“Dad……” Fang Bai looked at Lin Haifeng, who was sitting still in place, slowly swallowed and softly called out.
Then, Fang Bai saw Lin Haifeng slowly relax his neck and then gently smile...
It wasn't bitter, nor was it a forced smile...
It was a genuine smile, coming from the heart...
Although Fang Bai couldn't understand why Lin Haifeng could still smile after being slapped in the face moments ago...
“A Bai, go change the table for me and bring a new set of tea utensils.”
Fang Bai remained silent for a while, but eventually set aside his doubts and turned to leave the office, which looked as if it had been swept by a storm.
...
In less than thirty minutes, Fang Bai returned to the office with new tables, chairs, and tea utensils. At that moment, Lin Haifeng seemed as if nothing had happened and was standing by the window, gazing at the distant scenery.
Fang Bai set the new tables and chairs, looked at Lin Haifeng’s upright back, and softly asked,
“Dad... Is this a declaration of war?”
“Declaration of war? Against whom?”
“Wen Yu and us...”
“That's just him venting his frustrations, nothing to worry about...”
“But...”
“A declaration of war is impossible. Just for Qin Tian and Wen Yu's 1000 points of physical attributes, Wen Yu wouldn't declare war on us for such a trivial matter.”
Upon hearing Lin Haifeng's words, Fang Bai fell silent...
“You're confused, aren't you?”
“You're wondering, didn't Wen Yu's attitude just now make our preparations seem futile?”
Fang Bai nodded gently in response.
“I did a lot of things beforehand, and I told you my purpose... I wanted to give Wen Yu some face, let him withdraw from this matter...”
“But it didn't succeed.”
Fang Bai interjected.
“No!!!”
Lin Haifeng replied firmly.
“It has already succeeded. Actually, before our conversation just now, I had already thought of two possibilities.”
“First, Wen Yu accepted the tacit understanding between us. In that case, the whole thing would be just an accident, and I would use the condition of treating Qin Shiyuan to exchange for Qin Tian to serve me once. That would be reasonable!”
“But that option has been disrupted by Wen Yu...”
Fang Bai had a clear understanding of what just happened...
“That's right, the facts prove that Wen Yu still has temper and blood. He didn't take the steps I had set for him beforehand... So, that leads to the second point...”
“He will be angry, he will rage, he will slap my face as he just did... But he will not declare war on us. At most, he will create some trouble for us in small matters. He knows my bottom line just as I know his, and the actions against Qin Tian actually did not touch Wen Yu's bottom line...”
“Moreover, today’s conversation, Wen Yu won’t voluntarily disclose it, and I won’t either. To outsiders, this incident is still an unexpected accident. At most, Wen Yu lost some face in front of me, but note, he only lost face in front of me. To others, Wen Yu is still Wen Yu. The truth of this matter, Wen Yu himself cannot widely publicize...”
“The facts are already determined! For most people, the market demonic creature attack incident is just an accident!”
“So, no matter what the situation is, Wen Yu has nothing directly entangled with this matter. Even if he wants to intervene, he is powerless...”
...
“Wen Yu being removed from this incident has become inevitable. What he can do next will only be some small tactics. Guess what he will do now?”
Fang Bai remained silent for a moment and confidently said,
“Find Tang Haofei!”
“Exactly, find Tang Haofei! He will definitely disclose the entire Sea King Control Plan, and he might even study how to join forces with Tang Haofei to kill me...”
“Is that okay? Will Wen Yu telling Tang Haofei about the Sea King Control Plan really not affect the plan?”
Upon hearing Fang Bai's words, Lin Haifeng's lips slowly formed a slight curve...
“Foolish child, how could you not know that Wen Yu seeking Tang Haofei is not part of my calculations...”
