Chapter 392: Young Master x Wild Warlord 11
Cui Jingming slowly put away his pistol, covered his thin lips and coughed softly a few times, then turned around with the support of Huo Hejing and looked at the shocked people behind him.
"Do you... have any questions?"
Cui Nanru stared at his elder brother in confusion, his gentle voice also carrying a hint of doubt.
"Brother, how do you know so much?"
He remembered that none of them told his elder brother about these things! How did the other party know this?
Cui Jingming: "..."
The original owner naturally didn’t know, but he knew!
He rolled his eyes, and a smile that seemed innocent but actually ostentatious appeared on his fair face.
"I figured it out based on the clues."
"Ever since I met Pei Mu, I have never seen him look at Cui Niannian, and his eyes are full of desire to survive and strong ambition."
"This kind of man won't be easily tempted."
"Since Pei Mu is ruthless, then he is certainly using Cui Niannian. If we trace the source, we can gradually understand what Pei Mu is planning."
He tilted his head and looked at Master Cui, "And Dad just said that Pei Mu came to Jinling from Suzhou to trace his ancestral roots. There is no other wealthy family with the surname Pei in Suzhou except that family."
"I'd be stupid if I couldn't guess the reason."
"Isn't it that the Pei family's illegitimate son used Cui Niannian and me to destroy the cooperation between the Cui and Huo families?"
“This is still an easy thing to guess~”
Cui Nanru, Mr. Cui and Mrs. Cui were all stunned, and their eyes gradually changed from surprise to pride. They looked at Cui Jingming in front of them with pride.
"As expected of my son, he is really smart."
"Brother is really amazing. He can see the big picture from the small details. Things are exactly as he said."
Mr. Cui and Cui Nanru praised it excitedly.
Cui Jingming said helplessly: "I love reading, but that doesn't mean I only know how to read."
Commander Huo's eyes changed several times as he looked at the young man, and finally slowly returned to his previous calmness.
If a smart man with a unique vision like Cui Jingming had not been plagued by illness, the Cui family in Jinling would surely have a new head who was resourceful and decisive.
It’s a pity that the other party suffers from heart disease and can’t stand the fatigue.
Huo Hongzhou looked at Cui Jingming with shining eyes, and he particularly admired his sister-in-law's intelligence.
Hahahaha, that’s so great!
The Huo family will finally have a resourceful person!
The second young master Huo, who had long envied the Cui family's smart brains, stared at the young man who seemed like a hermit, and the other party's status in his heart rose rapidly.
From now on, the Huo family will no longer be afraid of other people's schemes!
If he encounters bad guys trying to cheat him, he will turn to his eldest sister-in-law to ensure that no one can trick him.
Hahaha, he is such a clever little guy!
Huo Hejing's face was also full of pride, and his eyes were bright and lively as he looked at the beauty beside him.
"Jingming is truly a man of great talent."
Look, his sweetheart is indeed the best!
Not only is she good-looking, she is also smart and clever. Who can compare to his wife?
No, no! His wife is the best!
Cui Jingming raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Hejing without saying anything more.
After taking revenge with her own hands, the sick beauty returned the pistol that did not belong to her to Mr. Cui, turned around and walked out, with no intention of staying here to give advice.
Huo Hejing happily followed the beauty away.
"Jingming, wait for me."
"I'll hold you, be careful there are steps ahead."
Commander Huo and Huo Hongzhou stayed where they were and discussed the follow-up matters of the alliance between the two families with the Cui family.
The two companies will continue to cooperate.
The Huo family needs the Cui family's power and connections, and the Cui family also needs the Huo family's army.
One is civil and the other is military, only cooperation can lead to win-win situation.
But they also need to deal with the Suzhou Pei family who attempted to interfere with the cooperation between the two families, as well as the Liu family who provided convenience for Cui Niannian and Pei Mu to leave the city.
Commander Huo and Mr. Cui hit it off immediately.
One is swift and resolute, the other is cunning and sly, and when they join forces, every move they make is sure to be deadly.
Cui Nanru and Huo Hongzhou were rubbing their hands, waiting for the next big action.
Mrs. Cui sat nearby and occasionally interjected.
"I sent people to keep an eye on the Liu family last night. Any action they take will not escape surveillance."
"The Liu family is in Jinling City, so it's easy to deal with."
Mr. Cui twirled the jade ring on his thumb and stared at the lady beside him with a serious expression.
"Then let's start with the Liu family."
"As for the Pei family behind the scenes far away in Suzhou, we will just take it one step at a time!"
"It's boring to play cat and mouse and kill them all at once. A little bit of torture is fun. It's a good opportunity to let other little mice see the consequences of their reckless behavior."
Commander Huo and Huo Hongzhou drank hot tea in tacit understanding and listened to the Cui family's plan happily.
Tsk, this is the benefit of forming an alliance with smart people!
They only need to provide military support, and the Cui family will take care of all the plots against people.
The only disagreement between the two sides was the issue of remarriage.
Commander Huo and his son Huo Hongzhou both want to bring Cui Jingming back to be their military advisor, oh no, son-in-law/sister-in-law.
But Mr. Cui and Cui Nanru were strictly opposed to the marriage, while Mrs. Cui's attitude was ambiguous.
It is equivalent to the Cui family's two votes against and one neutral vote.
With the addition of the two votes of approval from the Huo family, Mrs. Cui's opinion became particularly important.
Master Cui: "We can't harm Jingming."
Commander Huo: "Don't worry, Madam Cui. My eldest brother is a man who loves his wife. I guarantee that your Jingming will not suffer any grievances if he marries him."
Cui Nanru: "Mom, Huo Hejing has a violent temper and is definitely not a good match for Big Brother!"
Huo Hongzhou: "Aunt Cui, my elder brother is brave and good at fighting, and he can definitely protect my elder sister-in-law."
Mrs. Cui cleared her throat and said, "This marriage still depends on my Jingming's opinion."
"As long as Jingming agrees, the marriage can be done."
"If Jingming doesn't agree, the marriage won't happen."
She looked at the four men present tenderly, with a hint of strength evident between her brows.
"There is no rush for marriage. Let's discuss it after we ask my son."
The four people present stopped talking about it and returned to the topic of dealing with the Liu and Pei families.
"Let's discuss where to start first."
"Although the Liu family is not as powerful as the Cui family, which has been operating here for generations, it is not small either. If we want to completely eradicate the Liu family, we have to spend some effort."
"Yes, Cui Wen, what do you think we should do?"
The Huo father and son spoke first and then turned the topic to Mr. Cui, who had a sullen look on his face.
"Of course I'll kill them with one strike. Otherwise, why would I keep the Liu family around to get in my way?"
After saying this, Master Cui snorted coldly, "What the heck is the Liu family? I didn't bother to deal with them before, but they really thought I was a pushover!"
"I'll let them know the consequences of crossing the line."
The diligent guards of the Cui Mansion had already dragged Cui Niannian's body away and dumped it in a mass grave. Four nimble little maids cleaned up the bloodstains without batting an eyelid.
They are paid to do the job, so there is no need to know too much.
After all, the more you know, the faster you die, especially in such a turbulent and chaotic world as today.
