The audience was filled with surprised faces.
These people have experienced many ups and downs, and can definitely be considered among the top people in Kyoto.
Many clan leaders have participated in abdication ceremonies, but I've never seen one this brief.
There was no emcee, no introduction, and no preamble.
It was so brief that no one had time to react.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Li Hongbing stared at Luo Hongqing behind Luo He and fell into deep thought.
This is likely related to a message sent from the military.
But what kind of explosive news could make Luohe so eager to end the banquet?
Did they bring such a large group of people here just to hear you say this one sentence?
He had prepared a whole host of backup plans in order to force Luohe to relinquish his power.
Now he has voluntarily relinquished all his power.
The victory came so quickly that some people couldn't react in time.
It was like punching cotton, with no point of contact whatsoever.
Li Hongbing glanced at the young man in the corner.
Or rather...
All of this is still related to him.
Qin Bai, oh Qin Bai.
I hope you don't get involved today, otherwise I'll have to use all my backup plans on you.
He Lingyu moved closer to Qin Bai, her eyes gleaming with a seductive light.
"I knew it was you, it must be you, right?"
"What the hell is me?"
"Isn't Luohe's anxiety due to you? Denying it won't help; this must be part of your scheme."
Qin Bai glared at her, annoyed. "Can't you use your brain? I'm not powerful enough to influence the military, and besides..."
"I don't care, I don't care. If others can't do it, you definitely will."
He Lingyu has completely lost her mind and is now over-interpreting Qin Bai's plan.
No matter what others say, it's all his credit.
Qin Bai helplessly advised, "Please be normal. If you don't want to use your brain, just donate it."
While the two were struggling, Luo He slowly walked down from the platform.
Hearing the footsteps, Qin Bai's hair stood on end.
Holy crap.
Is this old man here specifically for me?
His mind raced, and he quickly shut He Lingyu up; that woman was incredibly noisy.
A few seconds later, cold sweat dripped silently down his temples.
Once suspicion arises about something, if you follow that line of reasoning, you'll soon see the end.
If I'm not mistaken, the protagonist of today's show is about to change.
Without hesitation, he pulled He Lingyu outside.
Damn it.
These idiots are insane.
They actually thought they could get the Luo family out of this mess? The military is really damn protective of their own, they don't even treat me like a human being.
You wait and see.
When you beg me one day, I will repay you tenfold.
"Qin Bai, don't rush off. I have a few words to say to you."
I won't listen.
Hearing Luo He's voice, Qin Bai quickened his pace.
"It's no use you leaving now. You won't be able to leave Kyoto until the matter is resolved."
Qin Bai turned his head coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
"How could I dare? I'm just a penniless old man now, powerless and without any influence. What strength do I have to threaten you?"
Luo He shook off his previous dejection, as if he had figured something out. His face was filled with innate confidence, and he looked much younger.
Qin Bai sneered: "Heh! Don't think I can't do anything to your Luo family."
“Our feud has been settled. Even if you want to deal with the Luo family now, you have to ask Young Master Li for his consent.”
Luo He turned to look at Li Hongbing, and asked with a smile, "You're right, aren't you, nephew? Hahaha~~~"
He's smiling happily now.
Once you get out of a dead end and stop dwelling on things, you feel much more refreshed.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Li Hongbing's expression suddenly froze, and he stared at Luo He with a gloomy face, as if he understood.
I never imagined that I would one day become a pawn.
It doesn't matter, as long as the pieces are strong enough, they can still become chess players.
Today is the best opportunity.
He quickly regained his composure, took a few steps forward, and stood in the center of the banquet hall.
"Luo He is right, Qin Bai. If you want to continue to deal with the Luo family, then you are going against me."
Those around him looked on in astonishment.
Today is really strange. Luo He hastily ended his abdication, and Li Hongbing wants to stand up for the Luo family.
Some people who knew the inside story had already begun to retreat, preparing to leave without anyone noticing.
This is already considered a secret of a large family; knowing too much about it will only bring trouble.
There's a right and wrong way to enjoy the show; you can't just get caught up in the drama yourself.
Luo He cupped his hands in apology to those around him: "Everyone, today's banquet will be suspended for a while. I will set up a few tables tonight to apologize to you all."
Those around him felt as if they had been granted a pardon, greeted him, and walked away.
A few minutes later, the banquet hall was empty except for today's main characters.
Luo He smiled and said, "Why don't we sit down and talk? If we can't clear this up today, we probably won't be able to chat when we meet again."
Li Hongbing laughed and said, "I don't care, I just don't know if Boss Qin dares to do it."
After speaking, he walked to the table several dozen meters away and sat down in the main seat with a calm expression.
Luo Jingyi bowed and said, "Grandpa, please handle today's matter."
"Hehe, alright, I'll help the Luo family one last time."
After saying that, he walked over with his hands behind his back and casually sat down in a chair.
Luo Hongqing looked at Qin Bai, who was standing still, with eyes full of apology.
"I......"
"Second Uncle," Qin Bai interrupted him directly, "I know there are some things you can't decide, this is probably the result of your best efforts."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hongqing's eyes reddened, and he sighed.
"Sigh, I've used everything I could, but I still dragged you down with me. It's all my fault for being useless."
At this moment, Qin Bai had regained his usual composure and calmness.
He reached out and squeezed Luo Hongqing's shoulder: "Second Uncle, that's enough. You should still have your position, right?"
"I have already turned in my sidearm."
Qin Bai was somewhat moved.
He had underestimated Luo Hongqing's courage. For him and Luo Qingyan, this second uncle had done everything he could, even risking everything he had.
He looked at Li Hongbing and Luo He waiting for him in the distance.
It seems I have no way out.
If I were to simply walk away, perhaps today's matter would be over, but what would happen to those who helped me?
Luo Yuquan hasn't shown up yet, so his situation is probably not much better than Luo Hongqing's. Everyone is waiting.
Waiting to see how I'll act out this scene.
Since that's the case.
How could I possibly let you down?
Qin Bai smiled and slowly walked towards the stage.
