Chapter XXVII. Mental Illness

Sitting in a small but warm café, Xu Zixuan and Qiu Zhenhai were not in a hurry to speak, both of them silently picked up the hot coffee and took a shallow sip.

After a long while, Qiu Zhenhai sighed and said in Mandarin: "Yesterday afternoon, when Sika was kidnapped, Jiang Jianzhi, the head of the Lotte Group, was shot dead in his office. A bullet fired by a sniper from the opposite building went through his head! At that time, I was presenting evidence of his embezzlement of public funds and bribery of politicians at a special meeting of the board of directors. ”

"How coincidental is the timing?" Xu Zixuan also changed to Mandarin. Although it was early in the morning, no one had run to the café so early to drink coffee, but after all, it was a public place, and no one could guarantee that there would not be an ear eavesdropping behind the wall next door. Therefore, Xu and Qiu tacitly used Chinese.

"It's not just a coincidence, it's not bad at all!" Qiu Zhenhai said in a deep voice, "You know, the placement of snipers in the opposite building is definitely not something that can be completed in a while. It can be said that the other party knew before I walked into the conference room or before I even walked into the conference room that I had collected Qi Jiang Jianzhi's materials and prepared to submit them to the board of directors. ”

"You mean there's an inner ghost?" Xu Zixuan's eyebrows curled, "Who do you know who you have collected all the information and are going to join the board of directors at that time?" ”

When Qiu Zhenhai heard this question, he didn't answer, but just looked at Xu Zixuan with a smile.

"Ahem, I'm sorry!" Yes, you Xu Zixuan is just a bodyguard invited by Qiu Zhenhai to protect his girlfriend, what qualifications do you have to interfere in Qiu Zhenhai or even the internal affairs of Lotte Group? People are revealing some inside information to you to make you understand the urgency of the current situation, not to report the case to you. Xu Zixuan saw Qiu Zhenhai's expression and immediately reacted.

"So what am I going to do now?" Xu Zixuan changed the question.

"Continue to protect Su-yeon." After speaking, Qiu Zhenhai took out a thick envelope from his pocket, "There is some cash in here, you take it first." As for the remuneration negotiated in the agreement with your firm, I have already paid a lot of money to the firm's account. If you encounter any difficulties in the future and need my help, please contact Assistant Park or me in time. ”

"Minister Qiu, you are" Xu Zixuan felt like he was being orphaned.

"To be honest, I don't have a clue who kidnapped Su-yeon yesterday afternoon. All I know is that the power of the person who stands on the opposite side of me is far beyond my original imagination. It wasn't until now that I was really scared. Today you and I can sit here quietly and drink sweet and delicious coffee, maybe tomorrow we will be separated by yin and yang, the reality is so cruel. Qiu Zhenhai shrugged helplessly.

"And what are you going to do?"

"What to do? What else can I do? The board gave me the task of pushing me into the crater. If I can wipe out all the moths within the group this time, I will have a bright future in the group. But if I fail or give up, do you think the sanctimonious hypocrites will let me go, a foreigner with no background and no real power? Therefore, the current situation does not allow me to make a choice, to do it, to do it; If you don't do it, you're waiting to die. ”

"So how can I help you?" Xu Zixuan nodded slightly, since ancient times, cool officials have not been so easy to do, and the end is generally miserable.

"You must protect Su-yeon and don't let her get hurt in any way!"

"Hehe, no harm?" Xu Zixuan smiled bitterly, "Minister Qiu, do you remember the question I asked you last time?" ”

"Oh? It seems like you asked me a lot of questions last time, how do I know which one you mean? ”

"I asked you last time: did you confess to Sika, and even propose to her in public, all these actions came from your sincerity?" Xu Zixuan suddenly raised his voice, "Now, I still want to hear your answer." ”

Qiu Zhenhai stared at Xu Zixuan and didn't speak for a long time.

"Xiao Xu, do you know that there is a mental illness in the world called: Stockholm syndrome (Stockholm syndrome)?" Qiu Zhenhai answered the question.

"Of course I do! Stockholm syndrome, also known as Stockholm syndrome or hostage complex or hostage syndrome, refers to a complex in which the victim of a crime has feelings for the offender and even helps the offender in turn. This emotion causes the victim to develop a favorable impression of the perpetrator, a sense of dependence, and even assistance in inflicting harm on others. Xu Zixuan slowly recalled from his mind the relevant knowledge taught by the instructors in the army.

"Hehe, Xiao Xu seems to know very well! Don't you think so-yeon has such symptoms right now? Qiu Zhenhai smiled bitterly.

"What? Sika, do you mean me? Xu Zixuan was taken aback, is this a Shenma situation? The owner has come to arrest him? But I don't have anything to do with Sika, how can an ordinary bodyguard incident come up with such a high-end term as Stockholm syndrome?

"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm not saying that you and Su-yeon had feelings that shouldn't have happened. But during this time, you have been together almost every day, and you have rescued Su-yeon from danger twice, and it is normal for her to become dependent and trusting of you. ”

Xu Zixuan frowned and looked at Qiu Zhenhai, I don't know what he means by suddenly making such a play?!

"Haha, don't look at me like that. I say this in the hope that you can understand that now you are protecting Xiuyan, not only because I used money to hire you, but because the person concerned has become accustomed to your company and protection. And through these two unexpected performances, I don't think you're as simple as it seems on the surface, are you? ”

Xu Zixuan was silent, and said in a pun, "Minister Qiu, I am just a bodyguard, a simple bodyguard!"

"Okay, then please protect Xiuyan as a simple bodyguard!" Qiu Zhenhai stood up, "This is my employer's request, and it is also the hope of Xiuyan, the protector!" ”

"Don't worry, I will! No matter who it is, as long as anyone dares to hurt Sika, I will not let him go! Xu Zixuan stared at Qiu Zhenhai standing in front of him, and said word by word.

"I believe you" Qiu Zhenhai did not escape Xu Zixuan's fierce eyes, smiled slightly, waved at him, and strode out of the café.

After Qiu Zhenhai walked out of the café, Xu Zixuan did not leave, but sat quietly and fell into deep thought.

"Qiu Zhenhai Lotian Group is a little interesting, really interesting!"

Xu Zixuan, who had been sitting for a long time, suddenly turned up the corners of his mouth and showed a knowing smile. Then, suddenly, he stood up and strode out of the coffee house.

ps: Thank you Ye Luoxing Chen, I only love you and the reward who once had love!
