Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Li Haibo noticed that as soon as Ling Yao finished speaking, Zhang Zhibo's face turned dark instantly.But the man named Hu Fangtao was taken aback for a moment, a flash of ecstasy flashed across his face, and he quickly returned to being upright and indifferent—although anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was suppressing his emotions.

If he really told Lin Tianyu according to Ling Yao's statement, Zhang Zhibo's kindness to save people will undoubtedly be weaker, and the kindness he can get will naturally be much less.Of course Zhang Zhibo would be unhappy.

But it is impossible for Zhang Zhibo to target Nan Botu, a serious Nan family, let alone show dissatisfaction with him and Lin Tianyu, so he can only vent his anger on Hu Fangtao.

However, this is only the first layer.

What's even more frightening is that if the Li family gets the news that someone in the Qi Refining Hall of the Nan family secretly let him go, it's because of "sympathy" for what happened to him... It's not clear that he can't understand Li's actions, and even Want to be hostile to the Li family?And it's still personal.

There was no need for the Li family to shoot or stick, all they had to do was talk to the Nan family for an explanation, and the Nan family had no choice but to send Hu Fangtao over to let him deal with him.In addition, he already "knows" the Li family's family ugliness.

And Hu Fangtao... didn't even see the first layer.How dare you find fault with others like this?

Should we praise him for being a fool with few troubles?

Although Nan Botu's status in the Nan family is awkward, he is very scheming, good at figuring out people's hearts, and leveraging his strengths.Li Haibo secretly warned himself that he must not easily offend the person in front of him.

"The Qi Refining Hall did not take part in the matter of saving lives, and dare not take credit for it. I just hope that Mr. Li and Mr. Lin will not hold grudges for what we have done for our duties."

Qin Bai didn't know which floor he saw, but he obviously knew that there were some advantages that he couldn't take advantage of.Not to mention that Nan Botu had offended Lin Tianyu under Nan Guozhong's instruction, even their pursuit of Li Haibo just now was enough for them to drink a pot.Do you still want someone to "repay your favor"?Are you dreaming?

From the position of Qi Refining Hall, even if Hu Fangtao had many misunderstandings and dissatisfaction with Ling Yao, he should not say such words on this occasion.If it were placed on the other direct descendants of the Nan family, Hu Fangtao would have been severely punished and expelled from the Nan family long ago.

Moreover, dealing with other people according to Ling Yao's current rhetoric will indeed put Hu Fangtao in danger, but it is still just talking.How far it will develop in the end, obviously Ling Yao is waiting for the attitude of the Qi Refining Hall, and Hu Fangtao's own choice.

Qin Bai has now expressed the attitude of the Qi Refining Hall, which is to "show loyalty" and to imply that Hu Fangtao should not be a demon.It's a pity that some people didn't realize this, and instead added fuel to the fire, they agreed:

"Why don't you dare to take credit? Let him go, our Qi Refining Hall has to take a huge risk. If you are worried about what the Li family will do, just let them come to me alone! I will take it all !"

As he said that, Hu Fangtao patted his chest with an awe-inspiring look.

It's a pity that the triumphant smile in the corner of his eyes has already betrayed his true intentions - the Nan family will not really put him in danger alone if he is holding the banner of good for the Nan family; Under the alchemist's subordinate, the alchemist's benefits are naturally enjoyed by him alone.

This abacus can be regarded as crackling.It's a pity that he forgot his status in the Nan family, and also forgot how cold the roots of a wealthy family like the Nan family are.Even if Ling Yao no longer intentionally designs him, the people of the Nan family will weigh the pros and cons and discard such "pawns" at any time.

——For the Nan family, even "Nan Botu" is a role that can be let go at any time, not to mention a mere Hu Fangtao.

After hearing this, Ling Yao laughed instead of anger, and even clapped his hands:

"That's right. I'm worried that the Nan family doesn't have such a righteous man who sacrifices his life and forgets himself. If Mr. Hu is willing to sacrifice himself, it would be great for the Nan family. But this point, we still have to respect Mr. Li's meaning. It's up to you Decide which option is best for you.”

"...I'll see. Of course, no matter what, I won't treat Boss Zhang badly."

Li Haibo practiced Tai Chi and didn't respond directly.Now that he has made up his mind to stay away from people like Ling Yao, if possible, he certainly doesn't want to involve the Nan family in this matter.But Lin Tianyu and the Li family are not easy to fool, and Zhang Zhibo is not the type to keep his mouth shut. If someone becomes suspicious of his words, he will not only be unable to get rid of the Nan family, but may even bring him more trouble.

At this time, if a "character" like Hu Fangtao appeared in the "story" and spread rumors in the black market, and even let the Li family know in advance, and took revenge, the authenticity of the "story" would be greatly improved, and the Nan family would also The possibility of offending Lin Tianyu can be completely avoided.

As for whether this operation will kill Hu Fangtao... that's not his concern.People like him, or everyone living in the black market, don't have so much benevolence and morality in their hearts-the lives of others can never compare with their own interests.

That's all he said, Zhang Zhibo's face turned pale, apparently he was satisfied with Li Haibo's attitude of remembering his own benefits.

And Qin Bai's expression was not very good-looking, but he didn't say anything more.If it was Xia Ming, he might still think of ways to persuade Li Haibo; but Hu Fangtao in the Qi Refining Hall was originally of the kind with few abilities, a very bad temper, a mouth that would cause trouble, and barely complied. There are so many small characters, except for a few wine and meat friends, they don't have any connections in the Nan family.This kind of person wants to "sacrifice his life for righteousness", Qin Bai has no time to stop him.

"Okay. That's it. You make a vow that you won't let this matter involve the Nan family, and try not to involve me and the Nan family in the future. I know that this kind of oath is very weak, and the will Those who are stronger will not be affected, right? It doesn't matter, just go through the process."

Ling Yao shrugged his shoulders, half-assessed, as if he was about to leave,

"Anyway, the Nan family, you don't have the guts to take the initiative to offend me. As for me personally... Anyway, if Lin Tianyu finds me in trouble for no reason, I will treat it as your fault. Even if I can't handle Lin Tianyu one day, I can still handle you more than enough of."

Although it is not a last resort, he will not really pretend to die to mess with the protagonist's younger brother.Not to mention whether the protagonist will intensify his efforts to deal with him, the practice of looking for the boy if he can't beat me is too low.

For Ling Yao, the salted fish is a bit salty, but some dough is still needed.If you want to be a villain, you have to be an "upright" villain, and you have to fight the protagonist himself, and that's the real skill.

Of course, it's okay to say something when you speak harshly, it's just to deter the other party.It's very salty not to do things that can be talked about.

Li Haibo didn't know about the tricks behind Ling Yao's back, but he knew very well the effectiveness of the method Ling Yao said.

This is one of the most effective countermeasures for the weak in the face of group bullying by the strong - retaliation against only one person can effectively split the enemy and force some people to become neutral.This is also the survival method he used in the black market back then.Just being used on yourself... is a bit tricky.

Especially "Nan Botu", although it intends to use this method, but whether it is tone or posture, people can't see where the "weakness" is at all.

If he wants to use this kind of method, it means that Lin Tianyu he is following now is indeed a big man who makes the other party afraid.But in the face of such an "opponent", "Nanbotu" does not seem to have the mentality of "fear" except for vigilance and alertness.what a strange man...

It wasn't until the members of the Nan family were about to leave, and Zhang Zhibo took over the job of taking care of him, that Li Haibo suddenly woke up:

Is the only condition mentioned by "Nanbotu" is confidentiality?

Although this transaction is not considered a "losing business", in Li Haibo's view, the other party should at least offer some more tangible benefits: such as a debt owed to an alchemist, or a loan from Gem Eye's contacts, or a A set of exercises, a piece of priceless jade, and a set of hard-to-find pills.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Can you be more clear about your position? Lin Tianyu is Lin Tianyu, you are not Lin Tianyu. With your level, what benefits can you bring me? Forcing others to do things beyond their ability Transactions outside the scope are easy to overturn, okay?"

Being stared at by others, Ling Yao felt something was wrong, and even rubbed the goosebumps on his arms,

"Besides... that's enough anyway."

He can't easily let the other party go because of his sympathy, because it's not in his own interest; but he will still let go of the water at the right time because of his sympathy for the weak, at least not to embarrass the other party.To this extent, it is not difficult.

"Let's go. The news has been sent out. People from the Li family will come soon, so it's hard to say if we continue to stay here."

Seeing Ling Yao stop in his footsteps, Qin Bai casually reminded him.

"……Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Li Haibo suddenly lowered his head and laughed menacingly,

"Huh...huh...ha...ha. Hey, has anyone ever told you that you are particularly, ha, particularly annoying?"

Even when Lin Tianyu gave him a helping hand at the beginning, his sympathy was mixed with use and calculation.He was very grateful, but he also saw it very clearly, so he was cautious in front of Lin Tianyu, proving that he was still valuable.

Pure, unrequited mercy.what is that?What kind of person is qualified to exercise pure mercy?

Except for outsiders who have nothing to do with themselves, only the absolute strong, who are neither afraid of the other party nor deliberately trying to get something from the other party, can be generous enough to show their sympathy with the absolute heart and without expecting anything in return. .

Zhang Zhibo pulled Li Haibo's collar nervously, signaling him not to provoke Ling Yao at this time.

As for Ling Yao, maybe he understood what he meant, or maybe he didn't.He just raised his eyebrows:

"Not everyone has the opportunity to say this to me. It shows that you are quite ambitious."

……

"Tsk, these people from the Li family are really...I will make them pay. How could my friends be wronged like this. If the police can't control them, then I will use my own means to deal with them!"

Lin Tianyu finished the treatment, took back the scattered true energy into his body, turned his head and said to Li Haibo,

"Don't worry. I've cured your leg, and there won't be any sequelae. You just need to rest for a few more days before you can move around normally. However, the people in the Li family probably think that you are bound to die. You'd better hide it during this time." Replenish yourself, and be with me when the time comes, so that they can be caught off guard!"

Li Haibo raised his leg slightly, and as expected he had regained consciousness, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded:

"thanks, I will."

"How can you say thanks between brothers?"

Lin Tianyu patted his shoulder with a smile,

"You also helped me a lot. I should do this."

Li Haibo pursed his lips, showing a moved expression.But he didn't completely believe Lin Tianyu's words in his heart.

Although Lin Tianyu used him at first, he probably developed a friendship later on.In Lin Tianyu's mind, he may really be a friend, a brother, not a subordinate sent by him.

But Li Haibo didn't dare to bet on whether Lin Tianyu really thought so, and how long he could last thinking so.

He has seen Lin Tianyu's ruthless methods towards the enemy and his indifference to strangers. He has seen those pawns that Lin Tianyu used and discarded at will - although those people have done evil things more or less and want to take advantage of others And anti-being used does not seem to deserve sympathy.

But among these people, there are also people who, just like me back then, are confused, desperate, and eventually go astray.If Lin Tianyu thinks that they are "pawns" that can be used and discarded without disturbing his conscience, then will he, who used to make a living by stealing, one day become "a person who deserves what he deserves" in Lin Tianyu's mind?

This person is too free-spirited and uninhibited, and even the principles and standards of dealing with others can change according to "needs": most of the time it is just, but sometimes it becomes utilitarian; It's not right to punish others for their behavior, but when it's your turn or those around you, there are always many reasons to make it seem that they deserve forgiveness.It seems that everything is just in one thought.

If Li Haibo was just an ordinary person, he might be very willing to be friends with such a person who helps relatives but does not help.It's a pity that he is not. He is a person who crawled out of the mud of the black market. He is unreasonable and has no relatives.

So he would rather be a "white-eyed wolf" who still has reservations and guards against others when he is favored by others; he can't entrust all his trust, wealth and life to the other party, so that he will be framed one day without knowing it.

"Except for the Li family. I heard that people from the Nan family found you in the black market and informed the Li family of your whereabouts? They..."

"They are also responsible, and they didn't catch me later. It's just dealing with the Li family, and there's no need to involve them. It's too dangerous to deal with two big families at once."

Li Haibo shook his head.But Lin Tianyu obviously did not agree with his words:

"Those who collude with each other should be punished together."

"actually……"

Li Haibo seemed to be struggling, but finally made a choice,

"I was able to escape the investigation of the Li family thanks to a person from the Nan family. In fact, I failed to cover up my whereabouts in time. He helped me and persuaded those people from the Nan family to let me go. Report a letter without disclosing my location, which gave me a chance to escape."

Lin Tianyu is not stupid, he already knew that there were some loopholes in Li Haibo's previous rhetoric.But since Li Haibo didn't want to tell the truth, he didn't intend to force the other party to tell the truth, but he was just going to investigate later.And now that Li Haibo is willing to speak out by himself, that would be even better.

"Who is it? He saved you, and I will definitely repay him well."

"It's because he didn't let me tell... He was afraid that you had something to say to the Nan family. Not only did he not thank you, but he held grudges against the Nan family. Moreover, he said that he only sympathized with me for a while, and he didn't want anything in return."

Li Haibo scratched his head in embarrassment,

"Besides, his position in the Nan family seems... a bit embarrassing. I'm afraid that if the Li family finds out, it will lead to retaliation. It seems that some rumors have already spread in the black market. I am also worried about him, so I kept it a secret for a while. "

These reasons are very reasonable.Lin Tianyu's slightly frowned brows stretched out:

"It seems that the Nan family has a bit of conscience in this matter. Your savior is also a good man. Tell me who he is! There has been rumors of the black market, and the Li family will find out sooner or later. He The position in the Nan family is embarrassing, and some people will want to abandon the car to protect the handsome man. If I know his information, I can make preparations in advance and protect him comprehensively!"

Li Haichang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a smile on his face:

"That's great. Actually, I'm worried about him too, but I don't want to trouble you again and again... Actually, he didn't tell me his name. But I heard their conversation and knew that he was—

"Hu Fangtao of Qi Refining Hall."

……

"Hu Fangtao from the Qi Refining Hall? It's fine to deceive them with these gossips, but they can't fool me. The only one present besides Qin Bai and Xia Ming who can persuade the Qi Refining Hall to release people is you."

The person sitting opposite lowered his head and stirred the coffee, talking leisurely.Hearing this, Ling Yao didn't feel the embarrassment of being exposed, he just responded:

"Is that so? But the person involved has let go of his words, so it can't be a lie. It won't do him any good.

"Mr. Li, you are trying every means to ask me out, isn't it just to prove your wild assumptions and speculations that no one believes? I am a doctor, and the doctor's time is cherished. Just for a while , I could have treated at least two or three patients."

And at this time, the person on the opposite side finally raised his head and looked into Ling Yao's eyes:

"Okay. It seems that I really can't guess what you did to Li Haibo. However, compared to the whole plot, he is just a small character. Since you want to use it, I will let you. I will not interfere with him again. thing."

thump.thump.thump.

"Plot? What are you talking about, why can't I understand?"

Ling Yao's heart began to beat rapidly, but he showed a puzzled expression at the right time.

But Li Jiaheng narrowed his eyes, with a hint of indifference in his smile:

"[I hope to communicate with you about the experience of using the system and the development trend of the plot]. Since you decided to come to the appointment after reading this note, why are you acting stupid in front of me?

"Everyone's time is precious, so there is no need to test each other, XR0037."
