Chapter 172: Three Questions
"Oppose!" Wei Mingyue said, opening her palm.
"Huh!" Bai Jingyuan seemed to have forgotten her original intention, but began to enjoy the game attentively.
"Hehe, I lost, so please ask questions, right?" Edward also seemed to have fully integrated into the game, and when he saw that Wei Mingyue's coin was the opposite, he said without hesitation.
"Okay, then ......" Wei Mingyue was about to ask her own question.
"Wait a minute, why not me, not me, I have to answer the question too!" Bai Jingyuan interjected and screamed, it seemed that she had really forgotten the original intention of the game, but she immediately ushered in Wei Mingyue's knife-like gaze, fiercely, ruthlessly, a knife, a knife pierced her eyes, so that she finally couldn't help but retreat, honestly sat back in her place, and then very well-behaved, lowered her head, and would never interject indiscriminately.
At this time, Wei Mingyue retracted her gaze with satisfaction.
"Next time, if you dare to do this, let you know what the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing are!" Wei Mingyue said coldly, then turned her head and asked Edward, "Then my question is ......?"
"Listen up!" Edward nodded.
"How long can this town exist?" Wei Mingyue said straightforwardly.
"It's really bold to ask this question......" Hearing Wei Mingyue's question, Edward was stunned on the spot, originally thought that it would start with a relatively simple and basic question, but he didn't expect this first question to be so tricky and shocking.
"You just have to answer, tell the truth!" Wei Mingyue continued.
"Yes, you must be sincere, otherwise you will be punished! No mercy, the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" Bai Jingyuan said with the trend, and she trembled again for a while.
However, after being glanced at by Wei Mingyue again, Bai Jingyuan suddenly became more honest again.
"There's something about that, since you've asked, of course it's true, it's actually ......" Edward sold a little, and then said, "I don't know!"
"How could you not know?" Wei Mingyue immediately asked.
"Yes, how can you not know, you are not telling the truth, you want to be punished, you want to be punished!" Bai Jingyuan raised her head suddenly, and said after Wei Mingyue, this time Wei Mingyue didn't stare at her, because Bai Jingyuan's words were also her heart.
"Of course it's true, I can swear to God about that!, okay, this time the question is over, let's move on to the next one, shall we?" said Edward with a straight face, without the slightest joke or lie.
"Okay, that's the end of this question!" Wei Mingyue nodded.
"Forget you, since you swear to God, there's no way around it, it's just ...... By the way, do you believe in God? It can't be the devil or something? Oh...... Hehe...... Don't you care, I'm just talking nonsense, nonsense!" Bai Jingyuan said with some unhappiness, and even questioned Edward's beliefs, so he immediately attracted Edward's strong eyes to condemn, then what, something like Xinyang is naturally worthless in China, but in the Western world, especially in this kind of European region with a very strong religious atmosphere, and in the countryside, and for people of Edward's age, it is absolutely not allowed to be questioned.
Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.
Because of this, Edward, a person who seems to be a good old man, can't help but be angry all of a sudden.
However, Bai Jingyuan's reaction was also fast, and she immediately changed her words, and Edward also realized that the other party was really unintentional, so it could be regarded as a stop, otherwise it is difficult to say what would happen in the end, but at least Edward was unhappy and threw his sleeves away, but it was certain.
And their meeting can be regarded as a complete ruin, the strategic intention will be completely ruined, the probability of successfully completing the task will be greatly reduced, and in the end, it is very likely that because of this incident, the two of them packed up and left here and went home.
At the same time, Bai Jingyuan also attracted another serious warning from Wei Mingyue, and Bai Jingyuan immediately sat down in her seat honestly like a good child, and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"I apologize for what my companion said!" Wei Mingyue said.
"It's not necessary, it's just a child's angry words, I won't take it to heart......" Edward said not to take it to heart, which one would believe it, if he really didn't take it to heart, he wouldn't stare at Bai Jingyuan with his eyes very impulsively, if it wasn't for Bai Jingyuan's timely response, he might have scolded loudly, and if it was serious, he would have staged a full martial arts, but at this time, since Edward said that he didn't take it to heart, then Wei Mingyue would also treat him as not taking it to heart.
"Then ......" Wei Mingyue nodded.
"But......" took a turn in Edward's words.
Suddenly, Wei Mingyue's heart couldn't help but chuckle for a moment, and then she looked up at the other party's eyes, calmed down, and prepared to listen to what the other party was going to say?
Blindly apologizing and giving in is not Wei Mingyue's style, as long as the apology is meaningful, even if it is really wrong, Wei Mingyue will never allow the other party to gain an inch because of this, there are things about their own interests, Wei Mingyue will not pay attention to any face, and this is also the style of Wei Mingyue, a famous disciple.
"What, didn't you say you didn't take it to heart? Why would it be?" Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but speak, feeling a little sorry for Wei Mingyue at the same time in her heart, if it weren't for herself, they wouldn't be so passive at this time.
"Don't talk, I'll do it!" This time Wei Mingyue did not hit Bai Jingyuan's head with a knife as before, but put her palm in front of Bai Jingyuan's body, Wei Mingyue was like a parent of a child who did something wrong, no matter what responsibility the child had to bear for the wrong thing, she was all on her shoulders alone.
"Hmm!" Bai Jingyuan could only hum at this time, and then nodded.
"Don't get me wrong, it's really not careful, it's just a little bit of a supplement to the rules of this game?" Edward smiled, waving his hand, signaling that he didn't have any other thoughts, so that the other party should not be nervous.
"Listen up!" Wei Mingyue nodded and said.
"It's just that if you keep asking like this, it's not big, but it's like this, it's only three times! The first time, then the second, and then the third time, and then it's over, and finally we share delicious coffee and food together, and let go of our guards, open our hearts, and really have a good conversation?
"That's how it should be, then I'll just ask the second question directly, and there is no need to play under the guise of a game like this, Edward, what do you think?" Wei Mingyue said, even more neatly.
"Okay, then please?" Edward was also very single.
"Then I'll ask, the second question, what is the ultimate goal of Brand?" Wei Mingyue said.
"This ......" Edward blinked, his face showed a somewhat confused look, for a while it seemed that he didn't know how to answer, this question seemed to be a little complicated, and at the same time seemed to be a little too simple, after a little hesitation, Edward made his own decision, and said: "Money!"
This is the simplest answer, just one word.
At this time, Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but want to vomit again, but with the experience of the previous few times, she learned a rare lesson, and finally didn't interject, but the expression on her face was a feeling that she was holding her stool and couldn't hold it back, which made people see that it was really joyful.
Hearing Edward's answer, Wei Mingyue was stunned at first, because the answer was indeed too simple, but after thinking about it a little, it was the same thing.
It's money, indeed.
Is there any higher purpose, is there any higher purpose, is it to eradicate poverty, hunger and disease among the people of the world, or is it the eternal theme of maintaining world peace?
It's impossible!
Such an answer could not be more realistic.
"Good!" Wei Mingyue praised.
"It's a simple reason, but it's also very good!" said Edward, thoughtfully.
"Then the third question!" Wei Mingyue nodded, acknowledging what Edward had just said.
"Okay, I'm listening!" Edward nodded.
"So...... The third question, are you on our side?" Wei Mingyue looked at the other party and said this third question, which is much simpler than the previous two questions, and the answer is also very fixed, nothing more than yes and no.
Hearing this question, Edward couldn't help laughing, his hands were spread, and then his body couldn't help but lean back, leaning on the back of the chair, his body trembled slightly because of laughter, it seemed that he heard not Wei Mingyue's question, but a really funny joke.
"This ......" is just that the joke is really a question, although it is still the simplest question with only two answers, yes and no, but this time Edward hesitated for a noticeably longer time than the previous two times.
Nothing more, now it is a question of determining a position.
"That's a really hard question to answer, first of all, I don't even know which side you're on?" Edward finally spoke.
"Do we still need to ask? We are naturally the ones who stand opposite the big profiteer of Brand, and we are bound to fight him to the end, and then keep this town!" Bai Jingyuan endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but interject.
"Listening to you, it seems that you are on the side of safeguarding the interests of the people of the town?" Edward said after listening to Bai Jingyuan's words.
"Of course that's what it looks like, backed by the vast number of people in the town whose own interests are being seriously violated, and relying on it, we are bound to fight to the death against the evil Great Demon Brand, who wants to destroy the entire town, and finally defeat him!" When Bai Jingyuan said this, she seemed to have turned into a brave man who was ready to fight the evil dragon and then save the princess.
"Okay then...... What would you say if I told you that the people in the whole town were actually more on Brand's side? By the way, you seemed to be present when I talked to a few people in the town before, and you probably heard what we said, and I don't know how you felt?" said Edward with a wry smile.
"That's because the simple and kind people have been deceived by the evil Great Demon Brand, and as long as we expose the lies of the Great Demon Brand, we will naturally be able to make the lamb who has lost its way return to the path it should take!" Bai Jingyuan said with great interest, it seems that she really regards Brande as a big demon.
And the big demon's badness is all bad, completely bad, completely bad, all wrong, all his faults, all his faults, all wrongs, all his faults, all problems, naturally all his problems, and as long as he is defeated, then everything will naturally become better.
"Your Excellency, what do you say?" Edward shifted his gaze and landed on Wei Mingyue's body, just at a glance he could see what kind of person Bai Jingyuan belonged to, it seemed that he belonged to the kind of person who was more fantasizing, but now it seemed that Bai Jingyuan was even more fantastical.
Because he knew that he was also such a person, Edward knew how difficult it was to convince the other party, so he did not intend to waste time on the other party at all, but directly transferred the target to Wei Mingyue.
"Interests, everyone is out of interests!" Wei Mingyue nodded and said.
"Yes, that's quite a brilliant statement, but can I understand it that you are against Brande because of your interests?" questioned Edward.
"This ...... Naturally!" Wei Mingyue nodded, it is natural to have this point, and there is no need to hide it, which one will come from thousands of mountains and rivers far away, and then for a town that has nothing to do with him, he takes a great risk to fight against a local businessman who wants to have an identity, a status, of course, a lot of money, and a person! If there is really no half-dime relationship, wouldn't it be a pain in the idle egg.
Of course, there are interests, and it is necessary to oppose each other, and there is no confrontation that can be negotiated and coexisted!
"How do you say this, we are for justice, justice ......" Bai Jingyuan was unhappy all of a sudden, speaking like this did not conform to all the beliefs and beauty in her heart at all.
"Okay, little girl, stop, I understand, I understand, I understand, but I don't need to say it out of my mind, even if I stand on the moral high ground, the essence of this thing will not change in the slightest!" said Edward with a wave of his hand.
"Hey, boring people, vulgar and unbearable, I thought you were a selfless character?" Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but purses her mouth, feeling that she had seen the wrong person.
"And what are your interests?" Wei Mingyue asked Edward directly.
"Is this a new question?" Edward asked rhetorically, without answering.
"No, it's just a continuation of the previous question...... Wei Mingyue shook her head and said.
"Okay, just take it as a continuation of the previous question, okay, what are my interests, why do I insist on it, in fact, the conditions that Brande gave me are really good, frankly speaking, Brand's people are really good in this regard, otherwise there won't be so many people in the town who will agree to his conditions and prepare to move out, and I don't need to work so hard to convince the people in the town, it's just that the people in the town spontaneously organized themselves to protest against this matter, which is enough to make Brand's roll up and get out!" said Edward unhurriedly.
"How could there be such a thing, the demolition party did not try all kinds of methods, just to deduct the demolition money as much as possible, regardless of the life and death of the people living in the demolition area, did not hesitate to cut off water, electricity, natural gas, arson in the middle of the night, kidnapping, intimidation, and forced to use large machinery to demolish, bury alive, and crush the elderly! The use of AIDS commandos, old aunt commandos, urban management commandos, police commandos, and even employing idle people in society is not to save money, how is it possible, how is it possible, how is it possible, how is it possible to ......" Bai Jingyuan opened her eyes suddenly, and then said with a cry of urgency.
Edward was taken aback when he heard these words.
"What's that...... Where did all these things you talk about? This is simply terrible, too incredible, too unbelievable, can such a place still be regarded as a society and country governed by the rule of law? Is it a region of war and turmoil? For example, some Arab countries? No, no, even in a place like that, it is very rare for such a situation to occur? It is really unimaginable!" Edward said, but for a moment, Bai Jingyuan's face was a little unbearable.
How do you have to answer this!
Could it be said that this is happening in a country that is more advanced and civilized than the capitalist system, and where the people are truly the masters of their own affairs?
Bai Jingyuan can't do such a thing.
Especially the toiling masses who are still living under the evil capitalist system, in dire straits, and waiting to be saved! How can Bai Jingyuan speak, how can she?
For a while, Bai Jingyuan was silent, speechless, and completely closed her mouth.
"You can skip the paragraph just now, let's continue to talk about ours!" Wei Mingyue interjected in time, immediately diverting her attention.
"Okay!" Edward nodded.
