The car slowly drove out of Beixin Pavilion.
Li Lei rolled down the window and lit a cigarette in the car.
Smoke drifted out through the window, caught by the wind and blown backward, trailing a long tail.
Inside the car, Li Lei recalled what He Wenxin had said and had to admit that he was genuinely tempted.
He knew that as long as he was willing to make that request, his future career would be smooth sailing, and he might reach unprecedented heights! Taking charge of an entire province was perhaps too distant, but taking charge of a prefecture was definitely a future he could see! Yet Li Lei also knew that no matter how objectively he relayed the message, the moment he brought it up with Li Fei, Li Fei would inevitably be influenced by him.
Otherwise, why would the other side go to such lengths to make him deliver the message to Li Fei? Since they were negotiating terms, they could simply go talk to Li Fei directly.
Wasn't it precisely to play the family card? "Phew—"
Li Lei exhaled heavily, mentally preparing himself to face the coming "sugar-coated cannonballs."
Since they wanted to play the family card with Li Fei, they would definitely play it with him first.
His nephew Feng Chenfeng was merely the prelude.
Li Lei knew more or less about the grudges Li Fei had incurred.
He knew that the Lu family stood behind the Provincial City of Feng Province, and that it was one of the Ten Great Clans.
A lineage that had existed even longer than the Great Blue Dynasty would inevitably possess foundations and methods far beyond his imagination! He did not know whether he could withstand them, so he could only do his best not to influence Li Fei.
