In the private dining room of a custom-made restaurant in Mingle Center, Gu Zheng brewed some tea and sat cross-legged at the dining table, waiting for the young man to appear.
The agreed time has arrived and Shen Junyan arrived on time.
Robert opened the bamboo curtain for him and the young man walked in gracefully.
He raised the corner of his mouth towards Gu Zheng, his handsome face smiling like the winter sunshine, warming people's whole body.
Gu Zheng felt a little complicated as he looked at this handsome face that was not yet fully mature.
In his impression, Shen Junyan was optimistic, cheerful, well-educated and a rare "three-good" boy. But now he was the leader of the Tanlang Palace, who was feared by his grandfather. The difference between the two was too great, and he couldn't digest it for a while.
He still had a question in his mind: does the Greedy Wolf Palace, this ancient legendary intelligence assassination organization, really still exist?
Could it be that Shen Junyan forged the wolf head coin to vent his anger and deliberately scare my grandfather?
After all, he was just a thirteen-year-old boy, and children of this age were very keen on role-playing.
"Uncle Gu, you are so busy, how come you have time to treat me to dinner today?"
Shen Junyan took the opportunity to look around. The environment was elegant and the decoration was exquisite. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and tease him.
"Such a stylish place, I'm sure the food here must be good too. It's a shame not to let me bring Yun Nuan here."
Gu Zheng slowly handed him the brewed cloud tea, his expression calm: "I asked you to come here because I have a private matter that I want to consult you about."
"Oh? Uncle Gu wants to ask me for advice?" Shen Junyan was surprised and laughed at himself, "I think you are too kind to me."
Robert lowered his eyes and smiled secretly: With the acting skills of his young master, he should be the male lead in a movie. Obviously everything has been planned out, but he looks innocent and wants to play the pig and eat the tiger.
This is exactly what the Martian envoy Xia Hongyan said about the young master - he looks innocent and harmless, but in fact he is a black-bellied boss, a typical example of "white cut black". Once you provoke him, you may be plotted against one day.
Gu Zheng stared at the humble young man in front of him, still unwilling to believe that he was related to the Tanlang Palace.
But what needs to be asked must be asked, and what needs to be faced must be faced.
"Jun Yan, do you know the Greedy Wolf Palace?"
The smile on the young man's handsome face had not faded, but the knuckles of his fingers gripping the teacup had turned white from the force.
He nodded, his voice firm: "I know."
Gu Zheng was stunned: "So, you and Tanlang Palace..." He hesitated to speak, as he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Shen Junyan did not hide it any further: "Yes, I am the master of the Greedy Wolf Palace."
Faced with the young man's calm and composed expression, Gu Zheng's emotions gradually calmed down from shock.
With his experience, at this moment, he finally admitted that Shen Junyan was not as simple as he thought.
Gu Zheng restrained his initial enthusiasm and instead adopted a cold attitude as if he were treating a strong business rival.
Her slender fingers traced the porcelain pattern on the teacup, her expression solemn: "Are you really planning to deal with the Gu family?"
"Yes." Shen Junyan nodded gently and looked at him, "You have been kicked out of the family tree, so you are not included."
Gu Zheng said coldly, "Blood ties still exist, do you think I can stay out of this?"
"So Uncle Gu is planning to support the Gu family and become the enemy of the Greedy Wolf Palace?" Shen Junyan threw the question back.
Gu Zheng fell silent.
He lowered his eyes, then softened his tone: "I know I have no right to plead for the Gu family or Grandpa, but I hope that you can give him a chance to live because of our friendship."
For the sake of his family, this arrogant man bowed his head to a young boy who was seventeen years younger than him.
