Chapter 530 Unthinkable
Chapter 530 Unthinkable
First of all, Ma Tiantao was no match for him in terms of martial arts skills, so Chen Er said that at the time.
"Even if someone is going to treat, it will be me. Although we have different values and cannot work together, I am still richer than you."
After Chen Er finished speaking, he laughed and left. Ma Tiantao sighed helplessly. The two of them randomly found a restaurant and sat down. Chen Er was quite knowledgeable about tea ceremony.
Chen Er brewed a pot of good tea for Ma Tiantao. Ma Tiantao stretched out his trembling hand and drank the tea in one gulp. Only then did Ma Tiantao look at Chen Er, still showing a puzzled expression.
"Lord Chen Er, I have a question that has been lingering in my mind for many days, and I would like to ask you for confirmation."
Ma Tiantao's words caused Chen Er to pause slightly, but Chen Er didn't take it seriously at the time and simply nodded.
"Just say what you want to say. We're not enemies now. We're like friends. That's right, we're like friends who haven't seen each other for years. Just say what you want to say."
Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Ma Tiantao did not hesitate at all. He put his mouth close to Chen Er's ear and whispered something.
"Chen Er, you asked Ma Dazhi to kill Yang Xiaoqian, didn't you? I've never understood why you did this. You and Zhang Xingchen were very close."
Chen Er's body trembled slightly. He never expected that this matter would actually get out, and that Ma Tiantao would be the only one to know about it, meaning that Wei Zhongxian would also know.
Without a second thought, Chen Er grabbed Ma Tiantao by the neck with one hand. Chen Er was extremely angry when he attacked Ma Tiantao.
Ma Tiantao coughed incessantly: "Lord Chen Er, please let me go. Did I say something wrong? I didn't mean anything by it." Seeing that Ma Tiantao's expression was very serious, Chen Er loosened his grip slightly.
“Ma Tiantao, tell me who told you this. I can warn you clearly: you can eat more, but you can’t talk too much. Yang Xiaoqian has disappeared, and I am very sad right now, but you absolutely cannot smear me.”
Chen Er understood that if Yang Xiaoqian was killed by Ma Dazhi...
That means Ma Dazhi was entrusted by her to kill Yang Xiaoqian. If Zhang Xingchen found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Because in Zhang Xingchen's heart, Yang Xiaoqian is someone that no other woman can replace.
Chen Er felt that Ma Dazhi was too unreliable. The last time Ma Dazhi came back, he simply told Chen Er that Yang Xiaoqian had been dealt with, but Ma Dazhi never said where the body had been taken.
Chen Er now has a premonition that Yang Xiaoqian's body might be in Wei Zhongxian's hands.
Actually, Chen Er's guess was a little wrong. Although Ma Dazhi encountered Zhang Tianfei last time, it was because Ma Dazhi had already killed Yang Xiaoqian, which is why Zhang Tianfei appeared.
When Ma Dazhi saw that someone was coming and he couldn't beat them, he left first.
As for Zhang Tianfei, he buried Yang Xiaoqian's body on the spot. In fact, even Wei Zhongxian did not know where Yang Xiaoqian's body was; only Zhang Tianfei knew.
Ma Tiantao coughed several times to calm himself down a little.
"Lord Chen Er, I feel that drinking with you is also a kind of danger. You always try to ambush me, and you almost strangled me to death."
Ma Tiantao's words were full of anger towards Chen Er, but there was nothing he could do, since Chen Er's martial arts skills were better than his own.
If only he were Zhang Tianfei, at least he would have a chance to fight Chen Er. Chen Er saw that Ma Tiantao's expression had improved a bit, so he asked anxiously.
“Ma Tiantao, how did you find out about this, and why are you trying to smear me? Did Wei Zhongxian tell you to do this?”
Chen Er couldn't pretend he knew nothing if he took the initiative. Ma Tiantao smiled wryly and involuntarily gave Chen Er a thumbs up.
“Lord Chen Er, I finally understand why you have become the Emperor’s favorite. You really have your own methods. Now that things have come to this, why don’t you dare to admit it? Now one person knows, and Wei Zhongxian has already sent Zhang Tianfei to investigate.”
Ma Tiantao's words were like a muffled thunderclap, sending a chill down Chen Er's spine.
In a fit of excitement, Chen Er grabbed Ma Tiantao by the neck again: "Zhang Tianfei is still by Wei Zhongxian's side. Why have the people I sent never encountered Zhang Tianfei?"
Chen Er was truly puzzled. Logically speaking, he was also investigating Zhang Tianfei's affairs.
But why did Zhang Tianfei still have the audacity to stay by Wei Zhongxian's side? Ma Tiantao saw Chen Er's doubts and gave a bitter smile.
"Let me tell you the truth, Zhang Tianfei has been helping Wei Zhengxian because Wei Zhongxian has an adopted daughter named Yang Xiaomei."
Ma Tiantao sighed as he spoke, his anger and speechlessness compounded by the thought that Yang Xiaomei had now become Zhang Xingchen's woman.
Ma Tiantao really wanted to beat Zhang Xingchen to death to vent his hatred. In fact, Ma Tiantao knew that Zhang Tianfei liked Yang Xiaomei, but Zhang Tianfei was ruthless and Yang Xiaomei had no feelings for him.
On the contrary, he had a slight liking for Ma Tiantao, but in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, that slight liking was insignificant.
That's why Wei Zhongxian keeps Yang Xiaomei by Zhang Xingchen's side. Not only can he monitor Zhang Xingchen at all times, but he can also prevent Yang Xiaomei from being deceived by him.
This was the first time Chen Er had heard Yang Xiaomei's name, but he had a bad feeling about it.
“Ma Tiantao, don’t tell me that Yang Xiaomei and Yang Xiaoqian look a little alike. If that’s the case, things will get complicated.”
Chen Er knew perfectly well why Wei Zhongxian was doing this. Wasn't it to use Yang Xiaomei to completely control Zhang Xingchen? Chen Er's fists clenched involuntarily.
Ma Tiantao smiled and said, "I'm telling you, you guessed right. Yang Xiaomei has now been sent by Wei Zhongxian to Zhang Xingchen's side, and she has become Zhang Xingchen's wife."
"They'll be living together soon, and Zhang Xingchen will probably even invite you out for drinks."
