This is indeed the case. Lao Xu and the middle-aged man basically broke through the layer of paper that kept each other well aware of each other.
This is no longer something Hu Xiaodong can save and turn around.
All he can say now is pray that Lao Xu knows what he will do next.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will really be a fierce fight next.
"Understood!" Lao Xu definitely nodded, and then replied: "According to what the captain said, you mean that my real purpose of pulling up the team is to fight against you. You think I want to take away your Location? Is that what you mean?"
Without any tact, Lao Xu directly threw out this most obscure question.
As far as Lao Xu is concerned, there is nothing wrong with doing so.
Because when things got to this point, there was nothing to hide.
Now that the window paper has been pierced and the middle-aged man has expressed doubts about himself, what is the point of Lao Xu being secretive?
Of course Lao Xu was aware of the concerns of his brothers, but he knew that if a middle-aged man could identify himself as a "tiger" out of the "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers", the seriousness of this matter would no longer subside.
If he didn't face it head-on and the other party took advantage of this "tiger", how would the other party let him go again like they did in the morning?
In this case, a meaningless battle will begin in the stadium.
And this is absolutely bad news for gyms that have just gained some breathing space.
Lao Xu didn't want him to work hard to stabilize the situation because the middle-aged man had no reason to worry about ruining it.
Now that the matter has been exposed, let him break it more thoroughly.
Only in this way can Lao Xu be able to break through and stand up again if he understands his secret thoughts!
"Hmph, shouldn't I ask you this question, Lao Xu?" The voice was low, and the middle-aged man was indeed an old man. Lao Xu wanted to give the ball to the middle-aged man, calling him "Middle-aged" The person expresses his position, and then he makes a targeted reply.
But he never thought that the middle-aged man would kick the ball back to him.
In this case, Lao Xu no longer evaded: "I said I didn't mean to be a tiger. Captain, do you believe it?"
"It depends on whether you can give me a convincing reason!" Such a vague answer.
With these words, the middle-aged man still firmly grasps the initiative in his own hands.
To put it bluntly, this is a typical example of him building an archway despite being a pawn.
Because anyone with a discerning eye knows that the middle-aged man has actually determined that Lao Xu is the tiger, but in order to show his righteousness, he has to give Lao Xu a chance to explain.
But in fact, this person himself has already made plans and solutions for Lao Xu.
Hu Xiaodong stared at Old Xu nervously. It was obvious that if Old Xu's next explanation could not satisfy the middle-aged man...
How can you be satisfied? This final judgment is all in the hands of the middle-aged people. If the middle-aged people are determined to identify Lao Xu as a "tiger", then no matter how Lao Xu explains it, it will not change the middle-aged people's judgment.
This seemed like a dead end, and there was no other way. At this point, Hu Xiaodong could not reverse the situation. The only thing he could do was to hold the knife in his hand tightly like Lei Tong, and be ready for a fight that might come at any time.
"Explain? Captain, I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. I am doing this just for the gym. I have no other ideas except this. Although your position is good, I really have no interest."
"Haha, drunk people never say they are drunk. You said you don't want to do it? What's the reason? I don't believe you have no ambition. Lao Xu, I said I am very happy with you, you are a very capable person People. And the more capable people are, the less willing they are to be inferior to others. You said you are not interested in my position...do you think I will believe it?"
The middle-aged man's rhetorical question makes sense.
You Xu Renjie is a capable person. If you are capable, why don't you have the idea of seizing power?
This is not in line with universal values, or in other words, it is not in line with the values of middle-aged people.
This is not surprising. The main reason why a middle-aged man thinks this way is because he doesn't understand Xu Renjie.
He didn't know the latter's true identity, let alone the environment in which this man grew up.
It was naturally unreasonable for him to use his own thoughts to guess Xu Renjie's thoughts.
But how can such a thing be reasonable in the current situation?
Facing the middle-aged man's self-righteous inquiry, Lao Xu sighed softly: "First of all, I have to thank the captain for his appreciation of me. If you hadn't promoted me, I would still be a survivor locked up in the museum. As for Talking about ambition... Captain, I can understand that you will question me. But I am really not interested in your position. If you ask me the reason, it is very simple! Sitting in your position has too many things to worry about. As the saying goes, it is not in your position. I am not a person who likes to make decisions, nor am I accustomed to management. The current crisis in the library concerns everyone's lives, including my own. You may not like what I say next. , but in order to explain, I still have to say, I hope the captain can give me this opportunity."
"Haha, you say it!" It was just two words, but the middle-aged man's laughter revealed the meaning as if he said: I'll see how you live in vain.
"Captain, I'm coming out now to put it bluntly because I'm not at ease with the brothers in the inspection and management team. You didn't know the situation in the hall before. It stands to reason that zombies have broken into the venue. What should the law enforcement management team in the hall do? Should we rush in? Deal with the zombies at the front? We don’t talk about protecting the survivors below, nor do we talk about protecting the safety of the venue. Just for you, shouldn’t they rush out and fight the zombies?”
"But what's the reality? I'm down there, and what I see is that these guys are running faster and faster than the survivors! What do you think this team can do when it's really in crisis?"
"Captain, do you really think that they can defend this stadium? To be honest, if it weren't for me and two brothers fighting desperately down there, I don't know how many people would have died in this stadium! Maybe... In that case, I Don’t want to assume!”
"I'm not saying this to show how capable I am, Lao Xu. I actually just want to live a stable life. I don't have any ambitions. I came to the gym by fighting hard outside. Captain, if you have experienced my difficulties outside, Survive life and you will understand the truth of what I say. As people like us who are worried about living in an abandoned city, it is extremely satisfying to have a safe shelter in the gymnasium. We can have no worries about food and clothing here. Living a life is something I never dared to think about in the past. If there was no other way, I wouldn't want to come out and do the task you gave me, captain."
"Others may be envious of my current position and think that I am just lucky. Not long after I came to the gym, I was selected by you to inspect the management team. I know that this status is something that many people want to obtain in sports. Later, After the incident, you promoted me to peripheral surveillance, and now you directly entrust me with the task of maintaining stability in the museum, but..."
