Chapter 935 Delusion

As soon as the dishes were served, Deng Yaohui pushed the door open and walked in, saying with a smile, "Sorry, sorry... I was just pestered by a client and it took me some time to get out of this situation."

Among all the people present, Deng Yaohui was the host and the others were guests. The host was late and had to say a few polite words, and the guests naturally had to follow suit. However, Deng Kai was Deng Yaohui's younger brother, so he naturally didn't have to be polite. Meng Zhe was arrogant and never said anything polite. Gu Hao was a tight-lipped person who would not say anything if he could. Helplessly, Song Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Deng is too polite. It is our honor that you can take time out of your busy schedule to have lunch with us. Besides, we should be the ones to say sorry. We already troubled you last night, and you still have to bother you today."

Deng Yaohui waved his hands and said, "I said, you are Xiaokai's friends and you are my friends... I am not being polite when I say this. My younger brother has been spoiled since he was a child and doesn't know the depth of human nature. Nine out of ten of his friends in the past were just trying to take advantage of him and never regarded him as a real friend. He himself is actually very clear about this. But you are fundamentally different from those people. I have some understanding of your abilities, and the most important thing is that Xiaokai has become much more reliable in his conduct and work since he has been with you. I am very pleased with this alone."

Deng Kai was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Look at what you said... I feel a little embarrassed."

In fact, Song Jiang couldn't figure out what Deng Yaohui's purpose was in having this meal with them. Logically speaking, if Deng Yaohui really had something to say, he could have just passed it on through Deng Kai. There was no need for him to personally contact them, unless... there was something that even Deng Kai couldn't know. Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Deng Yaohui suddenly found a seemingly reasonable excuse to send Deng Kai away. The remaining three people were not fools, and they understood that what Deng Yaohui said next should be the highlight.

Deng Yaohui raised his glass and said, "I'd like to toast the three of you. Thank you for taking care of Xiaokai all the time."

The three of them raised their glasses after hearing this, and Song Jiang said at the right time, "I'm really ashamed. We should have toasted you first. How can we let General Deng toast us?"

Deng Yaohui smiled, drank the wine in his glass, and then smiled and said, "To be honest, I have something I want to ask of you today."

At first, Song Jiang thought he was going to talk about Deng Kai, but Deng Yaohui suddenly changed the subject and said, "I guess everyone knows everything about Xiao Kai and I, right?"

Song Jiang didn't know how to respond to this for a moment, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Deng?"

Deng Yaohui glanced at Song Jiang and said with a smile, "You know what kind of personality Xiaokai has. If he really didn't know the truth of this matter, he wouldn't appreciate my kindness, let alone show weakness... How could we be so friendly and harmonious like we are now?"

Song Jiang didn't expect Deng Yaohui to bring up this matter on his own initiative. He was somewhat surprised and asked, "Boss Deng, you really confused me? What do you mean by saying this?"

Deng Yaohui still smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you. In fact, I can get to where I am today... all thanks to a friend of mine. And this friend of mine has no other wishes in his life, but just wants to get a real dragon bone bracelet."

  Song Jiang heard that it was because of this matter. What he couldn't understand was that Deng Yaohui would reveal his secret in front of them because of a dragon bone bracelet that he didn't know whether it was real or fake?! He really didn't know whether his friend was too important to him? Or was the thing that his friend wanted to find more important?!

Meng Zhe, who had been silent, looked up at Deng Yaohui and said, "Mr. Deng wants us to take pictures of the dragon bone bracelet we took yesterday?"

Deng Yaohui smiled and said, "I remember that Mr. Meng saw at a glance that the bracelet I spent 500 million to buy was fake, so I am very sure that the dragon bone bracelet you won this time should be real... If Mr. Meng is willing to part with it, I am willing to pay ten times the price to get it back, how about it?" Song Jiang was shocked when he heard that Deng Yaohui was so arrogant. Unfortunately, he had hit a wall this time, because Meng Zhe would never give up something he was determined to get for money...

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe said slowly at this time, "Mr. Deng, I wonder if I can meet the friend you mentioned? I am curious why he is looking for the dragon bone bracelet. If we have a good talk, I will give the bracelet to Mr. Deng's friend."

Deng Yaohui pondered for a few seconds and said, "Of course... but I must ask for his consent beforehand." He went out to call his friend. Song Jiang took the opportunity to whisper, "Hey? This is not like your usual style?"

Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "Helping Deng Yaohui change his fate and taking over another body to be reborn are nothing. I just treat him as a cultivator with some skills... But it is unreasonable for him to want to get the dragon bone, because there is only one use for mortals to have this thing, and that is to dream of becoming an immortal."

Song Jiang was shocked when he heard this, "Becoming an immortal? Are you kidding?"

Meng Zhe looked at Gu Hao and said, "What do you think..."

After hearing this, Gu Hao put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "It depends on the situation... This possibility is very high. It is more difficult for mortals to become immortals than to ascend to heaven, especially in this day and age. However, once an obsession is formed, it is difficult to eliminate it. Once the cultivation of immortality fails, it is bound to become a demon, which is the legendary human demon."

When Song Jiang heard what Gu Hao said, his expression immediately became a little strange. He thought to himself, isn't the human demon right in front of him? He can see how powerful the human demon is...

Seeing this, Gu Hao immediately understood what Song Jiang meant, so he said unhappily, "I'm not a demon, okay? It must be someone from the underworld who told you that I'm a demon, right? You guys, rats in the gutter...if you can't catch me, you can just put the blame on me! There's a big difference between me and a real demon, you know that!?"

At this time, Meng Zhe nodded and said, "I know... So I didn't really intend to take you back to the underworld from the beginning."

Seeing that Gu Hao was a little angry, Song Jiang quickly asked, "What kind of harm can a real human demon do?"

Gu Hao sighed and explained to Song Jiang earnestly, "Real demons will do anything to become immortals... They often use living people as sacrifices. Many man-made disasters have occurred in history, all caused by demons wanting to become immortals. They will sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of people at a special time and place, but on the surface it looks like an ordinary accident."
