System in a book: The top female character is completely destroyed
Chapter 147 Zhou Family
The living room fell into silence.
Luo Ze looked at Bai Yucheng's calm face and became more and more confused about this person.
"What do you mean by signal?" Luo Ze was puzzled.
Bai Yucheng put the tablet aside and took out an opened pack of cigarettes from the drawer of the coffee table.
"No, you're still addicted to smoking." Luo Ze sneered: "I thought you had quit."
Bai Yucheng lit the cigarette on his own, then held it between his fingertips and let it burn freely.
As the smoke spread, my thoughts were drawn back to the day of the engagement party.
The shooter was in a somewhat concealed position.
The pistol's range was not far, so it was most likely one of the guests at the wedding banquet.
But the angle at which that person stood seemed to have been carefully calculated, as if he knew where he would stand on the day of the engagement party.
If Su Li had not suddenly rushed out to block the bullet.
That bullet wouldn't have killed him.
It might hit the background board five centimeters away from his left arm.
After Bai Yucheng's few words, Luo Ze also fell into memories.
His booth at that time was on the second floor, where he could see the current situation of the entire venue most clearly.
He also knew that Su Li's wound was on her shoulder.
Looking down from his God's perspective, Su Li and Bai Yucheng's positions were not aligned, and the two stood in parallel lines at a short distance.
In other words, it seems that one of them is blocking the bullet to prevent the other from being shot.
In fact, at the scene, as long as no one moves, no one will be injured.
To put it bluntly, Su Li became the victim of this incident...
But, think about it this way.
Luo Ze was a little surprised.
The other party did it so deliberately, and knew exactly where Bai Yucheng would be standing on that day. He must have staked out the place before the wedding banquet started, or even several days in advance, and knew the situation thoroughly.
Luo Ze asked, "Then who do you think it is?"
"Among the guests present, don't you feel that someone is missing?"
Luo Ze heard this and asked in confusion, "This time, as the strongest business marriage between you and the Pei family, it will inevitably attract all the forces in Baicheng to gather here. Firstly, it achieves Pei Jia's goal of letting everyone in Baicheng know who will be the boss of such a huge city in the future. Secondly, it warns everyone that except for the Pei family, no one else can touch the huge cake of Baicheng."
As Luo Ze was standing on the second floor with a God's perspective, he naturally knew the situation of the various families present at the time. In addition, there was a sudden shooting, and then the entire venue was blocked, and the guests who came to the engagement party were checked one by one.
……
Zhou family.
Bai Yucheng saw Luo Ze's expression and curled his lips. "Five years ago, the Zhou family dominated Baicheng, firmly ranking first on the list of Baicheng's aristocratic families. However, within a year, they fell out of the top three. With the Zhou family's foundation, it was natural for them to remain in the top five in Baicheng. But after a few months, there was no news at all."
Luo Ze suddenly realized: "In just a few months, they were at the bottom of the list! You're right. Back then, the Zhou family's power was no less than the Pei family's, even far superior. Plus, the Pei family was originally the Mocheng Pei family, changing their name. And in those years, the Pei family hadn't yet firmly established themselves in Baicheng. Any bold move could have severely damaged their vitality, or even completely disappeared. But in just this one year, the Pei family rose to first place, while the Zhou family not only fell out of the top five, but even nearly fell off the list..."
"Is it the Pei family's doing?" Luo Ze asked doubtfully.
Bai Yucheng lit the cigarette in his hand and chuckled without saying a word.
Luo Ze licked his lips, which were dry after speaking. "Some rumors said that the Zhou family's downfall was partly due to a woman?"
Bai Yucheng stared at Luo Ze's slightly nervous expression with a half-smile.
Luo Ze was so frightened by his eyes that he stuttered: "Really...?"
Bai Yucheng put out the cigarette in a tissue, then wrapped it tightly and threw it into the trash can beside him. He tapped the armrest of the sofa and said, "The grudge between the Zhou and Pei families has nothing to do with us. It's just that the Zhou family intends to get closer to me this time, so there must be something wrong."
Luo Ze nodded: "The Pei family has always been domineering in Baicheng. If you hadn't appeared three years ago and destroyed most of the Pei family's morale, I dare not imagine how unreasonable the Pei family would be now."
Bai Yucheng pursed his lips and pondered for a moment: "Master Pei went to great lengths to discover Su Li's existence. What do you think is the main reason?"
Luo Ze snorted coldly: "Are you questioning my thinking? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if you want to control you, you must grasp your most fatal weakness. Once you are in our hands, the Pei family can use this to bully others."
Today, Bai Yucheng is the only one that dominates Baicheng. If it weren't for the appearance of Bai Yucheng, Baicheng might have already fallen into the clutches of the Pei family, or even into an even more unimaginable abyss.
The head of the Pei family, Pei Jia, used Su Li to threaten Bai Yucheng to marry his daughter. The first thing that came to mind was that he wanted to use Bai Yucheng's power to bully others. Secondly, Luo Ze didn't dare to think about it any further.
Bai Yucheng continued calmly, "Since Patriarch Pei has come up with this idea, it's definitely not just a simple plan to bully others."
Pei Jia wanted to slowly take Yu Xing for himself, and this key step naturally required him to get involved with Bai Yucheng.
Otherwise, judging from his current power, he would be unable to do anything to Yu Xing.
Luo Ze sighed.
The Pei family is worthy of being the second generation of the Pei family in Mocheng. They are extremely ambitious and no matter how they change their appearance, their hearts remain the same.
Luo Ze thought about it and agreed. "After all, three years ago, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't have been so vulnerable that they would have been in danger if they hadn't even tried to stand up to you. Moreover, if you hadn't appeared, Baicheng would have been theirs. Pei Jia is so eager to get close to you because he wants to take back everything that should have been his." Luo Ze leaned back on the sofa and nodded. "Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that the Zhou family wants to cooperate with you. The Zhou family's approach is very clever. Since the Pei family can wipe them out without leaving any chance of survival, then if the Zhou family wants revenge one day, the Pei family will most likely be able to detect it immediately and strangle them."
"Even if the Pei family is weak, it still ranks second on the list of aristocratic families. If we want to completely eradicate this cancer of the Pei family, we will definitely be discovered by the Pei family if we look for other aristocratic families. Therefore, this path is impossible. Therefore, our only chance is to seek cooperation with you."
But this road is a bit dangerous.
The Zhou family had no idea what Bai Yucheng was thinking.
Bai Yucheng's eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "So, the Zhou family is gambling."
Businessmen have always been like this.
If you grasp something, you won’t easily leave the opportunity to others.
And there's nothing I'm sure of.
You can only use your gambling heart and gamble big.
If they win the bet, they make money.
If you lose the bet, it’s over.
There was some admiration in Bai Yucheng's eyes.
He rubbed his fingers and chuckled, "So, they won the bet."
