Chapter 65: Old Friends Reunited, Liu's Father and Son
Liu Mengyao kept trying to break free from the shackles of the guest, and was obviously not convinced.
He opened his mouth, revealing two fangs, and said menacingly, "Let me go!"
"I just want to see you and ask you for a favor. Why are you so fierce?" Shang Yuwan frowned slightly.
But how could a seven-year-old child have such a bad temper?
"Bah! You..."
Li Chi was the first to react and gave Liu Mengyao a slap on the head.
"You are an honored guest, please do not be rude!"
Liu Mengyao was furious: "I'll bite you to death!"
"Yesterday I brought you food and you had the nerve to bite me!" Li Chi chuckled, "You can't even beat me, and you still dare to yell? If I hadn't been careless, would I have fallen into your trap?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Yuwan turned and looked at Coroner Li.
Coroner Li was silent for a moment. "Chi'er has been sensible and well-behaved since she was little. Seeing that I'm old, she often helps me with things. As a result, her hands are stronger than those of ordinary children. A few days ago, she even learned some martial arts from a martial artist on another street."
After hearing this, Shang Yuwan didn't say anything. He stood up and had some guesses in his mind.
Judging from the speed at which Liu Mengyao attacked just now, Li Chi would not be his opponent. Liu Mengyao was just giving Li Chi the benefit of the doubt.
Li Chi ignored Liu Mengyao's grin, turned around and pulled Shang Yuwan's hand, "Sir, I taught him a lesson for you, don't be angry."
Shang Yuwan chuckled. This clever girl didn't want to make her angry at all. She was obviously afraid that she would get angry and someone would hurt Liu Mengyao.
"Thank you, Chi'er. I'm fine."
Li Chi felt a little relieved when he saw that Shang Yuwan did not look angry.
Since she was little, she often listened to her grandfather's teachings that she must be humble and submissive when dealing with dignitaries and nobles, and not be too aggressive in her actions. Just a little bit of their wealth that was revealed between their fingers was enough for an ordinary family to live a comfortable life.
But the same is true of the power they hold. With just a little exertion, an ordinary family will inevitably be shattered and can never be rebuilt, or even die with hatred without any help.
Other common people teach their children in the same way, so most children in the common people learn to read people's faces and act accordingly since childhood. Moreover, Li Chi often has to come into contact with people above him in order to make a living, so naturally, Li Chi would not be as ignorant as a child of a few years old.
Although Shang Yuwan had a much better temper than the dignitaries she had met before, Li Chi was still afraid of her.
The brother in black subdued the brat Liu Mengyao in the blink of an eye before anyone could react. She didn't even see where he came from. The brother in black knew the adults and was very respectful to them, obviously obeying her orders.
Li Chi was afraid that Shang Yuwan would suddenly get angry and ask the brother in black to kill Liu Mengyao.
She had seen City Lord Gao kill people before. He was cruel, cold, and ruthless.
Killing an ordinary citizen is as easy as stepping on an ant, either accidentally or intentionally.
Human life is as insignificant as a blade of grass, and an ant cannot shake a tree. Coroner Li often used this sentence to warn Li Chi.
But Li Chi didn't want Liu Mengyao to die.
She was still young and did not have such deep feelings for Liu Mengyao, but she could not bear to see her brother, who was also an orphan like her, die tragically under the knife.
How could Shang Yuwan not see Li Chi's little thoughts, and reached out to gently rub her head.
"I was asking him for a favor. It's okay. I won't hurt him."
Li Chi nodded. "Your Excellency is a good man. If there is anything you need my help with, just let me know. I will do my best!"
Shang Yuwan agreed with a smile.
Coroner Li stood aside. Apart from being a little frightened by Liu Mengyao's sudden attack, he looked calm and didn't care whether Shang Yuwan would be angry.
Li Chi was only ten years old, and he couldn't see things as clearly as an old man like him. He had seen and remembered everything Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qinggu had done in the past few days, and knew that Shang Yuwan was not the kind of noble person who was high and mighty.
When Shang Yuwan knocked on the door, Li Fu pretended to be humble and submissive, just wanting to test whether her thoughts were consistent with his.
"Chi'er, go back to your room first, okay?"
Li Chi looked at Shang Yuwan, then at the vicious Liu Mengyao, and nodded.
"Master, be careful. This kid likes to bite people."
Shang Yuwan nodded and called out "Coroner Li".
Coroner Li stepped forward and said, "Sir."
"Lead the way, let's go see Liu Ziqi's body." Shang Yuwan glanced at Liu Mengyao, "Find a rope to tie him up, and come with me."
Coroner Li answered yes.
Seeing that she had nothing to do with it, Li Chi immediately followed Shang Yuwan's instructions and left, but before leaving, he waved his fist at Liu Mengyao. Liu Mengyao snorted coldly, but his eyes were always on her until he couldn't even see the corner of her skirt.
Shang Yuwan took a step to the left and said, "What are you still looking at? Everyone has gone far away."
Liu Mengyao looked up and glared at her.
Shang Yuwan smiled and said, "Let's go, we still have things to do."
"I will never help you! Absolutely!"
In the morgue, Coroner Li lifted the white cloth. Shang Yuwan had just taken a look at Liu Ziqi's face when he heard Liu Mengyao shouting behind him.
"......" Shang Yuwan frowned slightly. This child is good-looking, but his temperament is really unpleasant.
She looked at Liu Ziqi's face carefully again and waved to Liu Mengyao, "Bring him here."
Liu Mengyao's hands were tied tightly behind his back. The child was very fierce towards others, but Shang Yuwan did not tolerate him. She grabbed his collar with one hand and stood in front of Liu Ziqi's body for comparison.
"You two are a bit alike."
Liu Mengyao was held in Shang Yuwan's hand like a chicken, and was panicked for a moment: "Let me go! I don't know what you are talking about!"
Even with his face poked out, he still looks like a ghost!
Shang Yuwan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Interesting.
Xiao Qinggu brought two people to find Shang Yuwan, and saw this scene when they walked into the morgue.
Xiao Qing, despite her status as a princess, was willing to come to the charity cemetery and even enter the morgue. Coroner Li stepped forward to greet her with deep trepidation, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness."
Shang Yuwan also let go and walked forward to salute with Lou Ke.
Shang Yuwan glanced over and took another look at the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes behind Xiao Qinggu.
She recognized him, even if he was burned to ashes.
Xiao Qinggu waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you something. This person is a close confidant of Prince Zeng, named Zhou Zhou."
The young man was wearing a gray robe with silver threads and had a handsome appearance. He bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."
Shang Yuwan returned the gift.
"This is Yue Zhu, the commander of the Longwu Army, who was sent by my father to visit me and see if he can help."
Yuezhu was dressed in his usual black clothes and looked at the monk Yuwan.
There was a cold look in Shang Yuwan's eyes.
In the previous life, he killed her with his own hands and almost killed Shang Mingqi, the leader of the Longwu Army...
The words "Yuezhu" stirred up a turmoil in Shang Yuwan's heart. Before the instinctive fear of the person who killed him could rise, hatred for the accomplice first filled his heart... all in a moment.
In just a moment, Shang Yuwan controlled himself and calmly saluted Yuezhu.
She had already prepared herself to meet acquaintances at any time, so she would not panic when she saw Yue Zhu.
What's strange is that the Longwu Army only obeys the orders of the emperor. What they should do most is to guard the imperial palace and protect the emperor's safety. What is he doing in Luzhou City as the commander?
Given Yue Zhu's identity, even if the old man wanted to test him, there was no need for him to come in person.
Let’s get down to business first. The other posters should have asked someone to check.
Shang Yuwan said: "Princess, there is a clue."
She noticed that Yue Zhu's eyes were always on her face, and she sneered in her heart but did not show it on her face.
Xiao Qinggu came here just for this matter and asked hurriedly, "What clue?"
Shang Yuwan turned sideways and looked at Liu Mengyao who was standing next to Liu Ziqi.
"They are father and son."
