Chapter 38 Tonight's Goal is Clear
Wei Changtian has been thinking about how to build his own power for a few days.
He had not intended to act so hastily before. His plan was to set up the bookstore first, and then use it as a cover to establish an underground violent organization of a gang nature.
But Wei Xianzhi's words during the day made him feel that this matter should not be delayed too long, so he simply decided to do both at the same time.
The bookstore is in the open, while the gang is in the dark.
One Li Yang came forward, and the other Wang Er came forward.
As for myself, it is definitely better to stay behind the scenes as much as possible.
It’s not that I’m afraid of trouble, but the villain’s vision must be big.
"Brother Wei, although I don't know what you are going to do, but since you asked me, I will definitely help you!"
Li Yang's answer was expected.
After taking a deep look at the two people sitting in front of him, Wei Changtian finally spoke: "I plan to establish a secret gang that is completely loyal to me, and the bookstore is the face that is displayed in the open."
"Although I have the support of the Wei family, many things cannot be done through the Xuan Jing Division, so I must master a force of my own."
"Brother Li, Wang Er, you are the two people I trust the most. This time I need your help..."
“…”
The study was quiet and half an hour passed by unknowingly.
Because Wei Changtian had greeted Qiuyun and Yuaner, they never came in to serve from beginning to end. Even when the candles burned out, no one added oil or replaced wax.
“Puff~”
The last candle flame finally trembled and went out, and the whole room suddenly fell into darkness. Only the faint moonlight came in through the window, shining on the extremely serious faces of the three men.
"Brother Wei, this matter..."
Li Yang's voice trembled a little.
Although he is a typical dandy boy, he is somewhat different from Wei Changtian.
Li Kan is a legal worker after all, while Wei Xianzhi is a spy chief.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the different family education that Li Yang has not actually done too many things that are harmful to others.
Therefore, after hearing these words, especially when he understood Wei Changtian's ultimate goal, cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Brother Wei didn't scare me. If I don't handle this well, I might lose my head...
Darkness enveloped the whole body, and the sound of rapid breathing was clearly audible.
Wei Changtian did not respond, but just waited quietly.
Until Li Yang gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence word by word.
"Brother Wei! I did it!"
“…”
He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, took out a new candle and lit it.
The light reappeared, and only then did Wei Changtian look at Li Yang and say something sincerely.
"Thanks, Brother Li."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the friendship that was originally based on "visiting prostitution together" was sublimated into a life-and-death friendship of "carrying guns together" at this moment.
Although this scene seemed a bit like a conspiracy, Wei Changtian felt that there was nothing wrong with this term.
At least compared to like-minded hypocrites, real villains who share the same evil are always more trustworthy.
The atmosphere in the study gradually returned to normal. After the three of them chatted for a while, Wang Er suddenly remembered something.
"Sir, since we are going to form a gang, we must have a name."
"Yeah, I almost forgot about that."
Li Yang had turned his trepidation into excitement, and with a strong sense of belonging to the organization, he suggested, "How about we call it Changtian Club?"
Wei Changtian: “…”
Are you afraid that others won't be able to tell that this matter has something to do with me? "Well, I've already thought about this matter."
"Oh? What's your name?"
"Call……"
Under the expectant gazes of Li Yang and Wang Er, Wei Changtian slowly said a name full of evil humor.
"Freemasonry."
…
The next day.
August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Yang and Wang Er have already started to busy themselves with the establishment of "Chun Shen Bookstore" and "Freemasonry", while Wei Changtian went to Xuan Jingsi as usual.
The name "Chun Shen" was chosen by Lu Jingyao, which comes from the famous line "I was so engrossed in my studies that I didn't realize spring has already arrived, every minute of time is precious."
Wei Changtian didn't care about it. Anyway, it was much better than Li Yangqi's "Jubao".
Just think of it as increasing Lu Jingyao's sense of involvement in the bookshop's affairs.
There are competitions in the martial arts hall in the morning, and in the afternoon, the Xuan Jing Division is closed for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means it is a holiday.
Except for some personnel who remain on duty, everyone else can go home half a day in advance to reunite with their relatives and friends.
Of course, Wei Changtian was "not qualified" to be on the list of personnel on duty, so he had to return to the Wei Mansion early.
After playing with Wei Qiaoling for a while and making up for the story of Journey to the West that I had not told the little girl last night, it was soon dusk.
The hazy full moon had risen from the east, and the orange sunset had not yet set. Just as the sun and the moon were shining together, two servants came to call Wei Changtian to have a reunion dinner.
Last year, four people had this meal together, and this year, Lu Jingyao joined us.
During the meal, Wei Qiaoling was still focused on eating, Wei Xianzhi and his son were drinking happily, only the atmosphere around Qin Caizhen and Lu Jingyao was a little different.
"Yao'er, you have been in the Wei family for some time. Is your menstrual period normal recently?"
“I, I…”
"Oh, look how scared you are. It's okay if you're not pregnant yet. There's no rush for this."
"I understand, mother-in-law..."
"But you still have to make plans early. You don't practice martial arts, so it's better to have a baby sooner... Yao'er, why do you look like this?"
"Ah? I, I'm fine..."
"Tell me honestly, how often do you and Changtian do that?"
“…”
At the beginning of the Xu hour, the meal was over.
Wei Changtian originally wanted to stay a little longer, but was driven away by Qin Caizhen's wave of hand. Before leaving, she did not forget to wink at Lu Jingyao.
"What did my mother say to you during dinner?"
On the way back, Wei Changtian asked curiously.
“No, nothing…”
Lu Jingyao lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly said something as if her brain short-circuited.
"Mother-in-law, let us rest early..."
"oh."
Wei Changtian nodded indifferently: "You are quite nosy."
“…”
Lu Jingyao secretly glanced at the handsome face in the moonlight and felt a little annoyed for a moment.
She was angry at herself for not living up to her expectations, and also a little angry at Wei Changtian's indifferent attitude.
Didn't you want me before? Why now...
If you were a little more forceful, I might have given in...
The more Lu Jingyao thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, so she stopped talking.
The two of them went their separate ways until they saw Wang Er guarding the gate of the courtyard.
"lady."
Wang Er greeted Lu Jingyao first, then whispered to Wei Changtian, "Sir, the carriage is ready."
"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes and leave."
Wei Changtian responded, and Lu Jingyao was a little surprised when she heard it.
"Are you going out?"
"Well, I have something to do."
"oh."
Lu Jingyao's first reaction was that Wei Changtian was going to a brothel, but after thinking about it, she denied this idea.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, he shouldn't go to that kind of place.
Besides, it doesn't look like he's going to do anything shameful...
I breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed instantly.
But she guessed wrong this time.
Wei Changtian's goal tonight is very clear -
Enjoy the lanterns! Ride the flower boat! Play with the courtesan! (End of this chapter)
