Volume 1 Chapter 300 The Qiao Family's Attitude

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, we arrived in Shangjing.

To Li Tian, ​​all cities were the same, except that Shangjing no longer had the buildings he was familiar with.

When passing by the alley intersection, I saw people listening to music. The tunes were very Beijing-style and made people subconsciously slow down the pace of life.

Li Tian sent Li Xiaoying and Huang Xiaoxia to school, and then hurried to the Qiao family compound. Qiao Changming had already set up his troops in the Qiao family compound, waiting for him to arrive.

As a super family in Shangjing, the Qiao family is dominant and everyone is aware of its existence. The Qiao family members are spread across the business and government circles, and possess countless wealth, great power, and extremely high social status.

If anyone says something against the Qiao family, they will be seen as an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating their own capabilities, and will be laughed at.

Arriving at the gate of the Qiao family compound, Li Tian deeply felt the foundation and strength of the Qiao family. Surrounded by blue brick walls more than ten meters high, it has a very traditional northern residential architectural style. It is more like an ancient city than a family's residence.

"Old Li!"

With an excited call, Qiao Yuncai came forward in front of the gate made of archway.

Before Li Tian came, he knew that he had come out from the Motian Cliff in Jinshan Temple after meditating on his sins, so it was not surprising that he came to greet him.

His body was like a boneless mountain of flesh, his head was like an upside-down teapot, his neck was almost non-existent, and his eyes showed a kind of shrewdness that appeared foolish but wise.

Beside him, there is the Smiling Buddha.

The Laughing Buddha has a prosthetic limb, but if you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell anything is wrong.

"Fatty, you've been meditating on the cliff for so long, why haven't you lost weight?" Li Tian said.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but there was no sense of distance and they still felt very close.

After greeting Fatty Qiao, he also nodded to the Smiling Buddha.

"You skinny bastard, you bald donkey who helps chant the sutras, the food here is really fucking good. I eat until I'm full every meal. Not only do I lose weight, I even gain 7 or 8 kilograms." Fatty Qiao cursed and swore. He couldn't control his appetite and blamed the monks of Jinshan Temple.

Li Tian: “…”

"Let's go, the old man and the head of the family are waiting in the reception hall."

Fatty Qiao came over and put his arm around Li Tian's shoulders. "Don't be nervous. I'm here. It's okay. By the way, I heard that you and Gu Ruoxi got married?"

"Yes, it happened not long ago." Li Tian knew that he would never be able to hide this from the Qiao family.

"Damn, you're so awesome. My uncle has been pursuing her for several years but failed to win her heart. How come you managed to win Gu Ruoxi back all of a sudden?" Fatty Qiao was extremely surprised.

Li Tian then told the truth about the Gu family and their origins, and how he and Gu Ruoxi had been engaged since childhood.

Fatty Qiao couldn't help but sigh that all the beauties in the world seemed to be tailor-made for Li Tian.

Then, the two of them walked into the Qiao family compound.

The fat man said that the building area of ​​the Qiao family compound is more than 4,000 square meters, with streets on three sides. It is divided into six large courtyards with more than 20 small courtyards inside. Both direct and collateral branches of the Qiao family live here.

The current head of the Qiao family is naturally his grandfather Qiao Changming, who has the highest say.

His grandfather had three sons. The eldest son, Qiao Zishi, was his biological father, and the second son, Qiao Qingsheng, was his second uncle.

His younger uncle Qiao Chenyu is actually an adopted son, whom his grandfather picked up from the street in his early years.

There are more things to say about the collateral branches. His grandfather had four brothers. Although they all contributed their lives to the rise of the Qiao family, they all left descendants.

Apart from his father and uncle, the heads of the family are the collateral descendants of his grandfather's four brothers, who are of the same generation as his father.

As for the masters of the Qiao family, there were twenty or thirty who were at the same level as the Smiling Buddha that he knew of, and there were many that he didn't know about. The guards of the Qiao family compound were all retired special forces soldiers.

Retired special forces soldier guarding the house?

Li Tian glanced at the black-clad guards that could be seen everywhere, and was extremely shocked. He used to think that the Chu family and the Chen family were big enough, but compared with the Qiao family, they were nothing.

After walking in the Qiao family compound for ten minutes...

Fatty Qiao comforted Li Tian and said, "We'll almost be there after we cross the intersection ahead."

Li Tian looked at the crossroads. It was the intersection of the two main roads of the Qiao family compound. There were four gates in the east, south, west and north, and it was surrounded by high walls. For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

This bad premonition soon came true.

He, Fatty Qiao and Smiling Buddha had just walked through a door to the intersection when the doors on all four sides slammed shut.

The crossroads with many connections suddenly turned into a prison.

Before the door closed, five people walked in from each of the four doors and stared at Li Tian coldly.

"Fuck, what's going on?" Fatty Qiao had a puzzled expression on his face.

The Smiling Buddha also looked around in confusion. Was he going to attack Li Tian? But Li Tian was not only the young master's brother, but also the son-in-law of the Gu family. He also had a master who was a hidden master. This situation should not happen.

Li Tian saw that on the city wall opposite him, all kinds of people appeared one after another.

Qiao Changming stood in the center, with a thin face, dark complexion, and a pair of bright eyes under his light eyebrows.

"Li Tian, ​​you are finally here!" Qiao Changming looked down at him.

Li Tian was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes, I am here, but Mr. Qiao's hospitality does not seem to be very friendly."

Qiao Changming leaned on his cane and said in a powerful voice: "The Qiao family is determined to gain control of Binhai, and you are a stumbling block. I don't care who you are or who is behind you. My Qiao family dares to eliminate you, but I, Qiao Changming, have always valued talent, and I am willing to give you a chance to live."

"What chance?"

"Hold a press conference and swear allegiance to our Qiao family. All the properties in Binhai are actually controlled by our Qiao family."
