When night falls, he will be the king?
When Sofia's words fell into Xiao Zheng's ears, the corners of his lips involuntarily curled into a strange smile, "Have you forgotten? "Did you forget that I am the world's number one?"
"Bill Gates is also the world's richest man. But is he? "Sophia tried to persuade Xiao Zheng with her professional opinion. "From what I know, there are at least ten tycoons in the world who are wealthier than him."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said calmly, "That's not a reason to stop me."
"In the West, I've never seen anyone survive after going against Ye Jun." Sophia frowned slightly. "In fact, he is no longer an ordinary assassin. He is a true powerhouse. "
"If I tell you that I am also a powerhouse, will you think that I am shameless?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
"I believe in your strength." Sophia frowned. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to kill Jones. But why don't you take a step back when you know that there is a huge risk involved? Didn't your Hua Xia always say that taking a step back is the way to go? "
"Just like repaying evil with kindness, there are always people who forget how to repay kindness." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said expressionlessly. "Sometimes, taking a step back is the way to go. Sometimes, there is a cliff behind you. How can you retreat? "
"Don't tell me you don't even care about Lin Huayin?" Sophia asked word by word. "You are only considering whether you have the ability to defeat Ye Jun. What if you can't? What about Lin Huayin? Can you bear to let her wait for you forever? "
Xiao Zheng's expression changed. He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to bring her up."
"I am just stating the facts." Sophia said.
"If I'm unlucky enough to lose to him …" Xiao Zheng's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Sophia. "I will inform you. By then, you will have the right to control the Fox Hunt. "
"Are you insulting me?" Sophia said unhappily. "Or are you mocking me?"
"I'm helping you." Xiao Zheng smiled.
"There's no need," Sofia said coldly. "I will rely on my own ability to get what I want. I don't need your help. "
"If you put it like that, it hurts me too much," Xiao Zheng said regretfully. "You should know that this is not the first time I have risked my life to help you."
Sofia's mind wavered, and her ice-cold face immediately melted. "It is precisely because of this that I hope you will make the right decision. Instead of pushing yourself into the abyss. "
"Until the very last moment, who will know the outcome?" Xiao Zheng took a sip of coffee and smiled. "I've experienced many dangerous situations in my life, but I've always been able to get through them safely. He didn't rely entirely on luck. I do have the strength. "
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was not listening to her advice, Sophia sighed and said, "Could it be that Lu Qier is already your woman?"
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Otherwise, what identity would you use to help her?" Sofia asked.
"Her father helped me, and so did her mother. Including her. She also helped me when I was in danger, "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Tell me, what reason do I have to watch coldly from the sidelines when she was in danger?"
Sophia shook her head lightly and pursed her lips. "But even if your decision isn't wrong, it isn't very right either."
"People always have to do things that they shouldn't do in life. Otherwise, how can they show that they are rebellious? "Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Sophia looked at Xiao Zheng with a perplexed expression, and finally gave up on the idea of continuing to persuade him.
"It's getting late." Xiao Zheng raised his hand to look at the time. "You're a lady alone at home. If I don't leave now, it won't look good."
"Why do I have to look good?" Sophia returned to her original appearance and said thoughtfully. "Isn't it fine as long as it's fun?"
Xiao Zheng fled, not daring to stay any longer. But Sophia's unbridled laughter came from behind him. It was like a ray of light in the silent night, extremely penetrating.
After returning to the hotel, Xiao Zheng greeted Tang Ming and Shen Han, then returned to his room to report his schedule to Lin Huayin.
Because of the time difference, it was noon at Mingzhu, so Xiao Zheng wasn't worried that he would disturb Lin Huayin's rest.
"You can't skip dinner when I'm not around." Xiao Zheng laid on the bed and reminded her in a relaxed mood. "I left a box of dumplings in the fridge before I left. I made them myself. They're clean and hygienic. If you're too lazy to cook, you can make a few. They should be able to last until I get home. "
If it was in the past, Lin Huayin definitely wouldn't have the patience to listen to Xiao Zheng's small talk. In fact, when Lin Huayin occasionally heard her subordinates make this kind of home call, she was rather disgusted. Firstly, it was because of the trauma from her childhood. Secondly, as a workaholic, she didn't think it was necessary to call home during work. But at this moment, when she picked up Xiao Zheng's overseas call and heard the familiar and caring words coming from the other side of the phone, she couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart. She enjoyed it very much.
"Mm. Got it. "Lin Huayin suppressed her surging emotions and said calmly. "Take care of your body. It's just a test. Don't work too hard. "
"Ha. Don't you know what kind of person I am? "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "If there's any hard work, I'll let Tang Ming and the rest do it. As the supervisor of the overseas external department, how can I do everything by myself? Wouldn't I lose my authority as a leader? "
Listening to Xiao Zheng's joke. Lin Huayin's lips curled up into a beautiful arc. She pursed her lips and said, "Alright."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Knock knock.
Just as Xiao Zheng hung up, someone knocked on the door. Tang Ming's hoarse shout came from outside.
"Xiao Zheng, it's time for supper!"
Xiao Zheng opened the door in annoyance and glared at Shen Han and Tang Ming, who were standing at the door. "It's already one in the morning and you still dare to eat supper? Aren't you afraid of getting fat? "
Shen Han felt very embarrassed and explained in a low voice, "It was Tang Ming who suggested it —"
"I'm talking about Tang Ming!" Xiao Zheng glared at Tang Ming. "Whose treat?"
"Me!" Tang Ming waved his hand and said straightforwardly.
"Alright then. I'll go change my clothes. "Xiao Zheng slammed the door and went to change.
Shen Han, who followed him into the room, glanced at Tang Ming and deliberately lowered her voice. "Is Mr. Xiao always like this?"
Tang Ming grinned and said, "You'll get used to it after spending some time with him. This guy has a sharp tongue. But he's quite generous. He says he wants me to treat him, but he secretly pays the bill every time to show his generosity. "When the time comes, don't fight with him for the bill. He'll get angry."
"He definitely won't!" Shen Han promised.
The three of them left the hotel and hailed a taxi. Just as Xiao Zheng was about to get into the car, he caught a glimpse of a mysterious figure from the corner of his eye. When his gaze swept over, the mysterious figure quickly dove into the darkness. His reaction was extremely fast.
