Chapter 79: So What?
“There is such a thing!”
After listening to Lord Wang's narration, Xiao Daoyun's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled: "What do you think, Lord Wang?"
Lord Wang looked at Xiao Daoyun and smiled, "Of course I believe in Mr. Xiao, but the city lord election is imminent, and things like this have happened, so you have to be careful and don't be influenced by people with ulterior motives!"
Xiao Daoyun nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Lord Wang. I will be careful!"
"Well, then I won't disturb Mr. Xiao's rest!" Lord Wang waved his hand, stood up from the chair, and bowed to Xiao Daoyun in farewell.
After getting on the carriage, Lord Wang's face changed from naive to gloomy. Through the gap in the curtain, he glanced at the brightly lit Xiao Mansion, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "I wonder how long this splendor can last!"
"Go back home!"
"Click, click." With the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, the carriage slowly left the Xiao Mansion.
…
Shen Lang and Qingsi appeared in the city lord's room on time. The city lord leaned against the head of the bed and said, "I have done what you asked me to do!"
"Thank you, City Lord!" Shen Lang bowed and sat on the chair next to him: "Does the City Lord intend to return to normal during the election?"
The city lord groaned for a moment and said, "Well, I'll take care of everything when the time comes!"
Shen Lang nodded, drank a cup of tea, and asked, "There will be no shortage of fighting at that time!"
The city lord smiled and said, "It's not the first time."
Hearing the city lord say this, Shen Lang felt relieved. He put down the teacup, stood up and bowed: "It's getting late. I'll go back first."
"See Shen Lang off!" The city lord waved his hand, Qingsi nodded and followed Shen Lang out of the room.
"Husband, be careful!" When they reached the door, Qingsi helped Shen Lang tidy up his robe and said with concern.
"Don't worry, I haven't proposed to you yet, don't worry!" Shen Lang said with a smile, and then whispered in Qingsi's ear: "Besides, our agreement has not been carried out yet, how can I bear to let it go!"
"You've been doing nothing all day!" When Qingsi heard this, her ears felt numb. She hit Shen Lang and said angrily.
"Haha, I'm going back!" Shen Lang smiled, waved goodbye to Qingsi, got on the carriage and went back.
"The person in the car is Master Shen Lang!"
The carriage had just gone two streets when it stopped and a somewhat rough voice was heard from inside the carriage .
"Who are you?" asked the coachman.
"I am Lord Sun Ke's bodyguard, Chu Yun!" The rough voice sounded again.
"Master, it's Lord Sun Ke's guard!" the groom reported.
"Um!"
Shen Lang lifted the door curtain and saw a tall and mighty man standing next to the carriage. He was wearing armor, holding a weapon, had a rough face and bright eyes.
"Is there anything wrong?" Shen Lang looked at Chu Yun and spoke.
"Lord Sun invites Master Shen to his house for a chat!" Chu Yun said with a bow.
Shen Lang was a little surprised. What did he want to see him for?
After a moment of silence, Shen Lang said, "Lead the way!"
"Yes!" Chu Yun bowed and led the way.
After less than half an hour, the carriage slowly stopped. Chu Yun bowed and said, "Master Shen, we're here!"
"good!"
Shen Lang agreed, opened the door curtain and got out of the car. Then Chu Yun took Shen Lang into Sun Ke's house, walked through a corridor, and came to the main hall. Sun Ke was sitting on a chair at this time. When he saw Shen Lang coming, he stood up from the chair and greeted him: "My dear nephew!"
"Uncle Sun!" Shen Lang bowed and saluted: "I don't know, what do you want me to do?"
"My dear nephew, you are really quick to speak. I will stop beating around the bush with you. Please take a seat!"
Sun Ke smiled, made a gesture to invite Shen Lang to sit down, and then asked the maid to pour a pot of good tea.
After the maid left, only Sun Ke and Shen Lang were left in the hall. Sun Ke then spoke up: "My nephew must have done what happened today."
Shen Lang was stunned, a little confused: "I did what happened today? I don't quite understand what Uncle Sun means."
Sun Ke smiled and continued, "Everyone has a love for beauty. Fair competition, based on one's ability, is human nature!"
Then, he changed the subject and said calmly: "If you use kidnapping, it's a bit too much!"
Shen Lang smiled when he heard what Sun Ke said: "Uncle Sun, you are too kind. Although I am not an upright person, I still disdain such tricks!"
Sun Ke didn't get angry when he heard Shen Lang's denial. He continued to smile and said, "Many people saw Miao Yi being brought back to the Shen Mansion by you. If we conduct a search, the impact will not be good!"
As he said that, he poured a cup of tea for Shen Lang: "Why not let him out and stop him from bothering Mingyue!"
Shen Lang smiled when he heard this: "Uncle Sun's words are very scary!"
"But I really didn't do that!" Shrugging his shoulders, Shen Lang continued: "If Uncle Sun wants to forcibly search the Shen family, it's not impossible, but as Uncle said, the impact it brings is really not very good, and there may even be very serious consequences!"
After hearing this, Sun Ke looked at Shen Lang's smiling face, and the smile on his face gradually faded: "Why do you do this?"
"What good can there be in helping a dying person?" Sun Ke continued, "If my dear nephew is willing, wealth and glory will come with a wave of the hand, and it will be ten times more glorious than it is now!"
"Shen Lang is getting more and more confused by Uncle Sun's words!" Shen Lang continued, "I am just an ordinary boy who wants to enjoy an ordinary life. It's enough for me to live my own life well. As for other things, I am too lazy to participate!"
Sun Ke sneered at Shen Lang's words!
If you are too lazy to participate , then what are you doing with all those things?
Is it entertaining?
Still have fun!
Isn't this just playing Tai Chi with yourself and talking nonsense to yourself?
"In that case, why don't you do me a favor and release Miao Yi? You can set any conditions you want, as long as he is safe!" Sun Ke didn't play Tai Chi with Shen Lang and directly stated the purpose of inviting Shen Lang this time.
He originally didn't want to get involved in such matters, but Miao Yunfei was his ally, and after discovering something was wrong, he came to him to discuss countermeasures.
In desperation, Sun Ke could only be the first to speak out. After all, the power and influence in his hands were much more useful than that of a richest man.
"Uncle Sun, I really didn't kidnap Miao Yi. He has nothing to do with me!" Shen Lang continued.
"Shen Lang, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" At this time, an angry shout came from behind the screen, and then Miao Yunfei's figure appeared in the hall.
Shen Lang was not surprised at all about Miao Yunfei's appearance. If Miao Yunfei had not appeared tonight, Shen Lang would have been surprised. He hugged his shoulders and turned his face slightly.
"So what?"
