Chapter 2218 Aiming at the Prey
Lu Chengwen didn't expect that Jiang Shihhan also had something on her mind.
He sighed deeply: "I'll talk to her."
Leng Qingqiu sensed something was wrong; Lu Chengwen was very sad, extremely sad.
But he was suppressing his sadness and trying hard not to let others see it.
"Cheng Wen, what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong."
No, you have something on your mind.
Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu for a long time, touched her hair, and suddenly said sadly, "I lost a child."
Leng Qingqiu was extremely surprised: "What happened?!"
Lu Chengwen gave a bitter smile, a smile that made Leng Qingqiu feel sorry for him.
Seeing the man's eyes redden, Leng Qingqiu knew that this was a huge blow to him.
"A feud in the martial arts world, she encountered a bad guy, kicked her in the stomach, and then..."
Lu Chengwen couldn't continue speaking.
Leng Qingqiu held Lu Chengwen's hand: "Chengwen, there will be more, believe me."
"I know. I am..."
Lu Chengwen tried to compose himself: "Just now there was... hope, and then I didn't even know what was wrong with the child... I didn't know if I could do a good job... and then suddenly..."
Leng Qingqiu hugged Lu Chengwen: "You've worked so hard."
Lu Chengwen hugged Leng Qingqiu and found himself trembling.
The thought of that child filled Lu Chengwen with sadness and grief.
Shan Jianqing is dead.
What else can we do?
Leng Qingqiu was also very sad.
Lu Chengwen has really been having a run of bad luck lately.
Losing a child, having his younger brother detained abroad, and having to personally return to suppress the rebellion of four powerful figures within his company... Anyone would feel pain and frustration in these situations.
But Lu Chengwen appeared outwardly radiant and even beaming. No one knew the immense pain and torment he endured inside.
……
in the office.
Lu Chengwen and Jiang Shihhan are currently... well, you know.
After a while, Lu Chengwen helped Jiang Shihhan up.
Jiang Shih-han was taken aback: "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
Lu Chengwen shook his head: "You have something on your mind."
Jiang Shih-Han was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, that's not true!"
Yes. Say it.
Jiang Shih-han was a little embarrassed.
"Just tell me, I'm tired, don't make me keep asking."
“My mother has changed a lot recently.”
"Your mother?"
"Ah."
Jiang Shihhan said, "Ever since she found out that I was with you, she has been very proud and has been bragging about it everywhere. In addition, I have made some money, moved into a big house, and lived a wealthy life. Many relatives and old neighbors have come to my door, some to borrow money, some to ask for things, and some even insist on working for Dasheng Group."
“My mom agrees to everything, but then she makes me do this and that, and now she’s getting more and more unreasonable. Her demands are getting more and more outrageous.”
“I don’t want to disappoint you, but Mom’s health isn’t good, and I’m afraid of upsetting her and causing her condition to relapse… I…”
Lu Chengwen smiled.
"I didn't think it was a big deal." Lu Chengwen pulled her up and hugged her. "Now that you've made it big, it's okay to give some benefits to your relatives and friends. But you can't give to everyone, and you can't indulge them without limits. Discipline a few, elevate a few, and let them clearly know who's in charge. You've been with me for so long, do you need to teach me this?"
“I know…but…Mom…always sides with outsiders.”
I'll go see her this afternoon.
"Oh? No, thank you. You're so busy, I don't want to take up your time..."
"Then let's take some time out of our lovey-dovey moments to visit Mom."
"No!" Jiang Shih-han was extremely aggrieved: "I...I can handle it myself, I want to be in love."
"Hahaha……"
……
Jiang Shih-han's problem is easy to handle. No further explanation needed.
The next day, Lu Chengwen took Hua Xuening and Zhuge Xiaohua to Seven Star Peak.
at the same time.
Xiao Chongshan, accompanied by two guards, watched as Lu Chengwen and the others got into the car, while Zhao Gang and his men carried things into the car.
One of the guards said, "Little Elder, can the three of us really kill Lu Chengwen? He... even defeated Elder Shan Jianqing."
Xiao Chongshan said with a gloomy face, "That's because he broke some kind of seal, Li Dabai's. Now that Li Dabai isn't here, who broke the seal for him?"
"Oh. Then... what about the Jiang family..."
"The Jiang family, humph." Xiao Chongshan said, "Lu Chengwen disrespected the Elders' Council and publicly killed my elder brother Shan Jianqing. I will never go back until this hatred is gone! What can the Jiang family do to me? A mere rebel from the Four Gates..."
Xiao Chongshan gritted his teeth: "He has made the Elders' Council lose so much face. If we don't kill him, the Elders' Council will be finished!"
"They drove off."
"Follow."
……
the other side.
A group of people stood on a mountain peak in a good vantage point, looking down.
"General Zuo, it seems to be Lu Chengwen."
General Zuo said sternly, "Lu Chengwen...we can deal with him next time. This time, we only need to kill the young master."
"Yes!"
General Zuo turned around and faced the experts behind him: "Long Aotian's threat is growing. We can't treat him like an ordinary member of the Four Gates of Rebellion; we have to see him as someone at the Gateless Realm, just like you. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" One of them hesitated for a moment: "General Zuo, the Thirteenth Young Master has made no contribution in over a year and has even caused the organization to lose a lot of funds. Is he still a threat?"
"madness!"
General Zuo sneered, then continued, "He has now become a disciple of Hun Tiangang, befriended the Five Elders, and moves effortlessly between the four great families. He is currently with Lu Chengwen and Zhao Ritian. On the surface, it seems that Lu Chengwen is stirring up trouble, but behind the scenes, it must be the young master who is strategizing!"
"Those losses were bizarre and outrageous. It's as if he had been planning this all along, collaborating with Lu Chengwen to funnel internal funds to Lu Chengwen, who then invested and built the project. Lu Chengwen was just a front man, doing the work for him. All the funds in the Northern Kingdom were revolving around the project developed with these funds, and all resources, materials, and construction teams were pouring into Snow City... Do you really think it's that simple?"
“Long Aotian…is meticulous and resourceful. From the very beginning, he never intended to create a money bag for the organization. He was creating a money bag for himself.”
General Zuo sighed: "Since he has such ambition and strategy, then that lord cannot let him live."
"What about His Majesty..."
General Zuo smiled slightly: "His Majesty is very pragmatic. With Long Aotian dead, his first thought will definitely be to change the situation and stabilize the overall power dynamics. He won't pursue the matter further. In short, we must strike decisively and kill Long Aotian! We must completely eliminate any potential threat!"
"Yes!"
……
Long Aotian was dressed in a denim outfit and wearing sunglasses.
An SUV was parked in the mud.
He was by the river, a pair of stylish Doc Martens perched on the footstools in front of him, half-reclining and enjoying the sunshine and the pleasure of fishing.
Suddenly, the swim bladder moved.
Long Aotian was not in a hurry and smiled slightly: "The prey that I, Long Aotian, have set my sights on cannot escape."
