A man is over middle age, and he may have run for five. But there is not much of the old state that should appear at this age on the face that is as warm as jade. On the contrary, the years have made him more mature and stable, full of manliness.

He wore a well-cut handmade suit, the material was light and thin, but on him showed the noble atmosphere of the court nobles. If it weren't for his eyes as sharp and intelligent as black gems full of momentum, Xiao Zheng would definitely think that he was a noble son who had lost his way.

But apparently, he is not. Not only that, but the look in his eyes also revealed calmness and calmness. Only those who know this mansion so big that it is easy to get lost can enjoy this vast bamboo forest at leisure.

Or, the bamboo forest itself is his.

Who is he?

Xiao Zheng already has the answer.

But he was curious, shouldn't the middle-aged man in front of him work in the company? Isn't it dinner time? Why did Lin Huayin appear as soon as he left? And with a clear goal, go straight to yourself?

Xiao Zheng stared and greeted the other party with a smile on his face, with good etiquette.

The middle-aged man saw Xiao Zheng's initiative to show goodwill, but sat on the stone bench of the tree without paying attention. With an indifferent expression, he lit a cigarette, and his eyes were calm and full: "Why come?" ”

Why did you come to Yenching?

Why come to the Lin family?

Xiao Zheng smoothed out the subtext of the middle-aged man's short four words, walked a few steps forward steadily, lowered his head slightly, and slowly looked at the middle-aged man: "I want to come and meet you." ”

"You've seen it." The middle-aged man flicked the cigarette ash calmly, and then, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Zheng with a torch-like gaze.

"Hmm. See. Xiao Zheng nodded slightly. But I only felt that the muscles in my body seemed to be whipped by a leather whip, and they became tense in an instant. Even the breathing became extraordinarily heavy. It's like he's under tremendous pressure.

"Anything else?" The middle-aged man took a slow puff of his cigarette.

"Nope." Xiao Zheng shook his head frankly.

"Get out." The middle-aged man spit out these two words strongly, and in the bamboo forest, the momentum changed suddenly, as if there were sharp knives stabbing at Xiao Zheng. He was embarrassed and just wanted to dig a crack and get in.

Get out?

Is this a middle-aged man chasing him?

Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, but he saw that the middle-aged man's face was as usual, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked, "Do you want me to go out?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded lightly and did not make a sound.

"Why?" Xiao Zheng's expression was a little stiff, but his face gradually returned to its original appearance.

His hand was hidden behind his back, and his right hand held the wrist of his left hand, while Xiao Zheng's left wrist was tied with the string of Buddhist beads that Ye Yuhua gave him.

Between contention and indisputability, there is only a distance of one Buddha bead. So at this moment, Xiao Zheng was holding the Buddha beads tightly and adjusting his slightly impetuous mood.

He had already guessed the identity of the other party. But the middle-aged man doesn't report himself, and he won't take the initiative to mention it. But just drove himself away for no reason-Xiao Zheng felt that he should at least say hello to Lin Huayin, right? Even if you don't say hello, you have to give a reason, right?

I'm here to be a guest, not to scold you. This is Xiao Zheng's psychological attitude.

"I don't like you." The middle-aged man said calmly. It seems that such a rather hurtful and sharp sentence is simply a sparse and ordinary sentence for him. Or--in his eyes, Xiao Zheng is really not a man to be liked. He didn't want to hide his true feelings, so he said it bluntly and frankly.

Listening to the reason given by the middle-aged man, Xiao Zheng's expression was relaxed, and he smiled: "There are many people who don't like me." How old are you? ”

"Boss." The middle-aged man said bluntly without hesitation.

This sentence can be described as domineering to the extreme, and there is a faint double meaning.

How old am I among those who don't like you? I'm the boss. This is because the middle-aged man is strong enough, and also because he is the father of Lin Xiaozhu and Lin Huayin. They have the power and the capacity to limit who they can and cannot come into contact with.

"If you say this to me as a strong man. I want to tell you, save it. I've never been afraid of anyone in my life. I'm not going to be afraid of you. If you say this to me as Lin Huayin's father. Xiao Zheng pursed his lips slightly, neither humble nor arrogant. I'll admit that you are indeed the eldest in this family. But I wasn't going to be afraid of you either. You know why? ”

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, just stared at Xiao Zheng indifferently.

"I'm an orphan. No parents, no younger siblings. So since I was a child, I didn't develop the habit of respecting the old and loving the young. You treat me as a friend, and I respect you for three points. You treat me as a slave and a human being. Three words for you: roll the calf. After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, his thumb and middle finger rubbed violently, crushing a Buddha bead. Tiny beads of dust fell to the ground one after another, drifting in the wind like soot.

The middle-aged man, that is, Lin Chaotian, who has a strange yin and yang aura in Lu Dashankou, gradually became subtle when he listened to Xiao Zheng's words, especially when he heard the last three words that Xiao Zheng said, his smoking movement was slightly sluggish, he slowly raised his head, and for the first time looked at Xiao Zheng, who was slightly hunched and standing not far from him, the corners of his lips hooked a subtle arc. Pursed his lips. "Are you sure you want to send me those three words?"

"Unless you don't want to hear those three words." Xiao Zheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

You treat me as a friend, I respect you, and I value you because of Lin Huayin's relationship. But if you want to crush me with identity, with status, I'm sorry. My brother Ah Zheng dares to eat anything in his life, but he doesn't suffer.

"The worst enemy of young people is hubris. Even if you do have arrogant capital. Zhonglin Chaotian stared at Xiao Zheng with his eyes like torches. But actually, I don't think you have the capital to be arrogant. ”

Lin Chaotian said, slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Zhengdao: "There are many young talents emerging in Yanjing every year, but nine out of ten are lost in the arrogance and no one in their eyes. Many of them are better connected and capable than you, even if they are inferior to you in murderous tactics. There are also people who do the dirty work for them. ”

"You don't even have the qualifications to go on stage. You don't even qualify to be nine out of nine young talents who lose to yourself. Why hubris? Why do you think that showing neither humility nor arrogance, and taking the path of the sword, can make me look up to you? ”

Lin Chaotian said word by word: "Go out." The Lin family does not take in murderers. I, Lin Chaotian's daughter, will not marry a man whose hands are covered in blood and who kills people as his job. ”

"Also." Lin Chaotian suddenly thought of something and said in a very relaxed tone. "When you think that Xiaozhu is a simple, easily deceived little girl, think about the man behind her."

"My name is Lin Chaotian."
