Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 255

Except for Lao Wu, no one present was surprised by Sang Fuqing's words.

The eldest brother said this because Sang Fuqing had already told him once when he came today, and the eldest sister-in-law had a filter for Li Huoyue. She felt that Huohuo was so outstanding that it was normal for him to be given an official title.

For a moment, except for Lao Wu who chattered and sighed, no one present reacted much.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, gradually approaching a downpour. There was a brief calm in the room, with only the empty sound of the night rain hitting Kyoto.

The second brother is still in the carriage.

The carriage stopped beside Suyun Bridge. The dark river water flowed under the bridge. The heavy rain forced him to enter the carriage, and the small lamp hanging in front of the carriage was also pulled in, trembling and still maintaining a little light.

There were still three people in the carriage. Li Huoyue was not there, and he was replaced by a man with Mu Li.

"You were almost exposed today. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have confessed everything, right?" Jiang Yunshu questioned the second brother unhappily.

The person who led Mu Li also turned his head to the second brother, as if waiting for an explanation.

The second brother was still immersed in the atmosphere created by Li Huoyue just now. He didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Yunshu's words at all. He murmured: "She actually got off the carriage without saying goodbye to me. It seems that she is really angry..."

The person who brought Mu Li didn't care whether there was a conflict between Lao Er and Li Huoyue. His purpose was only to ensure that the plan assigned by the higher-ups could proceed smoothly.

"Did you tell her what I asked you to hint at?" asked the person who led Mu Li.

The second brother chuckled, which was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain.

His eyebrows were curved, and he looked easy to talk to. He spoke slowly but steadily and forcefully: "It's time to settle the remaining reward. There's no reason to get an answer from me for no reason."

The person who led Mu Li snorted in dissatisfaction, thinking that the two siblings were really annoying. They didn't even join the alliance, but they had to invest resources in them every day.

"As expected of a businessman, he is really good at calculating." The man who led Mu Li snorted coldly.

The second brother didn't mind at all, and even nodded proudly, saying, "Yes, after all, the Li family has a large family waiting for me to support them. If I don't plan for a good life, how can the Li family survive?"

Ever since Dai Muli's people actually came into contact with Li Huoyue, their prejudice against the people in the Li Mansion has deepened.

I really don't want to get involved with the second child too much, so I took out an envelope from my pocket and handed it to the second child, "This is for the next few days."

The second child took the envelope, but did not put it directly into his arms. Instead, he opened it and took a look at it. After making sure that most of the contents were what he wanted, he slowly put it away.

Dai Muli's people secretly thanked themselves for listening to their leader and not just taking something to fool people.

"I have already hinted to Huo Huo as you requested." The second brother listened to the rain outside leisurely, "But I don't think it will have any effect. You may be counting on the wrong person."

"Your second brother said he wanted to go with us."

The Sixth Princess was very satisfied and repeated the Second Princess's opinion in front of Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue was not deaf and could hear the voice behind him.

"I have a question." Li Huoyue finally looked into the Sixth Princess' eyes. A pair of smiling eyes suddenly appeared in his calm eyes. "Excuse me, in what capacity do you invite us?"

The light of the lantern flickered inexplicably at this moment. This time the Sixth Princess couldn't resist it. She lowered her eyes and shifted her gaze. The smile on her face faded a little. The darker the night, the more obscure her expression became.

"You are more perceptive than before." The Sixth Princess lowered her head and played with her fingers, without giving a direct answer.

Seeing that she had insisted on not mentioning her identity as the Sixth Princess, Li Huoyue chuckled, not very respectfully, and asked, "Nostalgia Bureau?"

It's a pity that the two of them are old friends, but they don't have any friendship.

The Sixth Princess instantly understood what Li Huoyue meant. Thinking back, she did have some signs of repeating the past. She laughed and said in a casual tone without any sincerity, "It seems that I talk too much."

After that, he added, "Do you think I only brought thirteen people with me?"

Li Huoyue's breathing was stagnant for a moment, and she subconsciously counted again. She really only counted thirteen people in the dark. What did the Sixth Princess mean...

If there are really more than thirteen people, it only proves that there are people who are much more powerful than Li Huoyue lying in ambush.

"Just as you thought, I did come here to target you." The Sixth Princess said again, with a bright smile on her face.
