Xu Mingzhe kept smiling, naturally and with an air of innocence.
But his words carried a hint of chilly murderous intent!
Although Xu Mingzhe's words carried a hint of chilly murderous intent, Yan Qingdi seemed completely unaffected, his face calm and natural.
"If Young Master Xu wanted to do this, you wouldn't be sitting here right now!" Yan Qingdi said with full confidence, "You should have told Ye Xunhuan earlier!"
"If I stayed here waiting for Ye Xunhuan to come, wouldn't it be safer?" Xu Mingzhe said blandly, "This way, I can even get on good terms with Ye Xunhuan, and Qiu Ruoxi might appreciate it, right?"
Yan Qingdi's expression suddenly turned grim, "If that's the case, then why hasn't Young Master Xu contacted him yet?"
"How do you know I haven't already?" Xu Mingzhe retorted.
Seeing Yan Qingdi about to lose his temper, Xu Mingzhe spoke again, "Young Master Yan, I'm not interested in your fight, and I don't want to take part!"
"Besides, I can't get involved even if I wanted to."
Xu Mingzhe gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, causing a small vortex to form in the red wine within.
"Whether it's you or Ye Xunhuan, you're both top-level scions, and I can only swagger in such a space." Xu Mingzhe said softly while swirling the wine glass, "When you two fight, it's either you die or he dies!"
"But whether it's you dying or Ye Xunhuan dying, it doesn't benefit me. Worse yet, I could become collateral damage in your battle."
"So, Young Master Yan, don't waste your efforts on me. I won't get involved."
"But you've already gotten involved!" Yan Qingdi said heavily.
"What have I gotten involved in?" Xu Mingzhe shrugged, "If you're talking about the VR glasses your company is researching, then I can only say it's just normal business competition!"
"And you can't blame me; after all, it's your fault for having inadequate security measures, right?"
"Yan Qingdi, if you want to fight Ye Xunhuan, go ahead, but I won't join you." Xu Mingzhe said with a sneer, "Of course, I won't be helping Ye Xunhuan either."
"I'm quite happy to watch you two fight to the death."
Xu Mingzhe didn't conceal his true thoughts.
It's not that he didn't want to, but facing someone like Yan Qingdi, even if you hide your true feelings, it wouldn't do any good.
It's better to just honestly express your innermost thoughts!
The determined, ironclad words of Xu Mingzhe echoed in his ears, with a calm and unruffled expression in his eyes, Yan Qingdi's face turned extremely gloomy.
He approached Xu Mingzhe in hopes of collaboration, believing they had a common enemy.
But who knew that Xu Mingzhe would refuse before he could even speak!
"If you agree to cooperate with me, I'll give you a four-six split, you take four I take six!" Yan Qingdi said heavily.
In Yan Qingdi's view, even though Xu Mingzhe refused now, as long as he offered enough benefits, Xu Mingzhe would be tempted.
After all, this is an era that prioritizes benefits above all.
"Young Master Yan, even if you offer me seven, I still won't agree." Xu Mingzhe refused without hesitation, "You're not stupid, you should see, I initially agreed to fight Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan with you, but now I'm backing out, it already indicates that I won't help you!"
Hearing Xu Mingzhe mention this, Yan Qingdi's face became even uglier.
"You're not considering it at all?"
"Not considering it!" Xu Mingzhe shook his head, "If you want to fight him, go ahead, just don't involve me. I'm content with making a small profit."
"Consider it as if I never came to see you today." Yan Qingdi snorted coldly, stood up, and made to leave.
Xu Mingzhe saw this and didn't stop Yan Qingdi, letting him leave just like that.
Not long after Yan Qingdi left, Black Ghost walked in from outside: "Young Master, why did Yan Qingdi look so grim when he left? Did you anger him away?"
Saying that, Black Ghost sat across from Xu Mingzhe without hesitation and picked up the bottle of red wine, drinking directly from it.
Seeing this scene, Xu Mingzhe's face immediately darkened, "Black Ghost, do you even know what wine this is..."
"This is Petrus, the gold of wines!" Xu Mingzhe said black-faced, "This bottle costs over thirty thousand..."
"But it doesn't taste better than Erguotou..."
Upon hearing Black Ghost's words, Xu Mingzhe was trembling all over with anger, "You..."
Seeing Xu Mingzhe about to get mad, Black Ghost smiled sheepishly, "Young Master, what did Yan Qingdi talk to you about?"
Xu Mingzhe took a deep breath, slowly suppressing his anger, "Nothing, just wanted me to team up with him to deal with Ye Xunhuan!"
"I'm not stupid!" Xu Mingzhe snorted, "How could I agree!"
"No wonder Yan Qingdi looked so grim." Black Ghost slowly revealed a look of realization, "But Young Master, you previously conspired with Qiu Ruoxi against Yan Qingdi, and now you've offended him again!"
"If Yan Qingdi deals with Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan, you'll be next, you know." Black Ghost reminded, "And Qiu Ruoxi will be out of reach for you too..."
"Do you think Yan Qingdi can beat Ye Xunhuan?" Xu Mingzhe said disdainfully, "It's not that I look down on Yan Qingdi, but he only has a thirty percent chance of winning!"
"Do you have that much faith in Ye Xunhuan?"
"He's too mysterious!" Xu Mingzhe sighed heavily, "Black Ghost, in this world, the unknown is always the most dangerous!"
"Moreover, Ye Xunhuan is the grandson of the Qin family, and he's so skilled. Even if Yan Qingdi can win, does he dare to kill Ye Xunhuan?" Xu Mingzhe said disdainfully, "Unless he wants to die himself!"
"It seems, Young Master, you're convinced Ye Xunhuan will win!"
Xu Mingzhe himself is part of the elite, well aware of the ways of the elite.
The younger generation can fight however they want, as long as no one dies, it's fine, but if someone dies, it's no longer a matter for the younger generation.
So Xu Mingzhe believed that even if Yan Qingdi could win, he wouldn't be able to deal with Ye Xunhuan, not to mention he doesn't even believe Yan Qingdi will win!
"Young Master, then shall we make a bet..."
"I bet Yan Qingdi will win. If I win, bring me a celebrity to spend a few days with." Black Ghost grinned, "If I lose, you decide what to do!"
"I'm not betting with you!"
"All your money comes from me, apart from your life, what else can you offer me?"
"Then I'll give you my life!"
