On the way home, Lin Huayin said fairly, "You did a good job."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and rubbed his brows. "I'm still not as good as you, father-in-law. He thought of everything I said. What he said, I neglected. "
"Your social skills are limited to interpersonal relationships. He doesn't care about interpersonal relationships, but he's very good at dividing interests. "Lin Huayin pursed her lips. "Otherwise, how do you think he could lead the Lin Group to where it is today?"
Xiao Zheng agreed with her.
That's right. Lin Laoyao was proud and aloof, but all the companies that cooperated with the Lin Group made a lot of money. Even if they were scolded by Lin Laoyao, it would not affect their intention to cooperate with the Lin Group.
It was business after all. The first rule was to make money.
How many people could reach the top if they wanted to save face?
There was only one Lin Laoyao. Not everyone could create countless miracles like him.
Xiao Zheng reflected, "Actually, it's tiring for me to face all my partners with an amiable attitude for a long time. I've wronged myself many times to build a good image. Now that I think about it, it's not necessary sometimes. I'm a businessman, a boss, and not an old monk who cultivates his morals. It's understandable that I have a temper. "
Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng. "When it's time to be friendly, be friendly. When it's not necessary, be a little tough. It might not affect the outcome of the cooperation."
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded. "It's never too late to learn."
The couple drove home. They had been busy for half a day and were tired. After washing up, they went to bed. Old Lin fell asleep quickly, but Xiao Zheng's mind was filled with Xin Ao's development plan. After confirming the basic principles, he fell into a deep sleep with satisfaction.
But in the middle of the night, Xiao Zheng was awakened by a faint text message.
Recently, Xiao Zheng was also under a lot of pressure from work, so his spirit was a little weak. Otherwise, with his state of returning to an ordinary life for many years, it was basically impossible for him to be awakened by such a weak and short sound.
He opened his eyes slightly, picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was from His Majesty Ling Lai.
He opened the message: Shang Jingtian has made his move.
These six short words revealed an extremely serious signal!
Shang Yao was no longer safe!
Xiao Zheng fully acknowledged Shang Jingtian's strength. Even if he were to personally make a move, he was not completely confident that he could defeat the other party. But now, he really launched an attack on his daughter, Shang Yao.
Obviously, Shang Jingtian couldn't tolerate a large sum of money flowing into a major entertainment project.
Only when Shang Yao dies for no reason can the funds be transferred to him, the eldest son of the Yan family. Only then could it be used by him.
So, for the sake of ambition and ambition, he really decided to sacrifice his only daughter!
Xiao Zheng got up, picked up his phone, and left the bedroom.
Beep beep.
After a short ring, the call went through.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zheng frowned and asked. "Did Shang Jingtian break into the palace?"
"Not yet" His Majesty Ling Lai's voice was a bit tired, but very calm. "Today, Shang Yao wanted to go out for a walk because she's been holding it in for too long. I didn't go with her myself because it wasn't convenient. But I also arranged for a few capable subordinates to protect her. Even the place she went to was specially designated. But I didn't think — — "
After a short pause, Ling Lai slowly said: "An assassination still happened"
Through Ling Lai's introduction, Xiao Zheng confirmed that there were two bodyguards and one civilian. Even Shang Yao was hit by a stray bullet. Hit on the shoulder. She's already out of danger, but is still bedridden. Her injuries were quite severe.
Xiao Zheng frowned: "Are you sure it was Shang Jingtian who did it?"
"Other than him, who else would have such a huge grudge against Shang Yao? Why would he want to kill her? "His Majesty Ling Lai asked back.
Other than Shang Jingtian, who else could it be?
Xiao Zheng asked himself, Lin Laoyao wasn't completely innocent. But according to Xiao Zheng's understanding of his father-in-law. He shouldn't be so despicable as to use assassination to achieve his goal. At least, he wouldn't do such a despicable thing to Shang Yao.
Then, just like what His Majesty Ling Lai said, Shang Jingtian was the biggest suspect.
"If it was a gun, then we can't prove that Shang Jingtian did it himself, or did it remotely," Xiao Zheng mumbled to himself.
"That's why I'm looking for you," His Majesty Ling Lai said in a serious tone. "If it's just remotely, then I'm under less pressure. If he came to Yoto — — Shang Yao not only couldn't leave the palace. Even the interior of the palace must be fortified. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that Shang Jingtian, one of the Eight Absolutes, wouldn't sneak in. "
Xiao Zheng nodded, "Understood, I'll investigate Shang Jingtian's whereabouts."
After pausing for a moment, His Majesty Ling Lai suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Boss Xiao, I have another question."
"What is it?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"If Shang Yao died on my side, would you blame me?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked straightforwardly.
"Why do you ask?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously. His heart sank slightly.
"I'm the Emperor. I'm not anyone's bodyguard, nor am I anyone's backing. I can take care of her due to our relationship as classmates. But it's a bit difficult for me to risk my life to ensure her safety, "Her Majesty Ling Lai said frankly. "Not to mention, we're facing a terrifying Ranker this time."
Xiao Zheng felt rather helpless in his heart when he heard this.
His Majesty Ling Lai was not a philanthropist. To a certain extent, he was a schemer who prioritized benefits above all else. Her Majesty Ling Lai had given Xiao Zheng a lot of face by persisting until now for such a strenuous and unrewarding task.
Continue?
This was not in line with His Majesty Ling Lai's style of not doing anything without benefits.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Xiao Zheng sighed in his heart, but he still forced himself to ask.
"If the conditions allow it, after Shang Yao recovers, you'll come and bring her back?" His Majesty Ling Lai said cruelly. "Right now, Shang Yao is like a ticking time bomb that could be ignited at any time and blow Shang Jingtian out."
Xiao Zheng frowned, "She'll be in even more danger if she returns. After all, Tokyo isn't Shang Jingtian's territory. He needs to consider more before he does anything. "
"That's not what I need to worry about," His Majesty Ling Lai said calmly. "Shang Yao got into trouble because of that fund. Mr. Xiao, as the one with vested interests, you should do something, right? "
After listening to His Majesty Ling Lai's narration, Xiao Zheng had a splitting headache. But he couldn't think of any other way to solve this problem. Bring her back now? Wouldn't that be like sending a lamb into a tiger's mouth?
But judging from His Majesty Ling Lai's attitude, leaving Shang Yao in Tokyo wasn't the best choice.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Zheng pursed his lips, "I only hope that before Shang Yao recovers, His Majesty Ling Lai can do his best to ensure her safety. I believe that Shang Jingtian doesn't have the guts to break into the palace. "
