Volume 1: Wanghai City Chapter 53 Seeking Skin with the Tiger
The next day, Dabi continued.
When everyone in the Cao family appeared in the stands, many attentive viewers easily noticed a slight difference, Cao Chuan, the second young master of the Cao family, and Cao Ke's fiancée Red Sleeves did not appear in the lineup of the Cao family.
The red sleeves do not appear, everyone's hearts are still understandable, after all, people are still the eldest girls to be married, and it is understandable that they will show up less, but Cao Chuan's absence is completely beyond everyone's expectations, you know, today's big competition, but to carry out the competition in the lower half of the district, and Cao Chuan is also in the second half of the district.
Could it be that Cao Chuan, the second young master of the Cao family, wants to give up this big competition? Under the stands, some people who have good things have already begun to talk about it.
It didn't take long for the Liu family's team to arrive, and this kind of discussion reached its peak in an instant. Because, the people who came from the Liu family today, like the Cao family, are also missing two, Liu Wenyu, the uncle of the Liu family, and Liu Wenzhou, the second master, are all gone.
Thinking of Mr. Cao's early departure yesterday in a hurry, it made everyone think about it and discuss the things in a hurry.
Old man Liu walked at the front of the Liu family's team, and the movements of his whole body looked a little stiff, giving people an unnatural feeling, and when he looked at the old man's face, it was even more gloomy as if he could drip water.
Not only Old Man Liu, but also Liu Sanye Liu Wentian, Liu Teng, Liu Long and others who followed him, all had solemn expressions and absent-mindedness.
Looking up at Old Man Cao, who had already sat down, Old Man Liu pondered for a while, and did not go to his seat, but took two steps, came to Old Man Cao's side, and sat down.
"Old Liu, why don't you go to your own place, why did you come to me?" Old Man Cao asked Old Man Liu with a puzzled expression.
"How can I have that leisure?" Old Man Liu curled his beard and said softly: "Old Caotou, let me ask you, did something happen at home when you left the table early last night?"
Old Man Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, subconsciously glanced at Cao Ke, who was sitting on the other side of him, and asked: "What happened? What can happen to our Cao family? Old Liu, didn't you send Wentian to me to ask last night? Why do you have to ask again in person today?"
Old Man Liu glanced at Old Man Cao: "Old Cao Tou, you don't have to hide it from me, yes, I asked Wentian to go to your house yesterday and ask you if the Cao family needs the help of my Liu family, but your old Cao Tou didn't tell the truth at all! How did you tell Wentian at that time? You said that there is nothing wrong with our Cao family, and even if there is something, our Cao family will solve it by ourselves! Yes and no?"
"That's right, that's what I told Wentian at the time!" Old Man Cao had a natural expression: "It's nothing, of course I said so!"
Old Man Liu said disdainfully: "You are all vegetarians when we are the intelligence officers of the Liu family, don't you? Do you think I don't know that your second grandson Cao Chuan has disappeared? Hehe, Lao Cao, you also underestimate me!"
"Chuan'er is missing?...... Old Man Cao's heart moved: "Where did you get this information......? It's so precise!"
"That's ~!" Old Man Liu raised his eyebrows: "If our Liu family wants to know, we will definitely know, this is the strength of our intelligence officers!"
"Strength?" Old Man Cao twitched the corners of his mouth, laughed softly, and said in his heart: "Your old Liu Tou is embarrassed to praise his own intelligence ability from me, he really doesn't have the slightest self-knowledge! Your family's intelligence is powerful? Then do you know that Xiao Yu'er is now lying on the bed of my third grandson Cao Ke? Do you know who sent people to kill your sons and grandsons? Do you know why Cao Chuan disappeared last night? Do you know how Liu Wenzhou died? You don't know! None of these important things do you know! Are you embarrassed to blow it here? I really laughed off my big teeth!"
Although he was extremely happy in his heart, Old Man Cao didn't show the slightest expression on the surface, but just put on a deep expression and asked Old Man Liu: "Okay, even if my second grandson Cao Chuan is missing, what should you do with the Liu family?...... Could it be that your Liu family did this?"
"Old Cao Tou, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Old Man Liu waved his hand: "Our Liu Cao family, although we don't deal with it much in this Wanghai City, but it is not to the extent that I secretly attack and hurt my descendants, how can I deal with that kid Cao Chuan for no reason?"
Old Man Cao was happy again when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Then you are sitting next to me early in the morning, and you are asking about the affairs in our Cao Mansion, what do you want to do?"
Old Man Liu looked around, and saw that there were no idle people, so he whispered to Old Man Cao: "Old Cao, I won't tell you, last night, not only your second grandson disappeared, but even my second son Liu Wenzhou disappeared inexplicably, and he still can't see anyone alive or dead, which is really worrying!"
"Oh?" Old Man Cao's face was full of shock: "Q Zhou is also missing?"
"It's not!" Old Man Liu said helplessly: "Originally, I sent Wenzhou out last night...... went out to do something, but he never thought that he, a man in his forties, would disappear out of thin air! Right now, Wen Yu is still leading people to search for his whereabouts all over the city. ”
Old Man Cao nodded, just looked at Old Man Liu with a sad face, and didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for Old Man Liu to continue.
Sure enough, after a pause, Old Man Liu continued: "Actually, for a period of time, many people have disappeared from my Liu Mansion inexplicably, including several of my sons, several grandchildren, and even my favorite granddaughter Xiao Yu'er...... It wasn't until a few days ago that news came from Cao Hong's City Lord's Mansion that I learned that most of my sons and grandsons had been killed by a mysterious force......"
"How can there be such a thing?" Old Man Cao's mouth opened wide, looking extremely shocked.
"Isn't that what you mean!" Old Man Liu patted his thigh: "I think my Liu family Ding is prosperous, I could have a full house of children and grandchildren, and enjoy the family, but how did I expect that now it is actually a white-haired person who sends a black-haired person, and I haven't even found a single one of their bones......"
Old Man Cao's face was full of grief and indignation, and he hugged Old Man Liu's shoulder: "What kind of force is secretly doing it, and it can actually make your Liu family suffer such a loss!
Old Man Liu looked at Old Man Cao with some gratitude: "Old Cao Tou, thank you for comforting me regardless of my previous suspicions, this is really the truth in times of trouble! I didn't expect that you and I have been incompatible for a long time, and I can actually get your comfort when I am most lost......
Old Man Cao patted Old Man Liu and said affectionately: "We have known each other for decades, fighting is fighting, friendship is friendship, we can't mix it up!"
Old Man Liu nodded firmly when he heard this: "Since this is the case, then I will be blunt, my Liu family continues to disappear and die, and now, there are also direct members of your Cao family who have disappeared inexplicably, in my opinion, this must be a huge force, and they want to deal with our three major families! Our Liu family is their primary target, and your Cao family is what they have to deal with next...... In that case, why don't we Liu Cao and the two families join forces to find out this force lurking in the shadows and completely eliminate them, so that we will all be safe?"
"So you've been around for a long time. Do you want to talk to me about this?" Old Man Cao smiled: "The matter of the union between you and me, I naturally don't have the slightest problem on my side! Not only that, when necessary, I can also persuade Lao Baitou to join us, and at that time, the three major families will join forces, even if the whole sky falls, we will not be afraid!"
"Don't, Lao Cao, don't go to Lao Baitou!" Old Man Liu hurriedly raised his hand and stopped Old Man Cao: "I said Lao Cao, why don't you open your mind? Our two families were attacked, and their Bai family was the most direct beneficiary, that is to say, this mysterious force hidden in the shadows and dealing with us was very likely to be his Bai family. Therefore, we can't let the old Bai know that our two families have joined forces until we have conclusive evidence to prove that the Bai family has nothing to do with this matter!"
Old Man Cao listened to Old Man Liu's judgment like this, and his heart was simply overjoyed, and he frowned on the surface, and asked tentatively: "Old Baitou plots against us, can't you?"
"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable!" Old Man Liu said hatefully: "Whether it is his Bai family or not, we can't take it lightly in the slightest." ”
"Well, I'll listen to you. Old Man Cao nodded.
"Since that's the case, this matter is so decided!" Old Man Liu smiled happily: "After the night big competition is over, I will let Wentian quietly go to your house to discuss the specific steps and plans for the union of our two families, now that there are many people, I will not stay here for long......"
As he spoke, Old Man Liu patted Old Man Cao on the shoulder, nodded gratefully at Old Man Cao, got up and left, and returned to his seat.
When Old Man Liu walked away, Old Man Cao turned his head, looked at Cao Ke, who was already blushing, and said playfully: "This is really a creation and trickery, his old Liu Tou actually came to seek alliance with the mysterious force he hated so much?
What the two old men said, Cao Ke, who was not far away, naturally listened to it all, and now listening to what the old man Cao said, where could Cao Ke still be able to bear it, and suddenly laughed out loud, laughing and hammering the armrest of the seat hard, looking extremely excited!
Fortunately, now that Dabi has not started, the entire Tianhai Square is full of people, so Cao Ke's actions have not attracted much attention.
"If his old Liu Tou knew that our Cao family was the mysterious force that wanted to deal with their Liu family, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood?" Cao Ke's eyes had already laughed into two cracks.
Old Man Cao snorted coldly: "This, it's completely his Liu family's own fault!"
