Chapter 269 Must Stand on My Sister's Side
There was a flash of darkness in Lizhan's eyes, but it was gone in an instant.
Judging from Luo Cheng's attitude, he knew that the other party should have been alert and he could not get any more out of him. Moreover, for some reason, he inexplicably did not want to ask any more questions.
He nodded and walked towards the door, saying, "Sorry to bother you."
"Wait a moment." Luo Cheng stopped him.
"Brother, you came to my house without any reason, asked me all sorts of questions, and now you're leaving. You should at least tell me your name and what you're doing, right?"
Lizhan turned around and said directly without any intention of lying: "My name is Lizhan. I won't reveal what I do. I'm sorry for being so rude today."
When Luo Cheng heard the name, he immediately felt unhappy.
Since he had looked into Xia Juanjuan's affairs, he naturally knew that the man she married was called Li Zhan, a soldier.
Moreover, she gave birth to three sons for this man, a total of three treasures in one pregnancy.
Luo Cheng has always been able to allow himself to be a little casual, and comfort himself in his heart that he met Xia Juanjuan too late, otherwise, Xia Juanjuan would not have chosen her man instead of him.
But now... after meeting Lizhan in person, Luo Cheng suddenly became less confident.
Isn't it just... that she looks a little better than him?
There's also a guy who seems to be a little taller than him, and his muscles seem to be more toned than his?
The childish masculine competitive instinct in Luo Cheng's heart was instantly ignited.
Luo Cheng sneered, "A fierce battle? I'm afraid you have been eyeing us for a long time. Now that we meet today, are you interested in practicing with me?"
Li Zhan frowned slightly and said calmly: "If you mean the questions I asked today, I apologize. I won't practice my skills or anything like that. We have discipline..."
Having said that, he continued walking towards the door.
Luo Cheng felt even more unhappy.
He is not the kind of person who would attack others easily.
But today, he took the initiative to issue a challenge, but was directly rejected. This was simply an insult to him and a sign of contempt for him!
Li Zhan had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing behind his ear.
He immediately turned his head to avoid it and raised his arms to block it. In a flash, the two of them had already exchanged several moves.
Luo Cheng didn't get any advantage, but he secretly admired him in his heart.
This man's skills are pretty good, at least not worse than his.
However, Luocheng refused to admit defeat.
It was just a sneak attack, so he was actually a bit careless, just trying to force a fight.
Next, it’s time to get serious.
"You're quite skilled. Come again!" Luo Cheng grinned and said in a somewhat rogue way.
Having said that, without waiting for Lizhan to refuse, he rushed over.
Li Zhan was a little depressed. He responded with restraint, "If you are worried that I will tell on you or leak your affairs, you don't have to. I'm not here for this."
However, Luocheng had no intention of stopping.
Luo Cheng learned grappling and other martial arts from his grandfather since he was young. He has used them frequently in recent years as he has been hanging out outside, so he has become very proficient in them.
A strong fighting ability is acquired through practice in actual combat. The reaction, strength, precision and effectiveness of the movements are all top-notch. The moves are not fancy, but very practical.
After a few rounds, Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel depressed.
Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that if the fight continued, his skills and habits would be observed by Lizhan, and by then, it would no longer be an evenly matched match as it seemed on the surface, but would turn into a one-sided crushing of strength.
After all, Lizhan is still restraining himself and giving in. His style of play is more defensive and less offensive, and it is obvious that he is not giving his all.
While I was fighting, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Zhan and Luo Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and stopped at the right time.
Luo Cheng looked at Li Zhan with some displeasure, then went to open the door.
Fu Nanzheng stood at the door and asked with a smile: "Luocheng, why are you visiting in broad daylight? You are not doing anything with some lesbian, are you..."
As he said this, he looked into the yard, and when he saw Li Zhan, Fu Nanzheng was stunned.
How did these two people who have nothing in common get in touch with each other?
"Li Zhan? Why are you here?"
Li Zhan was also stunned for a moment. Fu Nanzheng knew this guy named Luo Cheng?
Suddenly, he remembered that a few years ago, when he went to the Fu family in the compound, Mr. Fu often played chess with a Mr. Luo.
However, not long after that, Mr. Luo was pushed down and moved out, and later he passed away.
Could it be that that old man Luo is the grandfather of Luocheng?
If this is the case, then it would make sense for Fu Nanzheng to know Luocheng.
Luo Cheng was also puzzled and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Li Zhan glanced at Luo Cheng and shouted, "Third Brother."
Luo Cheng: “…”
Isn't Xia Juanjuan's man a poor country boy who served in the army? How did he know Fu Nanzheng who grew up in the compound?
However, he soon figured it out.
Lizhan's skills are quite good, and the compelling aura emanating from his body, although not easy to detect, is definitely something that only someone who has experienced many life-and-death situations can have.
Li Zhan's position is not low, so it is normal for him to know people from the Fu family.
After thinking this through, Luo Cheng felt even more depressed.
It would be fine if I'm not as skilled as others, but now even my status and career are not as good as others. Any man would be unhappy.
Fu Nanzheng scratched his head and smiled, "This is really a coincidence. I was saying that I would like to introduce you to each other when there is a chance. But you two are both busy and it is rare for you to go back to Beijing, so you have never succeeded. In the end, you got to know each other first..."
I couldn't help but ask, "But how did you two know each other?"
Luo Cheng and Li Zhan were both speechless.
I can't tell Fu Nanzheng that the two of them were just sparring with each other...
As for acquaintance, I can't really say that.
Luo Cheng coughed and said, "I met him on the street."
just now.
Fu Nanzheng: “…”
Li Zhan said, "Third brother, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Fu Nanzheng suddenly recalled that day when he ran into a lesbian who looked like Xia Juanjuan coming out of Luocheng at the entrance of the alley.
Lizhan... Could it be that he knew something and came here on purpose to investigate?
Thinking of this, Fu Nanzheng couldn't help but feel a little worried. He subconsciously stopped Li Zhan and said with a smile, "Don't. I wanted to introduce you two to each other. It's a rare opportunity for us to meet today. Let's have a meal together. By the way, Luocheng, didn't a girl come to your place ten days ago? Tell me honestly, are you interested in her? Or should I invite her over as well?"
Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment. What was Fu Nanzheng talking about? Didn't he explain it last time? Why did he suddenly bring it up again?
Before he could express his doubts, Fu Nanzheng spoke again: "Lizhan, don't be scared when you see that girl. I was scared the last time I ran into her. She looks so much like Juanjuan that I almost mistook her for her!"
After hearing this, Li Zhan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The ten days ago that Fu Nanzheng mentioned, isn’t that the time when he came here to ask this time?
Luo Cheng now understood that Fu Nanzheng wanted him to help him tell a lie.
"Luocheng, that girl is from the Northeast, right? She came here to visit her relatives, and she hasn't returned yet, right?"
Fu Nanzheng asked, trying his best to wink at him calmly.
Luo Cheng sighed and had no choice but to go along with the story and said, "Fu Nanzheng, don't talk nonsense! She's already engaged in the village and has already returned to her hometown in the northeast. Isn't it ruining the girl's reputation by saying this?"
Fu Nanzheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Luo Cheng was smart enough to smooth over the matter.
Regardless of whether the girl last time was Xia Juanjuan or not, he didn't want any rift to arise between Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan.
In the end, it seemed that he decided to stand on Xia Juanjuan's side.
There's no way. Who makes Li Zhan a grown man and Xia Juanjuan very likely to be his sister?
Even if his sister was wrong, he would still choose to protect her!
After hearing this, Li Zhan's expression softened a little.
Although I still feel it is a bit strange, but... maybe Wu Shao and Jiefang really just mistook him for the wrong person.
Otherwise, how to explain that Juanjuan was in Beijing in the afternoon and in the village at the same time, forcing Liu Lan to confess, and then went into the mountains alone to look for those guys?
"Let's go, we're going to have the copper stove mutton hotpot at Donglaishun. Luocheng is treating us today." Fu Nanzheng smiled guiltily.
Luo Cheng was helpless: "Why am I the one treating?"
Fu Nanzheng glared at him and said coldly, "Because you have money."
Moreover, he was still complaining. Why would he bother his sister if there was nothing wrong?
Li Zhan didn't really want to have dinner with Luo Cheng. Although according to Fu Nanzheng's words, he probably misunderstood Luo Cheng before, it didn't prevent him from being unhappy with Luo Cheng in his heart.
However, he couldn't persuade Fu Nanzheng, so he ate the meal obediently.
After dinner, Luo Cheng had something else to do, so he left first.
Li Zhan called out to Fu Nanzheng.
Fu Nanzheng was shocked. Could it be that Lizhan still doubted about Xia Juanjuan?
Li Zhan did not ask about this, but asked softly: "Third brother, there is something I want to ask for your advice on how to deal with it."
Fu Nanzheng was stunned for a moment: "What do you want to say? Just tell me. What is our relationship? Do you need to be so hesitant?"
Li Zhan pondered for a moment, then told Fu Nanzheng about his relationship with Shen Wanxue.
He absolutely trusts the Fu family and is not afraid that they will tell others.
After hearing this, Fu Nanzheng's expression became unusually serious.
