Half an hour later, studio.
As the password was entered, the door opened. As soon as Zhao Renjie entered, he placed two bundles of hundred-yuan bills on the long table.
"Master, this is what the boy gave you."
"Take what is given to you."
Leng Lingxiao had expected this result, so he didn't show much surprise.
But Zhao Renjie was full of anger.
He had no intention of accepting any money, so he went straight to the right rear of Leng Lingxiao and stood still.
"Are you really planning to keep that kid?"
"What, do you have an idea?"
"He only said his name was Lei Ziyi and didn't even mention the code name. He probably didn't intend to admit it."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a code name."
Leng Lingxiao glanced at the palette and realized that there was not enough green, so he immediately added some more.
Regarding the code name W, he had heard about it half a year ago and knew that it was a rising star, but he did not expect it to be so powerful.
The timing can be so accurate!
If such people are used well, they will be top talents; if not used properly, they will be a disaster.
At this time, Zhao Renjie felt a little anxious when he saw that Leng Lingxiao was calm. He suspected that he had been deceived by W, so he took two more steps.
The words came to my lips but I didn't dare to speak.
The two have been masters and servants for many years. Leng Lingxiao knew at a glance that Zhao Renjie had something to say, so he put down the pen in his hand and looked at him steadily: "If you have any ideas, just tell me."
The tone was calm and did not mean to blame.
"Master, Lei Ziyi is clearly lying. He has never seen Li Wanshan. I think he has ulterior motives and is deliberately approaching us. You have to be careful and don't be fooled by his... sweet words."
The word "blinded" is an understatement.
Leng Lingxiao shook his head and said: "He is not from Li Wanshan, maybe... I have never seen him before."
Zhao Renjie said in surprise: "No?"
"What I mean is...it's true that he invited Jincheng, but the designated person is not his. I guess...he is probably the one who caused great harm to that side." Leng Lingxiao said thoughtfully.
He wasn't sure if his judgment was correct.
But his intuition told him that this person must be kept, because there might be some big conspiracy behind it, which would involve Tang Xiaowan and Grandma Tang.
Zhao Renjie was no stranger to the term "Great Disaster" and would hear Leng Lingxiao's scoldings every few days.
Cruel and cruel, perverted and twisted!
In short, Leng Lingxiao would use whatever words were unpleasant to describe the great disaster.
Zhao Renjie didn't know his name, but he knew that there was a very special note on Leng Lingxiao's phone, with only one word, endure.
So I suddenly became nervous when I heard this.
"Master, do you need to send someone to keep an eye on Miss Tang? If that big scourge is more ruthless than we think, will this cause any...danger to Miss Tang?"
"It's just a few books. The drunkard doesn't care about drinking. I guess Li Zishen should be busy again."
"It's better to remind Miss Tang!"
"No, let's go check the murderer first. Check carefully, including his family members. Maybe someone leaked it to us on purpose."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
After Zhao Renjie left, Leng Lingxiao had no intention of painting anymore, and his mind was filled with the night attack on Meiyuan.
He walked around the room, turning the brass lighter between his fingers, opening it and closing it.
The metallic sound is very crisp!
What do you want to do this time?
What is your relationship with Grandma Tang? Why does she protect you?
It's best to stay away from Tangtang, otherwise...
Leng Lingxiao stood in front of the oil painting and went through everything that had happened in Meiyuan in the past two months, including picking water chestnuts in the morning and him and Li Zishen being secretly photographed and making headlines.
Although he had already taken down the hot search immediately and it didn't have much impact, he just felt something was weird.
In the photo, there is no Tangtang!
But shooting from that angle... it should be there, why should it be specially dealt with?
He worried that he was missing something.
After an unknown amount of time, Leng Lingxiao opened a bottle of wine, stood by the window, and looked at his unfinished oil painting before his bad mood gradually calmed down.
It was a pond with sparkling water.
A young girl holds a fishing rod in her hand, her floral dress is slightly blown by the wind, and beside her is a small basket filled with various fruits.
“What a quiet afternoon!”
"Beside the pond... there should be a young man. This would be perfect. Yes, right there. Where would it be more appropriate?"
"Water chestnuts? Yes, one is fishing and the other is collecting water chestnuts. They are right here, just right..."
Thinking of this, Leng Lingxiao hurriedly walked to the rest area, picked up his cell phone from the sofa and called Li Fugui, the housekeeper of Meiyuan.
I spent the whole night dealing with hackers.
Only then did I suddenly realize what I had overlooked.
"Mr. Leng, what's wrong at this late hour?"
Li Fugui yawned and answered the phone.
"Lao Li, pay more attention to those people who got up early to collect water chestnuts. I suspect that there is... something wrong with them. Li Zishen and I were secretly photographed, and even became a hot search topic after we set off in the afternoon."
"Impossible, the four of them are the old lady's special..."
"Old Li, people will change."
Leng Lingxiao's voice became deeper and deeper, and he sighed midway.
He didn't have much confidence in this matter.
Judging from the angle of the photo, it should be the direction in which the water chestnut is collected.
Everyone in Meiyuan has followed Tang Mei for at least five years, but now that it has been two months since the news of her death, there is no guarantee that something will not happen.
"Does my lady know?"
"We already know about the hot search, but about those people... let's not talk about it for now, so as to save her from thinking too much."
"Okay, I will pay attention. If you really dare to eat the inside and outside..." Li Fugui looked back at the long sword that had been hanging on the wall for a long time, clenching his teeth, "Don't worry, Mr. Leng, you will never be lenient."
"Don't be impulsive, so as not to alert others, call me if you have any questions."
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up the phone, Li Fugui didn't bother to change his clothes and went directly to the kitchen in his pajamas.
At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the night.
The whole plum garden seemed to be sleeping, and everything was quiet except for the small second floor behind the garden.
There is a training ground, chess and card room, and swimming pool.
"Again, no, push-ups."
"Hurry up, man."
"It's okay to give in, right?"
Hearty laughter came from the chess and card room.
Several grown men were making noises when Li Fugui pushed open the door and walked in. He directly raised the bag in his hand high and swung it back and forth in the air several times.
"I knew you were here!"
"What's wrong, Lao Li, you can't sleep either?"
The tallest man stood up. He had just lost a game of cards and was worried about finding a topic to talk about when he got off the stage.
"What was the result?"
"Forget it, they are ganging up to bully me. You are here just in time. Hurry up and fight for me to break this unlucky situation."
"I'm very hungry. Eat something."
"Is there any wine?"
"There are also beef, cucumbers, and dried radishes."
When the others heard that there was meat and wine, they immediately dropped their cards and came over.
After a while, the card game hall turned into a drinking hall.
