But his gaze leveled, and in an instant, he saw a scene he extremely disliked.
The person before him lowered their head, hesitating to speak.
They appeared exceedingly mysterious.
Seeing this, although Zhang Ke found it very displeasing, these past few days were precisely when he and Dong Hua were cooperating harmoniously.
During this period, no matter how big or small the matter, it could not be taken lightly. Otherwise, a slight error could lead to a thousand-mile deviation.
By then, he would have to bear this heavy, black pot.
Consequently, Zhang Ke immediately raised his hand, signaling his secretary.
"Alright, you can go out first. Later," he said, glancing at his watch, "in half an hour, I will proactively find you."
After the secretary tactfully left.
The door was closed tightly again, and Zhang Ke raised his voice, "Is it alright now?"
The assistant quickly approached Zhang Ke.
His voice was low, like a whisper, audible only to Zhang Ke and himself.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ke felt a chill run down his spine.
"What?"
At the same time, this short but quite astonished exclamation involuntarily spread from the depths of his throat to his surroundings.
Before the person in front could continue, Zhang Ke spoke rapidly.
"This kid is looking for me?"
"Could it be that this kid has already found out?"
Zhang Ke's heart felt as if it were being struck by a heavy hammer, constantly shaking up and down.
However, after a brief moment of contemplation, he quickly dismissed this judgment.
For the past few days, he had avoided any public appearances to avoid suspicion.
He had even minimized his interactions with the Lin family, and even Lin Hai.
The reason was his concern that as he grew older, once he started talking, it would be difficult to control his mouth.
At that point, speaking too much could lead to mistakes, which would be unfavorable.
Given this, this kid certainly wouldn't know.
The assistant standing before him could see a hint of Zhang Ke's thoughts from his expression.
He couldn't help but speak a step ahead.
"Director Zhang, perhaps I should go and decline this meeting? Not see this person?"
However, this time, although the assistant's ability to read people was undiminished, his judgment was clearly mistaken.
Zhang Ke waved his hand, "No," after a brief pause, his voice gradually brightened, "You, immediately tell him that I am waiting for him here."
"But this...?"
The assistant before him did not know what Zhang Ke was planning, and his face was filled with difficulty.
But noticing Zhang Ke's repeated insistence, he could not continue to babble.
The reason Zhang Ke acted this way was that at this moment, if no one sought him out, he could completely avoid them.
But if the Lin family proactively sought him out, and he still maintained this attitude.
Wouldn't that be like trying to hide something obvious?
Lu Feng, that kid, is not old, but he is cunningly intelligent. How could he not figure this out? Read books.
In the car, five minutes later.
Lu Feng received feedback from Zhang Ke.
He was told that Zhang Ke was waiting for him at his office.
Hearing the scattered fragments of conversation from the phone, Lin Feng, sitting in the driver's seat, muttered softly.
"See, wasn't I right? This old man did have some skills when he was young, but as he got older, those skills faded. If this guy is really the mastermind, would he agree to meet us?"
Lu Feng heard this, and although he didn't agree, he didn't voice his thoughts.
How things would turn out, he himself was in the car at the moment. Without personally meeting Zhang Ke and having a few words to understand his true inner thoughts, he himself could not make a very precise judgment.
Facts speak louder than words.
He would know when he got there.
Inside the commercial building where Zhang Ke was located.
Upon hearing of Lu Feng and Lin Feng's arrival, Zhang Ke had been prepared for a long time.
Zhang Ke now wore a look of extreme politeness, a politeness that seemed even greater than Qin Qiong's.
Before Lu Feng and Lin Feng could even sit down, he immediately bowed his body, displaying the utmost humility.
"Both of you, ah, both of you, I am truly sorry. You visited so suddenly, and I was unprepared. I am ashamed, truly ashamed."
"It's alright, Director Zhang. We just want to have a chat with you."
Lin Feng saw Zhang Ke's politeness. Although he didn't think this person was particularly formidable in his heart.
However, given his prestige, he couldn't appear completely disrespectful.
Doing so would be too impolite.
Zhang Ke's politeness did not dissipate with Lin Feng's brief words.
On the contrary, the atmosphere surrounding him intensified.
"Please, don't say that. Even if you didn't come here today, in a few days, once I've sorted out my own business, I, this old man, will personally visit to apologize."
What crime has this old man committed?
Lin Feng found it somewhat strange.
Immediately after, Zhang Ke's next sentence resolved the doubts swirling in his mind.
"You two are truly forgetful. Have you forgotten? The matter at Zhouge Mountain Villa last time, I was a notary. At that time, I had an unpleasant encounter with Mr. Lu. Now it seems I am old and decrepit. If it weren't for Mr. Lu's insistence, a major event might have been missed!"
So, this person actually remembered this matter.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Lu Feng would have almost forgotten.
Very well, since the other party had this sentiment, Lu Feng would no longer be polite.
Since you are being polite, then I will take the initiative.
Doesn't this align perfectly with your intentions?
Thinking this, Lu Feng smiled slightly and then said, "What happened in the past is in the past. Besides, that matter cannot be blamed on you. It can only be blamed on the enemy being too cunning. Tang Shengtang's intentions were so malicious, it was impossible to guard against. I believe, Director Zhang, you would never treat the Lin family with such cruelty. After all, no matter how you look at it, you and Director Lin are old friends of many years."
These words, spoken subtly, would normally be insignificant.
But now, Zhang Ke felt uncomfortable all over.
Although these words had no direct relation to him, they seemed to strike at the core of his heart.
Zhang Ke's expression became exceptionally grim, but in front of the two, he still had to force a smile.
"Indeed, indeed. Given my relationship with Director Lin, I would never do something so wicked and betray a friend."
As the person before him spoke these words, Lu Feng's eyes, though not directly fixed on him, were constantly locked onto him from the corner of his vision.
He couldn't have come here for nothing. Since he was here, he had to get something from this person.
Before the person before him could finish speaking, Lu Feng quickly added.
"Since Director Zhang says so, then as a friend, if a friend encounters trouble, shouldn't you lend a helping hand? Moreover, Director Zhang, you just said yourself that you felt guilty towards the Lin family last time, didn't you?"
This!
