There was silence for a long time before anyone spoke.
"It's really hard to say. There's been too little news recently. Originally, we had placed so many informants around her. Even if she hid in the study every day, we would be able to know something... But what exactly is she doing recently?
I really don’t know what to do.”
A fat middle-aged man said with emotion that he was Li Qing's second uncle.
"Not only that, what's that investment plan of hers? At first, I thought it was a business where money is rolling in and profits are rolling in, and you can make a profit without losing money. Now I know it's that poisonous... Hey, there are always people looking for me recently.
Drinking flower wine, but damn, I don’t even have the money to go out and visit the brothels.”
"That's right, it's impossible to be greedy for money now!"
…
Everyone was scolding Li Lanbing for his evil deeds, and there was absolutely no respect for the current head of the family in their words.
As the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot work together. In their eyes, Li Lanbing has become the incarnation of the devil.
In the past few days, they realized something was wrong.
In terms of manpower, the informants who have been deployed have not sent back any information recently. They are either saying that they want to learn new knowledge, or they have simply lost contact.
Not to mention funds, the money they originally used to have fun and win over people was almost all taken from the Li family's property.
However, now that the property has become transparent, they can no longer continue to embezzle the Li family's property.
Li Qing, who was sitting in the middle, felt annoyed as he listened to everyone's words. He frowned and looked around at the talkative people.
"Eh!"
He suddenly let out a light sigh and glanced at Li Xiao with burning eyes.
Everyone's mood was extremely unstable, and Li Xiao looked very different at this moment. He said nothing, stood alone in the corner with his head lowered, looking a little sneaky.
"Ahem!"
Li Qing pretended to cough, and then said under the gaze of everyone: "Manager Li, what do you think or what countermeasures do you have for what everyone just said?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xiao, but Li Xiao was still so silent, like a wooden man, as if all the sounds did not enter his ears.
It wasn't until a young servant stabbed Li Xiao with his hand that he came back to his senses.
"ah!"
The dull Li Xiao suddenly let out a strange cry, as sharp as a female soprano, which almost pierced everyone's eardrums.
He was stunned for a moment and then looked around in panic, but everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he didn't know what happened.
"Ahem..."
Li Qing coughed again to attract everyone's attention, and then repeated the question just now.
"Manager Li, what do you think or what countermeasures do you have for what everyone has said?"
Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally knowing who was asking him questions, but what the hell did these people say just now?
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "To answer the young master's question, I recently caught a cold and took a leave of absence for a few days. I have almost no way of knowing what happened in the house. So..."
Li Qing waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything more. But at this moment, his doubts about Li Xiao became even deeper.
Although he had already heard the report about Li Xiao contracting the cold, but his voice had become so masculine and masculine, then the cold must be too serious!
It's suspicious, it's really suspicious. A martial artist in the martial arts realm can catch a cold. Is he really a fool in front of everyone?
Li Qing was about to ask again when a hoarse voice sounded.
"Manager Li has worked so hard for us, so you should take good care of yourself. When things get better, you must go to my place to get some good things to nourish yourself."
Not far away, a haggard old man, supported by a middle-aged man, walked steadily towards the crowd.
Everyone stood up respectfully, and even Li Qing, who was accustomed to setting scores, did not dare to show any signs of neglect.
He walked forward quickly and helped usher the old man to the center seat, while he stood on the right side of the old man, waiting for the old man's instructions with a smile on his face.
"Qing'er, I've also heard about recent events. To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied with your performance this time..."
"Generally speaking, if the enemy does not move, I will not move. This is the best policy. But if the enemy moves and you do not move, this is the worst policy..."
"Remember, even if it seems that the enemy's movements can't disturb you, you can't relax. Maybe when she seizes the opportunity, she can bite you hard."
Li Qing nodded fiercely and said, "I understand, kid."
Li Qingdi's attitude was very respectful, but what no one knew was that at this moment, his hatred for the old man was about to reach its breaking point. If he hadn't relied on the old man, he might have had an attack now.
"If you endure today, the Li family will be mine. Those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. Old guy, you should die too." Li Qing cursed in his heart.
The old man didn't know what Li Qing was thinking. He just looked at Li Qing's submissive look, and the pride in his heart was revealed on his wrinkled old face.
"Haha, young people should guard against arrogance and impatience. I have to say that that girl Lan Bing did a really good job with these moves..."
"But, everything will become our stepping stone. You didn't do well when I asked you to pursue Lan Bing before, so let's have a forced marriage today. If she agrees, then everyone is fine. If she doesn't agree, then you can
……Why!"
Li Qing's eyebrows rose with joy. He was extremely excited when he heard the word forced marriage.
You must know that he has been coveting Li Lanbing for a long time. How wonderful it would be if he could get a pretty woman like Li Lanbing while getting the Li family!
"If I want to return the stone to make an offering, I've already prepared it. She has to agree even if she doesn't agree today."
"Um!"
The old man nodded with a smile, but the next moment he suddenly frowned and asked again: "How was the matter about your fiancée resolved?"
"this?"
Li Qing frowned in pain. He had too many thoughts about Xiao Yuxuan, a fiancée who suddenly appeared and was extremely beautiful, with beauty comparable to that of Li Lanbing.
He really wanted to follow the trend and bring Xiao Yuxuan into the room.
However, in order to marry Li Lanbing, the old man in front of him actually asked him to give up this beautiful woman who fell from the sky. This made him feel distressed.
Li Qing sighed and said truthfully: "She and I just met once and didn't talk about that aspect."
The old man looked unhappy and lectured: "Qing'er, your overall view is still too shallow. Although that woman is beautiful, what can an ordinary woman bring to you? Can she bring you the Li family?"
"After you get the Li family, what kind of woman can't get you who is rich and powerful..."
"Be sure to cancel the marriage there before forcing Lan Bingwa'er to marry her."
