Shen Manjun managed to restrain her anger with great difficulty. She coldly stared at Li Mubai, pursed her lips and said, "Second Brother, although I'm a bit tired from time to time, I don't think I can't persevere. On the contrary, Second Brother, you have just made a great contribution to the Zhao Family, so you should take a good rest now. After all, the Zhao Family will still need to rely on you for many things in the future. Don't tire yourself out. "
"Second Brother's life is tiring. It doesn't matter, "Li Mubai said lightly. "Furthermore, according to my investigations, even though Chen Chong is already dead, his subordinates are still unconvinced and are currently plotting revenge. Therefore, I must protect the Zhao Family to prevent those extremists from taking advantage of us. "
Every reason that Li Mubai came up with was irresistible. Not to mention Shen Manjun, even a cunning old fox like Xiao Zheng secretly sighed that this old fox was really difficult to deal with. It was obvious that he wanted to force the Zhao Family to abdicate and hold the power of the Zhao Family tightly in his hands, but the words he said seemed to be thinking for the Zhao Family and Shen Manjun. If it was someone with slightly lower EQ and IQ, they would have been fooled on the spot.
"Master Li. If you just want to protect the Zhao Family. Why did you bring so many people in the middle of the night? "Xiao Zheng asked aggressively. "I heard that he brought no less than a hundred people?"
Xiao Zheng's question was very sharp, but Li Mubai had predicted all the possibilities before he came. Therefore, he could answer Xiao Zheng's questions fluently.
"When Chen Chong was alive, he frequently visited the Zhao Clan. No one could guarantee that there weren't any of his men among the security personnel. If there really is, the two sides will work together from the inside and outside, and we will be in an extremely dangerous situation. Even foster father's safety is not guaranteed, "Li Mubai said earnestly.
"So you need your people to take over the security?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"This is the only way to ensure the purity of the security system. Li Mubai said with a serious look on his face.
"You're right." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Logically speaking, when there's only one force in any position or department, it will always be more effective. But I have a worry — if this power is not used by the Zhao Family, but only by you, the Zhao Family will not be able to use it. If they had impure intentions, or if they had other ideas, they would not be able to escape. If Shen Manjun agrees to your request, won't she be inviting a wolf into the house? "
These words had already made the relationship between the two sides clear!
It also instantly tore apart Li Mubai's disguise!
Pa!
Li Mubai slapped the tea table and leaned forward slightly. He looked down at Xiao Zheng and said, "Are you doubting my loyalty to my adoptive father?"
"I'm just stating the facts. Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and replied with a question. "Master Li, if you were in our shoes, don't you think we should be worried?"
"You guys?" Li Mubai frowned slightly and said unhappily. "Xiao Zheng, since when can you call yourself a member of the Zhao Clan?"
Xiao Zheng felt that Li Mubai was too wretched and despicable for not forgetting to correct his faulty wording even when the negotiation was in such an intense state. He smiled faintly and said mysteriously, "My relationship with Shen Manjun is not something you can know."
After saying that, he held Shen Manjun's plump and seductive waist with a victorious smile on his face.
Li Mubai frowned and said, "Even so, it's not your turn to speak here."
"What about me?"
Although it was the first time she was held in Xiao Zheng's arms, and although this feeling made her very greedy. But at this moment, as the daughter of the Zhao Family's Fourth Master, she had to show something and must be determined to fight against all the wolves!
"Can I speak?" Shen Manjun asked, enunciating each word.
"Of course. All the decisions I make are based on your happiness. "Li Mubai said generously.
"In that case, I want to tell you a few things." Shen Manjun paused, then stared straight at Li Mubai and said. "First. I've already given the Zhao family's safety to Zhao Qingyun. Second, father once told everyone that apart from Zhao Qingyun, no one can stay overnight in the Zhao family, not even for a single day. Third, second brother, you're getting old, and your energy is not what it used to be. It's time for fourth brother to stand up. Whether it's for you, me, or the Zhao family, this is the best choice. "
Shen Manjun looked at Li Mubai's increasingly twisted face and said word by word, "Fourth — — second brother, your surname is not Zhao."
Second brother.
Your surname is not Zhao!
But this is the Zhao family!
We're also discussing the Zhao family's matters!
You're an outsider, what right do you have to talk so arrogantly here?
This is the Zhao family's matters, what does it have to do with you!?
These words were meant to hurt, but they were also the most fatal!
It could be seen that Li Mubai didn't care about the first three points, even when Shen Manjun mentioned that he was getting old and should retire. Even when he was only forty, in the prime of his life. He didn't have much of an emotional fluctuation.
But the fourth point, which was also the last point, completely angered Li Mubai and stepped on his tail.
Yes!
That's right!
Just because his surname wasn't Zhao! So no matter how much he contributed to the Zhao family, he was just a dog of the Zhao family, a watchdog that would come and go at a moment's notice!
Why!?
Why couldn't he ever be the person in charge of the family? Why couldn't he get the rewards he deserved, even though he had done more than anyone else?
Li Mubai fell silent.
After a long silence, he slowly stood up and pointed at his confidants behind him. He pointed at the dark crowd that could not be clearly seen in the living room under the night sky. "I have people, money, status, and everyone supports me."
"What about him?" Li Mubai asked. "What does Zhao Qingyun have? Him in charge? Little sister, aren't you afraid that the Zhao family will be destroyed in his hands? "
Shen Manjun saw that Li Mubai could not hold it in any longer and was on the verge of collapse. She could not help but sneer and also stood up. She turned her head slightly and said to the closed door of the side hall, "Uncles, Li Mubai said that no one supports Zhao Qingyun."
Ka-cha.
As soon as Shen Manjun's voice fell, the door opened with a sound. Then, one by one, old people who were similar in age to Mister Zhao but were highly respected in the Zhao family group came out.
More than half of this group of people had already retired to the second line and entered the stage of retirement. But Li Mubai clearly knew that this group of people were the old people who had followed Mister Zhao from the earliest days. Not only did they have an extraordinary status in the Zhao family, but even Mister Zhao respected them.
For a long time, Li Mubai had thought of every way to rope them in, hoping to get their support. As a matter of fact, among the ten elders of the Zhao Family who couldn't walk very well, at least six of them had taken his money and expressed their support for him, both openly and secretly.
But at this moment, they listened to Shen Manjun's orders and walked out of the side hall, standing opposite him.
"We support Zhao Qingyun."
More than ten Zhao family elders said in unison, "Li Mubai. You should take your people back. Always leave a way out, there will still be room for us to meet in the future. "
"Leave a way out!?"
Bang!
Li Mubai kicked the coffee table, the glass surface of the coffee table immediately shattered. Li Mubai's face was cold as he glanced at the elders standing in front of him and shouted coldly, "A group of old things who need help to walk, you want to turn the situation around? Pei! "
Ka ka ka ka!
With his order, more than twenty confidants behind him immediately pulled out their pistols and aimed at the elders and Shen Manjun who was sitting on the sofa like a vicious cobra.
"If we don't come to an agreement today, no one can walk out of the door!"
