A person who sent an expert to assassinate him openly told him that they were not enemies, and there was no evidence that they would become enemies in the future.
If it were you, what would you think?
If it were you, would you believe his words?
At least from Xiao Zheng's point of view, Shang Jingtian's theory was a little high and low. Not many people could understand the true meaning of his words. Or perhaps, there was no such thing as true meaning in the first place. He said that just to persuade Xiao Zheng not to kill him.
Of course, from another perspective, Xiao Zheng was able to enter the Shang Clan smoothly and enter Shang Jingtian's study room without any obstruction. Didn't this prove that Shang Jingtian was arrogant enough to think that Xiao Zheng wouldn't dare to kill him? Or, he believed that Xiao Zheng could understand what he was saying.
But in reality, could Xiao Zheng understand? Would he leave willingly?
He took out the cigarette that General Qi had given him, lit one, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. "I will take what you said just now as a threat."
"You're a smart person." Shang Jingtian smiled. "So I won't use official language to communicate with you."
After a brief pause, Shang Jingtian took a sip of tea and calmly said, "You can defeat He Zhuguo. Then I have every reason to believe that you know it better than I do. He was also more knowledgeable. Isn't it? "
Xiao Zheng knew what Shang Jingtian was hinting at.
An expert hidden in Shang clan.
And there was more than one.
The closer they got to the heart of Shang clan, the stronger the pressure, and the more danger they could smell. Xiao Zheng believed that if Shang Jingtian hadn't informed him beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to enter Shang Jingtian's study so easily. In fact, he might not even be able to enter.
This was probably Xiao Zheng's only advantage. Don't be pretentious, don't easily overestimate yourself. Of course, the fact that he dared to come in and sit in Shang Jingtian's study to drink tea and smoke meant that although he wasn't arrogant, he wasn't someone who belittled himself.
"From your point of view, there is absolutely no need for you to meet me." Xiao Zheng slowly retracted the killing intent on his body.
"Yes." Shang Jingtian smiled. "It's very necessary."
"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Before tonight, or rather, before this happened. I really have no interest in meeting you. But now, I'm very willing and feel that it's necessary. "Shang Jingtian smiled.
"Why?" Xiao Zheng repeated.
"That's because you are the first young talent to come out unscathed after causing such a huge disaster in Yanjing." Shang Jingtian said.
"As far as I know, Uncle Bai was even crazier back then," Xiao Zheng said.
"You only see the good side of him. You didn't see the price he paid for it. "Shang Jingtian didn't hide anything and spoke frankly. "As you know, he caused a huge commotion in Yanjing and won the fame of Hua Xia. But because of this, he retreated to White City. He lost the capital to establish himself in Yanjing. Otherwise, Emperor Bai wouldn't be the Emperor Bai of today. "
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Are you hinting at me?"
"I'm complimenting you." Shang Jingtian smiled. "Maybe you don't know, but I rarely compliment people. Lin Chaotian was the first. You are the second. "
"It seems that your evaluation of me is quite high," Xiao Zheng said slowly.
"A young man who dares to enter my study with a saber." Shang Jingtian smiled. "Why would I give you a low evaluation? Wouldn't that be discrediting myself? "
Xiao Zheng exhaled a mouthful of smoke and remained silent.
"So? Have you made a decision? "Shang Jingtian asked with a smile.
What decision?
To kill him or not to kill him.
The two had finished talking about what they needed to talk about. It was time to make a decision.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Shang Jingtian with a complicated look in his eyes. After a while, he put away the saber on the table and pursed his lips. "You know I won't do it?"
"It's just a guess." Shang Jingtian Smiled.
"If I can walk out of here safely, won't you lose face? Won't you lose face for Old Yan's family? "Xiao Zheng asked back.
"Face is something you fight for. It's not given by others. "Shang Jingtian smiled. "I wanted to kill you, but you let me go. I don't think I'll lose face. "
"What about Old Yan's family?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I tried to persuade him," Shang Jingtian said slowly. "But he didn't listen."
"According to my guess, even you stopped. They won't dare to do anything to me anymore, right? "Xiao Zheng asked casually. But he was actually quite concerned.
"That's why I said that killing me is not a wise move. If you don't kill me, you'll gain more than you can imagine, "Shang Jingtian said in an implicit manner. "Not to mention, we're not enemies yet. Aren't we? "
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips. "Although I'm not used to your theory, I won't deny that I don't want to have an enemy like you."
"I sent a famous person to kill you, but in fact, I don't want him to succeed either." Shang Jingtian smiled. "But I had to do it."
Xiao Zheng did not feel touched by Shang Jingtian's words that seemed to be trying to rope him in. He merely lowered his gaze and picked up the teacup on the table before drinking the tea that was gradually cooling down. He stood up and said, "I'm done. It's time for me to go. "
Shang Jingtian didn't stand up to send him off. He only took a sip of the tea and smiled. "You're welcome to have tea with me the next time you come to Beijing. My collection isn't any worse than Lu Dashan's. "
Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment before he left the Shang Family.
These successful men who stood at the peak of the mountain were really more bewitching than the other. Other than Lu Dashan who was slightly more down to earth, the others were like gods.
The Shang Family wasn't as big as the Lin Family. It only took a few steps to cross the courtyard and walk out of the main door. Before leaving, Xiao Zheng noticed that He Zhuguo, who was lying on the doorstep, had disappeared. The bloodstains on the ground were also cleaned up. No clues were left behind. Even the most capable detective wouldn't be able to find any clues. Clean and efficient.
He hadn't taken two steps out of the door when a luxurious and beautiful limousine slowly drove past the roadside. As it slowly approached Xiao Zheng, the window was rolled down, revealing a face that Xiao Zheng would never have expected to see.
It was none other than Lin Chaotian, who didn't match him and had a different aura. His future father-in-law.
"Get in the car." Lin Chaotian spat out two words lightly.
Before the car came to a complete stop, Xiao Zheng dashed in. Then he locked the door and sat opposite Lin Chaotian.
This man who was called Lin Laoyao by countless people behind his back maintained his perfect appearance at all times. His hair was meticulous, and he wore a formal suit. His leather shoes were so shiny that they could be used as mirrors. Even the beard around his lips was carefully trimmed.
For a middle-aged man to be able to maintain his appearance impeccably, he must be an extreme perfectionist at work and in life.
After getting in the car, Xiao Zheng had just sat down when he asked meaningfully, "Don't tell me you're a Virgo?"
Why did he use "only"?
Because when they first met, he had asked Lin Huayin. He even made a dirty joke.
