Chapter 390 Turnover
"Gu Lie, let's go!" When Dehe saw him frowning and meditating, he couldn't help reminding him.
Gu Lie looked up at him. At first glance, he was expressionless. When he looked closely, he seemed to have a deep meaning, which made Dehe a little confused. Just then, he grinned and said, "Let's go. I happen to have something to discuss with the patriarch!"
The lights of Chen's mansion were brilliant at night, and the four headlights at the door covered dozens of meters nearby, and even took away the spotlight of the moonlight on his head.
The same is true in Chen's mansion. There are lights everywhere, shining like the day, completely dispelling the night in front of his eyes.
"The owner is waiting for you inside!" Daihe didn't even enter the arch this time. He nodded slightly and turned away.
Gu Lie smirthed his mouth, always having a bad feeling, but he couldn't say what was wrong. But he knew that it was a lot of bad luck to meet Chen Zongbao this time. The old man's patience has been almost exhausted. If he can't give a definite answer, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out of the door of the Chen family tonight.
Step in, the trickle of water fell on the rockery in the middle of the courtyard, and there were a few lights below, which felt very modern.
"Gu Lie, come in!" Chen Zongbao's voice came from the small building, less enthusiasm in the past and a little more indifferent.
Gu Lie walked in with a smile on his face. The two chairs on the left and right sides of the square table were removed, and there was only one teacup on the table. From the decoration, it can be seen that Chen Zongbao was going to force him to have a showdown, otherwise how could he not even give him a cup of tea?
"Is there anything important to discuss with the patriarch Chen coming to me so late?" Gu Lie asked knowingly and sat on the chair with a smile.
Chen Zongbao didn't smile at all. He said in a low voice, "You are running to the city lord too often these days..." He picked up the teacup and blew it gently twice, but his eyes were staring at Gu Lie.
"Of course, you have to be diligent, otherwise how can you find out accurate information?" Gu Lie laughed and said, "Isn't Chief Chen even stingy with a cup of tea for me?"
Chen Zongbao laughed drily and slapped hard. The housekeeper hidden in the dark immediately gave him a cup of tea.
Looking at the needle-shaped tea hanging vertically in the water, Gu Lie fell into silence. The tea was coming, but he did not dare to drink it. Chen Zongbao planned to force himself to make a statement. Maybe he would put some medicine in the tea and had to prevent it.
"Drink it. It's all freshly rinked tea. It's very fresh!" When Chen Zongbao saw that he wanted to drink tea, he reminded him in a low voice. At the same time, he was also laughing in his heart. He was afraid that he would drug himself!
"I'm suddenly not thirsty!" Gu Lie smiled and said, "Let's get to business!"
Chen Zongbao nodded and said, "What have you found out?"
"Pagator Chen wants to replace the position of the city owner, and the city owner also wants to get rid of the patriarch quickly!" Gu Lie is serious.
"Of course I know this, otherwise I would not ask the Luo family to use the nine-level spiritual master!" Chen Zongbao looked like he had known for a long time.
"Only the patriarch knows my true identity, but the city owner doesn't know it. He always thought I was a human adventurer! So..." Gu Lie laughed twice, "He wants to ask me to assassinate the patriarch, and then let the Chen family fall into civil strife for the patriarch. At that time, he can regain the actual control of Huaicheng!"
With a bang, Chen Zongbao put the teacup heavily on the table and snorted coldly, "Billy Song is very beautiful! But I'm quite good at choosing people. It's difficult for others to get here easily except you!" He looked at Gu Lie with his eyes.
Gu Lie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Povereer Chen doesn't have to look at me. I don't plan to cooperate with Billy Song. Besides, I still need the help of the patriarch!"
Chen Zongbao suddenly laughed strangely, no matter how hot the water in the teacup was, he picked it up and drank it up. Then he said, "Those two people already have eyebrows!"
"Really?" Gu Lie said in amazed voice that his expression was not fake at all, but really excited, and finally there was a clue.
Chen Zongbao nodded and said, "They were indeed picked away when they entered the city. The buyer is Qingcheng, which is far southwest of Huaicheng, which is one of the more well-known cities in the western continent."
"Qingcheng..." Gu Lie firmly remembered the name of the city.
"Don't worry, I have arranged someone to do it. At worst, just spend more money to buy it back!" Chen Zongbao smiled. This was the first normal smile tonight. He thought he had taken the initiative!
"Thank you, patriarch!" Gu Lie breathed a sigh. Since there is news about Duo Ming's father and daughter, it seems that the partner will be changed to the Chen family.
"Don't worry, I guess when I sit in the position of the city owner, they will almost be picked up!" Chen Zongbao said lightly.
How can Gu Lie not understand? He is threatening him with this. If he doesn't help him sit in the position of the lord of the city, he will never see Duoming's father and daughter.
"The message has been sent, and I believe there will be a reply soon!" Gu Lie smiled and said, "Punuch Chen needs to be a little patient. Even in my Luo family, the ninth-level spiritual master does not mean that he can be invited to move. Those old stubborn people are used to being good and will not leave the central continent easily!"
Chen Zongbao also smiled and said, "I naturally understand this, so I'm not in a hurry!" He dragged the endings of the last three words very long, which meant to warn Gu Lie that he was not in a hurry, and you should not be in a hurry.
In contrast, Gu Lie is naturally anxious. He hasn't seen Duo Ming's father and daughter for a long time, and he doesn't know how they are doing. Gu Lie made up his mind that as long as he found them, no matter what happens in the future, he will never let them be arrested again!
"I don't know if the patriarch has anything else to do. If not, I'll go back first!" Gu Lie said goodbye and left.
"Don't worry, I'll introduce someone to you later!" Chen Zongbao stretched out his hand and motioned him to sit down.
The two chatted. Not long after, a string of footsteps sounded behind him. Gu Lie turned his head and saw that it was a young man who was nearly 20 years old, with a slender face and a ruddy face, giving people a kind of vigorous impression.
"Qi Rui, let me introduce to you. This is Gu Lie, a member of the Luo family in the central mainland. He has been traveling to the mainland and has been visiting our Chen family recently." Chen Zongbao stood up and introduced.
Gu Lie can see that he attaches great importance to the young man named Qi Rui in front of him. These days, he only introduces himself to him.
"Qi Rui?" Gu Lie suddenly thought that Billy Song had told himself that Chen Zongbao's most valued youngest son seemed to be Chen Qirui!
"Hello, I'm Chen Qirui!" Chen Qirui is very polite, his voice is very gentle, and slightly neutral. At first glance, it is really difficult to distinguish between men and women.
"The first batches of slaves were handled by Qirui, so I assigned this matter to him, and I believe there will be a result soon!" Chen Zongbao said.
"Please!" Gu Lie said politely.
"No trouble, Mr. Gu Lie is a distinguished guest of the Chen family. Naturally, this little thing is nothing!" Chen Qirui looked at Gu Lie, his eyes suddenly flashed twice, and immediately returned to normal.
