Chapter 292 Hidden Forces

Zhu Congwen started asking out Xie Zhan the next day, but he declined the date several times with the excuse of being busy. The last time, he asked someone to directly give him an address and time, and also warned him that he would be responsible for the consequences if he didn't come.

When Xie Zhan saw the letter full of threats, he smiled and asked someone to reply to Zhu Congwen, saying that he agreed to meet.

When the appointed time was approaching, Zhu Congwen walked out slowly.

Zhu Changnian, the head of the Zhu family, stopped him, "Where are you going?"

Zhu Congwen rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to my grandfather's house."

When he saw Xie Zhan at Minghua Building that night, he knew his chance had come.

He asked someone to check on Xie Zhan. By coincidence, it was Xie Zhan who was managing the Chen family's property on Zhuya Island at this time.

Because Zhuya Island was not the core asset of the Chen family and the family's children were unwilling to take over, it was passed on to Xie Zhan, the son-in-law.

Now that he has the handle on Xie Zhan, the youngest son-in-law of the Chen family, isn't it easy to get hold of Xiao Zhu Ya Island?

He was going to get a big deal. He wanted to surprise his father, so he kept it secret for now.

"Dad, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving first." After Zhu Congwen said this, he walked away quickly.

"You bastard, you don't know what you are doing all day long!" Zhu Changnian scolded.

Mrs. Zhu on the side was unhappy, "Didn't he say he was going to his grandfather's house? Why are you scolding him?"

"A loving mother is a failure. As soon as I told him, you stopped him and sent him to Zhuya Island. He only worked for a few days and then came back! There is no certainty at all. Just wait. If he doesn't learn well in the future, don't regret it!"

Mrs. Zhu: "Don't scold him all the time. You have to teach him. Can scolding him help him get out of it?"

Zhu Changnian was troubled by what he said. Was it because he didn't teach him? Teach with earnest words and step by step. Has your son learned it? Still nothing!

"Did you not sleep well? Go and have a rest quickly. You will rest in my house for the next two days, and you are not allowed to go looking for those little goblins!"

Zhu Changnian blushed when his wife said it, and defended, "I don't have a good rest, but I'm not..."

"Are you still stubborn? Do you want your life?"

Zhu Changnian:......

He had a nightmare. In the dream, he only felt that a net was coming towards him, and he had no way to escape. That feeling of suffocation and despair kept him from sleeping well all night.

He thought about it and couldn't figure it out.

Zhu Congwen and Xie Zhan made an appointment in a quiet teahouse.

When Zhu Congwen arrived, Xie Zhan was already there.

"I wonder what Mr. Zhu has to do with Xie?"

"Xie Zhan, Xie Zhan, you are indeed a handsome and romantic young man from Chang'an. You still haven't changed your romantic habits after arriving in the South."

Xie Zhan frowned, "What does Mr. Zhu mean?"

Seeing him like this, Zhu Congwen decided to give him a hint, "Lu Fei, the eldest daughter of the Lu family."

Zhu Congwen despises Xie Zhan, so what if he used to be the prince of the family?

As the saying goes, a down-and-out phoenix is ​​worse than a chicken. Since the Xie family was exiled and now lives dependent on the Chen family, he should work hard for the Chen family. Now he is married to Chen Baozhu and is still entangled with Lu Fei.

The two legitimate daughters of the six major aristocratic families in the South all favored him. Why?

Zhu Congwen firmly refused to admit that he was jealous of his good luck with women.

Xie Zhan looked puzzled, "Master Zhu, can you explain it clearly?"

Zhu Congwen thought to himself, this guy really doesn't have a guilty conscience.

"Brother Xie, stop pretending, I've seen you two..." Zhu Congwen smiled ambiguously at him, and his words were also a lie.

Xie Zhan: "Master Zhu misunderstood. Miss Lu and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Brother Xie, do you think you can escape if you don't admit it? Since I dare to call you out, I will have no evidence in my hand. What will happen to you if I bring this matter to Chen Jiaye? "

Xie Zhan's face became solemn.

Zhu Congwen admired the scene in front of him, "It's actually very easy for me to keep silent."

Xie Zhan said nothing, but pointed his eyes at him.

His harsh words made Zhu Congwen happy, "Sell me the Chen family's Xiao Zhuya Island!"

Xie Zhan: "Impossible!"

Zhu Congwen was not angry at all, "You think carefully before speaking."

Xie Zhan's face was tense, "This is the property of the Chen family, I have no right to dispose of it."

"I don't care about that. This is your question. I will give you a reply in three days. If the answer dissatisfies me, you know the consequences." After Zhu Congwen finished speaking, he walked away without waiting for Xie Zhan to answer.

Later, Zhu Congwen heard from his subordinates that after he left, Xie Zhan stayed in for about two quarters of an hour before coming out. He even heard from the store that the customer accidentally broke a cup.

For a moment, Zhu Congwen was in a good mood.

Liaodong County, Houcheng County Sheriff's Office

In the morning, after Lu Desheng had eaten and drank enough, he walked slowly to the front yard.

Along the way, countless people greeted him, and he responded to them one by one.

Then he finally came to his office room, which was shared by his father and daughter. It was also the largest office room in the entire county magistrate's mansion.

In the office room, the desks of father and daughter are opposite each other.

Nowadays, the desktops of father and daughter are very different. Lu Songli's desktop is full of official documents, while the official documents on Lu Desheng's desktop are only a quarter of Lu Songli's.

As soon as Lu Desheng came in, he saw his little girl immersed in handling the official affairs of the entire Liaodong County. There was already a stack of official documents that had been processed beside her.

She handed a small pile of them to the book clerk, "Put these on my father's desk."

Lu Desheng felt a little guilty for no reason, "I'll do it."

Lv Desheng took the official document and said, "My daughter, are you tired? If you are, take a rest first."

Lv Songli took a sip of the tea beside her and said, "Not bad."

"Dad, those are all urgent official business in your hands, you need to deal with them quickly."

"Okay, okay, Dad will deal with them right away."

At this time, a letter from Nandi was sent to Liaodong County, and then it was sent to Lu Songli as soon as possible.

Lv Songli had previously guessed that the Xie family had a hidden force.

When she first met Ji Wuyin, she suspected that Xie Zhan had sent out the family's elite to fake death, and Ji Wuyin said that this matter would be handed over to him.

He sent the letter back to Nandi and asked his confidant to investigate the matter. He also told him in the letter to send the letter to Liaodong County if there was a result.

Now the letter is in her hands, and her guess has finally been confirmed.

Xie Zhan did send out a group of people. However, in such a situation, it is not enough to just send people out. If a person has no background, it is difficult to work hard from scratch.

Therefore, Lu Songli guessed that the Xie family should have a hidden force.

After reading the letter, Lu Songli asked the clerk to give it to her father.

Lu Songli stood up, walked to the window, looked at the small pond not far away, and thought about the problem.

This has become her habit.
