Chapter 168 Surface Of The Water _1
without any hesitation, xia ling picked up her phone and contacted nangong wei.
nangong wei, who had just walked out of the dragon doctor's salvation, received xia ling's call and was a little stunned.
after hesitating for a moment, nangong wei picked up the call. " "what's wrong? director xia, have you thought it through?"
" yes, i do have some thoughts that i'd like to discuss with you. i wonder if you're willing to come back for a chat? "
xia ling asked.
" of course you can. the people of the nangong family have always been unforgiving. " nangong wei said.
" alright, we'll be waiting for you in the office. "
xia ling hung up the phone.
long chen glanced at xia ling's secretary and smiled. " " you can continue with your work. don't tell anyone about this. "
"alright," he said.
the secretary bowed and turned to leave.
" xia ling. " long chen looked at xia ling and said softly, " turn on the recording and record the entire conversation. "
"yes, sure."
xia ling did as she was told.
not long after, nangong wei returned to xia ling's office.
after he sat down, the arrogance between his brows was even thicker than the first time he came.
from his point of view, xia ling had called him back to mend their relationship and resume their collaboration.
hence, nangong wei put on a very high front. " " director xia, first you asked me to leave, and now you're asking me to come back. although i've let bygones be bygones, you don't think that the nangong family can be ordered around as you please, do you? "
"you've misunderstood, old sir." xia ling chuckled. " i just want to have a good chat with you, old sir. if it's not convenient for you, then forget it. "
nangong wei frowned slightly.
" that's not inconvenient, " nangong wei said. " let's talk. "
"let me talk to the old man."
long chen stared at nangong wei.
at this moment, long chen had already secretly used the mind-reading technique.
"alright, ask whatever you want to ask."
nangong wei said calmly.
long chen stared at nangong wei and sighed. " there's nothing much to ask. i just heard that the medicinal pill that our dragon doctor used to help the world was robbed at sea. sigh, i think we probably, perhaps, really need a powerful family to cooperate with us. "
"is that so?"
nangong wei's expression remained unchanged.
but at this moment, he was already thinking about this.
"fools, you will never know that it was our family who took your pills. if you don't agree, we will continue to rob you."
this was what nangong wei was thinking!
long chen, who had gotten the results, was already filled with killing intent.
the nangong family was too despicable and unscrupulous in their actions.
"old sir, i suspect that our pills were stolen by your family."
long chen suddenly said.
nangong wei was stunned for a moment. then, he waved his hand and said, " " we won't do such a thing, but you have to be careful. if you don't cooperate with us as soon as possible, this kind of thing may happen often in the future. "
" old sir, at this point, we don't need to hide anymore. you robbed our pills to tell us that you have the ability to make us sell our pills but not ship them out, right? "
long chen went straight to the point.
he was just trying to lure nangong wei into telling the truth.
nangong wei didn't expect long chen to think so much.
moreover, he was right.
for a moment, he was a little suspicious.
was long chen testing him, or did he really know something?
before nangong could even think about it, long chen said, " " elder nangong, if you're really sincere, we can talk about it openly. of course, we've seen the strength you've displayed. however, i don't think the strength displayed by the nangong family is enough for our cooperation to continue. "
"what do you mean?" nangong wei asked.
long chen said, " what i mean is that hundreds of millions of elixirs have been robbed from us. if these elixirs don't come back, we have reason to suspect that the nangong family has evil intentions. then, the real cooperation will naturally not be able to continue. "
"i understand." nangong wei chuckled. " i didn't expect mr. long to be so wise. you've seen through the essence of things with one look. that's right. your goods were robbed at sea. it was indeed the nangong family's doing. "
of course, our goal isn't those medicinal pills or money. we just want to let dragon doctor ji shi understand that our nangong family has the strength."
"we've already seen your strength." long chen smiled, leaned back, and crossed his legs.
"then, how do you think we should cooperate, mr. long?" nangong wei asked.
" that will depend on the nangong family's sincerity. we'll meet here again at 9 a.m. tomorrow. " long chen said.
" i understand. tomorrow morning, i'll bring the batch of pills and personally send them back. goodbye. "
nangong wei stood up with a smile on his face.
he thought that the cooperation would most likely be completely settled by tomorrow.
this first step could be considered a success.
as long as he took this first step, it would only be a matter of time before he devoured the dragon doctor to help the world.
he didn't know that his thoughts were all under long chen's control.
" take care, old sir. we'll be waiting for you tomorrow to discuss our cooperation in detail. " long chen said with a smile.
"well said, well said. goodbye."
nangong wei cupped his hands and quickly left.
xia ling and long chen looked at each other and saw the coldness in each other's eyes.
the nangong family had made them a little angry.
"i didn't think that it was really the nangong family behind this." xia ling's face was frosty.
" originally, the enemy was in the dark while we were in the light. now, both sides are in the light. with our dragon doctor's ability to help the world, there's no need to fear them. "
long chen said softly.
" but that's a martial arts family, we ... "
xia ling was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly recalled long chen's unfathomable abilities, so she stopped.
perhaps, the nangong family was not a huge threat to long chen.
"ling 'er baby, our first step is to get back those stolen pills without any effort.
the second step is for you to discuss with the people from the city lord's mansion today. tomorrow, when you get the pill, you will arrest nangong wei. he won't be able to escape after being caught red-handed."
li xiu chuckled.
" i knew that was what you were planning, but it's useless to just capture nangong wei. the main culprit is the nangong family. if we capture nangong wei, it might cause a full-blown conflict. "
xia ling said.
" our goal is to bring all the enemies in the dark to the surface. one by one, we'll exterminate them all and make a big scene. let's see who will dare to think that we, the dragon doctor helps the world, are easy to bully in the future. " long chen said.
"how confident are you?" " i think that the nangong family must have already roped in many families and companies. when a large-scale conflict erupts, will we be surrounded? " xia ling asked in a deep voice.
" all of their assets added together are not even one percent of ours. we'll smash these dogs to death with money. " long chen said with a smile.
puchi.
xia ling couldn't help but laugh at long chen's words.
