Chapter 157 Liu Lei, intends to act first

After listening to Hong Huang's unfounded and fabricated false news, Liu Lei's originally calm face actually turned slightly red at a speed clearly visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that at this moment his heart was filled with a burning rage, and the source of this rage came from the other forces in Jigui City besides the Liu family.

It turns out that the rumor that Hong Huang spread everywhere today contained the content that all the forces in Jigui City, except the Liu family, have decided to unite closely and jointly launch a massive resistance against the Liu family!

Not only that, they even conspired to attack the Liu family directly in front of everyone on the day of the upcoming city lord election, and openly confront them!

Liu Lei had some idea that these forces might secretly collude and form an alliance with each other. However, what he never expected was that these guys dared to be so arrogant and unscrupulous. Not only did they blatantly publicize this matter, they also made no secret of their intention to take practical action immediately.

At first, Liu Lei didn't fully believe what Hong Huang said. After all, this matter was very serious, and the slightest mistake could lead to a series of unpredictable and serious consequences.

So, he specifically asked several servants in the mansion, trying to get more real and reliable information from them, but the result was surprising. The situation described by these servants was exactly the same as what Hong Huang said!

Now, Liu Lei could no longer have any doubts about this matter. He finally completely believed the news that Hong Huang conveyed to him.

More importantly, Liu Lei has always sent people to closely monitor Ling Qingyue and Hong Huang's clone. After observing for a period of time, he found that the two did not show any abnormal behavior or suspicious behavior related to this incident during this period.

It was also because of this that the last bit of worry in Liu Lei's heart was further dispelled, making him firmly believe that all this was definitely not the work of Hong Huang and others.

Liu Lei was furious, with his hair standing on end and veins bulging on his forehead, as if a volcano was about to erupt at any moment. However, just as his anger was about to burst out, the two messengers from the Demon Blood Cult, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, suddenly flashed through his mind.

So, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions. After the rage in his heart subsided, Liu Lei slowly opened his mouth and said to the two of them in a calm tone, "My two envoys, please rest assured. With the great help of your sect this time, even if those guys unite to deal with our Liu family, they will definitely not be our opponents!"

"Haha, with City Lord Liu's bold words, we feel much more at ease!" Hong Huang responded with a hearty laugh. "However, I do have a small suggestion. Since we're not in a hurry to return to the sect right now, how about we pretend to be members of your Liu family for the time being and stay here to lend a hand to City Lord Liu?"

Hearing this, Liu Lei's heart couldn't help but move, but he didn't agree immediately. After all, this matter was of no trivial matter and required careful consideration.

After a brief hesitation, Liu Lei finally spoke up and asked, "If we can get the full support of the two envoys, it will undoubtedly be a great help to our Liu family! However, although there is still some time before the city lord election, it can't be said to be imminent, but the time is not very long either. The two envoys can't stay in Jigui City forever, right?"

"Actually, this matter is very simple to solve. We just need to move the event date forward! And doing so will bring another unexpected benefit, which is that it can completely disrupt the enemy's deployment and plans. In this way, can't we easily achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone?" Ling Qingyue continued to explain her ideas in an orderly manner with a smile on her face.

After hearing Ling Qingyue's words, Liu Lei, who was sitting next to her, suddenly had a light flash in his eyes, and thought to himself: "Well... this is indeed a wonderful plan! Not only is it feasible, but more importantly, all the arrangements are extremely beneficial to my Liu family." Thinking of this, Liu Lei couldn't help but nodded slightly to express his agreement.

Seeing that Liu Lei had agreed, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, who were sitting opposite him, exchanged glances in tacit understanding. Then, they both raised their glasses and simultaneously cast their gazes towards Liu Lei, saying in unison, "Since City Lord Liu also thinks this plan is brilliant, let us raise our glasses together and wish that this carefully planned plan will be successfully implemented!"

Seeing this, Liu Lei naturally didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him, quickly stood up and responded, "Haha, no problem! With the two envoys' advice and my Liu family's full support, I believe that after this, my Liu family will be able to firmly sit on the top spot of the most powerful force in Jigui City! Come on, come on, cheers!"

Accompanied by the crisp and pleasant sound of clinking glasses, the three of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp, with confident and excited smiles on their faces. After that, the three of them seemed to have forgotten all their worries and enjoyed this extremely joyful banquet to the fullest. The banquet was full of glasses, conversation and laughter, and it was so lively!

However, as the banquet was coming to an end, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue decided to leave. After all, they really didn't want to be under Liu Lei's close surveillance.

Although they can completely get rid of this surveillance with their abilities, it will obviously make Liu Lei feel a little unhappy, and at this moment, they do not want to have an unhappy relationship with Liu Lei.

Liu Lei was naturally a smart man. He knew very well the reason why Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue chose to live outside the mansion. He was well aware that his surveillance was most likely discovered by the two envoys. Since they were unwilling to be bound by him and offered such a wonderful plan to help him, he naturally chose to respect their wishes. So, Liu Lei decisively ordered his men to stop monitoring them.

The camera turns and the time comes to the time before the three-person banquet begins. The location is still the private room of the Xianlai Restaurant. Surprisingly, the original six people are gathered here again, but the atmosphere is completely different from the relaxed and happy one last time. At this moment, everyone's face shows a hint of solemnity to a greater or lesser extent.
