Unable to enter the Luan family's estate, the three dared not linger and quickly drove away.
As their car started to move, two more luxury cars stopped in front of the Luan family manor.
Seeing the people who emerged from the two luxury cars, Luan Mingyu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "This is bad. The Long and Xue families have also sent people."
After temporarily leaving the Luan family manor, they found a place nearby to park the car and began to discuss what to do.
This 'Longevity Pill' had to be delivered to Old Master Luan as soon as possible. Otherwise, with various families trying to coerce and tempt them, or even send people to snatch it, it would be difficult to protect.
If they couldn't get into the Luan family's estate, they certainly couldn't deliver it. Even if they did get in, it wouldn't be easy to see Old Master Luan.
Inside the Luan family manor, Luan Mingkai quickly figured out why so many families had sent people. It turned out to be for a pill in the hands of Luan Mingyu's daughter.
"Everyone, Luan Mingyu was expelled from the Luan family long ago, and he is really not here," Luan Mingkai explained to everyone present.
"You are Luan Mingyu's elder brother; you must have a way to find him," someone said.
Luan Mingyu's son, Luan Yun, said, "Everyone, Luan Mingyu's home is not a secret; you can easily find it. If you want to find him, just go to his house."
"Luan Yun, we all know that finding Luan Mingyu is not difficult, but the pill is in his daughter's hands, and we can't get it. I'll give you three hundred million; help me get it, how about it?"
"I'll offer five hundred million. Luan Yun, as long as you help me get that pill, I'll pay five hundred million."
The pill's whereabouts were unknown, and the Luan family hall had turned into an auction house, with people constantly bidding higher prices to bribe Luan Yun into helping them obtain the pill.
Although the Luan family was wealthy, it had a large population and many expenses. Therefore, for juniors like Luan Yun, their monthly pocket money ranged from a mere tens of thousands to two to three hundred thousand. Hundreds of millions were an astronomical sum to them.
Luan Yun was tempted, but in front of his father, Luan Mingkai, he dared not show it.
When Luan Mingkai learned that Luan Jiping had a 'Longevity Pill,' he immediately remembered the call Luan Mingyu had made to him earlier.
Luan Mingyu had been expelled from the Luan family for many years and rarely asked to see his father. This time, his sudden request to see his father was clearly related to the 'Longevity Pill.'
If Luan Mingyu gave the 'Longevity Pill' to his father, his father would surely be pleased and allow their family to return to the Luan family. Although he was not yet the head of the Luan family, as long as Luan Mingyu's family didn't return, the position of family head would eventually be his.
Luan Mingkai had his son and daughter appease the people from various families while he secretly slipped out and issued a command to all members of the Luan family: Luan Mingyu's family was not allowed to enter the Luan family manor.
Long Xiao and the other two deliberated for a while and decided to find a rich target to draw fire first, and then present the 'Longevity Pill' at Old Master Luan's birthday banquet.
No one had seen the 'Longevity Pill,' so Long Xiao took out a bottle from his pocket, took out a pill for treating ordinary pneumonia, and put it into the box Luan Mingyu was holding.
The three arrived at the entrance of the Luan family manor again. Luan Jiping and Luan Mingyu got out of the car with the box and walked straight in.
The guard stopped them again. Luan Mingyu said, "Go inform my father. I have obtained a 'Longevity Pill' and want to give it to him as a birthday gift."
The guard, having received orders not to let Luan Mingyu in, naturally tried his best to stop him.
Luan Mingyu spoke many pleasantries, but it was no use. Just as he was about to force his way in, two more luxury cars stopped in front of the Luan family's gate.
Eight people got out of the cars. The leader was slightly overweight, with a ruddy complexion, and walked with a powerful stride, exuding great prestige.
As the eight were about to enter the Luan family's estate, the leader turned and glanced at Long Xiao, Luan Mingyu, and Luan Jiping. He happened to see the jade box in Luan Mingyu's hand.
"Who are you people, and what are you doing here?" the leader asked.
Luan Mingyu quickly hid the box behind his back and said, "Nothing, I'm not holding anything."
The leader waved his hand and said, "All of you, attack and snatch it from me."
Seven people lunged at Luan Mingyu and Luan Jiping. Seeing that these people intended to rob them, the two quickly entered the Luan family manor.
As Luan Jiping ran, she shouted loudly, "Uncle, come out quickly! Someone is trying to snatch the 'Longevity Pill'!"
The Luan family guards, seeing that someone was trying to snatch what Luan Mingyu was holding, no longer dared to obstruct them. Hearing Luan Jiping shout that someone was trying to snatch the 'Longevity Pill,' they quickly reported it upstairs via their walkie-talkies.
The security chief of the Luan family manor, upon hearing from his subordinates that someone was at the gate trying to snatch Luan Mingyu's 'Longevity Pill,' immediately arranged for personnel to intercept them while reporting the situation to Luan Mingkai.
Luan Mingkai had just entered the reception hall when he heard the security chief's call. He quickly said, "Stop them! They absolutely cannot be allowed to snatch the 'Longevity Pill' away."
Everyone in the reception hall heard that someone was trying to snatch the Luan family's 'Longevity Pill,' and they all stood up instantly.
"Let's go, let's go see."
Someone suggested, and everyone rushed out of the reception hall towards the main gate of the manor.
After Luan Mingyu and Luan Jiping ran into the manor gate, they were caught up by people from behind before they could run far. At the same time, the Luan family's guards also rushed out.
A melee was about to begin. Luan Mingyu and Luan Jiping quickly dodged and ran further into the manor.
Due to his health, Old Master Luan had been living in seclusion for the past two years. Although he appeared to be in seclusion, he received news of any major events in the Luan family or even the capital.
Old Master Luan had already known about the 'Longevity Pill.' When he first received the news, he was merely envious and didn't think of obtaining it.
When he learned that the 'Longevity Pill' was in Luan Jiping's hands, his interest was immediately piqued.
Ten years of extended life was an extraordinary temptation for someone who was on the verge of death.
While Old Master Luan was contemplating how to safely obtain the 'Longevity Pill,' someone reported to him that Luan Mingyu had appeared at the Luan family manor with the 'Longevity Pill.'
Old Master Luan instantly understood. Although his son had been expelled from the Luan family by him, he harbored no resentment and still wished to return.
This 'Longevity Pill' was what his son intended to give him, and it was already at the gate. Ten years of lifespan was within reach, and he couldn't help but strive for it.
"Let's go, follow me to the front gate. We must obtain the 'Longevity Pill' no matter what," Old Master Luan suddenly stood up and said.
A Mu was Old Master Luan's confidant. He had followed Old Master Luan on his travels since childhood and assisted him in building their fortune. In the Luan family, A Mu's status was very high, even exceeding that of Old Master Luan's two sons.
Old Master Luan, leaning on his cane, strode forward, with the emaciated A Mu following closely behind.
The front courtyard of the Luan family manor was in chaos, with fighting everywhere. Everyone's target was the jade box in Luan Mingyu's hand.
Luan Mingyu, leading Luan Jiping, ran through the manor, dodging and weaving, and was soon blocked by a group of people.
"Mingyu, leave the 'Longevity Pill,' or I'll have to use force."
"Brother, are you also going to snatch my pill?"
Blocking Luan Mingyu was Zhao Kaifeng, the second brother of Zhao Ru, and Luan Mingyu's brother-in-law.
"Mingyu, Father is old and his time is limited. You can't just watch him leave, can you?"
"Second Brother, this 'Longevity Pill' is for my father; you can't snatch it."
Luan Mingyu did not want to give the box in his hand to Zhao Kaifeng. Luan Mingyu and his wife had a very good relationship, and he didn't want his brother-in-law to be a shield for him.
"Uncle, this is for my grandfather. You can't snatch it," Luan Jiping said, standing in front of her father.
Zhao Kaifeng pulled Luan Jiping aside and said, "Jiping, step aside. It's all the same whether it's for your grandfather or your maternal grandfather."
