When he entered the living room, he saw Zhou Luduan sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a book.

Ling Peng was stunned for a moment, feeling familiar, but he did not recognize Zhou Lu as a strong man with a black mask.

Because before Zhou Lu came, he changed out of the clothes he wore during the competition.

When visiting your "girlfriend's" house, you need to dress neatly, which is also Xi Qi's request.

Ling Peng put the gift on the table, found a chair and sat down, looking at Zhou Lu with his eyes.

Xi Qi did not introduce Zhou Lu's identity, but from Xi Qi's demeanor, Ling Peng could guess a bit.

Feeling Ling Peng's unfriendly gaze, Zhou Lu raised his head and glared at him without any sign of weakness.

As soon as the two met, they stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xi Qi felt her scalp numb. She had no intention of letting Zhou Lu encounter this situation. Zhou Lu's main role was to deal with his family.

As long as the family does not object to dating Zhou Lu, they will naturally not support Ling Peng's pursuit.

But since they were facing each other, they had no choice but to face each other. Xi Qi sighed in her heart and walked towards Zhou Lu and Ling Peng who were in the confrontation.

Zhou Lu said without looking back: "Honey, we have guests coming, go to the kitchen and make a cup of good tea."

As soon as these words came out, both Xi Qi and Ling Peng were startled.

Ling Peng's expression changed and he looked at Xi Qi, wanting to see her reaction.

Zhou Lu’s words contain a lot of information.

It is equivalent to directly identifying oneself, treating the Xi family as one's own, calling Xi Qi "baby", and directing Xi Qi to do things, which shows that the relationship has reached a certain level.

"Oh well."

Xi Qi hesitated for a moment, then obeyed and turned towards the kitchen.

Xi Qi walked into the kitchen and saw Zhou Anqing standing in the door, paying attention to what was going on outside, as if he was surprised that Zhou Lu said this.

In the living room.

After Xi Qi left, there was a moment of silence.

Ling Peng observed Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu continued to read, his eyes calm and careless, but his deep black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Since Xi Qi left, Ling Peng no longer acted gentle. He had a gloomy face and was full of hostility, like a fighting cock fluttering its feathers and getting ready for a fight.

He cast his unruly eyes on Zhou Lu and looked at him carefully from top to bottom.

Ling Peng couldn't help but asked: "Who are you?"

"Sure enough, it's so hypocritical. Your brother Ling Qiwei has obviously told you. You must know who I am, but you still ask questions knowingly." Zhou Lu smiled casually and revealed it bluntly.

"I just want to confirm it again."

Ling Peng's thoughts were revealed, and his face looked very unnatural.

He wanted to get angry, but he looked in the direction of the kitchen and held back.

Zhou Lu ignored him and continued reading.

Ling Peng asked arrogantly: "I checked you. Your name is Zhou Lu. You are just an orphan in Jiangcheng. You have become a rich man and have a little money. Why do you want to be the enemy of my Ling family? Oh, I heard that you are quite good at fighting, but

Have you heard who I am?"

"I've beaten your brother and I can't take it back." Zhou Lu said calmly.

"I'm not talking about my brother today, I'm talking about you taking away my woman."

Ling Peng's eyes flashed, and his aura enveloped Zhou Lu with an intimidating force.

Zhou Lu said slowly: "Xi Qi didn't agree to date you at all, how could he snatch her away?"

"I don't care about that. Anyway, you can't associate with Xi Qi, otherwise you will become the enemy of my Ling family! Go and ask outside, can you afford to offend me, Ling Peng? Can you afford to offend my Ling family? Me

Tell me, if you make me angry, the Xi family won’t be able to protect you!"

Another threat.

Two brothers share the same virtue.

"That's up to you." Zhou Lu was too lazy to say any more.

Ling Peng softened his tone: "So, what do you want? Money, official position? As long as you ask, I guarantee that I can get it for you."

here we go again.

This routine has a familiar flavor.

Either coercion followed by inducement, or inducement followed by coercion.

The most commonly used routine throughout the ages.

It was obvious that Ling Peng's inducement was poisonous. If he was tempted to speak out and happened to lie, Ling Peng would take advantage of this stain.

It's really insidious!

Although Xi Qi is very nervous, she feels that she is very accurate.

The corner of Zhou Lu's mouth curled up: "Is it so good?"

"Don't worry, I, Ling Peng, do what I say. In addition to material wealth, if you want beautiful women, I can also help you. You can choose models or actresses."

"Sounds good."

Zhou Lu curled his lips.

Ling Peng's eyes were filled with joy, thinking that Zhou Lu was interested, and his heart became excited.

He wanted to strike while the iron was hot: "Of course, as long as you give us this face and we make you our friend, you can come to me if you need anything. There is nothing in China that my Ling family cannot handle."

"I have something to do now." Zhou Lu said calmly.

"Okay, tell me." Ling Peng was full of expectations.

Zhou Lu smiled faintly, showed his white teeth, and said firmly: "I hope you will never pester Xi Qi!"

"you!"

Ling Peng's face changed drastically, his breathing stagnated, and his whole body trembled with anger.

Only then did he realize that Zhou Lu had been teasing him.

Ling Peng suppressed the idea of ​​attacking Zhou Lu, but he could not suppress the murderous look in his eyes.

He said bitterly: "Very good! You are so crazy and dragging, Zhou Lu! I remember your name!"

Zhou Lu yawned and responded indifferently: "I advise you not to mention my name casually, otherwise your Ling family will not be able to protect you."

Zhou Lu responded to what Ling Peng had just said.

To Ling Peng's ears, it was an arrogant contempt and insult.

Ling Peng was immediately furious. If he hadn't been at the Xi family, he would have taken action long ago.

"You...you don't know how to live or die! If you dare to step out of Xi's house, I will..." Ling Peng pointed at Zhou Lu's nose with his finger, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Then let's go, stop talking nonsense and let's have a fight!"

Zhou Lu interrupted Ling Peng, stood up and walked towards the door. He walked directly out of the gate of Xi's courtyard, not only half a step out of Xi's house.

Anyway, he and Ling Peng will have a duel tomorrow, so it would be a good choice to do it in advance.

Ling Peng was stunned, his livid face became more and more distorted, his teeth clenched loudly, his body trembled violently, and he was furious.

He couldn't bear it any longer, even though he wanted to maintain a gentle and humble gentlemanly manner in front of the Xi family.

Ling Peng stared at Zhou Lu's back and followed him out step by step.

There is a small flat area in front of Xi's house.

This looks like an ordinary residential area, but Ling Peng knows that those who can live in this area are not ordinary families.

There are civilian-clothed elites patrolling the perimeter 24 hours a day, and they are closely guarded in secret.

High-definition night vision cameras and high-tech monitoring equipment can detect people entering and items carried by vehicles.

Once strangers and unfamiliar vehicles enter the warning range, they will immediately be under strict surveillance.

When Zhou Lu came in, Xi Qi led the way. His identity had been verified and he was not considered a stranger.

Just now, Ling Peng was so angry that he couldn't vent it out. He was so panic-stricken that he blurted out harsh words without even thinking.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lu responded to his threats and provocations, followed his words, proposed a duel, and walked out of the Xi family gate first.

When Xi Qi and Zhou Anqing heard this, they looked at each other.
