As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense.
Lin Wu slowly sat up straight, "I don't think I ever said that I had a grudge against Lin Jiangbai? It seems that Master Leng pays a lot of attention to him, but aren't you just casual friends? So why pay attention to him?"
Leng Linfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while he suddenly laughed, "The news that the Lin family was treated respectfully by Manager Song of Sheng Gui not long ago has long been spread among the upper class circles in North City. That night, I heard that the Lin family also quarreled with a little girl in the lobby on the first floor of Sheng Gui. It seems that this is not a secret."
Lin Wu also laughed, "Does everyone in the upper class of North City know that Young Master Leng is so eloquent?"
Leng Linfeng said: "Now I know."
Lin Wu's eyes darkened slightly.
Leng Linfeng asked calmly: "Any other questions?"
Lin Wu weighed the options in his mind.
After a moment, she pulled out the wooden box from her coat pocket, opened it, took out the pendant, and placed it on the table.
"Does this look familiar to Master Leng?"
Leng Linfeng's gaze lingered on it for a moment, his tone was flat, "Oh, I've seen it. Not long ago, Master Zhang came to me and said that those wealthy families had been chasing him for some things to ensure safety, and he couldn't refuse. But he only had three of them, and couldn't give them to so many people at the same time, so he came up with the idea of auctioning them, and asked me to lend him a place to help him."
As he spoke, he pretended to recall.
"Oh, I remember now. Although I didn't go to the scene, I heard from my subordinates that the Lin family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family were the ones who got it in the end."
Leng Linfeng looked at Lin Wu and smiled with an ambiguous smile: "Now it is in your hands, young lady. Why? Did you steal it because you dislike the Lin family and can't stand their good stuff?"
"Steal?" Lin Wu sneered, "Do I need to steal something if I want it? But the two old men from the Chen and Zhao families who got it have passed away. In addition, the old man from the Lin family is not in good health either."
Leng Linfeng said in surprise: "Really? That's really a pity. Could it be that the people from these three families found something wrong with the pendant and killed Master Zhang?"
This hot potato was kicked away very cleanly.
Lin Wu: "Master Leng, do you really not know what this is for? You organized an auction for someone else but didn't ask clearly. Aren't you afraid of taking responsibility?"
Leng Linfeng's eyes were calm and unperturbed: "I really don't know. Besides, why would you tell me what Master Zhang is going to do?"
Thinking of something, Leng Linfeng suddenly said, "By the way, even if something happens to the people of these three families, it seems that Master Zhang cannot be blamed. Aren't they both willing to fight and be beaten?"
Lin Wu had a bad feeling: "What do you mean by that?"
"It seems you don't know?" Leng Linfeng seemed surprised and said, "Master Zhang once said a few words about this pendant. It seems to be about taking someone's life in exchange for wealth. At that time, it didn't seem to have any serious harm, so I didn't ask any more questions. I didn't expect it to be poisonous."
Lin Wu's heart suddenly sank.
Using other people's lives to exchange for your own wealth? ? Lin Shenghai and his men want to use his grandfather's life to exchange for the Lin family's wealth? ?
Is this the real purpose they refuse to mention?
"Miss, do you have anything else you want to ask?" Leng Linfeng's words drew Lin Wu's attention back. "If not, let's stop here."
Lin Wu looked at him.
The man covered his face with his hands and coughed a few times, "Forgive me, I have not been feeling well these days and cannot work too hard."
Lin Wu's throat tightened, and he finally asked, "There is another question. This pendant is poisonous."
Leng Linfeng paused slightly and met Lin Wu's gaze with some surprise.
Then, he smiled apologetically: "I don't know about this. Now that you have finished asking, please go back."
Lin Wu looked at him calmly and slowly stood up.
Leng Linfeng also stood up.
Leng Linfeng stopped unexpectedly, his eyes fixed on Lin Wu's phone screen, and then on Lin Wu.
Lin Wu just glanced at Leng Linfeng and quickly retracted his gaze.
She said, "Since Master Leng doesn't know, I plan to go to Master Zhang's hometown to check, maybe there will be some news I want to know. But I have never met Master Zhang before, so I would like to ask Master Leng to confirm for me, is the man in the phone just now Master Zhang?"
Leng Linfeng's eyes softened slightly and he said, "Of course."
Lin Wu hummed, nodded, turned and walked out.
Leng Linfeng followed him, and when he reached the door, he opened it for Lin Wu in a very gentlemanly manner, "Goodbye, I'm sorry I can't see you off..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp female voice.
"Lin Wu? Why are you here!?"
Lin Wu and Leng Linfeng looked outside the door at the same time.
Someone outside was about to knock on the door and come in. It was Lin Qian! Seeing Lin Qian, Leng Linfeng frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
The staff member next to him lowered his head and explained quickly: "Master, this person said she wanted to see you. She has an invitation from the Leng family, so we brought her here."
Lin Qian was still immersed in the shock of seeing Lin Wu. Hearing this, she subconsciously looked at Leng Linfeng.
After seeing Leng Linfeng's appearance clearly, Lin Qian widened her eyes slightly.
This... this is the young master of the Leng family...
Sure enough, he is a dragon among men! Lin Qian immediately ignored Lin Wu, raised her hand to put her bangs behind her head, showed a smile that she thought was perfect, and stretched out her hand to Leng Linfeng and said, "Hello, Master Leng, I am Lin Qian, the daughter of the Lin family in North City, and Lin Jiangbai is my eldest brother."
Leng Linfeng stared at her with his dark eyes, causing Lin Qian to lower her head shyly.
This made Leng Linfeng frown even tighter, with a hint of disgust in his eyes. He turned his head and said coldly to the staff: "I have never met her, take her away. In addition, the person who let her in is not allowed to appear in the Leng family again in the future."
Lin Qian suddenly looked up and looked at Leng Linfeng in disbelief.
The staff around him immediately panicked and tried to plead for mercy, but they were all scared away by Leng Linfeng's fierce look.
They didn't dare to say anything else and quickly pulled Lin Qian away.
Lin Qian now believed that she had heard and seen correctly, so she struggled to break free, rushed in front of Leng Linfeng, and grabbed his arm.
The staff members' eyes widened.
This was the first time they had seen a woman dare to do this! Didn't this woman know what kind of temper their young master had? ? "Young Master Leng, you must not have recognized me. I am Lin Qian! My second brother came to see you earlier, but you were too busy to see him, so I came now! My eldest brother is suffering in the police station now. You have such a good relationship with him, you can't just stand by and watch!"
Lin Qian tried hard to open her pitiful eyes wide, looking at Leng Linfeng innocently and aggrieved.
Seeing this, Lin Wu put one hand in his pocket and said, "Then I won't disturb Master Leng's good deeds. Goodbye."
She walked towards the elevator.
Leng Linfeng's forehead veins were throbbing and he mercilessly pushed Lin Qian away without even looking at her who fell to the ground and sprained her ankle.
With a gloomy face, he quickly took off his stained coat, revealing his lean and well-muscled upper body.
"Throw her away. I don't want to see her again." Leng Linfeng gave the order in a cold voice, then strode after Lin Wu.
Lin Qian's mind went blank. She could not accept the fact that Leng Linfeng, who had been avoiding her like the plague, caught up with Lin Wu. Her expression instantly softened, and she said politely, "A guest is a guest. Leng will take the young lady down."
