487 The Qi Family’s Past

Lu Benwei was a little surprised and took a few steps back.

Even the bodyguards in black who were with Qi Tianci knelt.

“Brother Lu, please save us!”

“Save you?” Lu Benwei frowned and asked.

“I have no reason to resolve the internal conflict between the Qi family of Tianjin and the Qi family of Dragon City.”

Lu Benwei’s brain reacted quickly.

From the moment they met, Qi Tianci had been drawing a clear line between himself and the Qi family in Dragon City. It was probably another family matter like the fight for family property.

He did not want to get involved in this matter, and he was not familiar with Qi Tianci. He might as well directly refuse.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Seeing that Lu Benwei did not agree, Qi Tianci kowtowed three times in a row. Even the thick round table was affected.

“Mr. Qi, you don’t have to kidnap me here.”

Lu Benwei had been kidnapped by inexplicable morals a few times today. Just thinking about it made him feel annoyed.

“Good luck!”

After giving Qi Tianci some instructions, Lu Benwei turned around and was about to leave. A bodyguard in black suddenly hugged Lu Benwei’s leg and refused to let him leave.

The remaining bodyguards in black also kowtowed in unison. “Brother Lu, please save master.”

Lu Benwei was slightly moved. As the saying goes, a man’s knees have gold.

The bodyguards in black were not related to the Qi family by blood, but they followed Qi Tianci and knelt before Lu Benwei. If the Qi family of Tianjin were to fall, it would have nothing to do with them. At most, they could just find a new master to serve.

Now, not only the bodyguards in black knelt to Lu Benwei, but they also kowtowed several times.

Thinking of this, Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief. “You guys get up first. Let’s sit down and talk.”

Qi Tianci was so excited that he kowtowed again and got up from the ground. The remaining bodyguards in black also stood up and pulled Lu Benwei to sit down.

“Brother Lu, let’s talk while eating.”

Qi Tianci even thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Lu Benwei.

At this moment, the old beggar wiped the oil off his mouth and stood up to pat his butt. “Alright, you guys are going to talk about secret matters later. As an outsider, I won’t get involved in this matter.”

“Old sir, take care!”

Qi Tianci turned around and sent the old beggar off.

“Little Sun, drive the old man away.”

“Alright!”

Qi Tianci only returned after he sent the old beggar to the stairs.

Lu Benwei saw all of this.

As the old beggar had said, Qi Tianci was a very particular person. At least, he was well-educated.

After Qi Tianci sat down, he called the waiter and started to serve the hot dishes.

“There’s no need to be so polite. Tell me what happened first. If it’s not a big deal, I can consider helping to solve it.”

Lu Benwei went straight to the point.

Qi Tianci’s expression changed, but he said, “Brother Lu is a straightforward person. Then I’ll make it short. We have to start from the generation of the previous family head of the Qi family, who’s also the father of the current family head of the Qi family in Dragon City…”

…

It turned out that the Qi family of Tianjin and the father of the previous head of the Qi family were branches.

The previous head of the Qi family, Qi Tianci’s father, was the illegitimate son of the father of the head of the Qi family in Dragon City.

When he heard this, Lu Benwei ridiculed in his heart. ‘As expected, it’s still a matter between the pants of these wealthy families.’

Of course, Lu Benwei could not say it in front of Qi Tianci.

“Although we can’t wash our dirty linen in public,” Qi Tianci joked, “I have a favor to ask of you, Brother Lu.”

Then, the story continued.

Qi Tianci’s grandmother was truly in love with the previous head of the Qi family. However, due to her poor family background, she naturally did not receive the blessings of the Qi family’s elders. Qi Tianci’s grandmother had no choice but to be the mistress of the Qi family.

After that, the head of the Qi family was busy fighting against monsters and had no time to care about trivial matters at home.

That was why Qi Tianci’s grandmother had such a low status in the Qi family that even the maid of his first wife dared to point fingers at her.

After giving birth to Qi Tianci’s father, her condition did not improve. Instead, she was treated even more harshly by the first wife, and Qi Tianci’s father suffered along with her.

The head of the Qi family met with a tragic death in his middle age. He was poisoned by the poisonous gas of a monster. When he was in critical condition, he began to divide the family business.

In the end, Qi Tianci’s father was assigned to Tianjin as a branch family. His childhood experience had shaped Qi Tianci’s father’s tenacious character, and he had managed to make the Qi family’s business in Tianjin flourish.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Qi Tianci’s father, mother, and grandmother had lost their lives in a fire. Qi Tianci had no choice but to take up the burden his father had left behind.

“My condolences.”

After Lu Benwei heard this, he sighed.

However, Qi Tianci was quite lucky. His father did not yield to fate and made a name for himself in Tianjin. He had given Qi Tianci a happy childhood.

“The Qi family in Dragon City wants to attack you?” Lu Benwei said after thinking for a while.

Qi Tianci nodded. “The Qi family in Dragon City said that my grandmother bewitched my grandfather and made him leave his business in Tianjin to my father. Now, they want to take back my father’s achievements in Tianjin!”

At this point, Qi Tianci clenched his fists and then loosened them. There was a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

Lu Benwei sighed. Pretending to be careless, he glanced at Qi Tianci with his Eyes of Insight.

It was a pity that Qi Tianci was the lowest class in the life class.

If he had to hand over the properties of the Qi family in Tianjin, the Qi family of Dragon City could kill him as easily as killing an ant.

“Brother Lu, please help me!” Qi Tianci said sincerely again.

Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief and said, “When will the Qi family in Dragon City send people over?”

“Tomorrow.”

Lu Benwei frowned and thought, ‘It’s too soon.’

Seeing Lu Benwei’s hesitation, Qi Tianci prepared to kneel again.

“Let me think about it again.” Lu Benwei stood up.

To put it bluntly, this matter was still a family matter of wealthy families. Lu Benwei did not want to get involved in it.

However, when Qi Tianci saw that Lu Benwei had loosened up, he smiled comfortably.

“Brother Lu, stay at my house tonight.”

“Forget it, I don’t like to live in other people’s homes.” Lu Benwei rejected decisively.

Qi Tianci was slightly disappointed after hearing that. He then said, “Then, please come to my house first, Brother Lu. I’ll get Little Sun to send you back later.”

“Do I have to go to your house?” Lu Benwei was a little wary, and his voice was a little cold.

Qi Tianci was stunned. He knew that Lu Benwei had misunderstood him.

“Brother Lu, you’ve misunderstood. Someone from my family wants to see you. Don’t worry, you can probably take care of them with one hand.”
