. When Luo Mutian rushed back to his original position, he saw Xi Lingchen and Sheng Jueyuan just coming down from the upper floor. The official didn't accompany him anymore, and the little boss who loved to tout before was nowhere to be found.

At this time, Sheng Jueyuan's face turned pale, and he looked like he had been greatly frightened and would collapse at any time. Xi Lingchen's face was as usual, and he gave a little support from time to time.

It's strange, if it's true that the two of them witnessed some accident at the same time, why was one frightened and the other like no one?

Luo Mutian calmed down, stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xiling, where was the boss just now?" while turning his gaze and looking behind them.

Xi Lingchen replied lightly, "He still has something to do, so he will rush back to deal with it first." In this sentence, he neither expected himself to believe it, nor did he expect others to believe it, and it was a typical "mall humble words" first-class.

With years of experience in deceit, Luo Mutian instinctively felt that it was not so simple.

The voice that came from upstairs just now, although it had completely lost shape due to fear, but if you think about it carefully, isn't it the voice of the little boss? Now that he is gone, Sheng Jueyuan seems to have "witnessed" something, shocked and out of shape, what happened in the upstairs room?

Recalling Shen Xing's summons, could it be that his concerns were not groundless, that little boss had already been poisoned?

Judging from his identity, he does meet the conditions of "running a small and medium-sized business, coming to his country from a foreign country to do business, and being unfamiliar with the place". According to this analysis, if he hadn't suddenly received a summons just now and went up with them, would their preferred target be replaced by himself?

In a moment, Luo Mutian was already in a cold sweat.

Although they want to find out the truth about the private room upstairs, if they are also one of the "targets", they naturally can't tell the truth to themselves. At this time, the more you ask, the more dangerous it becomes!

Sheng Jueyuan was still stumbling, and as soon as he walked to his seat, he fell in with an unsteady foot. Holding the wine glass, it seemed that he wanted to take a sip of the spirits to suppress the shock, but the fingers holding the glass were constantly trembling, and he could not reach his mouth.

"They...... It's not the first time they've done this kind of thing, isn't it? Obviously, they are all people with heads and faces, and even ......" he paused, as if he had some scruples, and did not want to give the most crucial name, and only replaced it with his eyes. On such an occasion, such an act was done in such a cruel manner...... Aren't you afraid of the East Window incident?"

Xi Lingchen also sat down opposite him, poured himself a glass of wine, and replied indifferently, "Actually, most of them are voluntary." ”

"They don't want to get into trouble more than you do, so they'll negotiate terms with the bosses at the beginning and give them what they want the most. ”

"Power, wealth, beauty, as long as they can get it, they will try to be satisfied. Or it is to give the green light to the enterprise and be exempted from annual inspection. For those small bosses, the salted fish turned over, and the business road was smooth all the way, earning money that they couldn't even think of before. The price to be paid is only a temporary bit of health, and I believe that most people will choose to exchange. ”

Luo Mutian was confused, what were they doing?

"You don't know yet, right," Xi Lingchen poured himself a drink, and threw out a heavy topic, "If you don't plan ahead, their next target will already be determined to be you." It will probably be done on the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new factory. ”

As he spoke, Sheng Jueyuan, who had just calmed down, was shocked again, "It's me?

"Because you have a handle. Xilingchen raised his eyebrows as a matter of course.

"If they follow you, as long as you cooperate, they will issue a special pardon to Aqi, do you do it or not?"

Sheng Jueyuan was stunned, his face changed repeatedly for a long time, and finally sighed heavily, "So that's ......"

"No," but soon, he shook his head firmly, "For the sake of Ah Qi, not for anyone!"

"Again," he said tentatively with luck, "Calculate the time, Ah Qi will be able to come out in a few years, don't be in a hurry to ...... this moment"

Xi Lingchen smiled, but there was cruelty in his smile.

"It's taken for granted. If others want to mess with you, are they afraid that there is no way? They can casually weave some accusations against Aqiluo, such as finding some new evidence back then, or what mistakes he made in it, and then give him a few more years in prison from time to time, and then negotiate a deal with you. This kind of operation of raising the price first and then discounting it should be seen a lot in the mall, right?"

"If you still don't agree, they can even lock him up indefinitely, anyway, the righteous people outside will only applaud. ”

"I can tell you," he casually revealed one after another, "they only target the group of small and medium-sized bosses, on the one hand, because large enterprises are related to the lifeline of the international economy and involve the whole body, on the other hand, small bosses will have the courage to sacrifice their lives, on the contrary, the richer the people, the more they will spare their lives." ”

"But," he glanced up casually, "a person who has money and has the power to be held by the authorities, do you think they will easily let it go?"

Sheng Jueyuan's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and he wanted to speak several times, but finally lowered his head and sighed a long sigh, "Ah Qi was too confused back then!"

It was only now that he was finally able to hold the glass of wine, and as if venting, he poured all the wine into his throat.

At this time, Luo Mutian was already one head and two years old, why did he not understand the more he listened to it?

"Brother Xiling, no matter what, thank you for telling me the news. Then, Sheng Jueyuan sincerely thanked him, "Indeed, I have to plan early...... Plan ahead......"

"By the way, if you know their secrets, why would they let you out of it so easily?"

Xi Lingchen had long expected that he would inquire about this, and he obviously had no intention of hiding it.

"Because I am with them, let me be a single erbium food, the value is always limited, it is better for me to pull the strings and find more erbium food for them. They listened and thought the deal was worth it, so they made me the middleman. ”

"If you don't want to be an enemy, be a friend, if you don't want to be eliminated by them, just blend in with them. This is the way to survive today," as he spoke, his gaze suddenly turned to Luo Mutian, who had been ignored for a long time, "Mr. Luo, are you?"

Luo Mutian's scalp was numb. He's hinting at himself...... He had heard some secrets just now, and now he was warning himself to stand by them

If you don't want to be wiped out, keep your mouth shut and become a fellow believer......

……

In a private room on the second floor.

The paparazzi is still checking the list and arraignment one by one.

The price given by each newspaper was written down in a small notebook. Now he is wondering which one can squeeze more oil and water, and how he should slash them on a reasonable basis.

Just as he was calculating, the door of the private room suddenly opened, and a purple-haired young man walked in with a cold face.

"What did you record? Tell me about it, too?"

The paparazzi stared. There was an aura that made him very uncomfortable, like a human facing a fierce beast. Even if he didn't move, just standing there, there would be an invisible aura emanating from him, which was terrifying.

Although I was a little apprehensive subconsciously, the paparazzi have done a lot in this business, and they have not been threatened by others. The people who were picked up by him have all come to him to talk to him with both soft and hard, and he will always give full play to his professionalism, "wealth cannot be lewd, and power cannot be bent", insisting on exposing the most real side of idols to the public.

So this time, he was only stunned for a moment, and then he glared back with courage: "What are you doing? Who are you, which newspaper are you? If you want my materials, how much will you pay?"

The purple-haired young man suddenly laughed, "How much do I pay?"

He raised his palm slightly, and a purple light suddenly extended from the front of his five fingers, like a substantiated blade, directly against the neck of the paparazzi!

"Then it depends on how much you think your life is worth. ”

The paparazzi buzzed in their brains, and they felt the cold killing intent on their necks, and their whole bodies were so frightened that they softened...... Demons?"

As an ordinary person living in a metropolis, even a running beast rarely has a chance to see, let alone a monster that can transform into a human form?

The purple-haired young man sneered with satisfaction when he saw that he recognized his identity, withdrew his light blade, pulled over the chair next to him and sat down.

"Well, I'll hear you. ”

This demon general is Xi Hanjun. Originally, he was just a lowly demon who was not taken seriously, and in the battle of the Time Clock Tower, he could only bitterly stammering with Zhong Yanyan and Princess Guan Xuan, and he was disliked by them.

But perhaps because he has been oppressed since he was a child, his scheming is far deeper than others. In the beginning, it was he who discovered the reincarnation secret of the Time Clock Tower, won the trust of Zhong Yanyan and the others, and used this to kill a large number of innocent spiritual cultivators.

Later, when he returned to the demon clan, Zhong Yanyan plotted against Princess Guanxuan, and it was also under the design of Xi Hanjun that he killed himself. With this credit, Princess Guanxuan regarded him as a great benefactor, and the demon lord Wanche also promoted him exceptionally and promoted him to be a general in the clan, in addition to performing daily affairs, he was responsible for protecting the safety of the princess.

For Xi Hanjun, this identity is certainly a step to the sky compared to the past, but he will not be satisfied. He's going to keep climbing, and he's going to climb higher than everybody. He wants to copy Zhong Yanyan's routine, marry the princess, and succeed the demon king...... And he also believes that with his own intelligence, he will never follow the old path of Zhong Yanyan.

After cultivating her feelings during this time, the princess has indeed trusted him very much. But he could see that the princess had never been able to let go of the Fire Phoenix King who had saved her life, and for herself, she only had the friendship between friends.

Xi Hanjun was more calm than Zhong Yanyan, he knew that there were some things that could not be rushed. When he was thinking about how to further enhance his relationship, Duanmu Zhi, who had conspired with the Sky Devouring Beast and played with everyone in the Time Clock Tower, suddenly took the initiative to contact him not long ago.

After asking him about the recent situation of the demon race, he said, "Several hot events in human society have the shadow of evil god activities behind them, I hope you can find out the truth for me, and the reward will not be less than you."

At that time, Xi Hanjun only felt funny, he was a demon clan, and the other party was a demon clan, and he was not a fellow believer, and now he wanted to investigate the hot events of human beings by himself?

Duanmuzhi's answer was also very simple, but it shocked Xi Hanjun's heart.

He, "What if I also have information on one of the evil gods?"

The four evil gods are the remnants of the evil emperor, before the evil emperor appears, the four demons will be reborn, if the evil gods are active recently, isn't it Ming, the four demons and the evil emperor are about to be reborn?

This kind of information is of great interest even within the demon clan. If he can really find valuable news, maybe a few Demon Lords will be promoted to his official position again!

At that time, Duanmu Zhi also told him that there was a key person among them, that is, the prime minister of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, and he could start from him.

Xi Hanjun is not familiar with the situation in the human world, and he is a demon race, so he has a lot of inconveniences, and after several inquiries, he learned that the prime minister was in a private room in this hotel today, drinking with other officials. However, when he arrived, he seemed to have missed the main event, but fortunately, there seemed to be a paparazzi who recorded the whole process and just asked him.

As for why Duanmuzhi didn't ask Xilingchen directly, but asked Xi Hanjun to investigate, this is really ...... A last resort.

The key is that Xilingchen is too "black"! Cooperate with him, don't want to dig out anything from him, but first you have to be taken by him step by step, so that there are no bottoms left.

Previously, in the auction room, when he offered to raise the price for Phoenix Tears, Duanmuzhi had already been slaughtered by him, and he even used some hellish soul test strip to write the contract. Now I owe him money, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off for hundreds of years. He didn't want to add another amount to his debts!

Sure enough, the orcs are still suitable for cooperating with the orcs. Although demons are not the same way, simple animals are always much better than humans.

That is to say, in Duanmuzhi's mind, even a demonic beast is kinder than Xilingchen.

Back to the present. The paparazzi sat in place, shivering. He was afraid that once the news was released, it would not be exclusive from now on, and that opportunity to make a windfall would be missed in vain. But if he insists on not, he is also afraid that the demons on the opposite side will be ruthless, and he will really cut it.

The two sides were at such a stalemate, and for a while, the jade slip that the paparazzi placed on the table suddenly shook.

From the screen, you can vaguely see the words "Tiansheng Newspaper".

Did the Tiansheng Newspaper send a message back to them? Are they willing to accept the price they just proposed?

Xi Hanjun's gaze also followed closely to the jade slip on the table, and in his eyes, two bursts of purple lightning also shot out, turning into an invisible barrier to block the jade slip.

"Now give me an honest explanation, and then you take the arraignment, and I'll go. ”

Maybe it's the difference in status, at this time, when he spoke again, he was no longer as cautious as he was at the beginning, but naturally brought a bit of the momentum of a high-level demon general, no less than Zhong Yanyan at the beginning.

"Actually......" The paparazzi stared at the jade slip in front of him, his throat rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "The prime minister of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom just now, in that room, he still carried a very strange thing......"

"Weird stuff?" Xi Hanjun raised his eyebrows with some interest, "How weird?"

"That thing eats people!" the paparazzi subconsciously shouted, lowering his voice a few points, "Prime Minister...... The prime minister also called that thing, 'Mirage-sama'...... "To watch the new chapter of zui, please go to the mobile phone address.
