When Liu Huan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, saw this scene, he felt like his brain was booming and all sounds were gone.
He could see his son's mouth continuing to say something, and the surrounding relatives were responding, and he already knew in his heart what kind of result he was about to face.
"Son, son! I am your father..."
Liu Zuoxin handled all this indifferently. When he heard his father's words, his body trembled uncontrollably.
He turned around slowly and said in a trembling voice: "When you and Xiao Yue were having fun in the office, do you still remember that I am your son?"
Speaking of this, he could not control his tears and said: "Come here, take Liu Huan back to his room. Until he dies, he will not be allowed to leave the room for even half a step. No one is allowed to visit. No one is allowed to visit."
Give him any network and communication equipment."
In the distance, Li Rui nodded, agreeing with Liu Zuoxin's final decision.
No matter how much this person hates his father, he still cares about blood and family ties.
Although there were many aspects of this young man that he felt were inadequate, his final decision showed that he was still a compassionate and righteous person.
"Look at it more openly. At least you found out everything in advance and didn't regard your future brother as your son."
When Liu Zuoxin heard these unpleasant words, he laughed dryly a few times, cupped his hands to Li Rui and said, "Thank you, senior, for your enlightenment."
…
Tens of minutes later, Li Rui followed Liu Zuoxin to the darkroom wine cellar where the Liu family had been making wine for many years.
"Where is your Liu family's treasure house?"
Li Rui asked curiously. He tasted the smell in the air carefully and found that there were some pretty good medicinal wines brewed here.
Liu Zuoxin nodded and said, "Senior, follow me."
He stood under a wall and took five consecutive photos of a certain location on the wall. The huge wine barrel behind him moved a certain distance, and a stone step appeared in front of him.
The icy cold breath hit my face along with the rich medicinal fragrance, and there was actually a faint sweetness in the air.
"This smell...is Po Ice Lotus!" Li Rui's eyes lit up, he took Yasha's hand and headed to the underground darkroom ahead of Liu Zuoxin.
The Liu family is indeed a family that specializes in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, and their ancestors were also born in the medicinal materials business.
This secret room is extremely spacious, and the various shelves look very chronological. There are wooden boxes or jade boxes everywhere, containing precious herbs.
Li Rui's goal was not to store things that were carefully stored, but to follow the feeling of coolness and run directly to the deepest place.
A jade box half a meter long and twenty centimeters wide was placed on a wooden shelf. The wooden shelf was covered with ice flowers and there were sharp ice teeth on the top.
After Liu Zuoxin caught up with Li Rui, he quickly flattered him and said, "Senior has a good eye. This is what I said before, the real treasure of the Liu family."
When the stick didn't come, Ye Bu tried his best to prepare compensation items, but never thought of giving away the herb, but Liu Zuoxin dared to do so.
Li Rui looked back at him and said, "Any fool can see that this herb in this room is extraordinary."
Liu Zuoxin showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
There's nothing wrong with that. Plants that can emit chills are good things, even fools know.
Yasha next to her felt the slightest chill and asked: "Master, are you using this to cultivate the power of ice attributes?"
She has been with Li Rui for so long, and although she has not started practicing, she is no longer a novice who knows nothing.
Because the martial arts mark she obtained is more core than Tang Xin's, she is very familiar with some of the essentials and training requirements of the Jiuji Body Refining Art.
Li Rui shook his head. Yasha didn't know that outsiders couldn't talk about spiritual practice, so he didn't blame him. He could just explain it later.
He carefully opened the jade box and said, "A cold air rushed straight to my face."
Liu Zuoxin, who was next to him, couldn't avoid it and his eyes were almost frozen.
"It's so cold!" It's already autumn, and everyone is wearing long sleeves or jackets. Liu Zuoxin has two pieces of clothing on him, but they can't block the sudden coldness of the air.
In the jade box, a bright green plant with flowers like snow lotus, pure blue ice crystals, and leaves like peonies was displayed in front of Li Rui.
Liu Zuoxin was shivering from the cold. Looking at Li Rui and Yasha's happy faces, he felt that they were not human beings.
"Obviously I am also an ancient warrior, why are they not afraid of the cold at all?"
Liu Zuoxin almost didn't curse. He also had the strength of the early stage of Anjin. He had a small amount of internal force in his body, and he would not freeze like this even in a zero-degree environment. This is enough to show the extent of Qiwen at this time.
"It is indeed the Po Ice Lotus." Li Rui couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The best elixir he had ever encountered on earth was actually from such a small family.
Of course, he had not encountered many true elixirs. The highest-grade one was naturally the Po Ice Lotus, followed by the Xinghua Grass on the top of the unknown mountain in the southern suburbs.
Li Rui checked in the basement and found that he had taken away several older herbs and another spiritual herb of average value, so he stopped taking them.
"These medicinal plants belong to me, and the debts of our two families have been written off. If you want to continue the medicinal business in the future, you can contact Su Xiangrong, but this time, you should not dare to fool us with fake medicines again, right?"
Liu Zuoxin bowed resolutely and said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare. Our Tianyao Group has the world's leading connections and resources, and we guarantee to give you the best service."
When Li Rui heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.
This is a very real problem. Although they have betrayed their trust once, their resources are still not replaceable by the Su family. The many herbs in their secret room also illustrate this point.
When we first arrived outdoors, people around us looked serious. A young man ran over and said nervously: "Brother, something bad has happened. Many soldiers rushed in. Could it be related to that stick?"
Liu Zuoxin's expression changed, and he glanced at Li Rui secretly, feeling in his heart that Li Rui would not help him.
"Go over and take a look!" Li Rui suddenly said.
Liu Zuoxin felt uneasy, but he still followed his cousin and walked towards the hall.
When they came here, everyone saw the Liu family standing there and not daring to move. A group of guys in military uniforms stood in two rows holding machine guns.
When Liu Zuoxin saw that the other party had brought all the money, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Just when he didn't know how to respond, a man strolled over and saluted Li Rui: "Mr. Li, General Yang sent me to pick you up."
"You're not here to find me!" Liu Zuoxin's eyes widened, and the tension in his heart receded like a tide.
Li Rui nodded and followed the officer outside.
Those who survived the disaster in the Liu family realized that these people were not here because of Jin Chengmin, but to pick up Li Rui.
"Damn it, that expert is actually from the military!"
"I was so scared just now that I couldn't breathe."
"Damn it, that bastard Liu Huan, luckily he didn't become the head of the family. He didn't want to offend anyone, but he offended someone from the military."
In the small courtyard, there were gradually sounds, and the Liu family members who had survived the disaster cursed Liu Huan.
Liu Zuoxin took a deep breath and looked calm, but his back was already soaked with sweat.
On the street, a dark and cool "classic car" parked on the side of the road. Li Rui was about to take Yasha into the car when the officer said, "Mr. Li, where should we send this little sister first?"
"She's with me!" Li Rui responded immediately. Seeing the stunned look on the officer's face, he continued: "Just go back and talk to Yang Chi."
"Sir, I'm afraid this is against the rules, isn't it?" The officer looked embarrassed.
"Then tell Yang Chi, I won't go to training without her," Li Rui said with a smile.
When the officer heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The fact that the man in front of them could call their top boss by his first name meant that he had the right to speak.
After getting in the car, Li Rui wandered all the way to a secret tarmac and boarded a plane bound for the south. Yang Chi also learned of Li Rui's request and agreed to take Yasha with him.
"Two bases, one in the south and one in the north?" He thought to himself. After seeing that there was no one around, he picked up his cell phone and dialed the number.
"Is it Director Gong?" Li Rui asked immediately after getting through the phone call.
Gong Wen on the other end of the phone immediately laughed and said, "Of course it's me! Only I use this number."
Several question marks popped up on Li Rui's head.
This Gong Wen's tone seemed different from what he usually encountered.
Although he was confused, he didn't think too much and said bluntly: "Director Gong, I have a question for you."
The next question may involve some national security issues, and Li Rui has no confidence in whether Gong Wen will have any bad thoughts because of this.
However, now that he had obtained the Po Ice Lotus, he felt that it was a waste of time to build trust like before.
"I knew that you must have something to ask for from me. Please tell me first and listen to it."
During the phone call, Li Rui felt Gong Wen's pleasant tone and felt that it was a good time to ask at this time.
"Director Gong, I actually want to ask you if I can go inside the volcano and have a look next time I go back to Yunshan Base."
When Gong Wen heard this, she suddenly froze in place, and the smile on her face slowly faded.
Indeed, as the person in charge of national security, she knows what her responsibilities are. There are too many secrets in the place where Li Rui is going, and some extremely important information is also stored there.
"Li Rui, before I answer you, please tell me why you went there and how did you enter that volcano?" Gong Wen asked.
Li Rui thought for a while and felt that Gong Wen should not be told about Emperor Huo, otherwise some heads of state behind her or people in Xianshan might also know the news.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I plan to go for a walk under the magma. If you are interested or worried, you can come with me."
If Li Rui found various reasons, Gong Wen might reject her, but when he directly explained his destination and wanted to go with Gong Wen, Gong Wen felt that Li Rui had no evil intentions.
"Okay, when you come back next time, I will take you to visit." Gong Wen's tone became relaxed again.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qing hurried to her side and placed a piece of paper on her table.
Gong Wen glanced, her face changed, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Haha! Li Rui, are you going to train at the Shenlong War Department now? When you return, I will pick you up. Although I don't know what you are going to do there, I will help you keep the secret."
When Li Rui heard Gong Wen's sudden change of attitude, he became uneasy.
"Then it's settled!" His mouth moved. He didn't know what to say, so he decided to settle the matter before talking.
"It's settled! When you come back, I'll take Lu Qing to have dinner with you." After Gong Wen finished speaking with a smile, she hung up the phone directly.
At the desk, Lu Qing looked confused, thinking to herself, why should I take him with me?
She and Gong Wen moved their eyes to the paper, which read: "In the Nanyuan Underground Market, Li Rui fought with Taoist Priest Jingyun of Xianshan Mountain, and Taoist Jingyun suffered internal injuries."
Gong Wen was speechless, feeling her own strength. She had just broken through the realm of martial arts and became a master who was able to avoid danger. Isn't all this due to Li Rui?
