Chapter 11
After leaving the villa, Jiang Lai quickly returned to the van parked on the side of the road. He got into the driver's seat and started the engine and was about to leave. At this time, the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone, scanned the call number, answered the phone casually, and fed it.
"It's me."
Hearing the rough and familiar voice, Jiang Lai smiled slightly and asked, "Where are you?"
“QZ City.”
"Thirty minutes later, I saw the street outside Nanyue Group." After saying that, Jiang Lai hung up the phone and drove a van to his destination. He first came to QZ City, but he was not very familiar with the environment and did not know which landmark buildings were there. In comparison, Nanyue Group is very famous in QZ City and is easier to find.
Half an hour later, when Jiang Lai drove outside Nanyue Group, he saw a burly middle-aged man waiting by the road. After parking the car, he slowly walked towards the other party. When he got closer, the middle-aged man pretended to kneel down. Jiang Lai quickly stopped his actions and said, "There is no need for so many etiquette outside, not to mention that I am no longer a king."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "In my eyes, only you are the real king. Andrew is just a traitor who usurped the throne. Sooner or later, I will kill him and use his blood to pay tribute to the dead brothers."
"I will do this in person, you don't need to interfere." After a pause, Jiang Lai changed his mind and asked, "How is the situation in the temple?"
"Andrew has just taken office, and there are still many brothers below who are not convinced. He is busy winning people's hearts and stabilizing the situation. In addition, his actions failed a few days ago, I guess he will not be able to make trouble for you for a while."
"Okay, I'll give me some chance to breathe."
The middle-aged man asked, "Your Majesty, when will we go back?"
Jiang Lai pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Don't worry, you and me alone are not enough to pose a threat to Andrew. What's more, I have more important things to do now."
"You mean Qing Manrong?"
"Not bad! I hate her betrayal more than Andrew's usurpation. If I don't find her, I will not be in the mood to do anything else. However, she hides too deeply, and it is not easy to find her. Fortunately, I have mastered some clues, but it only takes a lot of time." Speaking of this, Jiang looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Liu Mo, you are the only surviving brother of the four kings under my command, and only you are willing to follow me."
"Your Majesty, I gave my life to you. No matter what, I will not betray you!"
"I believe you!" After the words, Jiang Lai held his head and chest up, looking at the dark night sky, a cold light suddenly burst out from his deep pupils, "Liu Mo, do you know why the kings of the Temple have only been kings abroad, but never dared to be emperors in China?"
Liu Mo shook his head.
"I was born abroad, and my parents were both Chinese and rarely returned to China. But when I was young, my grandfather often told me that China is a mysterious ancient country in the East and has incredible power. In this country, there were many powerful people, so the temple never dared to get involved. At that time, my mentor, the presiding king of the Temple, sent a large number of temple elites to China in order to expand his power, but he suffered heavy losses. Even he was seriously injured and could not live for a few more years. Before he died, he told me that a real strong man should not be satisfied with the status quo and should strive to seek higher breakthroughs. If he had the opportunity, he hoped that I would go to China for a trial. Only here can I deeply understand what it means to have someone outside of people and there is heaven beyond the sky."
"Your Majesty, then you..."
Jiang Lai made a gesture, interrupted Liu Mo's words, and continued to say, "Since we are here in China, you might as well see the real strong people and broaden our horizons. In addition, we know the power of the temple. Once Andrew has integrated the temple, it will be a piece of iron barrel and will be difficult to break. Therefore, we must re-establish our own power. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to compete with Andrew."
"I understand!" Liu Mo nodded and said, "Your Majesty even though you give me instructions, I will definitely support you with all my strength."
"You can find a place in QZ City first. I will contact you if you have any questions. In addition, you can help me settle the people in the van, and wait until he loses his value, then find a place to deal with him."
"Yes." Liu Mo responded, walked towards the van immediately, and drove away with Qi Bin in the car.
Looking at the van gradually disappearing from sight, Jiang Lai carried his hands on his back, and his handsome face showed a firmness and calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
"Temple kings in all dynasties only dared to be kings abroad, but did not dare to be emperors in China..." When he recalled this sentence, his lips raised slightly and his smile was faint. He wanted to try something that kings in all dynasties could not do, otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring to have a life without challenges?
...
It was already midnight when I returned to Ye Fuqu’s house.
Jiang Lai thought Ye Fuqu had gone to bed early, but she didn't expect that she was still sitting in the living room waiting for her, under the dim chandelier, watching TV while yawning.
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"You haven't come back, how dare I go to sleep? What if you find me and break into my bedroom again?"
Hearing these resentful words, Jiang Lai couldn't help laughing. It was said that women are animals that are prone to revenge, and it was true.
"Where is Qi Bin?"
"Don't worry, he won't come to harass you again, let alone appear in front of you."
Ye Fuqu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said, "I have prepared a midnight snack for you and the bath water is also set. In addition, your bedroom is also tidy up. Next to me, if there is nothing else, I will go and rest first. A new agency will ask me to come over and talk to you tomorrow."
Seeing the bedroom door closed and the sound of the door locking sounded inside, Jiang Lai smiled and shook his head. When he was cleaning up Qi Bin that day, he just said casually and joked. Unexpectedly, Ye Fuqu really started to serve tea, water, wash clothes and cook.
Anyway, I have to stay in QZ City for a long time, and having a free place to stay and dedicated people to serve me is better than staying in a hotel.
The next day.
When Jiang Lai woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
He walked out of the bedroom with his sleepy eyes and wearing a pair of shorts. He saw a plate on the dining table with fried eggs and toast, and a cup of soaked milk next to it. A note was pressed under the milk cup, which read, 'I won't come back at noon. Lunch is ready and put in the refrigerator. You can heat it in the microwave.'
Although the breakfast was a little cold, Jiang Lai didn't mind. It would be better to have a woman who is good at cooking to serve her.
