With this thought in his mind, Wu Laogou once again looked at the giant mastiff lying next to Yingzi.
Although Wu Laogou's movements were very secretive, his peeks were so frequent that it would be difficult for Chen Ziyan not to notice him even if he wanted to.
When Chen Ziyan noticed this, he immediately realized that this old guy was coveting his own giant mastiff.
His first reaction to this was to be careful.
Chen Ziyan can understand Wu Laogou's happy attitude, but it does not mean that he has the magnanimity of adult beauty.
You must know that the giant mastiff is not only a treasure passed down from the ancestors of Yingzi's family, but also an important part of his future power puzzle. How could he give it up to others?
Almost instantly, Chen Ziyan made up his mind, thinking that he would find an opportunity to remind Yingzi later and ask her to take good care of the giant mastiffs around her, so as not to accidentally get into someone else's way.
He knew the details of Wu Laogou. This man had been nicknamed the "Smiling Buddha" in the industry. He was well-known in the circle as a kind-faced thief with cunning methods.
Although your own existence can guarantee that the other party will not use some extraordinary off-board moves, it does not mean that other methods cannot be used.
If Wu Laogou directly directed and performed a drama about "two lovers being happy", then even Chen Ziyan would not be able to say much. It is even more likely that he does not know anything, after all, how much time can it take to borrow some seeds.
etc!
At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized something was wrong.
He wondered if he had made things too simple?
With Wu Laogou's scheming mind, would he be able to see through his mind so easily?
Chen Ziyan asked himself, and easily came to the answer - no!
It’s not that he belittles himself, but he knows very well how much he weighs. Although he has had the upper hand in two lifetimes, his experience in the world is far behind that of Wu Laogou.
He has the ability to observe people's emotions... but not much.
I can barely be considered a theoretical player, and there are still many shortcomings in practical operation.
But what about Mr. Wu, the dog?
He was a man who had spent his entire life in the world of mortals, and had long since developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger. If he wanted to hide his thoughts, few people in the world would be able to see through it.
Chen Ziyan doesn't think he will be an exception.
Based on this premise, Chen Ziyan believed that things might be different from what he thought.
After reviewing the situation just now in his mind, Chen Ziyan discovered the problem.
First of all, what can be determined is that Wu Laogou is indeed greedy for giant mastiffs, and this is correct.
But what Chen Ziyan was able to detect was not because of his keen senses, but because Wu Laogou did it deliberately.
In short, this is what Wu Laogou told him on his own initiative.
Although the method is very subtle, the results are not much different.
As for Wu Laogou's purpose, Chen Ziyan is still a little unsure, but one thing is certain, that is, Wu Laogou will definitely not do useless work, and there must be his purpose behind it.
However, Chen Ziyan did not have no guesses about this. After thinking over and over again, he felt that this might be Wu Laogou's test of him.
He was testing himself to see if he could resist a deeper binding.
Based on Chen Ziyan's understanding of Wu Laogou, he knew that even if the other party did not see his plans for the future, he would definitely see the importance of these giant mastiffs. Therefore, in order to prevent his thoughts from affecting the relationship between the two parties, he chose to use this subtle
way to convey his thoughts to himself.
If Chen Ziyan is interested in this, he will naturally give positive feedback, and if he does not want to engage in deep binding, he will not be embarrassed by it.
After all, everything is not stated clearly, and there is enough buffer space.
After thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but glance at Wu Laogou and sighed secretly in his heart:
"As expected of an old fox, he is really impeccable in his work!"
If it were him, it would be difficult to come up with such a way of testing, and he might try it through a more understandable conversation.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan decided to stay put for now and see if he could dispel Wu Laogou's idea.
After all, giant mastiffs are no more than other things. They are one of the foundations of Xiling’s future and are a typical item not for sale.
If that doesn't work, it won't be too late to have a showdown with Wu Laogou then.
However, Chen Ziyan did not think that the matter would reach that point. It is easy to see from Wu Laogou's actions that he did not want this matter to affect this cooperation.
As I was thinking about things in my mind, I lost interest in chatting. The underground palace suddenly became much quieter, with only the sound of chewing food echoing.
After finishing the meal, Wu Laogou took his dog to the underground space with his dog after Yingzi said that he did not need his help in cleaning up.
He planned to take advantage of his nephew's remaining power to let the dogs take care of their dog hygiene.
Chen Ziyan did not stop him, and even planned to let Huahu take Yingzi's hound there after Wu Laogou came back.
After all, the Wang family may arrive at any time, so it’s definitely a good idea to prepare for such things in advance.
After Wu Laogou left with the dogs, Chen Ziyan warned Yingzi: "Yingzi, it may be dangerous these days. Remember to keep the giant mastiff with you at all times. It is best not to leave at all."
"Um."
Yingzi nodded obediently, then she looked at the tunnel entrance where Wu Laogou left, and asked Chen Ziyan in a low voice:
"Brother Chen, have you noticed that Fifth Master seems to have been secretly looking at Huzi and the others?"
Although she didn't know as much as Chen Ziyan, and she wasn't as good at observing people's emotions, her vigilance, honed by hunting in the woods for more than ten years, had long since caught Wu Laogou's unusual behavior.
It's just that I kept my doubts in my heart because I didn't have a chance.
After hearing what Yingzi said, Chen Ziyan thought for a moment and planned to tell her the truth.
Originally, she was afraid that Yingzi's acting skills would not be up to par, so she thought of using "danger" to achieve her goal, but now that she has discovered something is wrong, there is no need to hide it.
Anyway, she will definitely behave abnormally, so it is better to tell the whole story, which will make Yingzi more concerned.
After gathering some words, Chen Zi said in a slow voice: "Yingzi, the fifth master has been trying to cultivate better dog breeds over the years. I guess he may have taken a fancy to these giant mastiffs... He doesn't want to use some too dark methods.
I know how to use it, but it is very possible to match it with a species."
This is what Chen Ziyan is most worried about. He is not worried that Wu Laogou will snatch the giant mastiff, because this will do more harm than good to him, but it does not mean that he cannot steal the seeds. This will undoubtedly be much easier and the risk is low.
many.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, he got a completely unexpected reply from Yingzi.
"This is a good thing!"
"Good thing?"
Chen Ziyan looked at Yingzi in confusion, not understanding why she said this.
