When I woke up again, my eyes could barely open a slit.
“Where is this me?” I tried to speak, but when I opened my mouth, my throat hurt as if broken gla*s had been pulled through it, and I couldn’t make any sound.
A little later, a light came on in the darkened room, and footsteps came from the left, and then Lin Fang stared down at me a few times to check, and said, “Still awake.”
“No need to wait for him to wake up, he can die in his sleep.”
The voice made my heart stutter because it was very familiar, it was Liu Rong’s voice!
How was he good enough to be here?
I suspected I had misheard because the medicine hadn’t completely worn off and my ears had been buzzing with tinnitus and the person’s voice sounded distorted.
But soon, my doubts were dispelled; the man was Ryu Rong.
Lin Fang said, “Mr Liu, we already have him in our hands, he can’t get away, he’s definitely in your palm. You’ve been tossed around by him this time, the company was investigated for accounts and I heard that quite a few of your subordinates were found to have problems, while the branch you manage was also found to be the most problematic. These matters will soon be brought up for discussion at the shareholders’ meeting and the branch you manage may be taken over by the group directly. These things can be said to have ruined your whole life’s career, are you willing to let him die in your dreams? ”
How could Lin Fang know these things?
Old Gan would tell me these things every night in his work reports, but I never told anyone.
Liu Rong was as surprised as I was: “You know a lot. You say I hate him, but I think it’s you who hate him more than I do, you just want to pick up my hand to torture him.”
Lin Fang said ruefully, “I loved him so much and he didn’t accept it. Do you want me to forget him? But I can’t forget him. I can’t go back anymore.”
“Little girl, I’m not interested in getting involved in your love-hate relationship with Zhang Chao, I just want to tell you that Zhang Chao is not an ordinary person, he’s not that easy to deal with. If you think he is nothing but a straw man who is nothing but the young proprietor of Junran, then you are wrong. I once paid a terrible price for thinking the same as you do. This kid, kill him in your dreams, one beheading and no worries.”
At this point I could gradually feel the temperature of my hands and feet, and my limbs and bones were beginning to feel, and I tried to keep my consciousness focused on feeling the presence of my hands and feet and resisting the effects of the ecstasy. Even if I was poisoned, a special soldier’s body, which had been refined over thousands of years, would be able to detoxify the poison more easily than an ordinary person.
Liu Rong was very eager to kill me, and with Lin Fang, he couldn’t stop him. Maybe Lin Fang didn’t even want to stop. She claimed to like me, yet she found my enemies to take my life, is there such a liking in the world?
Sure enough, Liu Rong suddenly stood up, the chair fell over as he was violently pushed to the floor with a violent movement, and then I heard him seem to untie a piece of rope from the coiled shaft and walk towards me.
Before I had time to curse in my mind, I felt a loop of rope around my neck, as if to tighten it. Although I could move my arms and legs now, I still had little strength, so if I resisted I was no match for Liu Rong, but was I just going to watch myself being strangled to death?
Liu Rong didn’t look like he was going to hesitate at all, he tested the sturdiness of the rope and exhaled above my head.
“Zhang Chao, your father and I are sort of close friends, and I’m also considered your uncle. If you hadn’t been hoodwinked by those two people, Han Kun and Gan Ling, into making an enemy of me, I would have tried to take good care of his orphan for that brother of mine. Don’t blame me, blame Han Kun if you want.”
Sh*t! He said that as if I had forced him to do those shameful things, shameless people are really good at excusing themselves.
Probably because it was the first time he killed someone, Liu Rong was under a lot of psychological pressure, and he hesitated again, “Zhang Chao, don’t hate me when you get down there. I did save your father’s life, but I didn’t get him back in the end. Han Kun and a few of them disagreed and had to let your dad die, I tried my best ……”
My head buzzed, I heard the words very clearly, there was no way I could have misheard them.
If the first two times Liu Rong could have deliberately lied to me, but there was no need to do so this time, he was determined to kill me, there was no need to lie to a dying man.
But what did Ryu Rong mean by that? Could it be that Han Kun was the one who killed my father?
No way! Ryu Rong had said that Han Kun had always liked my mother and had been looking after me for my mother’s last wish, so even if he might have designed to kill my father, he couldn’t have designed to kill my mother.
Lin Fang was also surprised and asked in a low voice, “Zhang Chao’s parents were killed by Han Kun? This Han Kun Zhang Chao and I had said was someone who treated him better than family.”
Liu Rong cut out, “Han Kun was ruthless and ruthless in his actions. At that time, the company was facing a huge crisis and only with Zhang Jun’s death could we get rid of the internal and external problems at that time, which I did not approve of. I didn’t agree with this. I didn’t know Zhang Jun as well as they did, but we were decent people, so I couldn’t do anything like killing or setting fire to him. Of course, I didn’t want to see Jun Ran get as big as he has. I was in favour of admitting defeat and giving up some profit, as long as I could keep the company alive. But Han Kun and his gang didn’t think so… Yes, Han Kun is really talented and much more ruthless than me.
No way, he was talking nonsense, Uncle Han was definitely not the kind of person he said he was.
I shouted in my heart, but at the same time I was at a loss, was Han Kun really not that kind of person?
Lin Fang said, “What’s the matter? You have to let the company owner die to get through it? It’s impossible, the death of a company’s legal person is a major upheaval and will affect the share price.”
“Junran wasn’t even listed then, so what does it matter if you believe it or not? Oh, just think of it as just a story. Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao, you are to blame for being too smart and unlucky. If you were just a dumba*s at the mercy of others, you might have lived to old age in peace. You because this is a fight between me and the company? Hey, you’re involved in a fight that’s been going on for 20 years. Your father didn’t get through it, and you even less so. I’m doing you a favour by sending you away today, and maybe you’ll live to suffer more and lose more.”
He rambled on for a while and then began to gather the noose. My desire to survive made me subconsciously want to pull on the rope, but at the same time, my long-trained instincts were reminding me that my body hadn’t recovered yet and I had to win in one blow, otherwise if I let Ryu Rong find out I was awake, I would lose my chance to counterattack and win completely.
The muscles in my body were spasming with fear, something I couldn’t control, but luckily the light in the room was so dim that Ryu Rong could barely see.
