Chapter 524

Lan Xinghe gave up; all his effort turned into a sigh: "I never expected that I, clever all my life, would be foolish for a moment."

"In the end I was actually played around by such a greenhorn kid. Moreover, his perceptiveness is even sharper than I imagined."

"At such a young age he already possesses such great strength. If we weren't now enemies, I'd really want to immediately pull Jiang Cheng to my side, make him my man; perhaps we could cooperate well."

"It's a pity our relationship has deteriorated somewhat; if this continues, will I really be able to make him my defeated subordinate?" Lan Xinghe felt many more worries in his heart; he felt things were getting increasingly complicated, questioning whether his ability could really work.

He didn't know.

He only knew that his current strength was inferior to the opponent's.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng's perceptiveness was even stronger than imagined.

If anything else goes wrong, what should we do then?

He was very distraught.

Lin Feng, standing beside him, advised: "All we can do now is take it step by step, then patiently observe; as for the rest, we truly have nothing to say for now."

"After all, this guy Jiang Cheng is young but very capable; I can't guarantee many things in front of you, but hopefully everything will go smoothly!"

Lin Feng explained.

He slightly furrowed his brows, also showing an anxious appearance.

Lan Xinghe reached out and patted his shoulder twice.

"What you said is right; we really can only take it step by step now, and there's nothing more to say about the rest."

"Let's be patient and wait for a while, then… later we'll see!" Lan Xinghe sighed.

Although he had a thousand and one reluctances in his heart, he couldn't help but admit that Jiang Cheng indeed had ability.

This time Lin Feng unusually remained silent.

At the same time, Lan Xinghe finally prepared to talk with Jiang Cheng.

The main thing was that he wanted to see Jiang Cheng's reaction.

He cared a lot about Jiang Cheng's evaluation of him.

If Jiang Cheng's evaluation of him was still decent, then this crisis would be over.

If Jiang Cheng's evaluation of him were poor, or if he harbored some suspicion, he'd have to be extra careful!

Otherwise, if anything happened during this period, he would definitely be the first suspect.

He found Jiang Cheng.

What are his intentions? Does Jiang Cheng still not know now?

Jiang Cheng did not expose his intentions.

Jiang Cheng quietly looked at the person before him and said, "You haven't been busy lately, have you? How did you suddenly find time to come see me?" Jiang Cheng had someone pour tea, and at the same time he himself leisurely sipped tea.

Lan Xinghe forced a smile, but could only suppress his inner discomfort, then greeted Jiang Cheng.

"It's not because nothing happened; actually, something small came up recently, so I wanted to come here to see you."

"What matter?"

"I previously had some opinions about you, thinking you weren't a member of the Su Family, yet they chose to hand over the company to you and let you manage it; I thought you were just a youngster, no matter how capable, how could you possibly compare to us old-timers?"

"Initially I indeed had some objections to you, but later you proved your ability was quite good; afterward I was indeed gradually convinced by your ability, and since then I've completely changed my view of you."

"But lately it seems someone wants to maliciously spread rumors about our relationship."

"The other party has already been racking their brains behind the scenes to try to pit us against each other."

"I only recently received the news; after wrestling with it, I decided to tell you about this."

"What do you think now, any ideas or solutions? I absolutely cannot tolerate such people running rampant!"

Lan Xinghe said this with a face full of anger.

At that moment he was practically bursting with rage; he complained angrily.

Jiang Cheng looked at the person before him who kept acting, and found it quite funny.

Is this guy treating him like an idiot?

Or perhaps…

Is Jiang Cheng really stupid?

That the other party would try to fool him this way?

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Really? But I haven't heard any of those rumors lately."

"You haven't heard?" Lan Xinghe looked astonished: "I thought you had heard!"

"After all, this matter concerns both of us; I certainly don't want it to ruin our relationship because of this!"

"And that guy is simply too despicable and shameless! I've never seen anyone like this!" He held a strong grudge; as he complained, his chest began to heave violently.

He was very displeased.

His current appearance really is one of irritation.

But—

Jiang Cheng quietly looked at him.

Regarding his behavior, Jiang Cheng took note.

This guy running up to his face to act, using this method—isn't that inappropriate?

Jiang Cheng snorted in contempt.

However, Jiang Cheng still had to put on a show on the surface.

"Yeah, I haven't heard any of those rumors lately; where did you hear all this? Could it be that you provoked someone, prompting them to target you like this?"

"You'd better be more careful, and also figure out exactly who is targeting you like this; if you don't get to the bottom of it, I'm starting to worry about you!" Jiang Cheng showed a concerned expression and kindly advised him from the side.

Lan Xinghe still furrowed his brows: "Are you sure there's none? Think about it more carefully."

"If the other side wants us to be opposed, mutually disliking each other, then logically they should be stirring up trouble between us!" Lan Xinghe looked bewildered.

Could it be...

Is it really that he overthought?

He thought it over and over, always feeling that something was off.

But Jiang Cheng now gives him an overly sincere feeling.

At first he had some doubts, but upon meeting Jiang Cheng's sincere eyes, he fell silent for a moment.

He again stared fixedly at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng said: "Every word I speak is absolutely true, without any falsehood."

"And why would I deceive you for no reason right now?" he said, while also picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip.

Jiang Cheng slightly composed his expression.

At that time, Jiang Cheng calmly glanced at the other party.

But beneath his eyes, dark currents surged.

This guy, is he panicking? Or is he afraid of being discovered?

So now he's rushing over to act in front of him?

Jiang Cheng was amused by his behavior.

Especially his foolish tactics now, Jiang Cheng looked on with contempt.

Who couldn't this guy deceive, yet he insists on deceiving him? (End of chapter)
