C1617 Arriving at the Kong Family
"Speaking of which, you should still be in school at this time of the year. How did you get back to A City? Didn't you start your internship in the second half of the semester in your third year? " Yi Lanyou asked.
"There are some matters in 'A' City, so I took a few days off. " Kong Shiyan supported her chin with one hand and asked, "Did you encounter some trouble in 'A' City?"
"Yes, it is not small. " Yi Lanyou lightly laughed and said, "The moment we arrived at the airport, we were chased by a dog all the way. "
"That is true. " Kong Shiyan opened her mouth and asked, "Do you want to drink something? There are champagne and cocktails, as well as carbonated drinks. "
"No, thank you. " Yi Lanyou politely refused and the others also waved their hands. Only Xiang Jiu'er asked for a drink.
"Sister Shiyan, I have a question that I want to ask. " Yi Lanyou said.
"What question?" Kong Shiyan looked at Yi Lanyou.
"The meeting of the seven families was organized by Kong Family, right?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"Yes. " Kong Shiyan nodded and said, "Every time the seven families' meeting is organized by the Kong Family. "
"Oh. " Yi Lanyou nodded her head, "Then. . . "
"I can't answer the other questions. " Kong Shiyan smiled awkwardly. "I was called back at the last minute. I only came back two days earlier than you guys. You can ask my brother about the details. "
"Okay. " Yi Lanyou heard this and did not ask about the seven families anymore. Instead, she asked about the local customs and tourist attractions in 'A' City.
Kong Shiyan answered one by one. The atmosphere on the road was still considered harmonious but Bai Qiuying did not say a word as she looked at Kong Shiyan with a vigilant gaze.
After all, her brother participated in the banquet organized by Kong's and disappeared. She had to be on guard.
When they reached the residence of Kong Family, Yi Lanyou got off the car and followed Kong Shiyan into the living room. Kong Cixian should have heard Kong Shiyan say that Yi Lanyou was coming over and was already waiting in the living room.
Seeing Yi Lanyou come over, Kong Cixian stood up and shook hands with Yi Lanyou, "Long time no see, Miss Yi. "
"Long time no see. " Yi Lanyou nodded and smiled faintly.
"Miss Bai. " Kong Cixian also shook hands with Bai Qiuying.
"Yes. " Bai Qiuying looked at Kong Cixian and opened her mouth, but she resisted the urge to ask.
Yi Lanyou had told her to let Yi Lanyou talk about everything that happened today.
"Brother, they have something to ask you. " Kong Shiyan said.
"Then sit down and talk," Kong Shiyan said. Kong Cixian said.
"Alright. " After Yi Lanyou and the others sat down, the maid looked at the tea. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Yi Lanyou smiled and said, "This tea is really not bad. It must be Mount Yingyun. "
"Miss Yi is very knowledgeable about tea leaves?" Kong Cixian smiled.
"Not really. It's just that my friend has a teahouse. I often visit it. " Yi Lanyou smiled and said.
"Hehe. " Kong Cixian said, "If Miss Yi has anything to ask, just say it. "
"Then I won't beat around the bush with you. " Yi Lanyou looked at Kong Cixian. "This time, the meeting of the seven families was organized by your Kong Family, right?"
"That's right. " Kong Cixian nodded.
"Why didn't you invite me?" Yi Lanyou looked at Kong Cixian.
"We sent an invitation to the Yi family. The one who came is Yi Haofeng. " Kong Cixian said.
"Where is the Yuan Family?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"We have sent invitations to the Yuan Family as well. " Kong Cixian said, "But no one came. "
"I'm afraid you guys didn't prepare an invitation. " Yi Lanyou smiled and said, "Young Master Kong, what is the purpose of this gathering of the seven families?"
"Get rid of you. " Kong Cixian said.
"Everyone was stunned. No one had expected Kong Cixian to be so straightforward.
"The result?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"Three votes against three votes. " Kong Cixian said, "We haven't reached an agreement, so we have been in a stalemate. "
"Excluding Yuan Family and Wan Family, there should be five votes. " Yi Lanyou said.
"Someone from the Wan Family has come. " Kong Cixian said, "Although it's a little late, Wan Xingzong has come late. "
"Oh?" Yi Lanyou raised her eyebrows slightly. "Could it be that these three votes against three caused the meeting of the seven families to be in a deadlock until now? It can't be, right? I, Yi Lanyou, am important to this extent?"
"There was an accident in the meeting. " Kong Cixian said.
"What accident?" Yi Lanyou asked.
. . . "" Kong Cixian exchanged glances with Kong Shiyan and no one spoke first.
"Has someone from the Feng Family arrived?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"This is only one of the reasons. " Kong Cixian said.
"One?" Yi Lanyou slightly narrowed her eyes. "Second?"
"Kong Cixian paused for a moment before he looked at Yi Lanyou and said, "My father is missing. "
"What?" Yi Lanyou was stunned for a moment. "The master of Kong Family has gone missing?"
"That's right. " Kong Shiyan nodded and said, "I also came back because of this matter. "
. . . "" Yi Lanyou turned her head and exchanged a look with Bai Qiuying.
"When did this happen?" Bai Qiuying asked.
"A week ago. " Kong Cixian said, "He suddenly disappeared. We have searched all the places we could find. "
"Do you think it was the seven families or Feng's who did it?" Yi Lanyou asked.
"It's possible. " Kong Cixian stood up and said, "It has not been a day or two since the seven great families became united. "
. . . "" Yi Lanyou agreed with this. However, the Kong Family had taught for generations not to involve themselves in politics or business. Although they had the title of the head of the seven big families, they did not necessarily have real power in their hands.
Why did they capture the Kong Family's master?
For the secrets of the seven big families?
Yi Lanyou could not figure it out.
"Did the old man go on a vacation to relieve his boredom?" Xiang Jiu'er asked.
"No. " Kong Shiyan shook her head and said, "My father fell and injured his leg a long time ago. Other than specially inviting him to give a speech, he seldom goes out. "
"Oh. . . " Xiang Jiu'er tilted her head. This was hard to deal with.1
"Did you receive any calls?" Yi Lanyou asked. If it was a kidnapping, there should be a request for them to do something, right? When Yi Lanyou asked this, she put her mind into eavesdropping on Kong Cixian and Kong Shiyan's thoughts.
"No. " The siblings shook their heads.
. . . "" Yi Lanyou took a deep breath after confirming that the two of them were not lying. "So you imprisoned the others, hoping to find the Kong Family Master?"
"No. " Kong Shiyan shook her head and said, "Actually. . . "
"Actually, the others have also gone missing. " Kong Cixian said, "The first one who went missing was my father, followed by Yi Haofeng, followed by Bai Qiuwu, Lu Xinting and Lu Lifeng. Tang Xuanli also went missing last night. Now, only Wan Xingzong is still alive. "
As soon as Kong Cixian finished speaking, a maid ran over in a panic and said, "Young master! Not good. "
"What's wrong?" Kong Cixian looked at the maid.
"Young Master Wan is missing!" The maid gulped and said, "He suddenly disappeared!"
"Everyone's expression turned solemn.
