Chen Fusheng burst into laughter. "Is that true?"
I said, "If you believe it, then it's true. If you don't, then it's false."
Chen Fusheng patted my shoulder again and said, "You had so many chances to escape, but you didn't. This proves that you are worthy of my trust."
I shook my head and said, "Mr. Chen, don't mention the word trust in front of me again. I don't believe it exists anymore!
I don't even know how to write it now. "
Chen Fusheng said, "Maybe you don't know my style. I don't trust people easily, and I don't trust people too much.
I only trust myself.
But your performance makes me have to believe that sometimes, these two words can still be true!
Zhao Long, don't think that I scheme against everyone. I admit that I did it to you, but it was because I had no choice.
I came here this time to have a good talk with you. Actually, I'm very conflicted. I didn't sleep last night because I was thinking about your matter.
To be honest, your matter touched my bottom line. Gathering the core members in the middle of the night is a very, very sensitive thing to do.
No core member in Tianlong Company would dare to do this.
Because I've suffered losses before! "
I asked in return, "What losses have you suffered that made you so wary of your core members?"
Chen Fusheng said, "You only need to know that I've suffered losses before!
If it weren't for my carelessness, which led to many core members rebelling, the Tianlong Company and the elite team today would have developed even more.
At that time, I discovered the signs and blindly believed in the core members and tolerated them. That was why I was passive and caused a lot of trauma and loss to the company.
Because of that, I have a principle. Anyone who secretly instigates the core members to do something is like you. First, they reflect on their actions, and then directly … "
I interrupted Chen Fusheng. "Kill them?"
Chen Fusheng said, "It's too scary to say 'kill', but the meaning is about the same.
If you want to have a foothold in society, you have to be ruthless!
Just like how Zhuge Liang shed tears and beheaded Ma Su. "
I was surprised. "So, I'm going to end up like Ma Su?"
Chen Fusheng was silent for a while. Then, he looked at me and said, "It's not the same.
In my opinion, you are much more important to me than Ma Su is to Shu! "
I began to ponder. Could it be that Chen Fusheng found his conscience and decided not to pursue the matter?
But when he thought about it again, it seemed to be somewhat difficult.
Chen Fusheng continued, "To tell you the truth, when I found out that you were gathering the core members in the middle of the night, I was very angry. I even wanted to order someone to kill you!
But I didn't do it because I was afraid I would regret it.
After bringing you here, many people tried their best to protect you. The four military instructors, no, to be exact, the three military instructors tried their best to protect you. "
I cut him off. "Are you saying that Li Shutian will protect me too?"
Chen Fusheng said, "You also saw it that day, Li Shutian was speaking for you!
And Qiao Ling, she's your junior sister, so there's no need to talk about her.
What made me hesitate was that even Mei Mei pleaded for you!
You have won the hearts of the people in the Tianlong Company! "
I shook my head hard and said, "Impossible, impossible!
I don't believe that Li Shutian would protect me!
He wants to kill me! "
Chen Fusheng said, "You don't understand Instructor Li.
He's a very aggressive person, but sometimes he's very principled. He separates public from private matters, and that's what makes him so outstanding.
If he can protect someone, it means that this person is very capable. "
I snorted. "He's a weasel paying a visit to a chicken. He doesn't have good intentions!
But, why would Mr. Chen let me know about this? "
Chen Fusheng said, "I don't like to hide anything!
I never liked it!
I won't hide it from you. In order to protect my own rules and to prevent myself from going back on my words, I really do want to kill you! "
I was suddenly stunned!
But Chen Fusheng said in a roundabout way, "But I still can't make up my mind!
I deliberately tested you and gave you two chances, but you didn't run away. "
I corrected him. "It's four times!
Mr. Chen. "
Chen Fusheng smiled. "Four times it is!
That's not important. What's important is that you didn't run away.
If you really did run away, then you're really done for!
I can only bear the pain and give up a general!
But I'm very happy that you didn't, you didn't disappoint me!
This proves that you're still loyal to me, Chen Fusheng! "
I thought to myself in shock. According to what Chen Fusheng said, could it be that Sister Mei's arrival was also planned by Chen Fusheng?
However, the fact that he had planned such a test seemed somewhat comical, even laughable.
Maybe this was a way out?
I felt that this was Chen Fusheng finding a way out for himself.
To some extent, Chen Fusheng didn't want to lose me!
While I was guessing the answer, Chen Fusheng opened his mouth again. "I've always believed in killing a thousand by mistake and not letting anyone go.
But I'm an exception for you! "
I probed, "Mr. Chen, have you killed a lot of people?"
Chen Fusheng calmed down and put out the cigarette in his hand. He corrected me. "Wrong!
I haven't killed anyone. I've killed someone else! "
I sweated.
But I didn't dare to let my face break out in a cold sweat. But I was sweating in my heart.
This executioner, what level has he reached in killing people?
I didn't say anything. I just smiled faintly to hide the anger in my heart.
Chen Fusheng's expression softened. "Actually, I already checked last night. Just as you said, you've been cleared of suspicion!
Because I arranged for people to meet with the core members and sound them out, they agreed with me.
What they said is the same as what you said. You are indeed not prepared to do anything to betray me, Chen Fusheng. It's me, I was overthinking it! "
When he said that, a spark ignited in my heart.
Was it a blessing from the heavens?
I felt that it wasn't that simple.
Chen Fusheng looked at me and said again, "It's not a pity to kill a thousand by mistake, but it's a big loss to kill you by mistake!
Haha! "
I smiled and probed, "Then, then where are the core members of the Wangjing Brigade?"
Chen Fusheng stammered for a moment and said, "They, they, they have already been secretly sent back!
Of course, I won't let them know that this kidnapping was carried out by the Tianlong Company.
That way, it will be a mess, a mess! "
I said, "Mr. Chen, you're really smart!"
Chen Fusheng said, "Not smart, not smart!
Not smart at all!
Now that I've said this, you should understand a lot of things, right? "
I was stunned and asked in return, "Understand what?"
Chen Fusheng frowned and pointed at me with a smile. "You're pretending!
You're pretending!
Alright, then let me tell you! "
The Chen Fusheng in front of me seemed to be very amiable.
His amiability was a little unfamiliar, and I couldn't understand it.
He held a cigarette in his mouth and patted my shoulder lightly. "Let's put it this way. Now, Zhao Long, your position in the Tianlong Company is below mine!
You have prestige and a certain sphere of influence. I just want to add flowers to your brocade, and I don't want to do anything more. "
He didn't continue speaking. I looked at him as if I was trying to guess a riddle, but he didn't say anything.
It was tiring to talk to a mysterious person like Chen Fusheng.
He always liked to leave half a sentence unfinished and make people guess riddles.
Just as I was hesitating, Chen Fusheng suddenly took two steps back and stood still for a moment. Then, he bent his body and bowed lightly to me.
I was stunned.
Straightening his body, Chen Fusheng touched the buttons on his jacket and said, "Take it as my apology to you for making you suffer!"
I said in shock, "Mr. Chen, you don't have to joke like this, right?"
Chen Fusheng said, "Since the incident with you, I've decided that I won't do anything that won't win the hearts of the people.
I didn't expect that so many people would plead for you.
If I had dealt with you, I would have lost the hearts of the people, and even caused them to be in danger.
I now understand that I'm digging my own grave.
Starting with you, I'm going to change my rules. "
I probed, "You'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one person go?"
Chen Fusheng smiled awkwardly. "Of course, it's not all because of that.
I don't think it's a pity to kill a thousand by mistake, but I can't bear to kill you by mistake. "
I didn't say anything else and held a cigarette in my mouth. My heart was boiling.
I didn't know why Chen Fusheng suddenly did this.
If what he said was true, then it seemed that I was quite popular in Tianlong Company. The instructors and even Sister Mei were pleading for me.
Could it be that this was another trap?
I took a deep breath and suddenly felt a slight stench coming from my body. Even if I hadn't bathed for a day, it shouldn't be like this, right?
I smiled bitterly and said to Chen Fusheng, "I want to take a bath."
Chen Fusheng stared blankly for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Yes, of course!
Where do you want to take a bath, Senwei or Asia International? "
Senwei and Asia International were the leaders of the bathing industry in Beijing. Their bathing services were very good and guaranteed that customers would experience a heavenly experience.
I shook my head and didn't answer.
Chen Fusheng smiled. "Then go back to Wangjing!
Your car is in the parking lot. You can go back to Wangjing now! "
I wasn't used to him suddenly treating me like this.
I asked tentatively, "Just go back like this?"
Chen Fusheng thought for a bit and said, "Easy!
I'll find someone to arrange it for you!
You, you come with me first. We, we'll go back to the company's headquarters. "
I asked, "Isn't this the company's headquarters?"
Chen Fusheng shook his head. "It's definitely not.
This is … this is also my underground office.
You'll know in the future! "
"Oh," I said in disbelief. "I'm liberated? Free?
Thank you, Mr Chen, thank you for not killing me! "
Chen Fusheng frowned slightly. "You're being ironic!
Let's go, I have an important task for you! "
I was stunned.
At the same time, I suddenly understood. No wonder Chen Fusheng wanted to let me go so easily. It was to arrange a task for me!
