After saying this, Yue Zhengzixiu's expression remained indifferent.
Even when he was leaving, he was very calm and collected. No one could tell that he had just set off such a huge bomb.
In contrast, Pei Qianji was not as calm as Yue Zhengzixiu.
After Yue Zhengzixiu left, Pei Qianji's face became very gloomy. He even ignored the fake compliments of the people around him and left angrily.
Obviously, the two of them were very different in temperament.
However, Yue Zhengzixiu was not as relaxed as he appeared to be.
Although he could take the opportunity to make a big deal out of the Pei family's control, he cared more about his brother's safety.
"Haven't you found him yet?"
His confidant, who was in charge of acting in secret, just shook his head.
Yue Zhengzixiu's heart sank little by little.
But he could not panic now.
Otherwise, he would not be able to save Zitan.
"Go and find him again. Keep a close eye on the Pei family. I'm afraid they have something to do with Zitan's death."
"Yes."
Although he still looked calm on the surface, he secretly clenched his fists.
He hoped that Long Tianyu would be smart enough to hold on until the people he sent found him.
.....
After Yue Zhengzixiu made the shocking suggestion, all the families were shocked and began to have some delusions.
It could be said that on that night, everyone's heart was not at peace.
The temptation of being the chief family was too great.
Those who were powerful naturally thought that they could give it a try. Even those who were not powerful could not help but hope that it would be a fluke.
What if?
If they were lucky enough to obtain the position of the next Chief Family, then wouldn't their family's wealth immediately rise along with the tide?
People in Yuehu City were excited and everyone's mind was filled with this matter.
No one noticed the actions of Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao, a group of outsiders.
Last night, Lin Mengya was quite surprised when she heard the news brought back by Aunt Fang and Uncle Huo.
She was a little surprised by Yue Zhengzixiu's audacity.
Was he not afraid that he would go too far?
At that time, the Yue Zhengjia would no longer be the leader of the Yue Zhengjia, and he, as the leader of the Yue Zhengjia, would probably be blamed to death by the people of the Yue Zhengjia.
But when Long Tianyu heard the news, he just smiled.
"Heh, he's got guts. What a pity."
He felt even more regretful.
For such a person to be confined to such a small place for his entire life was truly a reckless waste of God's gifts.
However, Lin Mengya could not stand his smug look, as if he had seen through all the truths.
She casually glanced at him. "You understand again?"
Long Tianhao did not dare to keep Madam guessing, but he did not like to be too straightforward.
Therefore, he only mentioned it with a smile.
"It's not easy for Yue Zhengzi to be the patriarch."
So?
Lin Mengya thought about it seriously and suddenly understood.
"So what you're saying is that Yue Zhengzi is doing this to make his position more stable?"
It wasn't just this!
Yue Zhengzi's move could be said to be particularly vicious.
In this way, those elders in the Yue Zhengzi's family who refused to give up would probably go crazy.
The first prerequisite to fight for the position of the leader of the family was that it must be a family.
Therefore, the members of the Yue Zhengzi's family, who had been fighting with each other, must first unite against the outside world.
And in the process, Yue Zhengzi would gradually gather all the forces of the Yue Zhengzi's family, and then firmly hold the position of the patriarch in his hand.
It had to be said that this person dared to think and let go. He was extraordinarily courageous.
Lin Mengya admired Yue Zhengzi more and more, and looked forward to the cooperation between them.
After all, what she wanted to play was all exciting and grand.
If the partner was too timid, she might not dare to cooperate with him.
.....
Due to Yue Zhengzixiu's shocking words, the originally three-day clan meeting was extended indefinitely.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao, as outsiders, naturally had to avoid arousing suspicion and not participate.
This made it convenient for her to go out to see the Zhang family after disguising herself the next day.
But before she went out, Long Tianhao was a little worried.
"No matter which family is in trouble these days, you should be careful outside."
He was still worried after just giving her a warning. "Why don't I go with you?"
Lin Mengya quickly stopped him with a kiss.
No, her husband had become more and more clingy recently.
Although she liked it, Aunt Fang and Uncle Huo were not around during the day, and there were two babies at home, so she could not leave the children here.
Moreover, those guys from the Aboriginals had not forgotten about them.
They were still constantly inquiring for information, trying to drag the Gong family into trouble.
Therefore, between her and Long Tianhao, one of them had to stay.
Although he received a comforting kiss from his wife, Long Tianhao still refused to be satisfied.
He held his wife's waist and kissed her hard on her red lips. After a long time, he was willing to let go.
But he still reminded her to put her own safety first, and come back to ask for help if she could not win. Only then did he reluctantly let her go.
.....
In order not to attract those people's attention.
Lin Mengya and the others did not take a carriage or a sedan, but walked out of the city gate.
In fact, this decision saved them a lot of trouble.
At the gate of Yuehu City, the guards were only responsible for maintaining order.
But today, Lin Mengya saw that there seemed to be more guards.
"What's going on?" She whispered to Baisu.
Baisu was also puzzled.
At least when they came back last night, these people were not there.
But they were not restricted in their access.
Lin Mengya felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that those people's gazes were a little too sharp.
It was like a cat catching a mouse.
But they did not do anything, not even search the place.
Lin Mengya was full of doubts. It was not until they left the city gate and met up with her subordinates that she found out the whole story.
"Did the Pei family lose something yesterday?"
The Jackdaw Guard in charge of gathering information nodded, then lowered his voice and said, "Normally, if the Pei family lost something, it's not a big deal for them to be looking for it. However, this subordinate feels that they are not looking for something, but rather, it seems like they are looking for someone. "
Looking for someone?
Lin Mengya became even more curious.
She had dealt with the Pei family a few times.
The behavior of this family was also quite arrogant and savage.
But now that they were at a critical juncture, there must be another reason for them to be looking for them.
She wanted to cause trouble for the Pei family, so she sent people to keep an eye on them and create some trouble for them.
But along the way, they found out that the Pei family was even more ruthless.
.....
There was a narrow path in the forest not far from where they were staying.
Usually, this place was secluded, which was why Long Tianhao had chosen it as his first stop.
But today, there were a few groups of passersby here.
Lin Mengya's hearing had always been outstanding.
So when she heard what sounded like a scream, she stopped in her tracks.
Baisu and the others were stunned as well.
But out of trust in her, no one made a sound. They subconsciously protected her in the middle.
The scream was hurried and shrill, as if it was coming from somewhere far away.
Lin Mengya used the sound to determine the direction.
It seemed to be coming from another direction.
Without thinking, she gestured for them to keep quiet. Then, she pointed in a direction and asked them to split into two groups.
A few of them were left to deliver the items to their lodgings, while the rest followed her to the direction of the sound.
Although they were in the opposite direction, they were already very close to their lodgings.
Usually, no one would come here. But if they were discovered, wouldn't the Zhang family's secret with her be exposed?
She had always been cautious when it came to this kind of problem. She wouldn't let go of any possibility of exposure.
The Jackdaw Guards were professionals. They moved quickly and quietly to the scene of the incident.
It was a large meadow. The dense vegetation had turned into an excellent silencer at this moment.
As soon as Lin Mengya saw the scene inside, she could not help but be slightly stunned.
One of the carriages had already fallen to the ground, and it had even fallen to the ground with a thud.
What made her shudder the most was that there were actually two people lying inside the broken carriage!
It was a grandfather and a grandson.
The gray-haired old man's face was covered in blood, but he was still protecting his grandson, who was three or four years old, in his arms.
They probably didn't manage to escape in time when the carriage flipped over, so they were knocked over together with the carriage, and then rolled out of the broken carriage.
Not far away from them stood two adult men.
But now, they had put away their weapons, looked around, and were about to leave.
"Help, help …"
A weak cry for help came from under their feet.
Lin Mengya could tell that this man was the owner of the scream she had just heard.
The two of them didn't expect this person to have such a strong will to live.
One of them pulled out a knife with a cold expression and was about to continue slashing.
But in the next moment, a hidden weapon appeared out of nowhere and knocked the knife off course.
"Who's there?"
The two of them were immediately on guard.
Lin Mengya knew that once she made a move, she couldn't let them escape.
"Try to catch them alive."
As soon as she gave the order, the Jackdaw Guards who followed her immediately jumped out.
Some of them circled to the back, ready to launch a sneak attack.
The two of them were skilled in martial arts. When they saw that the situation was bad, they wanted to escape.
However, the Jackdaw Guards were too difficult to deal with. They couldn't gain the upper hand.
While they were occupied, Lin Mengya quickly brought Baisu to check on the injured.
Unfortunately, the grandfather and granddaughter had already died from their injuries before they arrived.
