A person who sent a master to assassinate him can tell you openly that he and you are not enemies, and there is no evidence that he will become enemies in the future.
If it were you, what would you think
If it were you, would you believe what he said
At least in Xiao Zheng's view, Shang Jingtian's theory was a bit highbrow, and not many people could understand the true meaning of these words, or perhaps there was no bullshit truth in the first place. He said this just to persuade Xiao Zheng not to kill him.
Of course, from another perspective, Xiao Zheng was able to successfully enter the merchant and arrive at Shang Jingtian's study without any hindrance. Doesn't this prove that Shang Jingtian is too big to think that Xiao Zheng dare not kill him. Either believe that Xiao Zheng can understand what he said.
But in fact, can Xiao Zheng understand it? Will you leave willingly again
He took out the cigarette that General Qi gave him, lit one, then took a deep breath, exhaled the thick smoke and said, "I will take what you just said as a threat."
"You are a smart man." Shang Jingtian smiled. "So I don't need to communicate with you in official terms."
After a pause, Shang Jingtian took a sip of fragrant tea and said calmly: "You can defeat He Zhuguo. Then I have every reason to believe that you know more about this than me. You are also more knowledgeable. Isn't it?"
Xiao Zheng knew what Shang Jingtian was implying.
The master hidden in the business.
And there's more than one.
The closer you get to the heart of the business, the stronger the sense of oppression becomes, and the more danger you can smell. Xiao Zheng believed that if Shang Jingtian hadn't said hello in advance, he would never have been able to enter Shang Jingtian's study so easily. It's even possible that he won't be able to get in.
This may be Xiao Zheng's only remaining advantage. Don't be pretentious and don't overestimate yourself easily. Of course, the fact that he dared to come in and sit in Shang Jingtian's study to drink tea and smoke also showed that although he was not arrogant, he was not a person who belittled himself.
"From your point of view, there is absolutely no need for you to meet me like this." Xiao Zheng slowly restrained his murderous intent.
"Yes." Shang Jingtian smiled. "necessary."
"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Before tonight, or before this happened. I really had no interest in meeting you. But now, I am happy and feel it is necessary." Shang Jingtian smiled.
"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked again.
"Because you are the first young talent to get into such a big trouble in Yanjing and still be safe and sound." Shang Jingtian said.
"As far as I know, Uncle Bai was even crazier back then." Xiao Zheng said.
"You only saw his glorious side. You didn't see the price he paid for it." Shang Jingtian didn't hide anything and spoke straightforwardly. "As you know, he made a big fuss in Yanjing and won a name that resounded throughout China. But he also retreated to Baicheng and lost the capital to gain a foothold in Yanjing. Otherwise, Bai Emperor would be far from the Bai Emperor he is today. .”
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Are you hinting at me?"
"I'm praising you." Shang Jingtian smiled. "Maybe you don't know that I rarely praise others. Lin Chaotian is the first. You are the second."
"It seems that you think highly of me." Xiao Zheng said slowly.
"Young man who dares to enter my study with a knife." Shang Jingtian said with a smile. "How could I give such a low evaluation? Wouldn't that be discrediting myself?"
Xiao Zheng puffed out a puff of smoke and remained silent.
"How is it? Have you made a decision?" Shang Jingtian asked with a smile.
What decision
The decision to kill or not to kill.
The two of them have already finished what they should talk about. It's time to make a decision.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Shang Jingtian, with a complex light dancing in his eyes. After a long time, he put away the blade on the table, pursed his lips and said, "You know I won't do it?"
"Just a guess." Shang Jingtian said with a smile.
"If I can walk out safely, wouldn't it be a shame for you? It would also embarrass the Yan family?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Face is earned by oneself. It is not given by others." Shang Jingtian smiled. "I wanted to kill you, but you let me go. I don't think I'm too shameless."
"What about Lao Yan's family?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I persuaded him." Shang Jingtian said slowly. "But he didn't listen."
"According to my guess, even you have stopped. They shouldn't dare to attack me again, right?" Xiao Zheng asked seemingly casually. In fact, I am quite concerned.
"That's why I said that killing me is not a wise move. If you don't kill me, you will gain more than you imagined." Shang Jingtian said implicitly. "What's more, we are not enemies so far. Are we?"
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said: "Although your theory is uncomfortable for people, I don't deny it, and 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. “I just had to do it.”
Xiao Zheng didn't feel embarrassed by Shang Jingtian's suspicious words. He just lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the gradually cooling tea in one breath. He stood up and said, "I've finished the tea. It's time for me to leave."
Shang Jingtian did not get up to see him off, he just took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Next time you come to Yanjing, you are welcome to come and have tea with me. My collection is no worse than Lu Dashan."
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned and strode out of the business.
These men who have achieved great success and are standing on the top of the mountain are really more monstrous than the last. Except for Lu Dashan, who is a little more down-to-earth, the others are almost as high as heaven.
The business was not as big as the Lin family, so he crossed the yard and walked out of the door in a few steps. Before leaving, Xiao Zheng discovered that He Zhuguo, who had fallen on the threshold, was gone. The blood stains on the ground were also cleaned up. No clues were left. Even the most capable police detective might not be able to find any clues. Crisp and neat.
Not even two steps outside the door, a beautiful and luxurious RV slowly passed by the roadside. As it slowly approached Xiao Zheng, the window was rolled down, revealing a face that Xiao Zheng would never have imagined. .
It was none other than Lin Chaotian, who was not compatible with him and had the wrong aura. His future father-in-law.
"Get in the car." Lin Chaotian said two words lightly.
Before the car stopped, Xiao Zheng darted in. Then he closed the car door with his backhand and sat opposite Lin Chaotian.
This man who was called Lao Yao Lin by countless people behind his back maintained perfect appearance at all times. Meticulous hair, neat and dignified suit. The leather shoes are so bright they can be used as mirrors, and even the beard on his lips can be seen to have been carefully trimmed.
A middle-aged man can keep his appearance impeccable. I believe he must also be an extreme perfectionist in work and life.
After getting on the bus, Xiao Zheng had just settled down when he asked meaningfully: "Could it be that you are a Virgo?"
Why use 'cai'
Because he asked Lin Huayin when they first met. He also made a rather naughty little joke.
