……

Jinghai City, District 1, the ancestral residence of the Xu family.

An unprecedentedly urgent family meeting was held here.

The 14 chairs surround the round table, and all but one in the southeast corner are occupied by people.

At the moment, the atmosphere is very oppressive and heavy.

The Xu family members present were all clouded on their faces, and a lingering haze was shrouded between their eyebrows and eyes.

From time to time, they looked at the only empty chair.

It seems that something is waiting for you.

Didi~

The communicator rang a few times.

The boss of the Xu family glanced at the message, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his face, his fists clenched and gurgled, as if there was a monstrous anger and killing intent burning in his heart!

"Don't wait, the third child is dead." He raised his head and gritted his teeth to the crowd.

The empty chair belongs to Xu Tanqing.

He was absent from this family meeting and will never return.

"Where's the goods?" An old man in a gorgeous robe stood up and shouted, "If he dies, he will die, and what about the goods that he asked him to guard?" ”

"The goods have been transferred." The boss of the Xu family glanced at the old man coldly, and his tone was not good, "Second uncle, my brother is dead, but he is your own nephew, what does it mean to be 'dead and dead'?" Before you speak, please go through your brain! ”

"Humph!"

Hearing that the goods were not exposed, the old man snorted coldly and sat back in his seat.

The rest of the Xu family also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but show a happy look.

As for Xu Tanqing's death, it seems that they didn't care too much.

Contradictions are universal.

Especially for a behemoth like the Xu family, its interior is not monolithic, and there will always be a conflict of interest.

"The dignified District 3 councilor, under the heavy protection of hundreds of bodyguards, can still be assassinated? It's really useless waste, and this matter shouldn't be left to you! ”

At eleven o'clock in the round table, a tall man patted the table and said in a very dissatisfied tone:

"The election of the new speaker of the House of Representatives is imminent, and the result is that the others are gone? What a waste of so many family resources! You might as well push me to the top in the first place! ”

It can be seen that he is very angry and unhappy.

The rest of the Xu family in the room were also very unhappy and had great opinions.

Over the years, in order to support Xu Tanqing to ascend to the position of speaker, the Xu family has spent at least hundreds of billions before and after!!

Vigorously publicize and solicit votes, build political achievements and resumes, dredge relationships, and make connections...... It's just a bottomless pit, super money-burning.

The Xu family has paid so much, and finally ushered in the time to harvest the results.

The person who told me Xu Tanqing is gone?!

How does this make the people of all branches of the family willing? How to be convinced?

"People can't be resurrected after death, and the position of the new speaker has no chance with our Xu family."

On the other side, a woman said in a deep voice:

"Don't make any more extraneous complications, stop the loss in time. Dispose of that shipment immediately and get out of trouble as soon as possible. ”

Buying and selling elves is a business that robs homes and destroys doors!

It's just that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, as long as there are enough interests to drive, this kind of headless thing is not impossible to do.

As long as it's done discreetly and cleanly enough, there won't be any problems.

The Xu family was originally the strongest family in Jinghai City, and their ancestors had several city lords.

But since the fifth generation, it has begun to decline day by day and go downhill.

As of today, not to mention the city lord, even the speaker, the family has not had another one for three consecutive generations.

This time, it was supposed to be their best chance to rebuild the glory of the family!

The Xu family has made a desperate bet, pressed all the chips, and tried their best to cultivate a speaker, so as to lead the family to make a comeback and regain its former glory.

… But now Xu Tanqing is dead.

Just dead!

Half of the corpse was shattered into pieces.

The other half of the corpse was even taken away by the assassins!

The family is destined to miss out on the position of Speaker.

The bamboo basket is empty.

Maybe even Lu Xun and Zhang Xinghai didn't expect that they met by chance, joined hands and casually did a wave of things, and accidentally hit the seven-inch vital point of the Xu family.

It has caused immeasurable losses to this group of big shots!

Years of hard work were destroyed overnight.

"Yes, the deal is interrupted, stop it immediately."

Another member of the Xu family spoke, and said resolutely:

"In half an hour, put those fine ...... Destroy all of that shipment. Don't leave any incriminating evidence behind. ”

"It makes sense, stop the loss in time."

"Another main material is about to be sent to Jinghai, which is also a big trouble. Contact the seller to return the item immediately, the transaction is cancelled. ”

Many people agreed.

There is no profit to be made at the moment, and there is no point in taking risks.

Those goods are time bombs, only wind and waves, no fish.

So destroy it quickly!

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, the boss of the Xu family snorted coldly, and in an unquestionable tone, he tried his best to dispel public opinion and cut off the railway:

"Don't burn, plan as usual, trade continues!"

The voice fell, and the conference room was silent.

Before the other Xu family members could react.

Smack!

The boss of the Xu family slapped his palm and said lightly: "Come in." ”

Crunch~

The door to the conference room opened.

Everyone subconsciously looked at it, and immediately, they were stunned on the spot, and they all showed unbelievable looks.

A man who looked exactly like Xu Tanqing walked in.

He is in a suit and leather shoes, his height, appearance, hairstyle, body movements, and demeanor are completely no different from Xu Tanqing!

"Hehe, I've seen all the adults of the Xu family!"

However, with just one sentence, the other party was exposed.

This "Xu Tanqing" had a flattering and flattering expression, and after coming in, he nodded and saluted to the big names of the Xu family again and again, like a pug wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

"It's ......"

Everyone was amazed and finally reacted.

Scapegoat!

The boss of the Xu family actually planned to use a stand-in to pretend to be Xu Tanqing and participate in the election for speaker!

"Hiss~ It seems... It's not impossible! The second uncle of the Xu family narrowed his eyes, realizing that this plan was indeed very feasible.

Although a stand-in is a stand-in after all, not a family member.

But with the ability of the Xu family, they will definitely be able to handle it to death.

Supporting a puppet councilor to take the throne can also achieve the purpose of the Xu family.

"Is this really going to work? How do you pass the level of verifying your body? There are also doubts.

With the development of science and technology, plastic surgery, changing the body and voice are very simple things, and they can be solved with one operation.

can even build a biomimetic robot that is exactly the same as Xu Tanqing.

But running for Speaker is not a trivial matter, and all kinds of physical tests and verifications are very, very detailed and cautious.

Even if it is a clone of Xu Tanqing, it is difficult to fool around, let alone a stand-in.

"Don't worry, in terms of physical examination, there are others who will help cover it." The boss of the Xu family said lightly, "People want to complete this transaction more than us, and they are even more urgent!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

If that big man is willing to make a move, even if he is a robot, he can pass the physical examination and participate in the election!

"Nothing wrong, right?" The boss of the Xu family looked around and looked at the people at the round table.

Some people decisively nodded in agreement and supported this contingency plan, while others were still thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, but in the end, they ...... None of the Xu family objected.

"Then it's settled, and the deal goes on as usual."

"Rest assured, in two days, another master material will be in hand, and by then, all the turmoil will subside."

The boss of the Xu family smiled, and then his smile quickly converged, and a fierce light surged in his eyes:

"As for the two ants who killed my third brother, let them survive for another two days, and afterwards there will be time to settle accounts with them slowly!!"

……

At the same time as the emergency meeting of the Xu family was held.

On the other side, the 25th district of Jinghai City.

A very secluded basement.

Crunch –

A revolving door disguised as a bookshelf on the wall was pushed open, and the sensor lights in the room automatically lit up.

The light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surroundings.

A "transparent person" covered in water walked into the house, leaving a wet footprint on the ground with every step.

Only the outline of a human figure outlined by water stains can be seen.

It's scary!

Didi~

Zhang Xinghai pressed a few buttons on his left forearm.

The nano system of the optical camouflage suit automatically turned off, and he slowly withdrew from the stealth state, and the body parts gradually appeared.

The nano invisibility cloak shrank and flowed like a stream of water, quickly burrowing into the belt buckle in front of the waistband of his trousers.

"Huh~ This is it, the safe house that has not been used yet, it will definitely not be found, brother, come in."

He shouted back.

"Wait a minute... After coming in... Damn it! ”

A two-meter-six-tall humanoid beast covered in devilish muscles is trying to "squeeze" in through the revolving door.

But his muscle dimension is too big, and his forearms are thicker than an adult's waist, so he can't squeeze in!

It is also inconvenient for Lu Xun to expose his "normal" and "bone king form" vest in front of Zhang Xinghai.

Click!

He simply stretched out his giant arm, grabbed the revolving door, and removed the entire door and set it aside.

He finally got into the safe house, but the ceiling was too low, and he bent his waist, and the horns on his head could reach the ceiling.

So Lu Xun couldn't bear it anymore and complained:

"What the hell is this? You're not a dwarf, a goblin, or a dwarf, can't you make the space bigger? I knew I wouldn't be with you! ”

Zhang Xinghai: "......"

He was a little speechless, thinking to himself, damn it, is this a small local problem? It's obvious that you're too big!

"Where is the 'super healing drug' you just mentioned?" Lu Xun's huge buttocks slammed to the ground, and then urged:

"Quick, wipe on the hour."

After escaping from the headquarters building through the secret passages, the two left Ward 3 via the Ring River.

should have parted ways, but Zhang Xinghai proposed to let Lu Xun go to the safe house with him, where there are very awesome special medicines, and by the way, discuss the Xu family and those elves.

Lu Xun thought about it and agreed.

Because he is now covered with wounds all over his body, and there are more than 300 wounds, large and small! It's even more exaggerated than last time.

Gunshot wounds, sword wounds, burns...... Hung all over the body, shocking.

Although Lu Xun in the form of a ghost and god has an extremely strong vitality, and he has shed a few kilograms of blood, he still feels in good condition, and there is nothing uncomfortable.

But once he returns to normal, he will only have a third-level vitality and will be affected.

So we still have to deal with it.

Otherwise, when I get home, I will be scared to death by my aunt!

My aunt's eyes are old, and I can't hide it.

Lu Xungang promised her not to cause trouble again, but only a few days later, she was very scarred again.

I must not let my aunt know this time!

Wait for the wound to heal before going home.

After weighing, he followed Zhang Xinghai.

I'm not afraid that the other party will have bad intentions towards him, anyway, Zhang Xinghai can't beat him!

The other party said that there is a super special medicine provided by Tiewei, which can heal quickly.

What about more than 300 wounds?

Tomorrow is another good man!
