Chapter 368: Sinners
Hearing the method of atonement, Liu Sheng and Zhao Chengguo were stunned. Wu Tian actually wanted to imprison them? And until Project A succeeds? What's the difference between that and a life sentence?
It is still unknown when Project A will be completed. This is a worldwide problem, and there have been studies abroad that have not yielded results for decades. Don't look at the past six months, Project A has broken through several difficulties, but that is only some relatively simple topics in the early stage, who knows what will happen in the future? Just like in the last month, after the project entered the middle of the project, didn't it make the slightest progress?
On top of that, it's too much to even keep in touch with your family, right?
Liu Sheng and Zhao Chengguo hesitated for a while. Leave it to the police, and their actions will definitely go to jail, which is a few years at most. But if you don't hand it over to the police, you will have to stay in this Tianzheng Building, and it will be far away, and there is no end in sight. Maybe years, maybe decades, maybe a lifetime. The former at least has a hope and knows the time. But the latter, there is only an unknown wait.
"Can we still participate in Project A?" Liu Sheng thought for a while and asked Wu Tian.
"Then it depends on your appearance." Wu Tian said lightly.
"Okay, I'd like to stay here." Liu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, he thought a lot, although Project A is far away, but the environment of Tianzheng Building is at least much better than that of the prison. And I heard that the prison is very chaotic, and newcomers are going to be bullied, beaten, abused, and may be exposed to perverts and chrysanthemums, and I feel chrysanthemums trembling when I think about it. What's more, if you are charged with a crime, even if you come out of it in the future, you will be ostracized by society, so it is better to stay in the Tianzheng Building, "However, can you guarantee that if Zhang Lan calls the police, we will be fine?" ”
"Zhang Lan's affairs, I will handle it for you."
"That's good. But until then, can I give my home a call? I want to say goodbye to my parents and tell them that I want to go abroad on business ......! "It's better to go abroad on business than to go to jail, at least not to let his parents be pointed at outside.
"Yes!" Wu Tian felt that Liu Sheng's request was not too much, so he agreed.
Zhao Chengguo looked at Liu Sheng in surprise, he never thought that Liu Sheng would agree so quickly. This is a major event related to the rest of my life, and it is too hasty to decide so quickly, right? In fact, Zhao Chengguo originally wanted to stay, but when he heard that Wu Tian would help them solve Zhang Lan's matter. And he had many thoughts in his heart. Most of the conditions are acceptable to Zhao Chengguo, but he can't contact his family, which makes Zhao Chengguo feel a little excessive, even if he goes to prison and squats in prison, he still has time to visit the prison. What if you make up a reason for 'going abroad for business'? Can't I call home when I go abroad? So this reason is not sufficient at all, and the family cannot believe it.
"If, I mean if." Zhao Chengguo looked at Wu Tian and asked tentatively, "What if you don't want to stay in Tianzheng Mansion all the time?" Is there any other way to atone for sin? ”
Wu Tian frowned when he heard this. Shaking his head, he said coldly to Zhao Chengguo, "Yes." You can go out, but out of the gate. Let's settle our destiny. Wu Tian's tone was very flat when he spoke, but it was full of murderous aura, and even threatened and intimidated.
"Can you leave?" Zhao Chengguo was stunned when he heard it, he only heard the previous sentence. But I didn't hear the meaning of the second half of the sentence clearly, if I really could choose to leave, then who would want to be imprisoned here for the rest of my life? "Is it really possible to leave? What kind of atonement is this? ”
"This is not atonement. But since then, we have parted ways, and it has nothing to do with each other. Wu Tian said. In fact, when Liu Sheng agreed to stay before, Wu Tian was still very happy, not only to keep Liu Sheng for his use, but also to prevent leaks, killing two birds with one stone. As for Zhang Lan, the public relations manager of Nanhua Pharmaceutical, and the handles of Liu Sheng and Zhao Chengguo held by the other party, it doesn't matter to Wu Tian, even if the other party calls the police, what can he do? With him, even if he is a policeman, he doesn't want to set foot in the Tianzheng Building, let alone come in and arrest people. Therefore, as long as they stayed in the Tianzheng Building, Wu Tian would be able to guarantee their safety. But now that he heard Zhao Chengguo's question, Wu Tian's mood suddenly deteriorated, which was a kind of disappointment and anger. He has given the other party a chance to atone for his sins, but the other party doesn't grasp it well, not only does he not want to stay to atone for his sins, but he still wants to leave? Wu Tian's impression of Zhao Chengguo was okay, but now, it is poor, and it is very bad. Timid, fearful, and irresponsible, these shortcomings of Zhao Chengguo all appeared in Wu Tian's mind, and this was his understanding of Zhao Chengguo. ‘
Between people, when the relationship is good, the shortcomings are easy to be ignored, but when the relationship is not good, the shortcomings will be amplified by the wireless. In Wu Tian's eyes, no matter what Zhao Chengguo's final choice was, he had already been sentenced to death.
Of course, this death penalty is not really dead, but the heart is dead, and it will not give the other party any chance.
In Wu Tian's view, Zhao Chengguo himself is a person who has done something wrong, since he is a guilty person, he is thinking about how to atone for his sins, not about evading responsibility. He gave the other party a chance to atone for his sins, but the other party not only did not grasp it, but also picked the fat and thin, is this the attitude of atonement? People like Zhao Chengguo are not worthy of pity, let alone a chance.
is also a person who has committed betrayal, Liu Sheng's attitude is much better, although he also hesitated, but in the end he still accepted Wu Tian's mention very happily. No matter what he did in his heart, at least on the surface, it was an attitude of atonement. Compared with him, Zhao Chengguo seems to be ignorant and insatiable.
Wu Tian's eyes gradually became indifferent when he looked at Zhao Chengguo, if a person really wanted to find death, he couldn't stop it. Zhao Chengguo belongs to this kind of person, constantly challenging his patience, making him angry and disappointed again and again. Isn't this kind of behavior looking for death?
Part company with? Isn't that just a one-size-fits-all? Hearing Wu Tian's explanation of 'leaving', Zhao Chengguo was stunned at first, and then there was a burst of excitement in his heart. did betray Project A and betray the R&D team, anyway, I don't have the face to face those former brothers and sisters in the future, so what can I do if we part ways? Big deal, never see each other, never have anything to do with these people again. With your own ability, it should be easy to find a job where you can eat. It's better than being imprisoned here all the time, at least you're free.
Zhao Chengguo's thoughts. All the reactions were on his face, in front of Wu Tian, he actually thought about it and laughed, and his face showed a look of longing for the future.
Liu Sheng shouted badly when he saw it, Zhao Chengguo definitely wanted to leave. He is also very clear about Zhao Chengguo's problems, in fact, when he went to the south to do business a year ago, if it wasn't for Zhao Chengguo's negligence, he wouldn't have lost all of them, and he didn't even have the money to come back. But the fault is the fault. If it weren't for the fact that he knew Zhang Lan and decided to work in Nanhua Pharmaceutical, Zhao Chengguo would not have fallen into Zhang Lan's trap. And he felt that things were definitely not as simple as Wu Tian said, just a knife in two? He can clearly remember that Wu Tian said before that when he leaves this door, he will have a destiny. Such lines. It appears in many movies and TV series, and after going out, there are often no good consequences.
Think about Wu Tian, who was lawless when he was in Shengtian. No one dared to mess with it, and then Project A was forced to terminate, so he bought an old pharmaceutical company and restarted Project A, is this something that ordinary people can do? That's it. If you don't have a certain strength and background, don't even think about buying it.
"Chengguo, you ......!"
Liu Shenggang wanted to persuade Zhao Chengguo to stay. After only saying a few words, he was interrupted by Wu Tian.
"Chengguo, have you thought about it?" Wu Tian glanced at Liu Sheng, then looked at Zhao Chengguo and asked, "Do you choose to stay and atone for your sins, or do you choose to cut it in two from now on, choose." But don't worry, even if you choose to leave Tianzheng, I won't send you to the Public Security Bureau. ”
After Liu Sheng received the warning from Wu Tian's eyes, he was very anxious, although he stopped talking, but he looked at Zhao Chengguo again and again.
Zhao Chengguo took a heavy breath, looked at Liu Sheng, then at Wu Tian, and said, "Wu Tian, Liu Sheng, please forgive me, I choose to leave." I couldn't do it if I was allowed to stay here all the time, not to leave, not to be in contact with people outside. ”
"You're ......!" Liu Sheng wanted to persuade the other party one last time, but as soon as he spoke up, he saw Wu Tian raise his hand, and the words behind him were stuck in his mouth and couldn't be said.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, since you chose to leave, then I won't force you to stay, I hope you won't regret it in the future." Wu Tian said lightly, "Let's go." ”
"My stuff ......!" Zhao Chengguo looked at the books in his office.
"Hurry up and clean up." Wu Tian suddenly pointed to Zhao Chengguo's office and yelled at the other party, "Quick, I don't want to see you again." ”
Zhao Chengguo was taken aback, it was the first time he saw Wu Tian so angry, his eyebrows were full of hideousness, his legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground, fortunately there was a wall behind him, and he leaned on it, so he stood firmly. After a while, after feeling his body recover, Zhao Chengguo hurriedly took out a box from under the desk, and then put the things on the table into the box. They are all books on anti-cancer research, as well as some notes and materials written by themselves, which are helpful in finding a job in the future. Thinking that when he first entered Tianzheng, he did not sign a confidentiality agreement, Zhao Chengguo's heart was a little proud. Without a non-disclosure agreement, it will not have any impact on his future job search in the same industry. Thinking of this, I unconsciously took some more.
A few minutes later, Zhao Chengguo left the office with a box full of materials.
Outside, Liu Min, who had gone out before, disappeared, leaving only two security guards.
Liu Sheng's face was pale, and he couldn't look at Zhao Chengguo's behavior, and he was very angry in his heart. Some of those materials are related to Project A and Project X research, and he took them like that? Could it be that he still wants to continue to do those things that betrayed Wu Tian? Even if it is cut in two in the future, when separating, you should pay attention to some character, right?
"Zhao Chengguo......!" Liu Sheng couldn't help but stop the other party, and called the other party by his name, he used to call the other party 'Chengguo'. The change in title also shows the change in his attitude towards Zhao Chengguo. Disappointing, very disappointed.
Zhao Chengguo stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at Liu Sheng, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wu Tian looked at Liu Sheng coldly on the side, his eyes as if he was about to eat someone.
After coming into contact with Wu Tian's gaze, Liu Sheng trembled, and then stumbled and said to Zhao Chengguo, "No, it's nothing." Let's go! ”
Zhao Chengguo glanced at Liu Sheng strangely. Then he turned around and walked into the elevator.
"You're in the office." Wu Tian said coldly to Liu Sheng, "As for when you will be asked to go home and say goodbye to your family, I will inform you separately." ”
"Yes!" Liu Sheng lowered his head and walked into the office after hearing this, now he is a sinner, so he has no choice.
Wu Tian also walked into the elevator, but he didn't look at Zhao Chengguo, as if the other party didn't exist.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and Zhao Chengguo walked out. Wu Tian walked behind Zhao Chengguo and didn't say anything. His expression was cold, especially those eyes, which made people shudder.
When he walked to the front of the gate, Zhao Chengguo suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Wu Tian, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Wu." Wu Tian, can you give me back your phone? You can delete all the photos inside. ”
Delete? Wu Tian sneered in his heart, if he could suddenly delete it manually, then there would be no nude photos incidents.
Wu Tian took out Zhao Chengguo's mobile phone from his pocket. casually threw it into the box that Zhao Chengguo was holding. Zhao Chengguo was stunned, he didn't see Wu Tian delete the photos in his phone. What's going on? Aren't those photos important to Project A?
Zhao Chengguo didn't think much about it, turned around and walked out of the gate. Wu Tian also turned his back and didn't look at him.
The security door opened slowly. Zhao Chengguo walked out, and he glanced back at Wu Tian and saw that Wu Tian had already turned his back. Unconsciously sighed, after all, this is the place where he used to work, and it is impossible without a little emotion. From this day on, he has nothing to do with this place or the people here. When I think of this, I will also feel some sadness in my heart.
But soon, these sadness passed, after all, life has to go on, and he has to live, and this box of information is enough for him to live a superior life in the future. Thinking of this, Zhao Chengguo turned around and happily prepared to leave.
Just the moment he turned around, a van stopped in front of him, and before he could react to what was going on, the door of the van opened, and a masked man put his arm around his neck with one hand, and gambled his mouth with a white towel with the other.
When Zhao Chengguo was about to fall, Dahan carried him directly into the car. With a "snap", the car door closed and left quickly.
The whole process, only a few seconds, was so fast that even the passers-by around couldn't see it clearly.
Wu Tian stood still and didn't move, his eyes closed, he looked like he was basking in the sun, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart. I don't know if he saw the scene that happened just now, whether he knew it. His appearance, just like his expression, was cold, cold as if his whole body was frozen, like an ice sculpture.
After a few minutes, there was a sound of footsteps from behind Wu Tian, and I saw Liu Min, who had disappeared before, appear at this time, still holding a large box in his hand, which was full of books, and the most conspicuous thing was the mobile phone on the box.
Liu Sheng walked up to Wu Tian and put the box in his hand on the ground.
"Smack!"
"Everything is here." Liu Min said to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one from it and lit it, then took a deep breath, and his eyes opened.
He looked at the box on the ground for a moment, then crouched down and dumped all the books on the ground. He flipped through a few books, then took out a lighter, lit them, and when the books were on fire, he threw them into the box.
Wu Tian tore it while watching, and threw it directly into the box, letting it burn into ashes under the fire.
It took half an hour for such a box of things to burn all the books, and the plastic box had already been melted by the high temperature, emitting a foul smell.
Wu Tian picked up the last mobile phone, deleted all the photos inside, and then threw it into the fire, and then walked towards the Tianzheng Building.
"Bang!"
It didn't go far before an explosion sounded inside the fire, and although the explosion was not very powerful, it still blew up ashes.
After entering the elevator, Liu Min said to Wu Tian, "People have been arranged in the basement, and there is a special person to deliver meals every day......!" ”
"You can do it." Wu Tian said lightly.
"Yes!" Liu Min nodded, she knew that Zhao Chengguo's 'ignorance of lifting' made Wu Tian very angry and a little uncomfortable at the same time, so he didn't feel like he heard anything about Zhao Chengguo. In fact, if it wasn't a last resort, Zhao Chengguo would not have been imprisoned in the basement. However, compared with Liu Sheng's captivity, the conditions in which Zhao Chengguo lived were much worse, except for television, there was nothing.
"Tomorrow, you arrange for someone to take Liu Sheng to his home, say goodbye to his family, and then take him back to his office, and from now on he will not be allowed to leave the door of that office."
"I understand."
"Ding." The elevator stopped on the first floor of the Intelligence Department, but Wu Tian did not go out.
"You go back, I'm going back to the office to take a break." Wu Tian said to Liu Min.
Liu Min glanced at Wu Tian worriedly, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" For the sake of someone like that, it's not worth it. ”
"Yes, I know."
Liu Min looked at Wu Tian, who was expressionless, she knew that she couldn't listen to what she was saying now, so she couldn't get out of the elevator.
"Click!"
The elevator door slowly closed, and Wu Tian disappeared from her sight. (To be continued......)
