Zhong Shu really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot this time.

He was bent on fulfilling his love's wish and cultivating a group of cronies for his love, but he didn't know that he had done me a great favor by doing him so.

Deng Fei and I glanced at each other, and at the angle that the thorns couldn't see, they both gently pulled the corners of their mouths, and the thorns, who didn't know all this, were still talking to me endlessly: "Except for those ignorant people, the clear-eyed people know that the purpose of the boss is to do this, for fear that these people will recognize your strength like the previous group of people. ”

Seeing it, Thorn was really dissatisfied with Zhong Shu's approach, otherwise he wouldn't have said this in front of so many people.

I gently patted him on the shoulder and reassured him, "Forget it, it's come to this, what else can I do?" What's more, this club was built by me for the eldest young master, and the eldest young master will have to take it away sooner or later, I don't care, I think about it, I will take the blame and resign when I see the eldest young master for a while, since no matter what I do, Uncle Zhong is not willing to believe me, then I might as well be my ordinary person, and when I have no power and power, and I can't go to the training camp, I guess he should be able to rest assured of me. ”

Thorn asked with a regretful face, "Do you really want to resign?" ”

I nodded, smiled and said, "You know, I'm not a person chasing fame and fortune in the first place, and it's a good thing for me to be able to retire early and live an idyllic life." But don't worry, although I can't be loyal to Uncle Zhong and them with you, but the relationship between the two of us is still there, as long as you don't dislike you, Brother Ming, I am a flat-headed commoner, the door of my house will always be open for you. ”

Thorn hurriedly said, "How can I dislike you? You have a life-saving grace for me, brotherly love, in my eyes, you are really the best person in the world for me, whether you are an ordinary person in the future, or continue to serve the invincible empire with me, you will always be my brother. ”

Thorn's expression was very serious when he spoke, I could feel it, what he said was heartfelt, it was not untouched in my heart, but my reason always overrode the moved, I clearly knew that the relationship between the two of us could collapse at any time, so I didn't dare to invest too much true feelings in this brotherhood.

I smiled, raised my glass, and hypocritically said, "In that case, then I wish our friendship to last forever." ”

Thorn hurriedly raised his glass, clinked glasses with me, and said movingly, "Well, I wish our friendship to last forever." ”

After we took a sip of wine, I started tapping on the side, and from his mouth, I knew a lot of things that I didn't know. It turned out that Zhong Qing had gone back to the training camp half a month ago, and then the news came that Ba Lemanmen was destroyed, but no one knew who was behind it.

I couldn't help but be a little puzzled and shocked, how could the Balemon Gate be destroyed? According to the plan that I agreed with Zhong Qing, Ba Le should be killed by the president during Zhong Shu's absence, and Zhong Qing took the opportunity to attack this president and provoke the latter's revenge nerves, so as to make the entire training camp a mess.

But Ba Le died, died without any movement, and the president did not move at all, who did this? Is it because you can't hold your breath, or is something wrong?

At this time, a guess suddenly popped up in my mind, that is, the president was likely to be obedient to Zhongqing in order to protect Mingzhe's life, so Zhongqing decided to keep him and solve Ba Le by himself. If that were the case, all my plans would be disrupted.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Thorn asked with some curiosity: "Brother Ming, what are you thinking, you are thinking so intently." ”

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little curious, Ba Le also has a lot of power, and he died so silently, it's really incredible to think about it, and besides, the whole family is destroyed...... The methods of this murderer are too cruel, if I remember correctly, Bale's daughter must have been born less than a month ago......"

Speaking of which, I can't help but feel compassion, I have never liked the way of revenge of killing everything, in my opinion, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, and I have never done anything to destroy the door.

Thorn's eyes darkened, and he said bitterly, "Is it ruthless?" In our Invincible Empire, this kind of annihilation can happen a lot. ”

He said this in a low voice, probably because he was afraid that others would hear it and would retreat, and if Zhong Qing knew that he was chewing his tongue behind his back, he would definitely not be able to spare him.

I frowned slightly, didn't speak, Thorn continued: "After all, you haven't been here for a long time, so it's normal to not know a lot of things, let me tell you this, in the Invincible Empire, as long as you let the boss find any signs that make him feel that you are not completely loyal, you will not be far from being raided and destroyed, and the four presidents are a little better, after all, they have all shared weal and butter with the boss, and they have always been loyal to the boss, so even if they have any disrespect for the young master, they will not end up in a ruined situation, but what about the others?" Scold...... As long as you are caught in pigtails, even if the evidence is insufficient, even if you just do something wrong for a while, you may be killed. ”

I was a little surprised and said, "You mean, the destruction of the Bale family is also from ......."

I didn't finish, but he definitely understood what I meant, and he smiled wryly and said, "What do you say?" Except for the boss and the eldest young master, who else did this, and he won't pursue it? ”

I nodded thoughtfully, and didn't say anything more, but my heart was very heavy, no matter who was behind this, one thing was certain, that is, it was impossible for me to use this incident to provoke chaos in the training camp, if so, then the plan I just told them would not be realized.

If this clock book calls me over and gives me a cup of poisoned wine, I'm afraid I won't have a reason not to drink it.

Thinking of this, my heart is in a mess, it's really unlucky, I knew that I wouldn't say that I would train outside for a month, say a week or something, come back early, maybe I can stop this from happening, but it's too late to say anything now.

This is the way things are in this world, and the slightest deviation can lead to a big mistake and cause a disaster. Since the disaster is coming, I will either run away or face it, but I don't run in my dictionary!

At this time, Thorn said with some hesitation: "Brother Ming, I suddenly have an idea, I don't know if you will adopt it, but I still want to say it." ”

I asked, "What do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

He said: "I will first say that the reason why I have this idea is absolutely not my selfishness, but really thinking about you. I think you are very dangerous now, you may really not understand the boss's methods, if he doubts you again and again, even if you are really innocent, he will not keep you, even if the eldest young master protects you, even if you resign, but your strength is there, so I am worried about ......"

He didn't finish his next words, and I knew that he didn't dare to say it too clearly, so I half-narrowed my eyes and said, "You want me to escape?" ”

Thorn nodded and said, "Yes, you just want to live anyway, in that case, where to live is not to live?" You can go to Europe, you can go to Africa, and it's really too dangerous to stay in the invincible empire any longer. ”

I could see that Thorn was really worried about me, so he tried his best to dissuade me from leaving, after all, he had a deep understanding of Zhong Shu's punishment methods, and he knew Zhong Shu's cruelty and bloodiness very well, so he persuaded me like this.

In the past, I thought that Thorn was loyal to Zhong Shu, foolish and loyal, but after I became familiar with it, I realized that he was "afraid of loyalty", that is, he was loyal to Zhong Shu because he was afraid, and he was afraid of Zhong Shu's revenge from the bottom of his bones, so afraid that he did not dare to have the slightest betrayal.

But he is like this, but he dares to muster up the courage to persuade me to escape, this is definitely not something that a loyal minister would do, which also shows that Zhong Shu's status in his heart is no longer as good as mine.

At this moment, my heart was really moved and guilty, for his true feelings for me, and for my deception of him. I looked at him, smiled, and said, "I know you're doing it for my good, but ...... I can't run, especially after the two of us have met, if I run, Uncle Zhong will probably suspect you, and maybe you will be harsh on you for not taking a good look at me, so I can't go. ”

Thorn frowned, and said: "You don't have to worry about me, what am I, the boss knows very well, he knows that I don't have the courage to betray him, and he wouldn't have thought that I would dare to persuade you to escape, as for me coming here, you are the first leader, I am the second in command, you are back, I came over and said two words, shouldn't I come over and say two words?" ”

I thought what a fool, he probably thought I was staying for him, but how could I tell him I couldn't go? Just as I was thinking about how to answer him, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then I saw Zhong Zhong in a suit and leather shoes walking in from outside.

Thorn immediately stood up and shouted respectfully, "Young Master." ”

We all stood up and said hello to Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, Thorn quickly gave up his seat to Zhong Qing at this time, Zhong Qing sat next to me, I smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the young master yet." ”

Zhong Qing smiled and said, "Congratulations to me?" ”

I said, "I heard from Thorn that you've sent those fighters who lost to our underground boxing stadium to the training camp, and now you have so many trustworthy men, isn't it worth congratulating?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhong's expression was also full of pride, he said: "This is all thanks to my godfather, without my godfather, these people would not be so easy to surrender to me." ”

I'm thinking you're pretty self-aware.

I hurriedly patted my ass and said: "Uncle Zhong personally went out on the horse, naturally no one dares to be disobedient, unlike me, I spent a lot of effort and coaxed to deceive these people to let these people stay in the underground boxing stadium, where is like Uncle Zhong, one step in place, or how to say that Jiang is still old and spicy." ”

Zhong Qing smiled, as if he had thought of something, and looked at me with some pity, I asked, "Young Master, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Zhong Qing nodded and said, "I have a few words to tell you." ”

After speaking, he looked at the thorns and said, "You all go out first, and Chen Ming and I have something to talk about alone." ”

They immediately got up and left, I pointed at Deng Fei and them, and said: "Young Master, they are all very talented people, and their shooting ability is by no means below me now, and with them by your side in the future, I will be able to live my idle days with wild cranes with confidence." ”

Zhong Qing looked at me with some surprise, and only reacted half-loudly, and asked, "Chen Ming, what do you mean by this?" ”

I smiled and said, "I've already thought about it, since Uncle Zhong is not at ease with me anyway, then I should take the initiative to resign, you can make fun of me, after all, I always use this method to escape punishment, but I hope you can understand me, I have always just wanted to live, I feel that I should repay the favor now, and you don't need me anymore, so I want to be an ordinary person and live a free life." ”

After saying that, I patted my pocket and joked: "Thanks to you, I have earned enough money in this pocket, so I want to be a 'deserter', and I ask for your approval." ”

Zhong Qing frowned and said seriously: "Chen Ming, did you misunderstand something?" Do you think my godfather wants to do something to you? ”

I smiled helplessly and said: "I know that I don't have the ability to change Uncle Zhong's prejudice against me, even if he doesn't have that kind of idea today, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have it in the future." Young Master, I treat you as my boss and as my friend, so I dare to tell you this, even if Uncle Zhong really doesn't have the intention of harming me, but this feeling of not being trusted is not so pleasant. ”

After a pause, I said, "But don't worry, young master, even if I resign, as long as you need me, I will definitely appear by your side." ”

Zhong Qing frowned and said in a deep voice, "I don't agree. ”

I said, "Then I'll go to Uncle Zhong and say that I believe he will agree." ”

It's the first time I've talked to Zhong Qing like this, he was a little surprised, and a little angry, probably thinking that I wasn't very obedient, but this also showed that I really didn't want to do it, Zhong Qing was silent for a long time, sighed, and said: "Don't worry, my godfather really doesn't have that kind of idea about you, the reason why he arranged the underground boxing arena like this is nothing more than to let everyone know that I have enough ability, instead of relying on you all the time." ”

I frowned slightly, and from these words, I got a message, that is, someone was likely to say something in front of them, and Zhong Shu had to help Zhong Qing in order to save his face.

In order to verify what I thought in my heart, I pretended to be wronged and said, "Young Master, how can you think so? I'm your subordinate, and the author is all for you, even if others think I'm capable? I have excellent ability, but I am willing to serve you, doesn't that mean that you are better? ”

My love for this sycophant was very comfortable, his expression softened a lot, and he smiled at me and said: "I know that you are loyal to me, but you can think so, but others will not see it this way, the training camp is far away from the rumors that I rely on you, otherwise nothing will be accomplished, and when you take ten people away and train them, that rumor is even more rampant." ”

I thought that someone was really making a hindrance from it, this rumor must be led by someone, and Zhong Shu is not so stupid, it is impossible not to know the catty in it, but once this rumor rises, he cares more about the reputation damage caused to his godson by me who caused the rumor, rather than the mastermind behind the scenes, plus he has always distrusted me, so he wants to get rid of me.

Zhong Qing said at this time: "Let's not mention this, anyway, you don't have this kind of idea, just now I also talked to my godfather, he said that he knew that you worked hard for me, and he already believed you, and said that he had no ill will towards you, so, you take back what you just said, I don't want to lose a talent." ”

Looking at the sincere smile, my heart "chuckled", and I finished thinking.

In fact, I said to resign at the beginning, just to test him, if he agreed, or said that he wanted to ask Zhong Shu for advice, then it proves that Zhong Shu has not firmly wanted to harm me at this time, and I still have a period of time to prepare, but if he refuses me, it means that I am in danger, because this obviously does not give me a chance to hide and escape.

Moreover, when Zhong Qing called before, he clearly told me that all this was what Zhong Shu meant, and Zhong Shu listened to the villain's slander, and after a long time, he suddenly changed his words, saying that Zhong Shu is willing to believe me, heh, since Zhong Shu has always doubted me, how can he suddenly believe me? This guy obviously fooled me for a fool.

This also shows that Zhong Shu may have made up his mind to solve me in the near future, so let Zhong Qing stabilize me.

Thinking of this, I was depressed for a while, I originally thought that love had at least a little true affection for me, but now I understand that it was my wishful thinking, this guy chose to abandon me without hesitation, I thought that I was really naïve enough, and I even expected this kind of garbage to be moved, and I didn't know his true face for a day or two.

Cleaning up the resentment in my heart, I pretended to struggle with my thoughts, and said helplessly: "Since the eldest young master has said so, I will listen to you and just stay, but in order to avoid suspicion, I am not going to take care of anything in the club and the underground boxing stadium in the future, especially the underground boxing stadium. ”

This is definitely a great thing for love, so it is too late for him to be happy, how can he disagree, he immediately said: "Since you have made up your mind, then it is up to you." By the way, my godfather said, you have worked so hard to train my subordinates, our father and son should reward you well, he asked me to take time to take you back to receive the reward, by the way, we have a meal, a drink, chat, and talk about all the unpleasantness before. ”

I "chuckled" again in my heart, thinking that the danger was really coming, but since he said the reason so high-sounding, I couldn't refuse, so I was flattered and said: "That's not necessary, I just did what I did, and I'm very happy that Uncle Zhong can trust me." ”

Who knows, Zhong Qing said stubbornly: "This is not good, you also know, this rumor must have been maliciously made by someone, Godfather let you go, on the one hand, to reward you, and on the other hand, I want to take the opportunity to tell the person behind it that we will not distrust you because of that little slander, so you must go." ”

I'm thinking about fucking you, what I say is better than what I sing, isn't it just trying to kidnap me and send me to death?

I said, "In that case, let's go over when we have time, and we can't live up to your and Uncle Zhong's good intentions." ”

Zhong Qing smiled and said: "It's better to hit the day than tomorrow." ”

I was quite anxious, nodded my head, and I said, "Okay." ”

Zhong Qing put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, what did the eldest young master tell me just now?" Is that what is it? ”

Zhong Qing shook his head and said lightly: "No, what I want to say is about Ba Le." ”
