Chapter 111: The Third Senior Brother's Sister?
Facing the angry Scorpio leader, Old Dugan said unhurriedly, "Scorpio, I put forward this proposal just to discuss, whether it needs to be implemented or not, everyone has to vote to decide, and I am not the one who has the final say, why are you so excited?" β
"It should be that some people have ghosts in their hearts, so they are so excited." Red Tank stood up again at this time and sneered, although he didn't name him, everyone could hear who he was talking about.
"Good, good, good!" The Scorpio leader laughed angrily, "Then vote on it, no matter what the outcome, I will abide by the resolution of the 'Senate'...... But Libra, I'm telling you, it's your unscrupulous first, and this matter won't just be settled. β
"Who is ready to tear up the original agreement now?" Old Dugan asked with a smile.
"Humph!"
The Scorpio leader snorted coldly and did not answer the question.
The Leo leader clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's vote then, do you agree with Libra's proposal?" Please give us your choice-"
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"Abstain."
"Disagree."
"Agreedβ"
β¦β¦
The end result was that seven people agreed, three disagreed, and one abstained.
Needless to say, seven to three is already more than half, and even if the abstaining Cancer leader is against it, it is only seven against four, and this resolution will still be passed.
It's just that one of the three negative votes surprised the elder Dugan.
Because the owner of this negative vote is actually the leader of Leo!
The Leo leader, who has always been regarded as the uncrowned king by many leaders, is generally in charge of the overall situation, and rarely participates in some small internal frictions.
Before the split of the 'Aegis Brotherhood', the Leo leader was the strongest leader in the Zodiac, and after the split, it was the Leo leader who led the re-formation of the 'Senate Council'. So although everyone is equal in terms of identity, the rest will give the Leo leader three points, both to show respect for him and because of fear of him.
Just like when the Red Tank clashed with the Scorpio leader before, the Leo leader could stand up directly and reprimand the two together, and neither of them could fight back. This has to be replaced by someone else, and the Scorpio leader will not necessarily be, but Red Tank is afraid that he will start scolding his mother a long time ago!
However, in this last crucial link, the Leo leader voted against it.
This made old Dugan very stunned.
"Since the voting result is agreed by more than half, then even if Libra's proposal is passed, before the threat of the Nine Realms overlapping, all internal contradictions will be stopped, and no disobedience shall be allowed!" The Leo leader took a look at the ticket and announced the final result.
"Yes!" The voice of the Scorpio leader gritting his teeth came.
Hearing the Scorpio leader's confession, Lao Du should have been very relieved, but at this time, he couldn't be happy, and he didn't have the slightest joy after the plan succeeded......
"Libra, it's the first time, but I also hope it's the last time...... This kind of little trick that can't be put on the stage, if you appear in this meeting again, don't blame me for not saving face for you. The Leo leader's voice was a little cold, and there was a hint of warning in it.
His words are already very polite!
Old Dugan could certainly find some high-sounding reasons to deal with the past as he did when arguing with the Scorpio leader, or he could pretend not to understand what the Leo leader meant, but these thoughts only flashed through his mind and were completely forgotten.
"I see." Old Dugan's voice was unspeakably bitter.
He knew that although his actions this time did calculate the 'Hydra', it was considered to be a bad breath for the 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', and it also brought a lot of trouble to the 'Hydra'.
But because of this, the Leo leader was extremely dissatisfied with him.
This made the pride that he should have born for the success of his plan was completely crushed in an instant!
*************
The twists and turns of Lao Dugan's meeting of the leaders of the 'Senate Council', Zhang Taibai naturally didn't know, but he personally didn't appreciate Lao Dugan's actions too much.
How to say it, too small, well, it's too small.
Maybe it's because of the difference in strength, and many of Zhang Taibai's ideas are not quite the same as before.
In Zhang Taibai's opinion, since Lao Dugan has decided to join the 'Senate Council' and not get involved in the infighting between 'S.H.I.E.L.D.) and 'Hydra', he shouldn't engage in these small actions like this, not to mention that these small actions don't have much actual impact on 'Hydra', at most they are just disgusting.
Nothing interesting.
With that kung fu, Zhang Taibai would rather drink coffee in his own store and chase dramas or something.
However, this is only the ideal state...... The reality is that he has just been free for a few days, no more than a week at most, and things come to the door again.
"What? The third senior brother also has a younger sister? Zhang Taibai looked at the eighth senior brother Rex opposite with some surprise, "Then why haven't you heard him mention it before?" β
"Don't say you haven't heard of it, they haven't even heard of the senior brother and the second senior sister, but they've known the third senior brother for more than ten years......" Rex said.
"And how do you know?" Zhang Taibai asked.
"I also found out this when I was helping the third senior brother and the sixth senior brother deal with the funeral, the sixth senior brother's side is slightly easier, his parents and siblings are in New York, I just helped them save some unnecessary procedures. But the relatives of the third senior brother are far away in China, and the contact information in the file has become invalid, so it will take a long time to find them. β
"But I accidentally discovered that the third senior brother would send a sum of money to an account every month, so I checked it and found that the owner of the account was actually the third senior brother's half-sister, named Hua Tianqing, a student in the Department of Archaeology at Yale University." Rex Road.
What is certain is that Rex checked it out and must have used his power for personal gain.
But Zhang Taibai didn't bother to care about this, and asked, "This shouldn't be a secret, why did the third senior brother never talk to us about this matter?" β
"You ask me, I ask who to go." Rex rolled his eyes, "If I figure it out, why do I come to you, I just take care of the rest of the matter." β
"Then what do you want to do now, contact that Hua Tianqing directly and tell her the news that the third senior brother has passed away?" When Zhang Taibai said this, sadness came to his heart again.
Although Hua Tianwen and Yu Yi have been gone for a while, every time they think of the previous scenes, they still can't easily forget it, and sadness is inevitable.
Rex sighed, "That's what I have a headache right now, and I can't decide what to do with this matter until I understand why the third senior brother never mentions his sister, in case there is something hidden in it that we don't know, it will be very troublesome." β
"Have you asked Master?" Zhang Taibai asked suddenly.
"Well, this one really doesn't exist, I just called the senior brother and asked them." Rex shook his head and said, "But if Senior Brother doesn't know, Master shouldn't know about this either, right?" β
"Then maybe, how do you know that Master doesn't know if you don't ask." Zhang Taibai said and stood up, "Let's go, go and ask, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." β
"What you said is not unreasonable, let's go." Rex also stood up and followed.
β¦β¦
More than half an hour later, Zhang Taibai and the two of them had already arrived at the home of Master Li Luofeng.
"Astronomical's sister? Do you mean that girl named Hua Tianqing? Li Luofeng said.
"Master, you actually know about this!" Rex was stunned.
"Well, Tianwen told me, but he also asked me not to tell you, so I never said it." Li Luofeng said with some emotion.
"Don't tell us? Here's why. Rex was puzzled.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, he sends a sum of money to his sister every month, and his income is basically from the martial arts hall, and that money accounts for two-thirds of his income...... He doesn't want you to know about it, because he is afraid that you will think that he is financially constrained and will find a way to give him money, so he doesn't want to mention it. Li Luofeng said.
"Tianwen, this kid, although he has always been kind to others, is actually a very stubborn person in his bones, and he doesn't want your relationship to change because of money."
"I tried to give him a salary increase several times, but he firmly refused...... I didn't want to hurt his self-esteem, so I didn't force it, anyway, he could eat and live in the martial arts hall, and his life would not be too shabby, at most it would be less entertainment, but this was his own choice. β
When Li Luofeng said this, he was also very embarrassed.
When Zhang Taibai heard this, he recalled some details that he hadn't paid attention to before.
For example, except for going to Senior Brother for dinner, Hua Tianwen rarely participates in activities between them, and spends most of his time staying in the martial arts hall.
They only thought that Hua Tianwen didn't like to be lively, but they never thought about the lack of money.
Because of the few brothers and sisters, none of them have poor conditions, especially those like the second senior sister Dong Xueqing, the fourth senior brother Gu Wenhui, and the seventh senior sister Winnie, who are even richer, and even a small boss like Zhang Taibai can be said to be poor compared to them.
With Hua Tianwen's person, if everyone really knows that he is financially poor, he will definitely not be soft on money, and the amount is definitely considerable.
"That's probably what he's worried about." Zhang Taibai thought helplessly.
Hua Tianwen chose to hide this matter from them, which should have calculated their reaction.
"You don't have to try to contact Astronomy's parents, his mother died when he was a child, and his father was a bastard and a gambler...... If you tell him about Astronomy's death, he will only care about how much Astronomy has left him. Li Luofeng suddenly said again.
