Chapter 2193 Elder Shan Comes to Provoke
Most people were not allowed to enter the Fan family manor.
There are too many people.
Each family brought dozens of skilled fighters; the number of elders in the council was over a hundred.
Fortunately, his men had all brought their own dry rations and drinking water. For people from the martial arts world, occasional wilderness survival is a basic skill and nothing special.
The Fan family treated the guests of high status very well.
Lu Chengwen and Jiang Yuanshu were in the room... well, you know.
Jiang Yuanshu was pregnant, so Lu Chengwen dared not act recklessly.
The little monkey sat on the roof, gazing into the distance with a forlorn look in its eyes.
Lu Chengwen was always very polite to her, and this politeness made her feel sad.
The way he looked at his aunt was fiery; it was a kind of liking, an irrepressible desire.
If Jiang Yuanshu hadn't been in poor health, Lu Chengwen could have practically stripped her naked with just a look.
But when facing him, Lu Chengwen was always very polite. Although he acted as if they were quite intimate, it just made the little monkey feel a sense of distance.
Ah, is it a wound that is truly difficult to heal?
Lu Chengwen would risk his life for the little monkey, but when it came to romance, he became awkward and at a loss.
Lu Chengwen also had his own difficulties.
Firstly, Jiang Yuanshu is pregnant, and he was afraid that having sex with the little monkey in front of her would upset her.
Secondly... it's true that they have a deep bond, and in crucial moments, they are both willing to risk their lives for each other.
But Lu Chengwen always felt that something was not quite right, just not quite right.
He couldn't treat the little monkey the way he treated Jiang Yuanshu.
I don't know what to do.
Jiang Yuanshu also told Lu Chengwen to treat the little monkey better. Lu Chengwen agreed verbally, but inwardly he was miserable.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Jiang Yuanzheng looked up at the roof and sighed with a smile.
Lu Chengwen opened the door: "Fourth Uncle".
Jiang Yuanzheng nodded: "Cheng Wen, are you busy? I hope I'm not bothering you?"
Jiang Yuanshu blushed and said, "Fourth Brother."
Jiang Yuanzheng walked in: "Let's have a chat."
Lu Chengwen asked, "Fourth Uncle didn't go to the meeting?"
"No." Jiang Yuanzheng poured himself some water. "They're all family heads. The old man is with my eldest brother, I'm not qualified. Last time you mentioned your brother's zero-yuan note, I searched online, and it's already been stopped."
"is it?"
“Yes!” Jiang Yuanzheng said, “The whole process was very short before it was stopped.”
Lu Chengwen sighed: "They've already pocketed almost all the money they wanted. If they don't stop now, the entire national financial system will be in chaos."
"Oh, so we didn't get any!"
Lu Chengwen said, "What business is it of ours, Tianzhu's business?"
Jiang Yuanzheng looked at Lu Chengwen: "Are you kidding me? Didn't you say we could make a fortune?!"
Lu Chengwen looked at him and asked, "Fourth Uncle, if the Fifth Elder isn't here this time, will the Jiang family protect me?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yuanzheng said, "Whether we're close or not, we're family. You're our Jiang family's son-in-law, how could we not protect you?"
"What if we offend the Elders' Council?"
"So what if they offend them? What can they do to the Jiang family?"
Jiang Yuanzheng said, "Things are different now. In the past, many resources were in the hands of the Elder Council. If the four major families wanted status, position, and money, they had to obey. But since the Five Elders loosened their grip on the four major families decades ago in the name of fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation, the four major families are now all wealthy and powerful. The Elder Council can no longer control the four major families. They have to think twice before they can touch any of them."
Just then, someone knocked on the door again.
Jiang Yuanshu opened the door, and there stood Shan Jianqing and Xiao Chongshan.
Jiang Yuanshu frowned: "Elder Shan, my apologies."
"It's alright."
Shan Jianqing pushed open the door and entered: "Where is Lu Chengwen?"
Lu Chengwen stood up: "Oh, Elder Shan Jianqing, please have a seat."
When Shan Jianqing saw Jiang Yuanzheng, he smiled and clasped his hands in greeting: "Fourth Master."
Jiang Yuanzheng laughed heartily: "Oh my, who do we have here! Isn't this Elder Shan and Little Elder? Quick, quick, here's some freshly poured water, try it and see how it tastes."
The two people sat down.
Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "Once the conflict is over, the elders will surely come up with the best strategy to deal with Skynet. I firmly believe that."
Shan Jianqing looked at Lu Chengwen: "Lu Chengwen."
"Ah."
"Don't think you're so great just because you have five old men backing you up."
Lu Chengwen was taken aback: "Elder Shan, wasn't the previous misunderstanding already resolved? Why are you still..."
Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we both know the truth.
Lu Chengwen clenched his fist.
Still beaming, he said, "Of course, of course. Well, it's mainly a feud between the older generation. We young people shouldn't get involved. Actually, I really don't like meddling in their business. If it weren't for..."
Shan Jianqing said, "In the martial arts world, the Elder Council is the most respected."
"Yes……"
"Even if the elders have a plan or explanation for what happened today, you'll still have to show some respect, some fear, and... some obedience when you see people from the Elder Council in the future. Only then can your little Yanzhao Sect have a decent meal under the care of the Elder Council. Mr. Lu, I heard your business is quite large. You understand what I'm saying, right?"
Lu Chengwen really wanted to slap him across the face.
But the thought that the high-level officials were having a meeting at the moment made me realize that if things went wrong, the harmonious situation we had worked so hard to achieve might be ruined.
Whether the old dean and Skynet are fighting like dogs or secretly cooperating, these are not matters for me to worry about for the time being.
We can't keep being hunted down by the Elders' Council!
Moreover, dismantling Skynet is a major undertaking with far-reaching implications. It concerns far more than just personal interests.
Lu Chengwen took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I've learned a lot."
"Ah, very good."
Shan Jianqing stood up: "Without the Fifth Elder standing beside him, he is indeed much more obedient."
Lu Chengwen, his face grim, looked at Shan Jianqing and said, "Respectfully seeing Elder Shan off."
Xiao Chongshan was a little embarrassed and cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Chengwen.
Jiang Yuanzheng laughed heartily: "That's good! We're all on the same side! Let's be happy as brothers and make money together!"
Shan Jianqing walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Lu Chengwen: "The Fifth Elder is getting old."
Lu Chengwen looked at him.
"He won't live for many more years."
Lu Chengwen suppressed his anger and forced a smile: "They know it themselves. Please."
Shan Jianqing refused to leave, smiling as he watched Lu Chengwen's patient demeanor: "Your master is just a crazy old man. After making such a fool of himself back then, most people would have committed suicide to atone for their sins!"
Lu Chengwen's eyes widened instantly, and he was about to make a move.
Jiang Yuanzheng immediately squeezed between the two: "Oh, good, good! We had a good chat, a good chat! In short, let the big shots decide the big things, we're all just small fry, hahaha, let's all get along well! Let's make some money and enjoy this peaceful and prosperous world, who knows, we might end up sitting together drinking sometime!"
Jiang Yuanzheng winked at Lu Chengwen: "The big picture, the big picture, we've finally achieved peace."
Shan Jianqing laughed heartily.
He placed his hand on the doorknob and opened the door a crack: "Oh, by the way, be careful next time you see me."
