Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213

Xiao Zheng found it a bit amusing. Although this guy seemed to have no fear of him now, the way those bodyguards closely surrounded him, it looked like they were protecting a little chick. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel-fire.ɴet

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I don’t have time to waste with you." Xiao Zheng said impatiently. His issues with Leng Ruobing were still unresolved, and now this guy came to disturb his good mood, he was practically asking for death.

If he didn’t provide a proper reason for seeking him out, Xiao Zheng would definitely crush his other arm.

"Well... because the matter is quite important, it’s not very convenient to discuss it here. How about I treat you to a meal? There’s a restaurant not far from here, we’ll be there soon." Fan Longzhou looked around and said to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then decisively nodded. No matter what tricks this guy was playing, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t let him succeed.

However, if he ignored him, letting him play some tricks in secret, Xiao Zheng wasn’t afraid for himself, but what about Liu Han Yan and Leng Ruobing?

So if this guy had any tricks up his sleeve, Xiao Zheng felt it necessary to figure them out first.

When they arrived at the restaurant, inside a luxurious private room, the table was already filled with a sumptuous spread of dishes.

Fan Longzhou’s mother, Yang Qinghua, was also there. But because yesterday Xiao Zheng had slapped her into looking like a pig’s head, she was still wearing a mask, not fully recovered. When she saw Xiao Zheng enter, her body trembled violently and she quickly turned her head away.

The corners of Xiao Zheng’s mouth curved up slightly; this was the effect he wanted. Dealing with this sort of person, if you didn’t make them afraid all at once, they’d only become more and more outrageous in what they did to you.

However, the events that followed made Xiao Zheng finally understand that some people, no matter how you dealt with them, were like a dog that couldn’t stop eating shit.

"Come, the food here is quite good. I’ve ordered all the most expensive dishes for you to try. See if there’s anything you like?" Fan Longzhou said politely, sitting not far from Xiao Zheng and gesturing to the delicious feast.

Xiao Zheng didn’t even glance at the food, just said coldly, "Speak, what do you really want me here for today? Don’t waste time with nonsense."

"Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll get straight to the point. The reason I called you here is quite simple, actually. I want you to help with something." Fan Longzhou organized his thoughts before speaking.

Xiao Zheng found it a bit amusing, looking at Fan Longzhou in disbelief, he asked, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken? You want me to help you?"

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s expression turn somewhat grim, Fan Longzhou was startled, quickly explaining, "Please let me finish. We’ve investigated your relationship with Liu Han Yan, and you haven’t known each other long, right?"

"You’re investigating me?" Xiao Zheng’s face darkened even more.

"No, no, no, this isn’t something you’ve tried to hide. Even an observant person could see it at a glance. I just did a little digging. Please let me finish."

Fan Longzhou broke out in a cold sweat, repeatedly speaking to prevent Xiao Zheng from misunderstanding and then slapping him into his mother’s condition.

Even now, his shoulder, which had been crushed, still throbbed with a twitching pain.

"So I’ll give you another chance to speak clearly in one go. Otherwise, you know what the consequence will be." Xiao Zheng said coldly, unwilling to waste time with him.

"Okay, okay, I’ll tell you now." Fan Longzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously, "So, you’ve not known each other long, so your relationship with her shouldn’t be that deep. Wouldn’t you like her as you protected her so much yesterday, right?"

Xiao Zheng found it a bit amusing but didn’t show it on his face. After thinking for a moment, he simply nodded, "Go on."

"Since you like her, you should pursue her and win her over. As for the resources and money needed in the process, if there’s anything you need, just ask me anytime. I’ll make sure you get everything you need." Fan Longzhou promised, thumping his chest, essentially saying, "Money is no issue!"

"Oh? So is this me helping you or you helping me?" Xiao Zheng chuckled, leaning back in his chair as he spoke.

"Consider it us helping you and you helping us. You should know what happened yesterday. If you genuinely like her, you should also know, our Old Master Fan is getting on in years, and her marrying an old man like that is a bit of a waste, isn’t it?"

Fan Longzhou continued speaking.

"We’re all smart people; I think you should be able to grasp the key points here?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, fully understanding this guy’s intentions.

In Fan Longzhou’s view, Xiao Zheng had already taken a liking to Liu Han Yan. After yesterday’s events, they knew if they forced anything on Liu Han Yan, with someone like Xiao Zheng around, they couldn’t do anything.

So they opted for a different approach: they thought since Xiao Zheng liked Liu Han Yan, they’d help him win her over, and when Liu Han Yan and Xiao Zheng were together, they’d have no worries anymore.

You’ve got to admit, it was a pretty clever plan.

But in Xiao Zheng’s view, their motives weren’t that simple.

Because he saw the hint of gloom in Fan Longzhou’s eyes, a look that only appeared when scheming against someone.

After thinking it over, Xiao Zheng realized this guy wanted him to get together with Liu Han Yan, so they could gather evidence and hand it over to Elder Fan.

When Elder Fan found out, he’d personally send people to deal with Xiao Zheng and Liu Han Yan.

This way, they’d not only get the Fan family’s inheritance, but also retaliate against Xiao Zheng and Liu Han Yan—killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but clap his hands; this was indeed a brilliant plan.

Such a wicked plan, Xiao Zheng quickly thought of Yang Qinghua who sat in silence beside him.

Only a vicious woman like her could come up with something , right?
