Chapter 24: Transaction between Men
Xiaowen was driving the car, but he kept looking at the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Lian Ye was keenly aware that this insight was developed in order to survive, but he never expected that one day he would be able to use it to "read people's expressions".
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions? Or do you want to advise me?"
Xiao Wen seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time, and immediately turned around and said, "It's fine if you provoke Luo Pingcheng, but why did you go and get involved in the affairs of Shi Mingguang and those workers?"
In order to take revenge on Luo Pingfeng, Chi Tiansheng deliberately sowed discord between Luo Pingcheng and Luo Pingfeng, and also encouraged Luo Pingcheng to invest in the South Bank project. Although Xiaowen felt that it was not a wise move, he could barely understand it.
Xiaowen couldn't understand why they transferred those workers and their families as if they were trying to provide support for Shi Mingguang.
If Shi Mingguang was a great beauty, Xiaowen could still understand that the young master was attracted by her beauty and wanted to be a hero to save her.
"Isn't helping Shi Mingguang and those workers the greatest punishment for the Luo family? Why did the Luo family want to deal with Shi Mingguang? Why did they want to kill those workers? Killing one wasn't enough, but they also wanted to eliminate them and their families completely?"
Lian Ye spoke in a firm tone. Seeing Xiao Wen's confused look, he shook his head in disdain: "Still don't understand? The Luo family is afraid. As long as we save those workers and Shi Mingguang, we can make the Luo family lose miserably in court and make them face legal sanctions."
Instead of a sudden realization, Xiao Wen reached out and touched the young master's forehead with a worried look on his face. "Young master, are you okay? This is not your style! What's that thing you always talk about? Justice? Legal sanctions? Those are all beautiful lies to fool children. A seasoned businessman doesn't believe in those things."
Is Chi Tiansheng such a person? That's why he bribed the middleman and was willing to stab Luo Pingfeng in the back to achieve his goal and take over the land in Nan'an.
What Chi Tiansheng trusts in is not justice, but his way of survival, especially the survival rules facing the Luo family and Luo Pingfeng.
It was with this belief that he went to the appointment that night, which is why he kept something in reserve.
I discovered that Chi Tiansheng had installed a waterproof miniature camera inside his collar, and had also saved the recorded footage to his personal secret cloud drive when I was checking his personal online account and cloud drive two days ago.
I didn't tell Xiaowen and Butler Xu about the existence of the video that night. If they knew about this evidence, they would definitely settle the score with the Luo family.
This account must be settled in person tonight.
This piece of evidence is the best leverage to control Luo Pingfeng, and it is also the best bargaining chip to protect Shi Mingguang. He cannot give it to Xiaowen and Lao Xu to seek justice for "Chi Tiansheng".
"Let's go to Ouka Restaurant." Luo Pingfeng would dine at the top floor of Ouka Restaurant every Wednesday at noon. Lian Ye knew it very well. Sometimes Luo Pingcheng would also go there to join in the fun.
"Master, are you hungry? But you don't usually eat here. You said the food there is expensive and not fresh."
Xiaowen was full of confusion, but the young master insisted on going there, so he had to re-navigate and take a different route.
Luo Pingfeng was shocked and surprised by the arrival of "Chi Tiansheng", which was clearly seen from his angry eyes and the slightly trembling hands holding the knife and fork.
Lian Ye was not sure how Chi Tiansheng had fought with Luo Pingfeng in the past. He could only communicate with him based on his hatred and resentment towards the Luo family and Luo Pingfeng.
Several bodyguards from the Luo family tried to stop him, but they were all knocked to the ground in a few moves.
Looking at his hands and legs all night, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after changing into Chi Tiansheng's body, he still retained the memory of kung fu and his moves were swift and agile.
"Heh, what? You want to beat me here? Or kill me?"
Luo Pingfeng suddenly regained his composure, cut the steak elegantly again, and slowly put it into his mouth.
Chi Tiansheng didn't dare to do anything to him. This was a public place. Besides the bodyguards who were knocked down, there were also people coming and going in the restaurant, waiters, and the restaurant manager.
If Chi Tiansheng dared to attack him, their Chi family would be finished.
Lian Ye sat down with a smile, face to face with Luo Pingfeng, keeping a safe distance, just leaning forward a little and speaking to him in a low voice.
"Luo Pingfeng, I can put aside the matter of you trying to murder me and killing that man for now. Although, I already have evidence. What you did that night on the South Bank, and what your people did to me, are all clearly recorded. I have to say, your face is quite photogenic."
The last sentence came out of Lian Ye's mouth for some reason. He obviously just wanted to warn Luo Pingfeng that what happened on the south bank was filmed.
He likes to tease and provoke people at any time. It seems that this is the characteristic of Chi Tiansheng's mouth.
Even when his crime was pointed out, Luo Pingfeng remained calm and indifferent: "Oh, what are the conditions? What do you want me to pay? You and I are both businessmen, and you are not such a generous person."
Very good, Luo Pingfeng is indeed a smart person, no, it should be said that he is a calculating businessman who knows how to weigh the pros and cons and naturally understands that everything is a transaction.
Luo Pingfeng asked so frankly that there was no need to beat around the bush and he could just directly state the terms of exchange.
"Don't attack Shi Mingguang. Follow the legal process honestly. If your group's legal team can win against Shi Mingguang in court, he'll have no choice but to accept the verdict and won't continue to pursue the case. If you lose, isn't that what you deserve? Just return the money to the workers. What's wrong with that?"
He caused a car accident and killed people, and also wanted to set fire to kill people to silence them. It's time for Luo Pingfeng to learn to deal with problems in a legitimate way.
The Luo family is too accustomed to darkness. They immerse themselves in it and even use despicable and dirty means to drag others into the dark abyss. It is obvious that there is only more despair and danger in such a hell.
Luo Pingfeng's eyes were red and he was burning with anger. If he didn't have the evidence in his hand, he would probably want to kill him again right here on the spot.
"Okay, the food in this restaurant is really not that good. I'd better go somewhere else to fill my stomach and not disturb our Luo family's second young master from enjoying his meal."
Before leaving that night, he deliberately lowered his head to bite off the steak on Luo Pingfeng's fork, chewing it with disgust.
This must also be Chi Tiansheng's shadow. He turned and left at night, listening to the people behind him cursing, "Chi Tiansheng, you bastard," and wondering: Could it be that Chi Tiansheng hasn't completely disappeared from this body? When he encountered Luo Pingfeng, sensing a greater stimulation, would Chi Tiansheng's instincts reveal some characteristics?
