Chapter 32: Grievances of the Wealthy
Li Mubai found Li Mengxi in an inconspicuous courtyard in the eight alleys of the capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that in this old man, who is nearly seventy years old and spends his days with flowers and plants, Li Mubai can't see the majesty and bearing of him when he was the prince of the entire Samsung Empire.
"You're looking for the wrong person." Li Mengxi, who was carrying a birdcage and playing with the precious thrush, didn't need to ask, from the moment he saw Li Mubai, he knew the other party's intention.
It's just that creation makes people, if Li Mubai can come 20 years earlier, he will definitely join forces with the other party to regain everything that once belonged to him.
No matter how bad it is, Li Mubai can come ten years earlier, and he will fight for his life for his descendants.
It's just that now, thirty years have passed since he lived in seclusion here, just like the reopening of Huaguo, time flies, and looking back is already a matter of things and people.
His former pride and ambition have been smoothed out little by little in this day after day of noise and tediousness, until it finally dies.
"If you're talking about Li Mengxi, the crown prince during the Samsung Empire, then I'm definitely looking for the wrong person." Li Mubai turned around and smiled at Halligan, but he didn't mean to leave, but walked back and forth in the courtyard.
Sometimes he also stretched out his hand to tease those ancient pine bonsai that had been trimmed to an extremely fine extent, Li Mengxi was not angry when he saw this, he knew the identity of the two people in front of him.
also knew the other party's intentions, but he didn't dare to easily entrust his future, as well as the future of his own lineage, to two characters who had never met.
For him, it is better to be still at this time, and the future is uncertain, and life and death are not in his own hands.
If there is a chance for the dragon to come out of the abyss, he will definitely fight this old bone again, but this opportunity, Li Jianxi, who has been scheming and has suppressed him all his life since his youth, will he give it to him?
Li Mengxi didn't answer, Li Mubai was not angry, thirty years of seclusion, forty years of forbearance, no matter who he was, he could cultivate into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, not to mention that the one in South Korea had never given up monitoring him, in this case, Li Mengxi would never be able to go out of the mountain easily.
"However, if I want to find a lonely old man who is terminally ill and whose family heirs are cut off, I'm afraid I've found the right one." Li Mubai, who stopped in front of an orchid, seemed to mention it intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Halligen, who was following him inch, "Look at this flower, how about it?" ”
Halligan didn't understand the flowers and plants of Huaguo, but he also pretended to reach out and touch it slightly, nodded and praised, "It's very beautiful and very spiritual." ”
"It's a pity that some people are like this flower, they seem to be spiritual on the outside, but they are full of black gas on the inside, and their lives are short!" Li Mubai smiled indifferently and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the top of the orchid.
The magical scene stunned Halligan, only to see that the orchid, which was originally in full bloom in the morning sun, turned into a charred black mass in an instant, and the entire stem and leaf withered instantly, as if after a fire, there was no longer any life.
Li Mengxi, who was originally aroused by his words, was immediately furious when he saw it, "What are you doing!" Stop it! ”
As he spoke, he rushed up with a roar, squeezed the two of them aside, reached out to stroke the withered orchid, and saw that the affectionate expression was as caring for him as his own son and nephew, and the bitterness in his eyes moved Harrigan.
"I'm sorry, I just found something interesting in your yard." Li Mubai didn't take Li Mengxi's angry eyes to heart at all, as if it was not he who killed a precious flower and plant worth hundreds of thousands.
He turned his head and stretched out his hand, and some powder appeared on his hand that shone crystal clear and shiny in the sun, and ordinary people could not even notice anything when they looked at it.
"What is this?!" Although Li Mengxi was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to blame Li Mubai for what he did, and even felt stunned because of the other party's strange words.
Is there any special connection between these seemingly inconspicuous powders and their orchids dying in an instant?
"It seems that Mr. Li has indeed lived in seclusion for a long time and can't keep up with the times, maybe I came to disturb me rashly today, and I really did something wrong." After Li Mubai laughed, he turned around resolutely and prepared to leave.
At that moment, even Halligan was dumbfounded, this is completely inconsistent with the development of the plot of the script, shouldn't he continue to strike while the iron is hot at this time and completely pull Li Mengxi to his side?
"Really, really leaving?" When Halligan was wondering whether Li Mubai's move was the retreat mentioned in Chinese classical literature, he saw that Li Mubai's half foot had already stepped out of the door, and looking at the decisive figure, it seemed that he really did not intend to continue lobbying.
"Young man, you seem to be lacking a little patience, I have been living here in seclusion for thirty years, and I don't care about staying here until the day I die completely." Li Mengxi looked at the figure that was about to disappear around the corner, and the doubts in his heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment, and he couldn't help but let out a sound.
This sentence is called a judgment, even if this Li Mengxi, who claims to be indifferent to everything, has crossed the gate of life and death with one foot, and is about to reach the limit of his body, he has to shut up immediately after speaking.
Sometimes, people are really at a very mysterious key fork in the road, and now this is the case, Li Mubai when he got the system before, he also faced this choice, and he understood what kind of torture and suffering the meaning of struggle was.
But fortunately, Li Mubai waited for the answer he wanted, this old man who seems to be old and has no quarrel with the world, there is still an obsession in his heart that has not died, he is unwilling, unwilling, and does not want to!
You know, that position belonged to him back then!
Who is willing to abandon the illustrious scenery in front of people, to suffer for thirty years, and even when his father died, he was not even qualified to kneel in front of the coffin.
Who, not willingly!
Li Mengxi was silent in the end, but his silence did not last long, Li Mubai still stretched out his palms, those crystal clear, colorless and tasteless powders, fluttering everywhere with the wind.
When someone inhaled it into his nose, there was a faint fragrance, and the desire from the bottom of his heart once made Li Mengxi secretly wake up, what happened to him?
Halligan was a little puzzled by Li Mubai's move, "Dear Li, what the hell are these, they smell like a pure fragrance, I don't seem to have seen this kind of pollen." ”
"Pollen?" Li Mubai smiled, laughing heartily, "Do you even think this is naturally formed?" ”
"Isn't it?" Halligan became more and more puzzled, he had a stomach of problems pressing on his heart, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
If it weren't for Li Mubai's special identity, he would really want to go up and grab the other party's collar and force him to answer these secrets.
It's a pity that without Li Mubai opening his mouth, the flowers and plants in the entire courtyard have undergone earth-shaking changes in the next moment, just like the legendary end of the world.
The flowers and trees that were still thriving, after an instant, seemed to be covered with a shadow, and one by one they hung their heads listlessly, like the weeping old man who was about to die, and his life was short.
"What the hell is this? Why is there such a horrible thing in my yard! Even a stupid person can now sense that something is wrong, thinking of Li Mubai's previous words, Li Mengxi suddenly changed color.
"Looks like you've got it clear, so I don't think I need to say more." Li Mubai shook his head slightly, and sighed in a low voice, "Giant, peel off the glossy skin, all that is left is endless dark sludge, as long as you are in it, you can't do it if you want to struggle for a moment." ”
Li Mengxi raised his head with difficulty and looked directly at Li Mubai, the innocent and innocent eyes of the other party fascinated him deeply, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Yes, sometimes, I would rather be born in an ordinary family, brothers, friends and brothers!" ”
“???” Halligan became more and more incomprehensible about the conversation between the two, he wanted to break his head, and he didn't understand what was going on, why Li Mengxi's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
Li Mubai re-entered the courtyard, and the first time he set foot at this time, the current courtyard is a world of difference.
At the last moment, the whole yard was full of birds and flowers.
But at this time, it was a dead and barren group, and the birds in the cage made a mournful squeeze, and the struggle with strength and weakness was only a futile struggle.
"N42, Samsung Life Group's latest biotechnology, there are no more than five people in the world who know this kind of thing, and I happen to be one of them." Li Mubai looked at Halligan, who was confused, and explained with a smile.
No one was stupid here, even Harrigan, who was only one step away from the truth of the matter, although he couldn't understand what N42 was, but just by what was happening in front of him, he understood it in an instant.
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Li, your body at the moment is not as good as before, not only is your body declining, but also your lungs and liver are showing symptoms of disease, if your personal doctor has not been bribed, then he must have reminded you." Turning his head to look at Li Mengxi, who was trembling slightly, Li Mubai suddenly felt a little pitiful for him.
Poor man, he was destined to be born with a lifetime of grievances, this is not a war that can be quelled by just a certain person's concession, you live or die!
Li Mengxi would never have imagined that the younger brother who was humble and polite in front of him and behaved modestly would harbor such evil intentions, even after he was expelled from the house and could not inherit his father's family business, he still refused to let himself go, maybe if he didn't die for a day, he would not be at peace for a day.
Step by step, he unconsciously retreated to his favorite bamboo chair, Li Mengxi suddenly spoke, just like all old people, the beginning of the topic was always accompanied by the recollection of the past, "From you, I seem to have found a shadow of myself, it was forty years ago." ”
"At that time, my father was still alive, and at that time, he was the only emperor, the sole ruler of the entire Samsung Empire and even the entire country! The three of us brothers never dared to disobey him, and even I never dared to speak out loud in front of him, for fear of causing him unhappiness, and he usually did things, but he was even more conscientious and conscientious, and did not dare to take a wrong half a step, but even so, he was still dissatisfied with me, at first I thought that his ability was limited, and he could not enter the eyes of the emperor, but in the end, I realized that it was all because I had two good brothers around me who wanted to overthrow me and thus ascend to the throne! ”
When Li Mengxi said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Under their step-by-step calculations, I had to retreat step by step, I didn't dare, and I didn't want to go to the last step, but my father has always looked down on everything, and he thinks that my concession to my brother is a sign of cowardice." It's just that he doesn't know that he thinks he is as heroic as a god, and at the beginning, he was prejudiced against me, and the power of the Samsung Empire has never been in my hands for a quarter of an hour, and everything outside has slandered me, and the framing has never been cut off, until the last moment, I didn't know that he didn't intend to hand over the power to me from the beginning, and even in order to inherit the entire empire, his original plan did not have my name. ”
"So you chose to denounce him to the Blue House?" Li Mubai listened to this secret, but did not show too much feeling, because this is not uncommon in every wealthy family, but it is really rare to hide for forty years like Li Mengxi.
Li Mengxi smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Do you think I still have a choice?" At that time, the Blue House was also trying to find a way to get rid of his father's control, because with the continuous development and growth of the Samsung empire, the whole of South Korea was forced to be tied to Samsung's chariot, and the president even became an ornament, and all the ministers were my father's people. And at this time, my good brother stepped in, and he personally paved the way for me to look for evidence! Hehe, then, I took the rope with my own hands and put it around my neck. ”
"And what about Lee Chang-hee? Wasn't he involved? Li Mubai is really a little curious, an unsuccessful rebellion actually made Li Jianxi, who has never been inconspicuous, become the prince of the entire Samsung Empire, and in hindsight, this so-called whistleblowing not only made Li Mengxi expelled from the house from then on, but also made Li Changxi, the second heir of the Samsung Empire at that time, also successfully out, everything was cheaper Li Kunxi, which has to be said to be a great irony.
"He? A gentleman is not a man after all, and even in my most critical moments, I did not see him as a threat. In the end, what is even more ironic is that he took the initiative to go to prison and wanted to take advantage of this to become the heir, but he didn't know that there are too many smart people in this world, and there are even more who think they are smart. Li Mengxi's expression was indifferent, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
