dark crossing

Shen Ting took the time to be late deliberately, but didn't want the other party to come later than him.

As for Chu Huainan's worries about his safety, after Shen heard who was coming, he seemed particularly "unfounded".

"That gentleman" looks about 40 years old, well-maintained, and has a good temperament. When he entered the private room for afternoon tea, he was followed by bodyguards from left to right.

Standing behind this "sir", in addition to two bodyguards wearing black suits and black masks, there was also Liang Shuo who had talked with Shen Ting on the phone before.

Shen Ting raised his eyes to look at the other party, tapped the watch twice with his fingers, frowned and sneered: "You are punctual enough."

At this moment, a full hour has passed since the agreed time to meet.

Liang Shuo was a quick-witted person, and when he saw this, he hurriedly smoothed things over, and politely explained: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Mu's last trip ended later than expected, and I'm sorry to keep Mr. Song waiting."

Shen Ting looked at the visitor from the corner of his eyes, the sneer on his face barely stopped, but his expression was still ugly.

Liang Shuo thoughtfully opened the chair for the unfamiliar "Mr. Mu", and explained the situation with a smile: "This road is indeed a bit blocked, and it took a lot of time."

Shen Ting withdrew his scrutiny, and said coldly: "It's too late, don't waste my time talking so much nonsense, sit down."

Liang Shuo was taken aback. On the phone before, this Xiao Song didn't have such an attitude?

Is this a clue?It shouldn't be.

Liang Shuo still had a cheerful smile on his face, but his heart was pounding.

Shen Ting's attitude was indifferent, that Mr. Mu didn't talk much, and there was a moment of silence at the table, which was basically supported by Liang Shuo, who was pleasing to the left and right.

To a certain extent, Liang Shuo and Lin Huo are very similar people, they smile on the skin all day long, and hide their knives in their smiles.

Shen Ting sat in front of the dining table, absently fiddling with the bland appetizers on the plate, listening to Liang Shuo talking eloquently about the friendship between "Mr. Mu" and Song Shi like a spokesperson.

When the hot dishes were served, Liang Shuo, who had been winding around for a long time, finally got to the point.But just as he opened his mouth to say "about the formula of that thing—" Shen Ting immediately interrupted him.

"Mr. Liang, eat while it's hot." He used his serving chopsticks to pick up a broccoli flower for decoration on a cold plate and put it on Liang Shuo's dinner plate: "You're welcome, eat more." He turned and sat face to face again On the side, Mr. Mu, who looks like a "tool man", also made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Mu too, you can do whatever you want." His eyes fell on the broccoli flower in the center of Liang Shuo's plate, and he pretended to be surprised. Raising eyebrows: "Hey? Is it wrong? Useless decorations should not come out to meet guests. It's okay if you meet someone with bad eyesight like me, but if you meet someone who is not blind, you will be exposed in person. How embarrassing it is, don't you think so, Mr. Mu?"

The man named Mr. Mu glanced at Liang Shuo, and gradually became impatient.

Although Shen Ting spoke politely, the sarcasm and deliberate negligence in his expression and demeanor were obvious. Words like "puncture" made Liang Shuo, who was determined to invigorate the atmosphere, lose face.

"President Song, what do you mean?" His smile came and went faster, his face was serious, and his temperament was so dark that he looked like another person.

Putting down his chopsticks, Shen Ting was even more impolite than him. He lowered his eyes and took a sip of hot tea, and waited until the tea was swallowed and the tip of his tongue obviously felt sweet, before he said slowly: "I want to ask, Mr. Liang broke the appointment with that person What does Mr. Mu mean?"

Liang Shuo didn't speak.

Shen Ting raised his head and looked at him coldly: "My brother is dead, and I am young, so I should be neglected. But since Mr. Mu proposed this meal first, he still has the heart to make Huading trillion yuan If we continue to cooperate with Tianhui, shouldn't we also show some sincerity? For such an important cooperation, if he doesn't come by himself, it is unnecessary to find a counterfeit to sit here and pretend to fool me."

Before he finished speaking, the face of the "Mr. Mu" who was sitting on the main seat trying to fool the truth suddenly changed.Liang Shuo still wanted to argue, but Shen Ting raised his hand, and a series of explanations that came to his mouth were stopped by the young man's forceful movements, and all rolled back into his throat.

Shen heard: "Mr. Liang, you are also older than me, about the same age as my brother. The reason why I call you 'Mr. Liang' is not because I, Song Ci, respect the old and love the young." Because Lin Huo has told me many times that the gentleman of Huading Trillion treats my brother just like my brother treats him, and he has the grace of knowing you. Since you are someone close to that gentleman, I naturally cannot neglect it. "He changed the subject: "It's just that you didn't behave very well today. My brother showed me photos of Mr. Mu when he was young." He glanced at the end of his eyes and couldn't sit still. Mr. Mu", the contempt is self-evident, "Obviously, the Mr. Mu in the photo does not match the one in front of you."

In fact, at the very beginning of Shen Ting, I couldn't be 100% sure, the person who came was just pretending.

Although Mu Mingsheng is highly suspected, there is not enough substantive evidence to prove that he is the head of Huading Trillion.

For a moment, Shen Ting even doubted his own judgment. ——Could it be that all the clues pointing to Mu Mingsheng are just coincidences, that gentleman is really someone else?

But after watching it for ten minutes, the interaction between Liang Shuo and the "Mr. Mu" sitting in the main seat made him realize that that seemingly deep man is absolutely impossible to be the one who controls Huading's trillion yuan. "That gentleman".

On the phone, whenever Liang Shuo talked about that gentleman, he used an extremely admiring tone.But right now, although he treats Mr. Mu very politely and respectfully, but after careful observation, he can find that Mr. Mu, who is very ostentatious, is really too dependent on Liang Shuo.

When talking to Shen Ting, this Mr. Mu always subconsciously turned his head to look at Liang Shuo's face.After a few rounds, Shen Ting became even more suspicious that this was a counterfeit - the other party should be looking at Liang Shuo's eyes.

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating, since the other party wanted to make up for it, Shen Ting unceremoniously made a "fraudulent peace".

His cold "certainty" deceived Liang Shuo.

Liang Shuo, who knew he was in the wrong, immediately changed his face. The biting attitude just disappeared instantly, and he continued to make a mess with a smile: "Mr. Song has a good memory and good eyesight. But please believe me, Mu Mr. Absolutely did not mean to neglect you. It’s just that he has a withdrawn personality. Except for the few staff around him, few people have seen him on the road. Even when your brother is here, I often do the meeting between him and your brother. .So, if there is anything, we talk about the same thing.”

Shen Ting smiled noncommittally: "Understood, there must be a difference between a high-ranking person and a small person like me. These days, there is no such thing as a person who dares to pretend to be a successful person. It's just that this thing is my brother's ten Several years of painstaking efforts are of great importance, so I would like to ask Mr. Mu to come and talk to me in person." He picked up the teacup, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, got up and left the table, "I have other things to do later. Son, I won’t be with you anymore, the bill has already been settled, so take it easy.”

Seeing Liang Shuo get up after him, he politely extended his hand to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you today."

Liang Shuo, who had no choice but to be a donkey on the slope because of his reasons, immediately stretched out his hand and shook it enthusiastically, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I understand Mr. Song's meaning, and I will definitely convey it to Mr. Mu, let's make an appointment another day."

Mu Mingsheng really likes the feeling of controlling everything behind the scenes. He never likes to show unnecessary publicity. Therefore, few people in the outside world know that he is the real helm behind the Huading Trillion.

Even after the investigation, he learned that the similarity between Song Ci and Shen Ting was just accidental, but he, who believes in "steering with care", still wants to avoid suspicion.But he didn't expect Song Ci to have seen his photo, and even exposed his identity as a counterfeit on the spot. This is really an unexpected episode.

After listening to Liang Shuo's report, Mu Mingsheng didn't hesitate for too long.In fact, the reality does not allow him to hesitate for too long.The colleague who kidnapped Li Shichuan suddenly stopped replying to his emails. He regarded this as a signal that the other party's patience was about to run out, so he became more anxious and naturally wanted to get the zombie formula as soon as possible.

The second meeting invitation came faster than expected.

Liang Shuo had heard rumors about Song Ci's eccentric personality, especially self-centeredness.

And the last time we met, Mu Mingsheng himself didn't attend the appointment, which refuted Song Ci's face. Liang Shuo guessed that Song Ci, who was rumored to be very tempered, would deliberately make trouble for Joe.

For this reason, he also specially prepared some speeches in advance.Unexpectedly, during the phone call, just as soon as he mentioned that he wanted to make an appointment for a second meeting, the other party immediately asked the time and place, and agreed without saying a word.

At the end of the call, the straightforward Song Ci made a request that Liang Shuo could hardly refuse: "I want to bring someone with me that day, Mr. Mu doesn't mind."

Liang Shuo said: "Mr. Mu doesn't mind, but what we're talking about is precious, and it's always inappropriate for outsiders to know about it."

"He is not an outsider, he has known about the formula for a long time."

Liang Shuo immediately turned his head to look at Mu Mingsheng who was listening all the time, and after getting approval, he pretended to hesitate and said: "But Mr. Song should know the rules of Taoism. If you want to see Mr. Mu, you must be absolutely clean."

Shen Ting smiled, whistled frivolously on the phone, and said ambiguously: "Don't worry, I checked it myself, he is much cleaner than me."

Although Song Ci didn't make it clear, Mu Mingsheng had already guessed who the "not an outsider" would be.

——Song Shi and Lin Huo are both dead, and people in Tianhui are scattered, but people from all walks of life on the road are still willing to give a little face to Song Ci, who has not even grown up.In front of them, they would still respectfully call Mr. Song, what is it for?It's not about the ancestor surnamed Chu behind him.

Liang Shuo put down the phone, looked at Mu Mingsheng's face, and scolded Song Ci: "A Dou, who can't be supported by mud, will do his best. If it wasn't for the sake of the formula, how could Mr. Mu let him go? "

But Mu Mingsheng didn't underestimate the enemy, he put out the cigarette in his hand expressionlessly, and said: "The premise for a fox to pretend to be a tiger is that there must be a tiger who is willing. Don't underestimate him, Chu Huainan is not an ordinary person, he can make Chu Huainan willing Supporting him at all times has some skills."
