Chapter 13 Conspiracy (Third Update)
"The master of the house" Foreign Affairs Manager Lin Tong said first.
But was interrupted by Lin Yun Tian: "Uncle Tong, everyone says it's enough to call me Cloud Sky, we're all not outsiders, why be so polite."
Lin Tong smiled: "Never mind, we can't break the rules."
"Alas!" Lin Yun Tian let out a helpless sigh.
"Only seven days are left, and the county's grand competition is about to begin. However, at this critical moment, the three main players from our Luoyang City team have fallen ill or injured due to various reasons. I think this is absolutely not a coincidence."
"Yes, Master Lin, over the years, our three major families in Luoyang City have developed rapidly, and many young talents have emerged one after another. Especially with Wang Meng, the Iron Man of the Wang family, Song Zhen, the Cloud Swallow of the Song family, and our own Lin Hai, the Young Master of the Lin family. These three are the leaders of our Luoyang City's younger generation, representing us in this year's inter-county competition, and it is highly likely that we can break into the top three for the first time!" Lin Cheng sighed.
But then the tone suddenly changed, revealing a biting anger: "Just as the big competition was about to begin, Wang Meng was severely injured and it's uncertain whether he can recover his strength after recovering. Song Zhen fell from the stairs at home and suffered a severe head injury, still unconscious until now. You know why Song Zhen is called Cloud Swallow? It's because of his incredible lightness and agility, how could he fall from the stairs? Now only Lin Hai is left unscathed, but with two of the three great masters gone, Lin Hai seems to be in a bit of a precarious situation."
"It's hard to accept that this is just a coincidence, an accident." Lin Yun Tian rubbed his forehead and said in a low tone.
"Hmph, this is no coincidence. This is a conspiracy against our Luocheng City." Wang Jiawei angrily shouted: "It must be other cities that see the strength of our Luocheng City and are afraid of being defeated by us in the Grand Competition, so they are doing some despicable things before the Grand Competition to weaken the combat power of our Luocheng City."
"Jia Wei, keep your voice down, we can hear you just fine. You're shouting so loudly it's giving me a headache." Lin Cheng, the person in charge of internal affairs, rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "This Wang Jia Wei is always like this, wherever he goes."
"Uh, I'm also outraged by this shameless behavior." Wang Jiawei said with embarrassment.
"Who isn't angry? The key is to find evidence. Otherwise, no matter how angry we are, it's all in vain." Lin Tong sighed deeply.
"If someone dares to do such things, they won't easily leave behind evidence that we can catch. The city of Luoyang is heavily guarded, and the three major families live within the inner city. If the other party could harm the royal family and the Song family first, then it's possible that next time it will be our Lin family's turn. Moreover, I suspect... within our own Lin family..." Lin Yun Tian's face turned gloomy, and he didn't continue speaking.
"Master of the house, I have already instructed Lin Hai not to go out casually, lest there be any trouble." said Lin Tong.
"Staying at the Lin's house doesn't necessarily mean safety, didn't Song Zhen also encounter an accident at home? The City Lord has already given orders to have all participants of the county competition stay at the City Lord's manor and depart together on the day of the competition. The City Lord's manor is the safest place." Lin Yun Tian said.
"Alright then, I'll arrange it in a moment. I will personally escort Lin Hai to the City Master's mansion," said Lin Tong.
"It's okay, Tong Shu, let's go together. Cheng Shu, you come too. The City Lord has summoned the three major families to meet at the City Lord's mansion. The City Lord must have also sensed something."
"Alright!" "Mm-hmm", Lin Tong and Lin Cheng said simultaneously.
"Jiawei, as for you, just stay in the mansion and protect the others. That Qin Cang also needs to be more careful." Lin Yun Tian said to Wang Jia Wei.
"Don't worry, master, I'll keep a close eye on that kid." Wang Jiawei said with his hands clasped together in respect.
"Alright, Uncle Tong and Uncle Cheng, let's set off immediately." Lin Yun Tian shouted to Lin Tong and Lin Cheng, and then walked out of the conference hall.
"You stinky brat, wanting to get into our Lin Manor? It's not that easy." Wang Jiawei said harshly, his heart still remembering Qin Cang's venomous words that made him feel uneasy.
Qin Lang was completely unaware of all this. At this moment, he was lying on the bed, rolling back and forth like a dog scratching itself on the ground.
"Wah wah wah, I, Qin Lang, have lived for so many years and never slept so comfortably. This bed is so soft!" Having been used to sleeping on hard boards and under bridges, at this moment he finally lay down on a soft big bed, and his entire body relaxed.
"I'm not getting up, I'm not getting up. I want to sleep for three days and three nights first. Who made me get up?" Qin Lang shouted loudly in his heart.
Just then, a voice outside the room called out: "Young Master Qin, dinner is about to begin. The young mistress has asked me to bring you to the dining hall."
As soon as he heard that the dinner party was about to begin, Qin Lang jumped up like a grasshopper.
"Dinner!!!!" Qin Lang's saliva flowed out again, almost dropping onto the bed he considered his life, fortunately Qin Lang reacted quickly and stretched out his hand to catch that saliva.
"Oh my, I'm too laid back, this little temptation is unbearable. But I'll go eat dinner first, my lovely big bed, I'll be right back. Hahaha... Qin Lang burst out laughing, in this grand Lin family, eating dinner here is absolutely more enjoyable than having a tyrant's meal at that wine tower."
"I'm here, I'm here." Qin Lang jumped off the bed and opened the door to say to the maid.
"Hehe" The maid saw Qin Lang and covered her mouth with a light smile, "Young Master Qin, please follow me."
Looking at the maid, Qin Lang couldn't help but praise: "No wonder it's a big family, even the maids are more beautiful than those in the Yingchun Building."
Followed the maid through several corridors, finally arrived at the dining hall.
The Lin family has many members, so even an ordinary dinner is a grand feast.
The restaurant was over 30 feet long and more than 20 feet wide. In the middle of the restaurant, a long table of about 15-18 feet was set up. The table was already filled with people, but there were still several empty seats at the head of the table. On the table, all sorts of rare delicacies that Qin Lang had never seen before were arranged in an orderly manner. Around the table, some maidservants were constantly coming and going, serving dishes to the guests.
Qin Lang had never seen such a grand scene in his life. The most luxurious meal he had ever had was ordering a chicken, a duck, a fish and a pig's trotter in a restaurant, and then running away after finishing the meal.
Looking at this full table of dishes today, Qin Lang couldn't help but be moved to tears.
"Finally, no need to run after finishing a big meal!"
