Chapter 959 Huo Xingzhou is lying to you!
The Huo family had no intention of hiding their actions from others.
There were so many cars, even their license plates were connected, making it clear at a glance that something big was about to happen. The Xie family, the Guan family, and other prominent families all received the news, and they felt like the world above them was about to change.
It must be no small matter for the Huo family to mobilize so many people late at night.
Then, a police car also rushed away.
Things got out of hand.
The Li family had been keeping an eye on the Huo family's movements. Tonight's time was too coincidental. Li Cheng frantically called Pei Zheng, but the call kept saying that the service area was out of range.
This is not normal!
How could their call be lost?
What went wrong?
Li Cheng was waiting at home anxiously, but he didn't dare to make any move at this critical moment. He called other people's contact numbers and found that no one at the old dock in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital tonight could be contacted.
Find Zhao Qin!
right!
There is also Pei Zheng's lackey Zhao Qin.
He will definitely find a way to contact Pei Zheng.
No matter what Huo Xingzhou was going for, he had to stop loading the ship immediately and destroy all those things.
Otherwise, the Pei family would be finished, and if we continue to investigate, we can find the Li family.
Same deal!
Li Cheng swallowed and called Zhao Qin: "Hello, Mr. Zhao! Something happened!"
Zhao Qin said nonchalantly, "Mr. Li, don't be so timid. What can happen? I've already coaxed away the biggest threat. Huo Xingzhou has gone home to sleep. Don't scare yourself!"
"Are you sure Huo Xingzhou has returned home? Did your people see him return home?"
"Isn't it? He..."
"He took the beltway with a large number of bodyguards!"
ah!
Going down the ring road is the toll booth closest to the old dock in the northern suburbs, which takes less than ten minutes to drive there.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Have you reported it to your brother-in-law? The goods have already been loaded on the ship, and we don't know if it's too late now!" The quantity of goods was too large, so they didn't use silk this time, but long-staple cotton.
These things can protect cultural relics very well and can be burned clean when danger comes.
It is particularly easy to burn and suitable for destroying corpses.
There was nothing left, and even the fire-fighting could not save the flammable silk and long-staple cotton.
Why did Huo Xingzhou know?
He had clearly run to Shisanwan Wharf? Was that a deliberate act to show him?
Damn conspirators!
"I can't get through to Pei Zheng on the phone. I contacted his subordinates, but none of them could get through. Do you have any special contact channels? I must inform Pei Zheng about this now!"
"I... don't have any special contact channels!"
Zhao Qin was anxious and angry. "Even if there is someone, he's not with me. Who knows why the call won't go through? Is the signal blocked?"
"Mr. Zhao, these are not the things to worry about now."
Li Cheng saw that Zhao Qin was also unreliable. "Send someone to the North Suburbs Wharf immediately to inform President Pei and have him destroy the goods as soon as possible."
"It's too far from Thirteen Bay Wharf. Mr. Li is closer. Send someone over to tell my brother-in-law, and then find a way to connect the communication signal. I'm leaving now. If Huo Xingzhou really finds us, we'll have to kill them to silence them."
This is the worst-case scenario.
Anyway, the old wharf in the northern suburbs is very remote and not many people go there normally.
"Mr. Li, please leave quickly. I won't waste my time talking to you. Please make sure to protect my brother-in-law. If our Pei family is destroyed, you won't benefit from it. Bring more people with you. We will attack from both sides. Huo Xingzhou will definitely not be able to escape!"
There was a sinister tone in Zhao Qin's words, which made Li Cheng feel timid.
He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have put himself in danger for so much money. He had been thinking about coping strategies before, but now that he was really facing Huo Xingzhou, his legs actually went weak.
Zhao Qin quickly hung up the phone, apparently going to make arrangements.
But Li Cheng's face looked ugly, and he was torn between conscience and desire in his mind.
Is he going?
If he went, he might be caught on the spot. He might also team up with Pei Zheng to kill Huo Xingzhou.
Even if he wins, he still has a life on his hands. He will be completely tied to Pei Zheng in the future. He knows that his ability is not as good as Pei Zheng's, and it is very likely that all the overseas channels of the Li family will be swallowed up by Pei Zheng one by one.
Li Cheng's face turned pale. It was obvious that he had been blinded by money before and only now did he figure everything out.
"Miss, what are you doing!"
Suddenly there was a scream at the door of the study.
Li Cheng immediately went upstairs from the living room, but saw that the door of the study was open, and his beloved daughter was holding some documents in her hand.
"Nianqi, what are you holding in your hand?" Li Cheng walked closer.
Li Nianqi subconsciously hid the document behind her back. She stammered and dared not speak.
I thought this was a good opportunity, but who knew it would be discovered by a maid.
"Take out the things."
"Dad, I didn't take anything."
"Then what are you doing in my study?"
"I...I just wanted to look up some information. I didn't do anything else. Dad, it's getting late. You should get some rest."
Li Cheng said coldly: "Catch her for me."
The maid hesitated for a moment and then took action. Li Cheng directly snatched the documents from Li Nianqi's hand.
When he saw it, his eyes were bloodshot.
It turned out to be a secret cooperation letter between the Pei family and the Li family.
It clearly states the profit sharing between the Li and Pei families, as well as the illegal smuggling activities. If this cooperation agreement were to leak out, it would become evidence in court.
"What are you going to do with this thing?" Li Cheng looked at Li Nianqi and asked coldly.
This daughter is stupid!
She definitely didn't steal this thing for the Li family, there must be some conspiracy.
Li Nianqi hesitated and didn't say anything.
Li Cheng thought of a possibility in his mind, "Do you want to give this thing to Huo Xingzhou? Li Nianqi, right?"
Everyone could see how crazy she was about Huo Xingzhou.
Li Cheng originally wanted to disgust the Huo family, but he didn't expect that Li Nianqi was really moved.
"I……"
"I asked you if it was!"
Li Nianqi nodded hesitantly. "He said the Li family could find a new partner, and he would do this business to kick the Pei family out. He wouldn't harm the interests of the Li family, and he also said he would marry me after the deal was done..."
Bang!
Li Cheng slapped her hard on the face.
"You believe this kind of nonsense!"
How could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter? He wished he could have strangled her to death when she was born.
"This is my only chance! Dad, it's better to cooperate with the Huo family than the Pei family. The Pei family is..."
"Shut up! Huo Xingzhou is lying to you. As long as he gets this evidence, he will definitely kill us. What else did you leak? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter! The Pei family is definitely finished tonight. I need to make plans early."
He was still hesitating just now, but now he is distracted.
It was a cruel decision.
