Chapter 58: Two Paths

"Chen Mo, what are your plans next?" Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Chen Bicheng asked.

"What can I do, I'll die when I go back, right?"

Chen Bicheng nodded, "As soon as you go back, the battle situation involved is too variable, and Yan Yi doesn't dare not kill you." And Lan Beiwang that old fox, the bad thing is that he is too cautious, if he directly takes you back to protect you, that's another story. But then...... As long as I deny that you are my son, it's a big deal to do a paternity test and throw it on the high round platform, hahahaha, wouldn't that be fun. ”

"If that's the case, I'll be able to get out of your vortex and resume my status as an ordinary person."

Chen Bicheng sighed, "If you kill the assassin sent by Yan Yi, will he let you go?" I've heard that the female assassins that Hikoichi raised for him are like his own concubines, especially the thousand-faced 'Violet', who can change whoever he wants, and I've heard that Hikoichi loves her very much. ”

I stared at the man in front of me, my nails digging into the flesh, gritted my teeth and asked him, "So, my life and death are all in your hands now, right?" ”

"Well, you finally understand, it really took me a lot of words." After speaking, Chen Bicheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and after putting it down, he continued, "Let you understand the current situation and then talk about what you should do." I have prepared two paths for you, you see, is my titular father good to you? ”

"Which two paths."

Chen Bicheng pointed to the ground, "First, let Lan Kexin die here, and go back to be our pawn." With your skills as a female assassin, it would be easy to take Lan Kexin's life. ”

"Impossible!"

"Don't be too busy saying no, I'll tell you about the benefits of doing so. Lan Kexin's death shows your determination to be obedient to Yan Yi. In the future, as long as you follow our requirements, pull which faction to fight which faction, and finally exhaust the family funds of the twelve families, you and Wuxiang are married, and they are all happy. ”

"Don't say it, impossible is impossible."

"I knew you would refuse," Chen Bicheng spread his hands indifferently, "Then let's talk about the second way." I introduced you to my friend here, you follow him, and when you come back from the limelight, no one can touch you! I can even secretly give you resources and connections, but you have to promise me that you will take revenge on Hikochi when you return home! ”

I looked at him with wide eyes, "What are you talking about?" Aren't you and Hikochi in an alliance? ”

Chen Bicheng's mouth rose and showed a cold smile, "I'm really determined to form an alliance with him, and I should kill you now." ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "You're trying to make me your stake?" Won't Hikoichi doubt it? ”

"The Huangcheng family can't take care of it yet. Moreover, you can form a gang here under the banner of my son, and it will inevitably be left and right. This was originally the banner that Hikoichi gave you, so you don't have to use it in vain. ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, "I always feel a little disgusting." ”

"Hahaha, anyway, I'm alone, and I don't mind taking in a cheap son like you."

"I don't mind."

"How about this proposal?"

I pondered for a moment, "It's a good idea, it's just...... The road is too difficult. ”

Chen Bicheng frowned, "I found that you are not very old, why are you so unambitious?" Do you really think it's okay to live a lifetime? If I could get this opportunity at your age, I would have grabbed it and climbed up. Even if a woman like Lan Kexin will die. ”

"So, you will be Chen Bicheng."

"Chen Mo, rejecting mediocrity should be a man's instinct. Don't you want to go back early to be with your family? And you have Lan Kexin by your side who is so willing to die for you, and that talented assassin, I am afraid that you have walked this road many times better than I did back then! ”

I was silent for a long time, and finally nodded heavily, "Okay! ”

Chen Bicheng smiled with satisfaction, as if all my choices today were within his expectations. "Remember, no one can trust in the future, and no one can believe in it. You can believe it, only this! ”

He pulled a gun out of his jacket and slowly pushed it in front of me. That gaze was cold and gloomy.

When I put the gun away, Chen Bicheng flicked it at me and snuffed out the cigar, "After that, Lan Kexin will become a bridge between us, you go out and let her in, and I will tell her something." I nodded and got up, and Chen Bicheng's voice came from behind, "Chen Mo, I'll give you a word at the end." From today on, the place where you stand is no longer a school, a society, a workplace, or a river and lake, but a ...... Battlefield! ”

……

On the way back, Peony sat in Lan Kexin's car with us, and the three of us were crowded in the back row together. I sat between the two girls, looking at the gun that Chen Bicheng had given me, my fingers running over the hilt, the touch cold.

Lan Kexin looked at me worriedly, his eyes were full of reluctance, and Chen Bicheng said the conversation with me again without reservation. What woman would be willing to let her beloved man embark on such a path?

"Go back...... Teach me how to use a gun. I said to Peony.

"Good!" Unlike Lan Kexin, the corners of Peony's mouth are always slightly raised.

The next day, Lan Kexin and I said goodbye at the door of the hotel.

She put her arms around my waist and buried her head in my arms, her eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked, "I'm sorry...... It's all my fault, I didn't think it through at that time, which led to this result. ”

I touched her head and comforted, "At least he gave me a chance to become a man worthy of you." ”

"No matter who you are, you are my favorite person Lan Kexin."

Peony had already appeared behind us at some point, leaning against the wall next to the hotel door with her hands on her chest, with a cold and cruel expression.

Lan Kexin bowed deeply to her and said, "Chen Mo will ask you in the future, please...... Be sure to protect him. ”

"I'm not very good at protecting people," Peony said, "but ...... I could kill all the people who threatened him. ”

……

Looking at the distant car shadow, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Lan Kexin's original intention was to stay here for a while longer, but in the future, my contact with Chen Bicheng must be conveyed, and Lan Kexin is one of the few people I can trust. She must return to China as soon as possible and convey Chen Bicheng's words to me at any time.

Peony patted me on the shoulder, "Let's go, she's waiting for us." ”

Then I followed Peony to a clearing surrounded by buildings, and as I stepped into this shadow, I saw the short-haired woman waiting for us, Chen Bicheng's bodyguard.

She handed me a thick file bag and said, "This is something that must be promised to you, the person has already been contacted, you can just follow the above to find him." I'm going to stay here for a while and teach Peony some 'tricks'. ”

Teaching peony is fake, and observing and inspecting me is true.

"I know what you're thinking," said the woman, "and I can't rule out that there was such a purpose. However, it is equally important to train Peony. At her current level, an ordinary mercenary assassin might not be a problem, but if she really met those people from the 'Alliance', it would not be enough to see it. ”

I nodded, "We're on the receiving side now, thank you anyway." By the way, I don't know your name yet. ”

"Rehagi Abach, you can call me Sister Hagi."
