Just when Zhou Xixue was thinking about these things with great irritability, a person had already sat down in Lin Ran's previous position: "What are you thinking, I didn't hear you call?" ”

Zhou Xixue came back to her senses suddenly, and after seeing who was on the other side clearly, her tone completely exposed her inner emotions: "It's nothing, it's just that the eldest lady said something about her brother today, and I just thought about it a little bit in a trance." ”

The man sitting across from him called himself a drink and smiled softly, "Her brother? Didn't I give you news, but I'm just a loser. ”

"That's what if Old Man Lin still has expectations for him? I'm going to have to make sure it's safe. Zhou Xixue took a sip of her coffee, "What is this, it can also be called coffee?" ”

She put down the cup of coffee with great disgust: "Wei Wei, what do you say over there?" ”

Wei Wei, who was supposed to investigate the situation of the Xia family according to Lin Cheng's instructions, as if he hadn't heard her complaints about coffee, naturally took a sip of his iced lemon black tea, and said to him in an extremely familiar tone: "What else, the Mo family didn't plan to let us have a chance to start with the Qin family at all, but the action against the Xia family is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Zhou Xixue snorted and tapped her fingers on the table: "Didn't you say that as soon as this eldest lady arrives in Yancheng, she can start acting, why are you ...... now?"

"I can't help it, can I?" Wei Wei interrupted him, but her face was also full of helplessness, and she even sighed before continuing, "No matter how you say it, my boss is also the Lin family, and I still have to help maintain the affection on the surface." ”

After a pause, she changed the subject: "What did she say about her brother?" ”

At the mention of this, Zhou Xixue's eyes lit up: "As I guessed, after the failure of the trial of this grandson he had high hopes for, Old Man Lin no longer cared about this grandson as much as he used to be, and I also inquired about something in Suzhou City...... Two years ago, this name was a taboo for Old Man Lin, and anyone who dared to mention this name in front of him definitely felt that he had lived enough. ”

Wei Wei nodded, and then fell into deep thought, she unconsciously stirred the ice cubes in the cup, and only after a few minutes did she ask, "Then you say...... What is Old Man Lin asking his little princess to come here this time? ”

Zhou Xixue snorted disdainfully: "Although I have to admit that this does still contain the meaning of experience, I can assure you that it is more that Old Man Lin no longer wants to see this granddaughter who has no family in his heart at all, only his own freedom." ”

"Are you sure?" Wei Wei raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Of course," Zhou Xixue looked at Wei Wei with some confusion, "You don't believe my sources?" ”

Wei Wei quickly cleaned up the emotions on his face: "Of course not...... But I heard that after she arrived in Yancheng, there were a lot of activities? ”

When I was still in the New Year, I dealt with those families cleanly.

"Those are all fake," Zhou Xixue laughed mockingly, leaned back in the chair, looked at the puzzled look on Wei Wei's face, and then opened her mouth to explain a few more words, "Whether it is the person I left in the Lin family's company, or the news she revealed to me in the past few years, they have clearly told me, those are just disguises that Old Man Lin bothered to make for her, and the outside world still rumors that she holds a few business lines in her hands?" It's all deliberately spread news, but I've tried it, and those business lines are in the hands of that pair of brothers. ”

"Is that so......" Wei Wei muttered to herself softly.

Zhou Xixue frowned: "What did you just say?" ”

"It's nothing," Wei Wei smiled, and then took the topic away lightly, "The Mo family is probably going to do something to the Xia family this time, if you want to use their hands to make that eldest lady of yours a target, this is an opportunity." ”

After Zhou Xixue heard Wei Wei's words, she asked with some concern: "Are you sure that the Xia family will do something to her?" ”

"Although the business line is not in her hands, at least it seems that when the Xia family and the He family were pinching each other, she represented the Lin family and stood with the He family," Wei Wei shrugged, "So...... You tell me? ”

After hearing this, Zhou Xixue fell into thought, but Wei Wei was not in a hurry, just drank her drink so slowly and methodically, and looked at the decoration of this small shop idly.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Xixue nodded: "What do you want me to do?" ”

The corners of Wei Wei's mouth bloomed with a smug smile-

The fish has bitten the hook, and the rest depends on the patience and skill of the angler.

"You mean, the Xia family went to the little princess to seek a chance to cooperate?"

After listening to the assistant's report, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, it was not that he didn't expect the Xia family to find someone to cooperate with when he laid out this plan, but he didn't expect that the Xia family would actually look for Lin Ran, who he couldn't figure out the details, to walk into this trap.

Wei Wei, who was sitting on the side, was also very surprised, because she didn't expect that she hadn't gotten the news until now, Wei Wei always thought that she had a relatively timely and comprehensive grasp of Lin Ran's information, but this news ......

She couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Ao nodded solemnly at her, "Although we can't arrange people around the little princess, I can still guarantee the authenticity of the sources on the Xia family's side." ”

Wei Wei wanted to say something more, but Lin Cheng's words made her swallow back the questions in her stomach, and the man who had recovered his usual expression said in a deep voice: "Then...... What about the one's reply? ”

Zheng Ao's face showed a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this at the moment. ”

"It's not your fault." Lin Cheng didn't seem to feel a trace of surprise, he spread out a map and looked down intently, "The news of the little princess has always been the most difficult to investigate, and I have known this for a long time. ”

"So what do we do now?" Wei Wei asked, and secretly made up her mind in her heart to meet her in the near future.

It can be regarded as a way to verify whether what Zhou Xixue said is true.

Lin Cheng looked at the map and gently drew a circle on it with his fingers: "The Xia family's sphere of influence is here now, do you see anything wrong?" ”

"Aside from the fact that the sphere of influence has shrunk a lot compared to before we came, please forgive me for not seeing any other differences." After looking at the map for a long time, Zheng Ao and Wei Wei glanced at each other, and then said this.

Lin Cheng suddenly laughed, and there was interest in that smile that Wei Wei couldn't understand: "That's right, it's the shrinking of the sphere of influence." ”

"But isn't that normal?" Wei Wei is still studying this map that I don't know how many times I have read, "We have indeed dealt a lot of blows to the Xia family. ”

Lin Cheng did not change his face or tone of voice because of Wei Wei's question, he was still so calm, and it could even be said that he was so calm that he continued in an indifferent voice: "The blow we gave to the Xia family is indeed not small, but it has not reached the point where it can make their sphere of influence shrink so quickly. ”

Wei Wei seemed to understand something: "You mean...... Is it the reason for the little princess? ”

"Yes, but it's not." Lin Cheng finally stood up and began to look at the photos and other small pieces of information posted on the whiteboard in the room, "The little princess has not been here for a long time, she should not have established her own army, of course, we can't rule out that she laid down manpower here when she was in Sioux City...... However, it is more likely that the little princess came to Yancheng just an opportunity. ”

"Because of her coming, the He family began to attack the Xia family?" Wei Wei frowned, "But why, everything needs a motive, doesn't it?" ”

Lin Cheng shook his head: "The motive is actually obvious, remember what I once told you, He An knows better than anyone that he is more suitable to be a military advisor or a controller behind the scenes than to control a territory." I didn't understand why he had suddenly stepped out of the shadows and into the front of the stage during this time, but now that I think about it, it was probably a gift he was going to give to that person. ”

"But...... He doesn't know what kind of person the little princess is, does he? Wei Wei still didn't understand what Lin Cheng said.

"Pandora's box is also a gift," Lin Cheng explained so easily, "and personally, I think what Mo Xiao wants may not be a person in power, but a puppet that he can manipulate at will." ”

"Okay, let's change to a less heavy topic," Wei Wei stretched, she had been sitting in front of the computer since last night to write a report to Lin Cheng, "Do you think the little princess will agree?" ”

Lin Cheng didn't answer Wei Wei's question immediately, but asked her instead: "If you were a little princess, then what would you do?" ”

Wei Wei pondered for a moment: "If it's me...... I would think that refusal is a very good choice, firstly, not to create a feeling of superiority over He An's status, and secondly, if it is ...... It's never wrong to be cautious at this time. ”

But Lin Cheng laughed out loud.

"How?" Wei Wei felt a little unhappy in her heart, as if the praise that should have belonged to her suddenly disappeared, "Is my analysis incorrect?" ”

"In a sense, this is a very correct analysis," Lin Cheng turned to look at Wei Wei, his eyes flashed with pleasure, Wei Wei suddenly remembered that since the fight with Lin Ran during the New Year, Lin Cheng's eyes would flash with this light whenever it came to her, "But Wei Wei, you forgot a little...... She is the daughter of Lin Ming, and in her hands, do you think we will get any benefits? ”

This question made Wei Wei, who was originally very confident, slightly stunned.
