Chapter 81: The Candidate

At this moment, the harmonious aura between Hugo and Mr. Du began to change, and a subtle sense of fierceness was already permeating it.

"Xiaoyou's words just now are very meaningful, but I forgive you for being old and slow-witted, and I can't react for a while, so please make it clear. ”

Now that he has said it to such an extent, Hugo no longer has any worries, and said directly: "Mr. Du is over the age of old, and he has been prosperous and wealthy for decades, and has accumulated wealth and status that countless people dare not hope for in their lives, but in the end, he has never had a child under his knees. After that, Hugo's eyes looked at Du Wei and the others who were also constantly peeking here in the distance.

"Both children seem to be enviable, but they are always not as good as their own children. Hugo said quietly, and there seemed to be some schadenfreude in his tone.

The expression on Mr. Du's face has softened a little, and he smiled at Hugo: "Is this what Xiaoyou is referring to?" Hugo nodded.

Mr. Du said: "Du has fought all his life, and his karma is heavy, and I think that being wordless and without a woman can be regarded as a punishment from God." ”

Hugo said: "Mr. Du believes in his fate?"

Mr. Du nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

Hugo smiled bitterly, and among the people he had befriended, there was one more person who believed in his fate.

Hugo said: "But I don't know if Mr. Du is really childless, or is he hiding it for some reason?"

Mr. Du leaned back on the sofa, and there was a little more melancholy in his old and wise eyes.

"Xiaoyou seems to be very concerned about the old family affairs, do you think I will tell you about it for any reason?"

Hugo waved his hand and said, "The old gentleman is suspicious, and the late student just asked casually, I hope don't mind." ”

Since the problem is still out, it is definitely not about worrying about whether others mind, Hugo is a completely disgusting scoundrel spirit, and Mr. Du only smiled at this, and he was not angry.

Although Mr. Du did not leak any news from the question just now, although it seemed that he had gained nothing, Hugo thought that he had gained a lot.

First of all, it can be seen from Mr. Du's calm attitude that he is deliberately controlling his emotions, otherwise Hugo's offense will be particularly displeasing even if it is someone else.

Mr. Du understands Hugo, and at the same time knows what Hugo wants, so he can understand the meaning of Hugo's words, Hugo's constant topic of children just wants to tell Mr. Du from the side that he already knows the relationship between him and a woman named Anne, and when he talks about this, Hugo is also a little suspicious in his heart, you must know that when the two first met, Mr. Du's attitude can be said to be completely immovable, so calm that people can't detect anything unusual at all.

But what makes Hugo even more incomprehensible is that if the Anne he is looking for is really the so-called lover of Mr. Du, then Mr. Du should have realized this a long time ago, and why did he cooperate with him and leave everything to Cuckoo alone, is it just because he had a relationship with him in the Dim Light bar before?

The above argument really doesn't make sense.

However, judging from the attitude shown by Du Juan before, Anne should indeed have something to do with Mr. Du, and according to the investigation of Akita and Xia Ran, Mr. Du is also more suspicious.

Mr. Du said: "People live for a lifetime, and the grass and trees are autumn." No matter what the outcome of the old decay is, he has accepted it calmly, whether he has a child or has no children, it will not have much impact in the end. Even if I had children, I wouldn't give him this inheritance, because I really didn't want to see my children follow in my footsteps. ”

Mr. Du had clearly shifted the subject at this point, but Hugo also realized that Mr. Du had shifted the subject to another point of concern to him.

Mr. Du said: "Du Juan has used a lot of ways to get you on her side." ”

Hugo smiled: "Not much, she just promised me what she needed." Hugo's words were very subtle, and the provocation of this sentence seemed too strong to outsiders.

Mr. Du said: "With Xiaoyou's help, her success rate has indeed improved a lot. ”

Hugo smiled: "It's a pity that it's not 100 percent. ”

Mr. Du waved his hand and said: "Where in this world is the so-called complete 100%, there is a large probability that two accounts for one, but it is a pity that Xiaoyou has stayed in Liujie for too short a time, otherwise her chances of winning will be greater." ”

The glare had fully shown that he knew about Hugo's trip, but Hugo felt that there was another layer of deep meaning hidden in Mr. Du's words.

Judging by the current situation in the metropolitan area, he doesn't have much time left.

Mr. Du said, "Cuckoo, did she say what kind of plan she has tonight?"

Hugo shook his head, then said, "She only told me how many people would die tonight." ”

Mr. Du nodded and said, "This is true, hey, it's a pity, a good young man is still ahead of me." ”

Hugo frowned, from Mr. Du's words, he sensed that there was some kind of power behind this power alternation incident, and now it seems that this manipulator is actually Mr. Du.

At this moment, Mr. Du slowly stood up.

"Now that everyone is ready, there is no need for the old man to put things off, and it is better to give the opportunity to show his strength to the young people as soon as possible. ”

With that, Mr. Du took two steps forward and coughed lightly.

The moaning was not loud, but it made the lively meeting room quiet again, as if the prosperity and noise just now were just pretended.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry to be disturbed Yaxing, but I just have a few words to say about the old woman, and I still want to look at Haihan. After that, Mr. Du did not give others a chance to echo, and then continued: "Today is the eighty-fifth birthday of the old man, and I am really tired and tired of sitting in this position for decades, and my physical and mental strength is not as good as before, and I am unable to deal with many things, so I came up with the idea of abdicating before this, hoping that there will be a descendant to replace me." ”

After Mr. Du said this, not only was the scene noisy at the moment, but Hugo could see that everyone was not too surprised, and Mr. Du had already revealed his thoughts to everyone before that.

Mr. Du said, "Since the establishment of the organization, the purpose of respecting ability and contribution has not changed over the years, and the candidates I have selected this time are based on this. ”

After a pause, Mr. Du said aloud: "Now I have drawn up three candidates, namely my righteous son Du Wei, my righteous daughter Lanzi, and my advisor Bai Mingyin, who has always been by my side..."

When Mr. Du said this, Hugo found that the cuckoo's face had become very ugly, and his eyes were fixed on Mr. Du.
