Linghu Duyi drank a few glasses of wine and chatted with Xiao Zheng for a while before he got up and left.
Linghu Zhu hurriedly ran into the private room and looked at Xiao Zheng expectantly. "Boss Xiao, what did my father say?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head and sighed. "Young Master Linghu, I can't help even if I want to."
When Linghu Zhu heard this, he roughly knew that the conversation between his father and Xiao Zheng did not achieve the effect he had hoped for.
In fact, it was equivalent to wasting a whole night's time.
Linghu Zhu sat on the chair with a disappointed face. He looked a little sluggish as he lit a cigarette. "The old man is too pedantic," he said in a deep voice.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I don't deny it. Your father is indeed a little pedantic. "
After a pause, he added, "But he is indeed a good father."
Linghu Zhu smiled bitterly. He pursed his lips and said, "That's why I don't want him to be imprisoned."
Xiao Zheng said helplessly, "There are some things that we, the younger generation, can't control."
Linghu Zhu was like that, so was Xiao Zheng.
In the past few years, whether it was his mother-in-law, Bai Wuxia, or even the Ye Residence, they all advised Xiao Zheng not to get involved in this feud.
For Xiao Zheng, this was also an invisible pressure.
Linghu Zhu was facing the same pain this time. He wanted to help his father, but he did not know where to start.
After thanking Xiao Zheng, Linghu Zhu left Longfeng House in a daze. Only Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao were left in the private room. The latter raised her eyes slightly and asked hesitantly, "Is it very serious?"
"How can it not be serious when the Zhao family is involved?" Xiao Zheng said with narrowed eyes. "It seems that our good days are coming to an end."
"There is no movement from the Lin family for the time being," Shang Yao reminded carefully.
"A mere Bai Wushuang is not enough for Lin Laoyao to take action personally. Even Lin Laoyao can't do that. "Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head. "But I can assure you that once Lin Laoyao makes a move, he will be able to kill you. Even you, who seems to be an outsider, will definitely feel a headache and be surrounded by enemies. "
Shang Yao smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Since I've accepted the Yan Clan, I will have to face all the threats against the Yan Clan."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and fell silent.
This chaotic battle seemed to have little to do with Shang Yao and Xiao Zheng. But who knew the specifics?
As the saying goes, when the lips are cold, the teeth will die. Even if this battle did not involve Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao, could they really remain indifferent?
Xiao Zheng wanted to go with the flow and accept Linghu Zhu's invitation. However, Linghu Duyi's attitude was exceptionally unyielding. He didn't want anyone to get involved.
He even vaguely mentioned that even Linghu Duyi, who was not in the battlefield, was in great danger in this chaotic battle. He might not be able to keep his life!
Letting out a mouthful of impure air, Xiao Zheng's heart slowly sank.
"Boss Xiao, how do you predict this matter?" Shang Yao asked attentively.
"I'm not sure." Xiao Zheng shook his head and sighed. "Bai Wushuang's motive, Linghu Duyi's motive, including the Autumn Harvest operation …"
Xiao Zheng paused and glanced at Shang Yao, "Your father and the Bai Family are allies?"
"Yes." Shang Yao nodded her head solemnly.
"Then will he make a move?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Bai Wushuang was plotted by Shang Jingtian. In essence, the two of them were definitely not true allies. In truth, at this level, who would be eternal allies with whom?
But at least Shang Yao didn't know about this matter and Bai Wushuang might not be clear about it either.
Moreover …
If Bai Wushuang made a move, would the old monk just sit back and do nothing? Or would he help his only nephew to fight against the enemy?
Casually analyzing, this so-called war caused by Bai Wushuang seemed to have dragged most of the people into it!
"Boss Xiao, I think it's very likely that this battle will be all bark and no bite." Shang Yao's eyes glowed as she said meaningfully.
"Oh? Why does Miss Shang say that? "Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"For revenge, the Zhao Family might not need enough benefits to support it. But on the other hand, no matter if it's the Bai Family, my father, or other rich families. Without absolute benefits, they won't act rashly. So, this battle is very likely to be a small scale battle. With Bai Wushuang as the core … "Shang Yao said word by word. "A battle for revenge."
"From what you said, I seem to be Bai Wushuang's number one target for revenge." Xiao Zheng said with a bitter smile.
"Not necessarily." Shang Yao shook her head and explained. "Who is the real mastermind behind Bai Ziwen's death, everyone is very clear."
"Even if there is no clear answer about Bai Wushuang's disfigurement, at least Bai Ziwen's death was caused by Qiu Shou." Shang Yao said slowly. "So I guess that this time, Bai Wushuang's target is most likely Qiu Shou."
"With just the Bai Family's strength, they want to challenge the Zhao Family?" Xiao Zheng frowned. "Bai Wushuang is too arrogant."
Shang Yao heard this and said helplessly, "Boss Xiao, in life, there are things you can do and things you can't. It's not about whether you can do it or not, but whether you should do it or not. "
Xiao Zheng looked deeply at Shang Yao and said slowly, "I understand what you mean."
After a pause, he said softly, "Miss Shang, no matter what, I advise you not to get involved this time. Just as you have guessed, this time, for some people, it is just a battle with loud thunder but little rain. "
Shang Yao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Boss Xiao. If it is not necessary, I really do not plan to get involved."
Smiling, Shang Yao asked very seriously, "What about the other group of people?"
Xiao Zheng heard this and his eyes gradually became sharp. His face also revealed a cold expression, "A battle of life and death."
Shang Yao's heart sank, a strange expression flashed across her beautiful face, "Boss Xiao. In your opinion, my father — — will he get involved? "
Xiao Zheng laughed loudly, "Miss Shang, could it be that you still don't know your father's nickname?"
"The Eternal Second?" Shang Yao asked.
"Coward." Xiao Zheng said rather bluntly. "He is a complete old fox. When there is an opportunity to take advantage, he will always rush to the front. When it comes to charging and breaking through enemy lines, he will always hide behind his butt and take advantage of the wind. "
Even when his wife was killed by Mu Qingsong, he could endure it silently.
This Shang Jingtian's tolerance is not something an ordinary person can compare to.
People often say that Lin Laoyao cannot be seen through, cannot be seen through.
As for him, Shang Jingtian, when has anyone seen through him?
One must know, Shang Jingtian was repeatedly mentioned by Lu Dashan as a big shot of the same generation. Many times, he made Xiao Zheng be wary of this eternal second.
In fact, eternal second sounds like a derogatory term. But in Xiao Zheng's eyes, this is definitely a golden praise.
In other words, he is only under one person!
