Walking out of the hospital and back to his car, Yang Cheng locked the door, rolled down the window, and started smoking in silence.
The white smoke drifted out from the car window into the air. In the empty parking lot, it seemed very quiet and peaceful.
Yang Cheng tried his best to erase Li Jingjing's last words and that heart-wrenching expression from his mind. He sorted out his thoughts and went through the entire incident and the current situation.
Although it was Zeng Xinlin's way of taking revenge, it was also because he didn't handle it properly and gave Zeng Xinlin an opportunity.
Yang Cheng didn't really hate Zeng Xinlin as he thought too highly of him. Of course, he definitely didn't like him. However, no matter in the business world or in love, scheming against each other was a very normal thing. It wasn't strange for him to have fallen this time.
However, Yang Cheng also realized that although Zeng Xinlin's company had left Zhonghai, the troubles related to him might not be completely cut off. It seemed like he had to take some measures.
Of course, the simplest and most direct method was to kill him. However, Zeng Xinlin wasn't the only member of the Zeng Family in Beijing. Killing one person would affect the entire family. Even if he killed him secretly, with the Zeng Family's power, it wouldn't be difficult for them to trace it back to him.
Even if they didn't dare to fight him head-on, it was hard to perfectly guard against the people around him.
A cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite.
Since he had returned to the country, he hoped to live a peaceful and comfortable life. He couldn't continue his days of killing whoever he disliked.
Not to mention other things, although his brain was still stable, it was hard to guarantee that he would lose control if he had too many murderous thoughts.
If he lost his rationality and the people who understood him weren't by his side, it wasn't impossible for him to do something horrifying and irreversible.
If there was anything in this world that Yang Cheng was truly afraid of, it would be himself who had lost his rationality.
After thinking about it, it seemed that getting someone else to help him get rid of Zeng Xinlin was the most appropriate method. As for who would do it, it was a problem that needed to be considered.
Just as Yang Cheng was thinking, his phone vibrated.
Yang Cheng took a look and saw that it was Molin, the captain of the Sea Eagles.
"Your Majesty Pluto, there's an abnormal situation at your residence," Molin said in a serious tone.
Yang Cheng frowned. "Tell me in detail."
"Through our surveillance equipment, we reported to the team members on duty that ten minutes ago, we found no less than twenty people, who have received professional training and are similar to foreign mercenaries, hiding near your residence. There's also a Lincoln car with an unfamiliar license plate parked behind your house. I can't tell what's going on inside. It seems to be waiting for you to return to the villa. "
Yang Cheng's face turned cold. It seemed that before he could make a move, someone else would be too late. Was this the so-called first move to gain the upper hand?
"Help me keep an eye on them. Don't let them do anything dangerous."
"Yes, Your Majesty Pluto. As long as you give the order, our two members on duty can eliminate those mercenaries within five minutes. Their strength can only be considered second-rate in the international arena," Molin said expectantly.
Yang Cheng smiled. "No need. I know your hands are itching, but I want to do it myself."
"But they aren't worthy enough for you to personally deal with them." Molin seemed a little surprised.
"Molin, sometimes, the reason for making a move is more important than the goal," Yang Cheng said plainly.
Molin didn't say anything else. He seemed to sense that Yang Cheng wasn't in a good mood.
Ten minutes later, Yang Cheng returned to the Dragon Garden villa. He seemed to be completely unaware of the various hidden corners and corners around him. He only walked into the house with a gloomy expression.
At home, Mother Wang sensed that something was wrong. When she saw Yang Cheng return, she asked with concern, "Young Master, what happened just now? Why did Miss suddenly run into her room and not come out?"
Yang Cheng smiled gently. "Don't worry. It's a little complicated, but I'll take care of it."
Mother Wang saw that Yang Cheng wasn't willing to say much, so she didn't ask anymore. However, she was deeply worried, and it was obvious that she couldn't let it go.
At this moment, the villa's doorbell rang.
Mother Wang was slightly surprised. She wanted to open the door, but Yang Cheng stopped her.
"Mother Wang, I'll open the door," Yang Cheng said.
Walking to the door, Yang Cheng opened it. There were two familiar faces outside the door. However, Yang Cheng was a little surprised to see them.
One of them was naturally Zeng Xinlin, whom Yang Cheng had expected. He was still as handsome as ever, and was looking at Yang Cheng with a teasing expression.
The other person was actually Xu Zhihong, who had escaped overseas after his accomplice, Dongxing, was annihilated!
Xu Zhihong seemed to have aged a few years. He was originally in his twenties, but there were a few signs of aging on his face. His beard wasn't very smooth, and his hair had grown a lot longer. He was wearing a slightly untidy suit, and the way he looked at Yang Cheng was like a venomous snake that wanted to devour and bite him.
"Long time no see, Yang Cheng," Xu Zhihong said with a hideous smile.
With a smile on his face, Yang Cheng made way for him indifferently and made a 'please' gesture. "It has indeed been a while. It seems like your food hasn't been that good recently. Don't you want to come in and have a seat?"
Zeng Xinlin said teasingly, "Seems like you don't really like the present I gave you, or are you pretending to dislike it even if you 'like' it?"
"What do you think?"
"I really don't know about that. Oh right, Ruoxi should be at home too. Why isn't she coming out to welcome you, senior?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi's cold voice came from the house.
"I just came down, I hope I can still welcome you in time."
As expected, Lin Ruoxi slowly walked down from upstairs with Mother Wang by her side. Mother Wang must have gone upstairs to call for her when she saw the guest.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were a little red, but she seemed to have calmed down. However, the cold expression on her face seemed to have returned to the time when Yang Cheng first met her, like an unmelting ice and snow.
Seeing Xu Zhihong, Lin Ruoxi didn't seem to be surprised. She asked faintly, "You're still a wanted criminal, aren't you afraid of being caught?"
Xu Zhihong looked at the woman he used to pursue, and the coldness in his eyes intensified. "With Young Master Zeng around, I won't be caught so easily."
"Seems like you guys have made some kind of deal." Lin Ruoxi glanced at Zeng Xinlin. "Senior, although I did something merciless to your company. But personally, I have always respected you. However, I want to ask you a question. Were you the one behind Jingjing's incident? "
Zeng Xinlin's eyes glowed. He looked at Yang Cheng and said to Lin Ruoxi, "Although I didn't plan to hide it today, I admire your sharp mind for being able to guess that it was me who set it up so quickly. But so what? Although I'm the one in charge of Li Jingjing's matter, If it wasn't for the fact that Yang Cheng had a guilty conscience and had some kind of relationship with Miss Li, how could everything have succeeded? If there's one, there will be a second. You should be able to guess this. So, you should be thanking me. After all, I helped you see what kind of person your husband is. "
"What kind of person he is is my business. Zeng Xinlin, you're despicable," after getting confirmation, Lin Ruoxi said without hesitation.
"Haha …" Zeng Xinlin seemed to have heard a joke. "Despicable? Lin Ruoxi, I brought you guys the opportunity to develop Yu Lei, but you single-handedly destroyed my Changlin Media and plotted against my Brother Xu, destroying the Xu family's tens of years of foundation in a day. Do you think you have the right to say that others are despicable? "
"In the business world, only the strong prey on the weak. Since you guys have joined this game, you should abide by the rules and accept your failure. Venting your hatred in the business world onto your personal feelings, and you didn't even hesitate to implicate others. This only makes me feel disgusted. "Lin Ruoxi said mercilessly.
Zeng Xinlin and Xu Zhihong's faces were a little gloomy, while Yang Cheng was a little emotional. He seemed to have underestimated Lin Ruoxi's mental endurance. He didn't expect her to realize that Li Jingjing's incident wasn't so simple so quickly. However, even so, it would be hard for her to forgive herself so easily.
"You're just like this. Your pride, your cruelty, haven't you realized it yourself? Don't make it sound so nice, saying that other people's families are ruined is just asking for trouble. Don't you know that you're the executioner in all of this? I hate Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng is just an accomplice, a sacrifice that you implicated!
Lin Ruoxi, don't think that just because you're pretty, you're good at doing business, and you can defeat others in the business world, others should just silently endure everything. Let me tell you, today, you will realize how wrong you are! "
Xu Zhihong seemed to be unable to control his emotions. After roaring angrily, he took out a black automatic pistol from the inside of his suit and aimed at Lin Ruoxi's forehead!
