Chapter 82: The Gambler Cuckoo
Everyone present listened quietly to Mr. Du's announcement, although the nominees were all young people close to Mr. Du, but with the prestige and reputation of several people within the organization, there was no objection, and Mr. Du, who seemed to be mild-mannered, had a strong iron and bloody hand, so naturally no one wanted to touch this mold. The leaders and members of other organizations will not take the initiative to participate in it, and they all have the idea of watching the excitement.
After saying all this, Mr. Du said: "Is there anyone who has any objections to this?"
After a moment of silence, Mr. Du nodded and said, "Very good, since that's the case..."
"Mr. Du!" The cuckoo's voice sounded loudly, intending Mr. Du's words, and after the dazzling exit, the eyes of everyone present looked at the cuckoo in unison.
The cuckoo's face was a little pale, but it was serious but full of unwavering firmness.
Mr. Du looked at the cuckoo, and there was no expression of emotion in it.
The cuckoo swallowed a mouthful of scolding, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Du, I want to try it too..."
Quiet, the whole scene was filled with deathly silence, as if everyone was holding their breath. It was at this moment that the cuckoo completely exposed all his ambitions.
"Good. After a moment, Mr. Du just nodded and gently spat out a word.
Cuckoo's tight shoulders slackened, and she knew there was no turning back from now on.
"Does anyone else want this opportunity?" asked Mr. Du.
No one answered, not even some of his elite cadres who had no intention of coming forward, not that they did not covet the position of leader, but that they knew the strength of the four candidates and the consequences of the defeat in this struggle.
Tonight, at least three people are going to die.
Looking at the atmosphere of the scene, Hugo finally understood why Cuckoo did not tell him the plan to be executed, because at that moment, she was completely determined to participate in the whirlpool of this struggle, which was indeed a huge choice and test for her.
It turns out that the so-called plan is not as fast as change refers to this.
Hugo smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he did give the cuckoo great determination, otherwise tonight would definitely be a different scene.
The pale cuckoo looked at Hugo, his gaze full of absoluteness and... Implore.
Hugo was slightly stunned, and then understood the reason for this, and also understood why Mr. Du wanted to talk to him before announcing this time, because in Mr. Du's heart, he didn't want Du Juan to participate in this struggle at all.
Obviously, Cuckoo is very clear about Mr. Du's announcement of the successor of the leader tonight, and he should also know the selection method of the successor, so he began to prepare, and finally Cuckoo bet all his hopes on Hugo, I have to say that this is a rather bold decision, and it can also be seen that Cuckoo is really not sure in this selection process, so he can only play his gambler character to fight for it.
But all this is in Mr. Du's eyes, in his heart, Mr. Du must have feelings for Du Juan, he doesn't want Du Juan to become a victim in this selection battle, and he is not optimistic about her.
After Hugo's arrival in Liujie, Cuckoo quickly took a fancy to Hugo through his own intelligence network, and at that time he came up with this idea, so investigating Anne should be what Cuckoo strongly requested.
When Mr. Du realized all this, he used another small means, that is, a simple conversation.
Although this move seems to be mediocre, it is extremely lethal. No one knew what he had talked about with Hugo, maybe it was just idle chatter, maybe it was some agreement, and Cuckoo didn't know about it, and the possibility of the latter was also extremely feared by him.
The matter about Anne that Hugo wants to investigate should be about Mr. Du, and Cuckoo uses this in exchange for Hugo's help, but if Mr. Du himself reveals to Hugo, and Hugo is the first to get the information, then the so-called agreement is really meaningless, and Hugo will never fight with others for a piece of information that he already knows.
That's Mr. Du's overall plan.
However, in such a complex calculation, Mr. Du still ignored one point, that is, the human heart, he really underestimated Du Juan's desire for power, even if things have a great probability of going in the direction of his own unfavorable, he still has to gamble, even if it is gambling his life...
Hugo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he figured everything out in an instant, it turned out that he had always been just seen as a chess piece that decided some kind of victory, although it seemed that he was the object of the fight, but in fact he was used heavily.
Pathetic, alas.
Hugo chuckled at the thought of this, and although his laughter was not loud, it was also noticeable in such a quiet environment, and soon the eyes of the others were once again focused on the mysterious boy.
Hugo felt a little out of shape, and immediately restrained his laughter, then smiled and looked at the cuckoo and nodded gently.
The cuckoo saw it in his eyes, and suddenly exhaled, and the tense nerves just now were instantly relieved.
At this time, Mr. Du spoke: "Okay, then I announce that the four candidates who will participate in the selection of the next leader: Du Wei, Lan Zi, Bai Mingyin and Du Juan. ”
After saying the names of the four people, Mr. Du said: "I believe that when the sun rises tomorrow, the successor will be chosen." After a pause, Mr. Du said, "Now I also ask you to move to the gladiatorial arena." ”
After that, he saw that the old deacon who was following Mr. Du before gave a deep salute to everyone and motioned for everyone to follow him.
Everyone silently followed the old deacon out of the parlor, and before leaving, they turned their eyes to the great candidate.
A few minutes later, there were only a few people left in the hall who were going to participate in the competition.
"Sister, so bold, admire. Du Wei sat on the side, smiled and gathered his wine glasses and gestured to Du Juan. With his cleverness, Mr. Du's previous intentions also understood, and he couldn't help but begin to admire Du Juan's courage and determination.
Advisor Bai's face became more and more agitated and pale.
"Why!" his voice was mixed with uncontrollable anger.
"No, I just want to get what I want. ”
"I can give you what you want!" Consultant Bai completely ignored the people around him at the moment, and didn't care that Mr. Du, who had a close relationship with Du Juan, was still on the side, and directly expressed what he thought in his heart.
The cuckoo smiled miserably and said, "Maybe I didn't make it clear just now, although I want to get what I want, I don't want to take off my clothes and exchange my body for it!"
