Chapter 2967 Blind Date
"This is the best of times and the worst of times."
At the indoor racecourse in Beijing, Kong Zixiong tried to ride a large British horse. While strolling on the track, he said to Shiraishi Yasushi next to him:
"I didn't expect that Rong Shengli would die, and he would die in the hands of his own family."
Kong Zixiong burst out laughing: "Remembering what he said in the past and how respectful the nephews of the Rong family were to him, it's really a huge irony."
Although the rain is pouring outside, there is no rain inside. It is all blocked by bulletproof glass, allowing people to ride horses leisurely.
Not far away, a dozen Bai Kong's men stood quietly, waiting for their master's orders at any time.
Shiraishi Yasushi gracefully controlled the white horse and said a very philosophical sentence: "Absolute coercion will inevitably lead to absolute resistance."
The corner of Kong Zixiong's mouth curled up: "It seems that Rongguang and the others have tolerated him for many years, otherwise they wouldn't have led all the brothers to die together."
"When it was his sixtieth birthday, I saw Rong Shengli looking so energetic, and I thought he would have a seventy or eighty birthday."
"Unexpectedly, he died within a week."
"We haven't finished the food and wine for the birthday banquet yet. In a few days, we will take the whole family to the Rong family for dinner."
"I need to talk to the old man. Don't celebrate your seventieth birthday in the future. Living a simple life is more important than anything else."
When he said this, a look of amusement appeared on his face: "People who play this will get slapped in the face if they are not careful."
"Rong Shengli can be considered a character."
Bai Shiyasu sighed: "It is rumored that the scene was filled with blood. Rong Shengli killed two hundred masters by himself, including Rong Guang and Jia Mingzhu."
"No wonder the Rong family's ability has surpassed ours for many years. Rong Shengli is indeed not a simple character."
Shiraishi Yasushi moved forward slowly: "But he is finally dead now, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief."
Kong Zixiong sat up straight: "With Rong Shengli dead, the Rong family has become a piece of fat. For all the forces, this is a carnival feast."
"It's just that this feast often means fierce battles, not only with the Rong family, but also with other opponents."
Kong Zixiong smiled: "I heard that Jin Sanqian began to strengthen his troops and transferred Jin Guanxi back, and the Song family asked Song Tianbao to enter the capital."
"It looks like they want to drink the soup."
The internal fighting within the family was already dazzling, and the fighting between the families would only become more bloody. Kong Zixiong felt some pressure.
"No matter what their plan is, you and I should make it clear first and join forces to fight for it together."
Kong Zixiong whispered: "After we are done, add two to one to make five of the spoils. This will not only stabilize the results of the battle, but you and I won't kill each other, how about that?"
"The idea is good, but it's not that simple."
Compared with Kong Zixiong's complacency, Bai Shikang was more thoughtful. He looked at the pattering rain outside the window:
"Although Rong Shengli and Rong Guang are dead, don't forget that Rong Susu is still here."
"And Rong Susu is Young Master Ye's mother."
"Young Master Ye may have no feelings for the Rong family, but you will never sit back and watch your mother being bullied. If you touch the interests of the Rong family, you may have to confront Young Master Ye."
"So we need a speed here that can eat away at the Rong family without letting Young Master Ye rebound, but this speed is too difficult."
Shiraishi Yasushi sighed softly: "I have been thinking about it for two days and still can't grasp it."
"I forgot about the relationship between Rong Susu and Mr. Ye."
Being reminded by Bai Shikang, Kong Zixiong's smile faded, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"With Young Master Ye's character, he will not monopolize the benefits of the Rong family, but if it is necessary to protect Rong Susu, then it's hard to say!"
"In this case, wouldn't the family have to compete with Mr. Ye?"
Confucius Xiong expressed his embarrassment: "Aren't we two in a dilemma again?"
Like Bai Shikang, he coveted the huge interests of the Rong family, but he also knew Ye Tianlong's huge potential, and he did not want to tear up the rare friendship.
"It's not just a dilemma, it's simply a test."
Bai Shikang put away his whip: "From my standpoint, I would rather not have the interests of the Rong family than have a conflict with Mr. Ye."
"In addition to our long-standing friendship, I firmly believe that cooperating with Mr. Ye will bring more and greater benefits."
He changed the subject: "But you and I both know that this is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for the family. We can give up, but the family will not give up."
"No matter whether you or I stay aloof or try our best to advise the family head, the family will not listen to our will."
"They will definitely look for every opportunity to bite the Rong family. If Young Master Ye steps forward to protect him, he will also be attacked mercilessly by them."
Shiraishi Yasushi tightened his whip slightly: "This kind of drama has been going on in the five families for hundreds of years. It is difficult for you and me to change anything."
Kong Zixiong was a bit unwilling to give up: "What can't we do? Maybe, it will hurt both sides. After all, Mr. Ye is too evil."
Bai Shikang exhaled a long breath, and then thought thoughtfully:
"If we want to stop the ambitions of all parties, we must make them feel that there is a heavy price to pay for eating a piece of the Rong family's flesh."
"Maybe Mr. Ye will show an unshakable trend and let all the forces retreat in the face of difficulties, otherwise this reshuffle will be inevitable."
Bai Shikang narrowed his eyes slightly: "I wonder if Mr. Ye has any trump cards?"
Kong Zixiong suddenly laughed: "It's hard to say..."
"Brother——"
At this moment, a shout came from the door, and then several beautiful figures appeared in Shiraishi Kang's field of vision.
Bai Shuangshuang came over with a few female companions.
Although Bai Shuangshuang was not wearing a military uniform today, she was also wearing a black outfit, which was just the right size to show off her exquisite body.
Especially her wheat-colored skin tanned by the sun, which gave people an indescribable desire to conquer.
As she walked towards the runway, she said with resentment: "Brother, why are you hiding here? The phone is not on, I have been looking for you for a long time."
Bai Shikang reined in his horse and looked at his beloved sister: "I didn't take the phone, Shuangshuang, what's the matter?"
"Mom and others couldn't get through to you, so they asked me to come here to tell you that because of the flood, the Huameng High-speed Railway had a major malfunction."
Bai Shuangshuang's voice was sweet and crisp and concise: "Second Uncle and others are not feeling well recently, and you need to go to the border to deal with it."
Bai Shikang was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at Kong Zixiong, and smiled helplessly...
Kong Zixiong also smiled. They knew that the situation was going to start to become unstable...
"I know. I will handle it properly. No matter how urgent it is, we have to wait until the funeral of Mr. Rong the day after tomorrow before leaving."
Bai Shikang responded lightly, and then changed the subject: "Shuangshuang, aren't you in the military camp? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Bai Shuangshuang exhaled: "My mother called the camp and asked me to ask for leave. I thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be a blind date."
The woman who stayed in the military and was almost isolated from the outside world these days had a helpless look on her face.
Bai Shikang was slightly stunned: "Blind date? What blind date? Who to blind date with?"
After Jin Xuejun's death, almost no one mentioned Bai Shuangshuang's lifelong event. One was that they were afraid that she would be sad, and the other was that they didn't want to be involved with the Jin family.
"It seems to be the son of Aunt Rong Susu."
Bai Shuangshuang looked confused: "When did Aunt Rong have a son? How come I didn't know anything..."
Bai Shikang and Kong Zixiong shouted in unison: "Ye Tianlong?"
