After opening the cabinet door, Lan Ling took out the guitar she relied on for her livelihood and carefully inspected it. After confirming that the guitar was not damaged, she breathed a sigh of relief and put it away in its case.
And at this moment, Zhou Li saw something.
“This photo…”
Zhou Li looked at the photo that was level with himself and asked Lan Ling with some confusion, "Is that you in the photo?"
In the photo, the young Bai Lan Wushuang is holding the hand of a girl with short pink and white hair who is only two or three years old, smiling brightly.
"Well, it's me."
Nodding, Lan Ling said calmly:
"This is a photo of my father and I when I was three years old. It's also the only photo we have together. When I was four, I was sent to the royal city and adopted as a daughter by Lord Zhou Yun."
"Ah."
Zhou Li nodded.
"Um?!"
Zhou Li suddenly raised his head, "Hey, that's not right?"
"Aren't you my father's illegitimate daughter?!"
"Hey?"
Chapter 59 The old man is too bad
"So what you're saying is that, under your witness, the deputy head of the Bailan family, the head of the Huangyou family, and the head of the Toast family were all beaten to their knees and begged for mercy by a black-haired man with a mysterious origin, and then they were all captured?"
In the dim room, the petite girl raised her eyes, and her pair of bright golden eyes contained only the purest emotions.
sluggish.
"Are you burning newspapers at the grave to fool the ghosts?!"
The girl's voice suddenly rose an octave. She slammed the table and stood up. Although she was less than 1.6 meters tall, she was as majestic as a tiger. "The patriarchs of the three families were all captured, and you were there? And you fainted at the perfect time, so you weren't affected at all?!"
"I'm not lying to you, Miss Victre."
Ann Pachi was about to cry. How could he know why that person always showed mercy to his men? "Really? You really have to go with me to the security team. There are space restriction runes in the security team. You are the last patriarch of the four major families. We can't lose you!!!"
"I'm going to your mother!"
The woman named Victree had absolutely no manners at all. She jumped onto the table, stepped in front of Ampachi, grabbed his collar and lifted him up, angrily yelling, "You're a complete traitor! The criminal will definitely return to the scene of the crime, right? You fooled one or two, but you want to fool four in a row?!"
"No, no!"
Apache explained tearfully, "I really didn't do that. It was Chief Bai Lan who called the police, so I went to find him. I wanted to warn Chief Toast and Chief Huang You to not let that man catch them. You see, whether it was the time or the place where the crime was committed, I..."
Ampachi was stunned for a moment, and muttered subconsciously:
"I have both."
thump.
The girl's forehead hit Apache's forehead hard, and in an instant, this unlucky guy fainted, completing the feat of fainting four times in four consecutive places in one day.
"Drag him away and put him in jail."
Victree said coldly, "Still trying to deceive me? This person is truly audacious. Once or twice would be fine, but you want to deceive four people in a row?"
The butler in a tuxedo came in and directed the servants to gracefully drag Ampachi out of the room.
"Command down."
After thinking for a moment, Victree said coldly, "Go check what happened today?"
"Understood, Miss."
Holding his chest and bowing slightly, the old butler asked softly, "Is the cargo still being shipped as usual?"
"transport."
Victree nodded and said calmly, "Don't ask me about the arms. You can handle it yourselves. My experiment has reached a critical juncture. If you don't have anything else, it's best not to come to me."
"clear."
Nodding, the old butler looked at the young lady in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Young lady, is your experiment...really going to be completed?"
“Recycling of abandoned ore residues.”
The girl breathed a sigh of relief and stretched lazily. "The previous experiment has been overturned. The main goal of the current experiment is to deeply process the residue of the original ore and create an empty shell that can accommodate magic power. If the experiment is successful, the problem of the original ore being depleted will no longer be a problem."
The old butler stood behind the girl, hesitant to speak. Then he nodded and said, "May your glory last forever."
"I will surely live forever in glory."
The girl nodded, her lips curled up slightly, and she said confidently, "I won't be like that stupid brother, who has great talent but is just like everyone else."
After saying that, the girl jumped off the chair, waved her hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work in transporting the arms. I've been running low on materials for experiments recently. Please help me replenish them."
"As you command, young lady."
The old butler watched the girl leave, his straight tailcoat fitting him perfectly. But for some reason, he seemed a little weak, his waist slightly bent, a characteristic of an old man.
“You saw it.”
He still maintained his most elegant posture, with his back to Zhou Li. The old housekeeper slowly said, "The eldest lady has always been a pure scholar. I take care of all the family affairs. The matter of Sha Bing... has nothing to do with her."
"Yeah."
After closing the door, Zhou Li and Lan Ling walked out. He looked at the old man and asked:
"You did it?"
"Ah."
The old man nodded and said calmly, "I manage the family's transportation and manufacturing, and the eldest lady never asks about it. So, even if you capture the eldest lady, you won't be able to learn anything about the shaved ice from her."
Turning around, the old butler took off the family emblem on his chest, gently placed it on the table beside him, and said softly, "Excuse me, both of you."
"Haven't you considered the consequences?"
Lan Ling's expression shifted slightly as she asked, "If your eldest daughter knew her family was involved in drug trafficking...what would she do?"
“I will be angry, sad, and hate me.”
The old man said calmly, "I don't need you to understand me, Miss. A great scholar would never understand a sinister drug dealer. I only hope you two can execute me so that the other three families can understand that the Vic family has not betrayed them."
"Do you want to protect your family?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Do not."
Shaking his head, the old man smiled with relief and said, "I just want to protect my eldest daughter."
"Only by protecting the family can you protect your eldest daughter. If you participate in drug trafficking, the other three families will not join forces to eliminate you. The materials and money your eldest daughter needs are also the profits from drug trafficking. It's just that she has no idea, and you never told her, right?"
Zhou Li asked.
"Ah."
Nodding, the old man maintained his calm tone, "I will hand over all the account books, circulation information, and transaction information of other families to you. Whether you are a messenger of justice or the drug enforcement team that wants to bring us to court, I hope this evidence will play its role."
"Including witnesses?"
Zhou Li smiled.
The old man said nothing. Then, his hand, which had been hidden at the side, suddenly clenched the dagger and stabbed it directly into his heart.
how···
Looking at his tightly gripped hand and the dagger that fell to the ground, the old man's pupils suddenly constricted. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Li, who was indifferent in front of him, and suddenly said:
"I see."
"No wonder they lost."
"Don't worry that the Vick family will be excluded by other families."
Zhou Li looked at the old man and said calmly, "In three days, there will be no so-called four major families in the Sinai Desert. The crimes you committed will also be fully settled. Of course, everyone involved will be caught in the act."
"Then I understand."
After seeing Zhou Li's appearance clearly, the old man smiled dejectedly and said with emotion:
"It's an honor to meet you."
"The second son of the Zhou family in Wangcheng, the honorable Lord Zhou Li."
·············
Ten minutes ago, in the corridor.
"Zhou Yun is your father?!"
Lan Ling looked at Zhou Li in surprise.
"hold head high···"
Zhou Li then realized that there seemed to be something wrong. He scratched his head and said sadly, "Yes, I am his son. We met during the sniper duel at Sha Er Dakeng."
"what?"
Lan Ling's expression suddenly showed doubt, "Are you Zhou Qi?"
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, "Zhou Qi is my elder brother."
"what?"
Lan Ling was even more confused.
"But my father told me..."
After a brief hesitation, Lan Ling tentatively said, "He said...his second son died of severe bleeding from hemorrhoids."
Oh my god, this dad is so bad!
