Chapter 693 An Old Regular
Su Ning had another purpose in making this call: to have the Li family set up the situation and create momentum for him to deal with the Su family upon his emergence from seclusion.
Of course, if the Su family could not withstand the so-called attack, he would simply reap the rewards of victory.
Li Tianxing, the head of the Li family, said respectfully, "What are your orders, young master Su Ning?"
Su Ning smiled and said, "Someone will contact you later. You will act according to her instructions."
"I obey the young master's command!" Li Tianxing, the head of the Li family, said directly without further questions.
After hanging up the phone, Li Tianxing sat on the sofa, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.
"Master, are there arrangements from the capital?"
The butler beside him said, "Is it related to the Su family in the provincial capital?"
Although this old man was the butler, he was Li Tianxing's childhood friend and was loyal to him. Because of this, out of the entire Li family, not even his own son knew about his connection to the Su family in the provincial capital, yet he was the only one who knew about the Li family's connection to the Su family in the capital.
Recently, the Su family in the provincial capital had been making significant moves, which might attract the attention of the Su family in the capital. That's why he made this guess.
"It seems we have to deal with the Su family in the provincial capital..."
Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes, having already guessed the truth with high certainty.
"Master, don't you want to break free from the control of the Su family in the capital? The Su family in the provincial capital is too powerful now, and it's difficult for us to deal with them. Perhaps we should give up?" the old man said solemnly.
After the launch of the new drug, Su Yunxi had begun acquiring and merging the businesses of the Gu family and the Lei family.
The Gu family was mainly engaged in the pharmaceutical industry and was the Su family's biggest competitor. Now that the Gu family's businesses had been acquired, the Su family was unrivaled in the pharmaceutical industry in the provincial capital, completely dominating it!
Consequently, the Su family's strength had surpassed its peak. The Su family in the provincial capital also had the God of Medicine Pharmacy in Jiangzhou. The Li family was not necessarily a match for the Su family.
However, Li Tianxing shook his head and said, "To become stronger and bigger, the Su family in the provincial capital adopted a 'cutting the bone to heal the wound' approach, expelling all their relatives. They acted ruthlessly, clearly intending to contend with the Su family in the capital. If we don't do something, our families will also be defeated by the Su family!"
There had always been a competitive relationship between the major families in the provincial capital. The current rise of the Su family made Li Tianxing feel a sense of crisis.
Earlier, he had intended to break away from the Su family in the capital, but he had now abandoned this idea.
At present, confronting the Su family in the provincial capital was no longer just for the sake of the Su family in the capital, but also for their own sake.
"Indeed, the Su family is currently on a strong upward trend. It is said that they have many sunrise industries, and if they were to go public, their assets could easily exceed two hundred billion."
The Li family's butler said with trepidation.
The cards held by the Su family in the provincial capital were too strong, so strong they were frightening. They not only had a straight flush but also a royal flush!
"I'm a bit curious, who is the person Su Ning has sent?" Li Tianxing said curiously.
Before he finished speaking, a Li family servant rushed in and said, "Family Head, someone is looking for you outside. They say they are from the capital!"
"Please invite them in quickly!"
Li Tianxing quickly stood up.
"Yes, sir!"
The servant nodded, turned, and left. Soon, he returned with a stunning woman.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Tianxing's eyes lit up.
The woman wore a baseball cap that covered most of her face. Perhaps it was this half-hidden, half-revealed look that made her even more stunning.
She was dressed in a purple coat, jeans, and a white sweater, her curvaceous figure displayed to perfection.
It stirred something within Li Tianxing, whose heart had long since ceased to be easily moved. His lower half also stirred, feeling a sense of renewed youth.
"May I know what this young lady is called..."
Li Tianxing took two quick steps forward, intending to greet her, but suddenly he exclaimed, "Huh?"
He suddenly realized that the woman before him looked familiar, seeming to bear some resemblance to the princess he had seen at the Blue River Club.
"You are Li Tianxing, the head of the Li family?"
Shi Menglu, seeing Li Tianxing, said expressionlessly.
Her cool and extraordinary demeanor, and her condescending tone, put considerable pressure on Li Tianxing.
Li Tianxing sized up Shi Menglu, secretly shaking his head.
Her demeanor was completely different from that of the charming woman at the Blue River Club. Perhaps she just looked similar, and they were not the same person.
"I am indeed Li Tianxing! May I know what this young lady is called?"
Li Tianxing put away his thoughts and said with a smile.
"My surname is Shi!"
Shi Menglu's voice was cold.
"Hello, Miss Shi! May I know what task Young Master Ning has assigned?"
"Unite the other two of the four great families in the provincial capital to form an alliance and jointly attack the Su family," Shi Menglu said slowly.
As expected!
Li Tianxing's gaze sharpened. This was almost exactly as he had guessed.
"Also, from now on, you will obey my commands!"
"I obey!" Li Tianxing said respectfully.
Although Shi Menglu was young, she was sent by Su Ning. She was not Su Ning's woman but someone from a prominent family in the capital. He dared not underestimate her.
"Miss Shi, I'll have someone brew some excellent tea. Would you like a cup?" Li Tianxing politely gestured.
Shi Menglu nodded her fair chin and gracefully walked to sit on the leather sofa.
Li Tianxing, standing behind her, looked at Shi Menglu's alluring curves and a glint of greed flashed through his eyes. It was a pity that she was a woman who held herself in high esteem, not someone he could trifle with. What a pity.
"Thump!"
Suddenly, Shi Menglu bent down to sit, and an expensive wallet fell from her pocket onto the floor.
Looking at the wallet, Li Tianxing was slightly stunned.
"Why does this wallet look so familiar?"
Li Tianxing bent down to pick it up, and his expression became extremely strange.
He clearly remembered that he had given this wallet, which he had originally intended for his wife, to that princess at the Blue River Club. How could this wallet be in Shi Menglu's hands?
The serial number on it was the same; there was no mistake!
"Give me my wallet!"
Shi Menglu, her face flushed with embarrassment, snatched the wallet back.
How could she not feel awkward encountering an old regular customer?
"You are Lulu...?" Li Tianxing said suspiciously.
Lulu was Shi Menglu's alias at the Blue River Club.
Looking at the woman's familiar face again, even if Li Tianxing's memory was poor, he could guess that this Shi Menglu was that Lulu.
How did this woman transform into his superior?
"Shut up!"
Shi Menglu's entire face instantly turned extremely ferocious as she yelled, having been recognized.
In fact, the moment she saw Li Tianxing, she had recognized him. Li Tianxing was the "big brother" from that night.
This was too awkward!
It was precisely for this reason that Shi Menglu had adopted such a detached posture from the beginning, not wanting to be recognized.
But she hadn't expected her wallet to fall out at this moment, causing this guy to recognize her.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to reveal that matter, I won't let you off!" Shi Menglu said fiercely.
Li Tianxing was also smart. He nodded and said, "Lulu... Miss Shi, don't worry, I'll keep this matter buried."
"You're smart!"
Li Tianxing was also sweating profusely. He was genuinely worried that Shi Menglu might cause trouble for him.
He quickly said, "Miss Shi, there's no time to delay. I'll contact the other two families now..."
Having said that, Li Tianxing could no longer sit still and fled in a hurry.
