Chapter 287, What is Family?
On the roof of the towering building, Li Guo and Ye Feng used a grilled fish, accompanied by beer, facing the whistling cold wind, which had a unique taste.
made Li Guo think of a lyric - the cold ice rain slapped indiscriminately on his face, and now it is a cold wind, and it doesn't seem to make much difference.
At this moment, Ye Feng sighed like a confused young man.
"I went back home and learned about the past... It wasn't my father, or my grandfather, but my own father's wife, in order to keep the eldest son's legitimacy. β
"It's a clichΓ© plot. β
Li Guo silently guessed in his heart, and the next plot was probably that the son of this wife was actually a standard waste boy...
However, Li Guo guessed wrong.
"My half-brother is not an uneducated young man, in fact, even if I go home, the inheritance is probably my eldest brother's. Ye Feng looked helpless, and his expression was gloomy: "However, because of the so-called 'insurance', his wife wants to get rid of our mother and son, for fear that we will go back and fight with them for power and profit." β
Fear.
Insurance.
The overlapping of these affixes is quite unpleasant.
For some trumped-up reasons, the life of an innocent mother was arranged, and a child lost his family.
Li Guo looked at Ye Feng with a confused face, but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, Ye Feng drank another half bottle and said blankly.
"Li Zhenren, you say, is wealth really so tempting? Let every living person become a ghost. β
"You can think of financial power as a kind of 'superpower'. Li Guo said lightly: "Many people, in order to gain powerful abilities, have also turned from humans to ghosts, which is a truth. β
This is the case with those who have obtained the evil cultivation method and cultivated, and it is not surprising that some people will become ghosts on the spot in the face of interests.
"That's true..."
Ye Feng sighed and said: "Now, they want me to return to my family, so they also punished my cheap father's wife according to the family law, expelled him from the house and escorted him to the police, but I still think... They haven't looked for me for so many years, but today I came to look for me after I entered the list, what does this mean? It means that they don't have to look for me for many years when there is no use value, and when I have use value, they will come to look for me? And the so-called wife, if I don't come back, they won't punish her?"
At this time, Ye Feng poured the wine into his throat, saying that he didn't care about the thoughts of the people in his family, but in fact, he still cared.
The bitter wine hurts in his throat, and Ye Feng at this moment is in such a state.
This is someone else's family matter, and Li Guo is inconvenient to say more, just accompany the drinking.
"The so-called life..."At this time, Ye Feng sighed: "After seven days, that banquet, do I go or not..."
A banquet seven days later?
Li Guo raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, the rich and the awakened have a banquet for the transfer of interests?"
"Fellow Daoist, you know this. β
Ye Feng was a little surprised, but he still nodded and said, "Indeed, after seven days, the Ye family hopes that I can attend the banquet..."
"It's a trip to troubled waters. β
"It's really muddy water..."
Ye Feng sighed.
Li Guo knew that Ye Feng's heart was in chaos at this time, and he couldn't free himself from the restraints, so he finally pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Ye Daoyou, in this matter, you need to ask your heart. β
"Ask your heart?" Ye Feng raised his head and said, his face had a hint of hope, hoping that Li Guo would be able to point to him.
"In your heart, you feel that the Ye family is ashamed of you and your mother, but your heart is longing for your family, so you hesitate. Li Guo paused and said: "First of all, you have to define what is called 'family'. β
"The Ye family is your blood relative, from the traditional point of view, they are indeed your family, but according to the poor road, they only have the grace of 'giving birth' to you, but not the grace of 'raising' you. β
"As far as you are concerned, the mother who raised you is your family, and the old Taoist of the Tongxagram is your family, and they are not... Then you need to ask your heart. β
"Do you think that the connection between blood is more important, or is it the relationship that has been together for a long time is important?"
The authorities were confused, the bystanders were clear, Li Guo's words made Ye Feng a little suddenly enlightened, and most of the chaos in front of him disappeared.
The reason why he began to struggle here is because he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he has just longed for it, but he never thought that the love of his parents has already been invested in him.
The mother who held herself in her arms and was not hit by a car, the old Taoist who raised and educated herself, the old Taoist who was reluctant to eat pig's head meat and always left it for herself, the old Taoist who loved to eat chicken legs but always ate chicken heads.
"I see... I am entangled by the obsession in my heart, and I always feel that I am alone, without a father or mother since I was a child, and I lack a lot more than others, in fact, I am not alone..."
The chaos in Ye Feng's eyes dissipated, and the obsession in his heart disappeared, and he muttered.
"The Ye family only gives me the grace of flesh and blood, I just find a chance to repay this grace of flesh and blood, and there is a real father who needs to be honored... My master..."
"Yes, yes. Li Guo smiled and said, it seemed that Ye Feng had figured it out by himself at this time.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to look at it, and I believe in my inner attachment..."
Ye Feng returned to his breezy appearance and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your order. β
"It's not a point. Li Guo shook his head and said, "It's you who figured it out." β
"That's right. β
At this time, Ye Feng's face became serious.
"Therefore, I am going to this handover banquet of the 'old and new wealthy families'. β
"Have you decided to wade through the muddy waters this time?" Li Guo said with a smile.
"It's not about wading into troubled waters. Ye Feng's eyes were clear, and he was not the slightest bit confused, and said: "This time I went to supervise on behalf of the official, not on behalf of the side of the awakened, nor on the side of the old rich businessmen, pure neutrality." β
If Ye Feng, who hadn't figured it out before, would have gotten this sentence of 'absolute neutrality', but now he said it with confidence.
Neutrality is neutrality, and no one should mess around.
At this time, Ye Feng shook his head again and said, "And I always feel that something happened at the handover banquet of the old and new nobles this time..."
Li Guo's eyebrows were raised, but he took it to heart.
The 'whim' or sixth sense of an immortal cultivator is much stronger than that of a person, especially a person like Ye Feng, who has the luck of a person who bears the burden of his body, he feels that if something happens, then something must happen.
Combined with the mysterious shrine that summons foreign objects outside the sky, there is almost a smell of wind and rain.
...
After catching up with Ye Feng, Li Guo wandered around eating and drinking for the next few days, maybe because he ate and drank too much, and those local wealthy families didn't stare at him, only a few still followed closely behind.
Li Guo couldn't cry or laugh, and he threw them off after a few tosses.
"How afraid are these wealthy families that I will come in here and grab jobs with them..."
Unlike the boss of Ali's bar, Li Guo really doesn't like money and glory...
Staying in the capital is purely because of the cause and effect of the shrine.
However, Lie Fuqing had news from his side, and it took him a long time to investigate the news of this shrine.
Li Guo went to the local investigation bureau, and is currently following this single case as an assistant of the civil investigation team, Lie Fuqing himself came out, and said with Li Guo: "Li Zhenren, there is already news about the shrine, according to our brother's investigation, it was brought by a Vietnamese, and it was brought to me someone in the capital in the name of selling folk collections... At present, the Vietnamese seems to have evaporated from the world, and he can't find it. β
The 'eye of the sky' at the foot of the capital can't be found, so the evaporation of the world is probably literal, and eighty percent has been wiped out by the mysterious existence that took away the shrine.
At this time, Lie Fuqing said again.
However, according to the results of the investigation by the police brothers, the Vietnamese brought a total of three shrines. β
"Three shrines... What about the other two?" Li Guo was puzzled in his heart, and at the same time, he affirmed that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this shrine.
"I don't know where, I just know that the other two shrines are in the capital. Lie Fuqing's expression was a little serious and said: "If this shrine is used to deal with big people, the consequences are unimaginable..."
"You probably don't have to worry about that. β
Li Guo was comforted: "This evil thing outside the world is just an evil thing in the end, it can be used to curse people, but it can't curse people with great luck, now this great world is coming, the power of luck is rolling, if you want to use evil things to affect people in the world, it is tantamount to using mantis arms as a car"
In the capital of Huaxia, the dragon veins are rolling, the territory of a great country, and the hundred-year-old true dragon spirit veins are sheltered here, how can the evil things outside the sky interfere with?
In other words, even if you do something, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the adults, and if you talk about the big things that have happened in the capital recently, it will only be the handover banquet of the old and new nobles that will be held recently.
Li Guo informed Lie Fuqing of his opinion.
After hearing this, Lie Fuqing first breathed a sigh of relief, in this 'metaphysics', he still expressed his trust in Li Guo's 'authority'.
But even if you want to do something at the handover banquet of the wealthy families, it is not a trivial matter.
"No matter how much we do, we can't investigate... After all, surveillance can't be fully covered. Lie Fuqing groaned: "What we can do at present is to increase our efforts to investigate." β
At this time, Lie Fuqing seemed to have plucked up courage, and looked at Li Guo with a somewhat embarrassed face.
"Li Zhenren, I have a reluctant request..."
"How?" Li Guo said with a raised brow.
"May I go to that handover feast? Lie Fuqing said: "I have also seen the methods of that human-faced spider last time, I am afraid that our ordinary abilities will not be able to cause harm to it." β
The human-faced spider is outside the dimension, but it can affect reality through special means, which is equivalent to him being able to influence you, but you can't affect him, this kind of weird ability is helpless for the vast majority of capable people, Lie Fuqing has the strength to pay for himself, but he is still powerless in the face of such cotton enemies.
Li Guo understood that Lie Fuqing wanted to let himself go to the handover banquet to protect the people present, if the person who used the evil things outside the world was still there, he could only use the power of cutting off cause and effect to protect the people present.
"What about the handover banquet... Unexpectedly, in the end, I was allowed to get involved. Li Guo's expression at this time didn't know what to do.
I promised not to mix this trip to the troubled waters, but I didn't expect to mix it in after tossing and turning.
At this time, Lie Fuqing once again pleaded: "Li Zhenren, as long as you go to the handover banquet, whether this weird shrine has anything to do with the banquet or not, I will take you as the first credit when the matter is over." β
The first merit?
After hearing this, Li Guo said with some surprise.
"Do you know what the concept of the first credit for this is?"
Generally speaking, the investigation team will not give the first credit for these major events to the non-staff personnel, after all, in contrast, this first credit to the people of the investigation team is the capital for promotion, and for the people outside the investigation team, this first credit is just an honor, not much practical effect.. Maybe tens of thousands of dollars in rewards?
"Of course I do. Lie Fuqing's expression was solemn: "But as the leader of the investigation team, I must put the safety of the people first, even if I hate those so-called gentry families and old wealthy businessmen, but as citizens of the Chinese People's Republic and residents of the capital, it is necessary for me to protect them... If this function is exchanged for you to go to the banquet, then what if I don't want this work?"
"Besides, Li Zhenren, you are not wrong to take this merit, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the clue would be broken in Yang Jingwei, even if you don't go to this handover banquet, I can't be greedy for this credit. β
Li Guo looked at Lie Fuqing's righteous and upright face, and immediately felt good, and he also knew why he was able to become the leader of the investigation team in the important places in the capital, not arrogant because of his position, and did his best to do his duty.
Sometimes it is precisely because of the existence of these people that many people feel that this country, this era, is full of hope and future...
