This answer surprised Xiao Zheng, but it was also reasonable.
Otherwise, Xiao Zheng could not think of any other reason why Linghu Duyi would be so obedient to Dong Zang.
After all, Dong Zang was just a simple-minded fellow with well-developed limbs. But Linghu Duyi was the King of the Northeast who dominated the business world of the northeast.
The possibility of him unconditionally submitting to an unknown young man was basically zero. Thus, there had to be a more reasonable reason for Linghu Duyi to do those inexplicable things.
During Dong Zang's time, the Linghu family had been very active in Sijiu City. They had also made frequent appearances.
But after Dong Zang's death, the Linghu family seemed to have sunk into silence. It was only after Linghu Zhu's business achievements that the Linghu family returned to Sijiu City.
After sending Linghu Zhu off, Xiao Zheng carefully pondered the information Linghu Zhu had brought today.
The Linghu family itself was not willing to get involved in this storm. It was only because of the debt of gratitude they owed in the past that they had no choice but to support Dong Zang.
In fact, from Linghu Zhu's rather obscure hints, Xiao Zheng understood that Linghu Zhu was not willing to get involved in the grievances of the older generation.
It could be said that what Linghu Zhu had brought today was full of sincerity, even friendship. Otherwise, there was no need for him to explain these things to Xiao Zheng, let alone prove his innocence.
After being busy in the office for the entire morning, Xiao Zheng had wanted to invite Siyan and the others to the cafeteria box to eat. But before he left, his phone rang incessantly.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Qiu Shou calling.
Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment and wanted to hang up. But Blue Heart's words inexplicably rang out in his mind. Although it was only speculation, it was hard for him to harden his heart and hang up. Shaking his head, Xiao Zheng walked to the window and took a deep breath. "Hello."
"Boss Xiao, are you free at noon?" Qiu Shou's very familiar voice came from the other side of the phone. She was charming and mysterious, unfathomable.
"I'm not free." Xiao Zheng mercilessly refused Qiu Shou. "I'm very busy."
On the other side of the phone, Qiu Shou seemed to be silent for a moment. Then, her iconic voice rang out again. "I think I have something more important than what you are currently busy with."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he said with some mockery, "Do I owe you a favor?"
"I didn't expect Boss Xiao to be such a stingy man." Qiu Shou said meaningfully on the other side of the phone. "You're not even willing to take a little verbal loss?"
Xiao Zheng opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Perhaps it was because too many people had advised him to stay away from the autumn harvest, or even to be more vigilant. There was also Qiu Shou's strange and vicious methods. This caused Xiao Zheng to gradually develop enmity towards Autumn Harvest.
This hostility was naturally expressed in his words.
He was indeed a little petty.
Even Bai Wushuang's despicable actions did not make Xiao Zheng so angry and resentful. From Xiao Zheng's point of view, Qiu Shou's actions had even helped him. Bai Ziwen's crisis was resolved. Why did he have to be so angry?
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said in a low voice, "Boss Qiu, can't you say anything over the phone?"
"In today's more and more advanced technology, there is no security at all over the phone." After saying that, Qiu Shou directly told him the address. Then she hung up the phone.
Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment and finally decided to make this trip. Anyway, even when he was besieged by the four masters at the same time last time, he was only hit by Qiu Shou's sneak attack. Now, Zhao Gao had been beaten to death by Bai Wuxia. He was even more fearless.
The address that Qiu Shou gave him was a very stylish restaurant. After arriving at the restaurant, Xiao Zheng went directly to the private room where Qiu Shou was.
There was only Qiu Shou in the room.
As usual, she was wearing a cheongsam and gorgeous high heels. The scarlet lipstick was like a rouge.
As well as the faint fragrance in the air.
It was very familiar and awe-inspiring.
Qiu Shou was indeed a woman worthy of awe. Her wits, her ruthlessness, and her wisdom.
"Boss Xiao, please sit down." Qiu Shou did not get up. She just casually fiddled with the teacup in front of her. There was no joy or anger on her face. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
After Xiao Zheng sat down, he did not touch the bowl and chopsticks. He just sat calmly on the chair. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at Qiu Shou. "Boss Qiu, if you have something to say, just say it."
Hearing that, Qiu Shou took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In Boss Xiao's eyes, if I fight with Bai Wuxia, what are my chances of winning?"
"Not even 10%," Xiao Zheng blurted out.
Qiu Shou smiled charmingly. "Am I really that weak?"
Xiao Zheng kept his mouth shut and did not say anything.
Not even 10%? This was just Xiao Zheng's impulsive words.
He had a real fight with Qiu Shou. And he had witnessed the terrifying strength of Bai Wuxia with his own eyes.
Both of them fought. He was really not sure who would win. Or would they both perish together?
At least in Xiao Zheng's eyes, Bai Wushuang and Qiu Shou were at the same level. He was not sure that he could defeat either of them. In other words, he was using Xiao Zheng as a benchmark. These two strong cultivators were evenly matched.
"But that night, I did not make a move," Qiu Shou said slowly. "Boss Xiao, do you know why?"
"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked.
She was also very confused.
Why did Qiu Shou just stand aside calmly when Zhao Gao was beaten to death by Bai Wuxia, and did not show any signs of making a move?
Xiao Zheng believed that as long as Qiu Shou was willing to make a move, Bai Wuxia would not have a smooth journey. He might even save Zhao Gao.
A strong cultivator who surpassed the Eight Absolutes, even for the mysterious and powerful Zhao family, would be a powerful and fresh force.
"Because my revenge is selective." Qiu Shou changed the topic and said word by word. "I will kill whoever I hate. Whoever I don't hate is not on my revenge list. "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng was slightly startled. "Is this your attitude, or the Zhao family's attitude?"
"What do you think?" Qiu Shou asked.
Xiao Zheng understood.
This was just Qiu Shou's attitude! Even Zhao Gao did not have such an attitude!
Zhao Gao even wanted to kill Xiao Zheng, how could he let go of the descendants of the powerful families who had a grudge against the Zhao family?
Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea and said with a complicated expression, "Boss Qiu, you mean —"
"Someone used me." A cold light flashed in Qiu Shou's unfathomable eyes. "That's why I'm very unhappy."
Who used Qiu Shou?
Everything about Qiu Shou seemed to be voluntary. Including killing Bai Ziwen, no one instructed her.
"Boss Xiao, do you know who the first person to assassinate Bai Wushuang was?" Qiu Shou said with narrowed eyes. "Do you know who the person who killed Dong Zang was?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's expression suddenly changed. He stared straight at Qiu Shou. "Who?"
"Don't look at me like that, Boss Xiao," Qiu Shou said slowly. "If you look at me like that, I will think that you suspect me. If you don't trust me, how can I tell you willingly? "
