Chapter 2396 Isn’t that a fictional city?
"Where's Xiaohao?"
In the evening, Li Meng also came back from outside and sat at the dining table. He found that only Li Qian and Ling Tian were there, so he asked curiously.
"He went out for something." Ling Tian said softly, "I gave him a task and he went to do it, so Uncle Li may not have a little assistant during this period."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter."
Li Meng waved his hand and continued eating.
At the dinner table, because Li Qian was there, neither of them spoke about the Wang family. Instead, they chatted about some nonsense, such as which restaurant opened recently in Weicheng, or which place in Weicheng was developing rapidly.
After dinner was over, Li Meng gave Ling Tian a look, and then the two of them came to Li Meng's study, closed the door, and sat down face to face.
Li Meng looked at Ling Tian in front of him, paused for a moment, and then said softly, "This matter... has made some progress. It seems that the Tan family is willing to cooperate with us."
"Hmm?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "Uncle Li, are you saying that the Tan family is willing to compete with the Wang family? He's not afraid?"
"Scared!" Li Meng said helplessly, "But when he learned about the Wang family's plan, he probably realized that the Tan family would also disappear, so he wanted to take a gamble with us. He thought, since we're going to die anyway, we might as well give it a try and see if there's a glimmer of hope."
"Most importantly, his relationship with the Wang family is fading. So he feels that as long as the Wang family is ready to take action against these families, the Tan family will inevitably become one of the main targets. So he doesn't dare to bet that the Wang family will let him go, because that is a sure-win outcome."
Li Meng said this with some resignation, then looked at Ling Tian and said, "But except for the Tan family, the other families didn't show much interest, so I returned in disgrace."
Hearing the meaning behind Li Meng's words, Ling Tian was slightly stunned and said, "Uncle Li, you just said that other families are not very interested. Did you go to find the heads of these families one by one?"
"Hmm?" Li Meng looked up after hearing that. After a moment of stunned silence, he continued, "Didn't I tell you? Our families have their own small organizations. We occasionally get together for dinner and sit down to chat. It was only after I found out that today was a gathering day that I thought of discussing this in public."
"That's why I seemed so anxious earlier. After all, it was very close to the party starting time. But the final result..."
After hearing Li Meng's explanation, Ling Tian frowned and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
has a problem!
He suddenly discovered that there was such a connection between the families.
Does that mean that if one person in any of these families betrays, everyone will be doomed?
For example, today, after Li Meng proposed to rebel against the Wang family, would the details be heard by the Wang family?
That myself...
"Did you say anything about me?" Ling Tian looked at Li Meng and spoke with a frown.
"Ah?" Li Meng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "No, don't worry, my friend. I know you want to keep a low profile, so I won't reveal any of your information to them. You can rest assured about that."
Hearing that Li Meng hadn't revealed anything, Ling Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "The contacts between your families are likely to be known to the Wang family, so you must be extremely careful. You have already made your position clear, and the Wang family will definitely know. If you want to oppose them, you will definitely become a thorn in the Wang family's side."
Ling Tian briefly explained the current situation, and Li Meng nodded in sudden realization: "Right! How could I have forgotten about this? I was thinking that these people originally joined to prevent the Wang family from completely monopolizing the situation, so I always felt that these people would not betray our family."
"But now, after hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that this organization is a bit dangerous. After all, you are right. If any one of them wants to betray us, all of us will be wiped out."
Hearing that Li Meng knew the dangers of this matter, Ling Tian nodded: "That's what I mean. So Uncle Li, I still advise you to be careful. In fact, if you tell me before you go, we can discuss it."
Hearing this, Li Meng sighed and said with a helpless smile, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought I could give you a surprise, but I didn't expect that I would mess it up."
"It's not a complete failure." Ling Tian shook his head. "Didn't Uncle Li make an agreement with the Tan family? This is the first step to success. So, Uncle Li, tell me about the Tan family's situation."
"okay."
Li Meng took a deep breath and briefly recounted what he had planned to meet today.
It turned out that after the organizational meeting, Li Meng met alone with the head of the Tan family.
After the meeting, Li Meng briefly explained his purpose and said that he had a trump card, but did not reveal the existence of Ling Tian and Bing Bing.
On the other hand, after learning that Li Meng wanted to rebel against the Wang family, the head of the Tan family initially expressed concern, but seeing that Li Meng was so confident, he agreed and then made an appointment to meet at his home the next day.
After all, Li Meng knew that cooperation with the Tan family depended on Ling Tian's willingness, so he said that he would discuss it in detail tomorrow and then discussed with Ling Tian whether to let the Tan family join.
After hearing all the details, Ling Tian nodded and said, "If the Tan family joins, it won't be a big problem. It all depends on the Tan family's loyalty and their fear of the Wang family. If the Tan family is too afraid of the Wang family, they will definitely switch sides."
"I don't know about this either. Should I ask tomorrow?" Li Meng said hesitantly.
"Well, this is something we must ask. After all, we only have one chance. If the Wang family completely controls Weicheng, everything we have will be over."
As Ling Tian spoke, he thought about the purpose of his coming to Weicheng.
aisle!
Thinking back to when he appeared in Weicheng, he thought finding the passage would be the same as in Juncheng, which would be relatively simple.
Who would have thought that after being in Weicheng for so long, we haven’t found a passage, let alone any information about it.
Even Weicheng himself hadn't completed the investigation, but instead found himself caught up in a struggle with the Wang family.
Ling Tian pondered, sighed, looked at Li Meng and said, "And Uncle Li, more importantly, I hope Uncle Li can help me investigate the passage to the central city."
"Heading to Central City?!" Li Meng raised an eyebrow: "Isn't that the legendary city?"
……
Ling Tian was speechless. He didn't expect that even Li Meng thought that the passage did not exist and that the central city was an imaginary city.
After a moment of silence, Ling Tian helplessly held his forehead and said, "Uncle Li, just help me find it. As for the rest... don't worry about it."
"it is good!"
