Chapter XVII: Wu's Emergency Meeting
Just do it, without further ado, Wu Qi reported the matter to Wu Yong, that is, his cheap dad, as soon as possible. Although he usually doesn't look very pleasantly at his Lao Tzu horizontally and vertically, but now that he encounters such a thing, it is very important, and Wu Qi still thought of telling his father at the first time.
Wu Qi told his father in detail all the ins and outs of the matter, and even did not hide that he was at the scene when Gao Jian was stabbed and killed, but he insisted that he did not say who did it, this was his promise, and he always remembered it.
After listening to his youngest son's words, Wu Yong's expression was very calm, and there was no obvious change in his face, even when Wu Qi said that his life was hanging by a thread! This was very unexpected by Wu Qi, and at the same time, Wu Qi couldn't help but be very angry in his heart, what kind of person, how can you say that I am also your species, what kind of reaction do you have?
Wu Qi didn't know that Wu Yong was paying close attention to the whole incident from beginning to end, but Wu Qi had not found any clues until now! In fact, it is not difficult to guess that he can control most of the forces of a family, and it has grown rapidly in just a few decades, if the helmsman does not have two brushes, is this possible? Wu Qi said all this, his father knew it, even Wang Ping's murder of Gao Jian, from the beginning he already knew every detail of the scene, people can be ruthless, besides, Wu Yong has been fighting for half his life, and the two heirs are not much compared to the property and status he has now, and it can even be said that it is quite little, pitiful, so how can he not care about Wu Qi's life or death?
Wu Yong listened to his son's description of what had happened, at this time he didn't care about the dissatisfied expression on his son's face, nor did he care how much hatred his son added to him, he thought that his son would tell him about it, frankly, this was beyond his expectations. Wu Yong secretly thought in his heart: The son is hiding from himself, and it seems that he is very attentive to that kid, this is indeed the case, of course he can't go back on what he promised to others.
In Wu Qi's eyes, he couldn't figure out the problem of racking his brains and couldn't think of any countermeasures, but when it was Wu Yong's turn, he solved it very easily and casually.
Wu Yong immediately responded, secretly recalling a family guard roaming the misty jungle on the one hand, and decisively using his emergency meeting power on the other.
The right to convene an emergency meeting refers to the right to convene an emergency meeting of the main family leaders under non-prescribed conditions. Although the sparrow is small, although compared with the real big family, the Wu family may not even be as good as the grass, but in the small Xiangyang City, the Wu family is definitely the number one force in the ranking, the family is involved in a lot of industries, so there are talents from all walks of life, usually Wu Qi's several uncles have their own key business scope, of course, it is impossible to hold a collective meeting together at two ends in three days, so it is also stipulated that the time for the plenary meeting is specified, generally speaking, there are only a few times a year, but everything has a general and special, for situations that threaten the security of the family, or other particularly important situations, certain personnel have the right to an emergency meeting once a year!
Of course, this right is not available to individuals, it is only available to a certain number of high-ranking members of the family. Under Wu Yong's decisive measures, a hasty emergency meeting of the Wu family was quietly held, but this time the situation was slightly different from the previous stylized regular meeting, and the difference was reflected in two aspects, on the one hand, the number of people participating in the meeting was much smaller than in the past;
At the meeting, Wu Qi briefly recounted the assassination he had suffered not long ago, no matter how big or small, except to replace Wang Ping with a masked man, and then recounted the reaction of Gaojiazhuang that followed.
After Wu Qi finished speaking, everyone in the audience looked at each other, and after a while of silence, they began to talk to each other, obviously not taking Wu Qi's words to heart, Wu Qi deliberately coughed a few times, but it did not attract too many people's attention, not so much a cough, but a roar, but the response at the scene was obviously very unsatisfactory. Fortunately, Wu Yong put the teacup in his hand on the table in a timely manner, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
It is not difficult to see from this that although the people at the scene were dissatisfied with Wu Yong's selfish behavior of pushing his son to the front desk in an attempt to show his face, no one dared to raise it head-on! It is no wonder that Wu Yong gave everyone the impression that he dared to fight and kill, that is, the image of a reckless man, who annoyed such a plague god who adds fists and feet at every turn, he doesn't matter whether your age or status is important or not, he will beat you up at the least, cripple or even beat you to death! This kind of thing is not without precedent, what is depressing is that this plague god is also strong in martial arts, it is simply unreasonable!
Wu Yong was in charge of the Wu family's armed forces for a while, it was nearly 20 years! If there was nothing in his hand that could be taken out, wouldn't it be against the sky?
After Wu Yong used his means to control the situation, he did not continue the next move, but immediately changed back to the original state, did not speak, just sat quietly, and even picked up the teacup again and began to drink slowly.
Wu Qi cooperated quite tacitly, and immediately said: "Everyone, haven't you found any clues from these circumstances?"
Most of the people had bewildered expressions, and most of them were just a group of businessmen, just managing some industries, and they themselves knew nothing about this kind of transfer of force, so only a few people nodded secretly in contemplation.
Wu Qi obviously didn't intend to listen to these people's nonsense, and he didn't wait for any reaction from below, and immediately continued: "The people of Gaojiazhuang have never been easy to get along with, we have been fighting with them for so many years, and we have not been able to defeat them, think about it carefully, is there any other reason besides that they belong to the locals?"
Everyone knows that the Wu family is strong in force, and in terms of force alone, even the Zhang family, the first family, is afraid of three points, but a second-rate force has been fighting with itself in the field of slave trade for so many years, just because in the final analysis, the decision-making level of the family is more skilled. Although the words were not as clear as they said, everyone was not stupid, of course they could hear it, but at least Wu Qi didn't say it openly, so none of the people spoke out against it, everyone can do this, and the face has been tested by swords and guns, of course, they will not come out by themselves because of a sentence to die or live. Wu Qi's unintentional words actually poked at such a sensitive cover door, which even he didn't know.
Wu Qi paused, brewed his emotions, and then said: "In the face of this situation, I thought that Gaojiazhuang would definitely make a big move in the near future, and this big move was likely to be aimed at our Wu family! ”
If Wu Yong said such a thing, everyone would frown and slander twice, but now that Wu Qi is saying these words, the reaction of the audience is different. Although most people still agree with what Wu Qi said, it is one thing to agree with you, and it is another thing to support you.
Someone in the audience finally raised a question, the person who spoke was of medium height, but the horizontal proportions of the body could be arrogant, a short and fat middle-aged man spoke: "I said Xiaoqi, you can't say that, you said that you think, Uncle, you don't have much knowledge, Uncle wants to ask you, why do you think? Why do we think we have to work hard to make such a big change because of yours?"
Wu Qi is no stranger to this short and fat bun, this guy is too famous, not only within the Wu family, but even in the entire Xiangyang City, he is not so well-known because this person has some amazing magical powers or admirable talents, on the contrary, this guy can be said to be useless, no, there are still some special skills, for example, in addition to the characteristics of a dime, that is, shameless, very shameless, very shameless, he is Wu Qi's uncle Wu Zhong's loyal supporter, to what extentNo one else may believe it, but it is true, for example, even if Wu Zhong said that he would sell his daughter to a brothel, he would do it without blinking!
As an upper-class person, when choosing his subordinates, he either uses his talents or chooses to be loyal to himself, the former is a great man, and the latter is a wise man. Wu Zhong is obviously the second kind of person, and the first condition for him to choose his subordinates is loyalty, even if you don't have any talent! This is the reason why Wu Cong can mix well.
Today's Wu Qi is not just Wu Qi, he also represents Wu Yong's will, to be honest, the first to stand up and openly oppose Wu Qi, it is no different from openly opposing Wu Yong, Wu Cong is also under a lot of pressure, Wu Cong is also quite weak-minded, although he is the patriarch's descendant, but if Wu Yong does not agree with him and gives himself a vicious beating with fists and feet, Wu Cong can only bear it, because Wu Zhong is impossible because of this "trivial matter" Just what about his own brother, besides, Wu Yong is almost self-contained now, even if Wu Zhong wants to do something, he can't just say that he can do it!
What people expected was that Wu Yong seemed to be stupid, just sitting and drinking tea, as if he didn't hear what everyone said, and he didn't mean to speak out at all! Wu Yong had his own considerations, if his son couldn't even put such a beam-jumping clown on the table, then it would be better to be his boss wholeheartedly, as long as his eldest son was there, he could ensure the comfort of his life.
Wu Yong also has his own considerations, he wants to let his youngest son deal with this unexpected situation by himself.
Wu Qi has a super ability that even he didn't realize himself, that is, he can quickly adapt to a new environment, no, in this short period of time, Wu Qi has gradually adapted to the atmosphere here, Wu Qi picked up the teacup on the table, and fell heavily to the ground, the teacup and the hard marble floor contacted, making a crisp sound, and the sound shattered.
Everyone was shocked, and stopped whispering again, compared with Wu Yong, Wu Qi also achieved his goal, but his actions were a little bigger, no wonder, prestige is not born, it is all after a long period of brewing and precipitation, everyone looked at Wu Qi in amazement, Wu Qi said calmly: "Wu Cong, you listen to me clearly, in private, you are my clan uncle, I should be respectful to you, but what is the occasion now?" Today I am discussing important matters that are likely to threaten the safety of my Wu family, what is the difference between you and a mad dog when you catch someone like a shrew scolding the street? Since the establishment of the Wu family, in major matters, our Wu family has no distinction between elders and juniors, if you continue to stir up trouble here, don't blame me for not being merciful and letting people expel you? But then again, although I am presiding over this meeting today, I am not a person who likes to make a statement, not to mention that I don't give you a chance, if you think that you can bear all the serious consequences that may arise on your own, I can completely retract what I said, as if I didn't say anything. Now that I'm going to give you a chance, I'm going to ask you, if I'm unfortunate enough to say it, are you willing to bear all the serious consequences?"
Wu Cong's chubby face turned red, obviously humiliated by Wu Qi's merciless questioning, although he wanted to say something in his mouth, he couldn't say a word, "you" didn't come up with "you" for a long time, and finally could only put down the carrot-thick fingers that pointed at Wu Qi and sat back.
Wu Cong dared to stand up and openly oppose it, that was because he had the support of the patriarch behind him, but Wu Qi occupied the name of righteousness, and Wu Cong also had to choose to compromise, others did not have this condition, and after the fat man Wu Cong squatted down in disgrace, everyone became silent.
Wu Zhong has been watching from the sidelines, seeing the current situation, his eyes are obviously gloomy, but soon returned to the original state, although Wu Yong has always been fighting with the teacup in his hand on the side, but inadvertently still showed a sly and gratifying smile!
As for the others, everyone has different expressions, a small number of them show jealousy, most of them don't care, anyway, it has nothing to do with them, as for who is at the helm of the Wu family in the end, they all do their own thing.
Wu Qi said: "Next, I propose that all the transactions of the Wu family should be appropriately contracted, and the main energy should be retained to deal with all possible blows, and the few nails buried in the opponent should also be taken action, and every effort should be made to find out some information, and more people should be sent to pay close attention to the movements of Gaojiazhuang, and not the slightest important information must be missed!"
Wu Yong was finally willing to put down the teacup in his hand, faced his eldest brother, and said: "Big brother, what do you say? I think I'm not afraid of 10,000 just in case, during this time, the people under him did find some opponents unusual, at first I just thought that the opponent might have made a little change, but now it seems that this is not the case, but fortunately, thanks to Xiaoqi's reminder, this kind of thing is definitely not wrong to prevent trouble, what do you say?"
Wu Zhong stared at his younger brother and said after a while: "Well, it makes sense, so let's do it." "It's about the safety of the entire family, and of course the head of a clan can't act arbitrarily because of any other factor.
At last the dust settled, and everyone went down to prepare.
Only, will things really turn out the way they were supposed to?
The future is full of challenges, and of course there are opportunities, huge opportunities, for Wu Qi.
