Chapter 19: The Wind Rises (3) Section 69

  The door creaked open, and Liu Xie had arrived. He knew that he had originally only hoped to find a backer who could help him stand firm, but he did not expect to have found someone with such abilities, not only reviving all of the Liu family's industries, but also giving the Liu family infinite power in Xu Chang.

  When Liu Xie entered the door, Liu Yuan hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands and smiled: "It's been a month since we last met, Xiao brother has lost a lot of weight!"

  Liu Xie bowed his head in response, but there was no smile on his face. He seemed to be distracted, and Liu Yuan hastily asked, "What's troubling you, Xiao brother?"

  Liu Xie shook his head and sighed, pulling over a chair to sit down. Liu Yuan was surprised, as he had never seen Liu Xie like this before. He hastily said, "Brother Xiao, if there's anything troubling you, don't hesitate to speak out, I'll definitely help!" After saying this, he regretted it - with Liu Xie's vast resources, what could he possibly do to help if Liu Xie was facing an unsolvable problem? But since the words were already spoken, he could only cast a sincere glance at Liu Xie.

  Liu Xie and others were just his words, saying in a low voice: "I don't know what relationship I have with my elder brother?"

  Liu Yuan was confused, and hastily laughed: "Xiao brother is not only my business partner, but also the benefactor of my Liu family. If my Liu family can be where we are today, it's all thanks to Xiao brother!"

  Liu Xie nodded: "If brothers have difficulties, would big brother be willing to help?"

  "This is natural!" Liu Yuan thoughtlessly blurted out, but Liu Xie seemed to have not heard it at all and coldly said: "Even if I risk my life and the extinction of my whole family, are you willing to help?"

  Liu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine: "This!" He had already somewhat understood that Liu Xie's visit today was to ask for something from him, and it must be a matter of great importance. If he agreed, the entire Liu family with over a hundred people would be implicated by him; if he didn't agree, it would seem like he was heartless and unrighteous. This had put him in a dilemma.

  Liu Xie didn't care about his hesitation and asked himself: "Big brother, do you know who I am?"

  Liu Yuan shook his head, although he had also investigated in many ways, unfortunately, it was a futile return. Later, he simply gave up, as long as he could bring benefits to himself, who cared about who he was? Liu Xie paused for a moment and said word by word: "I am Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie!"

  His words were like a thunderclap, and Liu Yuan was stunned, but looking at Liu Xie's expression, he wasn't joking with him, and he was so dazed that he couldn't say a word.
