Long Sha walked away with a confident expression on his face.
Lin Zhiming stood there, lit a cigarette for himself, then walked to where he parked his car and drove away from the Dragon Clan headquarters.
Night falls.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Zhiming arrived at Juxing Restaurant on time.
At the door of the restaurant, Lin Zhiming met Xu Huai, an old acquaintance.
"Holy King, Mr. Cai asked me to wait for you here." Xu Huai said to Lin Zhiming with a smile.
Lin Zhiming nodded and walked into the restaurant with Xu Huai.
"Holy King, I haven't started interrogating Wang Youyi yet." Xu Huai said as he walked away.
Lin Zhiming said nothing and had no expression on his face.
"As long as the meal tonight is good, Wang Youyi can go back to work tomorrow." Xu Huai continued.
This time, Lin Zhiming spoke.
"When did you follow Cai Hui?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Many years ago, even before I met you, to be precise, when I was just an ordinary member of the Supervision Department, Mr. Cai found me. With Mr. Cai's support, I
I have just reached my current position. By the way, I have a good news to tell you. The higher-ups have already made plans for me to take over the retiring Minister Wang and become the new Minister of Supervision. I would like to thank the higher-ups for my appointment.
Thank you for the great contribution you gave me before, Mr. Sheng Wang." Xu Huai said with a smile.
Lin Zhiming smiled and did not answer Xu Huai's words.
The two walked through the lobby, took the nearby stairs to the second floor, then walked through a small alley, and finally arrived outside a secret private room.
Xu Huai opened the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Cai is already waiting for you inside."
Lin Zhiming walked in with his head held high.
There was a small table in the private room. On the table sat Cai Hui, whom he had just met today. Behind Cai Hui stood Long Sha and Wei Anning.
Apart from these three people, there was no fourth person in the private room.
"Holy King, welcome." Cai Hui sat in his seat and said to Lin Zhiming with a smile.
Lin Zhiming walked to the opposite side of Cai Hui, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"The first meal when Mr. Cai came back, he didn't invite Mr. Chen, Mr. Guo, Mr. Jiang, but he invited me alone. I was really flattered!" Lin Zhiming said.
"In my eyes, you are the only one who counts in the Dragon Clan. Jiang Zhifeng is nothing, Guo Ziyou is half a person, and Chen Hongyu is a little more than half." Cai Hui said.
"I haven't noticed at all that you regard me as the number one person." Lin Zhiming crossed his arms and said jokingly.
"It was just a show. After that show, I think... none of the three of them would believe that there is still a possibility of cooperation between you and me." Cai Hui said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "So...what you did was just to deceive those three people?"
"That's right." Cai Hui nodded, then raised his hand and patted it.
Xu Huai, who had been standing at the door, opened the door with a smile and walked out.
"To show my sincerity, I also found someone to accompany me for dinner tonight."
"A companion?" Lin Zhiming frowned slightly.
At this moment, Xu Huai walked in from outside the door.
Behind Xu Huai, Wang Youyi also walked in with a dull expression.
Judging from Wang Youyi's appearance, as Xu Huai said before, he has not been interrogated and has not suffered much.
"It's just a suspect, why did you invite him here?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I know that Wang Youyi was once your subordinate and was highly regarded by you, so letting him accompany me for this meal is an expression of my sincerity," Cai Hui said.
"You express your sincerity very well." Lin Zhiming said.
"Wang Youyi, sit down." Cai Hui said.
"What qualifications do I, a guilty person, have to sit with you two senior leaders of the Dragon Clan?" Wang Youyi said with a sarcastic expression.
"Sit down, it's rare to have a good meal." Lin Zhiming said.
Wang Youyi frowned slightly, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Xu Huai, let him serve the food." Cai Hui said.
"Okay, Mr. Cai!" Xu Huai nodded and walked out of the private room.
Not long after, delicacies were served one after another.
"The Imperial Capital is better. Whether it's food, drink, or things to enjoy, it's much better than the Exiled Land." Cai Hui said sincerely as he looked at the table full of delicious food.
"I heard that the place of exile is very difficult." Lin Zhiming said.
"Yes." Cai Hui nodded, pointed to his face and said, "I am younger than Guo Ziyou, but if you look at my skin, I am at least ten years older than Guo Ziyou. This...
They are all masterpieces of the place of exile. In that barren land, even a sound sleep is a luxury, let alone the things you enjoy."
"So you hate them very much, right?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"How not to hate?" Cai Hui's face darkened, and a fierce light suddenly burst out in his eyes.
"Back then, I was so high-spirited that the entire martial arts world trembled under my feet. The Dragon Clan was the well-deserved supreme king of the martial arts world. But I never expected that under such circumstances, Chen Hongyu, Guo Ziyou and those people would betray me. They secretly
He collected a lot of evidence against me and handed it over to the top brass behind my back. In the end, the top brass canceled the demon hunt and sent me and many of my subordinates to the place of exile. Although I
It is said that I am the manager of the place of exile, but there, like all the people who were exiled, we lived a life of darkness. This lasted for decades! Those were my best decades! If not
That matter, the Dragon Clan may have already reached the top of the world... Do you think I can stop hating them?" Cai Hui asked, staring at Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming fell silent.
If it were him, he would hate it too.
No matter what Cai Hui's methods and style of doing things are, his starting point is always for the Dragon Clan.
What Chen Hongyu and others told him was that Cai Hui acted cruelly, so in the end they sent Cai Hui to a place of exile.
However, is the reality really what Chen Hongyu and others say?
Lin Zhiming didn't know much about what happened back then, but he knew that Cai Hui had of course relied on demon hunting to become the number one person below the top. Under such circumstances, Cai Hui undoubtedly became the obstacle to Chen Hongyu and Sun Haisheng.
Obstacles in front of others.
If Chen Hongyu wants to become the Five Elders, or even the leader of the Five Elders, he must win over Cai Hui.
Now that Chen Hongyu has become the winner, it can naturally be said that he has eliminated evil for the Dragon Clan, but who can guarantee that Chen Hongyu didn't use everyone's help to eliminate the biggest stumbling block on his way forward that time?
The political struggle within the Dragon Clan can never be explained clearly by one person. Everyone comes from different forces, has different visions, positions, and perspectives on problems. The final right or wrong is just victory.
It’s just right and wrong in the eyes of the reader.
"Everyone said that my demon hunting was stained with too much blood, and that my demon hunting crimes were extremely heinous, but no one mentioned that demon hunting does the dirtiest work in the entire dragon clan and gnaws on the hardest bones. If there is no demon hunting, how can I do it?
In the peaceful martial arts world, if the demon hunter had not eliminated the most powerful enemy for the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan would never be what it is now. Use the simplest idiom to describe it, do you know what it is?" Cai Hui stared at Lin Zhiming and asked
.
"Unload the mill and kill the donkey." Lin Zhiming said.
"That's right!" Cai Hui slapped his hand on the table and said through gritted teeth, "It's just a matter of killing the donkey. The one who said that the demon hunter was going to be established was the senior leader of the Dragon Clan. The one who said that the demon hunter would do the dirtiest work was also the Dragon Clan.
The senior officials of the Dragon Clan, who waited for the demon hunter to finish all the dirty work and canceled the demon hunt, were also the senior officials of the Dragon Clan. They perfectly explained what it means to kill the donkey and kill the donkey, but they never expected that in the Exiled Land
The past few decades have not only not worn away my fighting spirit, but have made me tougher and more determined to come back! For decades, I have been preparing for the day of return, no matter how many
Huai or An Ning, they are all chess pieces laid down a long time ago. Now... I have finally returned to the Dragon Clan, and I have finally taken control of the power. Everyone who betrayed me must pay the price!!"
Lin Zhiming leaned back on his chair and looked at Cai Hui, who was already a little hysterical in front of him, without saying a word.
He could imagine Cai Hui's pain, and he could also understand Cai Hui's injustice.
However, this does not become a reason for him to forgive Cai Hui.
Everyone has their own difficulties and pains. Can you hurt others when you have these difficulties and pains?
After knowing that Wei Anning was Cai Hui's man, and after Xu Huai betrayed Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming had already determined that there was no possibility of cooperation between him and Cai Hui.
However, he still came because he wanted to see what Cai Hui wanted to do.
"So, the so-called Tree of Life is just a cover, right?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"No!" Cai Hui shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I said that the Tree of Life will be solved within half a year, and I will solve the Tree of Life within half a year. Not only the Tree of Life, but also Korola and the Star-Spangled Kingdom.
Fii, any individual or group that prevents the Dragon Clan from becoming the most powerful organization in the world will become my enemy."
"Is this your motive?" Lin Zhiming said in surprise.
"From the beginning to the end, I have been loyal to the Dragon Clan, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for the Dragon Clan throughout my life. Otherwise, do you think a small place of exile can really trap me for decades?" Cai Hui stared at Lin Zhiming and asked.
.
"Then what do you want to do with me?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I want to cooperate with you!" Cai Hui stated his purpose straightforwardly.
"Cooperation?" Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Because you are not them, you did not participate in what happened back then, and you are the most powerful person in the Dragon Clan today. If you can help me drive Chen Hongyu and others out of the Dragon Clan, the future of the Dragon Clan will be under your control.
, Destroying the Tree of Life is just a very simple matter!" Cai Hui said.
