Chapter 78 The New Protagonist
Zhou Yuan looked disappointed when he heard Li Tian's words. He did not expect that Li Tian would let Xiao Chen go.
But seeing that the relationship between the two of them was fractured was already good.
In the original plot, Li Tian and Li Min were the most important people in Xiao Chen's success, they both helped him a lot and gave Xiao Chen good things.
Surely what they did was not in vain, the two of them had also gotten a lot of good things from Xiao Chen.
.....
This banquet did not go well. Just an hour after Li Min's death, the event was disbanded.
Zhou Yuan was now in the car with Ji Luoxue and was heading to the villa.
"Do you think Li Min really died of his illness? I don't think so." Ji Luoxue suddenly said.
"You're right. Maybe he was poisoned by Xiao Chen." Zhou Yuan smiled and said.
"Xiao Chen? I just realized that he was there and it seems that he has a conflict with Li Tian. And I heard Li Tian say something like poison and potion. Looks like Xiao Chen did poison Li Min." Ji Luoxue nodded and said.
"Well, he's not a good person, in fact he often gets into trouble at school." Zhou Yuan said.
"I already guessed. I should have killed him when he sneaked into the villa at that time." Ji Luoxue said coldly.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan smiled in satisfaction. It seemed that Ji Luoxue's impression of Xiao Chen had become so bad it was even to the point of wanting to kill him.
That's a good thing actually.
"It's still not too late, how about stopping by a restaurant first?" Zhou Yuan suddenly said.
"Hmmm, well, I know a good restaurant around here." Ji Luoxue nodded and said.
"We're going straight there."
...
15 minutes later, the two of them arrived at the restaurant. It's a starry sky restaurant.
This place is very luxurious with a modern and elegant design, especially coupled with friendly and polite waiters. This restaurant deserves to be one of the best in Suzhou.
And right now, Zhou Yuan and Ji Luoxue were in the VIP room on the roof of this restaurant. The scenery of this place is very beautiful with the starry sky and the atmosphere of a quiet night.
"It's a bit lacking without wine." Zhou Yuan sighed.
The food in this restaurant is indeed luxurious and delicious, it will be perfect if it is added with wine.
But he was with Ji Luoxue now, so he wouldn't drink wine.
"You promised me not to drink wine anymore. After all, this coconut is refreshing, better than wine, right?" Ji Luoxue smiled and said.
"Well, if my Ji Luoxue says that, I won't mind it." Zhou Yuan smiled.
....
Zhou Yuan and Ji Luoxue chatted the whole time. They've been in this restaurant for 40 minutes.
"I think it's late, Xiao Yuan, let's go home." Ji Luoxue said as she looked at the time on her smartphone.
"It's a beautiful night, why don't we enjoy it?" Zhou Yuan said.
"No, we're going home now. Tomorrow you go to school and I have to work too." Ji Luoxue shook her head and said.
"Okay then. I'll pay the bill first." Zhou Yuan nodded.
He was about to call the waiter, but he suddenly stopped.
[A protagonist detected near you]
The sudden system prompt took him by surprise. Turns out there's a protagonist nearby.
Zhou Yuan immediately looked around. Even though it was late at night, there were still a lot of people in this VIP room.
He looked in various directions but did not see the protagonist.
'System, where is the protagonist?' Zhou Yuan asked inwardly.
[The system only detects, cannot search]
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan frowned. Sometimes he complains a little because there are some imperfect system features.
He hopes this system can be upgraded to be better.
"Xiao Yuan, is there a problem? It's okay if you forget to bring your wallet, I'll pay for it." Ji Luoxue suddenly said.
"No no, I was just thinking about something. Waiter, give me the bill."
....
After paying the bill for the food, Zhou Yuan went down to the 1st floor with Ji Luoxue.
But Ji Luoxue frowned when she saw that Zhou Yuan stopped and instead looked at something with a strange look.
"Xiao Yuan, you've been acting weird a few times. Honestly, tell me if you have a problem." Ji Luoxue held Zhou Yuan's hand and said concernedly.
"No, sis, I was just thinking about something, nothing to worry about." Zhou Yuan smiled.
"Aren't you lying?" Ji Luoxue asked doubtfully.
"I am not lying." Zhou Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"Alright then, let's go home." Ji Luoxue nodded, then walked towards the car while holding Zhou Yuan's hand.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan smirked when he saw something in front of him.
[Name: Han Feng]
[Age: 18 years]
[Identity: Not important, just an orphan from a poor family]
[Golden finger: great wealth system]
[Lucky points: 400]
Just as he arrived on the 1st floor, he saw a young man leaving this restaurant in a luxury car.
But he saw that there was a golden light above the person's head. And a hologram appeared in front of him showing that person's identity.
'Han Feng, huh? The standard name for the protagonist. But he has a system... If I kill him, won't that system be mine?' Zhou Yuan said with a smirk in his heart.
Great wealth system, he seemed to know about it. It was a system that gave its hosts a lot of money for successfully completing tasks.
Or maybe something else...
And for his lucky points of only 400, it seemed like he could kill Han Feng easily.
"Sis, can you go home alone? I have something important to do." Before getting into the car, Zhou Yuan suddenly said.
Hearing this, Ji Luoxue gave Zhou Yuan a stern look.
"No, we're going home now." Ji Luoxue said firmly.
"Sis, you can go home alone in my car and I'll go. I have important business." Zhou said.
"No!" Ji Luoxue said firmly.
She had already noticed Zhou Yuan's strange behavior. Just thinking about it already worried her.
Even though Zhou Yuan was a flowing qi realm cultivator, but she was still very worried if Zhou Yuan was getting into trouble
The world is so wide and the cultivation base doesn't stop at the flowing qi realm, there are still several realms above that.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan was at a loss as to how to explain to Ji Luoxue that he wanted to go after the protagonist.
Ji Luoxue suddenly held his hand tightly, as if not going to let him go.
"We're going home now!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan sighed. It seemed that Ji Luoxue would not let him go.
"Okay, we'll go home now. But with one kiss." Zhou Yuan nodded then smirked.
"Okay." Ji Luoxue nodded without hesitation.
Ji Luoxue immediately held his cheeks and kissed him on the lips.
Zhou Yuan did not expect that Ji Luoxue would kiss him again, he missed this feeling.
He was about to hold Ji Luoxue's hips, unfortunately Ji Luoxue had already let go of the kiss.
"Let's go home."
She immediately got into the car.
Zhou Yuan smiled, "Okay."
...
"Li Min, what exactly is going on? I heard you talk about poison and the person called Xiao Chen, is that what I thought?" One of the guests suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Li Tian sighed and stood up looking at everyone.
"Hello, everyone. I apologize for this incident. I would like to inform you that the Li family patriarch, Li Min has passed away due to his illness." Li Tian said with condolences.
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
"What? Li Min died? And so suddenly?"
"Hey, what a pity, he died at a time like this."
"Everyone looks innocent, but I believe Li Tian has conspired. I also believe that Li Tian will become the new patriarch in the near future."
Everyone discuss. But some people thought that this was Li Tian's plan to usurp the Li family's patriarchal position.
And as for what happened earlier, like poison or whatever. It's just an internal matter and there's no need to talk about it." Li Tian suddenly said.
He chose to let Xiao Chen go. But that doesn't
