Chapter 785 - Insults from Lancaster
The car slowly drove into the manor, the atmosphere inside was completely different from the clamor outside, it was extremely solemn inside, the endless green fields were filled with Gong Jia's and Lancaster family's bodyguards, each one of them stood with their hands behind their back, preparing for battle.Many cars were parked in front of the large villa.
A bodyguard stepped forward to help them open the car door, just as Shi Xiaonian was about to get out, she was suddenly hugged from behind.
Gong Ou reached out and hugged Shi Xiaonian from behind, lowered her head and buried his face into her neck.
Like a child.Maybe only at this moment, when he was about to go in and meet the people from Lancaster family did Gong Ou become more honest.
Shi Xiaonian sat there motionlessly as she was held by him. Her heart felt like it had been grabbed by something, and she felt slight pain as she tilted her head.
"Don't look at me!"
Gong Ou's voice was heavy.
Shi Xiaonian held his hand without turning her head, and said gently, "Alright, I won't look at you, I will sit here. You can carry me however long you want."
"…"
Gong Ou didn't say anything as he tightly embraced her. He buried his face in his neck and breathed on her skin, as if he could stay there forever.
But reality was something to be faced with, and no one could avoid it.
When Gong Ou got off the car, there was nothing strange with it. He reached out and straightened his sleeves, and under the protection of Feng De and the bodyguards, he walked towards the door in high spirits.
The conference room was spotless and empty.
The sofas were all single-seater. Before Lancaster's people could arrive, Shi Xiaonian sat down beside Gong Ou. Before she could steady himself, a voice sounded.
Young Master Beetee.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou and his face darkened, the hand she was holding her with suddenly tightened. She had her doubts, and hadn't asked Feng De who was standing behind them, "Bitter is Mo Nuo's little brother, the most unfavored son of the Lancaster family. She was placed in a foreign country all year round, but I didn't expect him to come here to meet with her.
"…"
So it was like this.
After the death of Master Gong, everyone knew that Gong Ou was the manager of the Gong Jia.
How could Gong Ou endure it?
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou and let go of her hand. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she stood up from the sofa.
At the door, a few bodyguards walked in first. Following which, a youth in a suit and leather shoes walked in. He was around sixteen to seventeen years old, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a childish face.
"Second Young Master Gong, hello."The teenager walked in front of Gong Ou and looked at him with disdain, his chin raised very high.
Behind him stood Lancaster's team of lawyers, all of them looking down on him with contempt in their eyes.
"Hello, Beetee."Gong Ou expressionlessly extended his hand out to shake hands with him.
The youth withdrew his hand and said, "You should respectfully call me Young Master Bi Bi."
Honorable title.Normally, Gong Ou would have kicked the youth out already, but now he just stood there and said without getting angry, "Hello, Young Master Bi."
The teenager shook hands with him in satisfaction. Gong Ou suddenly exerted force in his hands, and the teenager's face immediately flushed red. Before he could say anything, Gong Ou had released his hand, "Sit."
As if reciting his words, he said, "Second Young Master Gong, I am glad to meet you. I am still young, and my words are direct.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou, and Gong Ou lowered his gaze. His eyes were gloomy, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with the intent of friendship, "What do you want to say?"
"I really admire Second Young Master Gong. Even though he knew he couldn't beat our family, he still provoked them a few times, like the monkeys in the zoo. Father and the others knew that I like monkeys, so they sent me over." It was obvious who had asked him to say it.Hearing this, the atmosphere in the meeting room turned ice-cold.
Shi Xiaonian knew that Lancaster was here to insult them, but she never thought that she would be so ruthless. She directly likened Gong Ou to a monkey, these words were from the mouth of a young man, and it was even more unbearable.
She sat with her hands clenched in her lap, almost wanting to get up and speak.
However, Gong Ou just laughed indifferently, and said with a deep voice, "I can see that memorizing is also very tiring, why don't you get straight to the point, and let me see what your family wants."
He did not know how to reply. Someone at the side lowered their head to remind him, and Bitter said, "Alright then, let my lawyer announce my father's intentions."
With that, an old lawyer walked to the center of the room, opened the black folder in his hands and started to read, "Berg Island's right to the exploitation of resources, Gong Jia's three mines in South Africa, Gong Jia's royal family …"
Without saying anything extra, the lawyer immediately started to propose a settlement request, directly asking for it with his mouth wide open. They really wanted to humiliate Gong Ou with all their details.
As the lawyer read the words, the remaining people of Lancaster, including Bitter, started to size up Gong Ou, hoping to see his ugly expression.But when they looked over, all they could see was an image, which was Gong Ou staring at Shi Xiaonian, staring at him non-stop.
Lancaster had a lot of things to ask for and couldn't finish a few pages.Gong Ou allowed them to talk about him as they pleased, his handsome face carrying a sense of ease. After a while, he glanced behind him and saw Feng De standing there, looking at the time. Then, he lowered his head slightly towards Gong Ou.
Gong Yu had already begun to move.Everyone in Lancaster must be paying attention to the situation over here. They wanted to see if Gong Ou would agree to all the conditions for them to make way for him.
Shi Xiaonian sat there and raised her hand to hold Gong Ou's hand.When the lawyer was about to ask Gong Ou to give up a few big wineries, Gong Ou frowned. The people Lancaster had sent all had a look of joy on their faces, but they heard Gong Ou holding Shi Xiaonian's hand and say, "Why is your hand so cold? I'll cover it for you! "
"…"
Everyone was speechless.
The lawyer could only continue reading, they were not sure if Gong Ou would agree to it or not."Sure, help me cover it."
Shi Xiaonian smiled, and obediently let Gong Ou cover her hands, trying her best to make him ignore the conditions put forward by the lawyers.
Although Gong Ou didn't say anything on the surface, Shi Xiaonian knew that he already wanted to jump and kick.On the other side.
In Lancaster's holiday villa, Gong Yu brought a large group of people to secretly infiltrate. Using the advanced apparatus that Gong Ou gave them, he eliminated some of the security alerts in the villa and started to disperse in search of people.Gong Yu and his two subordinates jumped down from the pavilion and entered. The voices of the other subordinates came through their earphones.
"Eldest Young Master, there's no one in the 1st region. Let's start the search."
"Eldest Young Master, there's no one in the second region. Let's start searching carefully."
"Eldest Young Master, there's no one in the third region. Let's start searching carefully."There was no one speaking one sentence after another.
Gong Yu's expression darkened. How could there be no one here? If Luo Lie was really locked up here, Lancaster would understand his importance. But now, the entire Villa was like an empty city.They had already snuck in for ten minutes without seeing anyone.
"Eldest Young Master, something's wrong."
Following the words of one of Gong Yu's subordinates, the Villa was simply too quiet.
"I know."Gong Yu frowned, he reached out and pressed on his earphones, "Those who have not come in, do not enter, wait outside for my instructions."
He smelled something unusual.
Gong Yu continued to walk forward. The villa's terrain was complex and there were pavilions, houses, fake mountains and water everywhere. Just the garden itself would allow them to circle around for a long time.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not too far away.
Gong Yu made a gesture and hid behind a pillar together with two of his subordinates. He stuck his head out and peeked his head out, only to see two servants carrying plates out from the fake mountain, and said while walking, "It's not like he's eating, does he want to fast food?"
"Who knows? After being locked up for two days, he has suffered a lot. He has suffered a lot, but it seems like he doesn't care at all."
"Don't you think it's strange? People like him who betrayed the family should have long been put to death. Why are they still keeping him alive?"
"I don't know."Gong Yu's gaze turned cold. After hearing these words, he rushed out and quickly subdued the two servants and dragged them to the foot of the mountain. He pressed them against the fake mountain and asked, "Is it Luo Lie who has been locked up?"
"You, who are you people?"
The two servants looked at them in horror.
"Speak, or I'll kill you!" One of his men grabbed the servant by the neck and hurriedly said when he saw the servant, "No, no, I will tell you."
"Speak."Gong Yu stood there, and the ground was littered with food scraps.
"It's Dr. Lorry. He was locked in the darkroom under the rockery." the servant said, and his men immediately knocked them out and threw them aside.
Gong Yu stood there and did not move.
The two lackeys walked around the fake mountain and found a hidden door. "Eldest Young Master, we've found the hidden door. Let's go."
Gong Yu still did not move, he only stood there.
"Eldest Young Master?" Won't we leave? "
His subordinate looked at Gong Yu strangely.
"It's too quiet." Gong Yu said coldly. It was just like that night in Luo Mansion, too quiet.
"…"
"It went too smoothly."
Gong Yu said. They did not see a single person on the entire Villa's road, and the first thing they saw was the servant who brought food to Luo Lie.
"Then what should we do? Are we still going to break through this secret door? "
the subordinate asked.
Gong Yu frowned, he turned and looked at the food on the ground, then squatted down, and started preparing the rice that the Chinese liked to eat, it was still giving off heat.
If it was a trap, wouldn't it be too meticulous to make such a thing?Suddenly, a panicked voice came out from Gong Yu's earpiece, "Young Master, it's bad, we've been discovered!"
As soon as his voice fell, the whole Manor was filled with sirens.
The sound of fighting came from the headphones.
"What should we do, Eldest Young Master? We haven't even found him yet and we've already been discovered. Should we retreat first? " His subordinate looked at Gong Yu anxiously.
