan is actually worthy of the elder's time to chat about family matters. This is much more surprising to him than directly talking about tasks with Li Fan.
It seems that the relationship between Li Fan and the elder is better than imagined, Liu Hui thought secretly.
Unconsciously, his attitude became better.
Liu Hui lowered his voice and moved slowly: "The Qiu family in Nanjiang is going to hold a martial arts conference recently. Many martial artists have been invited to participate. The higher-ups are worried that something will happen, so they want to send someone over to check on the situation."
"There are so many of you, but you can't send one person to check on the situation?" Li Fan immediately quit.
Liu Hui's people were distributed all over the country, at least thousands of them. With such a huge group of people, he insisted on asking Li Fan to check the situation.
Li Fan, who originally thought something big had happened, immediately became disapproving after hearing that he was just going to see what was going on at a martial arts conference.
After all, martial arts conferences like this are held by various organizations every year, so this is not unusual.
Moreover, the elder didn't tell him what happened last night. Did Liu Hui use chicken feathers as arrows to fool him?
Seeing Li Fan's disapproving expression, Liu Hui was also a little anxious.
He went around in circles to find Li Fan. If it was really that simple to investigate the situation, there would be no need to rush so quickly, but if he was asked to tell him what the dangers were, he really didn't seem to know anything.
After all, it was indeed the elder who assigned him this task, and when he was told to do so, he only said that Li Fan must be allowed to go there, but nothing else was mentioned.
I don’t know why the elder didn’t tell Li Fan last night, but asked him to spend all his time explaining to Li Fan today.
After thinking for a while, Liu Hui explained: "Almost everyone of our people has records in those sects and families, and I can't be sure whether there are people from them among my people. If we send people there ourselves, there is no guarantee that we will not be there."
It will be known in advance, so that the other party can be prepared, so it is best to have someone outside the staff come up with this selection."
Looking at Liu Hui's solemn expression, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little speechless: "Why are you acting so much like Mission: Impossible? Are you inserting chess pieces?"
"It's really Mission Impossible." Liu Hui smiled bitterly: "You have been in this circle for too short a time, and you don't know the situation of domestic martial arts."
"A few years ago, because the superiors were worried that those who practiced martial arts were troublesome and difficult to manage, they began to deliberately control the domestic martial artists, while suppressing the inherited sects and families, and even established a department specifically to manage this area - Daxia Longque
.
Although the effect of such large-scale suppression is significant, the backlash is also staggering."
