From Pingchuan to Dongping, they could reach there in three to four hours if they drove fast.
Li Dong and his men set off at 7 o 'clock. If they drove fast enough, they could arrive at around 10 o' clock.
On the way, Li Dong called Li Chengyuan. Li Chengyuan did not rush him. It was good that he was back. Safety was the most important thing.
Everyone could understand that their son was busy.
When it was almost 10 o 'clock, Li Dong's motorcade arrived at Qingyang. They should arrive in an hour or so.
At this time, Li Dong did not know that there were several cars chasing after them.
…
There were three cars chasing after them.
One was Zhuang Fan's car, and the other was his bodyguard's car.
The Zhuang Family was a wealthy family, and Zhuang Fan was the young master of a wealthy family. They had to be careful when they were out.
The last car was Chen Rui's.
Chen Rui did not hire bodyguards. There was no need for them.
He drove behind Zhuang Fan while making a phone call. From the moment they left the hotel, Chen Rui had planned how to play this game of chess.
"Qiqi, do you have time to come to Dongping to watch a big show? The young master of the Zhuang Family and the richest man in the country are fighting over a woman. You can't miss it. "
On the other side of the phone, Chang Qiqi quickly said, "I'll be right there!"
"Remember to bring more people. The young master of the Zhuang Family is very proud. If there are fewer people, they may not be able to fight. But if there are more people, the young master of the Zhuang Family can't afford to lose face. Do you understand what I mean? "
Chang Qiqi smiled and said, "I don't need you to tell me. I will call all the people I can. There are many people who are free. Everyone likes to watch a show."
"That's good. Hurry up. Don't miss it."
"Okay!"
…
After hanging up the phone with Chang Qiqi, Chen Rui thought for a moment and made another call.
He thought that he would not need this move, but he might be able to use it today.
Even if he couldn't do anything to Li Dong, Chen Rui was confident that he could force Li Dong and Zhuang Fan to fight today.
Neither of them were the kind of people who would swallow humiliation. Chen Rui felt that it would not be difficult for the two of them to fight.
No matter who won or lost, it was Chen Rui's victory.
Chen Rui was secretly pleased. No matter how arrogant they were, they were still chess pieces in his hands.
In the entire game, he was the only player.
Whether it was Yu Le, Chang Qiqi, Zhuang Fan, or Li Dong, in Chen Rui's opinion, they were all fooled by him.
Did these people really think that they could humiliate him just because he was in dire straits?
The corner of Chen Rui's mouth curled up slightly. Whoever had the last laugh would be the winner.
…
In the car.
Hu Xiaorui began to doze off. She got up early today and was a little tired after talking for a while.
She dozed off, and Li Dong also closed his eyes and began to rest.
This girl was very talkative, and Li Dong's ears were also tortured.
Just as he was closing his eyes and taking a nap, his phone vibrated.
Li Dong looked at the number and frowned slightly, but he still picked up and smiled. "Lan Yu, what's up?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing?" Zhang Lanyu asked with a faint smile.
Last time at the bar, she was directly rejected by Li Dong. Zhang Lanyu disappeared for a while and did not contact Li Dong again.
Li Dong thought that she would not contact him in the future because she was embarrassed.
He did not expect that she would take the initiative to call him today.
Just as Li Dong was thinking about how to reply, Zhang Lanyu said lazily, "Alright, don't think about how to brush me off. Let's get down to business. That Zhuang Fan guy seems to be following you and is preparing to duel with you. Chang Qiqi and the others have also brought some people to watch the show. They even invited me to go with them. Do you think I should go? Or not go? "
"Duel?"
Li Dong was a little confused. What did she mean? Was Zhuang Fan out of his mind?
"Anyway, that's what I meant. I'm just informing you to be prepared. I'm hanging up."
"Hello …"
"Du du du …"
Li Dong was a little speechless as he held the phone. What's going on?
Why is Zhuang Fan following me?
Looking at Hu Xiaorui beside him, Li Dong had a rough idea.
At this time, Hu Xiaorui also woke up. Hearing Li Dong's words, she could not help but ask curiously, "What duel?"
Li Dong shrugged and said helplessly, "Who knows. I didn't quite believe you when you said that Zhuang Fan is pestering you. Now I believe it. This guy really followed me. It's probably because of this. "
He did not think much about it. He did not think that Zhuang Fan would play the role of a cuckold.
In Li Dong's view, it was not a big deal for Hu Xiaorui to follow him to Dongping. Hu Xiaorui would not follow him to worship the ancestors.
However, he forgot that Zhuang Fan did not know about this.
In fact, even if Li Dong thought of it, he would not explain or care.
Why should he explain to Zhuang Fan?
Who does Zhuang Fan think he is?
As for the duel that Zhang Lanyu mentioned, Li Dong did not take it seriously.
What a joke!
Today, including his own car, there were eight Mercedes Benz and one Bentley. There were exactly ten cars.
Even if there was no one in the car, he still needed drivers. There were ten of them, and these people were from the security company.
In fact, Li Dong had his own professional bodyguard team.
Altogether, there were at least twenty people.
With so many security guards, if Zhuang Fan dueled with him, it would be a fight to the death!
Li Dong really did not believe that Zhuang Fan could bring many people. As long as his brain was not damaged, he would not have the guts.
Of course, at this time, Li Dong felt that the possibility of his brain being damaged was relatively high.
Although not too concerned, Li Dong still said to Tan Yong, "There is an idiot following us. Let everyone pay attention."
Tan Yong nodded silently and whispered a few words into the headset.
As for Hu Xiaorui, she was already excited at this time. She said happily, "Why don't we wait for him? This time, we will teach him a lesson. I was too lazy to care about him the previous few times. He really thinks he is someone important. Li Dong, let's beat him up and throw him to the side of the road. What do you think? "
"Oh no!"
Li Dong said angrily, "I still have to rush back. I don't have the time to play with him. It's fine if they don't chase after us, but we'll talk about it if they do. "
Seeing that Li Dong was not going to wait for Zhuang Fan, Hu Xiaorui rolled her eyes and said to Tan Yong, "Brother Tan, find a place to stop. I want to go to the toilet."
"Ignore her and continue driving."
"Li Dong, I really want to go to the toilet!"
"Let's talk when we reach Dongping."
"I can't wait!"
"Then hold it in."
"Li Dong!"
Hu Xiaorui looked depressed. It had been a long time since she did bad things with Li Dong.
Back then, they could beat up whoever they wanted and smash the door. At that time, Li Dong was still willing to do such things. Now that Li Dong was almost out of sight, how could they have the chance to do bad things together?
Although she was depressed, Hu Xiaorui could only hope that Zhuang Fan would catch up.
Seeing that she kept looking back, Li Dong knew what she was thinking. He was speechless. "Do you really want me to fight with someone? This is a matter of offending people. The more people I offend, the more trouble I will have. Don't you want it to be good? "
"Why are you afraid of him?"
Hu Xiaorui said indifferently. "It's fine if we beat him up. Who does he think he is? Who does he think he is? No one will dare to say anything even if we break his legs. Zhuang Fan is not their old man. Old men can't be beaten up, or else it will be troublesome. But Zhuang Fan, don't worry. I will take care of beating him up. I'm not afraid of him! "
Li Dong could not help but laugh. This girl was not stupid after all. Whoever thought she was stupid was really stupid.
She could see the stakes clearly.
Zhuang Fan provoked Li Dong and stirred up trouble when Li Dong returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. In the past, it was a life and death feud.
At this time, if Li Dong really wanted to beat Zhuang Fan half to death, the Zhuang Family would have nothing to say.
Just like when he slapped Sun Manman twice. How high was Old Man Sun's status? Did he find trouble with Li Dong?
You were in the wrong, and you didn't want to make a big deal out of it. The best way was to keep the peace.
Of course, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. This was for sure.
But was a person who did business, and a big one at that, stupid?
Would the Zhuang Family fall out with Li Dong because of this?
Unless Li Dong killed Zhuang Fan or broke the root of his descendants, there would not be much impact.
Because he understood this, Li Dong did not care too much about Zhuang Fan.
If he really wanted to find trouble, Li Dong did not mind making him suffer. If he did not find trouble, Li Dong was too lazy to fight with him at this time. He did not have the mood.
…
At 10: 40, Chen Jiawan was faintly visible.
Hu Xiaorui was still looking back. She said with some disappointment, "He is not here yet. Don't you know the way?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you give him a call and show him the way?"
Hu Xiaorui quickly said, "Really?"
Li Dong's face darkened. Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. I'm not that bored."
"You are just that bored."
"No way!"
As the two were talking, Tan Yong interrupted softly, "General Manager Li, there is indeed a car following behind. It is coming soon."
"They really caught up. Their speed is not slow."
Li Dong smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "Slow down a little …"
"Li Dong, I know you must want to beat him up!" Hu Xiaorui heard that Li Dong was going to slow down and immediately said happily.
"You think too much. I just don't want to bring these guys home with me. It will save me trouble."
Today's ancestral worship was a big event. Maybe Li Dong did not think it was a big deal, but in the eyes of Li Chengyuan and the Li family, today was a big deal.
At this time, if he brought these troublemakers back, even if Li Dong really did something to him, it would be embarrassing.
Li Dong slowed down, and the people behind accelerated.
Before the motorcade arrived at Chen Jiawan, Zhuang Fan and Chen Rui caught up.
Zhuang Fan's car took the lead, overtaking the motorcade and directly blocking in front of the motorcade. Obviously, he was going to force Li Dong's car to stop.
And Li Dong did not have the time to fight with him. He directly signaled Tan Yong to stop.
As soon as the car stopped, Zhuang Fan in front got out directly and walked towards them.
Zhuang Fan was not a reckless man. He walked over and saw that Li Dong did not get out of the car, but opened the window and looked at him. Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "General Manager Li, I'm sorry. I was a little reckless just now. I will treat you to a meal later."
"That's not necessary. What's the matter, Young Master Zhuang?"
Zhuang Fan glanced at Hu Xiaorui, who was staring at him in the car, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Auntie Sun called me. She will be coming to Pingchuan soon and hopes to have lunch with us. I asked and found out that Xiaorui and General Manager Li are coming here together. So, I had no choice but to come over and talk to Xiaorui. "
This excuse was actually very lousy. If Sun Yuehua really wanted to go back to Pingchuan, would she not inform Hu Xiaorui?
But Zhuang Fan did not care whether the excuse was lousy or not. His purpose was very clear. Hu Xiaorui could not follow Li Dong back to Li Dong's hometown.
As for what Li Dong thought, he did not care.
After Zhuang Fan finished speaking, seeing that Li Dong did not speak, he smiled and said, "General Manager Li, we will not delay you anymore. Xiaorui, get off the car. I'll send you back."
Hu Xiaorui rolled her eyes and said, "Who are you? Do I know you? "
"Xiaorui …"
"Ridiculous. I don't even know you. Why are you calling me so intimately? Disgusting!"
This was not the first time Hu Xiaorui said such words. In fact, Zhuang Fan had also experienced it before.
But there was no one else in the past. Today, in front of Li Dong, Hu Xiaorui did not give him any face. Zhuang Fan's face couldn't help changing.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Zhuang Fan did not stand on ceremony and said in a deep voice, "Hu Xiaorui, mind your image!
Yes, you don't like me. In fact, I also think that you are too childish!
But no matter what, your grandfather and my grandfather have already talked about this matter.
Even if you are not willing, fine. I can talk to my grandfather. But now, you have to go with me!
Our Zhuang family cannot afford to lose our face. You are the same. Don't embarrass the Sun family!
Who are you? Just casually accompany a man to go home to worship the ancestors. You don't care, but I do! "
Hu Xiaorui yawned and said indifferently, "I really don't care. This is my freedom. What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with me if your family is embarrassed? Baffling! If you are talking about marriage, you can go and get married yourself. Besides, my surname is Hu, not Sun. This is really funny. Why should I listen to you? "
Hu Xiaorui originally had a rebellious character. At this time, if Zhuang Fan lowered his stance and promised not to pester Hu Xiaorui in the future, and then persuaded Hu Xiaorui, this lass might really go back to save trouble.
However, Zhuang Fan was talking about the Sun family's face and the Zhuang family's face. Hu Xiaorui really didn't care.
She didn't owe the Zhuang family anything. Why should she care about the Zhuang family?
As for her grandfather, she didn't have a good relationship with them. In the past, her grandfather doted on her, and her uncle doted on her. Hu Xiaorui had a good relationship with them.
But later on, her grandfather quarreled with her father several times. Her uncle also often reprimanded her father.
In addition, that annoying cousin often looked for trouble several times. Hu Xiaorui also felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Her relationship with Hu Ming was even closer than Sun Yuehua.
Sun Yuehua was often not at home, and Hu Ming had been very good to her since she was a child. That kind of father-daughter relationship was not comparable to that of her grandfather and uncle.
However, Elder Sun and Sun Wenhua both looked down on Hu Ming. They often ridiculed him and spoke impolitely.
After a long time, Hu Xiaorui didn't care so much anymore.
Later, she knew that Li Dong hit her cousin in the capital because of her. Her grandfather and Li Dong didn't get along. In addition, her grandfather didn't even ask her this time and arranged a marriage for her.
Again and again, Hu Xiaorui became more and more disappointed and indifferent to the Sun family.
Now that Zhuang Fan used this to threaten her, Hu Xiaorui couldn't be bothered to care about him.
Seeing that Hu Xiaorui didn't take it seriously, Zhuang Fan's face darkened. Then, he looked at Li Dong who didn't speak and said, "General Manager Li, you also saw this matter. It's not that I don't want to give General Manager Li face, but if Hu Xiaorui goes with you, it will be a slap to the Zhuang family's face! General Manager Li, do you think this is appropriate? "
Li Dong nodded and said, "It's not appropriate."
Zhuang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that you know. Unless it's a last resort, he didn't want to really fight with Li Dong.
But then, Li Dong laughed and said, "But what does this matter have to do with me?"
"You …"
Zhuang Fan was speechless. Yes, this matter has nothing to do with Li Dong.
It didn't seem like it.
But to say that it didn't, it wasn't right either. Although it was Hu Xiaorui who didn't want to go, Zhuang Fan knew that if Li Dong really wanted Hu Xiaorui to go, Hu Xiaorui wouldn't refuse.
Zhuang Fan was a little unhappy and said in a deep voice, "General Manager Li, let's not beat around the bush! Today, Hu Xiaorui can go anywhere but your house! If she really goes … "
"If she really goes, what do you want?" Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "Now, you're the one who stopped me. Not only did you steal my car, but you also delayed my business. Then, Xiaorui is willing to go, and I am friends with Xiaorui. Then, do I get to know you? If you want me to chase her away, then I will chase her away. Have you ever considered my feelings and face? Now that I've said so much to you, it's considered giving you an explanation. It's not giving you face, it's giving Elder Zhuang face. As for you … Hehe! "
Li Dong laughed unscrupulously. Who was Zhuang Fan?
Did he know Zhuang Fan?
Zhuang Fan only cared about the Zhuang Family's reputation and his own. When had he ever thought about Li Dong?
If Li Dong really chased Hu Xiaorui away, what would others think?
Many people knew about Hu Xiaorui's feelings for Li Dong.
Even if she didn't have that intention, if Zhuang Fan asked him to chase her away, and Li Dong really chased Hu Xiaorui away, then he would be too useless as the richest man in the city.
Others didn't care what Li Dong thought, and they also didn't care if Li Dong was looking out for the big picture.
When that time comes, others would only say that the Zhuang Family was awesome!
What was Li Dong to them?
Just one word from the third generation of the Zhuang Family was enough to scare Li Dong half to death and chase his friend away.
If word of this got out, would Li Dong still have any face left?
Unless the Old Master of the Zhuang Family was here, and he had to make it sound reasonable. Old Master Zhuang didn't have the face to force Li Dong to chase him away.
Li Dong was still afraid of Old Man Sun and didn't know where to start.
He was not afraid of the Zhuang Family.
You are a businessman, and I am a businessman. Who is more noble than the other?
What happened in the past is in the past. Now that you are a businessman, you have to follow the rules. My business is bigger than yours, and my reputation is bigger than yours. I respect you because of your age. If I ignore you, you have no right to be arrogant.
Being ridiculed and ridiculed by Li Dong without restraint, no matter how good Zhuang Fan's self-restraint was, he was still unbearably angry at this moment!
Gritting his teeth, Zhuang Fan stared at Li Dong and said, "So, General Manager Li doesn't agree to it?"
"What do you think?"
Zhuang Fan ignored him and looked at Hu Xiaorui. "Hu Xiaorui, you have to think about it carefully! If you insist, you will be harming others and yourself! The Sun Family, the Zhuang Family, and even Li Dong have lost face because of your stubbornness! If you really go this time, don't blame me for not making it clear! "
His words were very lethal. Hu Xiaorui was rebellious, but she was not stupid.
After hearing what Zhuang Fan said, she also reacted.
If she really went to Li Dong's side now …
But when she thought about it, Hu Xiaorui felt that something was wrong!
I didn't do anything.
Li Dong went back to worship his ancestors, so I just came to take a look. When Li Dong was done, I wanted to see if I could find time to go out and have fun.
In the end, Zhuang Fan kept putting all the blame on me. Why?
Thinking of this, Hu Xiaorui looked sullen. She gritted her teeth and said, "Get lost!"
