Chapter 151 Know each other, but not familiar with each other

At this moment, even Su Ming could not hide the surprise in his tone.

"I didn't expect it to be Councillor Xu. How disrespectful."

As Su Ming responded, his thoughts raced through his mind.

Why did Xu Yongfeng suddenly contact me? Was it because of the Xu family's affairs?

Was he exposed? Did Xu Yongfeng notice his involvement in this matter? Or did Xu Qianqian tell her father about all this? When Su Ming had the latter thought, he rejected it again.

There is a contract between him and Xu Qianqian, so it should be impossible for the other party to tell others about her own affairs.

If that’s the case, then it’s intriguing why Xu Yongfeng suddenly contacted me.

While Su Ming was thinking this, Xu Yongfeng spoke.

"You don't have to be so polite." Xu Yongfeng said calmly: "You and Qianqian are friends, and I am not approaching you as a senior councilor of Longyao City. You can be more casual."

Xu Yongfeng's indifferent tone is quite similar to Xu Qianqian's.

How else could they be father and daughter? It is normal for them to have some similarities.

"Then I'll call you Uncle Xu." Su Ming didn't dwell on irrelevant matters, but went straight to the point and asked, "Uncle Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

This question brought Xu Yongfeng into silence again.

Fortunately, the silence did not last long this time.

"I've heard about Qianqian's situation." Xu Yongfeng said, "So, I'm here to thank you."

"Thank you?" Su Ming pretended to be confused and asked, "Did I do anything that deserves thanks?"

"It's okay if you don't want to talk." Xu Yongfeng still spoke in that indifferent tone, "Anyway, I'll remember this favor. I hope you can accept my invitation and come with Miss Yun. I will treat you well as a token of my gratitude."

As soon as Xu Yongfeng said this, Su Ming understood everything.

Xu Yongfeng must have known about the killing plan set up by Gao Xu and Xu Yanyan against Xu Qianqian.

Including the incident where Xu Qianqian was rescued by an unknown strong man and escaped.

Su Ming originally thought that the fact that he was the mysterious powerful man had been exposed, so Xu Yongfeng contacted him and expressed his gratitude in person.

However, it now seems that Xu Yongfeng was mistaken.

(Does he think that mysterious strong man was sent by Yun Langyue?)

With Xu Yongfeng's power, it would not be difficult for him to find out that Xu Yanyan had contacted him and wanted to attack him, but was scared away by a phone call from Yun Langyue.

In addition, after being ambushed, Xu Qianqian did not run away and stayed in Su Ming's team. Xu Yongfeng thought that his daughter would be rescued by a mysterious strong man. It must be because Su Ming asked Yun Langyue to take action.

Su Ming and Xu Qianqian have been so close in recent times, and with such a relationship behind them, it is inevitable that Xu Yongfeng would think this way.

I'm afraid that not only Xu Yongfeng, but also Xu Yanyan will gradually come to this line of thought, thinking that it was Su Ming who asked Yun Langyue to save Xu Qianqian? They don't know that the so-called mysterious strong man is actually Su Ming.

Even if their power is not low, it is almost impossible to guess without any basis that Su Ming is the mysterious strong man who can repel Gao Xu.

After all, Su Ming was only a second-year student and a sorcerer himself. Without any basis, who would suspect that he was a powerful hunter who could defeat Gao Xu?

Realizing this, Su Ming felt relieved.

"My words don't matter, but I can't guarantee whether Miss Yun will agree."

Su Ming then took the opportunity to direct the topic towards the direction that Xu Yongfeng had misunderstood.

"I will have someone send an invitation letter to Miss Yun to formally invite her. I think she will not refuse." Xu Yongfeng really did not doubt it and said, "Anyway, it's all thanks to you this time."

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Su Ming said a few words in a literary way, and then asked: "Has Uncle Xu returned to Longyao City?"

"I came back yesterday." Xu Yongfeng said indifferently: "I was a little busy, so I only thank you today. I hope you can forgive me."

Su Ming was somewhat concerned about Xu Yongfeng's statement that he was "busy with some things".

Those things must be related to the attack on Xu Qianqian, right?

At least, Su Ming didn't think that this senior councilor of Longyao City would swallow his anger about this matter.

He had also heard that Xu Yongfeng's style of doing things in politics was quite domineering and strong. Although he could not be said to be more hawkish, he was definitely more hardline.

Even if Xu Yanyan didn't leave any evidence, Xu Yongfeng would probably join in the dirty work.

Are you allowed to do things secretly but I am not allowed to follow suit?

Does not exist.

It is conceivable that Xu Yanyan will encounter one or two crises in the next period of time.

(Is this the affection of a big family? I am almost filial!)

Xu Yongfeng, who didn't know what Su Ming was thinking, ended the topic at this time.

"I will formally invite you when you return to the academy." Xu Yongfeng said in an inexplicable tone, "Please take care of Qianqian."

"Okay, okay." Su Ming didn't understand the meaning behind Xu Yongfeng's words and nodded.

Only then did Xu Yongfeng hang up the phone.

Just as Su Ming was about to put away his phone, a call came in as quickly as a needle in a haystack.

The caller this time was an acquaintance, and the central figure in the topic just discussed between Su Ming and Xu Yongfeng.

"What's wrong, Miss Xu?"

Su Ming picked up the phone and said with a smile.

"Did he contact you just now?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Qianqian didn't beat around the bush. She ignored Su Ming's weird tone and asked directly.

Su Ming heard the urgency in Xu Qianqian's tone and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"You mean your father?" Su Ming blinked and said, "He did contact me just now."

This girl is quite well-informed.

When Su Ming was thinking this, Xu Qianqian fell into an indescribable silence.

Before Su Ming could express his doubts, Xu Qianqian spoke first.

"I didn't tell him anything about you."

This is what Xu Qianqian said.

But Su Ming understood immediately.

It seems that this young lady is afraid that she will misunderstand and think that she has violated the contract and leaked her information? After all, the contract that Su Ming and Xu Qianqian signed at that time was not that strict. The level of the contract was not high or low. If Xu Qianqian was willing to pay some price, it was not impossible to violate the contract.

After realizing this, Su Ming felt both amused and sad.

"Don't worry, I don't doubt you." Su Ming tried to comfort him, "He thought I asked someone else to do this, so you know."

Xu Qianqian really understood.

Isn't it just passing the buck?

What's so hard to understand about this?

Xu Qianqian suddenly calmed down.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet." Su Ming chose to change the subject and said, "Congratulations on becoming the head of the Hunter Department, Sister Xu."

"Same here." Xu Qianqian said calmly, "Didn't you also become an elite student?"

Su Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "You know all about this?"

"Of course." Xu Qianqian said meaningfully: "Although, in my opinion, a mere elite student is really not worthy of your strength."

At present, the person who knows Su Ming's strength best is undoubtedly Xu Qianqian.

Except for Xu Qianqian, who saw with her own eyes how powerful Su Ming was when he defeated Gao Xu, everyone else had a wrong understanding of Su Ming's strength.

Including Yun Langyue and Shi Lin.

Although they witnessed the entire process of Su Ming obtaining the Nightmare Bloodline and becoming a dual-professional, they had never seen Su Ming take action and had no idea what Su Ming's current strength was.

Of course, Xu Qianqian did not fully realize Su Ming's true strength.

Su Ming has already awakened his seeing pattern, but Xu Qianqian doesn't know about this yet.

It can only be said that with so much hiding behind, no one in this world probably knows how strong Su Ming's real strength is.

Even Su Ming himself doesn't understand.

Who made him never fight with all his strength?

Perhaps, this is what is called survival?

"Have you solved the problem over there?" Su Ming said, "I heard that the people over at the Li family are not willing to give up."

"That's about right." Xu Qianqian said lightly, "After all, Li Wei is a genius of this generation of the Li family. Even though he is a side branch, the Li family has shown full respect for him. This time he suddenly met with misfortune, and it is reasonable that the Li family is unwilling to let it go."

"In other words, it is now basically confirmed that Li Wei has died, right?" Su Ming said nonchalantly, "No chance of luck?"

"I don't know about that." Xu Qianqian said without any concern: "At that time, I couldn't take care of myself, so naturally I couldn't take care of them."

Xu Qianqian did not feel any guilt or self-blame about this.

She wasn't the one who did it, and even if there was suspicion that she was involved, the real culprit was still someone on Xu Yanyan's side.

If there was no evidence and even if the matter was exposed, it would most likely be covered up by the Xu family, Xu Qianqian would definitely push Xu Yanyan to the Li family.

The problem is that the Li family won't care about your family's vicious internal struggles. Knowing that it was your Xu family who started it, they will definitely vent their anger on the entire Xu family and settle accounts with the Xu family.

By then, when the head of the Xu family blames them, neither Xu Qianqian nor Xu Yanyan will escape punishment.

In view of this, Xu Qianqian could only swallow this loss temporarily and let the Li family blame her.

Fortunately, Xu Yongfeng has returned, so this matter will most likely be handled by him secretly, making a big thing small, a small thing nothing, and eventually treating it as if nothing had happened.

Knowing this, Su Ming mourned for Li Wei in his heart for two seconds.

Poor Mr. Li, he died inexplicably.

Even Xu Qianqian said: "Don't worry about the Li family's affairs. I can handle it myself."

"Okay." Su Ming shrugged and said, "What about Xiao Haier?"

"Everything is going well on her end." Xu Qianqian said calmly, "All aspects of the official review have been successfully passed. The child should be sent to me soon."

"Hasn't it been discovered?" Su Ming showed some concern, and said, "Since it's an official channel, wouldn't it be possible that the senior officials in Longyao City who targeted Xiao Hai'er would also notice this matter?"

"It's unlikely." Xu Qianqian shook her head and said, "Unless there is a flaw on my side, who would have thought that among the phantoms that were being shipped out as merchandise, there would be a cub that inherited the bloodline of a dangerous species?"

"That's true." Su Ming nodded.

Although he was still a little worried, Su Ming had no choice as things had come to this point.

Next, we can only rely on Xu Qianqian’s actions.

At this moment, Xu Qianqian suddenly said something.

"Do you know Yun Langyue?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Ming knew that his so-called backing had been exposed.

He wasn't surprised.

Since Xu Yongfeng had found out, it was normal for Xu Qianqian to be able to find out as well.

So, Su Ming replied.

"I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."

Su Ming said this very sincerely.

He really didn't quite understand this woman Yun Langyue, especially her magical train of thought, which really made Su Ming want to retreat.

Unfortunately, Xu Qianqian obviously didn't believe Su Ming's nonsense.

"I've heard before that Yun Langyue seems to be particularly interested in a man. She always mentions him from time to time and even claims to others that she already has a lover."

Xu Qianqian's words made Su Ming stiffen, and he cursed Yun Langyue in his heart.

What does that woman do all day long?

What kind of nonsense is this claiming?

"Many people are curious about that mysterious man." Xu Qianqian didn't know Su Ming's feelings, so she said to herself, "Especially Yun Langyue's suitors. It is said that they have been investigating secretly, and some of them are rich kids who have hired underground professionals."

Su Ming almost vomited blood.

It turned out that, unknown to me, I had become the imaginary enemy of many people, and was still being investigated? Since even Xu Qianqian, who was cold-hearted, knew about this gossip, it proved that this matter was a hot topic, right? As a result, I, the person involved, didn't know about it until now?

Damn! You

Xu Qianqian was about to say something else.

"It's not me!"

Su Ming spoke resolutely, interrupting Xu Qianqian's speech.

He said seriously, "That person is not me. You must have misunderstood."

After these words came out, Xu Qianqian was silent for a while, and then said: "So it really is you."

The confident tone clearly showed that the truth had been found out.

"You misunderstood."

Su Ming still wanted to struggle.

"I'm tired. We can talk next time if you have anything to say."

Xu Qianqian said this and immediately hung up the phone.

"I"

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Su Ming stood there for a long time.

He didn't notice at all that, behind him, a little head popped out slyly, staring at his back, with the light lost in its eyes.
