Chapter 147: The Prologue to the Ore Vein Controversy
"Brother Zhao, don't be in a hurry. ”
Feeling that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, Ye Chen first spoke to stabilize Zhao Ri, and then pondered for a while and said: "This behavior of the Cha family is indeed very surprising, it seems that we have to plan again." ”
"It's not just an accident!" Zhao Ri was not as calm as Ye Chen, and when he heard that the Cha and Lan families did not fight, but there were signs of joining forces, he was so anxious that the top of his head was about to smoke.
"Brother Ye, we don't have much time, ten years ago, the Cha family won the ten-year mining right of the northern suburbs, relying on the mining of rare metal ores in it, and became the strongest force in Tanglin, and now, there is less than a month left before the Cha family's ten-year term of the vein mining right!
Hearing Zhao Ri's words, Ye Chen's brows also furrowed deeper, how could he not know about this matter, what the current situation is, he knows better than Zhao Ri.
The reason why the Ye family chose to cooperate with the Zhao family was because Ye Chen understood that it was impossible for his family to eat a new round of ore vein mining rights alone.
Moreover, even if the two families are united, in the face of the current Cha family, the chances of winning are very slim, so they have to rely on another century-old family and the Lan family to drag down the Cha family, and it is best to involve hundreds of forces of all sizes in Shanglin to completely mess up the situation, so that they can have the opportunity to work together to seize a new round of ore vein mining rights.
But at the moment, the plan did not go as they wished, but the situation became a little dangerous, Ye Chen also had to wonder, will the Cha family also want to make friends with the Lan family for the time being for a new round of ore vein mining rights?
It's just that the two families have been grudges for ten years, and the hatred has long been carved into the bones.
Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth lifted a sinister smile again, and his frowning brows also relaxed.
He poured a cup of tea for Zhao Ri unhurriedly, and then said unhurriedly: "Brother Zhao, come, drink some water first, don't be so anxious, listen to my next plan?"
Zhao Ri was slightly stunned when he saw Ye Chen, who had calmed down, and his son Zhao Tian, who was sitting next to him, also touched him from under the table at this time and gave him a look.
Zhao Ri calmed down at this time, picked up the teacup and drank all the water inside, wiped his mouth again, and wiped off the water that overflowed from the corners of his mouth because of the urgency of drinking.
"Okay, it seems that Brother Ye has another trick, you say, I'll listen. ”
Smack
Ye Chen shook off the folding fan with one hand, shook it lightly, and said with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth: "As far as I know, among the current juniors of the Cha family, there are two brothers, the eldest young Cha Xiang and the second young Cha Long. ”
"Cha Chuanzong is old, although he is still in charge of the overall situation of the Cha family, but he has long stopped interfering in the big and small matters under his hands, and his son died in an accident in the early years, so
The Cha family is now, in fact, his two grandsons are sharing their own power. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ri began to lose his breath again, scratching his ears and cheeks: "Oh, Brother Ye, you are in a hurry to kill me, I also know these things, you quickly say what we should do next." ”
"Don't be in a hurry. Ye Chen smiled and fanned the fan in his hand twice towards Zhao Ri to cool him down.
"Cha Xiang, the eldest of the Cha family, has been abroad for more than ten years, and has just come back recently, on the surface, the Cha family is now gaining momentum, but there is one point, in fact, these two Cha family are not in harmony with each other, and they are thinking about how to make themselves the next head of the Cha family. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhao Ri's old and coarse brain seemed to be a little enlightened, and he took over and said, "Brother Ye, what do you mean...... Let there be a split within the Cha family, and let these two young masters of the Cha family fight among themselves?"
"That's right!" Ye Chen snapped and closed the folding fan again, and said with a smile: "No matter how strong the Cha family is, if it is divided into two pieces, then there is no need to be afraid, and didn't my people also say it just now, the one who went to help the Lan family break the siege was the eldest young master who had just come back from the Cha family, it can be seen from this point that these two brothers are not breathing out of the nostrils at all, because according to the character of Cha Long's kid, he suffered such a big loss in Tianyan Mansion, and it is impossible to bow his head to the Lan family if he is killed." ”
Having said this, Zhao Ri's face was also happy, but then he frowned again and said, "That'...... Brother Ye, what exactly should we do? We can't just sit here and speculate and do nothing, right?"
Ye Chen smiled, nodded and said, "Of course, Brother Zhao, don't worry, I have already arranged this." ”
"Oh, tell me about it. Zhao Ri's eyes lit up.
"We're like this, Brother Zhao, you send someone to ...... first"
When night falls, the Lan family's mansion in the old city also quiets down.
There was such a fuss during the day, although Lan Xuting spoke hard, he was also haggard and worried.
The Lan family has long been different from the past, and it has long been difficult to move in Tanglin, but now it has offended all forces, and it will be even more difficult to move an inch in the future.
Just when Lan Xuting was hiding alone in the study, sitting in front of the table and feeling depressed, there was a knock on the door outside.
Rubbing his forehead, Lan Xuting didn't raise his head, and said in a tired voice, "Come in." ”
The door opened, and a shadow walked over, carrying a gust of fragrant wind, and Lan Xue came to her father.
"Daddy...... Are you suffering from headaches again?" Seeing her father rubbing her forehead, Lan Xue said very distressedly.
Lan Xuting's headache is already an old problem, he is too tired to support the Lan family alone, and he has become ill after a long time, and he has accumulated this headache over time.
Hearing the voice, Lan Xuting raised his head, and a smile squeezed out of his kind face, "It's Xue'er here, it's okay, it's just a little sleepy just now, no."
It's a big deal. ”
Lan Xue came behind her father, and stretched out her jade hand to help her father rub the temples on both sides of his forehead to relieve his fatigue.
Lan Xuting closed his eyes again, leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, and enjoyed his daughter's massage, he was also satisfied to have such a caring daughter.
"Dad, I want to talk to you about something. Lan Xue said while rubbing her father.
"Tell me, Dad hasn't talked to you for a long time. Lan Xuting replied softly.
Lan Xue's good-looking eyes showed a touch of firmness, and said: "Dad, I want our Lan family to also participate in the bidding for the mining rights of the northern suburbs this year!"
As soon as these words came out, Lan Xue's fingertips could clearly feel it, and her father's whole body shook slightly, and then he opened his eyes and stood up from his seat.
Lan Xuting came to the window, looked outside, and was silent, and the atmosphere in the study gradually became solemn.
Lan Xue's white teeth bit her lip, and finally came firmly behind her father, "Dad, I understand, that vein is a wound in your heart, and it is there that your mother was killed, and for ten years, you have been blaming yourself for not protecting your mother well. ”
Lan Xuting still looked out the window and still didn't speak.
Lan Xue's voice paused, and continued: "Dad, but have you ever thought about it, it is precisely because that vein is where my mother was killed, we should take it over! And our Lan family, if we can't make some improvements, sooner or later it will completely decay, and this vein is also our only chance!"
Lan Xuting finally turned around, and at this moment, his handsome face was actually a little vicissitudes, and there was still ...... Two tear stains.
Seeing that her father was crying, Lan Xue couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
And before she could speak, Lan Xuting had already spoken first, and his voice trembled slightly: "Ten years, ten years! I've been waiting for too long! Daughter, now, I have to tell you some things, why I have been enduring humiliation and stealing my life in the past ten years! Why in the past ten years, the Lan family has obviously had some background, but I have to take the Lan family to survive in the cracks!"
Hearing this, Lan Xue was completely stunned, could it be that her father also had something to hide from herself?
Lan Xuting walked to a corner of the study, where there was a row of bookshelves against the wall, he reached out and placed a book in the middle and pressed it gently.
Crunch
The book was recessed straight in, and with the sound of mechanical operation, the row of shelves actually split a crack in the middle and slowly opened to both sides like a door.
And behind the bookshelf, there was really a door, Lan Xuting took out a key, stared at it for a long time, and finally inserted it into the keyhole on the door.
The door opened, and Lan Xuting turned his head to look at Lan Xue, "Daughter, you have grown up, and you should tell you some things, come in with me." ”
