Veronica sat up silently and said seriously: "Because I need Mr. Lin to do me a favor."

Lin Zhong raised his eyebrows: "What are you busy with?"

"Derek not only informed Su Yunhai, but also told Francis, the first pillar, about the agreement between you and me. I received a call from him this morning, asking me to return to the headquarters immediately."

Veronica's beautiful face was indifferent, and her blue eyes shone with cold light: "I made a miscalculation this time. I didn't expect Derek to be so cunning. He obeyed me on the surface, but secretly colluded with Francis."

Lin Zhong narrowed his eyes and showed an interesting look: "The first pillar?"

"The daily affairs of the zodiac are generally handled by five pillars. I am the second pillar. Francis is above me and serves as the first pillar. Below me are the third pillar Stewart and the fourth pillar Schnee.

Virtue, the fifth pillar Joanna." Veronica explained.

"I see."

Lin Zhong nodded calmly: "So, Francis is stronger than you?"

"He is indeed slightly better than me, but he is definitely no match for Mr. Lin."

Veronica raised her eyes and looked at Lin Zhong: "So, I hope Mr. Lin can go to Rome with me to help me deal with Francis. In return, I can solve the troubles between Su Yunhai and the Zodiac for you.

."

"After what happened, do you think I will still trust you?"

Lin Zhong held up the coffee cup with one hand and slowly stirred the cup with a spoon in the other hand. His tone was indifferent and there was no expression on his face.

"It's not what I wanted to see that things turned out like this, but it was because someone interfered with it."

Veronica said sincerely: "Mr. Lin, please believe that I really want to turn our hostility into friendship with you. If not, I would not come to see you alone."

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. No matter what the reason is, there is no need to continue the agreement between you and me."

Lin Zhong drank the coffee in one gulp and said calmly: "Miss Veronica, please go back. I will deal with the Twelve Palaces and Su Yunhai by myself. You won't have to worry about it. Next time we meet, we will be enemies."

Although Lin Zhong held the cup to see off the guests, Veronica still sat still.

"Mr. Lin, we are on the same front and have the same goals and opponents. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will suffer two harms. Why are you so unkind?"

Veronica leaned forward and stared at Lin Zhong's eyes with her beautiful eyes: "What should I do before you are willing to help me?"

Lin Zhong put down the coffee cup and leaned lazily on the high-back chair: "Miss Veronica, what does the struggle for power within the Zodiac have to do with me? Besides, how can you guarantee that this is not a trap? Rome is

The headquarters of the Zodiac is located here, no matter how stupid I am, I will not be stupid enough to throw myself into a trap."

"Does the matter of the twelfth house really have nothing to do with you?"

Veronica's body relaxed, her arms crossed her chest, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Lin, everyone in the Zodiac besides me hates you so much that even if you don't do it this time,

Help me, they won't let you go, and when they are ready, you and Miss Su Miao will be unable to move in Europe."

"In that case, why don't you cooperate with me? As long as you and I join hands, we will be invincible. As for guarantees, I am the most powerful guarantee here. If Mr. Lin doesn't want to believe me, you can keep me or kill me."

I had to admit that Veronica's eloquence was indeed outstanding. Lin Zhong listened in silence and slowly put away his careless expression.

His mind was spinning, and he kept weighing the pros and cons. After a while, he said: "Do you have a specific plan?"

"Of course."

Seeing Lin Zhong's relaxed attitude, Veronica couldn't help but beam with joy: "Mr. Lin, you can pretend to be a member of the Iron Thorns Legion and follow me into the Zodiac Headquarters. No matter how smart Francis and Su Yunhai are, they will never think of this.

I never imagined that the two of us would join forces."

Lin Zhong tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp "ta-ta-ta" sound.

"I want to think about it." He said solemnly.

"no problem."

Veronica stood up with a smile and stretched out a hand towards Lin Zhong: "Mr. Lin, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Lin Zhong's eyes flashed, and he also extended his right hand and shook it with Veronica.

Veronica's palms were smooth and delicate, as soft as boneless, like fine suet and jade.

When the two of them held their hands together, Veronica suddenly curled her index finger and hooked it in Lin Zhong's palm, which was full of provocation.

Lin Zhong's heart was moved, but his face showed no change, and he took back his right hand without changing his expression.

Veronica chuckled lightly, her eyes moved, and there was an indescribable charm in her eyes: "Mr. Lin, time is tight, please don't think about it for too long, I'm waiting for your good news."

Lin Zhong nodded slightly: "When will you return to Rome?"

Veronica said without thinking: "Tonight at the latest, I must go back early to take control of the overall situation. The longer it takes, the more difficult the situation will be."

"Give me a contact number."

Lin Zhong said calmly: "Once I make a decision, I will call you to tell you."

Veronica opened her lips lightly, reported a series of numbers, and then said with a smile: "This is my private number. Only those closest to me know it. I welcome Mr. Lin to call me at any time."

While Lin Zhong and Veronica were talking, Su Miao stood by the window in the villa, looking at the two people outside, her eyes as bright as water, neither happy nor angry.

"Miss, aren't you going out?" Aunt Meng came behind Su Miao at some point and asked in a low voice.

Su Miao shook her head lightly, her hair trembling like waves: "Even if I don't show up, Lin Zhong can handle it."

"Aren't you curious what they are talking about?"

"Why are you curious?" Su Miao turned to look at Aunt Meng and asked.

"Because that foreign woman was very interested in Brother Lin at first sight, and she even deliberately teased him just now."

Aunt Meng stepped forward and stood side by side with Su Miao. A cold light flashed in her eyes: "If you agree, Miss, I will teach her a lesson."

"No need."

Su Miao said expressionlessly: "Lin Zhong will not be tempted by a woman like that."

"Yeah?"

Aunt Meng looked sideways at Su Miao, her expression half-smiling but not smiling: "Miss, why do I think you are jealous?"

"No."

Su Miao uttered two words clearly, turned around and walked towards the living room.

Aunt Meng caught up with Su Miao, her smile getting thicker: "Really not?"

"If you say no, then there is no."
