Chapter 351 The Desire of Power
Lu's back house, fourth floor, study.
An old man was sitting in front of the wide French window, looking out of the window in a tarduous way, with a dull expression and empty eyes. He should have been very tall when he was young, but at this moment he was overly thin, and his slightly rickety body made him look old and lifeless. It's just that occasionally a strange look flashes in his turbid eyes, which seems to show that his soul still exists in this body.
Li Weidong stood silently behind him at this time, looking at his old and thin back, with some pity in his eyes.
"Ouyang Fire is dead."
"Oh."
"I can't ask who is the person behind the extermination case."
"Oh?"
He was not surprised by Lu Bohan's first words. Ouyang Liehuo broke his hand, broke his arm, and was shot in the leg. These three serious injuries were enough to kill him. Coupled with the trap set deliberately, he finally failed, and his psychological breakdown could only make him die faster. But what surprised Li Weidong was the second sentence. With Lu Bohan's mind, can't he fight against an Ouyang fire that was forced to a dead end?
More than 50 clan relatives of the Lu family were killed overnight. This kind of bloodshed case can not only be done by people like Ouyang Liehuo and Chu Tianshu. At best, the two of them are just moles. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? If this person is not found out, it will always be a time for the Lu family. Bomb!
Chu Tianshu is dead, and the only breakthrough left falls on Ouyang Liehuo. He wants to force him to say the mastermind behind the scenes. His son Ouyangzhao is undoubtedly the best chip. Although this practice is a little despicable and vicious, it is undeniable that it is the most direct and effective method. Li Weidong does not think that people like Lu Bohan will be kind to those who betray him, or do not expect it at all.
Lu Bohan obviously sensed his doubts, smiled bitterly and said, "I have promised him that as long as I say the master behind the scenes, I will let his son Ouyangzhao live. What I didn't expect was that he refused. He died one step ahead of his son and killed himself. Although I had prepared the best surgeon for him, I still couldn't save his life.
Li Weidong said lightly, "I understand. Ouyang Liehuo doesn't want to save his son, but he has completely lost his trust in your promise.
Lu Bohan was silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Actually, this time, I really plan to let Ouyangzhao go, but it's a pity that he has a deep understanding of me."
"Is that right?" Li Weidong showed a trace of ridiculence at the corners of his mouth and said slowly, "I think maybe Ouyang Fire has guessed why you pretend to be a vegetative person."
Lu Bohan's shoulder suddenly shook and said, "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
Li Weidong sneered and said, "It's not interesting. I just thought of something more interesting. There was a man who had been betrayed by the closest people, so he no one believed it anymore. It was not until his old age that he was terminally ill, and his family suddenly suffered a disaster. He knew that there must be a mole among his men, but he deliberately pretended to be unconscious, and he was out of the matter. He watched his men plotting up and die one by one..."
Lu Bohan suddenly turned around, and a pair of always empty and turbid eyes suddenly shot a sharp light. He stabbed Li Weidong like a blade and whispered, "Do you mean the old man?"
"What do you think?" Li Weidong was not afraid at all. Facing his eyes, he said word by word, "Mr. Chen can't be said to have no scheming. Unfortunately, he was too conceited and wanted to find out the mole, but the fake will gave Ouyang Liehuo a chance to take advantage of it. Since he dares to make an article on his will, of course, he has privately obtained your consent, at least with your acquiescence. Maybe Boss Chen didn't count the ambition of Ouyang Fire, but what kind of person are you, how can you think of it? But you deliberately didn't wake up Boss Chen, watching him become the first victim of the Lu family's bloody case!"
Lu Bohan's thin lips were tightly squeezed and he didn't say a word. Every wrinkle on his thin and almost discoloured face seemed to have become deeper, and his face was as pale as paper.
"Chen Feng died, He Shouzheng died, and then Lu Yanghao and Chu Tianshu. These people fell in front of you one by one, but you can still be indifferent. If Lu Laoqi hadn't woke me up with the note to me before he died and exposed the conspiracy of Ouyang Fire in time, then the next funeral item would have been the third master Lian Qinghou! Or from the moment of Boss Chen's death, you know that this death game is inevitable. You don't trust anyone at all. Take the opportunity to eradicate the four King Kongs, including Lu Yanghao, and all those who may be a threat to the Lu family! The old man is really cruel and decisive, which makes me have to admire the five bodies to the ground, but this method is too poisonous!"
Lu Bohan stared at Li Weidong. After a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, very good. It seems that I really didn't choose the wrong person this time. Li Weidong, you seem to be smarter than I thought. You are a person who can always surprise others.
"Choose?" This word made Li Weidong frown and said, "What does this mean? I don't understand."
Lu Bohan did not answer, but sighed gently, turned his head and continued to look out of the window and said, "Do you have a cigarette? Can you give me one?"
This old guy is already in the terminal stage of cancer. It's the same whether he smokes or not. Li Weidong hesitated for a moment, but still took out the root of Zhongnanhai and handed it to him and lit it for him. Lu Bohan took two slams. As soon as he spit out half of it, there was a violent cough. The snot and tears flowed out, and it took him a long time to stop.
"Time flies. In a blink of an eye, I have spent forty years in this study." Lu Bohan's voice was very low and a little hoarse. It sounded like an indescribable depression. "I like to sit here quietly and look out of the window. Those buildings, streets, and pedestrians and vehicles coming and going. Looking down from this angle, it always makes me feel that the whole city is mine. Someone is worshipping at my feet.
"In the past few days, I pretend to be a vegetable every day without saying a word, but I remember my life all the time in my mind. I even think that no matter how beautiful and climb to a higher position in life, it is inevitable to die. Is it worth intrigue or not? But just now, the moment I walked out of the basement and sat back here, I found that I couldn't give up all this. I know that whether it is life or death, the desire for power has penetrated into every drop of my blood and every inch of bone marrow!"
"You know, 40 years ago, I was a true slave of the Lu family, a bitch. I had to be careful all the time, and I would be looked down on everywhere. Although I am the eldest son, I am an illegitimate child. My father had an affair with his sister-in-law and accidentally had me. Shortly after I was born, the adultery between the two was exposed. The woman committed suicide in shame, but left me in the world. Because of this matter, my father and uncle and brother turned against each other and completely broke up. Although I lived with my father, he gritted his teeth with hatred every time he mentioned me, because for him, I always represented the shame that he could not wash away.
"My father later married a wife and four concubines and gave birth to three sons, Lu Zhongkai, Lu Shu'an and Lu Jiyuan. I will never forget these three people! It's also my father's flesh and blood, but they are simply inferior to me. I'm always a wild seed in their eyes, like a dog, only worthy of wagging my tail with them and begging for mercy! They often teamed up to beat me black and blue. Once I couldn't help beating them back, but I was hung on the beam by my father's women for a whole day and a night, and I almost died like that!"
"I once ran away from home, but I was either hungry or beaten and chased by wild dogs. In the end, I could only return to the Lu family. From that time on, I knew that there was a thing in the world called power. If you don't have power, you will be bullied and humiliated wherever you go. I soon learned to be obedient. I no longer regarded myself as my father's son, but as a dog to please my three younger brothers and everyone in the Lu family, even an insignificant subordinate.
"I only studied for two years, and then I was kicked out by my father and went to the jewelry store of the Lu family to work as a handyman. An eleven-year-old child does more than an adult and is more tired than an apprentice, but I don't have a penny. The Lu family's Ruifeng and the old name are on Queen's Avenue below. At that time, my father was sitting in this study. Looking down from here, you can see that his own flesh and blood are making cows and horses, being bullied!"
"I get through these days day by day. As I grow up, I do more and more things. Although my father hates me and hates me, he wants to squeeze out my value to the maximum extent. At the age of 17, for some political reasons, the Lu family's business in the mainland encountered unprecedented setbacks, so I took the initiative to ask my father to help and smuggled to the mainland. At that time, I was like a horse, holding my head to work hard and bleed all day long, but the advantage it brought to me was that I gradually ate through the business of the Lu family and attracted many cronies, such as Chen Feng, who was in prison in Guangzhou, and Lian Qinghou, who wandered in Harbin.
"Un until I was thirty-three years old, the opportunity finally came, and the conflict between my father and my uncle intensified again. This time, my uncle actually won over several other major families of the Hakka gang and wanted to kill my father! My three younger brothers, who have been well-dressed since childhood, are no different from waste. At that time, I had accumulated enough strength to finally help my father bring down my uncle in one fell swoop. It was not until then that my father realized the importance of me, but he was also wary of me. He called me to this study and coerced me, hoping that I could help his three sons. Will I work for them? Haha, it's a big joke!"
"That day, I calculated all the old accounts with him once, and made him angry to have a heart attack. I held the medicine bottle in my hand, pulled out the phone line, watched him fall down in pain, struggled on the ground, and twitched. My father died in front of me like that, with three useless brothers left, and he didn't even have the capital to pose a threat to me. It only took me half a year to clear all the obstacles, moved into this study as I wished, and sat in the seat of the head of the Lu family.
Lu Bohan's voice was not high, but Li Weidong's back was chilled when he heard these words. Unexpectedly, Lu Bohan was an illegitimate child and endured for 33 years. Finally, he put down his father and brothers one by one and stepped on their bodies and climbed up to the throne of the leader! What kind of scheming is this, and what kind of revenge is this?!
Lu Bohan slowly stood up. The old man who just looked extremely old with a cringeded body just now, exuded a forceful momentum in an instant, which made people breathe tightly. At this moment, Li Weidong really felt the majesty that has been precipitated for decades, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant. It turned out that it can really be daunting!
After smoking a cigarette, Lu Bohan said, "I have liquidated all the people who knew these things and those who bullied me one by one. The whole Lu family has almost changed blood. Up to now, no one in the world should know my secret. Xiaodong, you are the first person to know this secret, but do you know why I told you?"
After a moment of silence, Li Weidong shook his head. A ferocious smile appeared on Lu Bohan's face and said in a low voice, "You are so smart, I think you should guess it. The most hated thing in my life was betrayal. The woman betrayed her husband, so she gave birth to me. My father was sorry for me, so I sent him and his three sons to the coffin! I think you have heard about Yuner's background. Xia Jiling betrayed me, and my two daughters actually betrayed me with him. Until now, Ouyang Liehuo, Chu Tianshu, Lu Yanghao, all of them have two hearts one by one! Isn't it a great pleasure in life to watch them die in front of me?
"There will never be right or wrong in this world, only winning or losing. If Ouyang Liehuo wins this time, then what I lose is the painstaking efforts of my life. Unfortunately, he is too shallow and unlucky, but he killed you halfway. As for Chen Feng and Lian Qinghou, they are very loyal to me now, but what about after I die? If the Lu clan is still there, they can restrain each other, but now that my children and grandchildren are dead, only Yun'er and her sister are left. Who can guarantee that the two of them will not be the next Xia Jiling and the next Ouyang Fire? Xiaodong, now you think my means are too poisonous, because you don't have the supreme power yet. If one day you climb to the peak of power, you will understand a sentence, I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than the people of the world!"
Li Weidong frowned slightly, but remained silent. Although Lu Bohan said this ruthlessly, he was indeed qualified and had a reason to say so. Since ancient times, it has been better to know how many people's blood is stained in the hands of each superior. If Lu Bohan can't be so cruel, he must not be able to sit in the chair of the head of the Lu family. At least he has a sentence that is not wrong. There is no right or wrong in things in the world, only wins and losses!
He sighed gently and looked out of the window. At this time, the sun had risen very high, sprinkled thousands of sunshine, and coated the bustling city with a light gold. It was Central, and the surging flow of people and traffic shuttled between them like ants, but what made Li Weidong depressed was that he could not feel Lu Bohan's persistence in power and the almost fanatical paranoia. Khan, does this mean that our buddy will never be the master of power like the old man?
Or, this feeling of superiority is really so important. It is worth giving up one's relatives, emotions and trust. In order to pursue this desire for power, he can be unscrupulous and desperate? ......
Lu Bohan failed to notice the confusion in Li Weidong's eyes at this time. When he looked at the familiar city under his feet, his face was indescribably excited. Suddenly he said, "Xiao Dong, a man's pursuit is not money, not a woman, it should always be power. With power, everything is at your fingertips. I'm very optimistic about you. You are not only smart, but also calm. Your mind is even ashamed of me. Although you don't have enough experience and you still look immature in many places, you can't hide your flaws. If you take good care of it in time, I, Lu Bohan, dares to assert that you will become a great weapon!"
Li Weidong said with a wry smile, "The old man is really loving. I think I'm more suitable to be a small citizen. I don't know if this is mud that can't hold on the wall?"
Lu Bohan laughed and said, "Xiaodong, I have checked your details and I also know your family background. It's hard to imagine that an ordinary child like you will have this kind of insight and mind. By the way, there is also a good hand. I believe that in a word, people like you can't live a muddle-headed life like a little citizen all your life. I'm afraid people like you can't do it. Life is like climbing a mountain. Every time you climb a higher mountain, you will find more beautiful scenery. If you don't want it now, you can only say that you haven't reached that height, that's all.
Li Weidong lit a cigarette, smiled and said, "Sir, in fact, I think I understand what you mean by saying so much to me. It's just that everyone has their own aspirations. If you want to keep me to help the young lady, I'm afraid I will disappoint you.
Lu Bohan turned his head and looked at Li Weidong. His eyes flashed. After a while, he said, "Xiaodong, you look like a person."
Li Weidong frowned and said, "Xia Jiling?"
"Do you know?" This time, it was Lu Bohan's turn to be slightly stunned and said, "Someone said the same thing to you. Who is it?"
Li Weidong sighed and said, "Yue Tianxiong."
"So it is..." Lu Bohan suddenly had a trace of imperceptible deep meaning on the corners of his mouth and said slowly, "I have been dealing with the Yue family for decades. Unexpectedly, Yue Tianxiong still has some eyesight. However, Xiaodong, you still guessed wrong one thing. I don't want to leave you to help Yuner. I want to give you the whole Lu family.
"Give it to me?! What are you kidding?!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, which suddenly exploded in Li Weidong's ear, which made him unable to recover for a long time, and the smoke in his hand fell to the ground without finding it. Lu Bohan didn't seem to be surprised by his expression at all. He smiled, stared into his eyes and said word by word, "Yes, I want to give the Lu family to you. But there is a premise that I want you to marry Yun'er.
PS: Five thousand words were delivered. Although it was a little late, I have been working hard to get home at five o'clock and have rice for dinner... Let's have a meal first...
