Chapter 388 Our patriarch sent me to deliver a message to you
the next morning.
The weather in Seoul is very nice.
Li Ze sat inside the black bulletproof SUV.
The driver was in front, and the car smoothly drove out of the gate of Beichen Garden.
Today, Li Ze is going back to Lijia Village.
He and Zhang Ruoran have already discussed it and will hold their wedding in the middle of next month.
This is such a big matter that he has to go back and inform his relatives in the village in person.
After all, he was an orphan from a young age and grew up relying on the kindness of the villagers. The older brothers and elders in the village had all been kind to him.
These people are indispensable for his wedding.
The car drove on the highway for more than an hour.
Soon, the car drove into Lijia Village.
Lijia Village is completely different now than it used to be.
Li Ze funded the construction of a wide cement road in the village. The houses on both sides of the road were also built very neatly.
The large manor that Li Ze funded to build on the west side of the village is now fully completed. It looks very impressive.
The old man parked his car in front of his elder brother Li Guoqing's house.
Li Ze got out of the car.
He was wearing a very ordinary gray casual outfit today. He was still holding that string of beads in his hand.
He strode into his elder brother's yard.
Inside the courtyard, the eldest brother, Li Guoqing, was feeding the chickens.
My sister-in-law, Wang Xiufen, is washing clothes.
Upon seeing Li Ze walk in, the two of them quickly stopped what they were doing.
Li Guoqing shouted loudly with great joy:
"Fourth brother! Why are you back all of a sudden? Come in and sit down!"
Wang Xiufen quickly wiped her hands on her apron.
"Fourth brother's here. Have you eaten yet? Your sister-in-law will make you something nice to eat."
Li Ze smiled and waved his hand.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't bother. I've already had breakfast."
"I'm back today because I have two very important things to tell you."
Li Ze went inside the house. He sat down on the old wooden chair.
Li Guoqing and Wang Xiufen quickly pulled up chairs and sat opposite him.
Li Ze looked at them with a very happy smile on his face.
He stated very directly:
"The first thing. In the middle of next month, Ruoran and I are getting married."
"We've already gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate. This time, we're going to have a real wedding."
"The date has been set. I came back today specifically to inform you. Your whole family, along with all the relatives and elders in the village, must attend."
Upon hearing this news...
Li Guoqing and Wang Xiufen exchanged a glance.
They were stunned for a moment, then both of them burst into loud laughter at the same time.
Li Guoqing slapped his thigh excitedly:
"Great! That's wonderful!"
"Fourth brother, you did the right thing! If she's a good woman, she's waited for you for eighteen years. You should have given her a proper status long ago!"
"Don't worry. My whole family will be there to help you as soon as possible. This is a huge joyous occasion for the Li family!"
Wang Xiufen nodded happily.
She said with a smile:
"I knew Ruoran had always had feelings for you."
"You two have finally overcome your hardships. From now on, live a peaceful and stable life."
"Where are you having your wedding? Is it at a big hotel in the city?"
Li Ze heard his sister-in-law ask this question.
He smiled.
He waved his hand very casually and said:
"It won't be held in the city. It'll be in a very special place. The boss will send a car to pick you up later. Just go with him."
Li Ze didn't directly reveal the details of the giant dome and the Moon Palace. He wanted to give his relatives a big surprise as well.
After discussing the wedding arrangements...
Li Ze turned his head and looked at Li Guoqing.
He asked:
"Brother, the second thing. How are my two nephews, Li Da and Li Er, doing with their studies?"
"The college entrance exam is just around the corner. How are their preparations going?"
"I promised them during the Chinese New Year that if they got into university, I would buy each of them a car. I keep my word."
Hearing Li Ze ask about his two sons' studies.
Li Guoqing's smile grew even more proud.
He answered loudly:
"Fourth brother, don't worry!"
"Ever since you made that promise to them during the Lunar New Year, those two boys are like completely different people."
"They study until midnight every night and get up at six in the morning to memorize their lessons."
"They did very well in the mock exams a few days ago. The teacher said they'll definitely get into a top university."
Wang Xiufen chimed in from the side:
"Yes, fourth brother. Thanks to your words, they are very sensible now."
"They also said that when you get married, they will personally come to toast you."
Li Ze was pleased to hear how successful his two nephews were.
He felt very gratified.
He nodded vigorously and said:
"Okay. As long as they study hard and have a bright future, I'll take care of the car issue."
"If they get into a top university, I will not only buy them a car, but I will also cover all their expenses for university."
Li Guoqing and Wang Xiufen heard Li Ze say this.
They were deeply grateful. They knew Li Ze was wealthy, but it was his kindness towards his family that was truly precious.
At noon, Li Ze had a meal at his older brother's house.
After finishing his meal, Li Ze visited several other relatives in the village.
He told the village chief and his third brother about his wedding date.
Everyone was overjoyed. People in the village said this was the biggest happy event in Lijia Village this year.
Li Ze stayed in the village until evening.
The sky gradually darkened.
Li Ze sat in his elder brother's house and ate another dinner.
After finishing dinner, Li Ze stood up.
He said to Li Guoqing and Wang Xiufen:
"Brother, sister-in-law, it's getting late, I have to go back."
"Ruoran is still waiting for me at home. There are still many details to prepare for the wedding."
Li Guoqing and Wang Xiufen escorted Li Ze to the gate.
Li Ze got into the black bulletproof SUV.
The old man sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
The car drove very smoothly out of Lijia Village and onto the wide cement road.
There were very few cars on the highway at night.
The road was lined with dark, dense woods.
The car drove for about ten minutes.
Sudden.
The older man stepped on the brakes.
"Creak—"
The car screeched to a halt in the middle of the road.
Li Ze sat in the back row, leaning forward slightly.
He frowned.
He looked at the first man in front of him and asked in a very calm voice:
"Hey, what's going on? Why did you stop the car?"
The first man did not answer immediately.
His very sharp eyes were fixed on the front of the car.
His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The old man's voice became very serious, and he reported to the leader in a deep voice:
"Boss, there's someone blocking the way."
Li Ze heard this.
His gaze passed through the windshield and landed in the middle of the road.
Under the headlights of a car.
A man was standing there.
The man looked to be in his fifties.
He was dressed in a very ordinary gray cloth coat and black cloth shoes.
He has a very ordinary appearance; he's the kind of person who would never get a second glance if he walked down the street.
but.
He just stood there, straight in the middle of the road.
Facing this seemingly very sturdy and massive bulletproof off-road vehicle.
There wasn't a trace of fear on his face.
His feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, and he stood very steadily.
He exuded an aura that was extremely dangerous and chilling.
This aura could be clearly felt even through bulletproof glass.
Li Ze looked at the man.
He slowly stopped fiddling with the beads in his hand.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew this was definitely not some ordinary robber who would ambush people on the highway.
Ordinary people cannot possess this kind of aura.
Li Ze sat in the car, and he didn't panic.
He looked at the man, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He gave a very domineering laugh.
Li Ze said loudly:
"Roll down the car window."
Upon hearing the order, the old man pressed the button.
The rear windows slowly rolled down halfway.
Li Ze sat in the car, looking at the man outside.
His tone was very casual, yet carried the authority of someone in a superior position.
He asked:
"Friend, standing in the middle of the road and stopping my car late at night."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
The man in gray standing in the middle of the road.
He heard what Li Ze said.
He slowly raised his head.
His eyes were fixed on Li Ze, who was sitting inside the car.
His gaze was extremely cold, like a knife.
The man made no unnecessary movements.
He stood there and said in a very low, very clear voice:
"Mr. Li Ze".
My name is Zhou Shihai.
"I am here on behalf of the Wang family of the capital."
"Our master sent me to deliver a message to you."
"By the way, here's a little warning for you."
Upon hearing the words "the Wang family of the capital".
There is also the name "Zhou Shihai".
Li Ze's face showed no surprise or fear whatsoever.
He laughed even more heartily.
He leaned back in his seat.
He looked at Zhou Shihai.
Li Ze said in a very humorous and relaxed manner:
"Oh? The Wang family of the capital?"
"That legendary, incredibly powerful, mysterious family?"
"You're pretty quick."
"What? Your crazy girl didn't get away with it last night, so she sent you, the old man, to cause trouble today?"
"Speak. What warning does your patriarch intend to give me?"
"I'm all ears."
