King Crazy Game

The meeting between Lin Zicheng and Song Nian was fully arranged by Cao Zhi. The location was chosen in a villa of Cao Zhi. There were many bodyguards arranged inside and outside the house.

"If you are so scared, why did you agree to let me meet Song Nian?" Lin Zicheng looked at the two rows of bodyguards at the door and asked Cao Zhi jokingly.

Cao Zhi led the way and replied coldly: "You think I want to see him come alive again when he hears your name."

"Song Nian is soft-hearted and doesn't take harsh words. You should be gentle to him and ask for his opinion first. Maybe he will live to hear your name one day."

Cao Zhi was stifled by Lin Zicheng's words. Ever since he met Song Nian, he had always stuffed all the good and bad things into Song Nian's hands without ever asking Song Nian whether he wanted it or what he wanted.

"Why did you meet Song Nian? Because of the Li family? What can a freshly graduated college student like him know?"

Cao Zhi slowed down his pace and asked after a moment's silence, "The Li family has been investigated recently. Was it you who did it? You were really quick. But the person behind Li Sinan is probably not a simple person. I heard that the people sent by the higher-ups didn't find anything."

As if he already knew the outcome, Lin Zicheng replied calmly, "I just tend to hold grudges. I didn't take their lives because I am merciful."

Cao Zhi glanced at him suspiciously, thinking of Shen Qingning's recent injury, and said solemnly: "I don't believe it, the investigation is just an appetizer, right?"

Lin Zicheng raised the corners of his thin lips slightly, but did not answer.

Song Nian was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the top floor. When Cao Zhi brought Lin Zicheng over, Song Nian did not stand up and his expression did not change at all. He just raised his eyelids and took a look.

Lin Zicheng smiled politely at Song Nian and sat on the sofa opposite them, with a coffee table about one meter wide between them. Cao Zhi wanted to sit next to Song Nian, but suddenly remembered what Lin Zicheng had said just now, "Ask his opinion first on everything." He paused and subconsciously looked at Lin Zicheng.

Lin Zicheng just smiled at him, as if reminding him.

He definitely said that on purpose!

Cao Zhi sighed softly, and for the first time asked for Song Nian's opinion: "Song Nian, can I... can I stay?"

Song Nian's eyes, which were originally as still as water, were startled at first, but soon regained their composure, staring at Cao Zhi with a faint expression, and after more than ten seconds, he said, "Please leave."

Cao Zhi recalled that when he forcefully entered Song Nian's house, he also said the same thing, please leave. At that time, he completely ignored Song Nian's words, believing that as long as he wanted something, no one could refuse it.

Maybe he will live to hear your name one day...

Cao Zhi clenched his fists and did not force him to stay. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Zicheng and looked at Song Nian with rare tenderness: "Call me if you need anything. I'll be outside the door."

Song Nian did not answer. Lin Zicheng leaned lazily on the sofa and watched the freezing atmosphere between the two.

In the huge living room, neither of them spoke. It was so quiet that you could hear the wind outside the window gently blowing through the grass in the flower bed, making a faint crackling sound.

Song Nian first broke the silence and said calmly: "Mr. Lin is very free today, and he actually has time to meet me."

"That depends on whether there is someone who can give me enough free time. I only like to do things that I am willing to do."

Lin Zicheng's voice was not loud, but gentle, coming out of his mouth, evoked an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Song Nian lowered her head slightly, avoiding his sight.

"When unfamiliar friends meet for the first time, they usually prepare small gifts. I wonder if this gift suits your taste?"

Lin Zicheng took out an exquisite box from his pocket like a magician and placed it on the coffee table.

Song Nian looked at him in disbelief. After a few seconds of silence, he reached out and took the box and opened it carefully.

There were two pieces of exquisite red date cakes and a cigarette that my father often smoked.

Song Nian's tears suddenly fell, and Lin Zicheng immediately handed her a handkerchief like a gentleman.

After a while, Song Nian returned to his usual indifference: "You arranged all this, what do you want from me?"

"Nothing serious, just chatting among friends."

Lin Zicheng leaned against the back of the sofa, his long legs crossed, with a lazy look on his face, as if he was just chatting occasionally with friends.

"Mr. Lin and I shouldn't be friends, right?" Song Nian refused coldly.

"Oh~" Lin Zicheng smiled at the end of the tone, "Friends can be just about you and I, right? How can you say that I am not good enough?"

Song Nian frowned at him. In the minds of ordinary people, people with high positions and power would basically not talk to people at the bottom, let alone make friends. Only people with ulterior motives would beat around the bush to bring up an unfounded relationship.

"If you think I have an agenda, let me tell you my purpose."

Lin Zicheng's frank look made Song Nian frown even more tightly.

"I like beautiful people. Of course, my liking is not to possess them, but to appreciate them. Just like when I see a beautiful flower on the roadside, I will often pass by and stop to appreciate it. I do the same with you."

"You are a strange person..." Song Nian said slowly, "You obviously don't have to care about the three people who died... and you don't have to care about me..."

"It would be a pity if beautiful flowers were trampled and broken. Now that we have come this far, you should have realized that relying on the Cao family alone may not be enough to kill the Li family."

Song Nian was stunned. He had agreed to let Cao Zhi meet his family because he wanted to turn the Cao and Li families against each other. However, everything that happened at the Cao family that day proved that the Cao family would only protect their own safety and would never do anything out of line. The Li family was also smart. A dead son was not enough to sacrifice the entire Li family.

So a third party is needed at this time! Lin Zicheng might be suitable...

"I don't understand what Master Lin said." Song Nian said, pausing uncertainly, "Do you think you can do everything just based on your own preferences? Even if there is no reward?"

"Like I said, I only like to do what I want to do."

"I'm afraid I, a civilian, can't help..." At this point Song Nian suddenly understood Lin Zicheng's purpose of coming here. He was so cunning.

Lin Zicheng realized from the beginning that Song Nian stayed with Cao Zhi only to investigate the Li and Cao families, and now he was looking for him just to get something for nothing.

"Heh! You were talking about friends just now, but now you're just taking advantage of our relationship." Song Nian looked at Lin Zicheng coldly.

"There is no exploitation between friends, only cooperation." Lin Zicheng smiled brightly, "I wonder if there is such an opportunity?"

Song Nian's face darkened and he tacitly agreed.

After separating from Cao Zhi and the others, Lin Zicheng drove to the hospital to help Shen Qingning complete the discharge procedures.

"If I continue to live here, I think I can buy this hospital."

Shen Qingning was wearing expensive clothes as if he was going to an important party. He did not have the slightest sense of vulnerability of a patient who had just recovered. This person with all four limbs intact was leaning against the head of the bed, waiting for Lin Zicheng to pour him some water.

Lin Zicheng, who was always smart, handed him the cup of water as if he didn't see it, with a smile on his face.

"Then Mr. Shen will have to sigh again that he has raised a prodigal son."

"Ah, speaking of the old man, I'll have to go back and get scolded after this trip is over."

"After you're scolded, remember to ask him to transfer the money directly to my card."
