Chapter 41 We Are the Same Friend

Luo Pingshan was far away overseas. After receiving the message from his third brother, he couldn't sleep all night.

"Third brother, listen to your eldest brother and don't do anything rash. You know Pingfeng's way of dealing with things. He won't let you go even if it's you."

Luo Pingshan remembered the time difference and it was already dawn in Luoping City, so he hurriedly sent a voice message to his brother.

"Brother, you and second brother are both my closest relatives, but before I was Luo Pingfeng's younger brother, I was myself."

Luo Pingcheng sent a very long text, expressing his inner torment over the past year.

Reading his younger brother's words, Luo Pingshan felt disgusted with his own cowardice for the first time from the bottom of his heart, and resented his second brother's tyranny and wantonness.

There are three brothers in the Luo family, but only Luo Pingfeng has the final say.

Not only the big and small matters of the Luo family, but also his and his younger brother's personal affairs and life choices, all have the final say by Luo Pingfeng.

"Third brother, I understand your feelings very well. So, I will find an opportunity in the near future and return home as soon as possible. Before I go back, you must protect yourself."

Luo Pingshan's tone clearly showed some fear and uneasiness, but he tried his best to express that he would come back to help Luo Pingcheng and could not allow Luo Pingfeng to continue to act on his own.

"The brotherhood between you Luo family is truly touching. Luo Pingshan was originally a complete coward, but it seems that he has been encouraged by the youngest and wants to join forces with you to take down Luo Pingfeng?"

He clapped his hands all night long, with an expression as if he was about to eat some melon seeds and watch the show.

It’s a different era now, but I didn’t expect to be able to watch the three brothers of the Luo family fighting for power and profit.

Such a vivid and realistic drama is much more interesting than watching the palace fighting in TV dramas.

Luo Pingcheng put down his phone, approached quickly, pressed his hands on both sides of Lian Ye, and trapped him in the chair.

Lian Ye could only slightly raise his head to look at Luo Pingcheng, trying to maintain a playful tone: "Isn't it? The Third Young Master and the Eldest Young Master of the Luo Family, please don't let me down."

"My eldest brother, my second brother, and I will always be brothers connected by blood. I will never do anything to hurt him, and my eldest brother certainly won't. We just want to fight for our own lives and let my second brother know that we can live a wonderful life without him."

The person trapped in the chair raised his head slightly. Luo Pingcheng deliberately lowered his shoulders and firmly broke "Chi Tiansheng's" evil taste of watching their brothers fighting each other word by word.

The warm sounds and breaths of Luoping City all rushed towards Lian Ye.

Lian Ye turned his face away unnaturally, avoiding Luo Pingcheng's direct gaze, and tried hard to play the role of "Chi Tiansheng".

"Oh? I hope Luo Pingfeng thinks so too, and that you two are brothers connected by blood. After knowing what you did behind his back, he will show you some mercy."

It was normal for Chi Tiansheng to seize the opportunity to sow discord, and Luo Pingcheng could understand it.

After all, he was almost plotted against and killed by his second brother not long ago.

"Oh, Mr. Chi, just wait and see. I will prove to you that the three of us brothers, even if we take different paths, are still a family."

These words were meant to prevent him from giving in in front of Chi Tiansheng, and also reflected Luo Pingcheng's heartfelt desire.

In this world, if even blood ties are untrustworthy and even brothers are put to death, what is there worth clinging to?

Luo Pingcheng risked everything and gambled his life on Luo Pingfeng's heart.

As long as he wins the bet, not only will his elder brother be free and able to pursue happiness again, but maybe a miracle will happen to him, such as returning home safely overnight.

No, even if it is in tatters, I will come back.

In this world, where else can I go at night except by my side?

Luo Pingcheng firmly denied this possibility - Lian Ye was still alive, but he escaped and was willing to fake his death to escape from himself and the Luo family.

Lao Xu stood at the door, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his eyes looking at the floor-to-ceiling window behind Lian Ye.

He pushed open Luo Pingcheng's door, stood up, and strode over.

Shi Mingguang was walking back and forth in the yard, feeling a little anxious.

He ran over in a hurry and knocked Luo Pingcheng, who was standing there, to stagger.

"Mr. Chi, are you in a hurry to go to the bathroom? Really, why are you running so fast?" Luo Pingcheng stopped and looked downstairs curiously.

Shi Mingguang? Luo Pingcheng frowned. Chi Tiansheng had already run away, so he had no choice but to turn his anger towards Lao Xu.

"What do you mean? Shi Mingguang actually came to the Chi family? Are President Chi and Shi Mingguang secretly colluding with each other?"

Old Xu shook his head and cleared his throat. "Lawyer Shi and President Chi aren't plotting anything behind Third Young Master Luo's back. They've just been getting along well lately and have become friends. It's normal for friends to visit friends."

After Lao Xu finished speaking, he looked at Luo Pingcheng with a kind smile.

Luo Pingcheng couldn't guess what Lao Xu's meaningful smile was, was he mocking him?

Shi Mingguang is Chi Tiansheng's friend. Only friends can come to each other's home, but he is not. To the Chi family, he is a "spy" sent by the Luo family. Is he an uninvited accident?

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous. Did Chi Tiansheng soak in water for a while and his brain is filled with water? He can't tell who is on the same path with whom?"

Luo Pingcheng was about to rush downstairs angrily, but when he reached the stairs, he stopped, hesitant, and just bit his lip.

Why was he feeling so choked up? Who Chi Tiansheng was going to associate with had nothing to do with him.

I just stayed at Chi Tiansheng's house for one night, just felt the familiar breath beside Chi Tiansheng, and slept soundly after a long time, and yet I became so concerned?

Luo Pingcheng patted his chest hard and reminded himself: Don't get it wrong, Chi Tiansheng is not Lian Ye at all. It's up to his second brother to care about whoever he wants to associate with and make friends with. What does it have to do with me?

However, Luo Pingcheng couldn't help but be curious: Shi Mingguang looked very anxious, what was the reason for him to come to Chi Tiansheng?

"You helped introduce the child from the Old Wu family to Lingling at Chengxi Primary School. Do you remember?"

Shi Mingguang was so anxious that his face turned pale. He guessed overnight that something might have happened to Lingling and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, what happened? What's the situation now? Tell me everything you know and I'll make arrangements."

"Lingling didn't go to school today. Isn't Old Wu still with your Nan'an Construction Team? Maybe it was too noisy at the construction site. The school called Old Wu but he didn't answer. Old Wu's wife was so worried that she cried and came to the law firm to find me."

Lingling is just a first-grade girl. She didn't go to school and is missing, which is really worrying.

"Don't worry, I have a photo of Lingling here. I took a picture of her when I sent her to the elementary school for an interview. I'll distribute the photo and have my men find it. We'll also report the case to the police and ask for their help."

He took out his cell phone that night and sent Lingling's photo to the group while talking.

In the photo, Lingling is standing at the gate of Chengxi Primary School. She looks a little shy, but you can tell that she is very happy. She timidly makes a "yeah" gesture and smiles with her eyes curved.

He helped to arrange work for Old Wu's family overnight. When he found out that Lingling was not in school, he offered to help find a school.

Lingling was so excited that on the day she was picked up for the interview at the primary school, she was at the doorstep at six in the morning, neatly dressed, carrying her small schoolbag, and craning her head in anticipation.

"Okay, I'll send the photos, and they'll look for people around Lingling's house and Chengxi Primary School to find out what happened. You and I will go to the police station, explain the situation, and see if the police can conduct a search."

Without even putting on his nightgown, he walked out holding Shi Mingguang's hand.

"You two are not on the same page at all, Mr. Chi. Are you sure you want to go with him, Shi Mingguang?"

Luo Pingcheng looked at the two people leaving side by side, and couldn't help but ran down the stairs while shouting.

When Shi Mingguang saw Luo Pingcheng at Chi's house, still in his pajamas, he showed an expression of surprise and disappointment.

"I was so presumptuous to disturb you. I didn't even say hello to you first and ran straight to your house."

Shi Mingguang smiled bitterly and tried to break free from Chi Tiansheng's hand: "If Mr. Chi has something important to do, I can go to the police station alone. Thank you for helping me distribute the photos. It has been a great help."

The Luo family and the Chi family have a grudge against each other, but it also proves to be a long-lasting relationship.

Luo Pingcheng not only invested in the South Bank project, but also lived in Chi Tiansheng's house. Shi Mingguang had to suspect: Luo Pingfeng wanted to put Chi Tiansheng to death, but Luo Pingcheng didn't.

Maybe Luo Pingfeng's hatred for Chi Tiansheng is related to Luo Pingcheng?

Shi Mingguang couldn't help but look at Luo Pingcheng again. The silk pajamas he was wearing were a bit too big. He should be wearing Chi Tiansheng's pajamas.

Shi Mingguang didn't know that his face and eyes were filled with gloomy loss.

He felt even more uncomfortable, sour and bitter, and he couldn't explain the reason.

However, once I accidentally imagined the situation of Luo Pingcheng and Chi Tiansheng living together last night, those thoughts and emotions came to my mind.

Lian Ye caught all the subtle changes in Shi Mingguang's expression and gaze.

He firmly held Shi Mingguang and did not let him leave first.

"I know there are many differences between me and Lawyer Shi, but I want to follow the same path as him. Now, we must go together."

He turned back at night and stared at Luoping City with a firm and sharp gaze.

Luo Pingcheng was in a trance, and thought he saw Lian Ye. Lian Ye had looked at him in the same way before, and said firmly: "Let me go, I don't want to live like this anymore."

Luo Pingcheng stood alone in the yard. The autumn wind was blowing, and he felt a little chilly even in his thin silk pajamas.

It was only slightly cool, but Luo Pingcheng felt extremely cold and was shivering all over.

He folded his arms, slowly squatted down, buried his head between his arms, and trembled slightly.

He would not cry because of Chi Tiansheng and Shi Mingguang, he was just too cold.

Luo Pingcheng clenched his sleeves tightly with his fingers, trying to suppress those surging strange emotions, but those emotions tore at him madly, and he trembled with pain all over.

Lian Ye, Luo Pingshan, Luo Pingfeng, Chi Tiansheng, everyone could easily abandon him and give up on him.

He was like the most useless chess piece on the chessboard. Even if his opponent ate him, no one would feel sorry for him.
