On the wide and flat road, two taxis quickly headed toward the Miao Family's manor. In the front taxi, the fat driver glanced at Tan Xiu and Xue Yu through the rearview mirror. After turning down the music in the car, he let out a hollow smile and said, "We're about to reach the road outside the Miao Family's manor. I'll drop you off at the crossroads. You only need to walk for about a kilometer to reach the gate of the Miao Family's manor."
Tan Xiu raised his eyelids and said, "Take us directly to the gate of the Miao Family's manor."
The fat driver forced a smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to take you there, Little Brother! The road outside the gate of the Miao Family's manor is off-limits to outside cars. Anyone with a bit of common sense in Ning City knows about this matter. "
"Are the Miao Family bandits?" asked Tan Xiu with a strange expression. "Why are they blocking the road?"
The fat driver shook his head and sighed, "Not only are the Miao Family not bandits in Ning City, but they're also a very famous philanthropic family. The main reason is that the road was built by the Miao Family themselves, and there's only the Miao Family in the vicinity. Of course, it's also because of something that happened many years ago. "
Tan Xiu's interest was piqued and he smilingly asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"This …" The fat driver hesitated.
On the front seat, Mo Awu took out a few hundred-yuan bills and put them on the dashboard, saying, "Our Boss asked you to speak, so tell him."
The fat driver's spirit shook and he smilingly said, "It's not a big deal, actually. It's just that the Miao Family was robbed many years ago. I remember that the news was that a very precious family heirloom of the Miao Family was stolen by the thieves. Since then, the entire manor of the Miao Family has been installed with surveillance cameras and there are many Miao Family's security guards patrolling the surroundings. Gradually, no one uses the road repaired by the Miao Family anymore. "
Tan Xiu suddenly understood and smilingly said, "Master, just take us directly to the gate of the Miao Family's manor! Don't worry, it'll be fine. "
"Don't trouble me, Little Brother," said the fat driver helplessly. In the past, there was also someone who drove a car to the Miao Family's gate. He was a taxi driver just like me. As a result, I was beaten up by the Miao family's security guards. Although the Miao family paid a sum of money for my medical expenses and nutrition, I … "
"Don't worry about it." Tan Xiu smiled. "I'll smash their gate if the Miao Family's security guards dare to touch you. Haha … I'm just joking. Actually, I'm Miao Wentang's friend. He knew we were coming. I also told him that I would take a taxi to the Miao Family's house. "
The fat driver forced a smile and said, "Please don't joke with me, Little Brother. Miao Wentang is the head of the Miao family and the big boss of the Miao Group. He's the person with the highest status in the Miao family. You and him … No, no, don't misunderstand, little brother. I'm not looking down on you. It's just that I drove the car to the entrance of the Miao Family's villa. It's not a joke. You, just let me go. "
Tan Xiu's brows raised.
After noticing Tan Xiu's expression, Mo Awu, who was sitting on the front seat, instantly grabbed a dagger and put it on the fat driver's neck. Then, he coldly said, "My Boss told you to drive there, so you drove there. Else, the Miao Family's security guards don't need to do anything to you. I can kill you myself. "
The fat driver shivered and hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Can you … can you take the dagger away? I'll go. "
Mo Awu coldly snorted and took back the dagger.
The fat driver glanced at Tan Xiu again through the rearview mirror and secretly despised him. Although he knew that Tan Xiu seemed to have brought several bodyguards with him this time, but what kind of existence was the Miao Family? It was the biggest and strongest family in Haiqing Province. Did a young man like him really think he had a lot of face?
Quickly.
He communicated with the taxi driver through the intercom and drove the car to the east-west road in front of the Miao Family's gate.
"Huh?"
A surprised expression suddenly appeared on the fat driver's face after driving for about a kilometer. He had never seen most of the Miao Family's high-ranking members before, but he had seen Miao Wentang countless times on TV and in the newspapers.
'This is strange!
"Could it be that my eyes are playing tricks on me? Why do I see the Miao Family's Patriarch, Miao Wentang?
"Why is he standing in front of the gate? It seems like he's here to welcome some important people? '
The fat driver subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Tan Xiu. He was secretly shocked. 'Could it be that the Miao Family's Patriarch, Miao Wentang, and the people around him are here to welcome the passengers I'm driving?'
Creak …
The taxi stopped at the Miao Family's gate.
Miao Wentang, who had been waiting for a long time, strode to the first taxi and quickly opened the back seat's door. He was slightly stunned when he saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman inside. Immediately after, he bent down to look at the woman's side and laughed aloud, "You scared me, Brother Tang. I thought I picked up the wrong person!"
After Xue Yu got off, Tan Xiu also got off from the other side. He smiled at Miao Wentang and walked around the front of the car to give him a big hug. Then, he said with a smile, "Brother Miao, you don't know the others, but you should know Xue Yu, right?"
"I do, Brother Tang. You're really lucky," said Miao Wentang with a smile. "I'd be blind if I didn't know such a great beauty like Miss Xue! Miss Xue … ah, no, I should call her sister-in-law. "
Xue Yu nodded with a smile.
Tan Xiu glanced at the Miao Family's gate about a dozen meters away and forced a wry smile. "Brother Miao, I wouldn't have greeted you in advance if I knew you would make such a big scene. We're brothers, so there's no need to make such a big scene! "
"You can't blame me for this." Miao Wentang's smile was particularly bright. "You can only blame yourself for having such a resounding reputation, Brother Tang. The other Miao Family members are all eager to see you! I just told my sister to clean up the guest room, but who knew that everyone would come here after hearing about it. "
Tan Xiu shook his head with a smile. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something and looked at the dumbfounded and shocked fat driver who got off the driver's seat. He then said with a smile, "Brother Miao, let's make it clear that this driver didn't take the initiative to pull us to your gate. It was Awu who put a dagger on his neck, so he had no choice but to drive here. You have to tell your security guards not to beat him up. "
Miao Wentang stared blankly and immediately forced a wry smile. "Since when did my Miao Family have such a fierce reputation that even taxi drivers don't dare to come here? Damn, I've really lost my face in front of Brother Tang. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell him. "
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile as he looked at the fat driver and said, "Master, I was a bit too aggressive before. Please forgive me!"
The fat driver shuddered violently and shook his head like a rattle drum. He hurriedly said, "No, no, no. Ah … no need, no need. You're Virtuous Miao's honored guest, so you're also our Ning City's honored guest. I, I, I … I can't accept your money. "
After saying that …
He turned around and was about to go back to the car to get the money.
"You deserve it, Master," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Alright, we've arrived, so you can go and do your business!"
Not far away.
Many security guards of the Miao Family gathered together. They were shocked and speechless when their Patriarch, Miao Wentang, personally opened the car door for Tan Xiu. After the exchange between Miao Wentang and Tan Xiu, they could feel that their Patriarch seemed to be showing goodwill to the other party … No, it should be said that he was fawning on him.
After coming back to their senses, they gathered together and whispered.
"Who is he? To think that he has such a face to make our Patriarch personally open the car door for him? "
"Which Great God is this? He looks so young, but why do I feel that he's a bit familiar? "
"I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing in my dreams if the Patriarch personally opens the car door for me."
"This honored guest's background is definitely very powerful."
"…"
Soon after …
Under Miao Wentang's introduction, Tan Xiu got to know the core members of the Miao Family and entered the Miao Family Manor under their hospitality.
"Brother Tang, why do I see one of your men looking injured?" Miao Wentang asked in a low voice as he walked side by side with Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "I just received a subordinate. He's indeed injured."
"What happened?" Miao Wentang was confused.
"I do have an important matter to deal with in Ning City this time," said Tan Xiu with a light smile. "His injury is related to my purpose of coming here. Let's go inside first. "
Miao Wentang immediately nodded.
Inside the manor, there was an orderly arrangement of villas. Among them, the Miao Family had a VIP building with the highest grade. Miao Wentang, Miao Fengling, Tang Xiu, and Xue Yu were sitting in the living room on the second floor. As refreshments, fruits, and fragrant tea were served, the attendants quickly left.
"What's the situation, Brother Tang?" asked Miao Wentang with a smile.
Tan Xiu didn't mention the purpose of his visit and asked instead, "Brother Miao, as far as I know, there's an Occult Family in Ning City, the Lian Family, right?"
Miao Wentang's expression moved and he nodded. "That's right. The Lian Family is indeed in Ning City. Could it be that your visit this time is related to them? "
"It's not related to them. I'm here because of them," said Tan Xiu. "Brother Tang, we're all on the same side, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I wanna ask you, how much do you know about the Lian Family? "
Miao Wentang pondered for a moment and then said, "The Lian Family is a big family in Ning City with a very deep heritage. To be honest, though my family is known as the number one family in Haiqing Province and even the number one family in Ning City, there's still a gap between us and the Lian Family in terms of heritage. The Lian Family has been operating in Ning City for hundreds of years. Outsiders may not know about it, but I'm crystal clear about it. The Lian Family is very strange, and even I don't want to provoke them. "
"Two tigers on the same mountain?"
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes.
"I understand what you mean." Miao Wentang sighed. "That's why I find it strange. It's reasonable to say that my family is very powerful in Ning City and shouldn't coexist with such a powerful family like the Lian Family in Ning City. But this kind of thing has happened for hundreds of years. Moreover, we've been getting along well with each other and no one is hostile to each other. "
