Chapter 224: Torrent Undercurrent (I)
Hanging up the phone, Li Banruo's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and his mood was not to the point where the eight winds didn't move, so because of such a phone call, he was completely shaken, and he knew that he might not be able to sleep this night.
The homeless people who are still lively downstairs, without the supporting role of Li Panruo, will not affect this warm atmosphere at all.
After Li Banruo went upstairs, the fifth child also stopped continuing to drink alcohol, but lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate, Abin said hello to the fourth child and went upstairs, and just returned to the room, he received a call from the ninth master.
Abin answered as soon as possible, after all, Jiu Ye rarely called him.
The content of the call was very brief, and after listening to it, Abin nodded silently and chose to hang up such a call.
With mixed feelings, Abin stood in front of the small window, looking at the night scene, staring deeply.
This storm is still coming.

In the Zhou family villa, an old man with thick eyebrows hung up the phone, although he had an extremely old face, his hair was extremely vigorous, and his angular beard gave people a particularly majestic feeling.
Zhou Kangcheng, who came in a hurry, watched the old man hang up the phone, and asked nervously, "Old man, what does the Bai family say?"
The old man moved his mouth, but he didn't speak, as if he was thinking deeply about something, and just when Zhou Kangcheng's appetite was completely suspended, he said slowly: "Tomorrow night, Wei Jiu will disappear in Xicheng District, and all the resources under Wei Jiu will become a huge cake." ”
Zhou Kangcheng's eyes widened for a while, and after a while, he showed a hungry expression, as if there was a huge cake in front of him, he couldn't help but wipe his mouth and said, "This is a good thing." ”
The old man looked at Zhou Kangcheng, who was not calm, and his face was more or less disappointed, although Zhou Kangcheng was quite calm on weekdays, but in the face of this kind of big event, he obviously lost the most basic sense of proportion, he did not complain that Zhou Kangcheng had no determination, he could only say that the immediate benefits were really huge, so big that Zhou Kangcheng didn't know where to speak, so big that Zhou Kangcheng lost his mind.
But will there really be a big cake? Zhou Tieshan shook his head, as the helmsman who forged the Zhou family into a famous place in Xicheng District, he saw a lot of wind and rain along the way, and passed by countless opportunities, obviously he had unlimited opportunities to make the Zhou family the third largest family in Xicheng District, but he didn't do it, even now, he didn't regret it at all, because he had seen countless families embark on that road of no return, and then shattered.
This time, the same is true, he said to Zhou Kangcheng, who had lost his sense of proportion: "Do you think Wei Jiu can fall if he says it? If Wei Jiu only had this ability, he would not have stood in Xicheng District for so many years, Bai Wenshan, this old thing, is inevitably a little old and confused, if I were him, I would have used the ninth master to get rid of the Liu family, but Bai Wenshan, who was so old that his brain was muddy, actually united with the Liu family, in my opinion, the ferocity of this Liu family is not lower than Wei Jiu at all. ”
With Zhou Tieshan's words, the restless Zhou Kangcheng also slowly recovered, and seemed to feel that what he was thinking about just now was a little simpler, he calmed down and said, "Then we choose to wait and see now?"
"Wait a minute, if Wei Jiu's banner is really pulled down by Bai Wenshan, such a piece of fat, we must swallow it, if the Bai family and the Liu family swallow the forces under the hands of the ninth master, then our situation will be dangerous. Zhou Tieshan said, he got up with his hands behind his back and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, squinting slightly at the brightly lit city in front of him.
These wars, or battles that occurred because of the collision of interests, weaved a big net of this era, and it will never be calmed down, because people's desires are originally an endless thing, Zhou Tieshan, who has experienced most of his life, thought so.
Zhou Kangcheng stood silently behind Zhou Tieshan, although he usually called this man an old man, and seemed to have no respect for his biological father at all, but in his heart, Zhou Kangcheng had an unusual admiration for this man, and there was always a feeling that this man would never fall.
"It's already thirty, it's time to put away your little bit of effort, it's not a way to play anymore, it's your own face to lose, I know that you and Xia Zhao have no feelings, but when it's time to converge, it's better to converge a little, how to say that she is also a woman, since she has given you all her life, as a master, you have to learn to be responsible." Zhou Tieshan interjected a digression.
Zhou Kangcheng frowned, because Zhou Tieshan rarely mentioned this topic, although he secretly scolded in his heart that the woman must have come to make a small report, but he said sincerely: "Old man, I understand." ”
"Go ahead, tomorrow night is Bai Wenshan's 80th birthday, I will attend, at least I have to show that we are on his side, this old man who remembers all the little grudges is not easy to fool. Zhou Tieshan said.
"I'm not going. Hearing this, Zhou Kangcheng shook his head and said.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Tieshan looked at Zhou Kangcheng, who rarely refused this kind of occasion.
"I have a little contradiction with that kid from the Bai family, but if Wei Jiu really falls, this contradiction is not a contradiction, because the Bai family will definitely not want this Wei Jiu's son. Zhou Kangcheng explained.
Zhou Tieshan nodded slightly, then continued to turn his back to Zhou Kangcheng and said, "How are you going to prepare how to divide such a big cake." ”
Zhou Kangcheng nodded vigorously and agreed, and then quietly exited the room.
The sturdy old man Zhou Tieshan stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his shadow was stretched for a long time, and there seemed to be no end.
He looked at such a city like this for a long time, and finally muttered to himself.
Who gave birth to...
Who died...
---
The Liu family's mansion.
Outside the private ICU, Liu Jincheng held his arms and looked at the struggling old man in the ward with a gloomy face, behind him, there were a few relatives of the Liu family, looking nervously at this man who only left a back for them, this man, the undisputed next helmsman of the Liu family, even if there is no shortage of capable people in this crowd, but no one dares to have any superfluous opinions about this man taking over the Liu family, perhaps this is a respect for this man's absolute strength.
After a long time, Liu Jincheng turned his head and said: "You don't have to waste time here, whether the old man can survive or not, it's useless for us to be here, it's good to have me here." ”
No one dared to have any controversy, and left silently, leaving only Liu Xianxiang at the end of the crowd.
Liu Xianxiang stepped forward and looked at the old man in the ward, his expression was a little distressed, but Liu Jincheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your grandfather can't hold it." ”
Liu Xianxiang's eyes were slightly red, and he slowly clenched his fists and said, "He will definitely hold on." ”
"The number of lives is not a thing that can survive it, but it can survive. For the sake of this Liu family, he did a lifetime of sin, lying on the hospital bed for two years, and being tortured for two years, maybe this is the retribution given by God. You must remember that although some things must be cut to the roots, don't do too much, not to leave a back road for them, but to leave a back road for yourself. Liu Jincheng said with a sigh on his face, maybe it was the reason why he watched this retribution happen in front of him, he chose to take a back seat in the past two years, so he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to push Liu Xianxiang out.
But the Liu family must need an heir, whether it is right or wrong, he needs to do it here.
Liu Xianxiang nodded vigorously, with a teachable expression.
"Tomorrow night, it's Bai Wenshan's eightieth birthday, you go over on my behalf, I need to show an attitude, I know you have ambitions, but ambitions must also know how to stop in moderation, remember, the annexation of the Bai family is to solve the matter after Wei Jiu, we must not underestimate that man, especially now that we are standing on the opposite side of Wei Jiu, if he catches the flaw, maybe the entire Bai Liu Alliance will be crushed by him. Liu Jincheng said to Liu Xianxiang.
After Liu Xianxiang heard this, he had an expression of wanting to say something, but in the end he still chose to nod, and then retreated silently, preparing for the storm that might occur tomorrow night, this time Liu Chengjin didn't tell him much, and gave Liu Xianxiang enough time to choose.
In the huge corridor, only Liu Jincheng was left, he watched the old man in the CIU breathe hard, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed the number that had been sealed in the address book for many years.
The phone rang and it was connected, and Bai Wenshan's extremely old voice came from the opposite side.
"Second Master Bai, tomorrow's birthday, I don't think I can go. Liu Jincheng said.
Bai Wenshan's voice came from the opposite side: "Reluctant to sell me this face?"
Liu Jincheng shook his head slightly and said: "The old man is about to be unable to hold on, tomorrow I will let Xianxiang go over on my behalf, to be honest, this time all the cooperation between the Bai family and the Liu family, I have handed over to this little rabbit cub to take care of, so it is inevitable that there are some details that he has not done very properly, I have already taught him a lesson, at least confirmed that our only purpose now is to pull Wei Jiu off the horse." ”
After hearing Liu Chengjin's words that he didn't seem to have acting skills, Bai Wenshan on the opposite side took a deep breath and said: "Pass a word to Old Man Liu on my behalf, I owed him a jar of wine back then, and I can only drink it when we go down together." ”
Liu Chengjin nodded slightly, he knew why Bai Wenshan would avoid this topic for a while, but the message he wanted to convey had already arrived, and Bai Wenshan had obviously acquiesced to what he said.
"Jincheng, I understand your good intentions, I won't pick on this matter, I just hope that we are people in the same boat, this is not too demanding, right?" Just when Liu Jincheng thought that Bai Wenshan would hang up the phone, Bai Wenshan suddenly said this.
Liu Jincheng didn't think about it, but frowned and said, "It's not high." ”
Such a phone call hung up like this, which seemed to open the prelude to a kind of storm of interests.
