Chapter 116 Uninvited Guest
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. After Ling Tian successfully evolved three dragon scales on his right arm through the slightly incomplete energy amethyst, the day for the second negotiation came as scheduled.
It's just that this time, there have been some changes in the negotiation, both in terms of the composition of the participants and the choice of location.
The venue for this time's negotiation was set at a hospitality hotel under the consulate. As for the participants, Lei Zhen's side was dominated by Ling Tian.
Du Xingang and Wan Xinlai from the Military and Political Office did not show up again, but Wan Xinlai's secretary was sent over to control the main directions of interest conditions.
There are still more than two hours before the meeting begins, and Ling Tian's side has already begun nervously preparing for the security work and various preparations for the negotiation.
The meeting place this time was not his own territory, and there were no big figures present to help hold the battle together, so Ling Tian naturally did not dare to be careless at all.
"Zhanzi, when the negotiations start, you and Liu Hong will be responsible for the off-site monitoring, and my fourth brother and I will negotiate at the table." Before the meeting started, Ling Tian, wearing a suit, told Zhang Zhan: "It's still the old rules, anyone can
No weapons are allowed in the meeting room.”
"No problem, don't worry." Zhang Zhan, wearing the same black suit as Ling Tian and holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, agreed.
"Liu Hong, tell the brothers to put on their bulletproof vests. The negotiation location this time is the other party's property, not our own place."
"We've already talked about it once, why are we so nervous?" Liu Hong scratched his head and asked with some confusion.
"I don't know why, but I always feel a little embarrassed. Let's check our own rooms, weapons, and vehicles." Ling Tian whispered, and then clapped his hands towards everyone and shouted loudly: "
Brothers, it’s always right to be careful, and if we don’t overturn this time, it will be a meritorious service!”
"Yes!" Everyone responded after hearing this.
Just as Ling Tian was arranging his preparations in an orderly manner, suddenly.
With a "ding!" sound, the elevator door slowly opened, and the lion, who was also very formally dressed, walked out with his men and horses.
Ling Tian looked at the smiling lion slowly walking in with an expressionless face, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt something was not right in his heart.
"Why are you here?" Ling Tian turned around and asked directly towards the lion.
Ling Tian's attitude could be said to be very unfriendly, but since the two had already broken up with each other, there was no need for Ling Tian to engage in the same pretentious behavior he had when the two met before.
What he is mainly afraid of right now is that the lion will become dizzy and suddenly switch sides during negotiations because of the incident with the prince, and behave irrationally and ruin things.
"Haha, Master and the others didn't come forward for such a big matter. As the senior brother, of course I have to come and help." The lion chuckled, his tone and attitude were very kind, and he didn't have the crazy and irritable temper when he was slapped by Lei Zhen.
"Does master know that you are here?" Ling Tian didn't believe the other party's statement that he wanted to help, so he asked again.
"Haha, Master doesn't know. I was afraid that he was still angry with me, so I didn't call him." The lion said softly, then walked to Ling Tian and whispered: "Junior brother, don't worry,
I’m here today just to help you. You have the final say on any negotiation matters and I will never interfere.”
After saying that, the lion turned around and pointed at the younger brothers he had brought with him: "All my people are at your disposal."
"That's not what I meant. Since you are here, let's work together. Brother Liang will be able to grasp the terms and conditions of the negotiation."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Seeing that the lion's attitude is kind and what he says is human language, Ling Tian can't be too mean-spirited and directly tells the lion that since it's here, let's discuss and do it together.
.
The Brother Liang that Ling Tian spoke of was Wan Xinlai's secretary. His real name was Liu Liang. He was about thirty-five years old. He was a capable young man and was deeply trusted by Wan Xinlai.
"Okay! I'll do whatever you say." The lion reached out and patted Ling Tian's shoulder, and whispered again: "We'll talk about the previous things later. Let's get over today's hurdle first."
"Okay." Ling Tian took a deep look at the lion and nodded in response.
A few minutes later, Ling Tian excused himself to check the status of various security posts, left the crowd, and walked into a bathroom near the stairwell on the third floor.
As soon as he entered the house, Ling Tian immediately locked the door and then checked the single rooms inside one by one. After confirming that no one was there, Ling Tian directly took out his mobile phone and dialed Lei Zhen's number.
"Hello? Xiaotian, how's the situation?"
"Master, everything is normal at present, but now there is a slight situation." Ling Tian said with a frown.
"Situation? What situation?"
"The lion suddenly came with someone." Ling Tian said coldly.
"What? Did the lion bring people to the hotel to cause trouble?" Lei Zhen obviously misunderstood Ling Tian's meaning, thinking that the lion was making trouble again, and his voice immediately raised an octave.
"That's not true. Contrary to what you said, the lion came with a group of people. He said with a smile that he was here to help. He was afraid that I would not be able to do it alone and wanted to raid the formation for me."
"Then why are you calling me?"
"I'm mainly afraid..." Ling Tian said halfway before suddenly falling silent.
"Are you afraid that the lion will play tricks when he comes today and do tricks secretly?" Lei Zhen asked cryptically on the phone.
"Yes!" Ling Tian put his hands on his hips and admitted without hesitation.
For such a big matter, both parties have invested so much manpower and material resources. If the lion is really blind and ruins the big thing, then who will be responsible? Who can be responsible?
So Ling Tian had to call Lei Zhen to inform him of the situation.
"Just do this for now, Xiaotian, keep an eye on the lion. Although that kid is crazy, I don't believe he would do such a thing as rebellion." Lei Zhen pondered for a long time, and finally chose to believe the lion.
It's not that Lei Zhen isn't worried about the lion's evil intentions, it's that he just gave him a loud and loud mouth in public not long ago.
Nowadays, I finally call the other party, but I warn the other party not to make any small moves.
Lei Zhen felt that this was too impersonal. The lion was really overthinking it and was here to help. It would be too hurtful.
Between a master and a disciple, a slap or a scold is nothing, but if there is a crisis in the trust between each other, then it would be a better ending for both of them to walk away, or else they might end up fighting each other with swords.
.
Therefore, after Lei Zhen thought for a moment, he did not call the lion, but chose to comfort Ling Tian with words.
"Then... Okay then." Upon hearing Lei Zhen's words, Ling Tian immediately understood what he meant: "Then let's do this first, I'll go and take care of Master first."
"Okay, report the situation immediately."
"yes!"
After saying that, Ling Tian hung up the phone and walked outside.
······
At the same time, outside the hotel gate, the consulate's special car also stopped. Jiang Zhengmin, wearing a handsome slim suit, walked down with a smile.
