Chapter 488

Cigarette butts and sporadic flames flickered in the dark room.

Bang!

With a bang, the two bodyguards guarding outside the door were excited all over, hurriedly pressed the handle and rushed into the room: "big and small!"

The room was dark and thick smoke swirled around, choking the two bodyguards with a violent cough.

Reach out and grope around the wall, find the switch and turn it on. A large area of light suddenly poured into the spacious room.

Chen Hongming reclined in his chair with a half burnt cigarette in his mouth. A pile of cigarette butts and ashes had fallen under his feet. In the corner is a broken tea lamp and an ancient porcelain vase broken by the tea lamp.

"Da Shao, this..."

"Get out!" Chen Hongming's voice was hoarse and his eyes were covered with scarlet blood.

The two bodyguards looked at each other. They were afraid to disobey. They nodded gently, answered "yes", and then retreated out again and took the door.

After a while, a series of smashing sounds in the room rang, followed by Chen Hongming's vague roar.

A bodyguard flashed worried at the bottom of his eyes. He just wanted to push the door in again, but he was stopped by another bodyguard.

Gently shook his head: "Ledu is in a bad mood. Don't go in and ask for mildew."

"HMM." nodded. The bodyguard retracted again, stood quietly behind the door, listened to the noise from time to time in the room, and his eyelids jumped wildly.

About ten minutes later, the house was quiet, and at this time, an uninvited guest came.

Li Xian walked slowly into the hall, stood a little far from the door, and hesitated a little.

"Master Li." although Li Xian has lost his power, no one knows whether he will have a chance to make a comeback after 30 years of East and West. Therefore, the two bodyguards still dare not neglect and quickly bowed down and shouted.

With a slight nod, Li Xian came over and smiled kindly, "are you there?"

He winked at Li Xian. The bodyguard lowered his voice and said, "I'm in a bad mood. Master Li should come back another day."

Li Xian nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped halfway, pondered for a long time and turned around: "I'll go in and have a look."

"If you lose your temper, young master Li will bear more." the bodyguard was helpless. He had to give a warning, unscrew the door, and whispered to the inside, "young master Li is coming."

There was no response in the room. Li Xian nodded slightly to the two bodyguards and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, his shoes kicked a broken ceramic jar. The jar rolled uncontrollably forward, rubbing against pieces of porcelain, glass and sculpture, making a series of unpleasant sounds.

Li Xian glanced around. The room was full of mess. It seems that everything that can be used has been smashed by Chen Hongming.

Chen Hongming leaned against the leaning rich tree beside the sofa with a decadent face. Li Xian's eyes paused on him, then turned around and slowly closed the door.

"Big little." Li Xian called softly, and his words were a little stiff. This word made him feel quite uncomfortable. If he didn't depend on others, the original Li family also called Li Xian himself in this way.

Chen Hongming lowered his head and stared at the patterns on the floor without speaking.

Li Xian's Adam's apple rolled and stood there. After a long time, he whispered, "I've heard about Ledu."

"Ha ha, ha ha." Chen Hongming smiled twice, raised his head and stared at Li Xian with a ferocious face. "You've heard more than that. Now no one knows the whole port! My Chen family is their laughing stock!"

Li Xian's face changed and took a half step forward: "it's common for winning and losing soldiers. Even if Li Qing takes a little advantage this time, we still have a great advantage."

"Cheap?" Chen Hongming twitched in the corners of his eyes. "You can say that? Do you know how much it is? The wealth of the underground vault can buy your whole Li family!"

"What do you tell me about winning and losing soldiers? I ask you, is there such an ordinary failure in the world!" Chen Hongming suddenly burst into a rage, raised his hand and kicked out the overturned tea table around him. "Once again, as long as you do it again, the Chen family will be finished! You can rest assured, I can't rest!"

Li Xian clenched his teeth: "things have happened, and there is no way to be angry. I didn't come to Chen's house to see the excitement."

"It didn't happen to you, so you didn't care so much? Hehe, you didn't come to see the excitement, of course you didn't." Chen Hongming said with a strange smile, "you didn't come to take refuge, a lost dog. But don't be too proud. The big tree of the Chen family fell down, and there won't be any tree in the world for you to enjoy the shade."

Li Xian's face suddenly cooled down: "what do you mean? If I just want to live, I won't stay in Lingang at all. Where can I use the big tree of your Chen family to hide in the shade?"

Chen Hongming blinked and suddenly looked at Li Xian with a rather strange look: "do you know what people outside think of you now? Kill your father with your son!" his face suddenly turned purple. Li Xian stared round and took a deep breath: "it doesn't matter. Sooner or later they will believe that Li Qing did all this. He killed my father, not me." "But you did it, didn't you?" Chen Hongming spread his hands. "There is no witness or material evidence. But you can't fool me. I know your temperament too well. If they are caught by the Li family, will they skin you?" "Li Xian, I Chen Hongming never think I'm a good man, but what you do really makes me sick!" Li Xian could not help shaking slightly: "what do you mean?" Chen Hongming suddenly came forward, grabbed Li Xian's collar with one hand and stared at him: "Do you know what use you have for me now? It's useless! When you appeared at the back door of the Chen family, I was merciful to let you in. If I hadn't saved you, you would have been kidnapped and sent to the Li family for a reward in less than three hours. Your current value is not even as good as that group of hounds I keep! I'm still the only way to provide shelter for you One purpose is not to let Li Qing have too much fun. "Staring at Chen Hongming's bloodshot eyes, Li Xian's voice was as cold as frost:" Chen Hongming, I call you big or small, which has given you enough face. Don't go too far. Li Qing has gone crazy. He killed me and will kill you in the same way. At most, we are just the difference between dying early and dying late. " Chen Hongming sneered: "If Li Yuanwu were here, I would treat him with courtesy. After all, he is the second master of the Li family, the only son of Li Qizhi, and one generation higher than Li Qing. Even if he is an asshole, there are still people in the Li family who support him, and Li Qing still doesn't dare to touch him. But what are you! A wild species with unknown origin killed his father himself, who will recognize you in the Li family? Are you serious I don't think I can hear the rumors outside! "That's enough!" Li Xian suddenly broke away from Chen Hongming's hand and staggered back to the wall. His back leaned against the wall and gasped. Chen Hongming rubbed his wrist and looked at Li Xian dimly: "As early as five years ago, I made a plan to harvest the Li family. But my father disagreed. He said that the balance of the four families in Lingang has been maintained for a hundred years. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Breaking the rules rashly will only bring great difficulties to the Chen family." "Now it seems that my father was wrong. If he had destroyed the Li family earlier, you would not have been in a high position, and Li Qing could not easily seize the power of the Li family. What did he take against me? Maybe he was dead from the moment he landed in Lingang!" you are too confident in yourself. "Li Xianping said in a deep voice, "I don't want to quarrel with you today, and I don't want to be humiliated by you." "what are you doing here?" Chen Hongming kicked a broken statue out of his feet for a long time. "Do you want to be like it?" Li Xian lowered his anger and whispered, "there's only one way to deal with Li Qing now." "yes, there's only one way." Chen Hongming clenched his fist, "I've had enough of this sneaky day. Since Li Qing took the initiative to declare war, I'll accompany him." Li Xian raised his head in amazement: "what do you... Mean?" Chen Hongming seemed to be aware of his mistake, pursed his lips and said nothing. Li Xiangen didn't expect that Chen Hongming's heart would contain that shocking idea, so he didn't think much and said: "If Li Qing dares to make such a big move this time, there must be the support of other families behind the scenes. The Xie family has always been content with the status quo and strives for progress in stability. The possibility is the lowest. So if I don't expect badly, the real black hand behind the scenes should be Qi family!" "what's the meaning of what you say now?" Chen Hongming seems impatient. Li Xian stares at Chen Hongming with bright eyes: "The Li family and the Qi family are now on the edge of a cliff. The danger of the Li family is that they are fragmented and in danger. The Qi family is that they are too strong and have aroused strong dissatisfaction from the top. We just need to step back and show weakness to Li Qing. The alliance between the Li family and the Qi family will be broken and they will take the lead in biting." Chen Hongming was slightly stunned and asked with an eyebrow, "take a step back? How can I take a step back?" "narrow down the Chen family's industry and don't have any counterattack in the face of the encroachment of the Li family and the Qi family." Li Xian's eyes seemed to be shining, "it's difficult to balance the distribution of interests, which is the death point of the alliance between Li and Qi."
