Chapter 175: The Family (1)
Twenty-four hours before Song Ying's safe return.
......
When the plane stopped, Elizabeth in business class took off her blindfold and rubbed her eyes.
"Did you sleep well?" Zhong Luoyue asked casually beside her.
Elizabeth yawned, "What time is it, month?"
"Nine forty p.m. Zhong Luoyue turned her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, then smiled: "The beginning of the day." β
For a creature like a vampire, the moon at 9 p.m. is like the sun that ordinary people see during the day, and that's probably what it feels like.
Elizabeth glanced out through the window next to herβthe plane landed at the airport in Beijing. It was the middle of winter in the country, and the night was dark outside.
Elizabeth suddenly said, "This is the first time I have come to this eastern country...... Mystical Realm. β
There was still some time to wait for the passage grafting, and they were still sitting in their places at this time, Zhong Luoyue asked curiously, "You also think it's mysterious?"
"It's us now. Elizabeth looked at Zhong Luoyue and smiled: "The Thirteen Clans have some rules, vaguely demarcating this country as if it is a forbidden area, and it is easy not to let the vampires in the clan step into. In recent decades, there has been news that a five-generation vampire has been in danger in this country, but has never been able to be rescued. Eventually, when members of the Inspectorate quietly recovered the vampire's legacy, they were only able to find the remnants of his clothes. His body had long since become ashes. β
Zhong Luoyue was stunned and said, "He was burned to death by the sun?"
Elizabeth shook her head and said, "The time of his death was night, and it was the full moon, when the power was at its strongest...... I have read some ancient texts, our ancestors have always called this country 'Shenzhou', saying that there are powerful magicians in Shenzhou, and there are guardians named 'True Dragon', among which 'True Dragon' has almost invincible power, calling the wind and rain, moving mountains and seas......"
"It's really ......" Zhong Luoyue suddenly had a wry smile.
I have always grown up in this country, but I don't know anything about the mysterious side of my country, but I need to know it from Elizabeth's mouth.
It's a bit of a mockery......
Zhong Luoyue suddenly said with some concern: "Elizabeth, if my country is dangerous for you, then you ......"
Elizabeth didn't care and said, "It's okay, although it is forbidden to enter here, there are actually quite a few vampires who can't help but come to this place curiously." In fact, there are not many transcendents in this country, and most of them are in a state of seclusion, as long as they do not cause any great panic here, and keep a low profile and do not cause trouble, it is difficult to attract those powerful transcendental. The vampire who was eliminated in the first place seems to have participated in a war to invade this country, right? I don't know the specifics...... Oh, it seems to be someone from the Takizawa family. β
The war of aggression decades ago, the Takizawa family ...... A few decades ago, it seemed that the only war that could be called a war of aggression was that war, right?
Zhong Luoyue was stunned in her heart, in that red time, could there actually be an extraordinary figure behind it...... If that were the case, would the state have known about the existence of the transcendent early on?
Shouldn't your grandfather have some ulterior secrets?
At this time, there was a slight vibration in the cabin, the grafting of the passage had been completed, and Zhong Luoyue was the first to get up from her seat, but at this time her phone rang.
Zhong Luoyue glanced at the call, and there was a smile on her face, just after connecting the international long-distance call, she heard a very unpleasant, reproach-like voice.
"It's me...... Don't you let people kidnap you at the airport? I'm tolerant enough, just let people find some thugs, not like you, let a team of elites come out......"
The phone was hung up all at once...... Zhong Luoyue smiled slightly, not caring.
All of a sudden, my mood really got better......
"Is there something wrong?" Elizabeth glanced at Zhong Luoyue curiously at this time.
The third lady of the Zhong family chuckled at this time: "It's nothing, it's just an old friend...... Come on, and I'll show you some of the sights of the nation's capital. β
"Good. Elizabeth looked at the airport with curiosity.
Zhong Luoyue turned around at this time and glanced at the plane that had just landed, and then sighed at this cross-border trip...... It's really an incredible journey, and I actually became a vampire.
She shook her head a little bitterly, then glanced casually at the half of Elizabeth's white hair...... And, that mysterious and powerful man.
Locchiu.
Suddenly silently reciting this name in his heart, Zhong Luoyue suddenly lost his mind...... I always feel like I've heard this name somewhere.
Where is it......
"Satsuki!"
Suddenly, a cry woke Zhong Luoyue from her deep thoughts, and she looked ahead, it was a masculine man in his thirties.
"Big brother. Zhong Luoyue nodded at the masculine man.
This arrival is the eldest son of the third generation of the Zhong family in the capital, Zhong Luoyun. At this moment, Zhong Luoyun was wearing a mink coat and a white suit, exuding a domineering taste all over his body.
Zhong Luoyun is very tall.
In fact, Zhong Luoyue is already tall among women in the East, but it only happens to be at the shoulder position of Zhong Luoyue.
"Grandpa asked me to pick you up. Zhong Luoyun quickly expressed his intention, and then glanced at Elizabeth beside Zhong Luoyue.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he wondered, "Who is this young lady?"
Zhong Luoyue immediately introduced: "Her name is Elizabeth, and I met her when I was studying in England. I was going to do some business with Elizabeth, so I simply came back with her. β
"Elizabeth......" Zhong Luoyun nodded, he could be sure that he had not heard the name.
It's just that this girlish woman, with white hair, looks very eye-catching in the arrival hall of this airport...... Zhong Luoyun suddenly smiled slightly: "Okay, since it's your friend, let's go back together." Whoever comes is a guest, and I will ask someone to clean up the guest room. β
Saying that, Zhong Luoyun walked directly in front and led the way.
At this time, Elizabeth and Zhong Luoyue were walking side by side, and she whispered, "Yue, is this your brother?"
Zhong Luoyue said: "Yes, I also have an older brother who is three years older than me. However, he is not currently in the capital...... What's wrong, my brother, what do you think?"
Elizabeth shook her head and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I don't like the gaze of your brother." β
Zhong Luoyue frowned: "Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth said indifferently: "Aggressive." β
Zhong Luoyue was stunned for a moment, and then understood...... Thinking of Zhong Luoyun's comments in the circle, she couldn't help frowning, "Elizabeth, my brother is naturally very proud, but he is not bad in nature. If there is anything you have offended, please forgive me. β
Elizabeth was expressionless and said, "In fact, since you were first embraced, you have no blood relationship with these people...... months, you have been detached from their world. If you can, I suggest you take care of these things as soon as possible. Because one day, you may feel remorse for forcing you to stay. β
"I understand...... Zhong Luoyue said goodbye.
At this time, Elizabeth suddenly walked into the bathroom next to her, which made Zhong Luoyue a little puzzled...... It seems that vampires don't have that need.
For example, she hasn't had this need for days.
But Elizabeth soon came out again, and with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she seemed to be in a pretty good mood, and looked very moving.
"Is there anything good?" Zhong Luoyue asked curiously.
Elizabeth said happily: "Yue, there will be a long time in the future, you don't have to worry about food...... The Thirteen Clans sent me a large number of purebloods, far more than Ivan had promised that day, and had already been delivered to my home in London. Wait for me to give me the address here, and I'll have the servants of the house bring it to me." β
More than the unbeatable Inquisitor promised...... Is it because of Luo Qiu's relationship?
No, it should be because the owner of the name that Luo Qiu impersonated that day has something to do with it.
Alex ...... What kind of sacredness is this, which would make the Thirteen Clans look at their face and behave like this, which is almost flattering?
and Luo Qiu, who actually replaced the name of the person casually, and looked indifferent...... Is it because of a relationship that it is dependent on and not afraid of?
Zhong Luoyue suddenly felt a little headache, her knowledge of the transcendent world was only a drop in the ocean at best, and she was really a little weak......
Suddenly, Elizabeth stopped, looked into the distance, and her expression became a little solemn.
"Is there anything going on again?" Zhong Luoyue asked again in surprise.
Elizabeth asked, "What is there in this direction?"
"This direction ......" Zhong Luoyue thought for a while, and subconsciously said: "Roughly speaking, the front is the Forbidden City, but you are referring to the west side...... Well, that's where our heads of state work, what's the problem?"
Elizabeth said: "There's a very terrifying aura there, at least ten times more terrifying than the Viscount Fernandez we met in the castle that day......"
"Compared to Luo Qiu?" Zhong Luoyue asked subconsciously.
She really didn't understand too much about the transcendent world, no matter how Elizabeth described it, she actually didn't know how terrifying Fernandis's own horror level was.
She could only use Luo Qiu as a yardstick - after all, in the labyrinth of the cellar, she had seen with her own eyes how this mysterious young man had easily eliminated Viscount Fernandez, and the city of Jinwu, where the laboratory had turned into a monster.
"Compared to Brother Luoqiu?" Elizabeth suddenly laughed at this time, "There is nothing to compare to, of course Brother Luoqiu is the most powerful!"
Looking at the shy appearance of this girlish woman at this time, Zhong Luoyue couldn't help but sigh...... This guy seems to have broken his vows and sucked human blood for the first time, and his personality has undergone some strange changes.
Zhong Luoyue shook her head, and at this time, under the urging of Zhong Luoyun, she got into the car prepared by the Zhong family.
"Let's take a detour, I will introduce my friend to the environment of the capital by the way. Zhong Luoyue suddenly gave such an order to the driver at this time.
If you take a detour of this road, you are actually trying to stay away from the place on the west side of the Forbidden City as much as possible.
......
The Zhong family has a manor in Xiangshan in the capital, which is the base camp of the Zhong family.
After Zhong Luoyue asked Elizabeth to arrange a room for Elizabeth to rest, she followed her eldest brother Zhong Luoyun to meet the old lady of the Zhong family, and by the way, she also inquired about what happened at home during this time from Zhong Luoyun's mouth.
"When did it happen?" Zhong Luoyue frowned instantly, and even stopped.
Because, on the way to meet the old lady, Zhong Luoyun told Zhong Luoyue such a thing - the old lady transferred all the shares of the entire group of the Zhong family that he privately held to Zhong Luochen, the second young master of the Zhong family!
In fact, the three brothers and sisters of the Zhong family all hold part of the shares of the entire group, but most of the shares are still firmly held in the hands of Mrs. Zhong!
But now, Mrs. Zhong suddenly saw that she had transferred the general equity to Zhong Luochen, which instantly caused Zhong Luochen to become the individual with the most equity in the entire group.
Zhong Luoyun's expression was also a little gloomy at this time, "Now the equity in the old second-hand head is compared to me and you, plus my father and mother...... That's more than the four of us combined. But in fact, because of his body, his father doesn't care, he just holds equity. And, judging by his father's character, he would not be involved in anything. So, do you know what it means to be in the second child's situation now, little sister?"
Zhong Luoyue was silent.
I don't know why, after hearing the news, although she was surprised, she was not as dissatisfied as she imagined. At this moment, she even felt that the power struggle in this kind of wealthy family was somewhat ridiculous.
Glancing at the eldest brother Zhong Luoyun, who obviously wanted to join forces from now on, Zhong Luoyue suddenly felt that it might be a good thing for the old lady to give equity to the second brother Zhong Luochen.
She knew that Zhong Luoyun was somewhat happy and ambitious...... If the big brother dominates the whole group, it may not be a good thing.
"Grandpa should have had his considerations. Zhong Luoyue was not as enthusiastic as Zhong Luoyun imagined, but said coldly: "As our descendants, shouldn't we be obedient?
"Hahaha!" Zhong Luoyun laughed at this time: "How can I have any dissatisfaction with Grandpa's decision? I'm just afraid that you will be unhappy, little sister." Now, it seems that you also support this decision, then I am relieved. The three of us are brothers and sisters, and we are one with each other, in fact, grandpa gives it to everyone the same! β
"That's for the best. Zhong Luoyue smiled slightly, "Let's go, grandpa should have been waiting for a long time." β
"You go over first, I still have some things, I'll come over later." Zhong Luoyun shook his head at this time, and then walked away directly.
After Zhong Luoyue couldn't see Zhong Luoyun's back, she walked directly into a room in the corridor and made a call with her mobile phone.
The person who answered the phone was a person who had been arranged to Zhong Luochen's side a long time ago...... A man with a lot of ambitions.
Chengyun.
"Third Miss, I knew you were almost looking for me. β
Cheng Yun, who was far away from several provinces, was very determined...... Zhong Luoyue thought that this guy might already know about the equity.
Now the second brother can be said to be the person of the Zhong family group, and it is not certain whether this guy is willing to continue to sell information to himself.
Zhong Luoyue went straight to the point and said: "Don't talk about the things that everyone knows, or the same as before, what has my second brother done recently?"
"There's really one thing. Cheng Yun hurriedly said at this time: "The second young master doesn't know what he's doing, and he's investing a huge amount of money." I accidentally saw a transfer check from the second young master, and the amount of a single transaction was as high as five billion ......"
Zhong Luoyue frowned: "The upper limit of the funds that the three of us can use every year is only one billion at most...... Where did the second brother get so much money?"
"I'm afraid it's the group's money. The member suddenly said: "It seems that the second young master called the old lady one night, and then the equity gift happened...... But I don't know what Er Shao said to the old lady. β
"I see. Zhong Luoyue nodded, and then said, "Second brother, has he done anything recently?"
"There's nothing left. Cheng Yun thought for a while and said: "I hide at home every day, but I often chat with a singer trained by his entertainment company...... Oh, this man's name is Cheng Yiran. In addition, I often attend Buddhist and Taoist lectures, and it seems that I suddenly start to like to study these things. Oh, by the way, Er Shao recently bought a website, I'll send you the address, Miss Three. β
After listening to it for a while, Zhong Luoyue turned off the phone, and then clicked on the website address sent by Cheng Yun.
A huge icon suddenly appeared on the homepage of the website.
Black background, golden imprint, when she saw this LOGO, Zhong Luoyue frowned suddenly-because, the LOGO pattern of this website is exactly the same as the black card she quietly replaced......
