The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Chapter 144: Getting involved with the lackey

"Hahahaha! A real man does not stick to formalities. As long as it can help my Hua's Business to improve, I can take down the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention the Lan's Business. What's the big deal about a mere Lan's Business?"

Crazy! Zeng Wenyu could only use the word "crazy" to describe Hua Jianqun's words. Of course, Hua Jianqun's voice was also full of arrogance, even to the point of being too crazy.

Looking at the arrogant Hua Jianqun in front of him, Hua Wuyue remained calm: "Aren't you afraid that the City Lord's Mansion will settle the score with you later? You should know that you have smuggled a lot of military supplies over the years, and even a lot of them have flowed into the enemy country. Aren't you afraid that the City Lord's Mansion will accuse you of treason?"

"The City Lord's Mansion? If it was the old Li Chengzhong, I would still be a little afraid, but now it's not Li Chengzhong anymore. It's his youngest son Li Pingping who is the current City Lord. What should I be afraid of? If I don't take this opportunity to make the Hua family the number one family in Andong City, do I have to be so cautious?"

"Ugh……"

Hua Wu Yue let out a long sigh. She knew that no matter what she said, Hua Jianqin in front of her and the people outside were not going to listen to her. They had been blinded by the huge benefits.

"Marx once said that if there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, capital will risk being hanged; if there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all laws. It seems that the profit you get from smuggling is higher than 300%, otherwise you would not choose to continue doing this after Emperor Kang came."

Zeng Wenyu's voice sounded from the side, and the people who were originally surrounding the meeting hall looked at him.

"Who are you? How come you are in my Hua family?" someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Shh... This is the man who followed Li Pingping before. He was the one who defeated Li Zhongming at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and allowed Li Pingping to get the City Lord's seal."

Someone who was well-informed recognized Zeng Wenyu's appearance and whispered the matter to people around him.

Upon hearing Zeng Wenyu's identity, the crowd began to stir, but soon quieted down and made way for the middle. A young man walked out of the passage made by the crowd.

"So you are the acting city lord's lackey. I am Hua Jianqin, the head of the Hua family. I am sorry for not coming in person to welcome you. I am so disrespectful."

Zeng Wenyu ignored what Hua Jianqun said. Huang Quan and Li Shengnan followed behind him. The three of them walked into the meeting hall of the Hua Mansion through the vacated passage.

Seeing Zeng Wenyu and the other two walking past him without paying any attention to him, Hua Jianqun looked very unhappy. He felt that he was the focus of the whole audience, but Zeng Wenyu's disregard was like a slap in the face, making his face hot.

"Sister Hua~" Zeng Wenyu walked into the meeting hall and greeted Hua Wu Yue who was sitting in the main seat.

Seeing Zeng Wenyu, Hua Wuyue's expressionless face showed a bright smile: "Little brother, why are you here?"

Walking to Hua Wuyue's side, Zeng Wenyu took her hand and kissed her on the face: "When something like this happened to the Hua family, how could I not come to help? It just so happens that I found my senior sister, and I want to introduce her to you."

"Senior Sister?" Hua Wu Yue looked at Li Shengnan who was next to Zeng Wenyu. Thinking of her relationship with Zeng Wenyu, she blushed suddenly.

"Yes, this is my third senior sister. Um... you can just call her Third Senior Sister," Zeng Wenyu lowered his voice when he said this. "My Third Senior Sister doesn't like to be introduced by name in front of many people."

"Hello, Third Senior Sister!"

Not only Hua Wu Yue, but also Hua Nong Yu, Lan Shuang and Zhang Qing who were standing behind her greeted Li Shengnan.

Li Shengnan looked at the four women in front of her. She turned around and looked at Zeng Wenyu in surprise. In her eyes there was not only surprise but also some contempt. However, when she turned around and greeted them, the contempt in her eyes had long disappeared, leaving only joy.

"Senior Sister also just found out about your relationship. I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything for you..."

Li Shengnan had just finished speaking when her hand touched the gourd at her waist when Hua Jianyin's voice behind her interrupted her movements.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you guys take me too seriously?" Hua Jianqin's voice was still as wild as ever. He pointed at Hua Wuyue and said, "I was wondering why you went against the family's decision. It turns out you became Li Pingping's lackey's mistress. No wonder you disregarded the interests of the Hua family and didn't want us to continue our previous business."

This was the second time Hua Jianqin called Zeng Wenyu a "running dog". Hua Wuyue's face began to show murderous intent. If she hadn't come back yesterday to give the Hua family a good beating, how could Li Pingping let the Hua family go today? If it weren't for the relationship between Zeng Wenyu and Hua Wuyue, how could the Hua family be unscathed after participating in those things, and even have the mood to consider continuing smuggling?

"Brother, you passed!"

"Hahahaha, it's over? What's over? Just because you, Hua Wu Yue, are afraid of Li Pingping and are involved with Li Pingping's lackeys, doesn't mean that I'm afraid of him. It doesn't mean that the people behind me who support me are afraid of Li Pingping! Everyone, don't you agree?"

"Yes, we are not afraid of that so-called acting city lord at all. He only became the acting city lord because he told his father's secrets. If not, who would he be!"

Those who supported Hua Jianchun kept speaking. They didn't care who was the city lord. They only cared about who was blocking their way to wealth.

Looking at these people, Zeng Wenyu shook his head. These people could not be saved. He turned to look at Hua Wuyue: "Sister Hua, do we really need to keep these people?"

"What do you mean?" After hearing Zeng Wenyu's words, Hua Wu Yue hadn't answered yet, but those people had already started asking.

"That's exactly what it means. Would keeping you here bring greater danger to the Hua family in the future?"

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Our Hua family is protected by Patriarch Hua. It's not just your opinion that counts, even if you are Li Pingping's lackey!"

"I'm talking to you...Your name is Hua Jianqin, right? Do you really think that the Hua family ancestor will protect you? I think the Hua family ancestor is now hoping that you will all die here, so that if the Central Imperial City investigates in the future, the Hua family can reasonably avoid punishment. Otherwise, leaving you here will always be a time bomb." Having said this, Zeng Wenyu looked at Hua Wuyue, "What do you think, Sister Hua? If you can't do it, how about I do it?"

"Little brother, you underestimate me too much. I just want to see what they can say in the end. As for taking action? Of course I will clean up the mess myself!"
