No matter what he did, or if he was drunk, or what the final result was, it was all very dangerous for him. After all, even if they ultimately exterminated all the people from those powers on the coast, they were only a part of those powers.
Because of that, Meng Fan didn't want to go overboard. After all, if he couldn't completely exterminate his opponent, Meng Fan didn't want to cause him any trouble. After all, the only person who would suffer the most would be himself.
To deal with those powers was indeed a great achievement for old man Hu. However, if they couldn't, and things were ruined in the end, then they would not lose anything. Even if Chengying was taken away, it would only be Meng Fan's shadow being taken away, and would not cause any actual loss to them.
To Meng Fan, however, this was a bit different. In fact, it gave him the feeling that he had been tricked by the old man named Hu.
After all, old man Hu's words contradicted his previous promise. Meng Fan had no way to refute his words, but the result wasn't what Meng Fan and the others had hoped for.
"How is it?! You'd better think about it! I'll give you time. How about an hour? After all, you should know that the auction is starting tomorrow, and there is not much time left.
Old Man Hu, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed the abnormality in Meng Fan's heart. Before Meng Fan could reply, he heard Old Man Hu asking him a question.
Instead, he glared hatefully at old man Hu as if he wished he could eat him alive. Although old man Hu did not express anything, after seeing Meng Fan's actions, Meng Fan's eyes also glared back at him, as if he was very dissatisfied with Meng Fan's current attitude.
"Good!" I must think about this carefully! " Meng Fan wasn't in a rush to answer old man Hu, but instead agreed to take advantage of the situation. Although this so-called one hour wasn't very useful for Meng Fan, it was still a buffer against him.
He didn't seem to think that Meng Fan would actually do such a thing, but he was the one who first brought up the idea. Since Meng Fan wanted to take advantage of the situation, it wasn't good for him to retort, so he nodded and continued, "Then you think about it! I was just about to go out and take a look, so I'll be waiting for your answer! "
Without waiting for Meng Fan to reply, he got up and walked out of the room. Since coming here, he had been following behind old man Hu as they walked out of the cubicle.
However, before he left, he glared at Meng Fan, as if he was very dissatisfied with Meng Fan's indecisive state.
However, he was not in the mood to compete with Shadow, nor did he care about the look in the other's eyes. It was only when Old Man Hu and Shadow left that Meng Fan, Liu Xia, and Zhou Qing were the only ones left in the room.
"Meng Fan!" What do you think? " After Old Man Hu and Shadow left, Liu Xia looked at Meng Fan and was the first to speak.
Meng Fan couldn't wait to act against old man Hu for breaking his promise. However, even Meng Fan didn't dare to do such a thing with old man Hu's status; if he did, he would be able to escape, but he would also become a wanted criminal in the country, and would be hunted down by the other powers.
"What can we do!?" You must hand it over! Otherwise, we will not be human on the inside. Not only will we offend the dark, we will even isolate ourselves and let those powers directly deal with us. No matter what, it will not benefit us! " However, that was only Meng Fan's thought for a moment. Now, facing Liu Xia's inquiry, he hesitated for a moment before sighing and explaining.
After all, handing Cheng Ying over as bait was already a foregone conclusion. With Meng Fan's strength, he would immediately be killed. Even if Meng Fan managed to escape, he wouldn't be able to guarantee the safety of the others.
Furthermore, doing so would not be beneficial for Meng Fan and the others. Having lost the support they had in the country, and having even offended him, Meng Fan would not be able to have a foothold in the country.
Even Meng Fan did not have the confidence to survive if he fled the country in this way. Based on these considerations, if Meng Fan did not hand over Shadow to someone with the surname Hu, and had a falling out with him, then that would be the end result of his own death.
"Then we'll let them do as they please?" However, after hearing Meng Fan's words, Liu Xia was so angry that his face turned bright red. He suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.
"Alright!" I don't understand you guys, but I know that we can't afford to offend these people. I never thought that although Ying was on good terms with me and Sister Liu, he would still be an outsider in such a situation! " Facing Liu Xia's anger, Zhou Qing, who had been silently watching this entire time, did not wait for Meng Fan to speak and instead sighed as she advised Liu Xia.
However, the first half of Zhou Qing's sentence was to Liu Xia, but the second half seemed to be sighing something. Even though Meng Fan saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Qing to have so many thoughts.
"Zhou Qing is right!" Now we can only do as they say! " Although Meng Fan was surprised at why Zhou Qing had so many thoughts, he did not have any objections to Zhou Qing's words. After Zhou Qing said that, Meng Fan stood up and walked to Liu Xia's side. He patted Liu Xia's shoulder a few times before placing him down on a chair.
"Alright! Why don't you just agree to what we are going to discuss? Do you really need to agree to what we are going to discuss? " Although Liu Xia's mood had calmed down a lot after being pressed onto the chair by Meng Fan, he seemed to have been provoked by Zhou Qing and Meng Fan singing the same tune. He muttered in displeasure.
After all, based on Liu Xia's personality from before, he had always been a very calm person. However, for some reason, ever since coming to this room and hearing the words of Old Man Hu and Shadow, he seemed to have been ignited, and his temper had become much more violent.
"The current situation is like a trap set up for us. No matter what we do, it doesn't matter to them. However, it's not a good thing for us, so they're just forcing us to submit!" Meng Fan didn't care about Liu Xia's reaction.
With that, he saw that Liu Xia's face was still cold, he could not help but smile and continued: "However, for us, there is nothing we can do! Don't forget, we still have that thing in our hands, so they probably won't be able to recognize it. "
Meng Fan's words were clearly directed towards Liu Xia. He kept looking at Liu Xia, and when he finished speaking, the smile on his face became even wider, as if he was preparing something. His smile was not ordinary.
When Liu Xia heard Meng Fan's words, his eyes shone brightly, as if he had just thought of something. The gloomy expression on his face quickly faded, and a look of joy appeared on his face. Like Meng Fan, he began to laugh.
There were only three people in the room. Meng Fan and Liu Xia's laughter scared Zhou Qing quite a bit. She didn't know what Meng Fan and Liu Xia were planning, but after hearing Meng Fan talk about some random things, Liu Xia actually laughed along with him. Coupled with their wicked smiles, in Zhou Qing's eyes, they were truly vulgar to the extreme.
"What are you talking about? What is that thing? " Seeing Meng Fan and Liu Xia's expressions, Zhou Qing frowned slightly as she asked Meng Fan.0
Although Zhou Qing heard Meng Fan's words, she didn't know what Meng Fan meant. Liu Xia, on the other hand, seemed to understand Meng Fan's meaning. This could be seen from Liu Xia's smile, which was the same as Meng Fan's.
But now, seeing Meng Fan and Liu Xia's wretched and naughty faces, even though she knew Meng Fan wouldn't tell her, she still couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine!" "It's just a small plan. Help me call that old scoundrel back and settle this matter. It's time for us to return!" Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Meng Fan coughed dryly, then changed the topic and instructed Zhou Qing.
Hearing Meng Fan's words, Zhou Qing didn't believe him, but she didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, she had been with Meng Fan for so long, so she knew that Meng Fan wouldn't tell her about some of the things he had done. Thus, he didn't pursue the matter any further, coldly snorted, stood up and walked out.
Not long after, Zhou Qing brought Old Man Hu and Xiao Ying back to the room.
"How is it?! Have you made up your minds? " When Old Man Hu came in, he seemed to have learned something from Zhou Qing. He looked at Meng Fan and Liu Xia as he laughed and asked.
"How can you not agree? "You guys have a lot of power, we're just small shrimps. If you don't agree, then maybe we'll be wiped out!" Meng Fan didn't look happy at all when facing old man Hu. Although he had long since come up with a plan to deal with him, when he faced the old man, the displeasure in his heart didn't lessen in the slightest.
Meng Fan's words contained a bit of a scolding and scolding. He was hinting at the other party using his power to suppress others. The agreement they had reached with Meng Fan before had now gone against their word.
"Hehe!" If all the wandering souls who could shake the world outside are just small fish and small shrimps, then wouldn't we be the ones sitting in the well and watching the sky?! " However, old man Hu didn't mind Meng Fan's words at all. Instead, he laughed loudly, as if he didn't understand what Meng Fan meant.
"Forget it!" We'll be going back first. We'll get someone to come over tonight to collect the items! " Faced with old man Hu's selective disregard, Meng Fan didn't have the heart to nag him anymore. He stood up and walked toward the door.
However, just as Meng Fan arrived at the door, he discovered that aside from Liu Xia and Zhou Qing, the other people following him had unknowingly caught up as well. Their expressions immediately darkened as they turned their heads to Old Man Hu and continued.
"Since it has already begun, there's no need for her to follow me! According to your plans, I'm just a fool who provided the bait. Don't tell me that you still want someone to spy on me? "
Seeing him staring at him with a face full of anger, he became even more annoyed. Without waiting for old man Hu's reply, he continued, "I don't like to be watched. If you insist, I can guarantee that you won't be able to obtain the shadow to complete your so-called final plan!"
"Haha!" Shadow back! You don't need to go! " With Meng Fan's actions, old man Hu immediately laughed loudly and called Shadow back. He then continued to speak to Meng Fan and the others who were standing at the entrance, "I'll send someone to get the things tonight! I hope nothing unexpected will happen! "
"Don't worry!" If I say I give it to you, there won't be any accident! And thanks for your understanding! I really don't like being watched, especially by people who are very arrogant in front of people who are being watched! " After saying that, Meng Fan walked out of the room without even looking at the old man named Hu and Shadow.
