Chapter 696 Thank you, Brother De!
Inside Chen Houde's ward!
Kim Jong-woo was wearing a hospital gown, his face was pale, and he sat on a chair with a wilt.
"Can you say it now?" Chen Houde lay on the hospital bed, staring directly at Kim Jong-woo. Suo Ze and Suo Chuan left, Chen Houde planned to pack up his things and go home vigorously, but he didn't expect this Kim Jongwoo to suddenly "visit".
"What do you want to hear?" Kim Jong-woo glanced at Dali, who was resting with his eyes closed in another hospital bed, and asked Chen Houde rhetorically.
"What you say, I hear, and whether you believe it or not is my business. Chen Houde replied in a deep voice.
"I was indeed sent by the King of the Northeast to protect you. Kim Jong-woo hesitated for a moment and said frankly.
"Go on!" Chen Houde was not surprised.
"The order I received at that time was indeed to kill you, as for why the King of the Northeast changed his original intention to let me protect you, I don't know, but I guess he reached some kind of agreement with the Li family, so he changed his mind and asked me to protect you, and once the purpose of the King of the Northeast is achieved, it will be your death, and I am the one who did it. Kim Jong-woo did not hide it and told the story.
"Is it the King of the Northeast who asked you to approach me?" Chen Houde frowned and asked. Chen Houde chose to believe Kim Jong-woo's words, and at the same time he was puzzled, wondering why the King of Northeast China had suddenly changed his role and let Kim Jong-woo protect him? But Li Shihai wanted to kill himself, killing one side and protecting the other, this was a "gamble" with his own life and death, but what was this "bargaining chip"?
"It was I who approached you on my own initiative, because this way I could better protect you, and for this I was ...... Wan Henian nodded with words. As for the experience I told you before, it was all true, including that I wanted to be a human being, not a dog. Kim Jong-woo looked directly at Chen Houde, his tone was very flat, and even said with a hint of indifference.
"Be a person?" Chen Houde looked at Kim Jong-woo with interest, and then asked, "So you have selfish intentions to approach me?"
"When I approached you, I didn't have a trace after you saw through that I was the king of the Northeast, but at that time, the purpose was just to win your trust, or I just wanted to stay and protect you. Kim Jong-woo said without hesitation.
"And now?"
"I've been in contact with you for so long, and now "selfishness" is sprouting and taking root like a seed, and you have made me see the hope of being a human being. Kim Jong-woo said truthfully.
"It's the first time I've heard betrayal so fresh and refined. Chen Houde said very disdainfully.
"Where did the betrayal come from? In my opinion, the Northeast King and I are nothing more than a cooperative relationship, but this cooperation is very humble. He saved my life, which is undeniable, and although he was not kind-hearted at the time, I will always remember the grace of saving my life. Kim Jong-woo said with a sincere face.
"Cooperation, then what does he give you, and what do you give him in return?" Chen Houde asked curiously.
"Give me a leftover meal, a tile to cover my head, and I will be a shadow for him, protect him, and help him eradicate certain people, such as you, if necessary. Kim Jong Woo looked sideways at the window at the heavy snow that had fallen at some point, and continued: "This is what I think of as cooperation, and I have always done it, but he gave me a leftover meal and a tile to cover my head, but he made me loyal to him for the rest of my life! This is to raise me as a dog!"
"With your skills and abilities, why didn't he take you under his command, but let you be a shadow of the shadow?" Chen Houde thought for a while and continued to ask.
"Actually, this question of yours has always been what I want to ask him, and at the same time it is my hope, I have always thought that I have not done well enough, and the time has not come, until I overheard the account book, I did not fully understand. It's not that I'm not good enough, and it's not that the time hasn't come, but the king of the Northeast doesn't have this idea at all, what he wants is not a soldier who serves under his command, but a loyal dog, a dog who knows how to repay his kindness. Kim Jong-woo's tone was full of helplessness, and there was a hint of sadness with him.
"Why? His family has a big business and saved your life, shouldn't he be more thirsty for talent?" Chen Houde looked at Kim Zhengyu in confusion.
"Because he has reached the top in the three northeastern provinces, he doesn't need me to do dirty work, he wants to start whitewashing, I think I'm dirty, I don't know where to put me, plus the account books, he is eager to march into the south to launder, so he wants me to be a dog, if it is the king of the Northeast in the development period, I believe that I have already become a general under his command, which can only blame me for the wrong timing of my appearance. Kim Jong-woo said all the speculation in his heart.
"Well, that sounds reasonable. Chen Houde nodded, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"I've dragged you out, and you'll have to ask yourself what to do with me. Kim Jong-woo replied.
"So you're lazy with me?" asked Chen Houde with a toothache. Regarding the disposal of Kim Jong-woo, Chen Houde really didn't think about this problem, let alone keep him by his side.
"It's not that you're lazy, it's that you don't have a choice, if I leave your side, what do you think the King of the Northeast will think? I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's not the Li family who wants your life, and even the King of the Northeast may turn his gun against you." Kim Jong-woo said with a little schadenfreude.
", am I being cocooned?" Chen Houde was stunned.
"If I stay by your side, I can still stabilize the King of the Northeast, you only need to face the assassination of the Li family, but as soon as I leave your side, I don't know what the King of the Northeast thinks. By the way, you can kill me, but even that won't help. Kim Jong-woo shrugged his shoulders and looked very single.
"......" Chen Houde fell silent instantly, and his face began to be cloudy.
Half a day has passed!
Chen Houde suddenly raised his head and asked, "Can I trust you?"
"Do you treat me as a human being?" Kim Jong-woo was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"I don't even know if I'm human. Chen Houde gritted his teeth and replied.
"I believe this!" Kim Jong-woo nodded, and then the corners of his mouth rose rarely, and he said: "Believe it or not depends entirely on you." ”
"Damn, it's up to me to see you as a human being. Chen Houde rolled his eyes, and then said: "I don't know if I treat you as a human being, but I helped you solve the matter of your black account, and it won't be long before you can settle in Chenjiazhuang, and you will be able to touch the sunshine and enjoy the warmth brought by the sunshine in the future." ”
Kim Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Houde deeply, then lowered his head, and after being silent for a long time, he said two words that he had never said since he stepped into China: "Thank you!"
"Damn, who are you thanking?" asked Chen Houde angrily.
"Thank you, Brother De!" Kim Jong-woo smiled like a fool.
"You're welcome!" Chen Houde replied quite seriously.
"Be a good man, don't think about being a dog anymore. Dali didn't know when, he was already lying at the head of the bed, opened his eyes, looked at Kim Jongwoo with an indifferent face, and suddenly said such a very meaningful sentence.
"I will!" Kim Jong-woo met the indifferent eyes of the strong and nodded heavily.
……
"Go home!" After Chen Houde finished chatting with Kim Zhengyu, he sent him back to the ward to recuperate from his injuries, and then said a word to Dali's teeth.
