The tea on the coffee table was still boiling.
The faint aroma of tea permeated the whole living room. The sound of boiling water was heard. It added some liveliness to the quiet living room.
Smile on Xiao Zheng's lips, he gazed at King Ling Lai thoughtfully. The latter walked slowly to the living room and sat down. He pursed his lips and said, "If I had the ability to predict the future, I wouldn't have been snubbed."
Xiao Zheng was defeated, but he gently picked up the quilt on the coffee table and played with it. He said, "This teacup isn't used by His Majesty."
"Oh?" King Ling Lai asked. "Then who could have used it?"
"I'm very familiar with the smell of King Ling Lai," Xiao Zheng said seriously. "The smell on this cup belongs to a man."
King Ling Lai pursed his lips and said, "It seems that Mr. Xiao has a great talent in solving cases."
Xiao Zheng smiled and his deep eyes fell on King Ling Lai's face. "Who is this man?"
"He's the target that I use to liberate my nature," King Ling Lai said with a sense of revenge. "Now he's gone."
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly and said, "King Ling Lai, we're friends. We should be honest with each other. "
King Ling Lai's eyes changed slightly. He said, "Boss Xiao, I've been honest with you. What about you? "
Xiao Zheng sighed and shook his head. "King Ling Lai, from an objective point of view, I'm a married man."
"Did I say I care?" King Ling Lai asked.
"I care." Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly.
"Am I worse than Shen Manjun? Or worse than Bai Yujiao? "King Ling Lai stared at Xiao Zheng. "Boss Xiao, aren't you being too hypocritical? Or, are you just an ally to me? "
Xiao Zheng really didn't want to linger on this topic. Although he couldn't bear it, he still said calmly, "Your Majesty Ling Lai, if I'm not mistaken, His Majesty. Your visit to China is not only a political mission. Do you have any other motives? "
"Yes! I have another important purpose! "King Ling Lai suddenly raised his voice. "Boss Xiao, do you want to know?"
"If you would like to say----"
"I'll kill you!" King Ling Lai said coldly. "Boss Xiao, this is the most important purpose of my trip!"
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, but soon smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty Ling Lai, why do you have to —"
King Ling Lai suddenly laughed.
His smile was very strange. It was a creepy smile.
"Boss Xiao, do you think I'm joking with you?" King Ling Lai questioned coldly.
"I know it's not a joke," Xiao Zheng slightly lowered his eyes, then slowly raised his head and said. "Besides, I've already helped you take care of that suspicious driver."
King Ling Lai heard this and looked at Xiao Zheng curiously, "You killed him?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. On one hand, he was your personal driver. I can't explain why he died in my hands. On the other hand, I hope to pry some valuable information from him, "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "In terms of torture, I have a wealth of experience leading the world."
"Even if you're a demon from hell, you can't scare him." Hearing this, King Ling Lai calmed down. He glanced at the bedroom door without anyone noticing. "Boss Xiao, I'm tired."
Facing Ling Lai's order to leave, Xiao Zheng turned a deaf ear. Instead, he stood up with a smile and pointed at the bedroom door, "Your Majesty Ling Lai, were you looking at this place just now?"
King Ling Lai frowned and said, "Boss Xiao, this is my bedroom!"
"Do you mind?" Xiao Zheng asked back.
Then he strode to the bedroom.
Bang.
Bang.
The thick leather shoes knocked on the floor, making a low but dull sound. King Ling Lai's palms were slightly sweaty. She moved the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Boss Xiao. Did you suddenly change your mind and decide to stay in my room tonight? "
She played her trump card again.
In this aspect, she took advantage of Xiao Zheng's weakness. And it worked every time.
Unfortunately, this time, Xiao Zheng disappointed her.
When it came to work, Xiao Zheng always separated public and private interests. No one could change his decision.
Xiao Zheng's hand pressed on the doorknob. The smile on his face gradually faded, and it was replaced by a touch of calmness as heavy as the mountains and seas. For a moment, it seemed that even if the sky collapsed, it could not crush his sturdy shoulders.
Creak.
Xiao Zheng finally pushed open the bedroom door. He craned his neck and quickly glanced at every corner of the bedroom. But he could not find anything he wanted in the bedroom.
There was no one in the bedroom.
Even the window was tightly shut.
Only the snow-white curtains fluttered in the breeze.
After a few seconds of pause, Xiao Zheng retracted his gaze and closed the door.
When he turned around, what greeted him was King Ling Lai's extremely strange look.
"He left," Xiao Zheng explained.
"Who is he?" King Ling Lai asked back.
"I also want to know who he is. How can he threaten King Ling Lai? "Xiao Zheng squinted and said.
"How can Boss Xiao be sure that I was threatened?" King Ling Lai pursed his lips and said.
"In the car, you suddenly asked me to get off. I'm curious why King Ling Lai doesn't even have this little bit of magnanimity. The two teacups on the coffee table confirmed my guess. Your visit to China is not just to apologize on behalf of the East Jing government. It also has a personal purpose, "Xiao Zheng explained patiently.
"Boss Xiao is really confident," King Ling Lai squinted and said. "Even so, it may be that I want to do this. I don't need to be threatened. "
"Your Majesty, your eyes tell me that you are saying something against your heart." Xiao Zheng felt a little soft in his heart.
Although the whole process was still a little vague, he had a general idea.
Someone threatened King Ling Lai with the purpose of killing Xiao Zheng.
As for what kind of transaction was involved, Xiao Zheng couldn't be sure at the moment. But one thing was for sure, King Ling Lai was forced by someone. And how powerful would a force that could threaten King Ling Lai be?
That was why Xiao Zheng appeared here in the middle of the night. He wanted to solve the puzzle.
His Majesty Ling Lai was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly shrank. The expression on his face became horror, panic, and even — despair!
Zhao Gao had returned!
He was standing at the door of the bedroom, behind Xiao Zheng!
The light was on.
The wrinkles on Zhao Gao's face were like growth rings, engraved on his loose skin.
His cloudy eyes emitted a light that people couldn't look directly at. It wasn't cold, but it was full of pressure. Even though she was a peerless Overlord with her ninjutsu, at a certain moment, she couldn't help but think that she couldn't resist it!
How powerful was this old servant to make the peerless powerhouse, His Majesty Ling Lai, so frightened?
