Chapter 1344: Chapter 1344: Really Dislike This Person
Xv Jiazhi loved to smile, his smile was very infectious, and his amiable appearance was just like his name—very genuine, easily bridging the gap between people.
In addition to Xv Jiazhi’s way of dealing with people and matters, Lin Tian’s first impression of this man was incredibly favorable, of course, the slap he gave Cheng Dazui also left a deep impression.
"Him..." Miaoqiu said, drawing circles on Lin Tian’s chest with her red nails, "he’s kind of the Xv family’s odd one."
"Odd one? That’s quite an unusual description," Lin Tian murmured.
He had met quite a few odd ones before, all interesting people, and Xv Jiazhi was likely the same.
Miaoqiu said, "When the water is too clear, there are no fish; when a person is too observant, he has no followers. The Xv family is a scholarly and official lineage. Such families hold power, influence, and wealth—those are what make them presentable. And my cousin, he’s the one who does the things that aren’t presentable for the Xv family..."
Every noble family has its own domain, and the officialdom is more like the Xv family’s domain, money and power are not scarce commodities for them, but that doesn’t mean they’re satisfied—the Xv family is still involved in many fields,
On the surface, Xv Jiazhi seems like someone who knows how to play and loves to play, so the friends he associates with are very diverse, from all walks of life, and he can talk to anyone, with a smile on his face every day, a small gesture inadvertently can bridge the gap between people.
He can chat with women, and even better with men, and as long as he’s there, things basically won’t go cold.
Besides loving to smile, he’s very helpful and generous, although there’s an old saying that ’kindness doesn’t lead soldiers, emotion doesn’t establish affairs, righteousness doesn’t manage wealth, goodness doesn’t make an officer,’ yet this saying doesn’t apply to Xv Jiazhi. On the contrary, he can extract chestnuts from the fire, seemingly being at a disadvantage, but in the end, he turns out to be the biggest winner.
A person like him, although easygoing usually, when truly angry, it’s like a precious sword unsheathed, tension escalates, arrogance that leaves tongues clicking, ruthlessness that’s shocking.
But such things don’t really prove anything, they just say that the Xv family is quite powerful.
Suddenly, a possibility flashed in Lin Tian’s mind, and he asked, amused and annoyed, "Just because the driver broke a leg and the car was destroyed, and the other party’s attitude was a bit poor, did he make the family fall apart?"
Miaoqiu continued, "Do you know what happened afterward?"
Lin Tian shook his head, he didn’t even know the previous parts, how could he know what happened afterwards? He couldn’t guess it no matter what.
"The family’s decline was a major event in Kanyue City’s circles, whatever happened afterwards naturally couldn’t stay hidden. After investigation, none of the events had a trace of my cousin’s methods."
"What do you mean? Are you saying he didn’t partake in this affair?"
"Isn’t this like trying to cover something up clumsily?" Lin Tian instinctively frowned.
"That’s the most interesting part. At that time, everyone thought my cousin, besides playing, was just idling all day, but since that incident, his energies truly exploded."
"How so?"
"He usually met quite a few people from different walks of life, foreign military leaders, East Continent conglomerates, Linglu City’s drug lords, Qing Continent’s Dark Wound Association, East Continent’s royalty, Tang Country’s nobility—they all have deep ties with him, wherever he goes, he can become a favored guest. He owns three private planes, yet hardly uses them himself, as others send special jets to fetch him," Miaoqiu said, counting fingers.
Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but click his tongue, "You couldn’t tell at all just now, this guy has such hidden depths."
Miaoqiu laughed, "It’s not just you, until now, no one really paid attention to him. Oh, and the owner of that Maybach, disappeared a week later—it was done by Du Dahai’s people."
Upon hearing Du Dahai’s name again, Lin Tian wasn’t surprised, it was quite normal for him to work for Xv Jiazhi, yet Du Dahai was part of the Wang Family’s forces, was that really right? Could it be...
"Exactly, you’re right, Du Dahai has connections with him, he knows Shishi too."
"What about Black Gold?"
"Look at how much he values you, he even personally delivered the Clear Wind Evil-Dispelling Elixir, could Black Gold not be connected to him? Wu Yong has drunk with him twice," Miaoqiu said.
"..." For a moment, Lin Tian couldn’t tell if this was a good or bad thing.
"But my cousin also has a trait I mentioned earlier."
"He appears to suffer losses, but every time, he ends up being the biggest winner. He even brought out the Clear Wind Evil-Dispelling Elixir, he certainly won’t return empty-handed," Miaoqiu said.
Lin Tian laughed along, "Indeed, I owe him a significant favor. Keeping this favor always in mind, it’s quite unsettling. What do you think his purpose is?"
"You’re asking me? I truly don’t know. His methods are many, and his thoughts are peculiar. Even his mother doesn’t know what he’s thinking, how could I possibly know? Yet, it’s only him, if it were someone else, they likely wouldn’t have produced that pill earlier—except for the Tang Family."
"Why’s that?"
"The Clear Wind Evil-Dispelling Elixir is considered a treasure’s forbidden drug by the Tang Family; it’s never circulated outside. Besides the ones you gave me, we the Xu Family don’t have any. Therefore, him being able to acquire one is already quite difficult, and being willing to bring it out, the cost is indeed too great."
Lin Tian followed with a bitter smile, "A great cost, thus his expected reward is equally great. Hearing you say this, I suddenly dislike this person very much."
