Chapter 17 Really Their People?
"So… they really sent people to find him?"

Li Chenzhou's shock naturally stemmed from Qing Cang's predictions. From the moment he left until now, everything that had happened was roughly the same as what Qing Cang had said.

And now, looking at Liu Xiaohui's expression and tone, Li Chenzhou knew in his heart that Qing Cang was right again!

Therefore, amidst his shock, Li Chenzhou was actually somewhat anticipating the upcoming reversal!

On the other side, when Hu Tao saw Li Chenzhou's expression, he was also deeply shaken.

Ever since he had seen Li Chenzhou, he had always seemed so indifferent, as if nothing in this world could move him. He was clearly a young man under twenty years old, but his eyes were as deep as an eighty-year-old fox. Moreover, this young man was very shrewd and definitely not a simple character.

But now, this guy was showing a shocked expression for the first time. What was the reason? Could it be because of Liu Xiaohui's words? Did that money-grabbing guy have such ability?

Hu Tao felt that something was not quite right, so he looked at Liu Xiaohui. The other giants did the same, and the other three major families even looked at Liu Xialai, wanting to know what was going on with inquiring glances.

Liu Xialai saw the glances from the other three major families, but ignored them, sneering in his heart:

"You all ran over there just now, ignoring me, planning to abandon my Liu family? Then don't blame me for not playing with you. It's better for one family to take the benefits than for four families to divide them. In the future, my Liu family will be the biggest family.

"Hmm! Maybe Hu Tao is right. The empire… seems not bad? How about the Liu Hua Empire?"

While Liu Xialai was daydreaming there, ignoring the winks from the other three major families, a group of people came from outside, the one in the middle being none other than Qing Cang!

Seeing Qing Cang, Li Chenzhou exchanged a look with him, and they exchanged glances without any sound. Then, they stopped looking at each other and didn't say a word.

"Everyone, this is a small steward from my Liu family, named Liu Xiang. Just now, after Qing Cang left, he went to find him, but was discovered by my people. Then, they heard the conversation between them! They immediately reported it to me!"

Liu Xiaohui pointed to a person next to Qing Cang and said:

"Guess what he heard?"

Saying that, Liu Xiaohui swept his gaze over the crowd, then looked at Li Chenzhou, suddenly snorting coldly:

"Hmph, this kid is just a liar. He's not from the outside world at all, but the descendant of a servant from our Liu family!"

Liu Xiaohui's words were like a thunderclap, even Hu Tao was stunned, Captain Jin was also looking surprised, and the other major giants were also looking at Li Chenzhou with disbelief on their faces.

Li Chenzhou's eyes did not change, still as calm as water, nor did he open his mouth to defend himself, just quietly looking at Liu Xiaohui, with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Xiaohui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that no one would believe him, but now it seemed that the effect was not bad. Then, the rest depended on his performance!

But then, after seeing Li Chenzhou's expression, Liu Xiaohui's good mood was instantly ruined. In his opinion, after hearing his words, Li Chenzhou should have shown some reaction, or even angrily jumped up and accused him.

That way, he could counterattack depending on the situation. No matter what, this kid was still young. As long as he provoked him, he would have a way to make him fall into his verbal trap.

Having managed the outer gate for so long, he had come into contact with countless people, and his speaking skills were quite skilled. As long as Li Chenzhou was willing to answer, he was confident that he could trap this kid!

But unexpectedly, Li Chenzhou didn't show any reaction, as if he wasn't the one being talked about. This made Liu Xiaohui feel like a rat trying to pull a turtle, with no place to start.

However, Liu Xiaohui didn't panic, because they had already arranged everything, including all the fake information. The Liu family was definitely the most professional when it came to deceiving people. They had used such methods to deceive countless people, yet those people had no way to defend themselves! They could only accept their fate!

"Come on, Liu Xiang, tell us everything about your affair. If you do, I can consider sparing your life, otherwise… hmph, not only you, but even your family, I will make them sink into hell! You know that I can do what I say."

Liu Xiaohui waved his hand at a man around thirty years old next to Qing Cang, then looked at everyone:

"Now that the person is here, I might as well let him say it himself. Moreover, there are currently only three people who know about this matter, and they are all here now, so let's just resolve the matter here!"

After speaking, he pulled Liu Xiang and looked at him coldly:

"Speak, don't hide anything, otherwise, you know the consequences!"

"Yes! Elder, I know I was wrong. I will definitely tell you everything truthfully. It doesn't matter if the elder kills me in the end, I only beg you to spare my family, they are all unaware!"

Liu Xiang hurriedly begged for mercy, then looked at the other giants and said:

"I'm sorry everyone, I… I actually just wanted to cheat some mutated crystal cores, so that I could become stronger and allow my family to live better. I have four sons, and these four sons have three fathers, they…"

"Keep it short! What nonsense are you talking about? Get to the point!!!"

Captain Jin couldn't help but shout.

"Let me do it!"

At this time, Qing Cang came out, looked at Liu Xiaohui, a sneer appearing on his face, then said to everyone:

"This is the whole thing! Li Chenzhou is the descendant of a servant from the Liu family, and his father, that is, that servant, is a servant of a person in charge of the Liu family's research institute.

"Because he wanted to make a name for himself, he stole the information of the Liu family's person in charge, and secretly studied it himself. Unfortunately, he was not a real researcher after all, so even with the information, he failed to succeed.

"In the end, this person disappeared, and no one knows where he went. Now it seems that he should have gone to another world, and he really researched something.

"So, his child—that is, Li Chenzhou—brought the work he researched and planned to come here to make money. Because they knew each other before, his child found Liu Xiang from the Liu family. After the two colluded, Liu Xiang helped him contact me.

"Because I was signing up for the infiltration mission, knowing that I would not be able to return, I planned to leave more wealth for my family, so I agreed to cooperate with them, pretending to know him from the outside.

"Moreover, in order to be realistic, I had to let my sister be captured by the Devourers, because, first, I had to stay, and second… my sister being captured would make my words easier to be believed!"

Qing Cang said a lot in one breath, and hearing his words, everyone, including Hu Tao, was stunned. After all this time, the evolutionary potion that they regarded as an opportunity from the Duoluo world was just a shocking scam?
