Chapter 981: Uncle and sister-in-law become adulterous and forced to rebel
"Li Rui, where are you?"
"I'm in the hospital, what's wrong?"
"A special drug has been developed."
"Great!"
Hearing the good news from Xie Shuiping, Li Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the past three months, he has been suppressing his inner impulses and maintaining a balance between him and Shangguan Liang and He Zhizhi.
The virus war launched by Shangguan and He caused the entire Shanghai to fall into panic.
But their attempt to turn the tide through this means is doomed to be a death struggle.
Their inhumane "farce" not only caused the death of millions of people in Shanghai, but also spread the plague to the entire Celestial Empire.
However, I have to admit that Shangguan and He's plot was effective in a short period of time, at least, they blocked the crumbling decline and bought themselves a chance to breathe.
Taking advantage of this gap, Shangguan Liang sent the 'Earth Fire Twelve' headed by Zhu Rong to frantically create assassination operations, trying to break Li Rui's will to fight through this white terror.
But he still underestimated the strength of the "Six Golden Flowers", and also greatly underestimated Situ Zhao's strength. Although Zhu Rong is a third-grade master of the Shinto Idea Sect, it is difficult for his two fists to reach his four legs, not to mention that behind the "Six Golden Flowers" is a huge cultivator organization - Linglong Pavilion.
"Okay, now you immediately distribute the special medicine to the whole society, and we will end the plague in the shortest possible time."
"Okay, we'll do it right away."
When the news of Li Rui's development of a special drug began to spread, the family fell silent at the same time. Although Ouyang Xin, who was far away in the imperial capital, was unwilling, he was already an outsider at this time, and for the sake of the overall situation, he was also inclined to Li Rui to win, because this was not only in line with the plan he had deployed before, but also laid a certain foundation for future exchanges between the two sides. And Bai Heng, who is in the south of the Yangtze River, is not so open-minded, once Li Rui replaces Shangguan Liang, he will sit in Haizhou and Shanghai, his strength is enough to threaten himself, and putting such a terrible opponent at his own door is what Bai Heng does not want to see. But if at this time, Bai Heng extended a helping hand to Shangguan and He, I am afraid that it would immediately attract Ouyang Xin and Li Rui to join forces to strangle, and the situation would be even more unfavorable, so Bai Heng could only choose to swallow his anger.
The ones who couldn't sit still the most were of course Shangguan Liang and He Zhizhi, the two were arguing in the command room at the moment, like two ants on a hot pot, and fidgeting.
"Brother Shangguan, it's all this time, I don't think we need to quarrel with each other for a little self-interest, right, in this way, I'll take a step back, and all the gold in the banks in Shanghai will belong to you, it's okay, right?"
Shangguan Liang glared at him and said with a smile: "My life is gone, why do you need money?" β
"So, I'm telling you to think about the way back." He Zhizhi said anxiously.
"The way back? Where did the back road come from? Shangguan Liang snorted coldly.
"At this time, you don't need to pretend to be confused with me, hasn't Fusang been eyebrow-to-eye with you? As long as you bring it up and hope that Fuso will provide you with refuge, they will definitely welcome you over. He Zhizhi said, "As long as we get to Fusang, we can make a comeback!" β
Shangguan Liang shook his head and said, "Lao He, you are too naΓ―ve. Fusang Country is a wolf ambition, when I gain power, they are naturally willing to slap me, but now that I am exhausted, do you think I still have value in the eyes of Fusang Kingdom? The Fusang people now pay more attention to the future, and they are evaluating the relationship between Li Rui and the Fusang State after becoming the governor of Shanghai. β
He Zhizhi said: "Even if you have become an outcast, as long as you are here, it is possible for Fusang Kingdom to contain Xun Tiansheng." β
"Lao He, you have been with Xun Tiansheng for so many years, do you think that old fox would not think of this?" Shangguan Liang hung his head and said dejectedly, "Don't struggle, we can't go to Fusang Country, as for the money, you can take it if you want." β
"Brother Shangguan, you are also a generation of heroes, did you just admit defeat like this?" He Zhizhi said angrily.
"Throw in the towel? Hehe. Shangguan Liang snorted coldly, a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
"In my dictionary, there is never a word for defeat!" Shangguan Liang stood up and said, "I'm waiting, waiting for someone!" β
"Who?"
"Mage."
"Mage?" He Zhizhi was stunned, and then suddenly brightened up, and said: "Yes, how did we forget him, he is the one who has the biggest loss, compared to us, he has a deep hatred for Xun Tiansheng!" β
"Zhu Rong has found him, and he has also expressed his willingness to help us." Shangguan Liang said with a smile, "With the help of the 'Demon Eye', Li Rui wants to easily occupy Shanghai." β
"Hehe, and as far as I know, this mage seems to be Li Rui's father-in-law, it's really interesting......" He Zhizhi sneered.
Emergency room of Shanghai Leishen Hospital.
Li Rui was standing outside the emergency room, talking about something with Xie Shuiping and others.
"Li Rui, the patient's condition is not very good now."
"Didn't the miracle drug work?"
"The special drug is only effective for patients with mild symptoms, and it cannot have a good effect on this severe disease in a short period of time."
Li Rui frowned and asked, "Is there no other way?" β
"There's only one way." At this time, Guan Yan said, "That is, to get the original data of the virus, starting from the source, you can crack its mutation mechanism, so as to improve the special drug." β
At this time, Li Rui suddenly thought of someone.
"Okay, I'll figure out a way to do this, you guys go get busy first, and you must ensure the safety of patients."
Immediately, Li Rui left the hospital and dialed a number.
"Hey, Peter, what's going on with the things you asked?"
Peter Qiu said with a smile: "I was about to call you, I already got what you wanted." β
"Where are you, meet and say."
"Old place."
"Okay." 33
Ten minutes later, Li Rui arrived at Jinle Palace alone.
Because of the outbreak of the plague, Jinle Palace is now empty. Li Rui entered the box they used to come to before, and found that Peter Qiu was already sitting inside.
As soon as they met, Peter Qiu threw a USB flash drive and said, "Here, everything is in it." β
"What is it?"
"Evidence that Shangguan Xin and Pan Meiting went to bed."
Li Rui took the USB flash drive and said with a smile: "Well done, but at this juncture, relying on this alone, Shangguan Liang may not be able to do anything to Shangguan Xin, after all, the country is going to be lost, who cares about women." β
Peter Qiu smiled: "I know you will say that, there is still something in it." β
"Oh?"
"There is also evidence of collusion between Shangguan Liang and Shangguan Du." Peter Qiu said, "Shangguan Xin hopes to replace Shangguan Liang as the new head of the Shangguan family with the support of Shangguan Du. β
"But Shangguan Du is dead, what if there is no proof of death?"
"Although Shangguan Du is dead, Pan Meiting is still alive and well." Peter Qiu said, "This woman is not simple, she just persuaded Shangguan Xin to die for her, but she appeared on Shangguan Liang's bed half an hour later. β
"What do you want to say?"
"According to my investigation, I found that this Pan Meiting is by no means a woman who simply relies on beauty and survives by relying on men. Her mother is Yan Xi, and the Yan family used to be a well-known family in Shanghai. Peter Qiu said, "However, the Yan family was lonely after being used by Shangguan Liang. β
"You mean, Pan Meiting's return to Shangguan's house has something to do with the Yan family?"
"That's right." Peter Qiu nodded and said, "Perhaps, from the perspective of the Yan family's purpose, there is a meaning of revenge, but from Pan Meiting's position, she hopes to use the power of the Yan family to achieve her goal." β
"Not only to eradicate Shangguan Liang, but also to put yourself on the throne of the mistress of the Shangguan family?" Li Rui guessed.
"Yes, although Shangguan Xin is well aware of Pan Meiting's calculations, he knows that Shangguan Du has been calculated, but he is just a substitute for the dead. However, Shangguan Xin does not seem to intend to refuse this cooperation. β
"I understand, if Shangguan Xin wants to replace Shangguan Liang, it must not only be his personal ambition, but also have strong supporters behind him." Li Rui analyzed.
"Yes, I secretly investigated Yan Xi a few days ago, and found that this Yan Xi is also very strange, because she has been abroad for the past few years, and she is a recent country, and she has been in contact with the overseas organization 'Oshima Co., Ltd.', so I estimate that she should have a deal with Fuso."
Li Rui smiled, "Fusang Country? Okay, now I've finally figured it out. β
"Oh?"
"It turns out that, in the final analysis, it is the Fuso people who want to change an agent." Li Rui said with a smile, "Shangguan Liang has always been a partner of the Fusang people, but when the Fusang people found out that Shangguan Liang could not be controlled by them, they no longer supported him wholeheartedly, and then looked for a new agent within the Shangguan family. So they used Yan Xi's mother and daughter to sow discord between Shangguan Xin and Shangguan Liang, so as to build Shangguan Xin into their new agent in the Celestial Empire. β
After lying on the chair for a while, Li Rui dialed another phone.
The owner of this call is called Shangguan Xin.
When the phone was connected, Shangguan Xin was at his home, but he looked anxious. Since the fire with her sister-in-law Pan Meiting that day, Pan Meiting has disappeared and has never appeared again. Even if Shangguan Xin went through many channels, he did not find Pan Meiting's whereabouts. This had to make him tremble.
Because he knew in his heart that Pan Meiting, a woman, knew too much. Many of his secrets are clear to Pan Meiting. If these things get out, I'm afraid it will be the end of Shangguan Xin. And Pan Meiting disappeared suddenly, which made him panic all of a sudden.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Shangguan Xin didn't plan to pick it up. But as soon as he thought that it might be Pan Meiting, he immediately picked up the phone again.
Since Pan Meiting's disappearance, he has been waiting for a phone call. According to his judgment, as well as his understanding of Pan Meiting. If it wasn't kidnapped, Pan Meiting would definitely extort a sum of money from him.
"Hey." Connecting the phone, Shangguan Xin said with a gloomy face.
"Shangguan Xin?" Li Rui asked lightly.
"Who are you?" Shangguan Xin frowned and asked with a wary expression.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I know where Pan Meiting is." Li Rui lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then spoke.
Obviously, on the other end of the phone, Shangguan Xin's breathing was much heavier. His face immediately turned a little blue, but there was still a hint of fear.
It seems that Shangguan Xin has understood something......
Some people died, but not completely......
