Chapter 742: Rhetoric

The three elders were not people who had never seen fine wine or delicious food, but today they were particularly happy. The three of them drank one glass after another and chatted with Zhan Tingbei. The atmosphere quickly became better.

"You little brat, you're great. Invite a few of us old guys to have some drinks. When we're tired from traveling around the world, we'll bring you some good wine when we come back." The great elder held the bottle and drank from it.

The third elder nodded in agreement, patted Zhan Tingbei on the shoulder and said, "If you can find your third master a mother who loves square dancing, your third master will like you even more!"

Zhan Tingbei shook his head, feeling helpless.

He shook the clear liquid in the cup and said with a half-smile, "Then tell me first, why do you have to leave at this time?"

His tone was not abrupt, and he asked casually.

The third elder had already fallen on the sofa, his whole body reeking of alcohol.

"Well, we are going to travel around the world, what's the point of asking?"

"That's right, we are old and useless, so we just want to go out and see more."

"Don't ask this kind of question again. It's so annoying."

…

Although the three were drunk, they were still alert.

Zhan Tingbei was not in a hurry and said calmly: "Traveling around the world, but you have no money in your pocket?"

Several bosses were stunned for a moment.

They stood up one after another as if their dignity was hurt.

"It was an accident."

"That's right, who can live their life without any accidents?"

"While the three of us were so impressive, you were still standing there doing nothing."

…

The three of them had high voices and were very imposing.

It also exposes their guilty conscience.

Zhan Tingbei looked at them quietly, especially at the Great Elder, frowning.

After drinking the wine, the elder looked a little unhappy.

There's a sick air about him, just like when Old Man Zhan has a heart attack.

Zhan Tingbei had a vague guess.

"Why don't you stay here for a few more days? When you get bored, I'll find a tour guide to take you on a tour. How about that?"

Zhan Tingbei smiled and said, "This way, you won't have to worry about getting lost, or being detained and forced to wash dishes."

After hearing this, the third elder's eyes brightened up for a moment, then quickly dimmed.

"No." Several people said in unison.

Suddenly, the great elder let out a groan from his throat, and actually fell down, holding his chest.

The other two were horrified and rushed to help him.

Zhan Tingbei hurriedly asked someone to call a doctor.

The results showed nothing, except that he had drunk too much and was suffering from palpitations and shortness of breath.

Zhan Tingbei felt something was wrong.

He called the three elders out.

He spoke directly: "Third Elder, what happened to the First Elder? Is he seriously ill?"

The third elder was sober, but his first reaction after hearing this was to play dumb. He avoided Zhan Tingbei's sight and looked away, "Well, you think too much. That old guy is so strong that he can beat ten cows. How could he be sick?"

"That means he was poisoned." Zhan Tingbei's voice gradually became colder. "You want to take him to die in a foreign land? Don't you think that this is too cruel to him?"

He stared straight into the eyes of the Third Elder, not missing the fleeting look of surprise in the latter's eyes.

Zhan Tingbei understood instantly that he had guessed correctly.

"That's not true. Don't talk nonsense. Don't think that you can make random guesses just because you are favored by Meng Meng." The third elder smiled coldly, turned around and ignored Zhan Tingbei.

"We can gather all our strength to help him, instead of being like you are now, not saying anything and just preparing to die." Zhan Tingbei was a little angry.

What he disliked the most was the kind of people who would hide the truth from others when something happened, and then fight against it with all their might, only to get themselves involved in the incident and make others sad.

The Third Elder's facial expression changed again and again, and his mouth moved for a long time. He didn't know where to start, nor did he know if he could say anything.

They had clearly decided not to tell anyone about this matter, to say goodbye to the little girl properly, to hand over the alliance affairs to her, and then to disappear.

But who could have imagined that the Great Elder's health was getting worse and worse.

Zhan Tingbei saw the confusion and helplessness in the third elder's eyes and sighed.

"Third Elder, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. Why don't you think about it? If you just leave, can Meng Meng manage the people and things in the alliance? If someone bullies her, who can support her?"

People like him always speak coldly and never comfort others.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he has become the main force of persuasion.

The third elder dodged again, facing the corner, and fell into his own thoughts.

"If something really happens to him, will you and the Second Elder regret not telling us today? What if, by some chance, there is still a glimmer of hope?" Zhan Tingbei stepped forward and grabbed the Third Elder's arm.

The latter shuddered suddenly, and his eyes turned red instantly.

The three of them had been through thick and thin together for most of their lives, and had pledged to live and die together.

I didn't expect something like this to happen to the boss.

As brothers, they couldn't let him leave alone.

That's why he and the second oldest brother wanted to fly away with the eldest brother, even if it was just to accompany him for the last part of his journey.
