"Qingyao, what's going on?" Lu Chen frowned slightly.
"It's like this. Yesterday I went to Li's house in Jiangbei to check on my uncle's condition. When I came back this morning, I was robbed and killed on the way. Fortunately, a general passed by and saved us." Li Qingyao explained.
"Why didn't you tell me when you went to Jiangbei? At least I could send someone to protect you." Lu Chen was a little unhappy.
"I brought a few bodyguards with me, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Li Qingyao was a little helpless.
If it was just an ordinary conflict, a few bodyguards would be enough to handle it.
But if it's intentional murder, that's obviously not enough.
"Do you know who did it?" Lu Chen asked.
"It's not clear yet." Li Qingyao shook her head.
"It's such a coincidence that you were assassinated just after you went to Jiangbei to see the old patriarch when you came back. If I guessed correctly, this matter should be related to the Li family." Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Li family?" Li Qingyao frowned slightly: "No way?"
"You are now the largest shareholder of the Li Group and the heir appointed by the old patriarch. Many people in the Li family are eyeing you. It is not impossible to do such an extreme thing." Lu Chen analyzed.
With Li Qingyao's current status, he will inevitably suffer from jealousy.
As long as something happens to her, the rest of the Li family will have a chance to take over.
A wealthy family, interests come first.
Family ties and such are not worth mentioning at all.
"Cousin, Lu Chen is right, this matter was done by the Li family!" Tan Hong was a little aggrieved.
"How dare these damn guys hurt my daughter? I must settle the score with them!" Zhang Cuihua said bitterly.
"It's empty talk. Before you find any evidence, it's best not to make random speculations to avoid being sown." Li Qingyao said thoughtfully.
Although she had some doubts, it was just doubts.
Without substantial evidence, anything you say is useless.
"I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and give you justice." Lu Chen promised.
"Don't rush the investigation now, I have something more important to do."
Li Qingyao said with a serious face: "Yesterday, I went to a famous doctor to see my uncle. The doctor said that in order for my uncle to wake up, he must find a top-quality ginseng to use as a medicine. Only then can he hope to cure the disease."
"Excellent ginseng? This stuff is hard to find." Lu Chen touched his chin.
"Lu Chen, I remember that you seem to have a top-quality ginseng plant, can you..."
Before Li Qingyao finished speaking, Lu Chen interrupted: "No! My ginseng has other important uses!"
"Ok?"
The sudden rejection made Li Qingyao stunned for a moment.
In her memory, no matter what she wanted, the other party would fully satisfy her.
Why is this attitude happening today?
"Lu! What do you mean by that? Don't I just want you a ginseng plant? Are you so stingy?" Zhang Cuihua was a little unhappy.
"Lu Chen, as long as you contribute ginseng and cure the old patriarch's disease, my cousin will be able to become a leader. At that time, you will be the number one hero!" Tan Hong began to draw the pie.
"I can promise you other things, but I absolutely can't do this!" Lu Chen answered decisively.
That 500-year-old top-grade ginseng was a key medicinal ingredient for refining the Nine Transformations Life-Sustaining Pill, so naturally he couldn't let it go.
"Hey! It's just a ginseng plant. It's not going to kill you. How about you?!" Zhang Cuihua's eyes widened.
"That's right! Since you don't need it now, you might as well give it to your cousin in exchange for a favor." Tan Hong agreed.
"Lu Chen, this ginseng is very important to me. With it, Grandpa can wake up. Although it is a bit difficult, I hope you can bear the pain and give up." Li Qingyao said in a sincere tone.
"Sorry, this ginseng is also very important to me. I can't give it to you." Lu Chen refused again.
Hearing this, Li Qingyao frowned slightly, and then said: "If you feel you are at a loss, I can buy it with money."
"It's not about money." Lu Chen shook his head: "No matter how much money I have, I won't sell it."
"Then what do you want? In your eyes, am I not as good as a ginseng plant?" Li Qingyao's pretty face turned cold.
At this moment, she was really angry.
She was angry not because of ginseng, but because the other party didn't value her at all.
