Yen Teng-kuei's words seemed to be understated, but in fact, it was extremely sharp. It was as if he was stabbing at Xiao Zheng with an imperial sword in his hand. It was hard for Xiao Zheng to defend himself.
Yes.
As a special envoy, Yen Teng-kuei did have the capital to do so. No one dared to stop him from investigating. Even if there were policies and countermeasures, they wouldn't be too blatant to fool Yen Teng-kuei. In fact, even if Yan Dengkui was just playing a small trick, it might seem like he was just testing his strength, but it could still cause fatal damage to the black bear and Shen Manjun.
This was probably the helplessness of being in the presence of power.
After leaving the Lin family, Yen Teng-kuei showed the face that Xiao Zheng had expected. But it also made him helpless. At least for the time being, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with Yen Teng-kuei's sharp words. After all, he didn't engage in politics, and he wasn't a gangster. To be the pivot between the two, he had to coordinate the conflicts and disputes between the two. Xiao Zheng's twenty years of life experience was still too weak and powerless.
"Mr. Xiao, have you ever heard of the saying 'a fine bird chooses a fine tree'?" Yen Teng-kuei smiled. He saw through Xiao Zheng's mind, and he also knew that facing the pressure of the inspection team, even if Xiao Zheng had something to rely on, it would be hard for him to have a perfect plan.
This was his biggest trump card over Xiao Zheng.
"I don't like to compare humans with beasts." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said with a serious face. "This is an insulting word."
"But most of the time, it's a wise choice." Yen Teng-kuei said calmly.
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Zheng asked back.
"Leave Lin Huayin." Yen Teng-kuei didn't hide his intention, and his intention was clear. "Maybe I will consider not to embarrass you too much."
"You've already embarrassed me." Xiao Zheng took a drag of his cigarette and said calmly.
"Then I'm sorry," Yen Teng-kuei said casually. "I didn't expect you to have such a strong ego."
"I didn't expect that the person that Lin Chaotian has taken a liking to would be so unbearable." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes as a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"What are you talking about?" Yen Teng-kuei asked indifferently.
"I didn't say anything. You're the one talking. "
Xiao Zheng picked up the cigarette lighter hidden in his palm. With a crisp sound, a highly restored voice rang out, "Leave Lin Huayin. Maybe I'll consider not embarrassing you too much. "
Crack.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yen Teng-kuei's face was filled with shock and anger. He said coldly, "Do you think you can threaten me with this?"
Xiao Zheng smiled, "I have more. Do you want to hear them all?"
Yen Teng-kuei said in a deep voice, "Do you think you can gain the upper hand with just a few words?"
"No, I'm not trying to gain the upper hand." Xiao Zheng shook his head as he took a drag of his cigarette. "But I want to tell you. Lin Huayin is mine. You can't take her away, not even if you want to. Secondly, this is Pearl City, not Yan Jing. You may think that you have a background, a backer, and the power given by the central government. You can do whatever you want. But have you heard of the saying that the emperor is far away? "
"As long as I want, Pearl City will be paralyzed tonight. And the reason is because a member of the inspection team landed in this peaceful city. "Xiao Zheng put out his cigarette and said with a smile. "Chief Yan. Do you know? Some people can start over as long as they don't die. There were also some who, even if it was just a fall, could no longer stand up. I'm the former. Are you the latter? "
Yen Teng-kuei had a complicated expression on his handsome face as a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had lost the first battle tonight. He had been utterly defeated. He didn't exaggerate his power, but he underestimated Xiao Zheng's intelligence. First, he didn't expect Xiao Zheng to record his conversation. Second, he didn't expect Xiao Zheng to be so bold. He actually used the security of the entire city to pressure him.
Just as Xiao Zheng said, if chaos broke out in Pearl City on the first day of his arrival. It was foreseeable that he would receive an emergency summon from his old leader or even from Yan Jing the next morning. Perhaps even the inspection team wouldn't be able to tolerate him anymore.
Xiao Zheng said that some people might not be able to stand up again after falling. Yen Teng-kuei wouldn't be so useless, but he wasn't willing to take the risk. As everyone knew, it was hard to erase a bad record in politics. It was also the most lethal weapon that could be used by the enemy.
"You're smarter than I thought."
After a long silence, Yen Teng-kuei continued, "But you underestimated my determination."
"I call this determination ignorance," Xiao Zheng said flatly.
"The real ignorance is knowing the difficulties and not retreating. It's self-righteousness. It's arrogance. "Yen Teng-kuei asked with a cold gaze. "How many did you take?"
"You took all of them." Xiao Zheng retorted.
Yen Teng-kuei shrugged and said, "You also have a smart-ass."
"If you're not smart-ass, how can you judge that I'm smart-ass?" Xiao Zheng squinted and said. "Chief Yan. There are many ghosts at night, so I won't see you off. "
After that, Xiao Zheng turned around and went home. He left Yen Teng-kuei alone.
…
When Xiao Zheng returned home, Lin Xiaozhu was helping Lin Huayin clean up the living room. Seeing Xiao Zheng came back, he quickly jumped over and asked, "How was the chat?"
"What do you mean how?" Xiao Zheng pretended nothing had happened.
"Pfft. Why are you pretending to be a big white rabbit? "Lin Xiaozhu curled his lips. "When you men are jealous, don't you all fight?"
"Do you really want a man to fight for you?" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and smirked.
"I'm not that bored." Lin Xiaozhu's eyes twinkled and walked to the kitchen. "My sister asked you to go upstairs to find her when you come back."
"She didn't say why?" Xiao Zheng was most afraid that Lin Huayin would take the initiative to find him. Eleven out of ten times, she was looking for trouble. He was ready to escape and find a black bear to have a midnight snack.
"Don't try to run." As a sister-in-law, Lin Xiaozhu certainly knew the way Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin got along. "Brother-in-law, be honest. Don't make my sister angry anymore. "
After saying that, he went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving Xiao Zheng alone in the living room.
Xiao Zheng touched his chin and walked back and forth in the living room a few times. Only then did he pluck up the courage to go upstairs. He thought to himself, "I, Xiao Zheng, am a man. Why would I be afraid of a woman who has no strength to truss a chicken? If she wants to find trouble with me, I'll throw her out with an over-the-shoulder throw. Then I'll use an old tree root to press her to the head of the bed so that she can't move. "
As he said that, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and muttered, "But why is my heart beating so fast? Could it be that the myocardial infarction that I haven't had for many years has finally relapsed? No, I have to take two pills first to prevent a sudden heart attack and die. "
As he was about to go downstairs to get the medicine, the door suddenly opened. Lin Huayin in pajamas with a calm face appeared at the door, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to make you some milk." Xiao Zheng had an idea in the emergency.
"No need." Lin Huayin said and turned back to the room without looking back. "Come in."
