Chapter 2383: Not showing up? Are you sure?
"what?!"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Li Meng was stunned, his face full of confusion.
He thought the previous request was reasonable and there was no problem with it and it could be met.
However, if Ling Tian does not show up, cooperation with the Tan family will be more difficult.
It is absolutely impossible for the Tan family to simply cooperate with the Li family.
After all, the two families combined are no match for the Wang family, and neither of these two families has the ability to overwhelmingly defeat the Wang family.
Therefore, if Ling Tian does not show up, the Tan family will not know Ling Tian’s true strength, and then... they naturally will not think about cooperating with the Li family.
In this way, the cooperation between the two families may fall through.
So when Li Meng heard Ling Tian's words, he seemed a little nervous and said hurriedly: "Little friend Ling, if you don't show up with the Tan family, they might..."
"Do you think I need to show up?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows.
Li Meng nodded. "Indeed, it is necessary. After all, you know that the entire Li family's combat power is indeed not strong. If the Tan family wants to cooperate, there must be a reason to attract them. And you, my friend, are the one who can convince the Tan family."
"But if you don't show up, the Tan family will refuse to cooperate, and I... probably won't be able to make the Tan family trust me. What happens next... I believe you can guess."
Hearing this, Ling Tian frowned slightly and looked at Li Meng without speaking in a hurry.
Initially, Ling Tian thought that the Li family and the Tan family were, after all, the second and third families. If the two families cooperated, they would definitely be able to bring the Wang family down from its pedestal.
But now it seems that the Wang family has a great deterrent effect on this family. Unexpectedly, these two families dare not cooperate to fight against the Wang family.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "But I can't show up for now. As you know, the Wang family is looking for me. I must disappear from their surveillance. Otherwise, they will definitely find my location, and then... a fierce battle will come early."
"This one……"
Li Meng knew that Ling Tian was right, and that his concerns were not unreasonable.
But Li Meng felt that if Ling Tian didn’t show up, how could the cooperation with the Tan family be promoted?
You can't ask them to cooperate, right?
Although he might be replaced by other families at any time, he is still one of the top three families now. Facing the Tan family, he would feel a little arrogant. It is indeed against the rules to ask him to beg for cooperation.
Li Meng frowned and thought for a long time before sighing, "Then I can only try. I can't guarantee cooperation with the Tan family."
"That's no problem. If they don't want to cooperate, then forget it. We'll face the Wang family on our own. Believe me, no matter how powerful the Wang family is, in the face of absolute strength... they have no hope."
Ling Tian's confident words and expression made Li Meng open his mouth, but in the end he could only nod and agree.
He still trusted Ling Tian, but seeing how overconfident he was, he was afraid something might happen.
If the Li family cooperates with Ling Tian and ultimately fails to bring the Wang family down from its highest peak, then the entire Li family will become a thorn in the Wang family's side and will probably be wiped out.
Therefore, Li Meng was still a little hesitant to trust Ling Tian too much and began to think about some ways out.
Even if Ling Tian and the Li family are completely defeated in the end, they will still have a way out and be able to leave Weicheng. At that time, it will at least be better than waiting to die.
Li Meng looked up at Ling Tian and said, "Little friend Ling, can I help you find someone to clean up the old house?"
"No need. Just take Du Yanhao and me there. As for the rest... just ignore us. We'll clean up and tidy up the place ourselves. After all, it's an old house, and I hope as few people know about it as possible."
"Row."
Li Meng nodded and agreed to Ling Tian's proposal.
After that, the two left the study and when they went downstairs, they found Du Yanhao walking in from outside.
"Brother Ling, Patriarch Li!"
Seeing Du Yanhao's polite attitude, Li Meng smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Not bad, I have always hoped that I could have a better son. You are quite suitable. During this period, you and Ling Tian should go out for a while. When you come back, we can have a good chat."
After hearing this, Li Meng thought Du Yanhao would jump up with joy.
Unexpectedly, he looked calm and looked at Ling Tian, as if asking for his opinion.
Seeing this scene, Du Yanhao could only smile bitterly, then waved his hand and walked out.
After Li Meng left, Ling Tiancai looked at Du Yanhao and said, "You seem...excited? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Not really." Du Yanhao shook his head. "I just feel happy to be able to live in such a developed Weicheng and stay in such a big family."
Hearing this, Ling Tian pulled him to sit on the sofa and said softly, "You are very happy now, so would you like to bring your eldest brother over?"
"Do not want to."
"Oh?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow, a subtle flash of displeasure in his eyes. "Why? Isn't he your brother? Don't you want him to be happy?"
"I also hope he can be happy, but Brother Ling doesn't know that my brother is too indecisive and a little too kind. He is not suitable here."
"Why is it inappropriate?" The displeasure in Ling Tian's eyes faded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "Tell me about it."
"Actually, my eldest brother is indeed suitable to be a leader, but he is very kind and wants to save everyone. He never makes malicious assumptions about others and is always easily hurt by his kindness. If he came here, he would definitely feel comfortable, but he would not be able to survive."
"Brother Ling, I can see that Weicheng is actually far from being as simple as it seems. I know many people think that Weicheng is very safe, but I don't think so. I always feel that the atmosphere in this city is very strange, as if... a struggle may break out at any time."
Du Yanhao started analyzing seriously.
After listening to this, Ling Tian felt a little more admiration for Du Yanhao.
The feeling Du Yanhao gave Ling Tian was similar to that of Lin Qi.
I just don't know if he will be as loyal as Lin Qi.
Ling Tian hesitated for a moment before looking up at Du Yanhao and asked, "What would you do if you were the leader of those people in Jincheng?"
"It's simple. A test, a compliance test. Since I'm the city lord, I have to ensure that within this small circle, my words are unconditional and unconditional. You can question me and give your reasons, but you can't just say no without a clear reason."
"That's right!" Ling Tian was somewhat satisfied with the answer. "Then let me ask you something. What if there is someone stronger than you in Jincheng? If his strength is stronger than yours, what will you do?"
"It's very simple!" Du Yanhao smiled confidently. "Let him be above everyone else and second only to one person. I'll only be responsible for giving advice, and he... will be responsible for execution!"
