Chapter 1791 Next time, find out the truth before taking action
Wen Zhidao felt that his life had been rough enough.
In order to continue practicing, he had endured countless hardships and met countless people.
But there is someone as shameless as Ling Tian.
This is really the first time I see you.
I accepted the task, why should I give you half of the bonus?
He smiled coldly.
"The other party only paid half of the deposit..."
It's not that he's a coward.
The main reason is that Ling Tian is too powerful.
If he can't satisfy Ling Tian, he will definitely not be able to complete his mission.
Half, that is fifty thousand.
Not much really.
If you split it in half, it would be twenty-five thousand.
For Ling Tian now, these crystal stones are just like snacks.
But he doesn't think it's too little.
A little adds up to a lot.
Ling Tian stretched out his hand to him.
Wen Zhidao looked painful, but he obediently took out five silver bills and handed them over.
Each silver note has a face value of five thousand medium-grade crystals.
Ling Tian put away the banknote.
The sword was naturally put back.
Wu Jixiang is horrified.
Wen Zhidao was excited.
Just when they both thought Ling Tian had finally given up.
Ling Tian suddenly turned around and said to Wu Jixiang.
"If you want it, discuss it with him."
"..."
what's the situation?
Before Wen Zhidao could understand what was going on, Wu Jixiang reacted very quickly.
He asked for a huge sum of money.
"I want 20,000 of the remaining 250,000!"
"..."
Do you have any shame?
The total deposit is only 50,000.
Ling Tian is only halfway there, and you want 20,000?
So he could only earn 5,000 after working so hard for so long?
Wen Zhidao naturally wouldn't do it.
But just when he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He had no objection to Ling Tian taking half.
After all, Ling Tian is too powerful, and he is far from being Ling Tian's opponent.
If the other party insists on intervening, he can only give up.
If the mission fails, the deposit will not be refunded.
However, you need to compensate the other party an amount equal to the deposit.
The former is for prestige.
The latter is for credibility.
Spending half of the deposit to get rid of Ling Tian was worth it for Wen Zhidao.
But Wu Jixiang is a mission target.
Why should I share his money?
Wen Zhidao smiled coldly.
Just when he was about to attack Wu Jixiang directly.
Ling Tian said faintly.
"I forgot to tell you that Wu Jixiang is from that organization."
"But he and the other party are not on the same page."
Wen Zhidao stopped.
He didn't want to believe Ling Tian's words.
But then again, Ling Tian is so strong, there is no reason to lie to him.
Wanted to stop him from killing Wu Jixiang.
Just do it directly.
Why waste your breath talking to him?
After thinking for a while, he asked Ling Tian.
"How do you prove it?"
"Wu Jixiang."
Ling Tian naturally didn't need to explain himself, and directly called out Wu Jixiang.
Wu Jixiang understood and told Wen Zhidao everything he knew bit by bit.
Wen Zhidao is a principled man.
Although he is a casual cultivator, he is hostile to the children of big families.
But they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
So before taking on this task, I did a lot of research.
What Wu Jixiang said matched the information he obtained from his investigation.
In other words, this guy didn't lie.
Then, Wen Zhidao started crying.
How hard it is to make money!
It's hard to find someone so generous as to offer 100,000 medium-quality crystals.
Although it's a bit dangerous, it's worth it.
result……
Was it a mistake?
Seeing him crying so sadly, Wu Jixiang couldn't help but patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't cry, it's just a crystal, I..."
Never mind, he's poor too.
I saw that Wu Jixiang stopped comforting me halfway through.
Wen Zhidao was even sadder.
That’s one hundred thousand mid-grade crystals!
And he gave half of the deposit to Ling Tian.
Now the mission seems impossible to complete.
In other words, he still has to return 50,000 to his employer.
Let’s do the math.
He lost a full 125,000 medium-grade crystals!
One hundred and twenty-five thousand!
Wen Zhidao was both angry and distressed.
He really wanted to just attack and kill Wu Jixiang.
But he knew it very well.
Since Ling Tian said so, it means that Wu Jixiang is really not the other party's person.
Killing him is hard to get over.
Furthermore……
Would Ling Tian really just watch him attack Wu Jixiang and do nothing?
Wen Zhidao is not a fool.
He quickly realized that Ling Tian just wanted to steal some crystals from him.
In fact, there was no intention to stand idly by.
Think of this.
He was so angry that his teeth ached.
Okay, okay, just bully him like this, right?
"If I fail to complete the task, the deposit will be returned..."
Wen Zhidao said aggrievedly.
Looking at this old guy who is over fifty years old and almost crying.
Ling Tian only replied with one sentence.
"Next time, find out more before you take action."
"..."
In other words, the 25,000 crystals just now are not going to be returned, right?
Wen Zhidao felt very painful.
But he quickly adjusted his mood.
"So, what's going on?"
"According to the information I got, Wu Jixiang is indeed in cahoots with that gang."
"Why did he change his mind?"
Although he was looking at Ling Tian, he was actually asking Wu Jixiang.
After all, Ling Tian was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Wu Jixiang then told his situation.
After listening, Wen Zhidao was silent for a long time.
"Brother, it's still harder for you."
He patted Wu Jixiang on the shoulder and said.
Although he is a casual cultivator.
On the path of cultivation, there are many dangers and troubles.
But no one has ever been as miserable as Wu Jixiang.
No wonder he betrayed.
If you have a father like that, you have to fight hard to stay alive since you were a child.
No one would be able to stand it.
Wu Jixiang hasn't gone crazy yet, which shows that he is mentally strong.
The corners of Wu Jixiang's mouth twitched.
Why does he feel like he is serving as a placebo for Wen Zhidao?
No matter what these two people think.
Ling Tian didn't plan to waste too much time here.
of course.
There is one more thing to understand.
"Who is the person who asked you to kill Wu Jixiang?"
"do not know."
Wen Zhidao shook his head.
"Normally, we don't ask about our employers."
"but……"
He glanced at Wu Jixiang and frowned.
"His situation is actually not difficult to guess."
"The one who wants to kill him is either from the Wu family of Haicheng City Lord's Mansion."
"Or, it could be the force he belongs to."
After all, no one else knew about Wu Jixiang's existence.
I have no grudge against him.
Wu Jixiang smiled coldly and affirmed.
"That must be someone from the Wu family!"
He has covered it up well over the years.
Even the four adults above could not tell that he had any second thoughts.
The only ones who want to get rid of him are from the Wu family!
But was it his cold-blooded father, or someone else?
It’s hard to say.
Thinking of Wu Youhuai’s life in the Wu family.
He felt that it was most likely done by the other brothers.
of course.
This is all speculation.
But to Ling Tian, it doesn’t matter.
He patted Wen Zhidao's shoulder and said.
"Then you're lucky."
"Although the mission cannot be completed, your deposit does not need to be refunded."
"No, we must be honest..." Wen Zhidao naturally refused.
If the news gets out, who will dare to look for him in the future?
Ling Tian said slowly.
“Who would know about this if the employer died?”
