Hidden moth

Chapter 113: The Young Master of the Jianghu

Yang Lingxi subconsciously took a step back, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, and then she pretended to be aggrieved and about to cry: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word you say?"

He Kao: "It's okay if you don't understand. If these recent events weren't your fault, then get out of this situation immediately. You can leave this company at any time before the three-month probation period is up."

This weekend our department is going to Sawa for a team-building trip. By the time I return to the company, I hope you've left and won't be involved in this mess again."

Yang Lingxi finally broke down. Even though she couldn't understand what He Kao said, she could understand his main point - he wanted her to leave the company!

She showed an incredible look, took a step back and said: "He Kao, although I have some feelings for you, I am not yours, what gives you the right to do that?"

If she has no problem, this is a normal reaction of a normal person. She is just a colleague. Why does He Kao want her to resign?
He Kao smiled and even nodded, saying, "You're right, I can't ask you to do this. There's nothing between us, and I don't want to have anything to do with you.

I was just suggesting something. Whether you listen or not is your freedom. I can't interfere, and I don't have the right to do so. Let me say one last thing: if you're forced to do something, please tell me. This is my only chance to help you."

This was the second time he had said this. Yang Lingxi's face flushed red as she angrily said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by being forced to do something? I meant well, and you actually said these inappropriate things to me..."

Before she could finish her words, He Kao turned around and left very quickly.

Yang Lingxi shouted from behind him, "You——" and tried to chase him, but ultimately gave up. She stared at He Kao's back, gritting her teeth with a complicated expression.

She had never expected He Kao to come clean. There were some things she couldn't admit, so the best thing to do was to continue pretending to be innocent.

Putting aside the hidden truth, He Kao is bullying people, it's simply workplace bullying.

"You kid, you really don't know how to be gentle with women." This is what Qian Guran said in the vice president's office.

He Kaozhen walked back to the company. He found that Lao Qian had not yet left work, so he simply sat with him for a while and told him what had just happened, but was ridiculed by Lao Qian.

He Kao said with a straight face: "Who said I don't understand? Actually, I understand it very well! But there is a prerequisite for being kind to women. At least you have to know what is truly fragrant, right?

I know exactly what she did that night and in recent times."

Qian stopped smiling and nodded slightly, saying, "Well, you're just tearing down the threshold."

What does it mean to remove barriers? It means to directly expose the other party's tactics, tell them that you are aware of them, and ask them not to continue.

For example, when two veterans meet, and one of them treats the other as an amateur and wants to play tricks on him, the other will often do this.

The more common practice is to save face for both parties and just compare notes to let the other party know that they have chosen the wrong person, and usually they will stop.

Old Qian thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, if you really want to explain away what she did, you can force an explanation. You could say she just wanted to pursue you, but her methods were a little extreme.

For example, spreading rumors to ruin your reputation is just to make other girls stay away from you, so that they can take advantage of the situation and move in.

Look, so many people are criticizing you, but she is the only one who understands you, who truly likes you, and who believes in you unconditionally...Are you touched?"

He Kao: "Even if this explanation is true and she wasn't instructed by anyone, I'd rather stay away from people like that."

Qian Guran: "Under normal circumstances, if you tear down the threshold like this, the girl might just ignore you. But for this kind of person, there's another possibility: she might get angry and retaliate against you."

He Kao: "Revenge me?"

Qian Guran: "Most people wouldn't, but some people would. The rumor she originally made up was just about what happened between you and the girl in the cafe, but no one has any evidence, so they can't really do anything to you.

What if you do something else and say you did something to her, and she comes forward to accuse you, how can you prove your innocence?"

He Kao was speechless for a moment, and after a while he asked, "Is it really like that?" He paused and added, "Actually, I don't care!"

Old Qian sighed, picked up the teacup and said, "So you are still a little naive. The threshold is not demolished like this. You have to figure out who is targeting you.

It's now certain that Yang Lingxi was being manipulated. Therefore, your attempts to remove her door are futile, as you haven't even touched the edge of the person behind the scenes.

Put yourself in my shoes. If I were the person behind the scenes, I might instruct Yang Lingxi to try a different approach, the kind I just mentioned, and let her change her attitude to provoke you, offend you... until she completely irritates you.

To put it bluntly, the other party knows that you are not an ordinary person, or at least the person behind you is very unusual, with an extremely hot temper and extremely brutal methods. So let Yang Lingxi seek death until she succeeds.

If you can't hold back and really attack, you'll play into their hands. They can exploit your weakness and kill you... If the Hidden Moth shows up during this process, their goal will be achieved."

He Kao stood up in shock: "What does this mean? Will they force me to kill her?"

Qian Guran nodded expressionlessly. "It's not like you haven't seen what those people do. Could it be that they are incapable of such a thing? Yang Lingxi is just a tool. She doesn't know that someone is making her dance on the edge of a knife."

He Kao: "Would I kill someone for something like this?"

Qian Guran shook his head: "I know you can't, but the other party thinks you can. How did Liang Kai disappear? How did so many people disappear silently?
In their eyes, at least to ordinary people, you are extremely dangerous and cruel!"

He Kao: "Aren't you talking about the hidden moth?"

Qian Guran: "Yes, I'm talking about Yin Mo. Don't get me wrong, this is not my evaluation of Yin Mo, but the Yin Mo in the eyes of those people. Everyone knows that Yin Mo has a bad temper nowadays and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes!

Everyone knows you're not a Hidden Moth, but everyone also knows you're related to the Hidden Moth. Even if you don't know the Hidden Moth's identity, the Hidden Moth will definitely know you.

Everything those people did to you before was seen by Yin Mo as a provocation and threat to him, so he took action.

If Yin Mo was watching from the shadows, she would have noticed something was wrong with Yang Lingxi. She was trying to get close to you, investigate your social connections, and analyze clues to Yin Mo's identity.

Even if Yin E doesn't take action, you are not an ordinary person!
Rumor has it that you are a secret disciple of a certain elder in the clan law hall. If you are repeatedly provoked and offended by an ordinary person, will you tolerate it and not take action to deal with her?"

He Kao: "No matter who I want to deal with, there's no need to kill her."

Qian Guran shook his head and said, "When that time comes, whether she lives or dies, I'm afraid it won't be up to you to decide.

As long as you take action, whether publicly or privately, no matter what means you use. Even if you don't kill her, the other party may kill her, and then point the police investigation clues to you, and create all kinds of evidence against you. "

He Kao took a deep breath and said, "Is this really going to happen?"

Qian Guran: "This is just a prediction, a prediction of the worst case scenario. You and I don't know who is behind this, but if it were someone like Zhao Huanzhen, do you think they wouldn't be able to do it?
Since it's possible, we have to be on guard against it. So if you want to tear down the threshold, it's this threshold that you have to tear down. Before it happens, try to prevent it from happening!

He Kao: "If Yang Lingxi knew she was going to die, would she still do what you said?"

Qian Guran: “We need to look at things from two perspectives.

First of all, I guess if the situation really happened, she should not think that she is courting death. She should think that she is just following the arrangement of the person behind the scenes and doing something that no one can do anything to her.

She may not know your background, your involvement with Hidden Moth, or even what happened at all.

In the eyes of those behind the scenes, she is just a tool to make you make mistakes and reveal your flaws.

But from another perspective, she knew exactly what she was doing. She couldn't have been unaware that she was secretly filming, that she was fabricating rumors and slandering an innocent person. She did it on purpose!"

He Kao: "So I gave her a chance today and asked her if she was coerced or forced into this situation. If an ordinary person got involved in this kind of thing, they might end up in pieces!"

Qian Guran sighed again: "This is already the greatest kindness. You always have good intentions, which is why I am willing to help you. But her situation is different from that of the little girl named Meng Ya."

He Kao frowned and said, "You really put it bluntly. I feel the same way. Because of what happened with Meng Ya, I subconsciously thought of her as another Meng Ya, but the situation is still quite different."

Qian Guran: "Meng Ya accepted your kindness, but Yang Lingxi may not be able to appreciate this kindness, or the person she is willing to believe is not you at all."

He Kao: "There's nothing I can do about it. I just want to have a clear conscience... Old Qian, how do you think we should remove this threshold?"

Qian Guran waved his hand and said, "You'd better go on a good trip abroad first! No matter how this drama goes, you have to be there, so let's wait until you come back. I'll keep an eye on it for now and communicate with you if anything happens."

He Kao: "I'm also worried about one thing. Someone is investigating people related to me. Yang Lingxi saw Meng Ya and me in the cafe that day. I'm worried that they will find out about Meng Ya and might harm her."

Qian Guran's expression became serious. "Tell me the whole story again, focusing on Yang Lingxi's words and actions. Try not to miss any details."

He Kao gave a detailed account of Yang Lingxi's appearance and what she did during his meeting with Meng Ya that night, and he did not hide the fact that Lin Qingshuang was eavesdropping in secret.

Qian Guran pondered and said, "It's impossible for them to use this method on everyone you know and have met. They will only focus on suspicious clues related to the hidden moth. Otherwise, they won't be able to investigate everything.

To be honest, I also checked your aunt's family, but I didn't find any clues.

Judging from the situation at that time, from my point of view, the person who is more suspicious is not the crying Mengya, but your junior Xiaomiao who works in the cafe.

She was protecting your privacy and even kicked Yang Lingxi out for it. She was just a waitress, but she left on her own and left the entire store to you.

She had let Yang Lingxi down at the time, and even to vent her anger, Yang Lingxi might have reported it to the mastermind behind the scenes—Xiao Miao is a bit suspicious... You have to understand her mentality."

He Kao suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of that?"

Qian Guran said: "It's just a possibility, it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. This might be an opportunity. I'll go check if anyone has been secretly investigating Xiao Miao recently. You can go abroad without worry, leave this matter to me."

In reality, whether or not to leave the country didn't really matter to He Kao; he could return to Qiyuan in a flash. What truly shocked He Kao was Lao Qian's analysis of the subsequent developments of the incident.

Before leaving, He Kao said sincerely, "Old Qian, thank you! Today has been a real lesson for me. There are still so many things I don't understand, things I haven't considered, and things I need to learn!"

Qian Guran smiled bitterly and said, "Disciples of the sect rely not only on magic, but also on worldly affairs. They should not use magic lightly. Most of the time, they still use the Heaven Ladder Technique, the Game Technique, the Threshold Technique and other methods. The magic skills are just a foundation.

I am already a fourth-rank yamen runner of the Wangqi Gate. In the final analysis, the art of Wangqi is about seeing people's hearts. In fact, I have to see, and I am often trapped and annoyed by it.

You just haven’t interacted with so many people yet, but you are eager to learn and you learn quickly! ”
