Chapter 31 (1/2)
It ca of thehad known his identity Now that Zhuang Huayang directly called out his grandfather’s name, he almost had a definite answer in his heart
His heart was beating violently, while his expression remained exactly the same as before, like a rock, hard and cold
“I’d like to know the details”
He raised his head and looked at Zhuang Huayang in the eyes
Zhuang Huayang squinted subconsciously and stared at Li Tianlan carefully for a while He then suddenly said, “Tianlan, do you know that your behavior now, though appreciated, is hard for people to like”
“You are too quiet So quiet that no one can figure you out If you already have built a base for yourself, such kind of behavior can be considered as a good thing But now, you are only a young uy like me would find you deep and even unpredictable This is too y At least you should let others understand your thought, even if what they see is not what you really want to express”
The corner of Li Tianlan’son the bed, he bent his body forward slightly and said without changing his voice and expression, “Thank you for your advice, Mr Principal”
Zhuang Huayang couldn’t tell whether Li Tianlan had truly listened or not This young man, he believed, was really out of his control He shook his head, pulled over a chair and sat beside the bed, and then fished out a cigarette, “Do you care for one?”
Li Tianlan nodded, and lighted the cigarette with the lighter he received He kne to smoke However, when he was in the border, the tobacco was so cheap that he seldo for tobacco
“Is this counted as a luxury in your place?”
Zhuang Huayang waved the cigarette in his hand and asked sly But he noticed that Li Tianlan, as if he had heard nothing, didn’t change his expression at all and just shed in self- if Li Tianlan was listening or not “The Li fahe, was not called Li fa fa to a Martial Arts influence with a long inheritance, nao, Xuanyuantai was at its o, down to the generation of Li Kuangtu, there were nine Invincible Realm experts from the Xuanyuantai in succession, without any break This kind of glory was only co faenerations of Xuanyuantai were controlled by the Li family Therefore, the Li fazhou State”
“Simply put, in the recent several hundred years, every Invincible Realm expert from the Xuanyuantai of Kunlun becazhou State Their status was like that of the current Kunlun City, but with a e What do you think about it? Isn’t it awesoer calm this time Theof the cigarette
“Twenty years ago, the Southeast Group, co-founded by the wang family of Beihai and Xuanyuantai of Kunlun, was influential enough to blot out the sky and cover the sun…”
“Southeast Group?”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows in surprise, “What is that?”
“You can take it as a faction co Huayang explained patiently, “This includes all the forces from politics, economy, military system, Special Warfare System, academic sector, public opinion and other fields In short, the Southeast Group was a super faction made up of all the rich and powerful fazhou State”
“Wuyue Province, Jiangzhe Province, Minnan Province, Jianghuai Province, Dongshan Province, Jiangnan Province, Beihai Province and some powerful apartments in the capital state Youzhou are all within the Southeast Group’s sphere of influence”
Zhuang Huayang took a long drag on his cigarette, his e the place we are in right now Five years ago, the entire Huating also fell into the backyard garden of Southeast Group,” he said
Li Tianlan couldn’t say a word for a long while At the sound of this, even a person like hith of this faction was totally beyond his iination But as soon as he heard the names of the seven Provinces, he could understand how zhou State with just a single fell swoop
However, with the decline of Xuanyuantai of Kunlun or the Li fa family of Beihai had complete control over the faction now
For the first tilorious as to be co family of Beihai But when he heard this at this moment, he didn’t feel honored Instead, he only felt bitterness
“Very powerful”
Li Tianlan uttered these words, his voice extremely dry and coarse
“Not only very powerful! Twenty years ago, the Southeast Group was in power If not for that case of treason, the Southeast Group should be even more fearsome today How could there be any place for others to survive?”
Zhuang Huayang said this indifferently while s at Li Tianlan as lost in his mind, he suddenly asked, “What do you think about your father’s treasonous act?”
This questionLi Tianlan’s identity on the table No supposition, no condition, and no story Or rather, Zhuang Huayang’s question immediately involved Li Tianlan into this story
“You’ve already said he is ht about it? Should I be like all the others and believe that he betrayed his country?”
Li Tianlan showed no expression of astonish with cold eyes
Zhuang Huayang gave out a faint smile and said in an easy way, “I understand that you have resentment But don’t take it on me In fact,on the investigation of that case of treason Were it not for our insistence, the case would have long been settled and closed once and for all”
Li Tianlan had no clue about the rank of Zhuang Huayang’s old boss However, undoubtedly, this should be the subject for today’s conversation
Li Tianlan glanced over Zhuang Huayang thoughtfully, squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Then should I ask about the background of Mr President, or which group you come fro Huayang didn’t give a direct answer, but looked at Li Tianlan and sht”
“Perhaps it’s hard for you to understand how o Let’s have a look at the situation of Zhongzhou State Whichever group is in power, it will beco period It’s almost twenty years since the Southeast Group was in power last tizhou State Even though it has left the highest position, and even though it has been affected by the case of treason, the Southeast Group is not completely defeated Froifts and bold strategy fro fa explained slowly, “Generally speaking, the power of the Southeast Group has been reduced in recent years But at present, it has totally held its ground”
“Ten years ago, the big boss of the Southeast Group retired and the Zhongzhou State was controlled by the Prince Group ever Judging fro faht of power and splendors, the Prince Group, even though it ca only a puppet Luckily, at that time, Xuanyuantai had become the past Several years later, the turbulence caused by the case of treason caan to rise in Zhongzhou State After coreat relationshi+p with the Kunlun City Even to this day, the Prince Group has steadied its advantages and become a colossus which could stand side by side with the Southeast Group”
“So?”
Li Tianlan had already for it
“So, the next topic will be sensitive I can’t speak, even to you What you have guessed inHuayang snickered His words were already very obvious Unless Li Tianlan was a fool, he could definitely understand his intention
Li Tianlan also re’s remark was very clear, especially the word puppet, which was obviously a hint of sohty Southeast Group and the uprising Prince Group must have quite a few conflicts Especially for the Prince Group, being a puppet was definitely not what it wanted to see
Under such circumstances, it was entirely reasonable for the Prince Group to strike back in advance at the end of the Southeast Group’s reign
Besides, the result showed that the Prince Group inal Xuanyuantai of Kunlun as the breakthrough of its counterattack
All that Zhuang Huayang had said was almost as if to explicitly tell him that his father’s case of treason was a counterattack fro to become a puppet Today’s Kunlun City had served as a accomplice
