Yoto Palace.
Inside King Ling Lai's study room.
She was sitting in a wheelchair, elegantly brewing tea. Opposite him sat a woman who was dressed casually. She had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament. One look and you could tell she was not an ordinary woman.
Who was this woman?
She was the daughter of the eternal second son, Shang Jingtian, Shang Yao.
During this period of time, she had been wandering in several cities. As soon as she received Yan Hong's reminder, she rushed to Tokyo immediately.
The tea was sweet and fragrant, and the desserts on the table were exquisite. Shang Yao was drinking the tea absent-mindedly, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"What's wrong?" King Ling Lai took a sip of tea and smiled. "Do you want to go home?"
"I don't dare to think so." Shang Yao looked up and smiled. "Your Majesty, do you think my father will let me go if I go back now?"
"But if you don't go back, it will force him to make a bad plan." King Ling Lai raised his eyebrows. "You know his plan very well. He won't be willing to fall behind. And your 10 billion will affect his entire plan. "
"That's my money." Shang Yao slowly put down the teacup. "Grandpa gave it to me. He doesn't have the right to use it. "
"That's not important." King Ling Lai shook his head lightly. "People only know that you, as a daughter, went against your father's will. You would rather collude with outsiders to encroach on the family's funds than let your father take care of it. "
"I don't care about how the world sees me." Shang Yao sighed softly. "Otherwise, why would I be willing to be an idiot back then?"
"The history of this world is always written by the strong. When I reach the top, who cares about the mistakes I made back then? Plus — "Shang Yao said word by word. "I don't think I did anything wrong."
King Ling Lai became silent and slowly sipped his tea.
Shang Yao glanced at Ling Lai's legs from the corner of her eyes and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty — when can you stand up?"
"Who knows?" His Majesty Ling Lai smiled. He seemed to be quite open-minded. "I've been doing physical therapy recently, and the effect is much better than before. At least, I can feel the existence of these legs. "
"That's good." Shang Yao nodded lightly and said solemnly. "One day, you will stand up again."
"Thank you for your kind words," King Ling Lai smiled and said. "If you don't want to go back for the time being, you can stay here with me. At least with me around, Shang Jingtian wouldn't have the guts to do anything to you. "
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Shang Yao casually replied. "Other places might not have the ability to protect me."
King Ling Lai smiled and said, "That might not be the case." After a short pause, Ling Lai continued. "If you stay with Boss Xiao, he can guarantee your safety."
"Him?" Shang Yao's expression became serious and a little sad when Xiao Zheng was mentioned. "I don't dare to stay with him …"
King Ling Lai fell into silence.
"What about His Majesty?" Shang Yao looked up and asked. "You've done a lot for him over the years. Now, even these legs — — have you ever regretted it? "
"No." Ling Lai picked up the teacup and took two sips. "Meeting him is the only good thing that has happened in my life."
…
Xiao Zheng was worried about Shang Yao's situation.
She was a smart woman, but she didn't have a strong enough body. Once Shang Jingtian went berserk, he would no longer care about their father-daughter relationship. No one could predict what he would do.
It was just like what he and Linghu Zhu had discussed. If Shang Jingtian wanted to get the ten billion back, he would have to make Shang Yao ask for it. Or, he would have to make Shang Yao never ask for it, and he would have to ask for it himself as her father.
These were the only two options.
Obviously, the first option was not feasible.
There was only one answer.
Kill Shang Yao!
Ding, ding, ding.
An overseas call was made. Xiao Zheng picked it up and walked slowly to the French window. "Hello, Your Majesty."
It was Ling Lai.
Xiao Zheng remembered that His Majesty was Shang Yao's classmate and friend.
"She is here. Boss Xiao, don't worry." As soon as the call was connected, Ling Lai dispelled Xiao Zheng's worries.
"Sorry for the trouble." Xiao Zheng smiled. He was completely relieved.
With Ling Lai around, no matter how daring Shang Jingtian was, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.
It should be noted that the Zhao family made a move because the palace wasn't stable. Moreover, someone supported him to do so. It could be considered as borrowing power.
But now, Ling Lai had full control of the royal family. Even the cabinet didn't dare to step out of line.
Under such circumstances, would Shang Jingtian dare to go overboard with his business?
"Boss Xiao, are you thanking me on behalf of Shang Yao?" Ling Lai asked cunningly.
"…" Xiao Zheng was stunned. He was a little emotional. "I remember now. Your Majesty is Shang Yao's classmate. It's natural for them to help each other. "
"Boss Xiao, you're still as eloquent as ever." Ling Lai smiled and said. "This time, I'm passing two messages on behalf of Shang Yao. First, Boss Xiao can use the funds without worry. She won't withdraw the funds for any reason. Second, she will stay in the palace temporarily to accompany me. It's lonely deep in the palace. "
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, but he was speechless.
Was it Shang Yao who was lonely or King Ling Lai?
There were some topics that Xiao Zheng didn't dare to touch. His luck with women had turned into a disaster. He was walking on thin ice and was in a dilemma.
After ending the conversation with King Ling Lai, Xiao Zheng calmed himself down and went back to work.
The overseas market was temporarily back on track. Under the advertising campaign, the sales of the Phantom series reached a new peak. After receiving a large amount of investment, the entertainment project had a strong international appeal. Linghu Zhu even organized a grand global celebrity ceremony. Spread the grand occasion of the Great Entertainment Festival to the whole world.
In this regard, some of the channels and resources under Xin Ao had also put in a lot of effort. Soon, big entertainment became a hot topic in the country. The heavy bombs that Linghu Zhu had been preparing for a long time were also launched one after another. He had shocked the media and the onlookers. Its influence even seeped overseas, and its momentum was fierce.
Just as the good news came one after another, Xiao Zheng received bad news from the old monk.
Under Lin Laoyao's ferocious attacks, his mother-in-law seemed to be unable to hold on. And the reason was that there was a problem with the capital chain.
Xiao Zheng had predicted this a long time ago. And in terms of time, his mother-in-law had lasted three months longer than expected.
It was a heaven-defying performance.
"Xiao Zheng, I have an immature idea," Bai Wuxia said hesitantly. "If your Xin Ao has sufficient funds, then you will have to pay for it. Can you take out some to help your mother-in-law through this difficult time? "
