MTL - I Am Invincible After Awakening the Superman Gene-Chapter 138 Chu's invitation
Chapter 138 Chu's Invitation
The next day, the sky was bright.
Qin Mo got up on time at six o'clock as usual, washed up and left the house, facing the most beautiful sun, towards the security bureau.
He didn't care whether Li Tiangang woke up or not, the biological clock was exactly the same as before, and there was no change because of his appearance.
While on the road, Qin Mo ate breakfast by the way, and walked into the office a bit stuck.
Afterwards, he sat in a familiar position, first tidied up the desk in front of him habitually, wiped it carefully with a wet paper towel, and then took a thermos cup to fetch a cup of hot water.
After completing these preparations before fishing, Qin Mo turned on the computer and logged in to the websites of major news media.
As soon as the website was opened, several popular reports immediately attracted his attention.
These fluttering reds are all major events that happened in various parts of the Great Qin Empire, including a small earthquake in a certain county last night, and the discovery of high-value mineral veins in a certain county, etc.
And the most news is the follow-up report on the border conflict.
The fighting between Qin and Qi is in full swing, and the war on the border has a faint tendency to intensify, so the heat can't last for a long time, and it has become the most talked about after dinner.
However, today's report is slightly different.
Among these a large number of border reports, there is quietly hidden a piece of news that is very unfavorable to the Xia family. The general content is the stain of a certain core member of the Xia family's political career in recent years.
This report is like a drop of water in the ocean. It is easy to ignore if you don’t look carefully, and it seems difficult to be noticed.
However, this drop of water is the first drop of water cast by the five masters.
It takes a certain amount of time to guide public opinion. People must be given sufficient time to react, and public opinion must be given sufficient time to ferment.
Qin Mo read the report carefully, and a faint smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"The millennium family is worthy of being a millennium family, and the efficiency of this work is enough to see the leopard from the inside, which can be seen."
He whispered, very satisfied with the efforts of the five great masters.
Presumably in the next period of time, Qin Mo will see a perfect public opinion battle.
Thinking in this way, he couldn't help but leaned against the back of the seat, crossed his hands behind his head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.
Bright sunlight shone on his face through the open floor-to-ceiling windows, and a slender shadow appeared in the office.
Boom boom boom!
Just at this time, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Mo turned his head to look, and said, "Come in."
The voice fell, the small door of the office was pushed open, and the tall Chu Tianjiao and the slender-legged Li Yuan walked in one after the other.
After the two saw Qin Mo, they didn't talk about it immediately, but chatted with him casually for a few minutes.
Afterwards, Chu Tianjiao raised his thick eyebrows, and then slowly explained the purpose of today's visit.
"Qin Mo, my father invited you to Chu's to have dinner together at night, do you have time tonight?"
"Huh? Duke Chu personally invited..."
Qin Mo murmured in a low voice, and at the same time, the super brain was running rapidly, and began to analyze and speculate on the purpose of Chuxiong's holding today's dinner based on the various information obtained in the past few days.
For Chu Xiong, his initial impression was good.
On the one hand, this is because he has a good relationship with Chu Tianjiao, so he can be called Chu Xiong's uncle. On the other hand, the Zhenbei Chu family once spoke for him at the court council that invited the title of champion.
He is also the only one of the four major families except the Li family in Qingyang who agrees with Qin Mo being named the champion.
Therefore, under the conditions of these prior favors, Qin Mo himself does not reject this dinner.
But there are some things that still need careful consideration.
"Is there anyone else at the dinner party today?" Qin Mo asked.
Hearing this, Chu Tianjiao immediately shook his head and replied, "Father is holding a private family banquet today, and no outsiders are invited."
"If that's the case, yes." Qin Mo agreed.
Seeing him nodding, Chu Tianjiao smiled, and then said: "Well, I'll let the family know in advance, and I'll wait for you in the underground parking lot after get off work in the afternoon."
"no problem."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Chu Tianjiao nodded slightly, then got up and strode out, closing the door behind him.
Qin Mo had a smile in his eyes, watching his back disappear before his eyes.
Now, he has met two of the contemporary Patriarchs of the Five Families, both of whom are excellent leaders.
And after tonight, he will meet three of them.
"I don't know what kind of personality Chu Xiong has." Qin Mo thought to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his head, but saw that Li Yuan was still sitting where he was, and did not leave.
"Leader, is there anything else you need?"
Qin Mo asked directly, without beating around the bush.
Hearing this, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, trembled suddenly, and suddenly woke up from the thought just now.
"Well...it's actually not a big deal, I just want to say thank you to you."
Li Yuan's voice was very low, far lower than her usual decibels, and she even lowered her head slightly to hide her ice-cold face.
This appearance is not her usual style.
Qin Mo was a little stunned, and asked suspiciously, "What is the team leader thanking you for?"
"Thank you for your hard work during this period of time. The Gaoling Xia family will soon be thrown into a place of eternal doom, and the attack on my father can be regarded as revenge."
Li Yuan raised his head this time, looked at Qin Mo solemnly, and said seriously.
Hearing this, Qin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands casually.
"What kind of thing is this? There is no need to say thank you? Not to mention that the Xia family and I have already formed a relationship, and I am doing something for myself.
Moreover, I am also very upset about Brother Li being attacked. Brother Li has a close relationship with me. He is not only the father of the team leader, but also my..."
Qin Mo suddenly stopped, and swallowed the last few words that had reached his throat.
He originally wanted to talk about Wangnian’s friendship, but after thinking about it, it seemed weird to say that in front of Li Yuan.
Li Mou is Li Yuan's father, but he calls Li Mou the older brother, but also calls Li Yuan the team leader. The two used to be in a superior-subordinate relationship, but now it's the other way around...
Hiss.
This seniority is really a little complicated.
Although they have their own opinions, but now that they are actually in front of Li Yuan, no matter how they look at it, it looks like Qin Mo is deliberately taking advantage of him.
Therefore, Qin Mo couldn't help but feel a little resentful. He hurriedly said haha, waved his hand and said:
"Anyway, that's what it means. You and I are close, so there's no need to see each other like this. A family doesn't talk about two things."
Li Yuan: "..."
Yes, this sounds even weirder.
The office suddenly fell into a weird and awkward atmosphere, and Qin Mo and Li Yuan didn't speak for a while.
Li Tiangang, who was sitting in the shadow of the corner, looked at the two of them, and couldn't help grinning, his eyes were extremely playful, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After a long time, it was Qin Mo who spoke first, breaking the embarrassment.
He did not continue the topic just now, but asked: "Leader, are you still renting a house outside by yourself?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head slowly.
"I have retired the house, and since my father was attacked, I have moved back to the manor.
The Li family cannot live without a master in the imperial capital. Now that my parents are away and will not come back in a short time, Li Mo and I need to take this responsibility.
Uncle Li told me that the two of us need to remain calm and calm, and sit in the manor castle, so that the rest of the Li family can clearly see that the backbone is there, and at the same time, this can also be seen by the other four.
I think what Uncle Li said was right, so I moved back. "
The Uncle Li she was talking about was none other than Qingyang Li's old housekeeper in the Imperial Manor.
The old butler has followed Li Mou in and out of high society for many years. Although he has never held a high position, his vision and experience are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
His arrangement can be said to be appropriate.
You must know that for aristocratic families, the importance of direct bloodlines can be imagined.
If something happened to Li Mou, and Li's power in the imperial capital was completely messed up, one can imagine what outsiders would think.
Only when the two are like now, can they show the temperament of the core children of a thousand-year-old family and show the attitude of ancient inheritance.
This is the responsibility and obligation brought by the blood. As long as the blood of Li Shi of Qingyang flows in the body, then there is no escape or escape.
Li Mou said this before, but Li Yuan didn't realize it deeply at that time.
As for today, it is different.
Her xinxing is gradually growing.
Qin Mo nodded and said, "It's good to go back to live, at least the castle is safer."
"Well, that's right." Li Yuan replied softly.
Afterwards, the two chatted casually, and Li Yuan left in a hurry, continuing to be busy with the matter at hand.
Qin Mo can do nothing in the Security Bureau, spend his whole day fishing and basking in the sun, and be a hands-off shopkeeper, but the people below can't.
Especially in the recent period, the imperial capital has not been peaceful, and chaos has arisen in many places. These are all under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau and need to be dealt with by various departments.
After Li Yuan left, the office returned to silence.
At this time, Li Tiangang suddenly stood up from the shadow in the corner, he pulled a chair to the floor-to-ceiling window, found a comfortable position with the second most sunlight, and Shi Shiran lay down.
"Should I say it or not, although few of the children of Li's generation have outstanding talents, they are all first-class in appearance. That girl just now looks pretty good."
Hearing this, Qin Mo turned his head slightly, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and said sullenly:
"What? Do you have an idea?"
Li Tiangang: "..."
His smiling face instantly turned black, and his forehead was covered with black lines.
"Fuck you, your dog can't spit out ivory, this girl has to call me Patriarch, what can I think?" Li Tiangang said angrily.
Obviously, he broke the defense.
Seeing this, Qin Mo couldn't help but smile.
It seems that the smile never disappeared, it just shifted.
His hands were crossed behind his head again, and he said leisurely: "Then why are you talking about this?"
"Heh, what are you pretending to be? You don't know what kind of virtue you are?"
Li Tiangang snorted coldly, and then continued: "I think that girl has a good personality, and she also has some interests in you, and you and Li Mou are Wangnian friends.
This is the so-called fat water not flowing to outsiders. Anyway, you two are about the same age, so you can just get married directly, and I will reluctantly be a matchmaker for you two. "
He obviously wanted to match the two of them, and he wanted to be a moon elder and hold a red line once.
As soon as Qin Mo heard his words, he tasted the hidden meaning and knew Li Tiangang's true intentions.
Old in the month? Pull the red line?
It's just a superficial disguise.
As a ninth-level S-level awakener, Li Tiangang certainly wouldn't be idle to do these things, and it wasn't for satisfying his bad taste.
The reason why I did this today is because of that reason...
Qin Mo's surname is Qin after all, not Li.
There is no bond between blood, people with a foreign surname are still people with a foreign surname no matter what.
But if it is combined with Li Yuan, the direct bloodline, it will be very different.
Qin Mo and Li Shi of Qingyang are almost bound as one.
Only in this way can Li Tiangang be 100% at ease.
However, this is not in line with Qin Mo's wishes.
He smiled slightly, without beating around the bush, and directly refused: "Old guy, don't waste your words, I have no intention of getting married for the time being, and I'm not a dazzled old man.
I can clearly see how Mrs. Li treats me, so I don't need to worry too much. "
Listening to these words, Li Tiangang fell into silence.
Although he and Qin Mo have only been together for a few days, he has a clear mind and probably knows what kind of temperament Qin Mo is.
Besides, a stunning and peerless genius will naturally not be restrained by a mere aristocratic family.
Eagle is supposed to soar above the nine heavens, how can there be any reason to stay in a corner?
Thinking of this, Li Tiangang's eyes gradually cleared up, and he exhaled a long breath.
"Phew... that's fine, I don't want to care about you if you like to marry or not."
"Hey, it's as if you are my elder."
"What's the matter? I have lived for more than two hundred years, so I can't be your elder once again? Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?" Li Tiangang raised his eyebrows and said in a trembling voice.
"Huh? Does respecting the elders include the old goblin?" Qin Mo asked doubtfully.
Li Tiangang: "???"
Suddenly, his breathing couldn't help becoming three points faster, the power in his body surged like the sea, and there was a faint sound of waves crashing on the shore.
It seems that he has never won in terms of fighting against Qin Mo.
This guy's poisonous tongue skill is far better than his own realm!
Li Tiangang was very depressed.
Seeing this, the smile on Qin Mo's brows became more intense.
"Speaking of which, old man, how did you find out that the team leader is interested in me?" He asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter? I know what that girl is thinking even with my eyes closed."
Li Tiangang said proudly, the black line on his forehead disappeared without a trace in an instant, and an inexplicable confidence suddenly emerged.
"Boy, when it comes to women, you are still a little too young. I have talked to more people than you have eaten. Learn more. Even if you only learn a little, it will be enough for you to benefit from for a lifetime."
As soon as this remark came out, Qin Mo's eyebrows trembled, and he looked at Li Tiangang in surprise, and carefully sized him up from head to toe.
Then, he shook his head and said:
"Hehe, I don't believe it."
"Hey, you know a hammer, I think I was romantic and suave back then..."
Li Tiangang talked eloquently, once again talking about his glorious love history.
Time passed quickly while the two were chatting, and soon it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
A warm current emerged from his chest silently, Qin Mo's mind moved slightly, his eyes focused on his eyes, and he opened the gene awakening panel.
Light energy points: 37 (freely assignable)
Qin Mo still followed the previous allocation plan, first assigning 4 points to each of the eight attributes, and then adding 1 point to vision, intelligence, strength, speed, and defense.
The huge warm current quickly dissipated to every corner of the body, and the scorching sun energy injected into every cell of Qin Mo, without missing a single one.
While feeling the various changes in his body, he looked at the brand-new attribute panel with an extremely strong smile on his face.
After today's allocation of light energy points, Qin Mo's eight attributes have all reached more than 200 points, which can be said to have crossed to a new level.
At the same time, a piece of information suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Enhancement: biological force field."
After the message flashed, Qin Mo only felt a little lighthearted all over his body.
He knew that the gravitational force on him was gradually decreasing under the action of the sun's energy.
It has been tested before that the enhancement of the biological force field is not a simple accumulation of heights, but a direct double increase.
In other words, Qin Mo's current flight limit height has suddenly become 8,000 meters!
This is not far from the troposphere. He only needs to strengthen it again, and he will be able to touch the troposphere.
As he said yesterday, every day, his strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Now that the biological force field is strengthened, it means that Qin Mo's speed will break through again on the original basis, with a sharper response and faster speed!
Five minutes later, the huge warm current disappeared like a tide, and I don't know where it went.
Qin Mo stood up from the chair, opened his arms, and stretched vigorously, stretching the muscles of his body.
Li Tiangang on the side didn't know that Qin Mo's strength had been strengthened again just under his nose.
He also stood up, glanced at the gradually sinking fiery red sun outside the window, and urged:
"Stop dawdling, kid, hurry up to Zhenbei Chu's."
Hearing this, Qin Mo nodded, and the two followed each other and took the elevator down to the first floor, heading towards the underground parking lot.
Chu Tianjiao had already been waiting here as agreed upon, and he was driving a silver off-road vehicle.
Li Tiangang glanced at it, then shook his head, and said:
"What kind of off-road do young people drive? The ultimate sports car is what should be pursued. Take my car tonight."
Hearing his words, Chu Tianjiao raised his thick eyebrows, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he turned to look at Qin Mo and asked:
"Who is this?"
"Don't worry about him, he's just a long-lived old thing." Qin Mo waved his hand and smiled.
Old stuff?
Chu Tianjiao repeated it secretly in his heart, and the depths of his eyes couldn't help showing curiosity.
You know, the strength of old things is basically not too low, and Li Tiangang looks about thirty years old, and he doesn't look old at all.
Then, it is very intriguing.
"Is this one going with you tonight?" He then asked.
Qin Mo nodded. He knew that it was impossible for Li Tiangang to let him go alone. His mission on this trip was to protect his own safety. When it comes to this aspect, he will definitely not slack off.
There is one thing to say, although Li Tiangang speaks a little more rudely, acts a little more out of tune, and likes to brag a little bit, but he does what he should do very well.
Of course, after a while, Qin Mo guessed that he would not need to protect him.
After Chu Tianjiao heard Qin Mo's words, the curiosity in the depths of his eyes became more and more intense.
He is very interested in Li Tiangang's real identity, but seeing the two of them like this, neither of them intends to take the initiative to say it.
Although Chu Tianjiao felt itchy with curiosity, he couldn't ask any further questions.
Afterwards, a group of three people got into Li Tiangang's luxury sports car and headed towards the private estate of the Chu family in Zhenbei in the imperial capital at a flying speed.
This journey can only be described as lightning fast.
Li Tiangang's car was driving very fast. He stepped on the accelerator almost all the way, without any slowdown at all.
Fortunately, his driving skills were not bad, and there was no accident along the way.
About fifteen minutes later, Chu's manor appeared in front of the three of them.
The sound of the roaring engine gradually stopped, and the three of them stepped out of the car, and Li Tiangang and Qin Mo entered it under the leadership of Chu Tianjiao.
This is the first time Qin Mo came to the private estate of the Chu family in Zhenbei. He looked around while walking with erratic eyes.
The layout of the manor is almost the same as that of other thousand-year-old families. There are excellent lawns on both sides, and every plant and tree is extremely precious. In the depth of the manor stands an old castle.
The architectural style of the castle obviously has an ancient atmosphere, and the scratches on the stone walls are the wind and frost left over from history.
This is not a modern building, at least it has existed for five hundred years.
At first, Qin Mo didn't think there was anything special about these manor castles. He thought that the five families were happy to live here just to show their ancient personality.
It wasn't until his hearing range was enough to cover the entire imperial capital that he realized that these castles seemed to have some kind of mysterious power that could hinder the investigation.
Obviously, the five masters were not chosen randomly.
In these ancient castles, there must be some dusty secrets in history.
Only the ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years can know why.
Qin Mo suppressed his thoughts and temporarily sealed up this point of doubt, leaving it to be explored slowly later.
He is not in a hurry, and things always have to be dealt with one by one.
The top priority right now is obviously to completely overthrow the Gaoling Xia Clan first, and let everything else go later.
Soon, the huge dark castle slowly came into Qin Mo's eyes.
Right at the gate of the ancient castle, stood a tall man with a burly figure and appearance that was seven points similar to Chu Tianjiao. This man was indeed Chu Xiong.
Qin Mo recognized his true identity at a glance.
After all, the thick eyebrows on Chu Xiong's face are too conspicuous, almost forming a straight line.
"Hahaha…"
Before the three of them approached, a burst of hearty laughter resounded loudly.
"Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting, and meeting is worse than being famous. I never thought that Guan Neihou would be such a handsome young man."
Chu Xiong stood with his hands behind his back, and said a wave of extremely polite words first.
Hearing this, Qin Mo immediately put on his iconic official smile, and replied: "I have admired Duke Chu for a long time, and it is really my luck to meet you today."
Speaking or not, Qin Mo is really proficient in speaking on the spot.
If people who don't know see this scene, they might think that these two people have been friends for a long time.
"The Marquis of Guannei is speaking seriously, so hurry in and say that the dinner party has already been prepared, and only the honored guests are seated."
"What kind of distinguished guest is it? Tianjiao and I are good friends, so we should call him uncle." Qin Mo smiled.
Hearing this, Chu Xiong laughed heartily again.
"Hahahaha, nephew, don't want to see outsiders. When you come to the Chu family, it's like you're at your own home. Be more casual."
The two of them walked towards the castle while talking, and the relationship seemed to have become much closer in these few words.
At least... it seems so on the surface.
Afterwards, several people sat down one after another, and the butler gave the servants a wink to start serving the dishes.
Chu Xiong naturally sat at the main seat. Only then did he temporarily turn his attention away from Qin Mo and look around the long table.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but he was shocked when he saw it.
When Chu Xiong's eyes were on Li Tiangang's body, his body stopped immediately, his brows were furrowed, his thick eyebrows moved back and forth, and his eyelids couldn't stop twitching.
Chu Xiong almost thought that he had misunderstood the wrong person.
But when he blinked and looked carefully again, Li Tiangang's face gradually overlapped with a certain figure in his heart, no matter the facial outline or the details of facial features, they were all exactly the same!
Hiss!
Chu Xiong took a deep breath in his heart, he was dumbfounded.
Chu Tianjiao didn't know Li Tiangang, but he did. Although he had only seen the photos, it didn't affect his identification now.
He never expected that such a great **** would appear at the family banquet tonight.
Such a sudden change made him a little bit at a loss for a while.
But after all, Chu Xiong is the current head of the Chu family in Zhenbei, and he is a person who has seen the world.
Although Li Tiangang's sudden appearance really surprised him, he still adjusted his thoughts almost instantly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a clatter, and the chair that hadn't been warmed by the **** was pushed away by him.
Chu Xiong stood up suddenly, facing Li Tiangang, with respectful eyebrows and eyes, and asked cautiously:
"Why are you here?"
In an instant, all eyes in the banquet hall turned to Li Tiangang.
Except for Qin Mo, the rest of the people were shocked, secretly guessing Li Tiangang's identity.
Can make Chuxiong show such a posture, who is he?
At this time, Li Tiangang, who was gathering everyone's attention, didn't feel any pressure at all.
He sat safely on the chair, casually picked up a small pre-dinner appetizer pastry, threw it into his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and then looked up at Chuxiong.
"Why, I can't come? Someone else can come to this broken castle of your Chu family, but I can't come?"
A simple sentence reveals unparalleled arrogance and domineering.
The entire banquet hall fell into silence for an instant, and a needle could be heard, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
No one could have imagined that Li Tiangang was so arrogant and bold.
However, Chu Xiong's next reaction made everyone clearly know what kind of status Li Tiangang possessed.
"You can come if you want, but I didn't inform you in advance, and I didn't make any preparations, so I made you laugh."
"Your boy respects the old and loves the young, unlike some people..."
Li Tiangang seemed to have something to say, then he waved his hand and said:
"Okay, there is no need to prepare or not, just talk about yours, just pretend that I don't exist."
"Understood, it's just that Patriarch Hanyue misses you very much. Over the years, he has often talked about..." Chu Xiong said slowly.
Hearing the name Han Yue, Li Tiangang's eyes instantly flashed with panic.
He coughed lightly at first, then his expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "You kid, please don't reveal the news that I'm here, otherwise...
Humph, you get the idea. "
His threat is almost written on his forehead.
Qin Mo was taken aback by him, he really didn't expect Li Tiangang to be so bold, blatantly threatening the head of the Chu family in the Chu family's territory in Zhenbei.
However, Chu Xiong didn't feel anything, didn't feel angry at all, instead he nodded his head to make sure he wouldn't say anything.
Qin Mo looked at the two of them like this, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself:
"The ancestor Hanyue of the Chu family in Zhenbei has an unusual relationship with this old man Li Tiangang. Could it be that..."
A bold idea quietly emerged in Qin Mo's heart, and the way he looked at Li Tiangang became weird.
But now is obviously not the time to delve into it in detail, so Qin Mo has no choice but to keep his burning heart of gossip in the bottom of his heart for the time being, and wait until the dinner party is over.
Of course, this is just a small episode.
After receiving Li Tiangang's solemn instructions, Chu Xiong sat back on the chair again.
Immediately afterwards, one after another carefully prepared dishes were brought to the table by the servants of the castle.
Only Chu Xiong and his son, Qin Mo, and Li Tiangang sat around the long table. The wife of the Duke of the Chu family did not show up, and it is not known whether she is not in the imperial capital.
But all in all, this private banquet of the Zhenbei Chu family.
From now on, the official start.
