The office door was pushed open.
Xu Lingshan saw a man sitting in the guest's seat, with black tea and refreshments in front of him.
"You are —" Xu Lingshan saw the man's face clearly, and revealed a surprised expression, "You are Zhou Heng!"
"It's me." Zhou Heng's expression was also a little surprised. He had thought that Andrea would bring Ding Ling here, but he did not expect that the person Andrea would bring was Xu Lingshan. He said, "Are you that policewoman from before?"
Andrea stood behind Xu Lingshan, the guard retreated and closed the door to the office.
When Xu Lingshan saw Zhou Heng, her expression did not ease up. She stared at Zhou Heng without saying a word, and suddenly spat towards him.
Zhou Heng tilted his head slightly and dodged it.
Xu Lingshan's saliva landed on the table behind Zhou Heng. Andrea frowned, this was his table.
"I was right," Xu Lingshan roared at Zhou Heng, "I knew you weren't a good person!" She treated Zhou Heng as one of the people who sold people. But it was no wonder that she misunderstood. Looking at Zhou Heng's current situation, it was really hard to believe that he was not related to this organization.
"I'm here to save him." Zhou Heng explained to himself calmly. He wasn't afraid that Xu Lingshan would misunderstand him, after all, this policewoman's misunderstandings towards him had never been solved before.
Just then, Andrea interrupted: "Mr. Zhou, is this your friend?" The two of them had already passed their lives to each other.
Zhou Heng was startled, he did not know how to reply. But what Andrea brought back was actually Xu Lingshan. It was impossible for Andrea to mix Ding Ling and Xu Lingshan together, so did Andrea know that he also knew Xu Lingshan? Zhou Heng's mind suddenly became a little chaotic.
But when he noticed Andrea's expression, all his doubts were easily solved.
Andrea was not prepared to hand Ding Ling over to her in the first place. He was only trying out Zhou Heng's true purpose. When Zhou Heng described Ding Ling's appearance to him, Andrea had already decided that she would randomly grab a Chinese woman to replace her. If Zhou Heng nodded and said "That's right, the one I want to find is her", then it would mean that Zhou Heng was not really here to save people, but had some other motive — — From the very beginning, Andrea had never believed Zhou Heng's words.
Zhou Heng was now standing right in front of him, and it was impossible for him not to save his, but Ding Ling was still in Andrea's hands. He hesitated.
When Andrea heard Xu Lingshan and Zhou Heng's conversation, although his expression did not change, he had an idea in his heart. He did not expect that the woman he brought out would actually know the other party, but on the contrary, it was a good thing for Andrea. He did not care that Zhou Heng was trapped in a dilemma, he just wanted to see how Zhou Heng would handle the situation in front of him and take this opportunity to examine Zhou Heng's background.
"I won't hide it from you," Zhou Heng said as he raised his head and looked at Andrea, "The person you brought along Mr. Andrea is indeed my friend." "No," he said.
Andrea smiled and nodded. Then, he said, "If it wasn't for your esteemed friend, I wouldn't have brought you over."
Zhou Heng revealed a wry smile and said respectfully: "What I mean is that she is indeed my friend, but the friend that I want to save is still in your prison. It's a bit awkward, I hope you can understand."
Andrea pretended to reveal an awkward expression: "Sir is saying that not only this, you also want to take another one away."
Zhou Heng nodded and admitted it generously: "Yes."
"Aren't there a bit too many friends?" Andrea laughed and said, "If you say that you're your friends when we meet everyone, then can't we just let all of them go?"
"In order to prevent this from happening," Zhou Heng said, "Since you can bring me along to recognize someone, I definitely won't admit my wrongs."
Hearing the two of them talking, Xu Lingshan's face gradually revealed a surprised expression.
Without waiting for Andrea to speak, Xu Lingshan immediately said to Zhou Heng: "Ding Ling is still trapped inside, she has a fever, I beg you, no, I beg you, please save her!"
Hearing Xu Lingshan's words, Zhou Heng nodded at her, indicating that he would definitely save Ding Ling.
But Andrea was unhappy. Originally, he was the one who gave Zhou Heng a difficult problem, but now, it had become Zhou Heng who had set a trap for him instead. If they were to bring him to find someone, wouldn't that mean that they had exposed the entire prison warehouse to Zhou Heng? If Zhou Heng had any thoughts that would harm the black tower, then Andrea had also provided too much information to Zhou Heng.
"Mr. Andrea," Zhou Heng said to Andrea, "You heard it too, I still have a friend with you, can you give it to me along with you?"
"Right!" Xu Lingshan added on at this time, "There are still a lot of innocent women that were imprisoned there."
"Shh!" Zhou Heng immediately gestured for Xu Lingshan to keep quiet. Zhou Heng understood that he could not take an inch when it came to getting what he wanted.
Sure enough, Andrea's face turned ugly: Mr. Zhou, your request is too much.
"I hope that Mr. Andrea will understand." With that, Zhou Heng stood up and dragged Xu Lingshan behind him. He could feel that the temperature around Andrea's body was rising. Although the temperature was intangible, with a basic fire type technique, Zhou Heng could still feel it.
Xu Lingshan, who was protected by Zhou Heng behind her, looked at Zhou Heng's back and his heart suddenly shook — Ever since Hao-ge died, she had become this strong of a character. She was always like a big sister who took care of the people around her, but she had never been protected by anyone.
She had almost forgotten the feeling of being carefully protected behind someone else's back.
"I don't want to go against you, Mr. Zhou," Andrea said gently after seeing Zhou Heng's actions, "I think we should be of the same kind of people and should respect each other. We should be civilized, not beastly, "he said. He was right, the black pagoda was not a cruel organization. Or rather, the black pagoda's brutal side would only show itself in front of mortals.
In the eyes of the Magi of the black tower, there were only two types of creatures in the world. One was the "lower level creatures", which included mortals. The other type was similar to Magi in terms of "high-level humans", and the Magi of the black tower respected these "high-level humans". Just as ethnic groups of different nationalities and nationalities maintain a minimum level of respect for each other.
To Andrea, asking him for a woman's help was the same as asking a stranger for a sheep or a dog. Occasionally it is harmless, but being too greedy can be annoying. Furthermore, the black tower was not in their homeland, but in their country. Before finding the dragon blood to cure the Magus King's illness, Magi had to be cautious.
Zhou Heng's request had already touched upon Andrea's bottom line.
