Of course, for Ling Yao, the matter of passively hiding the beauty(?) in the golden house will soon no longer be the focus.
The point is...
"You were hiding on the rafters? How long have you been hiding there? What did you hear?"
Ling Yao held his forehead and felt a headache.
He wasn't sure if he had said anything bad about this kid in all the conversations just now.
As for a fifteen-year-old kid, he is extremely vindictive! (How do you know, what have you done before)
"It's up to you! You dare to say it, why don't I dare to listen!"
A certain kid straightened up... ah no, he was so strong that he couldn't stand straight. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and sat down on the chair Liu Yuya had just sat on.
The point is, I didn’t say this to you! !
Climbing the rafters of other people's rooms and eavesdropping on other people's private conversations, is this a well-educated look?
Ling Yao's heart went crazy.
But... Ling Yao sighed helplessly.
It's okay for others to say that this kid has no tutor. As a member of the master's family...
He still doesn't know how this guy's parents belched farts, and how his grandfather, as the leader of the branch, was so arrogant?
I really can’t say this.
To be honest, Ling Linhan's behavior is really troublesome.
For example, he stubbornly adheres to inexplicable "principles", easily believes in people with ulterior motives, and even almost makes himself burp...
But deep down in his heart, he actually always insisted that he was a kind and upright person.
Even though Ling Yao is annoyed by this kid, to a certain extent, even he must admire this kind of spirit...
How did such a tangled individual come to be?
And he actually saved himself this time.
Well, I feel like I can be forgiven a little for the stupid things he did during the Wolf King War...
"We've written off what happened this time and what happened a year ago."
Ling Linhan just sat upright and as soon as he opened his mouth, Ling Yao was stunned.
No, wait, what was written off? Let me take back my preamble! ?
Did you just write off the fact that you almost killed me? !
Even if I can forgive you, it should be me, the client, who proposes it!
Where did you get the courage to speak first?
Seeing Ling Yao's confused look, Ling Linhan seemed a little unhappy:
"That time a year ago, it was indeed my fault. I apologize! But you have to vent your anger even if you want to!
"You were able to escape this time, thanks to me saving you once, right? Is there anything wrong with the two?"
Ling Yao felt a lump stuck in his throat.
Although I do know through complaining that you saved me this time...
But under normal circumstances, do you think I would believe you?
Now he was even beginning to doubt whether this kid was really fifteen years old. Why don’t you even have the basic logic to get along with others?
"I think the problem is quite big..."
As soon as Ling Yao said these words, Ling Linhan's eyes immediately widened, with an expression on his face that said, "You guys are simply unreasonable."
However, Ling Yao was unmoved. He raised his right hand expressionlessly, extending his index finger to the sky:
"One. What happened a year ago has already happened. Even if you really save me this time, this matter cannot be canceled out."
Ling Linhan was about to speak, but Ling Yao quickly raised his second finger:
"Two. Even if the positive and negative can be canceled out, it's me who decides whether to forgive you, not you using this tone to order me.
"Since you are talking to me, you should first put aside your prejudices and give each other enough respect.
"If you are just here to express your self-righteous thoughts, then you can get out of my room right now. I promise not to report to the college any students who covet my personal privacy and come to spy on me."
"Who covets you!"
Ling Linhan gritted his teeth. He finally made up his mind to learn something about the situation from this guy personally and have a good talk with him calmly...
But when this guy talked, it almost choked him to the point of wanting to fight! (In fact, you are the one who chokes the most)
However, despite gritting his teeth, he did not refute Ling Yao's previous words.
After all, he really wasn't here to blame each other, that would be meaningless.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with him (???), since the other party couldn't accept this tone, he just didn't like it.
Of course, Ling Yao also noticed Ling Linhan's subtle attitude, so he silently stretched out his third finger:
"Three. And the most important point...what can you use to prove that you saved me this time?"
Suddenly, an awkward silence filled the room.
Ling Linhan twisted his neck: ...? I don't think I've thought about this problem.
Ling Yao:? ? ? ? Have you really not thought about it?
It’s a miracle that he hasn’t been beaten to death with this idiot-like way of life and treatment of others!
He suddenly felt sympathy for Zhong Zhennan and Huang Kunlong, two "villains" who seemed to be "looking for trouble to provoke the protagonist".
——After all, it’s not unreasonable for them to want to mess with this guy!
"You...don't believe it? Prove..."
Ling Linhan frowned, as if he was really worried about how to prove himself.
Ling Yao winced.
It seems that the brat didn't want him to accept it unreasonably, but he really didn't think that others would doubt what he said.
This guy... what kind of comfortable life does he have on weekdays?
Does everyone trust him unconditionally?
No...it's not so much Shushun.
--false.
Just like a tiger cub kept as a pet by humans
——Although it also has sharp claws and teeth, it will hunt prey released from the cage under the training of its owner.
But growing up in an environment carefully designed by some people, I always thought that the world should be comfortable and warm, with no worries about food and clothing.
Everything he does is correct and just, and what he says will be believed by others. There will always be people behind him who support him unconditionally, and all his efforts will receive equal or even excessive returns...
Such tiger cubs indeed live a carefree life, making them the envy of their peers.
But once it reaches adulthood, it will one day come into contact with the real world.
This cruel, predatory world where life is in danger if you make the wrong move...
It will be easily defeated or even torn apart by other carnivores, even the same kind.
This is how this brat makes him feel now.
"Believe it or not!! Anyway, what I said was only about a year ago. You will have to pay back sooner or later what happened earlier!
"I'm just here to ask you a few things today. As long as you don't interrupt me, nothing else matters!"
Well, just pretend he didn't think about it.
Why should he think about the future of this brat with all his teeth and claws? ask for contempt.
As long as this kid doesn't cause trouble for him, he will say God's blessing.
Ling Yao spread his hands:
"I didn't say I didn't believe it either."
Ling Linhan:? Then you talked so much before! Playing with me!
"You also said that things that happened earlier will have to be settled sooner or later, but now that we have made the five-year agreement, I don't want to cause any more complications."
Ling Yao calmly crossed his arms and looked at Ling Linhan.
"As long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble for me in the future, other disputes will be left to three years later, and you will directly speak with your fists.
"I guess...you think so too, right?"
Seeing Ling Yao's sly sneer, Ling Linhan took a deep breath and smiled back with the same provocation:
"What I wish for!"
The two people looked at each other tensely for a moment, and Ling Yao suddenly laughed, squinting his eyes and waving his hands:
"Okay, okay, let's leave now. I'm still very weak and need to rest. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'll lose my life."
"I haven't gotten to the point yet!" Ling Lin jumped up from his chair.
And what the hell is Zhishou!
"Ah? But what else can we talk about?"
Ling Yao rubbed his eyes innocently and looked at him with one eye.
"Do you want to discuss with me how I should beat you in three years?"
After hearing this, Ling Linhan was so angry that his veins jumped.
Ling Yao relied on the fact that they were now within the scope of the college, and the college's senior officials were too busy to take care of themselves and would not allow students like them to cause trouble again.
The top management of Jianmen is still here, and Ling Linhan doesn't dare to touch him at this time.
So angry! Why was he obsessed with saving such a disgusting guy?
The mustard bag on Ling Linhan's waist flashed, and a large mountain of bamboo slips and scrolls suddenly appeared behind him.
He picked up a roll at random and threw it at Ling Yao:
"look by youself!"
Naturally, Ling Yao would not be hit by this powerless blow.
He casually reached out and caught the flying scroll smoothly.
Then he opened the buckle with one hand, pulled it gracefully with the other hand, unfolded the bamboo slips smoothly, and lowered his head to take a closer look.
Ling Linhan secretly clenched his fists: ...Why are you so cool? Why is he so handsome when no one is watching? nausea! Annoying! ! (You are just jealous)
Ling Yao didn't notice Ling Linhan's little movements. As he read the contents of the scroll bit by bit, his frown deepened.
"Where did you get this information?"
What Ling Linhan showed him was none other than the stories of how other clans had suppressed, plotted and even betrayed the Hengnan clan, and even targeted Ling Linhan himself.
The most important thing is that the results of Ling Linhan’s investigation include oral confessions and signature certificates
——Even the signature of Ling Yao himself.
Although he remembered that when he signed these documents, he had no intention of suppressing that branch;
But if you follow the clues connected on the scroll, it seems that the culprit of everything is really yourself.
"You don't have to worry about it. I naturally have my own channels. As for whether it's true or not, you know best, don't you?"
Although Ling Yao was shocked by the content and... richness of these scrolls. But what surprised him even more was that
——Ling Linhan’s attitude.
What does this kid want to do when he gives these things to himself at this time?
reconciliation? That is impossible. If you really want to reconcile, you won't bring these things out, but just be magnanimous.
However, it is true that the attitude of wanting to fight to the death with him without saying a word two years ago is different.
And if these things are true, at least Ling Linhan thinks they are true. It seems that it is not completely incomprehensible for this guy to hate his master and himself so much.
Of course he himself knows best what he did back then...but after reading these scrolls, he doesn't seem to be so clear.
Ling Yao rubbed his temples with a headache.
It seems that there is indeed a big problem within the Ling family.
——And it’s a big problem that he and the patriarch Ling Weiran have been investigating for so long but haven’t been able to find out!
This is no longer just someone taking advantage of the opportunity to suppress, but someone is deliberately creating a conflict between the main family and the Hengnan branch!
The people he and the clan leader sent down might not be trustworthy either.
Bribery, dissatisfaction, mind control... any of them are possible.
But who would put so much effort into the small Ling family?
"I know. I will check these things myself. But, you..."
Ling Yao originally wanted to ask, although these things were indeed necessary for him, why did Ling Linhan suddenly want to hand them over to him.
You can’t expect that after reading these things, you will suddenly “feel remorseful” and then “cry your head in arms” and “beg for forgiveness.”
If these things were really what he wanted to do, would he suddenly repent?
And if he wanted him to investigate... shouldn't he be the one the brat distrusts the most?
But Ling Yao still didn't say this question in the end.
He had noticed it since Ling Linhan first appeared, but it was just more obvious now.
——Although he looks aggressive, irritable and rude on the surface, this guy... seems to be using these emotions to cover up his low mood.
Ling Yao sighed. It seems that at least the conversation between him and Liu Yuya just now must have been heard by this guy.
Although her image in someone's mind may be irreversible, Liu Yuya mentioned Yue Qingying and Yin Ruobing... I guess this kid still cares about them.
And the only reason for doing this is that someone finally begins to discover that there are unexpected lies and deceptions around him.
Now that Ling Linhan's attitude has softened a bit, he doesn't want to be aggressive anymore.
After all, these information...
Ling Yao weighed the scroll in his hand.
Still very valuable.
He also needs to have equivalent rewards.
And... let the captive tiger out of the cage, let it see the truth of the world in advance, and the owner's seemingly doting but cruel intentions.
Will it return obediently to its original small world?
The so-called "master" will be furious, right?
No matter how you think about it, I think it will be interesting.
Ling Linhan looked at someone who was mid-sentence and suddenly showed a smile that made him tremble:
"However, since you have already become suspicious, then...instead of watching me work...
"Wouldn't it be more meaningful for you to see for yourself what the real world is like outside?"
===Small Theater===
Ling Linhan: Although you say it’s beautiful, the fox tail behind it has already been exposed!
