"Master, Qian Zhu has agreed to your dinner invitation." Dong Jian called Lin Zhiming.
"Really? It seems that he also wants to challenge my bottom line." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Where do you plan to have this meal?" Dong Jian asked.
"Since we are eating, we naturally need to find a place with fewer people. Please arrange a place." Lin Zhiming said.
"I understand!" Dong Jian said.
The next evening.
Lin Zhiming drove away from his residence alone and went to the restaurant arranged by Dong Jian.
It's said to be a restaurant, but it's actually more like a private club.
This kind of club is the most common in the imperial capital. It is extremely private and of high quality. A meal worth three to five million yuan is considered normal consumption.
Lin Zhiming had been to this restaurant once, parked his car and walked into the restaurant with a familiarity.
There was already a dedicated butler waiting for Lin Zhiming at the door. Seeing Lin Zhiming appear, the butler led Lin Zhiming into the private room with a humble smile.
The private room is large, and the decoration inside is not luxurious, but it can definitely be called elegant.
Not only are there seats made of huanghuali, there are also authentic Chinese paintings by Zhang Xiaoqian.
The private room was lit with special spices, which were said to contain ambergris, which would have a refreshing effect on people.
There is only one small window in the private room, just behind the main table. Outside the window is a small courtyard with a small bridge, flowing water, and a canary raised by the owner.
After Lin Zhiming took his seat, he received a text message from Zhao Jianlin.
The content of the text message is very simple, just three words.
"Don't be impulsive."
Lin Zhiming smiled and put the phone away.
At this time, several musicians came in.
These musicians held exquisite Dragon Kingdom classical instruments in their hands, and each of them was an extremely beautiful young woman.
After a few people nodded and greeted Lin Zhiming, they sat down in the corner and started playing.
The repertoire played is also some of the most classical repertoire from the Dragon Kingdom. The music is elegant and the lingering sound lingers.
After the song ended, the door of the box was pushed open.
First, two strong men walked in from outside the door. After making sure there was nothing unusual in the room, a young man walked in.
This man was young and handsome. He walked to the table, set up the chairs, and put a mat made of unknown hair that he brought on top. At the same time, he also changed the tableware that belonged to Qian Zhu on the table.
.
The original white porcelain tableware has all been replaced by silver tableware.
After doing this, the young man walked to the door and shouted, "Master, please."
After shouting these words, Qian Zhu's figure appeared outside the door.
"What's the point of all this?" Lin Zhiming couldn't help but ask.
"To make so much money, you have to find a way to make some, otherwise what are you going to do?" Qian Zhu said with a smile as he walked inside.
"I can't learn from your level." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
Qian Zhu was not happy just because Lin Zhiming praised him. His eyes were fixed on Lin Zhiming. Whenever Lin Zhiming made any trouble, he would immediately hide away.
However, Lin Zhiming did not move. He just sat there with a prickly look and an indifferent look, which was in sharp contrast to Qian Zhu's caution and refinement.
When he came to the table, Qian Zhu glanced at the person playing music next to him, frowned and said, "Everyone, go out, what kind of performance is so ugly."
"This is Chinese music, but since you don't like it, let them go out." Lin Zhiming waved to the musicians.
All the musicians walked out of the private room.
Qian Zhu sat on the chair.
"What kind of animal fur is that?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"The furball beast on the battlefield outside the territory." Qian Zhu said.
"The fur ball beast? That is considered a rarity in battlefields outside the territory. This mat can be replaced by a courtyard in the second ring of the imperial capital, right?" Lin Zhiming asked.
Qian Zhu smiled and said, "I got it in exchange for the courtyard house."
"Awesome." Lin Zhiming said.
"Have you ordered?" Qian Zhu asked.
"I ordered. I ordered some lighter dishes. I was thinking that since you are old, your teeth and stomach may not be in good condition. It would be better to eat something lighter." Lin Zhiming said.
"It's true." Qian Zhu nodded.
Just then, the young man from before came over with a wet wipe.
He held the wet wipes in both hands and handed them to Qian Zhu.
Qian Zhu wiped his hands with a wet wipe, then looked at Lin Zhiming and asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in inviting me to dinner?"
"I have been thinking about being the head of the Lin family for a long time, and I have never had a meal alone with the elders of Qingmu Hall. I thought there would always be time, but one after another died, so I was worried that if I kept waiting, you guys
The remaining three people are all dead, so if I want to eat with you again, I won't be able to eat with you," Lin Zhiming said.
Hearing this, Qian Zhu's eyes trembled slightly. He moved his butt slightly to make himself sit more comfortably. At the same time, he tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and prevent it from showing on his face.
"We are old after all." Qian Zhu said.
"Yes!" Lin Zhiming nodded, looked at the people behind Qian Zhu and said, "It is easy to die when you are old, and you are afraid of death, so you only go out to have a meal and take so many people with you."
"I'm not a superman like you." Qian Zhu said.
"Superman? That's not true. I'm just a little better than ordinary people." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"If you are not called Superman, then no one in this world can be called Superman. I have to say that you are the most powerful head of the Lin family in the past hundreds of years." Qian Zhu said.
"Yes, it was you who met me because of me." Lin Zhiming said.
"Actually, we can live in peace, as long as you are willing." Qian Zhu said.
"Live peacefully? Of course you can, as long as you hand over the management rights of the Lin family's property." Lin Zhiming said.
"This is a rule set by the head of the Lin family." Qian Zhu said.
"But I am the current head of the Lin family." Lin Zhiming tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Qian Zhu and said arrogantly, "A person from hundreds of years ago still wants to control me?"
"Violating the ancestral precepts and forgetting the ancestral scriptures will be punished by God," Qian Zhu said.
"God's punishment? It would be great if there really is a God's punishment. I would like to see what God's punishment is like. If there is a God's punishment, how come the elders of Qingmudang who have been oppressing and humiliating the Lin clan for hundreds of years have not been punished by God?
?" Lin Zhiming asked doubtfully.
"As long as you don't take back the management rights, we can even give you all the dividends from the Lin family's properties. After all, the Lin family's properties are just part of our property," Qian Zhu said.
"Do you really think I just want that little thing?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Otherwise?" Qian Zhu asked with a frown.
"I want you to spit out everything you have gained from the Lin family over the years, and everything derived from it!" Lin Zhiming said.
Qian Zhu's pupils shrank suddenly.
He didn't expect that Lin Zhiming had such terrible ambitions.
Under such ambition, there is no possibility of reconciliation between them and Lin Zhiming.
"Are you scared?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I have lived for so many years, why have I never seen big winds and waves that scare you?" Qian Zhu said disdainfully, and then moved his butt slightly.
This is worth a set of courtyard chair cushions. Why does it seem a bit scratchy now?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Have a good meal. You are the first one, and there will be others later. They have to come one by one, right? Otherwise, if there are more people, you people will bully me.
Anything less would be bad," Lin Zhiming said.
"No matter how many people there are, they can't bully a Dragon King like you." Qian Zhu said.
Lin Zhiming smiled and suddenly raised his hand.
Qian Zhu's conditioned reflex usually leans his body back.
"Waiter, it's time to serve." Lin Zhiming called to the waiter standing by the door, then looked at Qian Zhu and asked in surprise, "Mr. Qian, what are you doing?"
"This... waist bone is not good, let's do some exercise." Qian Zhu said.
"You...don't really think I will take action against you, right?" Lin Zhiming asked with a half-smile.
"There are rumors in the outside world that I killed the blind man. You took the blind man's inheritance, which is enough to prove that you and the blind man are in the same group. It is natural for you to take action against me to avenge the blind man, right?" Qian Zhu said.
"Then...did you kill the blind man?" Lin Zhiming leaned forward slightly and stared at Qian Zhu and asked.
According to the plan, Qian Zhu should take the initiative to admit to Lin Zhiming that the blind man was killed by himself, which would arouse Lin Zhiming's murderous intention.
However, when Qian Zhu saw Lin Zhiming's current expression, he suddenly did not dare to say anything.
At this time, Lin Zhiming, although there was no anger on his face, was extremely focused.
It was as if he was listening to instructions.
But Qian Zhu knew that the more focused Lin Zhiming was, the more likely he would suddenly become violent because of his words, because at this time Lin Zhiming might have already thought of what he wanted to do, and all he needed was a start.
It's just a button.
"Gu!" Qian Zhu swallowed, and while preparing to escape at any time, he tried his best to show an arrogant expression.
"I was the one who killed him. How about it? Are you angry?" Qian Zhu asked.
"Really?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
Qian Zhu licked his lips, pulled his body back as hard as he could, and then said, "Really."
Lin Zhiming frowned and looked at Qian Zhu.
An invisible pressure enveloped Qian Zhu.
After all, Qian Zhu was also a superior, but at this time he clearly felt the pressure of a superior.
Lin Zhiming now seemed to be a higher-level being above him. He just looked at him and frowned, which made Qian Zhu almost have diarrhea.
When did he become so scary?!
Qian Zhu couldn't believe his feelings, and even began to regret that he had agreed to Lin Zhiming's dinner invitation.
A few seconds later, Lin Zhiming suddenly sat up straight.
"Okay, just kill it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to take back the Titan creature so quickly." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
Qian Zhu was stunned.
He originally thought that even if Lin Zhiming didn't attack him violently, he would be furious. Unexpectedly, he actually laughed and said such words.
Is this the calm before the storm, or does Lin Zhiming really not care about the blind man's life or death?
