Chapter 117: Gong Xie's Last Moments

"Absolutely not..."Gong Xie interrupted Pang Jindong's words and said categorically: "Sun Hailiang will live a normal life from now on, and he will never chase anything extraordinary... The ancients often said: 'Contentment and happiness' can be described as a wise saying... I thank someone for not being satisfied, and being swayed by desire to keep going, and as a result, I have come to this point..."

"I'm glad you realized this..."Pang Jindong nodded, and expressed his opinion: "Gong Xie, you have so much wealth, control so many officials, and do so much business, you can become an underground emperor who calls for wind and rain... But you were not satisfied, and you wanted more things, and finally you reached out to me..."

"Yes, I was driven by all kinds of desires, and in the end, I made these things, and it was even more wrong to choose you as an opponent..."

"I'm glad that Gong Xie lifted me up like this, but the whole thing is just like what you said, all kinds of unfavorable factors are piled up together, and I, Pang Jindong, just played the role of the fuse, otherwise Gong Xie, you wouldn't have lost so quickly and so miserably..." However, Pang Jindong was able to say these words, not only because he had some sympathy, but also because it was true.

Pang Jindong has always been self-aware, and he doesn't care about letting the enemy have a real understanding of himself.

"I said this that day because we were still opponents, but now we are no longer opponents, so I can say what is in my heart..."Although expressing his appreciation for Pang Jindong, Xie Gong's words were still very simple: "Although you are just the fuse, ordinary people are absolutely incapable of lighting the dynamite barrel that destroyed me Xie someone..."

"Perhaps......"

"But......" Gong Xie looked at Pang Jindong and suddenly became excited: "But I, Xie someone, definitely don't regret it, because the world we live in is a jungle full of all kinds of desires... Power desire, material desire, lust and even **, everyone is driven by desire to live, and it is desire that creates this prosperous world... I thank someone who is also a mortal, how can he be beyond the ordinary?"

Regarding what Gong Xie said, Pang Jindong agreed with Cheng Dacheng, but he also had certain reservations: "But people should learn to control their desires, otherwise they will be destroyed by desires..."

"Not bad... But I don't care if I'm ruined by desire..."Xie Gong stood up tremblingly, opened his arms as if to embrace the sky, and said word by word: "I thank someone for eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in this life, drinking the world's famous wines, and seeing the rich luxury, what ordinary people can't enjoy in a few lifetimes, I thank someone for enjoying them all... The common people have to grovel when they see the officials, but no matter how big or small the official position or what kind of power they hold, they have to listen to the instructions of me and someone... I've been hiding behind the scenes for so many years, but I can call the wind and rain and surprise the wind and clouds, my life is worth it..."

Pang Jindong looked at Gong Xie and nodded heavily: "Maybe......"

Tang Yun smiled beside him, and suddenly proposed: "Actually, there is another reason why you are doing this, that is, you hate society from the bottom of your heart..."

Gong Xie sat down and looked at Tang Yun, and laughed after a while: "It's not a loss to Tang Yun, you can hit the nail on the head like this..."

Tang Yun smiled even brighter: "Thank you for the compliment..."

"I've heard of you for a long time, and I know that many plans have been ruined in your hands, and I invite you here today to really see you as a person... In fact, without any external interference, you and I can instinctively have more wonderful tricks, but it's a pity..."Gong Xie said to Tang Yun, and then said to Pang Jindong: "You found a good assistant..."

Pang Jindong didn't quite understand Tang Yun's judgment just now, and asked Xie Gong strangely: "Why do you hate society?"

"When I was just liberated, my father gave up a lucrative job abroad with patriotic enthusiasm, and resolutely came back to participate in the construction..." But just because he said the wrong thing in a certain movement, he was beaten up as a counter-revolutionary and imprisoned in a cowshed... It has been there for many years since then...... It wasn't until the country wanted to re-engage in research in the field of organic chemistry that I remembered my father, but at that time the old man had died of poverty and illness......"

Pang Jindong had only heard about Gong Xie's family affairs before, and he didn't really understand it until today. This made Pang Jindong not only admire Gong Xie's outdated father, but also sympathize with Gong Xie himself: "I knew that you were a scholar, but I didn't expect that there would be such a past..."

Xie Gong continued: "Because of what he said, coupled with the status of overseas returnees, my whole life has been affected... In fact, despite my father's experience, I still wanted to serve the country... I'm a powerless literati, and although I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, I can always do some research... So, I wanted to be admitted to university with a few literary battles, but I failed for those reasons, and I could only watch ......"

Gong Xie took a few heavy breaths, and couldn't say any more.

In fact, Xie Gong's words had a great deal of reservations, and he did not mention the physical and mental devastation he himself suffered during that catastrophe.

Pang Jindong looked at the old man who was disabled because of this, and had to think that he had enough reason to be resentful about his past life.

But despite this, Pang Jindong still can't agree with Xie Gong's approach: "Any country, any society, will make mistakes, the important thing is that the mistakes have been corrected..."

"To correct a point, I am not taking revenge on the whole society, but a certain part of the upper strata of society..."

"The ones who changed your fate?"

"Yes..."Gong Xie snorted heavily, and continued: "These people are immoral and incompetent, but they are above all the people, and manipulate the fate of others at will... I was afraid of them back then, and now I corrupt them with money and let them be dogs, isn't it happy?"

Pang Jindong somewhat agreed with Xie Gong's words: "Maybe......"

"Above the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat Lu, the wolf-hearted dogs, the people who are rolling in the road, and the servants and servants are all in power. Xie Gong slapped the table hard, said this very famous sentence, and then said: "I'm Xie someone who fights all of them with his own strength, even if he is not a hero who stands up to the sky, but he is also very courageous..."

"I admit it, but ......" Pang Jindong paused, and then pointed out sharply: "You think that you corrupted them, and let them fall is revenge, but you never thought about where the money they embezzled came from, who did their stupidity and incompetence hurt, and what did the underworld organization you manipulate do?"

The corners of Gong Xie's mouth twitched twice: "This ......"

Pang Jindong took a deep breath and said word by word: "Anyone who is an enemy of the common people is wrong, even if you bring yourself a grand crown, it can't hide the fact that you are causing harm to society..."

"But ......"

Pang Jindong didn't give Xie Gong a chance to argue, and said: "Those corrupt officials should have been punished, but after accepting bribes from you and becoming a member of the corruption network, they are not only more crazy and greedy, but also protected by you..." The escalation and spread of corruption has made life even more difficult for ordinary people, and you were originally a member of the ordinary people, so quickly forgot your roots, forgetting what happened to you as a teenager?"

Gong Xie was stunned for a long time before he shook his head again and again and said, "Forget it, I don't want to continue to discuss these issues with you......"

Pang Jindong was full of emotion in his heart, and interrupted without waiting for Xie Gong to finish speaking: "Nixon has a famous saying, I believe you should have heard it...... Don't ask what the state has done for you, but what you have done for the country ... This applies to yourself, and as for what happened to your father, because I did not live through that era, it is inconvenient for me to comment..."

"Maybe you're right, it's just that on these things we can't agree... However, after I thoroughly reflected on my life yesterday, I did intend to do something......" Xie Chengcheng said, a stream of black-red blood flowed out of his nostrils, like a terrible snake swimming slowly. Gong Xie took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood, and then continued: "I brought you here today to arrange my funeral..."

"What's going on?" Seeing Gong Xie's appearance and hearing Gong Xie's words, Pang Jindong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Gong Xie smiled sadly, and his expression became even haggard: "I don't have much time.......

Pang Jindong slowly stood up and asked word by word: "Have you taken poison?"

Faced with Pang Jindong's question, Xie Gong once again chose to evade: "Now let's explain everything..."

Pang Jindong felt very strange about Xie Gong's statement: "I think we have already talked about it, what else do we need to explain?"

Gong Xie smiled weakly: "I have accumulated a lot of wealth in my life, including cash, deposits, foreign exchange, funds, gold, stocks, business, interpersonal relationships, etc., do you think I shouldn't deal with it?"
