CHAPTER 790: CHAPTER 788: APOLOGY

You all don’t know what Housekeeper Jia saw.

He felt that at this moment, he was not looking at a beauty, but a brutal killing god!

Originally, even if Black Rose had murderous intentions and was furious, her beauty would make people attribute this violence to a wild beauty!

But at this very moment!

Right after Young Master Lin and Young Master Lu brazenly commented on Black Rose, and gazed at her unrestrainedly!

Black Rose’s beauty could no longer contain her murderous intent!

She had completely given up any means to maintain her beauty!

She didn’t care anymore!

The most obvious sign was her bloodshot fingers!

At this moment, the trigger was already half pulled!

Just one more pull and Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng, who were talking, might be skewered like candied haw on a stick!

Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng witnessed this scene.

"What now? Not hiding?"

Lu Xiaobu said to Lin Feng with a light laugh.

"Hide? Why hide? If I did, wouldn’t our previous conversation be meaningless?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly, calmly puffing on his cigar.

But his slight unconscious movements still revealed a trace of fear in his heart!

This was normal.

After all, Lin Feng was an ordinary person, unlike Lu Xiaobu who knew for sure he was safe!

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are gambling."

Lu Xiaobu laughed.

"Of course, hanging out with you, it’s not fun if we don’t bet on something," Lin Feng also smiled and said: "Besides, you’re here to take the fall first! She will shoot you first anyway!"

"Alright then, let’s wait," Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, puffing on his cigar.

Indeed, the two of them were gambling.

Gambled whether the furious Black Rose would lose her sanity and pull the trigger directly!

Although the two men pursued different goals, their needs were the same.

As long as Black Rose could maintain her sanity under such circumstances, then there’s fun to be had!

If not!

There’s another way!

You know!

Time ticked by second by second!

The ash on the cigars of Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng had grown quite long!

However, Black Rose’s fingers still hadn’t fully pulled the trigger!

The struggle in Black Rose’s eyes was intense!

Lu Xiaobu had both new grudges and old hatreds against her!

Lin Feng was unabashedly offending her!

Both men deserved death in her eyes!

Especially since she was in control of both their lives.

The desire to kill them both kept morphing into a demon, constantly chanting—kill them! kill them! revenge! revenge!

This desire was very strong, so strong she was almost unable to control it!

But her remaining sliver of sanity kept reminding her!

Don’t kill, don’t kill!

If she killed Lin Feng, the Lin Family, which already had almost no heirs, would inevitably engage in a life and death struggle with the Xue Family!

Then, she would just become a complete sacrificial pawn!

Even if we don’t talk about Lin Feng, there’s Lu Xiaobu!

She couldn’t kill him either!

Because the entire country’s focus was currently on Alipay and the UnionPay!

If Lu Xiaobu died at this moment!

Then she would be the one utterly disadvantaged, whether guilty or not!

That’s also why she had been thinking about crippling Lu Xiaobu all this time!

Then slowly torment him!

Wait until UnionPay completely triumphs, and when the national attention drifts away from Lu Xiaobu to crush him thoroughly!

Neither could be killed!

Even now, she couldn’t even proceed with the original plan to cripple Lu Xiaobu!

Because Lin Feng was here!

Regardless of the exact relationship between the two.

Just mentioning Lin Feng’s cunning like a fox, he would definitely seize this opportunity to severely blackmail the Xue Family, to blackmail her!

And perhaps, he might also forcefully invest in Lu Xiaobu’s Alipay, and at that point, it would be a complete defeat!

Damn it!

Her cruelty intensified on her face!

Her clenched teeth were nearly shattered!

Lin Feng! Lu Xiaobu!

You two are really ruthless!!!

"Huff huff huff!"

Black Rose was breathing heavily, her left hand clutching her right.

It seemed like she was trying to stabilize her posture, but in reality, she was preventing an accidental discharge!

Yes, in the end, her rationality won!

"Apologize!"

With an icy face, Black Rose looked at Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng in front of her.

"Ah?"

Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu exchanged a glance!

Then!

"Hahaha!"

The two burst into laughter!

Sorry!

They won the bet!

Victory ultimately belonged to them!

What?! How could they tell they had won?!

It was simple. Would Black Rose have said the word ’apologize’ if she had lost her rationality?

"Apologize!"

Black Rose said coldly again.

"Of course!"

Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders.

"We apologize!"

Lin Feng also nodded.

Then.

Both men stood up simultaneously, looked at Black Rose across them, and bowed slightly, "Beautiful Miss Xue Lin, we sincerely apologize for the crude words earlier!"

The two spoke as if they had planned it.

From the motion to their words, everything was virtually identical!

Of course, they had planned it.

For the two of them, just a sentence or a look was enough to execute a plan.

Just like, was it you who broke my tooth, or should I bite a piece of your flesh!

"Huff!"

Black Rose exhaled deeply again.

Hearing the apologies, a certain amount of rationality returned to her heart.

She lowered her left hand!

Ostensibly, she accepted their apology, no longer holding a firm posture, letting go of her full-on attack stance!

But in reality, her regained rationality allowed her to control everything with one hand!

This scene happened not too quickly, but not too slowly either!

The surrounding businessmen were dumbfounded!

To the ordinary eye, this was a simple exchange of words.

But to these seasoned businessmen.

That scene was no less than a duel among Martial Arts masters!

It was truly forceful, striking to the core, constantly changing, yet always targeting the vital points!

Without considering any relationships of friends or foes.

Any of them, much older than any two of the trio including Lu Xiaobu, had to sincerely express their admiration—impressive! Impressive!

"Amazing!"

Zhan Longyan was mesmerized!

He considered himself if not as Zhuge Liang, at least a top-grade Strategist!

Yet, today, he realized he was merely a frog in a well!

"Huff!"

Xia Jie was also deeply moved!

At that moment, he finally understood something!

That was, Lu Xiaobu was never a fool, nor just a prodigal waiting to die!

But a wise man playing the fool, a true overlord capable of deceiving everyone!

Especially, how could they ever think Lu Xiaobu was lust-driven?

He now thought of slapping himself!

They were the foolish ones, blinded by ignorance!

And now, the real confrontation began!
