"Dad, you look so sad, what are you thinking about?"
After seeing Xu Jiang who had returned to Jinfeng City, Xu Ben asked while eating.
Now that Wen Cai and the child are safe, Xu Ben is not so anxious to catch those people who sneaked in.
It's just a few more people. As long as it doesn't cause irreparable losses to himself, he doesn't care.
Besides, Sun Ban'er only gets a chance to show his abilities once in a while, so it would be a bit rude of me to interfere at this time.
Xu Jiang felt a little angry when he saw Xu Ben's heartless look.
"The house was robbed, and all you do is eat?"
"What's wrong?"
Xu Ben had no intention of stopping: "Didn't you teach me? Nothing can affect my eating. Only by keeping my body healthy can I survive when danger comes!"
"That's what I told you when you were fucking six!"
Xu Jiang was so angry that his hair almost stood up.
Xu Ben chuckled: "Yes! I still remember everything you taught me since I was a child!"
How could Xu Jiang not understand Xu Ben's character?
But I didn't expect that this kid would play dumb in front of me.
And it feels like the performance will never end.
Fortunately, Xu Jiang is old now and doesn't like to educate Xu Ben anymore.
"Da Ben, there's something I can't figure out. Can you help me figure it out?"
Xu Jiang knew that Xu Ben didn't like to use his brain, but his own brain was a little rusty now.
Xu Ben glanced at him and shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Jiang asked.
"You taught me all my skills. If you can't figure out something, I definitely can't figure it out either."
Xu Ben replied very logically.
Xu Jiang clenched his fists.
Xu Ben realized that this was the posture of Lanquan.
"How about... you tell me what it is first, and I'll try to think about it?"
Xu Ben put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Only then did Xu Jiang frown and open his fists.
"Based on my understanding of Ling Mo, he would not bother to do such a thing."
Even though Xu Jiang and Ling Mo have an irreconcilable feud, he is the one who knows Ling Mo best.
Even though the two had not been in contact for many years, Xu Jiang believed that human nature would not change easily.
Especially someone like Ling Mo.
It's not that Ling Mo is honest enough to not attack his opponent's relatives, but this kind of petty theft...
It's totally unlike Ling Mo's style.
How could that guy, who is so proud to the core, send such a group of people to harm Ning Fan's wife and children just because of the pressure from Ning Fan?
After Xu Jiang learned about this matter, he has been thinking about this issue over and over again.
Xu Ben didn't answer.
Xu Jiang continued to mutter to himself, "But apart from Ling Mo, I really can't think of anyone else who would be so bold as to come to Jinfeng City and kill someone."
This was an assassination attempt against Wen Cai.
If anything happens to Wen Cai, not to mention that Ning Fan is still in a coma, he may not be able to give orders.
Just take Wen Xiuyuan’s status in the lower city as an example. It is enough to mobilize a large force to avenge his daughter!
The most important thing is, even if we take a step back and say that the other party really succeeded, Wen Cai and the child would really die...
So what good does it do for the person hiding in the dark?
It seems that it has no other use except to arouse Ning Fan's immense anger, right?
"That's it?"
While Xu Jiang was analyzing alone, Xu Ben quickly ate two mouthfuls of rice.
Xu Jiang didn't argue, but nodded seriously.
Xu Ben wiped the oil off his mouth.
"Dad, I have a question for you."
"Well, you ask."
"Based on your understanding of Shangcheng, has anyone emerged to challenge Ling Mo since he took control of Shangcheng?"
Xu Ben's eyes became a little more serious.
Xu Jiang shook his head without even thinking: "No."
"That's it, isn't it?"
Xu Ben spread his hands and said, "Your previous understanding of him was based on the premise that he had no rivals."
"If a person possesses enough capital to dominate everything, he will start to care about his image."
"Take Ling Mo for example. He used to feel like he could control everything, which is why he was so dismissive of this kind of thing."
"Because he knows that as long as he puts in a little effort, he can solve the so-called troubles. In fact, most of the troubles are not even troubles in his eyes, but more like a kind of entertainment."
"But when he realized that the situation was beginning to get out of his control, winning... or surviving, was the most important thing."
"By that time, he will use any dirty tricks he can."
After Xu Ben said this, he realized that Xu Jiang was staring at him without blinking.
Xu Ben subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, thinking that there was a grain of rice hanging on his mouth.
"Why do these words sound so awkward coming out of your mouth?"
After a long while, Xu Jiang muttered something.
In fact, when Xu Ben first joined "Wild Dog House", he said that Xu Jiang was training him as an all-round talent.
Facts have proved that this seemingly silly boy can indeed be called "a master of all trades".
Nothing bad happened when he was on stage.
He is even good at doing things that are not very popular.
But now, Xu Jiang discovered that after so many years, Xu Ben had grown a lot compared to when he left.
Although he still had that nonchalant character, his ideas and views had improved to the point where Xu Jiang had nothing to teach him.
"Ah, you're talking about this?"
Xu Ben smiled indifferently: "After spending so much time with Dafan, sometimes I like to imitate his way of speaking."
As an absolute veteran who has been with Ning Fan from the beginning to the present, Xu Ben, who is not a fool to begin with, has indeed learned a lot from Ning Fan.
On weekdays, he naturally doesn't like to use his brain.
But when it comes to using my brain, I am absolutely decisive.
Although Xu Jiang was still a little uncomfortable with Da Ben saying such words, he was still very curious about how his son had grown now.
"Go on."
Xu Ben was unfazed. "That's all I have to say, and if what I just said is true, then your old friend's current situation may be much more difficult than we imagined."
Xu Jiang's eyes lit up: "Continue."
"Look, based on your understanding of him, Ling Mo is extremely concerned about his reputation."
"As I just said, anyone can resort to despicable tactics; it's just a matter of whether or not they want to."
"A person who values his reputation so much would not normally play such a dirty trick."
"You have to know that if this matter gets out, it may even affect his control over the forces in Diancheng."
Xu Jiang was even a little excited by what Xu Ben said.
"Then tell me, is it possible that Ning Fan's battle with the old Sword God affected him?"
