evenly matched

Yuan Xiao frowned, turned off the light lightly, went out, grabbed the butler who hadn't escaped in time, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Mr. Yuan, I don't know." The housekeeper looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, lowered his eyebrows, and planned to say nothing.

Yuan Xiao tilted his head and said "tsk", "Okay, don't you say yes, I'll ask Zhan Yang in person." He opened the door and was about to go in.

"Wait!" The butler called him anxiously, "Let Mr. Zhan take a good rest, I'll tell you."

Yuan Xiao showed a triumphant smile, and he knew that Zhan Yang was the housekeeper's Achilles' heel, and he always treated Zhan Yang as his son.

When they went downstairs, the butler personally arranged the meals one by one, then added a small bowl of rice for himself, sat opposite Yuan Xiao, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhan went out very early, I saw from the window that he brought a lot of rice. People, I guess, he brought his brothers to Xu Hu to ask for an explanation."

The steward's narration was similar to Yuan Xiao's own guess, he absent-mindedly took a bite of his meal, "Will Zhan Yang go there in person every time such a dispute arises?"

"No, the last time Mr. Zhan came forward was because someone died in Aoxing. That was three years ago."

"Oh." Yuan Xiao stopped talking. After dinner, he went upstairs with a heavy heart, hesitated for a while in front of Zhan Yang's door, and opened the door to go in.

He dimmed the brightness of the desk lamp, and he could barely see the layout of the room.He found that Zhan Yang's sleeping position hadn't changed, it was obviously because he was extremely tired that he fell asleep so deeply.

However, no matter how tired he was, Zhan Yang opened his eyes vigilantly when someone approached.

Yuan Xiao stared at him with big eyes and small eyes. After half a minute, Zhan Yang closed his eyes without moving and continued to sleep.

Yuan Xiao consciously climbed onto the bed, supported his head to see Zhan Yang's sleeping face.

"It smells like blood, how many people did you kill?" He asked the sleeping Zhan Yang in a low voice.

His question was of course impossible to answer.

Yuan Xiao stared at Zhan Yang's profile for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel, and carefully wiped off the blood between Zhan Yang's fingers.After doing this, he took off Zhan Yang's dirty clothes with difficulty, and then stuffed him under the quilt.

While doing this, Zhan Yang woke up, still stared at him silently for a while, closed his eyes and fell asleep again, and let him mess around.

Yuan Xiao hurt one hand, and he was sweating profusely after doing this.

"I'm exhausted..." He fell on his back next to Zhan Yang, had enough rest, turned over to face Zhan Yang, "There are always accidents in life, I'm afraid I..."

Zhan Yang's arm interrupted Yuan Xiao's self-talk.

Yuan Xiao stared at the arm draped unscrupulously around his waist, finally chose to keep his mouth shut, and then moved in the direction of Zhan Yang, resting his chin on the broken hair on the other's forehead, and fell asleep.

This sleep was not peaceful, Yuan Xiao had a lot of dreams, the dreams were chaotic, only the mood of panic remained the same.

When I woke up, I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and the seat beside me was already empty.

Yuan Xiao took out a cigarette from the bedside table, took a few puffs, and remembered that he was in Zhan Yang's room, so he consciously opened the window.

After a while, Zhan Yang came out wiping his hair.He probably didn't expect Yuan Xiao to wake up, he didn't have any cover on his body.

Zhan Yang didn't care about being watched by Yuan Xiao, he dried himself generously before walking to the closet, took out his clothes and put them on.

Seeing that he was holding a shirt, Yuan Xiao asked, "Going out?"

"Well, there are still some things to take care of."

Even putting on clothes is a pleasing thing for Zhan Yang, Yuan Xiao walked over and tied his tie with his not-so-flexible hands.

"I want to talk to you." Yuan Xiao's words were not a request, but a statement.

Zhan Yang paused while dressing, and looked at the time, "There is still an hour."

"What were you going to do this hour?"

"Eat." Zhan Yang fended off Yuan Xiao's hand, and buttoned up the button himself.

"We'll talk when you come back."

Zhan Yang took his coat, went to the bed and sat down, "Let's start."

"..." The corner of Yuan Xiao's mouth couldn't help twitching, even if he has the habit of never wasting a minute, don't talk about efficiency like that!

"Why?" Zhan Yang wondered when he saw that he was still moving.

"Although it's a talk, there's no need to be so serious, right?" In such a serious atmosphere, Yuan Xiao suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.

Zhan Yang stared at Yuan Xiao for a while, stood up, and said, "Just tell me if you forget, I won't laugh at you. We'll talk when you remember."

Perhaps due to the influence of the previous "duel", Zhan Yang has a particularly murderous spirit, and his words and deeds have a sharp taste.

This kind of fighting made Yuan Xiao feel very strange, and instinctively felt that something big would happen tonight.

The next morning, Yuan Xiao only found out after watching the news what Zhan Yang did last night!

Just when the news was broadcast, Yuan Xiao's phone rang, and it was Chen Siyan.

"Have you read the news?" Chen Siyan's tone was very serious. No wonder, with so many people dying in one night, certain institutions must have been turned on their backs.

Yuan Xiao stared at the TV, "I'm watching."

"He did it," Chen Siyan used the initial "he" to address Zhan Yang, "you don't know?"

If Yuan Xiao knew, he would find a way to prevent this from happening.Zhan Yang must have expected this, so he chose to do it while he was hospitalized, and deliberately concealed the news.

"I have no news at all."

On the TV, the newscaster reported the vicious incident in pain, and the number of casualties jumped at the bottom of the screen.

Those constantly beating numbers are like a huge hand, strangling Yuan Xiao's neck, slowly tightening...

"Yuan Xiao, tell me the truth, have you been exposed?"

Now, there is no need to hide anything.

"Yes, he suspected me from the very beginning. Before, he saw me leave your office with his own eyes."

After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, the other end of the phone was silent for 2 minutes.

"In any case, you must return to the team immediately!"

"I'm sorry, Chief Chen, I still have things to do." Yuan Xiao hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Siyan to say anything else.

At this moment, his mind was buzzing. Although he knew Zhan Yang's identity, Yuan Xiao never connected the bloody word "killing" with him.

Zhan Yang's elegance and calmness can always give people the illusion that he ignores his true identity, mistakenly thinking that he is the prince of the royal family.

But so many lost lives sounded Yuan Xiao's alarm bell and shattered his erroneous views on Zhan Yang.No matter how perfect he was, he was still a frightened Zhan Yang on the road!

If it wasn't for fighting with Zhan Yang, maybe he could have gotten the news that he was going to slaughter his opponent, and there wouldn't be such a huge casualty...

Yuan Xiao looked back at the scenes of getting along with Zhan Yang little by little, and finally smiled bitterly. It seems that he is actually the most arrogant.

It's time to change the method, he can't afford it!

Yuan Xiao thought so.

Using the injury as an excuse, Yuan Xiao handed over the management of Xicheng and Wuye to Xiangzi, while he himself spent all day in Zhan Yang's company doing some administrative work.

Zhan Yang was busy dealing with the acquisition, and turned a blind eye to his behavior, but forcibly appointed a secretary to Yuan Xiao.

The beautiful Secretary Yin is very capable, and Yuan Xiao is happy to be at leisure, nestling in a leather chair all day long, playing games!

"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Wei invited you for dinner."

Yuan Xiao stared at the screen, skillfully manipulating the people in the game to shuttle through the crowd. Hearing this, he said absent-mindedly: "Ask me? I don't know him well!"

Secretary Yin maintained a decent smile, "The appointment is Zhan Zong and you."

"Damn it! Hang up again!" Yuan Xiao slammed the keyboard hard, and raised his head impatiently, "Then just tell Zhan Yang, I won't go!"

Secretary Yin was used to his moodiness, so he accepted his rude words calmly, and said softly but firmly: "I can't get in touch with Mr. Zhan. Look, is it convenient for me to get in touch?"

Yuan Xiao stood up and sneered, "You can order me around the corner!" Although the words were blunt, he still took the car keys and went downstairs to pick up the car.

As soon as he entered the parking lot, Yuan Xiao was dazzled by the headlights of oncoming cars.

"Brother Xiao!" It was Li Long who hadn't seen him for a few days, "It's just in time, Brother Zhan is looking for you."

Yuan Xiao squinted his eyes, every time he and Zhan Yang disagreed, they would automatically fall into a cold war.Before the matter is settled, Zhan Yang will not take the initiative to talk to him, and of course, he will not take the initiative to compromise.

"Are you done with the acquisition?" That's why Yuan Xiao asked.

"I don't know." Li Long is a qualified driver, he can't ask a question that shouldn't be asked, even if he hears it, he can turn his head and forget it.

Yuan Xiao maintained the posture of opening the car door, but made no further movements.

If the acquisition has not been resolved, he doesn't want to meet with Zhan Yang.As soon as they meet, they will definitely quarrel over the massacre of Xu Hu's faction.

Yuan Xiao doesn't want to have any conflict with Zhan Yang, so not meeting is the best way to avoid it.

But this time, his method didn't work.As the other party of the protagonist, Zhan Yang directly called and urged: "I'll wait for you for 10 minutes, but I don't see anyone by the time, so I'll invite you in person!"

Yuan Xiao dared to ask Zhan Yang to invite someone, opened the door, got in the car, and appeared in front of Zhan Yang on time 10 minutes later.
