"Son, is what you're saying really true?"
Xu Chengyi couldn't contain his excitement. If the Xu family could truly join the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, they would have no more worries about their business. It might even thrive better than before!
Xu Junwei quickly replied, "Dad, it's absolutely true! This is what Gongzi Xi told me personally. In a few days, he will officially go to Guanzhong to inspect our Xu family's industrial chain. If everything meets the standards, a cooperation agreement will be reached on the spot, and a press conference will be held!"
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Xu Chengyi, his old body trembling with excitement, looked at Xu Junwei with a face full of satisfaction and said, "Son, you have done a great service to our Xu family this time!"
Xu Junwei scratched his head, "That was all thanks to Dad's brilliant guidance!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Xu Chengyi nodded in satisfaction. "Knowing how to be humble is a good thing. I feel at ease entrusting the future of the Xu family to you! So, when we get back, I'll make you the general manager of the Xu family company and put you in charge of all matters. When Young Master Xi arrives in Guanzhong, you'll personally entertain him!"
Xu Junwei was stunned for a moment.
Should we make him the general manager?
Does that mean I can spend my allowance however I want?
Thinking of this, his face lit up with joy, and he said confidently, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely make this alliance happen and lead our Xu family to the top!"
Xu Chengyi nodded, then said, "In that case, let's quickly pack our things and prepare to return to Guanzhong, so we can be ready to welcome Young Master Xi's inspection!"
At this moment, the assistant suddenly said, "My lord, if we return to Guanzhong now, I'm afraid that Lin will come to cause trouble again. He won't let it go until he gets the letter of recommendation!"
Xu Chengyi paused for a moment, these words reminding him that he had visited the Wu family yesterday and met with his father-in-law, Wu Tiande. Although Wu Tiande didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was clear: he didn't want Lin Yu to receive his letter of recommendation. Moreover, he promised that if Lin Yu didn't become the heir apparent, he could support him to become the commander of Hanoi when the opportunity arose!
This was the position he had wanted before: directly under the command of Yandu, with the responsibility of protecting Yandu. He could establish his own army and eventually separate the Guanzhong region from Fengtian's jurisdiction. In terms of rank, he was on equal footing with Lin Yuanlong.
This promise pleased him greatly.
However, now, Lin Yu has a weakness that he has been given leverage over.
This leverage is Qi Wei!
If Qi Wei reveals what happened back then, even if he and the Wu family don't immediately fall out, it's hard to guarantee that Wu Tiande won't settle scores later. That old man was able to elevate him to the position of commander, and he can just as easily bring him down.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to eliminate this hidden danger!
These past few days, he's been thinking about this problem, and after much deliberation, the best solution is to kill Qi Wei!
By killing someone to silence them, there are naturally no more worries about the future.
But now that Qi Wei is in Lin Yu's hands, assassinating her will not be an easy task.
After all, he knew the strength of the Ironclad Cavalry perfectly well.
If you want to kill Qi Wei, you can only find a master from a martial arts sect!
Only those who can move high and low can possibly accomplish this arduous assassination mission!
In the past few days, he also got to know some disciples of various sects in Yandu through his connections, including a servant of the Xingyi Sect leader!
It is said that the head of Xingyi School was already a martial arts grandmaster twenty years ago! This time, he is also preparing to go to Guanzhong to participate in the martial arts tournament.
If we could get the head of the Xingyi Sect to help, killing Qi Wei shouldn't be too difficult.
Thinking of this, he quickly called his friend from the Xingyi School, explained his intentions, and asked to meet with the school's leader. He also promised some benefits.
Without hesitation, the friend immediately agreed, saying, "Lord Xu, this is a small matter. Our sect leader will have half an hour to receive guests this evening. Please come at that time, and I will inform him in advance!"
"Alright! It's settled then. I'll prepare a generous gift tonight and bring my son to pay my respects to the Grandmaster!" Xu Chengyi replied excitedly.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Junwei looked over with curiosity. "Dad, why did you meet with this Xingyi Sect leader?"
Xu Chengyi's expression was somewhat unnatural.
He never told his son about Wu Xuefang's death, and he never will.
After all, the truth is too cruel. If the son knew that he had killed his mother, even if the father and son would not become enemies, there would probably be an irreparable rift in their hearts.
He only has one son and doesn't want to take the risk.
Thinking of this, Xu Chengyi feigned anger and snorted, "What else could it be? Your little wench is shameless. She actually got involved with that Lin family brat and secretly ran away from the manor, disgracing the Xu family. I wish I could kill her immediately to wash away the shame of the Xu family!"
"Is this really true?"
After hearing this, Xu Junwei's face puffed up with anger. That crazy woman actually cheated on his father! This was outrageous! "Kill her! She must be killed! And this Lin Yu, how dare he seduce my mother! He's asking for death! One day I'll tear him to pieces!"
Xu Chengyi nodded. "I heard that the head of the Xingyi Sect is going to Guanzhong to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. Let's set off together to Guanzhong and give him a proper welcome! The Xingyi Sect has many experts. If we can win their support, it will be much easier for us to deal with that brat Lin Yu!"
Just as Xu Chengyi and his son were preparing to go to Xingyimen, Lin Yu had already returned to the hotel.
At this time, his wife had not yet come home from get off work. His mother-in-law, Zhang Ailan, had recovered well in the past two days and couldn't stay idle in the hotel, so she started going out to have fun. She found a mahjong parlor in the nearby residential area and played mahjong all day long. In the evening, she would go to the small square to find old men to dance with, keeping herself very busy.
However, Lin Yu was quite happy to have some free time.
At this moment, he was in his room, studying his mother's belongings, the Qiankun Fan!
He opened the fan and examined it carefully.
However, nothing unusual was found.
It's just a landscape painting, with a poem by Emperor Qianlong next to it.
One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces... Isn't that obvious?
Lin Yu was truly speechless when it came to Emperor Qianlong's poems.
This poem is truly superfluous on the fan, lowering the overall quality of the ancient painting.
Moreover, Lin Yu guessed that the poem was added later and had nothing to do with the fan itself.
The secret is not hidden in the poem, but most likely in the painting. However, this is just an ordinary landscape painting, and there are no subtle hints to be found yet.
This puzzled Lin Yu.
Logically speaking, what a mother would protect with her life must be extraordinary! It must contain a great secret, but what exactly is that secret?
After racking his brains without success, he took out the violet fan clasp again and gently slipped it onto the fan, intending to put it away for now.
Before putting it away, he couldn't help but hold it in his hand for a while, recalling his childhood and feeling a little sad.
Thump! Thump!
Just then, an invisible pulse emanated from the fan clasp.
This is the stirring of the Jade Heart.
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously injected a wisp of true energy into the violet fan clasp.
Wow!
The next second, my eyes lit up!
An astonishing scene unfolded!
