Ai Mingyuan thought for a moment, then came out leaning on his cane. Outside, under Shi Lingheng's pressure, Fu Weidong's face was flushed red, but he didn't beg for mercy, and kept saying things like, "Sooner or later, I will be better than you."
He's terrified of everything he does now, so he carefully found a safe spot before sitting down.
Unable to resist asking, "Shi Zhiqing, why haven't you been going to the county town lately?"
Shi Lingheng released Fu Weidong from his sparring match, letting him train on his own, then walked towards Ai Mingyuan and said meaningfully, "Young Master Ai, you seem to care about me quite a bit?"
Ai Mingyuan subconsciously wanted to avoid eye contact, but then realized that he couldn't do that, so he stared at Shi Lingheng with a defiant look on his face.
"Isn't it normal for comrades to help each other?"
Although he tried to keep up the act, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Shi Lingheng let out a soft chuckle, a sound that seemed to resonate deep within people's hearts, sending a chill down their spines. Yet, upon closer inspection, he found Shi Lingheng to be the same as always.
His heart skipped a beat as he recalled what his family had told him on his way here: Shi Lingheng had blood on his hands and had dared to fight wolves when he was young.
Swallowing hard, he felt his legs go weak under the overwhelming pressure from Shi Lingheng, but thankfully he was sitting down.
Shi Lingheng looked at him with deep eyes and said in a low voice, "Ai Mingyuan, why have you come? Do you really think I don't know?"
Whether it's Yu Qing, Wen Yuennan, or now Ai Mingyuan, they've all made their intentions too obvious. Anyone who isn't a fool could see it. Shi Lingheng didn't want to wait any longer; he wanted to find the people behind the scenes who had killed his brother and sister-in-law as soon as possible...
These lackeys, one after another, are really annoying.
When he first arrived, he was all alone, but now Zhang Desheng has helped him understand the Fu family's strength, and Ruan Jiu is also helping him...
It's time to stir things up and alert the enemy.
Ai Mingyuan was genuinely startled and almost fell backward while sitting there.
Shi Lingheng took a step back with disdain, narrowing his eyes: "Don't mess with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen. His face was covered in sweat from practicing boxing, and washing his face with cool water made him feel much better.
Ai Mingyuan remained in a position where he was about to fall. He wanted to retort, and he knew that Shi Lingheng was not stupid and would have noticed their actions, but he did not expect him to bring it up.
Fu Weidong glanced at Ai Mingyuan with sympathy, wondering what Shi Lingheng had said to him, his face deathly pale.
Ai Mingyuan managed to regain his composure and try to appear more normal.
Since that's the case...
He went straight to the kitchen doorway and looked at Shi Lingheng: "When did you find out?"
Shi Lingheng was gulping down water when he heard his voice. He wiped his mouth and said, "Do you guys think everyone is an idiot?"
Ai Mingyuan, however, toned down his usual exaggerated and pretentious attempt to imitate Shi Lingheng, and smiled with his head down: "I'm clearly similar to you in the past, aren't I?"
Shi Lingheng paused for a moment, then his gaze fell on Ai Mingyuan...
He genuinely didn't know where Ai Mingyuan got this illusion from, making him feel that he was the same as before...
"You?"
Although it was just those two words, they made Ai Mingyuan's face turn red instantly. He could hear the contempt in those two words from Shi Lingheng.
