Chapter 234 This is why my second brother doesn't want to come back
The luxury car that Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou were riding in slowly drove into the magnificent Pei family castle in Country F.
Outside the car window, the spires of the ancient castle sparkled mysteriously and solemnly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
When they pushed open the car door and stepped into the heavy gate of the castle, they were shocked to find two familiar figures sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room.
They are the Long couple.
Li Ruochu's brows knitted together instantly. She subconsciously glanced at Feng Yizhou beside her, her eyes full of confusion, and whispered, "Why are the two of them here!"
She felt uneasy; the couple's appearance was too sudden, and she couldn't figure out their purpose.
"I don't know." Feng Yizhou shook his head slightly. He stared at the Long couple with a vigilant look in his eyes. "Since you are here, there must be something wrong. Let's go!"
He had no idea why the Long couple suddenly showed up in the Pei castle, but since they were already here, he could only confront them and find out what was going on.
The moment Long Tingxiao saw Li Ruchu, a hint of evasion unconsciously flashed across his eyes, like a moth stung by strong light, instinctively wanting to escape.
He lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the strange expression that flashed across his face.
"What are you doing here!" Li Ruochu walked forward a few steps, stopped, frowned, and asked bluntly.
They had clearly said before that they would not recognize her, so why did they suddenly come here today? This made her feel full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
"Did you do what happened to Long Moyang?" Long Tingxiao slowly raised his head and looked straight at Li Ruchu with a hint of anxiety and inquiry in his eyes.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you here to call me to task?" Li Ruochu met Long Tingxiao's gaze without fear and asked back.
She straightened her back, with a hint of firmness in her tone, as if declaring to Long Tingxiao that she was not afraid of his possible questioning.
"We are not here to charge you with crimes," Long Tingxiao sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "We just want to know how you caught Long Moyang reselling arms."
In fact, Long Tingxiao himself has been secretly looking for evidence of Long Moyang's arms trafficking, trying to use this to restore his influence in the family.
After all, Long Moyang's actions seriously affected the reputation and power structure of the Long family. He wanted to take this opportunity to overthrow Long Moyang and regain his own position.
However, this matter was intercepted by Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou. As a result, he might not be able to cause trouble for Long Moyang easily.
In the end, whether the power of the Long family could still fall into his hands became an unknown to him, which made him anxious and helpless.
"Yes, we did all this, so what?" Li Ruochu raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing determination and fearlessness, staring straight at Long Tingxiao, "You just need to tell me what you are doing here now?"
Her tone was unquestionable, as if she was telling Long Tingxiao to stop beating around the bush and just speak his mind.
They did not tell anyone about their return, and it was even more impossible for Chen Tai to leak the news of their return to the Long couple.
Li Ruochu thought to himself that the Long couple must have frequently visited the Pei family during this period and asked around for news before they knew about their return.
"Some time ago, a group of police suddenly broke into the Long Family Castle, and we knew something was wrong."
Long Tingxiao frowned slightly, his face full of worry, and said slowly, "In fact, Long Moyang's smuggling of arms is indeed his own fault. But our Long family's company is still controlled by Long Moyang after all. If something happens to him, our Long family..."
Long Tingxiao hesitated to speak, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. It seemed that he did not dare to say bluntly that he came here just to keep the power in his hands.
After hearing this, Li Ruochu suddenly laughed, and the laughter was full of ridicule and sadness. "You are really interesting," she said coldly, "You chose not to recognize me for power, and now you want to protect Long Moyang for power. It turns out that in your hearts, those powers are really more important than your own relatives."
When she said this, a deep sadness suddenly appeared on Li Ruochu's face, as if she was recalling the family affection that was distorted by power, which made her heart ache.
"Now I finally understand why my second brother ran away. Living with people like you is really too suffocating."
"Second brother, what second brother?" Long Tingxiao asked with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes full of confusion.
He never expected that Li Ruochu would suddenly mention a second brother, and from the look of her, this second brother seemed to have a close connection with the Long family.
"What would you do if I told you that my second brother is still alive?" Li Ruochu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Long couple with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
She wanted to see how these two people would react after hearing the news.
"Impossible, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lerna retorted immediately, with disbelief written all over her face. "We brought his body back personally, how could he still be alive?"
Lerna's voice was sharp and rapid, as if what Li Ruchu said was a fairy tale.
"The reason why my second brother wants to escape from here is because he doesn't want to live with you, because you are too suffocating." Li Ruochu emphasized again, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
After saying that, she reached into her bag without hesitation, took out a photo, and threw it forcefully in front of the two people.
The photo drew an arc in the air and slowly fell on the coffee table in front of the Long couple, as if carrying the emotions that had been pent up in Li Ruochu's heart for a long time.
"Mo Chen is still alive. He is really alive. If he is alive, why doesn't he come back to see us?"
For such a long time, they have been immersed in the pain of losing their son. If it weren't for the death of their own son, how could the power in the family fall into the hands of an outsider?
"My second brother doesn't care about the power in his hands, nor the glory and wealth of your Long family. He could have enjoyed his life abroad. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back."
After all, Li Ruochu was also filled with guilt towards Long Mochen.
"You two should go. Since Long Moyang has been taken away for investigation, the things in his hands will naturally fall into the hands of others. You can deny my Long family's things and I don't want them, but my second brother is still alive. You can't even dream of letting those things fall into your hands."
Li Ruochu said with a cold expression.
