89: Solve

Ren Tingfeng nodded and watched them leave.

After Shi Xu and Su Mianmian left, Ren Tingfeng sent for his adopted son.

On his way, Ren Liang felt a little panicked.

He didn't know why, but he always felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

Ren Liang arrived at the door of Ren Tingfeng's room, forced a flattering smile, and then knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, but it wasn't Ren Tingfeng who opened it, but Liang Xiaoqi, the man Ren Liang disliked the most.

"Why are you here? Where's my dad?"

Ren Liang's flattering smile completely dropped the moment he saw him. He glared at Liang Xiaoqi with ill intent, wishing he could quickly kick him out.

Liang Xiaoqi didn't pay attention to his attitude, or perhaps he was already used to Ren Liang's expressions.

He looked at Ren Liang calmly and casually said, "Chief Ren isn't feeling well and is resting inside."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of joy crossed Ren Liang's face.

Ren Tingfeng, who had been observing Ren Liang from the shadows, saw the change in his expression, and a cold sneer appeared on his lips.

There was no need to continue the act; he was already certain that Ren Liang was behind it.

He never thought, never in a million years, that Ren Liang would be so bold.

He had always treated him so well, but unfortunately, Ren Liang was still not content.

In that case, he couldn't blame him... A fleeting murderous intent flashed in Ren Tingfeng's eyes, so quickly that one almost missed it.

Ren Liang looked at Liang Xiaoqi, a hint of impatience flashing across his face.

"I know, you can leave now!"

"From now on, when I'm present, you'd best disappear automatically."

"Don't make me kick you out."

Ren Liang looked at him, speaking with annoyance.

Liang Xiaoqi didn't even face him directly; he was indifferent, as if Ren Liang's words were just wind, blowing away instantly.

Seeing that he still wasn't leaving, Ren Liang said, exasperated, "Liang Xiaoqi, why aren't you leaving? Can't you understand human speech?"

He was furious. This Liang Xiaoqi, did he not understand what 'making way' meant?

Ren Tingfeng had called him over, and for an outsider to just stand there, what was the meaning of it?

Ren Liang looked at Liang Xiaoqi, utterly fed up, and was about to say something when Ren Tingfeng walked out with a cold expression.

When he saw Ren Tingfeng come out, the annoyance on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a flattering expression.

"Dad, I heard you weren't feeling well. Why did you come out?"

"Did you hear us talking outside?"

"I'm sorry, I spoke a little too loudly just now."

Ren Liang looked at Ren Tingfeng, speaking ingratiatingly.

Ren Tingfeng ignored him and walked directly to the main seat to sit down.

Ren Liang didn't notice Ren Tingfeng's unusual behavior. He was about to pour him tea as usual when Liang Xiaoqi reached out and stopped him.

Liang Xiaoqi's face was indifferent. Seeing this, Ren Liang instinctively wanted to curse at him.

Remembering that Ren Tingfeng was present, Ren Liang gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.

He gave Liang Xiaoqi a look that said, "I'll settle the score with you later."

Liang Xiaoqi completely ignored him, not even giving him a glance.

Ren Liang was furious at being ignored like that.

Ren Tingfeng looked at Ren Liang, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Ren Liang, do you have nothing to say?"

Ren Tingfeng looked at him coldly, his tone chilling to the bone.

Upon hearing this, Ren Liang felt as if something had choked his throat, making him extremely uncomfortable.

He instinctively wanted to shake his head, but just as he started to, Ren Tingfeng let out a cold laugh.

Ren Liang was so frightened that he didn't dare to shake his head again.

"I already know about you poisoning me."

"I truly never expected you to be this kind of person."

"You saved me back then, and I took you in as my adopted son."

"Now I have the right to suspect whether the danger I encountered back then was premeditated."

"Is Yao Yin behind you?"

Ren Tingfeng looked at Ren Liang with a cold expression, his gaze sharp, as if he saw through all of Ren Liang's little tricks.

Ren Liang's heart raced uncontrollably. He finally understood why he had felt so uneasy on his way here; it turned out everything had been traceable.

But how did Ren Tingfeng know about this?

He had done it so secretly, and Ren Tingfeng hadn't discovered it for so long, so why would it suddenly come to light now?

Could it be... Ren Liang suddenly remembered Liang Xiaoqi saying that Ren Tingfeng wasn't feeling well today. Could it be because he had seen a doctor, and the poison was found by that doctor?

Impossible, right?

When Yao Yin gave him the poison, he had said that no doctor would be able to detect the poison in Ren Tingfeng's body.

Ren Liang was terrified now. He was originally an uneducated person, and poisoning Ren Tingfeng was the bravest thing he had ever done. Now that the matter was exposed, he dared not say anything at all.

He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would reveal himself.

Ren Tingfeng looked at Ren Liang's feigned dead appearance and silently shook his head.

Someone like Ren Liang probably wouldn't dare to plot against him; the person behind him must be Yao Yin.

In that case, there was no need to keep him around.

Su Mianmian and Shi Xu were right; weeds never die out completely, and they'll sprout again when the wind blows.

Ren Tingfeng would not keep a future problem like Ren Liang.

If Ren Liang hadn't saved him, he wouldn't even listen to anything he had to say today.

Ren Tingfeng gave Liang Xiaoqi a signal, and Liang Xiaoqi walked over to Ren Liang and seized him.

Just as Ren Liang was about to say something, Liang Xiaoqi directly stuffed a foul-smelling cloth into his mouth.

He looked at Ren Tingfeng pleadingly, making muffled sounds.

Ren Tingfeng no longer looked at him, turning his head away.

Ren Liang knew he wouldn't escape death today, so he stopped pretending and glared at Ren Tingfeng with fury.

He hated, he didn't understand why Ren Tingfeng wouldn't even let him say a single word in his defense.

He hated even more that Ren Tingfeng's actions were so ruthless, wanting to kill him as soon as he found out.

Couldn't he just let him go?

Ren Liang was seething with hatred.

Ren Tingfeng didn't look at him, but he felt that hateful gaze.

A sarcastic smile played on his lips. If anyone should hate, he should hate him even more.

Ren Liang, someone he trusted so much, had given him such a huge surprise behind his back.

If he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be doing justice to the suffering he was about to endure.

When Su Mianmian and Shi Xu saw Ren Liang being dragged out by Liang Xiaoqi from the surveillance footage, both of them were stunned for a moment.

"I wondered who it was, turns out it's Ren Liang."

"By the way, isn't he Ren Tingfeng's adopted son?"

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with curiosity, as if she wanted to hear how he would explain it.

Shi Xu looked at her with amusement, as if laughing at her for asking him everything.

Su Mianmian stuck out her tongue at him, looking mischievous.

She just liked asking him; was he not going to give her answers?

Su Mianmian gave Shi Xu a look that said, "If you don't like it, just deal with it," and Shi Xu smiled.

"Ren Liang is timid, but his ambition is great."

"Ren Tingfeng is an upright person; he wouldn't use his power to benefit Ren Liang."

"His ambition couldn't be satisfied by Ren Tingfeng, so he naturally harbored resentment."

"At this time, Yao Yin found him and made a deal with him, which he naturally wouldn't refuse."

"Human desire, sometimes it's really..."

Shi Xu said no more, feeling that Su Mianmian should understand.

Su Mianmian did indeed understand. She shook her head and said helplessly, "If he were a bit smarter, he wouldn't have done this."

What Ren Tingfeng could give him was the best.

Unfortunately, this Ren Liang understood nothing.

Su Mianmian thought he was truly ignorant.

Seeing Su Mianmian even commenting on Ren Liang, Shi Xu couldn't help but laugh.

"Get ready, Ren Tingfeng will probably come looking for you soon."

"His poison hasn't been cured yet."

Shi Xu guessed that Ren Tingfeng must be eager to get rid of the poison in his body; if nothing unexpected happened, he would come to find Su Mianmian very soon.
