Seeing Su Mei coming, Ling Chen stood up and took the initiative to greet him, and it was a gentleman's help to pull the seat away.

"Thank you!" Su Mei smiled and said apologetically: "There was a little traffic jam on the road just now, which made you wait for a long time, sorry." ”

Ling Chen smiled faintly: "This is the capital, traffic jams are a normal thing, you don't need to apologize to me." Speaking of this, Ling Chen asked curiously, "When did you come to the capital?"

"I arrived last night and there are some things I need to deal with. ”

Ling Chen nodded and didn't continue to ask. He knew that Tianji Pavilion had a headquarters in the capital, and he had been invited to go there when the Tianji Ceremony was held.

"How do you know I'm in the capital?" As soon as this sentence came out, Ling Chen realized that he had asked a superfluous question. With the ability of Tianji Pavilion, it is very easy to find out where you are. Moreover, he is already the focus of Tianji Pavilion, and there must be people from Tianji Pavilion secretly monitoring him.

Sure enough, Su Mei lowered her head, looked at the napkin on the table, and remained silent about Ling Chen's question.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little cold, Ling Chen coughed lightly and took the initiative to start the topic, "How is your grandfather's health?" ”

"Grandpa is very good, Elder Du has been busy dealing with the affairs of the Heart Pavilion recently, and it is estimated that he will not leave the Heart Pavilion for a long time. ”

"Really?" Ling Chen was a little strange. Yangxin Pavilion is a group of people who support the elderly, what can they do? There may be a problem here.

Looking at Ling Chen's thoughtful appearance, Su Mei sighed secretly. If it was before, she and Ling Chen could talk about everything. Now, she had to be careful to guard against Ling Chen. Inside, she didn't want that. In her eyes, she has always regarded Ling Chen as her friend.

I think that at the beginning, if it wasn't for Ling Chen's great help and helping Tianji Pavilion survive several crises, it is estimated that Tianji Pavilion would be in a bad situation now.

However, thinking of the tragic death of her parents, Su Mei couldn't help biting her lip, and her heart was entangled.

"Miss Su, you asked me to meet tonight, I don't know what's going on?" Ling Chen took the initiative to shift the topic to the main topic. He also felt that it was impossible for him and Su Mei to talk as openly as before, and besides, neither of them knew what to talk about, and even the greetings were embarrassing.

"Congratulations. Su Mei smiled and said, "I heard that the Dragon and Tiger Guild Hall is developing very well. ”

"It's average, it's not as good as your Tianji Pavilion. ”

"According to the development momentum of the Dragon and Tiger Guild, it won't be long before you reach the height of Tianji Pavilion, and maybe you can surpass Tianji Pavilion. ”

Ling Chen smiled, "If there is such a day, it is also thanks to you." ”

"Ling Chen......" Su Mei hesitated for a moment, and after a while, she finally made up her mind and asked, "I want to ask you to make sure of one thing, whether the death of my parents is real...... Really......" Su Mei bit her thin lip lightly and said, "You should know what I want to ask, can you tell me?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen finally understood the main reason why Su Mei was looking for him. Although Su He and the others suspected that Su Zhengyang and his wife were killed by Ling Kun, there was no actual evidence. However, compared to Su He, it is more difficult for Su Mei to accept this fact, so she wants to ask clearly.

"Miss Su, I understand what you mean. Ling Chen organized his words and said slowly: "However, I don't know much about this matter, I haven't been in touch with my father for a long time, and I don't know where the others are or what they're doing. After a pause, Ling Chen continued: "Miss Su, I know that this matter has hit you hard, but in fact, my heart is not comfortable. If it weren't for this incident, Tianji Pavilion and I would have been friends forever, but now ......"

Ling Chen smiled bitterly, "I guess you have also seen it, you Tianji Pavilion people don't want to see me, treat me as a criminal, especially your grandfather, who actually accepted Wang Hao as a personal disciple, how do you think I feel?"

"I know. Su Mei nodded and said, "Grandpa accepted Wang Hao as an apprentice, which is really lacking in consideration. It's a pity that this is grandpa's own business, and I can't call the shots. Ling Chen, I hope you understand that I have always regarded you as my friend. ”

"Thanks, though, I think it's better to keep our distance now, so as not to off your grandfather. After speaking, without waiting for Su Mei to say anything, Ling Chen stood up from his seat and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do at night, so I'll go first." ”

Ignoring Su Mei's retention, Ling Chen walked quickly towards the outside of the restaurant.

In fact, he knew very well about the matter of Su Zhengyang and his wife, it was indeed Ling Kun's hand. However, it was impossible for him to tell Su Mei about this. First, I don't want to hurt Su Mei, and secondly, I ...... It's also for your own safety. If Su Mei knew, it would be a question of whether she could leave that restaurant.

Taking the elevator to the parking lot downstairs, Ling Chen was ready to get in the car and leave. Because it was night, most of the employees of the building had already gone home from work, and the parking lot was very empty with very few vehicles. Listening to the sound of his footsteps echoing in the parking lot, Ling Chen suddenly stopped, looking at the vehicle he parked not far away, his brows furrowed slightly. Suddenly, Ling Chen, who was standing still, accelerated violently and quickly rushed towards his car.

However, at the moment when Ling Chen launched, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. Before he had time to think about it, Ling Chen jumped and threw himself to the left.

Suddenly, a fierce wind struck, and flew over Ling Chen's shoulder. I only heard a 'clang', and the strong wind directly penetrated the window glass. Looking closely, I saw a sharp Longquan sword inserted in the driver's seat.

Ling Chen, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly got up and looked at his shoulder, although the Longquan sword did not stab his body, but the sword qi emitted by the Longquan sword left a slight scar on his shoulder, and blood came out of the wound drop by drop.

Damn! Ling Chen turned his head and looked at the back of the parking lot, his eyes wary. However, there was no one in the empty parking lot except him.

Seeing this, Ling Chen approached the car step by step. No matter who attacked him, the strength of the other party was very powerful. If it's really right, he's not very confident. So, the safest way is to leave as soon as possible.

Opening the car door and looking at the Longquan sword inserted in the seat, Ling Chen held the hilt of the sword and pulled it out hard.

Just as Ling Chen was about to throw the Longquan Sword on the ground, his gaze was suddenly attracted by the ancient seal engraved on the hilt.

This...... This is...... Finished!
