When Xiao Zheng was still a mercenary, he had accepted more than one invitation to work together. Other than the first invitation due to his lack of experience, Xiao Zheng had always rejected all subsequent invitations. It was not because he was arrogant and thought that no mission could stump him. It was because Xiao Zheng suffered a huge loss when he first worked with an outsider. He almost lost his life during the mission. Although he used his powerful strength to avert the danger and sent those people who tried to steal his reward to hell, he learned from his mistakes. With that lesson, how could Xiao Zheng easily trust others and work together with them?
This was especially true for a scheming woman like Shang Yao.
The limousine slowly drove on the quiet road. The dim orange streetlights on both sides slowly moved backward. It was as if they were traveling through time and space to enter another unknown space.
"Miss Shang." Xiao Zheng gradually withdrew his gaze and looked at Shang Yao's lightly made-up face. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. "You know my situation like the back of your hand, but I don't know anything about you or your Shang Family's intentions. Do you think that under such circumstances, I can give you any promises? "
Shang Yao's brows slightly relaxed as she calmly said, "I believe my father has already explained it clearly."
"What your father expressed was that he only wanted to use me to deal with Lin Chaotian," Xiao Zheng changed the topic and went straight to the point. "What do you think I can think?"
"Use?" Shang Yao lightly shook her head and said in a mature tone. "Mr. Xiao. Only a naive person would treat a mutually beneficial cooperation as a tool to be exploited. With your intelligence, can't you see the current situation? "
These words seemed to be leading him to provoke him. But Xiao Zheng turned a deaf ear and said slowly, "Lin Chaotian's attitude towards me is very clear. But your father's attitude is hard to understand. "
After a pause, he stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point. "At first, your father wanted to join forces with me to deal with Lin Chaotian. Now, you want to work with me, and I'll deal with Chang Yishan, while you deal with Yen Teng-kuei. "
"Miss Shang." Xiao Zheng's lips curled into a playful smile as he teased. "Do you take me for a fool, or is it your father? You push all the hard work on me. But all of you just did what you were supposed to. Isn't it a little too obvious? "
When Shang Yao heard that, an unnatural expression flashed across her face. She pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, you've misunderstood us."
"Oh? Really? "Xiao Zheng smiled. "What aspect did you misinterpret?"
Shang Yao explained, "If I may be so bold as to ask, is there any enmity between my Big Brother Yen Teng-kuei and Mr. Xiao?"
"You can say that." Xiao Zheng nodded lightly.
"Then, is there a possibility that he will hit you when you're in danger?" Shang Yao continued to ask.
"It's not just a possibility." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Definitely."
"But I will relieve your worries." Shang Yao said word by word. "So that you can fight with Chang Yishan with peace of mind."
"In other words, I'll be the vanguard, and you'll be the rear guard?" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled. "Miss Shang, isn't it tragic to fight your own flesh and blood? Why don't I help you take care of Yen Teng-kuei, and you help me take care of Chang Yishan? "
Shang Yao's expression changed slightly. Even her sitting posture couldn't help but move. Her eyes suddenly turned solemn. She looked up and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you serious?"
Xiao Zheng also sensed Shang Yao's extremely unstable mood fluctuations. A playful smile hung on his lips, "Why? Do you think I'm joking?"
After a pause, he continued, "Instead of waiting for him to hit me when I'm down, it's better for me to take the initiative to eliminate any future troubles."
Shang Yao restrained her emotions and said with a serious expression, "With Mr. Xiao's current connections and resources, it's not easy to deal with a division level cadre. I dare not say it's easy, but it's definitely not too difficult. After all, it's impossible for him to be without any problems. As long as it's handled properly, you don't even need to do it yourself to beat him half to death. "
"That's why I said, on one hand, you proposed to cooperate with me, but on the other hand, you're not sincere. It's disappointing." Xiao Zheng nodded lightly.
"I've already shown a lot of sincerity." Shang Yao slowly raised her head with a firm gaze. "Including my father."
"Is that so?" Xiao Zheng said with his lips pursed. "But I don't feel your sincerity."
"That's because Mr. Xiao doesn't understand how difficult it is." Shang Yao focused her gaze and said calmly. "I've said it just now. With Mr. Xiao's means, it's indeed not too difficult to deal with a mere division level cadre. But has Mr. Xiao considered the most important problem? "
"What problem?" Xiao Zheng asked casually. He didn't seem to take it seriously.
"The person behind my big brother?" Shang Yao asked word by word.
"Yan Jiazhou?" Xiao Zheng smiled. "To be honest, I've already dealt with your second uncle. Compared to Mr. Shang, his skills are not just a little bit lacking. "
"Then what about the person behind my second uncle?" Shang Yao asked with a dignified expression.
"Old Master Yan?" Xiao Zheng's expression darkened as he shook his head and said. "That's true, I haven't come into contact with him."
"If Yen Teng-kuei attacks you, it's his attack alone. My grandfather may not come forward. "Shang Yao said meaningfully. "But if you want to destroy him, do you think my grandfather will just sit back and do nothing?"
"Mr. Xiao, I need to remind you that Ye Fenghuang left a way out for my big brother in Ming Zhu City and didn't pursue the matter too much. She was magnanimous and didn't want to haggle with the younger generation. Another reason was to give face to my grandfather. "Shang Yao patiently asked. "People only know that there's a legendary old man named Lord Ye in Beijing, but they don't know that my grandfather, Yan Shichang, is also an old man who has been in the limelight of Hua Xia for half a century."
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and his eyes flickered slightly.
Even his mother-in-law had to give face to him? That was indeed not an old man that he had the right to go against.
But on second thought, a mocking smile appeared on his face. He tentatively said, "You make your grandfather sound so powerful. Then why didn't he come forward to mediate when I had a conflict with Yan Shang? "
This was just Xiao Zheng's implicit description.
A conflict?
He had cut off one of Yan Shang's arms in public and even crippled one of his legs. This was definitely a blood feud.
Even though Yan Shang's death had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng, it was also because of Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng had bullied people to this extent. Why didn't the Yan Shichang that Shang Yao mentioned show up?
Shang Yao looked at Xiao Zheng subtly, but there was no embarrassment or concealment on her face. She paused for a moment and said word by word, "Mr. Xiao, do you know what the biggest difference between a grandson and a grandson is?"
Xiao Zheng's heart trembled slightly when he heard this. He seemed to have understood something, but he didn't dare to believe it.
Was this the so-called rich and powerful?
Xiao Zheng sighed speechlessly.
The last person who said this was Lin Xiaozhu, who could no longer reconcile with Lin Huayin.
