Immortal Way Retrograde

Chapter 285 Conversation
On the other hand, Li Quan was much more restrained when the four big families acted unscrupulously and domineeringly in the city, which almost formed a stark contrast between the two sides.

Seeing that the person finally came, Li Quan couldn't help showing a somewhat relieved smile on his face, and he hurriedly got up and went out to greet him.There is no airs of a city lord in his whole body, and he looks very approachable.

Vaguely, Jun Luo felt that Li Quan treated them with a bit of flattery.

"Everyone has come from a long way, please take a seat." While talking, he winked at the talented boy who led the way, and the boy was quick-witted, turned around and left.

During this period, Jun Luo and others made some simple greetings and introductions, and it didn't take long for the young man to bring a pot of tea and a few cups.

It's just that this set of tea sets is really too old, and one of them is even a little chipped.

Seeing Jun Luo staring at the teacup, Li Quan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, the current City Lord's Mansion really can't come up with anything good to entertain everyone, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Fang Shuo picked up the teacup and looked at it for a while, "I see the city is prosperous, how could you, as the lord of the city, become so desolate."

These words were not indirect, almost making Li Quan's smile disappear instantly.

Li Quan sighed softly, feeling that the tea in this cup was only bitter: "It's a long story, and now our Donglin City only looks prosperous on the outside, but in fact it has already been strong and hollow. The life I live is similar to mine, only a small number of people attached to the four great families live a pretty good life.

Moreover, this small number of people also need to have a certain skill in order to be qualified to follow the four great families. "

"In short, the power that belongs to you has been emptied by the four great families."

Li Quan nodded, "As long as I have someone in my hands, I wouldn't take so long to know that you have entered the city."

Jun Luo and Fang Shuo looked at each other, "Then how did you know we went to the inn in Nancheng District?"

"It was the Zhu family who notified me. Now that the entire city is under the control of the four great families, it is only natural to know your whereabouts."

When Jun Luo was thinking about something, he liked to tap on the table.

"Looking at the situation you are in now, the relationship between you and the four great families should not be very good."

Li Quan didn't hide anything, just nodded and admitted, "My relationship with the four great families is indeed very ordinary. After all, the city has changed hands. How can I, the city owner, have a good relationship with them."

Nie Feng said, "Then why did the Zhu family notify you?"

"Probably because we still have a common purpose so far."

Jun Luo and Fang Shuo looked at each other, and they almost understood what the common purpose was.

"The common purpose is to find out about the disappearance of the girl behind?"

The city lord nodded, "Yes, after all, there are people from the four great families among the missing people, so this time they don't want to meddle in their own business, and they have to find someone to investigate thoroughly for the safety of their own family."

Junluo Tuoji: "Then why don't they come to us directly? Why do you need to be the middleman?"

"Probably because they also know that I have clues that even they don't know about. We have distrusted each other for a long time, so naturally we will not hand over all the cards in our hands to each other.

So they are guarded and concealed from me, of course, I am the same to them. "

Speaking of this, Li Quan's face revealed a bit of shame again, "Speaking of which, I never thought of the disappearance of those Dongchen Island disciples, and we really have no choice but to ask you for help a second time." .”

Fang Shuo nodded, "About this matter, tell me what you know."

I don't know what Li Quan was thinking of, and couldn't help sighing again, "Just last night, two more women disappeared. Their family members found me this morning. I knew that group of evil spirits appeared again. gone."

"From what you said, it means that the kidnapping of the girl should not have happened for a while?"

Li Quan nodded, "It's a coincidence that during the time we asked you for help, no one really had an accident."

Nie Feng bit and said, "Another move to provoke Dongchen Island!"

What Jun Luo thought was more, "There has been no incident of kidnapping a girl for a long time... Do you think there is a possibility that they already need enough people."

Fang Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean, the other party may not simply rob for the sake of satisfying their own pleasure, but to achieve a certain purpose. The provocation is also done by them."

Jun Luo chuckled, "That's what it means." But there is one more thing, she is also very curious, if she remembers correctly, that person seems to want to take her away with her, but something happened halfway, making her The other party gave up on her...

Jun Luo thought for a while, but still didn't mention this matter. After all, there are already enough troubles now, and one more thing is just one more trouble for everyone. Instead of this, it is better not to say anything.

The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, maybe when all the mess is solved, you will know why you haven't been taken away.

Li Quan has been telling the whole story about the girl's disappearance case, but for Jun Luo and the others, most of the news is useless, because when they came, they learned most of the news through some vendors.

It wasn't until he mentioned the four great families that Jun Luo turned his eyes back to him again.

"There is one more thing, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

The corners of Nie Feng's lips twitched, "It's such a time, what else can you say."

"I always feel that the disappearance of the disciples of Dongchen Island may have something to do with the four great families..."

In Jun Luo's view, the case of the girl's disappearance and the disappearance of the disciples of Dongchen Island were both committed by the same group of people, but Li Quan's meaning seems to be different.

Nie Feng scratched his hair, feeling that things were a bit messy, "You mean that the disappearance of the girl and the disappearance of the disciples of Dongchen Island were done by two groups? After all, if it was done by the same group, then you are equivalent to telling me , The girl's disappearance is also the work of the four great families.

Your suspicion is also equivalent to telling us that the four great families want us to investigate themselves.Most importantly, the four great families would not arrest their own children for anything. "

Li Quan was taken aback, as if he was a little surprised by what Jun Luo and the others thought.

"How can this be done by the same group? I think it is obviously done by two groups."

Nie Feng knocked on the table, and looked at Li Quan suddenly became unfriendly, "I said, City Lord, your real purpose is not to use our hands to help you do something."
