Chapter 158
After the wedding, the two of them were very happy.
After coming out of Lingbao Pavilion, Lu Ren went straight to the Demon Suppression Department.
After some inquiries, he came to the Liu family's mansion.
Liu Yonghuan, who had invited him before, was now guarding the door, waiting for his arrival.
"Mr. Lu, you are here after all."
Lu Ren walked forward slowly, smiling: "I still have to give face to the head of the Liu family."
"Haha, Mr. Lu is really straightforward, please come in quickly, the head of the family is waiting for you inside."
Liu Yonghuan walked in front with a hunched body to lead the way for Lu Ren.
After a while, Lu Ren came to a quiet and secluded courtyard.
There was a table in the courtyard, with sumptuous dishes and fine wine on it.
In the whole courtyard, there was only a middle-aged man with a refined and kind face sitting at the table.
There was no doubt that this person was Liu Shaokang, the head of the Liu family.
"Mr. Lu, just go over there. I won't disturb your conversation with the head of the family."
Liu Yonghuan turned and left the courtyard.
Lu Ren looked at Liu Shaokang from a distance.
The latter immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "I have heard of Mr. Lu's name for a long time. Today, I see that he is really..."
Lu Ren raised his hand to signal him to stop: "Head of the Liu family, there is no need to say polite words, let's get down to business."
The smile on Liu Shaokang's face froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and he greeted with a smile: "Mr. Lu, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Lu Ren was silent for a moment and sat opposite him.
Liu Shaokang poured him a glass of wine, and seeing that Lu Ren didn't drink it, he poured himself another glass, and then drank it in front of Lu Ren.
"It's not poisonous, Mr. Lu, don't worry."
Lu Ren remained unmoved: "I came here to give you face. If you continue to play dumb, you are not giving me face."
Liu Shaokang's face froze, and he gently put down the wine glass: "Mr. Lu, since you are so direct, I won't keep you in suspense."
He crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, looking at Lu Ren, and continued: "You are now in a high position in the Demon Suppression Division. You can help our Liu family in many places in the future. This wine is actually just to make friends with you. There is no other purpose."
Lu Ren asked back: "Why should I help you?"
"The Lin family is married to the Governor's Mansion. In the future, they will definitely dominate Huashui County and may even swallow up the other three families. I don't want to see such a situation."
"You want to use the Demon Suppression Division as a backer to compete with the Lin family?"
"I just want Mr. Lu to give you an attitude. You don't need to come forward in person for the rest of the things. It will not have a negative impact on your future and reputation, Mr. Lu. "." "You can find me, it means that you have a certain understanding of me. Do you do n’t know if I am very close to my sister Lin?" Liu Shaokang laughed: "Interpersonal relationship is a very complicated thing, how can there be eternal friends or enemies in the world? "" The person who was forced to marry someone else is not enough? "" Joke, I have never had any thoughtful people, this is what you imagined. " It is shameless and chills to want to come to Lu Gongzi who can't see the act of the Lin family? "" I can not see the Lin family, but this is not the reason I need to stand on your side. Liu Shaokang obviously came prepared, so he must show his cards.
Liu Shaokang frowned slightly, and his face looked a little ugly.
"Mr. Lu, we are now discussing cooperation in a friendly manner. If you insist on saying it so firmly, then we have nothing to talk about."
Lu Ren sneered: "You want to blackmail me, do you have the qualifications?"
"Young people should not be too blindly confident."
"Then tell me, what chips do you have in your hand?"
Liu Shaokang looked at him with a smile: "I know a secret, a secret that can make you die without a burial place."
Hearing this, Lu Ren had already guessed something, but he still looked calm.
"I thought you had some ability and hoped to use this to blackmail me. I can only say that you are too smart."
"Mr. Lu, don't pretend to be calm. I know you must be panicking now."
Lu Ren: "............."
I don't know who is blindly confident.
He simply said: "Zhao Jiamu's death has nothing to do with me. He read out the confession himself, and the people were excited and beat him to death in the chaos. The Zhao family can't hold me responsible for this."
"Mr. Lu, don't forget that Zhao Jiamu is the beloved grandson of the old man of the Zhao family, and his death is directly related to you.
As far as I know, although the old man is highly respected, he was famous for his revenge in his early years. As long as he knows that you forced Zhao Jiamu to write the confession, do you think... will he kill you?"
Lu Ren took a deep breath.
The Zhao family in Tianchenzhou is very powerful, and there are many strong people in the Condensation Realm or even higher realms.
If he is really targeted by the old man of the Zhao family, it will be really tricky.
Seeing Lu Ren fall into deep thought, Liu Shaokang laughed triumphantly.
"Mr. Lu, can you now think about our cooperation?"
Lu Ren slowly raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently: "If I kill you now, won't there be so much trouble?"
Liu Shaokang smiled even more, not afraid of Lu Ren's threat at all: "Mr. Lu, you underestimate me too much. You are in the perfect state of Kaimai Realm, and I am naturally not your opponent.
But once I die, the truth about Zhao Jiamu's death will spread throughout the county within a day, and it will reach the ears of the old man of the Zhao family after three days."
"Then I will kill all of you Liu family." Lu Ren's mouth showed a creepy sneer.
Liu Shaokang's face changed drastically: "Do you dare?"
"Why shouldn't I dare?"
"Kill my entire family, the Demon Suppression Division and the government office will not let you go."
"You threaten my life and death, do you think I still care about these?" Lu Ren's every word and every sentence carried a chilling murderous intent.
Liu Shaokang's legs, hidden under the tablecloth, trembled uncontrollably, his lips turned pale, and his eyes were devoured by endless fear and anxiety.
He had no doubt about the truth of Lu Ren's words.
A young man of only 20 years old could reach the level of a six-star lieutenant in such a short time. It was not just talent that was needed, but also deep scheming and ruthless methods.
Liu Shaokang threatened with the death of Zhao Jiamu, and Lu Ren was also threatening him with the lives of hundreds of people in the Liu family.
Lu Ren shook his head disdainfully and stood up, patted Liu Shaokang on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear:
"I've made a note of what happened today. If the old man of the Zhao family comes to seek revenge one day, I will always believe that you leaked the news. Before I am hunted down, I will definitely kill all of you Liu family members."
Liu Shaokang's eyes were numb and scattered at this moment, as if he had aged 20 years in an instant.
Ridiculous, he thought that he could win over Lu Ren to work for him with the evidence in his hand.
Who would have thought that he would be threatened by Lu Ren in return.
And his so-called evidence has now become a powder keg that could lead the Liu family to destruction at any time.
For the lives of his entire family, he could not only not report Lu Ren, but also had to do his best to ensure that others would not spread the news.........
"Master Liu, thank you for your hospitality. I will come to your house for a drink next time when I am free."
Lu Ren waved goodbye with his back to Liu Shaokang, with a careless smile on his face from beginning to end.
In fact, Zhao Jiamu's affairs could not be hidden for too long, and the Zhao family would sooner or later find out about him.
However, after what happened tonight, Liu Shaokang would definitely try every means to suppress the news and obstruct or mislead the Zhao family's investigation in order to save his life.
With Liu Shaokang buying time for him, it would only take three months for the Zhao family to no longer pose a threat to him.
