At this moment, Mourong Die was wearing loose home clothes, but it still couldn't hide her beauty and temperament.
Mourong Hong saw his daughter, an even stronger smile on his face.
And Wang An quietly put down his hand, while Liu Yi also turned his head.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly eased a lot.
Liu Yi quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
Honestly, facing a gun...Liu Yi didn't have the courage for it.
It's best not to fight...
"What are you guys talking about?"
Murong Die was surprised that her father would actually come out to talk to Liu Yi personally. She thought her dad wouldn't bother to come out to see Liu Yi at all.
"Nothing important, just chatting casually."
Murong Hong chuckled, "But you'd better call Lele back. She's called home over a hundred times today."
"Ah! Right! How could I forget about that girl!"
Murong Die was shocked and quickly said, "Liu Yi, just wait for me, I'll go upstairs and call Lele!"
With that, she hurriedly went upstairs.
"In fact, there's no need to be too nervous."
After Murong Die's figure completely disappeared, Murong Hong turned around and said to Liu Yi.
"Your family background is actually quite easy to find out, doesn't take much effort at all. I'm doing this out of a desire to protect my daughter. I think, if one day you also have a daughter, you would do the same."
With that, Murong Hong puffed on his high-end and elegant pipe and said, "You see, I, Murong Hong, only have this daughter. Her mother died early, so basically I raised her by myself. In my heart, this girl is my treasure. She has always listened to me from childhood to adulthood. But I found that recently she's been a bit rebellious, even starting to challenge me as her father."
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Yi, "Today, I was originally going to take her to attend a high-class gathering, but she refused and sneaked out... it's said that she went to the movies with you, right."
His gaze fell on Liu Yi's clothing, a hint of jealousy and disdain flashed in his eyes.
"And you even bought matching outfits with her?"
"Uncle, I think you've misunderstood."
Liu Yi felt like he understood something, "Murong Die and I are just good friends. As for your affection for your daughter, that's your own business, please don't affect my family and life."
"But young friend, you have already affected my family and life."
Murong Hong tapped his pipe and said, "I, Murong Hong, have been in the business world for many years, I still carry some weight in this Beilong City. Truth be told, I can control the economy of this Beilong City, but the one thing I can't control is my daughter."
After speaking, he squinted slightly and stared at Liu Yi.
"Young friend, perhaps you also want to experience the feeling of someone in my social class. If you want, I can help you. However, please don't do it through my daughter."
Liu Yi felt somewhat annoyed.
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
Murong Hong did not directly answer, but pointed to his own house.
"Have you seen this house? It's beautiful, right?"
"Beautiful."
"Do you like it?"
"No, I don't like it."
"Oh?"
Murong Hong was slightly surprised.
"Why don't you like it? You can have everything here, beautiful maids serving you, professional bodyguards protecting you. Here, you can live like an emperor."
"Because it's cold here."
"Cold? How is that possible, the heating here is very good, with intelligent temperature control."
"Uncle, what I mean is, there's no vitality in this house."
Liu Yi clenched his fist and sneered, "In this house, I only smell the scent of hypocrisy and mediocrity."
Murong Hong's face stiffened, after a long time, he smiled.
"Young friend, I detect a hint of sarcasm in your words, are you mocking me, Murong Hong?"
As he spoke, a captivating light flashed behind his small eyes.
But this time, Liu Yi was not moved.
Two internal forces silently circulated in his body, as his grandfather had said, with righteousness in your heart, there is nothing to fear.
Even if Murong Hong is the underground king of Beilong City, what does it have to do with me!
"Uncle, you're overthinking it."
Liu Yi continued, "What you like doesn't mean I must like it. I understand what you meant just now, you think I want to become the son-in-law of the Murong family through your daughter, and then enjoy this luxurious life. Let me tell you, you're wrong."
With that, Liu Yi gestured around.
"Although this house is big, it's nothing more than a cage. I originally thought that someone like Murong Die, a wealthy young lady, would live a much better life than me, a small character. But after hearing what you just said, Uncle, I understand now, Murong Die is very pitiful, really, very pitiful, and I sympathize with her."
"You sympathize with my daughter?"
Murong Hong's restraint couldn't help but say, "Do you have the qualifications?"
"Qualifications? If we're talking about the value, then I have the qualifications."
Liu Yi stood up from the sofa, and arrogantly said, "Compared to money, the value of freedom is even more precious! Murong Uncle, it's been unpleasant to meet you, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."
With that, he turned and walked towards the doorway.
Several bodyguards immediately wanted to stop him, but were stopped by Murong Hong.
"Let him go, he indeed doesn't belong here."
Murong Hong looked at Liu Yi's departing figure, his eyes shining with keenness.
"This kid is quite courageous," Wang An couldn't help but say.
"Hehe…everyone has their price," Murong Hong sat on the sofa, and said with a faint smile, "I've been in the business world for so many years, and I've seen all kinds of people. I've seen many people like Liu Yi, who start off being stubborn. If I offered him a price to destroy him, he would lose his integrity."
"Do you mean…” Wang An began.
"I think we will meet again," Murong Hong said with a meaningful smile.
Wang An was slightly regretful in his heart. This kid has provoked the master...he's in for trouble.
"Liu Yi, come for dinner at our home tonight! Our family's chef is quite skilled!"
Murong Die ran down from the second floor, but was taken aback when she saw only her father and Wang An in the hall.
"Where's Liu Yi?" she asked.
"Oh, heh, your classmate had something to do and left first," Murong Hong said.
"Oh...," Murong Die felt a bit disappointed. Liu Yi, this guy...can't he stay a little longer?
Seeing his daughter's disappointment, Murong Hong couldn't help but tighten his pipe, but quickly relaxed and said slowly.
"Little Die, don't run around outside in the future. Even if you want to go out, make sure to have Wang An with you. I can't rest assured if you're alone."
"Got it," Murong Die responded blankly.
"You were in serious danger today. If Wang An was there, how could so many people have chased you?"
"If it weren't for Liu Yi today, I would have been in a terrible situation," Murong Die quickly spoke up for Liu Yi, "He even got stabbed for me!"
"Today's incident has nothing to do with you," Murong Hong waved his hand and said, "I have investigated. It was the Black Dragon Gang that acted, and they were after Liu Yi."
"They were after Liu Yi? Not kidnappers?" Murong Die was suddenly shocked, "That's not right, with Liu Yi's personality, how could he conflict with the underworld..."
"Daughter, people are not always what they seem," Murong Hong said, "Although I have said that I won't interfere in your personal life before the age of 22, you should be cautious in making friends. It will save me from worrying."
"Liu Yi is fine," Murong Die said firmly.
"Why, not listening to me anymore?" Murong Hong asked.
"Oh, you said you wouldn't interfere in my life before I turn 22! No matter what, Liu Yi is my friend! I don't like it when you talk about him like this!"
With that, Murong Die turned and went upstairs.
"Little Die..." Murong Hong called out twice, but Murong Die ignored him and quickly disappeared.
"Wang An, did you see that?" Murong Hong sighed, "All because of this Liu Yi, Little Die has changed. She never talked back to me before, look at her now!"
Wang An stood silently on the side, saying nothing.
"No, Liu Yi is indeed a dangerous time bomb. Wang An, did you find out why the Black Dragon Gang targeted Liu Yi?"
"I did investigate, it seems that it was the new hall leader of the Black Dragon Gang, Mai Wei, who made the move."
"Mai Wei?" Murong Hong frowned slightly, "I haven't heard of this name before..."
"I have seen him," Wang An recalled, "When I was looking for that Kevin for Miss, I encountered him. He was targeting Liu Yi at the time, but because I was fighting with Liu Yi, I ended up taking care of him. At that time, he was just a little thug."
"I see." Hearing that his subordinate had dealt with the current leader of the Black Dragon Gang, Murong Hong didn't take it to heart at all.
The Black Dragon Gang is the underworld, but he is also part of the legitimate world.
The Black Dragon Gang not only poses no threat to themselves, but sometimes even flatters them. Nowadays, the righteous path is the way to go. Those gangsters from the underworld will have to work hard to clean up their image in the end. Otherwise, even if they are very powerful, their ultimate fate will be nothing short of tragic. "What's troubling this little thug and Liu Yi?" "If I'm not mistaken, it's also because of Miss." Wang An used to be in the police force, in the criminal investigation department. He was once known as the king of solving cases; he has retired now, but his mind still works very well. "Oh? Is it related to Xiaodie?" "Yes... I've had people investigate, and it turns out the young master of the Lan family has some connection with this Ma Wei... and you know about the young master of the Lan family, sir." "I understand." Murong Hong nodded, a hint of a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "These people from the Lan family... actually risked putting my Xiaodie in danger for personal revenge... they and Liu Yi, both deserve to die."
