Chapter 406 Disagreement? Acting?

"Has it come to this?"

Ouyang Fu couldn't help but say: "Although we seem to be surrounded by enemies, these people's goals are not the same."

"I don't think it's likely that they will unite to deal with us."

Hearing this, Ximen Zhuang said lightly: "Don't forget, there is also a [Nightmare]."

Hearing this word, everyone's brows frowned at the same time.

Ximen Zhuang said solemnly: "We have cooperated with [Nightmare], otherwise we wouldn't have created the mutants we have now."

"But now, who of you has seen the true identity of [Nightmare]?"

"Do you think it won't be hostile to us?"

Ximen Zhuang glanced at several people and continued: "[Nightmare] is a double-edged sword. While we are using it, it is also using us."

"What will it do when it no longer needs us one day?"

After that, everyone in the room fell silent without saying a word.

Su Jiang's heart moved. He originally thought that only the Ximen family had dealings with [Nightmare].

But now it seems that the four major families are in collusion with [Nightmare]?

The two sides should be in a mutually beneficial relationship, but I don't know what [Nightmare] got from the four great families.

"Brother Mu."

Ximen Zhuang looked at Mu Rou and whispered, "Please keep the things we talked about today confidential."

Su Jiang looked up at him and said, "Don't worry, I cherish my life and I'm not interested in these things."

At this time, Shangguan Jian thought about it and said, "It's okay to encircle and suppress the Gao family, but there may be variables in this process, so we have to plan carefully."

"I have to go home and talk to my father."

Ximen Zhuang nodded, then looked at Ouyang Fu.

Ouyang Fu slowly uttered two words: "Okay."

"Okay, then the matter of encircling and suppressing the Gao family is decided."

Ximen Zhuang paused, and then said, "How to implement it specifically, we will discuss it with Gongsun later and come up with a plan."

Su Jiang blinked, what's the matter?

Want to discuss it secretly behind my back?

Is there anything that I, the first doctor of the Ximen family, can't listen to?

"The last thing is about [Nightmare]."

Ximen Zhuang's eyes were solemn, and he said word by word: "We can't continue to trade with [Nightmare]."

The eyes of Ouyang Fu and others changed instantly, and Ouyang Fu said lightly: "Old Zhuang, what do you mean by this?"

"I'm not kidding." Ximen Zhuang said seriously: "It is true that we get a lot of benefits from [Nightmare], but [Nightmare] gets more from us."

"Moreover, from the beginning to the end, we don't know what [Nightmare] wants those things for."

"This feeling of uneasiness makes me feel more and more that we can't continue like this."

Ouyang Fu also said in a low voice: "Old Zhuang, you and I know what we can get from the research of that thing to the end, and you want me to give up now?"

Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe were confused, and they didn't understand what the two were talking about.

"Uncle Ouyang, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

Shangguan Jian said with a wry smile: "Can you explain it more clearly? What kind of research is it? What can we get?"

"Yes, Dad, I don't quite understand it either." Ouyang Mingzhe agreed.

Ouyang Fu glanced at the two of them and said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with you two. You don't need to know too much about these things."

He didn't expect that Ximenzhuang would actually bring up this matter in front of these two young people.

This is a secret that only the four heads of the family know.

It's about...eternal life.

"Ouyang, do you really think we can get something that only exists in fantasy?"

Ximen Zhuang advised earnestly: "Listen to me, stop it, so as not to cause a disaster."

"Impossible, old man Zhuang, everything else can be discussed, but this one is not possible."

Ouyang Fu stood up, his face a little gloomy and said: "Not only me, even if Shangguan and Gongsun were here, they would not agree."

"Because that is our last chance."

Ximen Zhuang stood up and stared at Ouyang Fu's eyes, and the two of them just confronted each other.

After a long time, Ximen Zhuang sighed deeply.

"Alas, forget it, in this case, let's talk about this later."

Ouyang Fu still had a cold face, completely without the gentle attitude before.

"If there is nothing else, let's end today's meeting here."

Ouyang Fu walked directly out the door. Ximen Zhuang's last proposal directly touched his bottom line.

Seeing this, Ximen Zhuang wanted to speak to keep him, but he opened his mouth and closed it again.

Su Jiang watched this scene quietly. Did they have a disagreement?

No, these two old men are both smart. How could they quarrel like children over a single word?

But if it was a play, who was it for?

Wei Liangping or me?

Or maybe...

Su Jiang turned his eyes to Shangguan Jian and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Is it possible that this meeting was only about the first two things?

And the third thing was a play that Ximen Zhuang and Ouyang Fu deliberately put on in front of Shangguan Jian?

Of course, this is just speculation. No matter which case it is, it can be basically confirmed that there are disagreements between the four major families.

"Uncle Ximen, I'm so sorry. My father has been in a bad mood recently. I'm sorry for offending you."

Ouyang Mingzhe stayed and apologized to Ximen Zhuang.

Ximen Zhuang waved his hand: "It's okay. His reaction is within my expectations."

"Uncle Ximen, what did you just say?" Shangguan Jian asked with some reluctance.

Ximen Zhuang glanced at him and said, "It's not time for you to know this."

"When you go back, tell your father everything that happened in today's meeting, understand?"

Shangguan Jian wanted to continue asking, but he took the words back and nodded, "I know, Uncle Ximen."

"Okay, that's it for today. I have something else to do later, so I won't keep you two little guys for dinner."

Ximen Zhuang regained his amiable smile and said to Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe, "You two don't want to have dinner with an old man like me, do you?"

"How could it be, Uncle Ximen? We couldn't ask for it." Shangguan Jian laughed.

"You are the only one who knows how to flatter. Go back quickly. Your father is still waiting for your news." Ximen Zhuang laughed and scolded.

Su Jiang got up and followed everyone out, and then sent Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe to the door together.

After being polite to each other, Shangguan Jian and Ouyang Mingzhe left together.

Su Jiang returned to the hall of Ximen's house with Ximen Zhuang, and Wei Liangping followed.
