Chapter 455
“Little girl, how about this? I will step in and personally invite Murong Qiu to the Liu family. When the time comes, you’ll act according to circumstances? Let’s not go out in the middle of the night to arrest people, okay?” Elder Liu discussed with Chen Meng’er. Elder Liu meant that if his granddaughter went out in the middle of the night again like last time, he would age by a few years.
In the end, Chen Meng’er was unable to personally arrest him. Recently, there were some people in the government circles in the capital who were anxious.
The director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Tian Zhenhua, and the deputy director, Xing Xiao, disappeared one after another. At first, Xing Xiao’s wife, Sun Ying, was shouting that her husband, Xing Xiao, had been taken away. However, she immediately quieted down. As for Tian Zhenhua’s wife, she called the police. She said that her husband had disappeared when he was sleeping at home at night. The Public Security Bureau had gone to the scene to investigate and collect evidence.
However, they had found nothing. Xing Xiao and Tian Zhenhua had disappeared just like that. In the past few days, there had been all kinds of rumors in the official circles of the capital.
Therefore, Elder Liu had suggested that Chen Meng’er should not go against the wind and commit crimes in the limelight. Elder Liu did not give Chen Meng’er any time to object. Instead, he sent an invitation to Murong Qiu, inviting him to be a guest at the Liu residence.
When Murong Qiu received Elder Liu’s invitation from the matriarch of the Murong family, he was shocked and did not show it on his face. However, the hand that received the invitation from the matriarch of the Murong family was trembling.
The matriarch of the Murong family, who was holding back her anger, had a very ugly expression on her face. She did not notice Murong Qiu’s trembling hand. How could the matriarch of the Murong family not be angry? Other than the eldest daughter who had married into the Qu family, none of the other children she had had any prospects. This illegitimate child, however, had actually managed to thrive in the officialdom under her oppression.
Those old fellows of the Murong family had indirectly conveyed to her several times that Murong Qiu was suitable to become the next head of the Murong family.
The matriarch of the Murong family had already smashed a few blue and white porcelain pieces. How could that b*stard steal her son’s things. Even if she were to die, she would not relent and hand the Murong family over to him. Fortunately, her eldest daughter, Murong Qin, had married into the Qu family. Those old fellows of the Murong family were worried about the Qu family, so they only dared to bring it up in a veiled manner and did not dare to bring it up openly.
However, this time, Elder Liu of the Liu family had actually sent an invitation to invite this b*stard Murong Qiu. This made matriarch of the Murong family extremely shocked. She actually didn’t know when this son of a b*tch, Murong Qiu, had hooked up with the Liu family.
“Murong Qiu, you’re really amazing. You actually secretly hooked up with Elder Liu behind our backs,” Murong Di, the eldest son of matriarch of the Murong family, looked at Murong Qiu and said with a displeased expression. Ever since Murong Qiu had come, those old fellows of the Murong family had always looked down on him. They had always wanted to hand the Murong family over to this son of a b*tch, Murong Qiu.
Murong Qiu ignored the sarcasm of his half-brother, Murong Di. Only he knew in his heart that Elder Liu’s invitation was probably a hot one. Murong Qiu could not help but smile bitterly in his heart. He really wished that he did not have this invitation.
Murong Qiu wanted to pretend that he had never received this invitation. However, under the watchful eyes of the Murong family, how could he escape from this? Murong Qiu had heard a lot of rumors over the past two days, and Murong Qiu was different from those people who did not know the inside story. Although he did not know who took Xing Xiao and Tian Zhenhua, he knew in his heart that their matter had been exposed.
However, he still did not know the exact purpose of taking Xing Xiao and Tian Zhenhua away. This made his heart even more panicked. However, he also knew that he could not lose his footing. He also knew that there were some things that could not be avoided even if he wanted to. Therefore, he had thought about escaping and hiding in his heart several times,
