His Majesty is Scheming - C228
In a luxuriously decorated living room, Brother Liu was lazily lying on the sofa and sipping a glass of wine. The sound of his crisp high heels was getting closer and closer, and he shamelessly stopped at the door of the living room, replacing it with a light knock on the door.
“Good morning, Liu-ge.” Liang Jia smiled as she sat in front of him, considerately pouring wine for him.
“Good morning, Miss Liang. Why aren’t you accompanying your beloved today?” Liu-ge gently rotated the goblet in his hand. The amber liquid in the goblet rotated, releasing a dazzling golden light, alluring and beautiful.
Seeing him hesitate, Liang Jia said, “Brother Liu, let Long Zhenghao go …”
“Sigh …” Without waiting for her to finish, Brother Liu reached out his hand to interrupt her. He said gently yet without losing any seriousness: “Didn’t we agree? No one is allowed to plead, no matter what relationship we have.”
“Brother Liu, Long Zhenghao didn’t hide the poison, so it’s useless even if you capture him.” Liang Jia, on the other hand, was calm. She was still able to smile.
But Liu-ge only smiled cruelly and said: “The thing was lost from his hands, so he has to bear all the responsibility.” His hand gripped the cup tightly, his knuckles white from the strain. He raised his head and drank the liquid in the cup to its fullest.
“Brother Liu, of course I know this. I wouldn’t be so reckless to run over and ask you for a person.” “Don’t worry, I’ve found all the things you need.” Liang Jia took out a hard drive from her bag and waved it in her hand.
With a ‘bang’, Brother Liu slammed the cup on the table. He sat up straight and looked at her in surprise, “What did you say? Have you found the antidote? Long Zhenghao is finally willing to hand it over? ”
His excitement was undisguised in his face, unlike his usual behavior, and one could imagine how much he wanted it. Liang Jia secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still maintained a calm expression on her face.
“That’s right, I’ve found it, but I didn’t find it on Long Zhenghao’s body.” “So you’d better take the things and quietly let them go. Don’t tell him I gave them to you.”
“Then I’ll have to make sure it’s real.” Liu-ge, on the other hand, wasn’t the slightest bit sloppy. He chuckled and asked: “We couldn’t find anything after half a year of searching. Since Miss Liang found it, that’s impossible, it doesn’t make sense.”
“As long as it’s real, you don’t have to worry about where I found it. Just do as I say.”
She had taken the item from the owner of the mobile phone. A few days ago, she had been keeping an eye on Ling Mengzhu’s movements and did not expect to discover this secret, so she took the item away first and arranged for the owner to leave.
She didn’t want Long Zhenghao to know that it was Ling Dreamy Pearl that had been searching for the detoxification poison all this time, and she almost found it. If she wanted to obtain Ling Dreamy Pearl, she couldn’t think of any other way besides this.
“That’s true. I just need to get the things I want. I’m not interested in Long Zhenghao’s things.” “Especially men that we, Miss Liang, have set our eyes on. No matter what, I, Liu-ge, can’t do anything to them, right?” Liu-ge poured himself a second glass of wine and flattered with a smile.
Liang Jia had no interest in listening to his hypocritical words. She handed the item over to him. Brother Liu took it and began to examine it in his notebook. After the test, she closed the book and smiled, “The item is real. I wonder how many more copies Miss Liang has made.”
If it was passed down to too many people, the value of the item would be greatly reduced. Moreover, it would easily attract the attention of the police, so he didn’t want to take the risk. After all, it was against the law.
If he wanted this, then so did Liang Jia. Therefore, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to leave this thing behind.
Brother Liu is treacherous, as expected of a scoundrel. She thought to herself, and then smiled at him: “Brother Liu, you have rules, do you think I’m someone with no rules? Besides, Liu-ge has so many people, I’m not afraid of you catching Long Zhenghao back? If I believe that you will release him on time, don’t you believe me? ”
“That’s true. I can trust Miss Liang’s character. Alright, I, Brother Liu, am not an unreasonable person. Release her immediately.”
“Thank you, Liu-ge!” Liang Jia smiled excitedly. The big rock that had been hanging in her heart finally fell off.
Liang Jia came out of Brother Liu’s living room and headed towards the main house in the front yard. When she got to the second floor, Long Zhenghao was lying down on the couch, resting with his eyes closed. Ye Zichen frowned. It was so quiet and peaceful that it seemed like he had already fallen asleep.
Liang Jia couldn’t help but take light steps forward and gently squat in front of him, quietly watching him.
Staring at his calm and handsome face, Liang Jia’s heart started to beat wildly in shame. This man was too beautiful, so beautiful that he had a charm that could captivate one’s soul. She was afraid that if she did not move away now, she would lose control of herself, but she did not want to move away.
She couldn’t help but stretch out her trembling fingers towards that handsome face, almost touching his eyebrows. A sudden voice scared her out of her wits. It was Long Zhenghao calling his name.
Long Zhenghao then opened his eyes and looked at her calmly, “Miss Liang, what are you doing?”
“I …” Liang Jia was at a loss for words. She immediately broke into a smile and said, “I’m here to take you out. Brother Liu has already promised not to make things difficult for you anymore. Zhenghao, you can finally go home. You’re finally free.”
Long Zhenghao looked at her with an expression of distrust. He lightly shook his head and said, “Brother Liu would not let me go so easily, and he has never bought anything from anyone. Miss Liang, do you know him well enough?”
He didn’t believe that Liang Jia would have the ability to convince Liu-ge. He was worried that things wouldn’t be as simple as they seemed. Therefore, he continued to lie on the chair and did not move, nor did he have the relaxed expression on his face that he would be able to leave this place.
Liang Jia was still smiling, she grabbed his hand and tried to pull him up, “Brother Liu said you can leave, so you can leave, don’t doubt me, Zhenghao. My father and Brother Liu are already old friends, he won’t even give me this face. “Alright, let’s hurry up and go.”
Long Zhenghao was dragged off his chair and looked at her as he asked again, “Are you telling the truth?”
“Yes, yes, yes… Why would I lie to you?” Zhenghao, I spent a lot of saliva to convince Liu-ge. If you don’t leave, when he goes back on his word, you won’t be able to leave. ” Liang Jia pulled him towards the door.
Long Zhenghao pulled her hand away, and Liang Jia turned around. She looked at his calm expression and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Long Zhenghao shook his head and looked at her, “Thank you, but I can go back myself. There’s no need to trouble you to accompany me.”
With that, he quickly walked towards the main entrance. Liang Jia stood behind him, watching his back as he shamelessly disappeared into the spiral staircase. She felt her heart ache. She thought that she could repay his kindness a thousand times, but she didn’t even get a smile. Was she asking for too much? Or was that heartless man too cold? Even when Long Zhenghao’s figure disappeared at the gate, she was still struggling with this question.
As soon as Long Zhenghao walked out of the mansion, he took out his phone and dialed Ling Meng Zhu’s number. The call was connected, but unfortunately no one answered after five or six rings, and it was the same when he called again.
He couldn’t help but feel anxious, and then he switched to another phone to call Rian. The news he received was that Ling Mengzhu had already resigned. He hadn’t been working at Rian since yesterday, so he was even more anxious now.
After hesitating at the intersection for half a minute, he finally chose to go home immediately. He felt that he should explain his work to her earlier, so he could not keep it a secret any longer. Actually, there was nothing to hide from her. She was his wife!
When Long Zhenghao was rushing home, he stood at the door and took a deep breath. He made some mental preparations before opening the door and walking in. There was almost no change in the room, it was still as clean and tidy as it had been when he left.
But when he came back, Mrs. Ling would always come out and ask him if he wanted something to eat. Ling Mengzhu would occasionally cast him a disdainful glance, either arguing with him or picking a quarrel with him. In short, she was never willing to speak with him properly. Even so, he was still very happy. To him, being able to see her was already a happy thing.
However, the room was quiet today. Madam Ling was not there, and Ling Mengzhu was not there either. I looked up at the clock on the wall. It was ten o’clock in the morning, and maybe they were all out.
Although he was comforting himself in his heart, his feet still couldn’t help but walk towards Ling Mengzhu’s bedroom. The room didn’t seem to have any changes, but it was a little too neat to be normal. A closer look revealed that the skincare products that had been placed on the table had been removed and the shoes in the shoe closet had disappeared.
Long Zhenghao’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran to the wardrobe, opened the doors and was stunned. Empty. As he had expected, she was gone. She really had left the room.
“Ling Meng Pearl … you’re really willing!” With a bang, he slammed the double doors shut. He sat down on the edge of the bed and began to pull out the number again and again, but the other party refused. He was so angry that he could only send a message, “Ling Mengzhu, I’ll give you a day to hurry back. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences!”
This was a very domineering message, and was his usual style of speaking and doing things, but he knew that it was completely useless. Ling Mengzhan had never been afraid of him, nor did she place any importance on his dominance, so she definitely wouldn’t be able to return to his side within a day.
The phone slipped from his palm and his muscular body fell weakly onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He had never thought that Ling Meng Zhu would leave him. He had thought that he would be fine after he explained everything to her. It seemed that he still did not understand her well enough. That stubborn and headache-inducing woman!
