Chapter 998 [A pair of lovers] (1
Xu Lang actually shouted subconsciously, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was now by Qianxia and was communicating with his subordinates in code language.
This subordinate is a member of the Dragon Guard transferred by Xu Lang. He directly contacted the guard chief Ai Guru. After he received Ai Guru's report message, he could report to Xu Lang directly.
The news reported to Xu Lang just now was that something happened to Liu Ruyan's family. All the smart figures of the Liu family were dispatched. They were forcing Liu Ruyan to hand over the position of the head of the monk. Even Liu Ruyan's grandfather Liu Zongyuan vomited blood one after another and was admitted to the hospital. The situation in the Liu family was in danger.
What happened to Yan'er, how could Xu Lang not worry? He knew that Yan'er had suffered so much in the past few days, but he could not help Yan'er at the moment because the matter on his side had not been completed yet, and the mastermind behind the scenes was lurking in the dark. Only by giving the other party a full opportunity to display his hands and feet, the other party would reveal his flaws.
Looking for flaws and defeating the enemy with one move is what Xu Lang needs to do. Judging from the current situation, the time is far from here. The big conspirator behind the scenes has not yet revealed any flaws. Xu Lang must give the other party enough time and space.
Hearing the report from his subordinates, although Xu Lang was anxious, he could only do this for the time being and could not take any counterattack.
Xu Lang shouted subconsciously, and Qianxia next to him couldn't help but be shocked, "Emperor, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay." Xu Lang had no choice but to say.
After returning to the hotel room, Xu Lang immediately replied to his subordinates, asking them not to do anything for the time being, and put Liu Ruyan's safety first, and he must ensure Liu Ruyan's safety no matter what.
Although Xu Lang knew that the situation of the Liu family was critical, he could only feel and guess from afar. In fact, there was really undercurrents within the Liu family and crises were everywhere.
………
China, Jiangdu, and in the ancestral home of the Liu family.
Yesterday and during the day today, Liu Zongyuan vomited black pus and blood, but he couldn't even find out the cause of the disease. He just thought it was caused by severe injuries from the man in the black robe at the time, but he didn't think much about it. He didn't know that his body had been painted with colorless and odorless poison for several days, and even with modern medical technology could not be detected.
Liu Zongyuan had been hiding from his granddaughter Liu Ruyan, afraid that she would worry, but Yan'er discovered that he vomited blood. Yan'er insisted on sending his grandfather to the hospital for recuperation. However, the old man refused to stay in the hospital and insisted on going home. He was worried about the Liu family's business.
However, Mr. Liu Zongyuan's body was indeed completely destroyed, with both heart and lungs and liver and gallbladder rupture, and his life was not long.
At this time, the old man was lying on the bed in the practice room. He was still trying to practice, but he couldn't use any force. His granddaughter Liu Ruyan stood beside him and cried and begged him not to work so hard, but the old man didn't take it seriously.
"Grandpa, I beg you. Your body can't be so troubled anymore. Can you rest well? Don't stay in the practice room. The conditions here are too poor." Liu Ruyan begged crying.
Liu Zongyuan looked at his granddaughter and thought about the future of the Liu family. He couldn't help but think of the harm he had brought to Xu Lang. All this was his own fault.
Liu Zongyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Liu Ruyan the truth.
"Yan'er, you heard from grandpa, grandpa, I'm sorry for you. Grandpa was not harmed by Xu Lang, but was actually rescued by Xu Lang. Previously, grandpa passed the position of head of the family to you and planned to retire. On the one hand, he intended to let the Liu family's ulterior motives emerge, so that grandpa could help you deal with them, and on the other hand, he also planned to continue practicing martial arts and give you the opportunity to practice.
You also know that grandpa is not good at business in his life and is obsessed with martial arts. But he didn't expect that now, grandpa not only can't help, but has become a burden to you, causing you and Xu Lang to be together with a lover but cannot be loved by each other. Grandpa feels guilty! I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for Xu Lang!" Liu Zongyuan said seriously word by word.
Liu Ruyan said with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, stop talking, I know all this. In fact, I have never doubted Xu Lang. Xu Lang is not the kind of man who is greedy for the power of the Liu family and even harms you. He really likes Yan'er, and Yan'er is willing to be Xu Lang's lover. He deserves this for him."
Liu Zongyuan nodded with relief, and then thought, he became even more sad. He had falsely accused Xu Lang and forced apart a lover. What a great sin. Moreover, since Yan'er had known that Xu Lang was not a bad person, he was still willing to obey his words. How much grievance had he suffered from Yan'er.
Liu Zongyuan said again: "Yan'er, there is a reason why grandpa did this, and it is to defend the foundation of the Liu family. You must know that the foundation of our entire Liu family is your second grandfather, that is, my younger brother Liu Zongkui earned it with his life. Even your aunt and my younger sister Liu Sanmei have worked hard for the foundation of the Liu family. When his younger brother Liu Zongkui was dying, he grabbed my hand and told me that I should keep the business of the Liu family no matter what, and carry forward the Liu family.
Grandpa, although I am not good at business and do not like business even more, whenever I think of my brother's eyes before my death, I force myself to do something for the Liu family's family business. Therefore, for decades, on the one hand, I have practiced martial arts and on the other hand, I have tried my best to maintain the business of the Liu family. Until your father became an adult, I was able to help me with housework, and when the Liu family is today, your father Liu Changhe has also worked hard.
Although your father was not upright in his mind and was punished by the law for his wrong path, he was my son after all. After all, his father made great sacrifices for the foundation of the Liu family. Whenever he thought of the sacrifices made by generations of the Liu family for the foundation of the Liu family, how could his grandfather bear to watch the property of the Liu family fall into the hands of the people next to him?
So, when I saw Xu Lang getting very close to you, I judged a gentleman by his villain's heart, thinking that he did it so much to covet the foundation of the Liu family, so I disagreed with my conscience and accused Xu Lang.
Now, grandpa knows that he is wrong and should not treat you like this. He wants to apologize to Xu Lang and make sure you two lovers finally get married.”
Liu Zongyuan said slowly, every word and sentence came from the heart.
Liu Ruyan cried and said, "Grandpa, stop talking, hurry up and have a rest. Xu Lang won't be angry with you, Yan'er won't know much more. When Xu Lang comes back from abroad, I will bring Xu Lang to see you."
Liu Zongyuan nodded.
Afterwards, Liu Zongyuan focused on telling Liu Ruyan about his younger brother Liu Zongkui's difficult journey in starting a business.
Only then did Liu Ruyan realize that Jiangdu City was occupied by the R army back then. In order to protect the foundation of the Liu family, my grandfather did not hesitate to carry out the infamy of a traitor and work for him. After receiving his support, the second grandfather Liu Zongkui became the president of the Jiangnan Business Association, which was more conducive to the development of the Liu family.
However, the second grandfather was not a real traitor, but was a compromise and rescue of the country in a row. On the one hand, he maintained the Liu family's family business, and on the other hand, he was also to keep the entire Jiangnan region's business from persecution by the R army.
At the end, R Jun found out that the second grandfather was pretending to surrender, and even violently pulled the second grandfather to the square and hanged the second grandfather in public.
Before his death, the second grandfather grabbed his grandfather's hand and told him to protect the Liu family's foundation.
After knowing this, Liu Ruyan finally understood why her grandfather had framed Xu Lang against her conscience.
At the end, Liu Zongyuan actually said, "Yan'er, grandpa has figured it out. Grandpa is no longer able to support the foundation of the Liu family. When Xu Lang comes back, grandpa plans to pass on the position of head of the Liu family to him and let him protect you and the foundation of the Liu family. I don't know if you agree."
Liu Ruyan naturally had no objection and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, Yan'er followed his instructions in everything."
Liu Zongyuan nodded with relief, "That's good, that's good, go, grandpa is tired, you should rest early."
Liu Ruyan said, "Grandpa, you are not young anymore, you should go back to the hospital for recuperation."
Liu Zongyuan shook his head and said heavily: "Go, don't worry about me, be obedient, go."
Liu Ruyan had no choice but to leave her grandfather's practice room first.
