Of course, the Tokyo Imperial Palace could not be compared to the Forbidden City. The former was just a small imperial palace on a small island country. The latter was the historical symbol of Hua Xia's vast territory and abundant resources.
Shang Jingtian soon disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao Zheng's tracking ability was also very strong.
The former kept stabbing, while the latter kept getting closer. Like a cat catching a mouse, neither could get rid of the other.
However, as Xiao Zheng chased, he found that Shang Jingtian did not seem to want to leave the imperial palace. Instead, he was approaching a mansion that was not luxurious.
"What is this old fox trying to do?" Xiao Zheng was shocked, but he did not think too much and quickly chased after Shang Jingtian.
In less than five minutes, Xiao Zheng was already close to Shang Jingtian. The old man was panting from running. It was also because he had been in a stalemate with Xiao Zheng for too long, causing his physical strength to decline. Otherwise, with his comprehensive strength, he would not be panting like this even if he ran three streets away from the imperial palace.
Bang!
Shang Jingtian knocked over a palace maid who passed by the door. Then, he broke the door and pulled out a man who was definitely not a stranger to Xiao Zheng!
His Majesty, Ling Lai's father!
Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly, but he was stopped by Shang Jingtian, "Boss Xiao, you better stand outside the door! If you dare to step into the room, I will kill him! "
Xiao Zheng did not dare to move again for fear of injuring the old man.
But in his heart, he was vexed.
If he knew that this old fox had so many tricks up his sleeves, he would not have let his guard down. Even if he was injured, he should have killed this old thing on the spot!
"Boss Shang, didn't you want to fight with me alone? Why did you pull out this old man? Are you afraid that I will scold you? "Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and said. It was very heart-wrenching.
"Xiao Zheng, you don't have to instigate me. I will not be provoked so easily. "Shang Jingtian snorted. A sharp dagger was pressed against Ling Lai's father's neck.
On the other hand, Ling Lai's father did not show much panic on his face. He only said in a low voice, "I'm just a nobody. It's meaningless for you to capture me."
"Nobody?" Shang Jingtian sneered. "Do you think I don't know who you are? If you were in our Hua Xia, you would be called the Retired Emperor! "
"But this isn't Hua Xia, isn't it?" Ling Lai's father shook his head lightly. He didn't seem to be pretending to be calm, but he really wasn't afraid.
Shang Jingtian glanced at Ling Lai's father coldly. "If you want to live, then cut the crap."
Hearing this, Ling Lai's father smiled slightly and said, "Whether you want to live or not depends on how you plan to use my life. If you want too high a reward, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you even if I want to live. "
When he said this, there was a smile on his face. Xiao Zheng was a little confused.
They were all kidnapped.
Why wasn't he afraid at all?
Could it be that he never wanted to escape from Shang Jingtian's hands alive?
Xiao Zheng had met this person a few times. Although he didn't know him well, he had a basic understanding of him.
Ling Lai's father had been living under the shadow of Ling Lai's mother, that powerful woman. As a fallen aristocrat, he didn't have the right to choose his own life. Later, as the father of the Emperor, his status seemed to rise, and he also had his own territory in the palace. But to Ling Lai's father, it was more like a mockery than a fluke after suffering.
In his early years, he was a talented young man. His identity as an aristocrat made him a favored son of heaven. Until he was chosen by Ling Lai's mother, that Princess Royal.
After their marriage, they gave birth to Ling Lai.
What should have been a happy and harmonious life didn't come as he wished. His wife cheated on a rich businessman, and his daughter suddenly became a cripple. These successive blows instantly crushed the talented young father.
All these years, he was used to being invisible. He lived a more monotonous life than an old monk, and never used his daughter's name to call the wind and summon the rain outside. In fact, ever since his daughter ascended the throne, he cut off all contact with the outside world. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that people would see him as a bridge to make friends with His Majesty.
He didn't want to cause trouble for his daughter, and even more so, he didn't want to be looked down upon by women.
All these years, he lived a low-profile and peaceful life.
However, Shang Jingtian's arrival had shattered his pitiful life.
His Majesty Ling Lai came late.
But she still came.
When her subordinates told her this news, for a moment, she felt that it was an extremely terrible and terrible news. Because the one who was kidnapped was her biological father.
But when she came to the door, she saw her father's calm and serene face. Her heart also calmed down.
All these years, her father always looked at her so kindly and calmly. He had no desires. He didn't complain because of his sad life, nor was he proud of his success.
Her mother's resentment, her desire to become stronger, had nothing to do with her father.
He lived a clean life. And was calm.
No one would have thought that the one who was kidnapped was her father. A man who didn't seem to exist. A man who would be ignored by anyone.
"Your Majesty, you're here?" Shang Jingtian's lips curled into a calm smile.
Shang Jingtian's nervous heart finally relaxed.
He had thought, if Her Majesty Ling Lai didn't appear, what would he do?
After all, Her Majesty Ling Lai was a woman who killed her biological mother. Would she even care about the father of a mere little noble?
But in the end, Her Majesty Ling Lai still came.
Her willingness to come proved that she didn't want anything to happen to her father. And she wanted to discuss a solution with him.
"Whether I come or not has nothing to do with this matter," Her Majesty Ling Lai answered without hesitation. "The one who wants to kill you tonight is Boss Xiao."
"But this is your territory, isn't it?" Shang Jingtian said calmly.
"I can control anyone, except Boss Xiao," Her Majesty Ling Lai said calmly.
"If that's the case, I won't ask Your Majesty to force Boss Xiao," Shang Jingtian said word by word. "Hand over my daughter and prepare a car for me. This matter will be settled. "
As soon as he said this, he looked at Her Majesty Ling Lai.
Shang Jingtian knew that his request was too much. With Her Majesty Ling Lai's temperament, he might not agree to everything. But it was business, of course, he had to raise the price first. If not, he could lower the price. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a way out.
But to Shang Jingtian's surprise, when he stated his conditions, Her Majesty Ling Lai sneered for no reason. Then, she pushed the wheelchair and left.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind Xiao Zheng, "Boss Xiao, try to get my father's corpse intact."
