I didn't understand what Li Shutian meant, but one thing was for sure: he was speaking up for me!
He would speak up for me?
While I was puzzled, Sister Mei echoed Li Shutian's words and said, "Fusheng, you're too sensitive!
Are you sure you didn't wrongly accuse a good person? "
I was even more stunned.
Sister Mei was obviously speaking up for me.
But I really didn't understand what Chen Fusheng had wrongly accused me of.
Thinking back to today's experience, I finally frowned as if I had suddenly realized something.
Before I could continue to analyze and judge the current situation in my mind, Chen Fusheng interrupted Sister Mei and said with slight displeasure, "Then who can explain the situation to me tonight?"
Sister Mei and Li Shutian looked at each other but didn't say anything.
Chen Fusheng continued to look at me and sighed softly, "You're the first person who dared to set me up!
But I didn't give you a chance! "
I frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, I really don't understand what you're talking about.
Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to set you up!
You surprised and shocked me today. I really don't know what I did wrong. "
Chen Fusheng held his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "There's no harm in telling you!
Although you're in Wangjing and far away from the headquarters, your every move is under my control.
You don't need to hide anything. That would make me look down on you.
I originally thought that you joining the Tianlong Company and coming into contact with the organization would be the icing on the cake, but I didn't expect that it would be just the icing on the cake.
You know, I'm a very cautious person. After I revealed those secrets to you, I've been paying close attention to your whereabouts. I thought I had at least a 90% chance of attracting you to join.
But I was wrong. Not only did you not want to work with me, but you also gathered the backbone of the entire Wangjing Brigade and plotted in the middle of the night. Did you want to cause trouble, or did you want to collectively join the enemy? "
I was stunned on the spot and finally understood the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Chen Fusheng misunderstood me!
He was both gratified and pleasantly surprised.
The cold sweat in my heart seemed to have been blown away by a gust of wind!
But after the false alarm, it was still difficult to dispel his worries.
I hurriedly explained to Chen Fusheng, "Mr. Chen, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!
I gathered the core members and, yes, yes, I had a small meeting, a small meeting! "
Chen Fusheng snorted coldly and said, "Is that so, Zhao Long?
Was there a need to hold a meeting secretly in the middle of the night?
If you're not plotting something, what other reasonable explanation is there? "
His judgment was not without reason.
It was very logical.
If it were me and my subordinates secretly gathered together in the middle of the night, I would definitely think the same.
But as far as I'm concerned, Chen Fusheng really misunderstood me!
I smiled bitterly. "Is that why Mr. Chen sent so many elite soldiers to capture me?"
Chen Fusheng laughed and said, "To annihilate traitors, of course we have to send elite troops.
If I let your conspiracy succeed, it will be the greatest humiliation of my life.
I won't allow myself to make a single wrong move.
Zhao Long, I've told you before that I've always trusted you, but I usually strengthen my control over the people I trust. You can't hide your every move from me! "
I shook my head vigorously and said, "Mr. Chen, you, you're too much. I admit, you're very scheming, and you're very decisive in your actions.
But have you ever thought that your judgment can sometimes be wrong? "
Chen Fusheng frowned slightly. "Oh?
My judgment is wrong?
Don't tell me that you gathered the core members in the middle of the night to have a midnight snack?
I know that you might be disgusted and unable to accept some things about the organization.
I can understand this, after all, you used to be a general of the Secret Service.
I didn't force you, I just wanted you to think about it and give me a reply.
But you, you disappointed me. You actually gathered the core members for internal strife!
Do you know that this is the most intolerable thing for me?! "
I sighed helplessly. I didn't know why Chen Fusheng was so sure that I was instigating internal strife and inciting a rebellion.
Was Chen Fusheng making a big fuss out of nothing?
Was he being too cautious, or was he testing me?
I still felt a lingering fear when I recalled the scene in the courtyard where I was surrounded by nearly a hundred gunmen.
I wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, but this kind of world was too precious.
Maybe it wasn't a treasure, but it was enough for me to reflect on my life.
I sorted out my thoughts and said to Chen Fusheng, "Mr. Chen, if that's the case, I might as well tell you the truth!"
Chen Fusheng smiled and took a deep drag of his cigarette. "What truth?"
I said emotionally, "I gathered the core members for a meeting tonight. The truth.
Actually, how should I say it? I remember I told you before that when I was in Huatai, I made a very special friend called Ayong.
When Huatai Security Company was hunting me down, Ah Yong helped me a lot, a lot.
But later, we lost contact. I always suspected that Fu Shikun was the one who killed him, but I didn't have any evidence.
Until tonight, when I went to Dazzle Cool to play, I accidentally heard about Ayong's whereabouts. He became a cripple!
I wasn't sure if this Ah Yong was my friend or not, but from my conscience, I felt guilty. I swore that I had to find Ah Yong as soon as possible. Only then could I feel at ease and atone for my sins.
So, after returning to the brigade, I immediately gathered the core members and asked them to help me find Ayong. Maybe I was too anxious and restless, so I gathered the core members in the middle of the night and caused you to misunderstand. "
Chen Fusheng was a little surprised, but he still used the jade ring on his middle finger to knock on the table a few times. He seemed to be analyzing how much of what I said was true.
Li Shutian and Sister Mei looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths curled into a faint smile.
I could feel that this smile wasn't sarcastic.
It was gratification, or a blessing.
Chen Fusheng kept silent. His expression was calm, but there seemed to be a raging fire hidden under that calmness.
This was a strange man that I couldn't understand. Until today, I only knew a little about him.
His style of doing things wasn't methodical or conventional.
I explained, "Mr. Chen, you're thinking too much. I really didn't mean anything else.
I gathered the core members for a meeting tonight because of this matter.
If you don't believe me, you can ask the other core members.
Oh, right, dozens of core members were brought here. They were all brought here!
Mr. Chen, I think, I think you're making a big fuss over nothing today! "I forced a smile and stared at Chen Fusheng's face.
Chen Fusheng asked in return, "I'm making a big fuss over nothing?"
I answered with a smile.
Chen Fusheng pursed his lips and said, "Your explanation is somewhat reasonable.
However, I don't believe it completely. "
I was stunned. "Mr. Chen, you keep saying that you believe me. Are you just trying to trick me?" In a moment of desperation, I actually used the word 'trick'. I was too emotional!
Chen Fusheng turned to look at Li Shutian and asked, "Instructor Li, what do you think?"
Li Shutian shook his head slightly. "It's too complicated!
Mr. Chen, I don't mind telling you that I don't like this captain in front of me, Zhao Long!
From the moment you put him in an important position, I was against it.
I don't like this person, but for the sake of Tianlong Company, I don't mind putting aside my personal grudges for the time being. I don't think Zhao Long has the guts to go against you.
He's too inexperienced. He can't fly! "
Chen Fusheng sneered. "He can't fly?
Do you think he's flying a plane? "
Li Shutian's face slightly changed. He smiled and said, "It's flying.
Mr. Chen, you've always said that I'm good at reading people. This Zhao Long definitely doesn't have the guts to rebel.
Did you forget that when he was in Huatai Company, he didn't have the intention to rebel even when Fu Shikun treated him like that?
According to his prestige in Huatai, it's easy for him to mobilize the entire squadron to rebel.
I admit that this kid is an expert in management. He can make hundreds or thousands of people follow him.
He has a certain amount of ability, but he's very loyal to his master. You offered him such a high condition to rope him in, but what happened in the end?
If it weren't for Fu Shikun's change in attitude, I wouldn't have been able to use him.
Moreover, Mr. Chen, you've been so good to him, so it's even more impossible for him to rebel. He's a smart person. He knows that rebellion will only lead to death. "
Li Shutian's words sounded a bit messy, but he was helping me.
This obviously didn't conform to Li Shutian's usual behavior.
Chen Fusheng glanced at Li Shutian from the corner of his eyes and smiled indifferently. "What nonsense!
Li Shutian, I realized that you and Zhao Long don't get along well. Why? Do you guys usually fight each other just to put on a show for me? "
Li Shutian and I were both shocked.
Li Shutian quickly said, "Mr. Chen, that's that. Public and private are private.
I've always separated public and private matters. You know that! "
However, Li Shutian's analysis didn't get Chen Fusheng's approval.
Chen Fusheng's face darkened. He said in a low voice, "I'd rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go!
This is Chen Fusheng's principle! "
Rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go?
Why did this sentence sound so familiar?
I clearly remember that Chen Fusheng described the Holy Phoenix in the same way!
It's over, it's over!
It seems that Chen Fusheng has made up his mind to kill me!
In other words, he still suspects me and sees me as a hidden danger. He'd rather get rid of me than let me continue to be a stone in his heart.
I deeply understood the true meaning of the phrase, "Accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger."
If Chen Fusheng saw through my identity and wanted to punish me, it would be perfectly justified.
However, if he blamed me or even killed me because I gathered the core members for a meeting in the middle of the night, it would be too unfair!
His paranoia was like a knife!
The ever-changing situation had once again placed me in great danger.
I even made plans to fight to the death.
I can't die, I can't die!
I can't be wrongly killed!
It's not worth it!
