Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 639 Current Situation and Heading North
In order to let Lu Huan feel at ease and secure his position as the head of the Lu family, Wang Bing had to stay in the Lu family for a few more days. When he returned to the Wang family, a month had passed.
"Hey, old man! Long time no see!"
When Wang Bing returned to the Wang family, he came to see the old man first. When he entered the house, he saw Wang Ai reading a newspaper.
"I'm back. I heard from Xiaoying that you did a lot of things in the Lu family!"
Wang Ai put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses, looked at Wang Bing and said, "What about the Lu family?"
“Almost there!”
Wang Bing nodded, refilled the old man's teacup with tea, poured himself a cup and said, "Lü Huan is already the acting head of the Lu family, and the engagement between the two of us has not been cancelled, which means that the nature of our marriage may change. "
"That's true..."
Wang Ai picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "One is the head of the Wang family, and the other is the head of the Lu family. Hehe... It's rare for a head of a family to marry another head of a family. Have you thought about how to annex the Lu family?"
"Take your time. This can't be changed overnight. This is the Lu family!"
Wang Bing smiled bitterly and shook his head and continued to ask: "What's the situation in the circle recently?"
"It's not peaceful in the circle~"
Wang Ai deliberately prolonged his tone and said, "There are constant conflicts and contradictions, and the company no longer cares about it. According to Zhao Fangxu, as long as it does not interfere with ordinary people, large-scale conflicts within a certain range are acceptable..."
"A large-scale conflict within a certain range?"
Wang Bing thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "In other words, the number of aliens in the circle has exceeded the population red line?"
“That’s understandable.”
It is somewhat understandable why the company does this, as population growth is an unavoidable problem.
Since the founding of the country, the country's population has more than tripled from the original 400 million in less than a hundred years, and the number of aliens has also increased accordingly.
Although the number of extraordinary people in the major sects and families has dropped sharply due to wars and civil unrest, if you look closely, the number of extraordinary people has doubled in the past few decades.
Take the Lu family as an example.
Speaking of Lu Ci's branch alone, there were four people in the second generation of the Lu family. These four children got married and had children. Let's not say that they quadrupled the number like the previous generation, but if each of them gave birth to three children, there would be 13 extraordinary people. By the fourth generation, if each of them gave birth to two children, there would be 41 extraordinary people in this family of four generations.
Therefore, it is understandable that the company would have such an idea.
"Then old man, what should we do next..."
Before Wang Bing could finish his words, Wang Ai interrupted him and said, "Whoever is the head of the Wang family wants to go to such a thing. I am no longer the head of the Wang family!"
"No, you're going a bit too far."
Wang Bing complained helplessly: "It's fine if you deceive outsiders, but it's a bit unreasonable for your own descendants to use such an excuse."
"Am I wrong, old man?"
Wang Ai asked back, "Wasn't it your strategy to subdue the Lu family and unite with the Lu clan to deal with the other families? Have I ever opposed your decision?"
have to!
Wang Bing could see that the old man was resentful and was feeling a little unhappy because he had killed Lu Ci.
Of course, this does not mean that Wang Ai is blaming Wang Bing. Compared with Wang Bing and Lu Ci, Wang Ai is definitely on Wang Bing's side, but Lu Ci is really one of the few old partners of Wang Ai.
At Wang Ai's age, it is hard for him not to reminisce about the glorious days of the past. Watching his old friends passing away one by one, it is hard for anyone to feel good about this.
Old people can be coaxed, so Wang Bing shamelessly began to coax Wang Ai, "Grandpa, things have come to this point, it's a bit boring to dig up the past, so please give me some advice, what do you think of the current situation?"
"If I were to say, the struggle for power won't stop anytime soon!"
Wang Ai said calmly: "The cake is only this big. Since there is no way to make the cake bigger, the only thing we can do is to reduce the number of people sharing the cake. In my opinion, unless the number of strange people in the circle drops to a certain level, there is no way to stop."
"What about Baobao Feng?"
"You mean immortality, right?"
Wang Ai thought for a moment and said, "There will still be competition, but everyone is not stupid and knows that this thing is a hot potato. I remember you used this Feng Baobao to make a deal with Zhang Chulan before, didn't you?"
"Well, use it to deal with Qu Tong!"
Wang Bing nodded and said, "I think Zhang Chulan has great luck. If he can deal with Qu Tong, he can greatly restrain her..."
"But have you ever thought that Qu Tong can also use Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan to make a deal?" Wang Ai reminded.
"this……"
Hearing the old man say this, Wang Bing's expression paused, as if he had suddenly realized something, and said, "I understand!"
"Let's go to the capital and bring back the things that belong to our four families. By the way, go and see how old Lu is doing recently. Hasn't he been thinking about getting information about Wu Gensheng from Feng Baobao?" Wang Ai waved his hand.
“Yeah, I understand!”
Wang Bing stood up and walked out the door. He seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. Please don't be angry when you hear it, Master."
"What's up?"
"I killed Zhuge Qing!"
! ! ? !
…
In the capital, in the Lu family villa.
"Master, are you still not going back?"
Lu Linglong looked at Lu Jin, who looked unhappy, and said, "My cousin and I can just watch over here. You should go home and have a rest."
"What's wrong with you, girl? Do you think your grandfather is too old?"
Lu Jin looked at Lu Lin and Lu Linglong in front of him angrily and said, "Really, you guys, I've told you so many times, this is the inner demon of an old man like me, I have to overcome it by myself!"
"Hey, Grandpa, I said it too!"
Lu Linglong said with a smile: "I am a member of the Lu family, and my cousin is the heir of your Trinity Sect, so we also have a part in this matter."
"you!"
Looking at the two stubborn little brats in front of him, Lu Jin didn't know whether to beat them or scold them. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Grandpa, Bilian... No, it's what Chu Lan told you."
After seeing Lu Jin's expression ease a little, Lu Linglong also asked in a low voice: "What do you think we should do..."
"What Chu Lan? Why are you calling me so affectionately?"
When Lu Jin heard Zhang Chulan, his face suddenly changed and he said, "Didn't you guys make an agreement with that evildoer from the Wang family before? After we get the news about Wu Gensheng from Feng Baobao, we will hand him over to the Wang and Lu families for safekeeping."
"But I'm worried..."
Before Lu Linglong could finish her words, a member of the Lu family knocked on the door and walked in. Looking at the three people inside, he said respectfully, "Master, the Wang family just called and said they want to visit you tomorrow..."
