When Xiao Zheng heard this, an absurd smile appeared on his face.
He raised his eyes slightly and stared at Linghu Zhu's handsome and serious face. After a long while, he said with a serious expression, "Young Master Linghu, do you know your father's strength?"
Linghu Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Of course. Father has never hidden anything from me."
Shang Yao's face revealed a hint of awkwardness as soon as she said that.
Linghu Duyi had never concealed this from his son, Linghu Zhu. From start to finish, Shang Jingtian had never been honest with his daughter. The difference between the two fathers in the way they conducted themselves and how they did things was clear.
"Since you know, then you should understand even more. The Eight Ultimates are the strongest in Hua Xia, or even the entire world. "Xiao Zheng smiled and asked. "If even your father can't protect himself, what's the point of me coming forward?"
Linghu Zhu firmly shook his head and said, "Boss Xiao. Although I am not a martial artist, I am not a martial artist. However, I also know that in your world, the Eight Ultimates aren't the top existences. Whether it's Bai Wuxia or Boss Xiao, both of them are existences that surpass the Eight Ultimate Masters. "
"In my father's words, above the Eight Absolutes, there is still the Grandmaster realm," Linghu Zhu said frankly. "As for the Zhao family, they are probably the family with the most experts in the world. None of them. "
Xiao Zheng was convinced by Linghu Zhu's words.
In fact, whether it was the birth of spring or the growth of summer, or the harvest of autumn, or Zhao Gao. His strength was not to be underestimated. This was especially true for Qiu Shou. Xiao Zheng firmly believed that this woman's strength was definitely not below his own. She might have even reached the Master Realm. Otherwise, how could she be so indifferent when facing the furious old monk?
In other words, she was not afraid of Bai Wuxia at all!
Then, what about Lin Laoyao? He was Zhao Zhangfeng's biological son! A legitimate direct descendant of the Zhao Family!
Speaking of the experts of the Zhao Clan, it was truly a place where experts were as common as clouds. Any one of them would be able to do as they pleased in Huaxia.
What's more, behind the Zhao family, there was a truly terrifying king!
A great man that even the autumn harvest could not resist!
He was Lin Laoyao's big brother!
It was not surprising that Linghu Zhu was worried that his father might lose his life in this incident. Perhaps his understanding of the Zhao family was no less than his own. Or even more. After all, Linghu Duyi owed the Zhao Clan a favor. They had close contact with each other on a daily basis. How could he not know some secrets?
However, Xiao Zheng only smiled reservedly and said: "Young Master Linghu, you should know very well that I'm not an ordinary person. My wife just gave birth to a lovely son for me. He was only a little over a year old. It was the perfect time for him to have fun. If I didn't have enough benefits or a reason, why would I put myself in danger? "
"This isn't just irresponsible for myself. Furthermore, it would be irresponsible to my family, "Xiao Zheng said in a heartfelt tone. "Let's talk about business in the office. Whether they lacked money or manpower, it was easy to say. Anyway, I don't care too much about things like money that are given and returned. But I only have one life. My son only has me as his father. I don't intend to let him find a man who is not related by blood to be his stepfather. My wife won't do it either. "
Xiao Zheng said it very frankly and straightforwardly. But he had expressed his reason clearly.
There were some things that he would not easily touch unless it involved his own interests. Moreover, did Linghu Zhu's danger come from the Zhao family or from other sources?
If Xiao Zheng agreed this time, it was very likely that he would shoot himself in the foot in the future.
Because Linghu Duyi was working for the Zhao family. In the future, he might fight against the Zhao family's enemy. The Ye residence? The Bai family? Or the Yan family?
No matter who it was, it was not convenient for Xiao Zheng to intervene.
Linghu Zhu seemed to have expected Xiao Zheng's answer. He was also very clear that his request was indeed a bit difficult.
It would be fine if his father had the same purpose as Xiao Zheng. But now, his father was working for the Zhao family. It was against Xiao Zheng's original intention.
What right did Xiao Zheng have to stand up for Linghu Zhu?
Moreover, the Linghu family might have a very strong influence and foundation in the northeast. But for the current Xiao Zheng, a mere Linghu family was not enough for him to risk his life.
Which of his allies and partners was weaker than the Linghu family?
Whether it was for official or personal reasons, Linghu Zhu's request was too much for Xiao Zheng.
The answer was obvious. Linghu Zhu also knew that tonight would not be too smooth. But before he got the result, he still felt very uncomfortable.
The relationship between him and his father had always been very deep. And Linghu Duyi's care for his son had also reached the extreme. Not only did he never give him any pressure, but he also fully supported his decisions under any circumstances.
It was also because of the care of such a loving father that Linghu Zhu's temperament as gentle as jade came into being. It was enough to make Linghu Zhu shine and be respected by people today.
Linghu Zhu drank two cups of wine to drown his sorrows. It was not convenient for Shang Yao to say anything. Tonight's dinner was arranged by her. Xiao Zheng's agreement was giving her a lot of face. If he did not agree, Shang Yao also did not dare to say a word.
Like Linghu Zhu, she also knew that this matter was not feasible. If Xiao Zheng agreed, it would be no different from a pie falling from the sky.
Although Linghu Zhu still tried her best to maintain the atmosphere, the meal gradually became dull. Although Linghu Zhu still wanted to maintain the atmosphere, his heavy mood and worry for his father made him reveal a deep sense of loss on his face.
Xiao Zheng toyed with the wine cup. After drinking two cups, he suddenly said helplessly, "In the past, I always wanted to make a few more friends, especially friends with status like you. In the future, I would be able to do things in a more glorious and prestigious manner. But now it seems that I am still too shallow. "
"Glorious and have face, but the trouble that comes with it will also be infinitely magnified."
Xiao Zheng laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Young Master Linghu, if there is time, I would like to meet your father. I wonder if you can arrange it? "
Linghu Zhu heard this and immediately beamed. He nodded and said, "Of course! When does Boss Xiao have time? "
"Do I look like I'm busy right now?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Linghu Zhu understood Xiao Zheng's hint. He immediately got up and walked out of the private room. He took out his phone and contacted Linghu Duyi. Shang Yao, who was in the private room, gave Xiao Zheng a deep look. "Boss Xiao, you're still giving me face."
Without waiting for Xiao Zheng to speak, Shang Yao showed a gentle expression and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "I didn't agree to anything. I just want to meet the Northeast King and have a cup of wine. As for the rest, we can talk about it after sorting it out. "
Shang Yao smiled and said, "I have already discussed it with Linghu Zhu before coming. If Boss Xiao doesn't make a move, I won't make any move. But if Boss Xiao is willing to nod, I will also go all out. At least, I won't let Boss Xiao suffer too much loss. "
