Chapter 1230 Is he possessed by evil spirits?
The Cheng family’s small meeting room is located outside Commander Cheng’s study.
In such a heavily guarded courtyard, there are no heavy curtains drawn like in other secret places.
Those who can enter this place are not ordinary people, and naturally they will not doubt the Cheng family's ironclad confidentiality - unless it is the Cheng family who want to plot against them.
Cheng Zhiyuan hadn't arrived yet, but there were already several people sitting in this small conference room.
Some are still middle-aged and strong, while others have gray hair.
Some of them were wearing serious formal attire, while others were dressed very casually. The only thing they had in common was the aura of a superior. Whether calm or serious, one could tell at a glance that they were the ones who usually gave orders.
Such an aura is formed by time and experience, and cannot be easily possessed.
An old man took a sip of tea slowly, then turned around and asked the servant who was pouring tea for them,
"Why didn't your commander come?"
The servant wiped his hands, took a step back, and said with his head down,
"The commander is unwell. I'm afraid only the young master will entertain you today. Please forgive me."
They were all startled for a moment, but then they all nodded.
"We came here today just to see Zhiyuan,"
The old man smiled and said,
"How long does he have?"
The wrinkled, peaceful face looked very kind, but the cloudy and sharp eyes carried a hint of displeasure of being neglected.
"We've been sitting here for several minutes. Is Zhiyuan busy with something?"
"Nothing to do,"
Before the butler could answer, an elegant and smiling voice came from outside the door, and along with the sound of footsteps, it entered everyone's ears.
"It's just that the weather outside the window is so nice, and I can't help but walk slower in the sunshine."
This reason was so self-evident that the old hands present who expected to hear some polite talk were unable to react for a moment.
However, the man did not finish his words. He walked to the main seat with his long legs and sat down. Then he leaned back in the chair and leisurely put his legs on the table. He crossed his legs and swung them nonchalantly. Then he smiled lazily and said,
"After all, I know that with all the seniors here, the temperature in the conference room will inevitably drop significantly, so it's necessary to conserve some heat."
“…”
This seemingly plausible but rude sarcasm caught everyone off guard. Some people who were more familiar with Cheng Zhiyuan couldn't help but take a closer look at the man, wondering if the usually cold and meticulous Major General Cheng was possessed by evil spirits.
However, at this glance, someone could clearly see the eyes hidden behind the sunlight.
There was actually a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the curve was elegant and beautiful, which made people's heart beat faster. However, his eyes, which were backlit, looked deep and cold, staring straight at everyone, like a bottomless whirlpool, which was frightening.
Some people were shocked, but since they were used to being in a higher position, they would naturally not be happy to be ridiculed by a junior for no reason.
Someone immediately knocked on the table and said with a dagger in his smile,
"I used to doubt the authenticity of that record, but now it seems that Zhiyuan is really..."
Before he could finish his words, the man raised his finger in front of everyone and turned it around his head twice.
The meaning of the action was very clear, and someone immediately turned to look at Cheng Zhiyuan.
However, the man's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at everyone present and said with a smile on his face,
"Didn't you come here just to confirm this?"
"Your elders' ability to cross a river and then demolish a bridge has always been the most admirable. Now you are simply here to see if my bridge can be demolished."
"So, why should I be polite to you?"
