40 Two men in a secret meeting
In the evening, the VIP meeting room of the Colorful Reef Tavern.
According to the appointed time, Sun Linsheng had already come to the tavern with great anticrisy to wait for Roquere's arrival.
In order to avoid being disrespectful, he deliberately placed the treasure musket [Shark Hunting], which he regarded as his life, in the item safe at the door.
In fact, there is no need to place weapons outside the door when holding a meeting of less than five chairmen, after all, even the best allies are likely to suddenly become enemies with swords due to conflicts of interest, so it is allowed to wear weapons when holding such small meetings or private meetings, and it is not a matter of etiquette.
However, Sun Linsheng firmly believed that Roquere, who was known as the strongest man in District 3 and the strongest guild leader in District 3, could not be this kind of villain with a knife behind his back, so he had to meet this person with a corresponding attitude.
He looked at the clock on the wall, and it was exactly eight o'clock.
"This way, please!" The sweet voice of the waitress came from outside the door.
He swallowed and took a sip of the tea on the table, trying to suppress his heart from jumping out of his throat.
Although I was happy, I was more worried and uneasy.
Just yesterday, in the process of leading the guild members out of the battlefield, he experienced a brief exchange with the sudden appearance of Roquere, and it was at the moment when he really came into close contact with Roquere that he suddenly stood in awe of the man in front of him!
Even he didn't understand the reason for the sudden appearance of this mentality, and even began to regret that he participated in that 'assault operation'!
(Will Mr. Luo walk into the conference room angrily and angrily scold me for participating in the assault?) If he is silent, how can I be the first to ask my questions? He thought to himself, and he couldn't help but think of the various expressions that might have appeared on Roquere's face when he entered the room!
'Squeak! The door to the conference room was pushed open.
"Mr. Sun is already waiting for you inside, I wish you a happy meeting~" The waitress smiled and bowed to the two, and then exited the door.
The hot air mixed with the smell of alcohol blew through the crack in the door, and the noise outside the door followed, and the moment the door closed, it was silent again, as quiet as a secluded forest hut.
"Hello, little grandson!" Roclay smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Ahh Oh! Hello! Sun Linsheng was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that Mr. Luo would appear in front of him with a more stern and rigid face, but he didn't expect that he was no different from other ordinary middle-aged uncles at this time!
A cheeky smile, a slightly wrinkled forehead, a stubble on the chin that isn't completely shaved, and a shirt that forgot to button up... There is no such thing as the depressing aura and terrifying face that we had when we met yesterday.
"Didn't delay your work, did you?" Roquere said and sat down next to Sun Linsheng.
"Which... Where the words! I specially invited Mr. Luo to meet, and it is my job to entertain you today! He became excited, and his body couldn't help but step forward.
"Huh? You're sweating a lot..."
"Huh? Yes? Oh! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!! Sun Linsheng hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.
Facing Mr. Luo in front of him, Sun Linsheng didn't know how to speak. Although it was Mr. Luo who he took the initiative to invite, he was so nervous at this time that he didn't know how to speak first!
"You've got a pretty good group of men!" Mr. Luo said suddenly.
"Huh? Everywhere, it's just a group of unknown juniors! Sun Linsheng was a little puzzled by his speech.
It's a bit far-fetched if it's a polite word when you meet, but it's a bit abrupt to think of it as a genuine compliment.
"When one person has a meeting, the whole family goes out~ It is difficult to cultivate such subordinates who care about the president!" He smiled and cocked Erlang's legs, his eyes glancing in the direction of the door.
Sun Linsheng instantly understood the meaning of these words.
As early as an hour ago, Nana, who was the vice president of the [Sea Priest], led fifty warriors of the guild in civilian clothes to enter the colorful coral reef as tavern customers, and sat around this conference room in an encirclement formation, if Sun Linsheng's distress signal came from the conference room, they would unsheath their knives as soon as possible and rescue their elder.
"Really, what a faux pas! I'm going to drive them all back! He stood up excitedly, knocking the chair behind him to the ground with too much force.
"No need!" Mr. Luo stretched out his hand to stop him, "To be honest, I'm very relieved!" ”
"Really... I'm really sorry! Sun Linsheng lowered his head and apologized.
"You should be proud." Mr. Luo continued, "Yesterday, I learned that you voluntarily chose to retreat unconditionally without being bought off by our guild. After you told me about the purpose of the retreat, I thought you were a good president! ”
As he spoke, he handed the cigarette case in his hand to Sun Linsheng.
"Thank you, I don't smoke~" he waved his hand.
"In the face of the temptation of great interests and powerful enemies, he can make rational judgments, and he does not hesitate to give up the honor of the well-known president to make a nest move to escape, in order to ensure the safety of the guild members." Mr. Luo exclaimed.
"I don't deny this, all along, I have indeed pursued the purpose of Elder Hex's governance, and carried out all actions with the safety of guild members as the first condition." He nodded.
At this point, Sun Linsheng seems quite confident, after all, this is his true idea, and it is also the development policy that he has always strongly admired.
"Speaking of which, that old guy from Hex is really a good old man!" Mr. Luo took a deep breath of his cigarette, then exhaled it, and the white mist was shrouded in the top of his head.
"Mr. Luo!" Sun Linsheng suddenly straightened up, his expression slightly serious.
"Huh?"
"I have a few questions about the 'tsunami' incident 20 years ago!"
He seized the opportunity of the topic and finally said what he wanted to ask at this meeting.
"I see." Mr. Luo took a deep breath and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
"You... Would you like to share it with me? Cold sweat broke out on Sun Linsheng's forehead, as nervous as a prisoner waiting for trial.
"It's nothing, after all, there's no rule that you can't talk about things that used to happen." He smiled, "It's just that before I answer your questions, I want to know what you want to know about them?" ”
"Oh, that's right!" Sun Linsheng was in awe, and his expression jumped on his face with excitement, "I participated in the 'Deep Sea Breakthrough Operation' with the elder when I was a child, which was later known as the 'Tsunami Incident'. As a first-hand witness of that action, I also deeply appreciate the strangeness of the existence of this concentration camp and this absurd world that we have been living in all along! ”
"Like the other radicals, I believe that the day will come when the people here will be able to get out of the concentration camps! So, to this day, I'm still hoping that someone will find a way out of the camps! ”
"But," he lowered his head, his tone a little low, "our strength was too weak, and even at the peak of that time, our guild was not able to become the leader of that operation, and even lost our old leader in the final stage of infighting..."
