Lies cannot last forever. Lies will be exposed at some point, but sooner or later.
However, Xu Renjie is almost certain that the current prevarication cannot continue.
Once her side successfully escapes from the building and returns to the survivors' base camp, Tang Qian will propose to Xu Renjie the idea of seeing her brother. What will Xu Renjie explain to Tang Qian then? ?
At that time, explain to Tang Qian that what I told you before was all lies to stabilize your mood. In fact, your brother is not at the venue, but outside the venue.
As long as you follow us honestly and do as I say, you can see Tang Xiaoquan when you go out.
To be honest, at that time, would Tang Qian believe what Xu Renjie said anymore?
The price of deception is high.
It is very difficult to re-establish the trust of others after you have been poked and dragged once.
Perhaps in order to see her brother, Tang Qian would trust Xu Renjie.
But as Xu Renjie, he didn't dare to take this risk, and he couldn't bear to take it.
Not to mention too much, everything Tang Qian has experienced in the past speaks for itself.
She, a little girl, was subjected to such nasty and despicable things by those gangsters in this gym. The harm to a girl, especially a young girl, is self-evident.
Now that he knows that his brother is still alive, if Xu Renjie uses this matter to look forward to Tang Qian, even if he has good intentions, once the matter is exposed and falls on Tang Qian, he will not delve into the meaning of Xu Renjie's actions, nor will he think You Xu Renjie did this for her own good.
The girl will simply think that you lied to her, you took advantage of her, and you are not a good person.
He was honestly regarded as a good person by Tang Qian. Not to mention attacking the girl, he himself had no hope in life. Now he was deceived by others. Anyone in this situation would not have a good life.
More importantly, once Tang Qian is identified as a bad guy, it will be impossible to contact him and carry out subsequent evacuation opportunities.
As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. No one is a fool. If Tang Qian is deceived once, it is impossible for Tang Qian to trust Xu Renjie again, let alone follow them.
If Tang Qian herself doesn't want to leave with the team, what will you do if Xu Renjie does it?
So many times a simple decision may mean the success or failure of an entire thing.
Lao Xu doesn't dare to fool Tang Qian now, and he is considering the overall situation and comprehensively considering related matters in the future.
There is definitely nothing wrong with Xu Renjie's actions, and it is very necessary to answer Tang Qian truthfully.
In view of this, he shook his head and said in denial: "No, I know what you want to say. Do you want to ask if your brother is in the museum?"
Tang Qian was noncommittal: "Isn't he here?"
It was a simple greeting, but Xu Renjie could clearly see the loss in Tang Qian's eyes.
To be honest, seeing the disappointment flashing in Tang Qian's eyes, Xu Renjie really couldn't bear to give a negative answer.
For a moment, he almost gave an unconscionable answer in the affirmative.
But considering the overall situation and considering the possible problems in the subsequent series, he finally stayed rational and simply denied it: "No, I'm sorry, Xiao Tang, although I also want to give it to you... Oh, I can't lie to you, I have to tell you the truth. , your brother is not in the library."
After saying these words, Xu Renjie felt tired for no reason.
He admired and felt that he was cruel. It was a bit... too hurtful to say this to Tang Qian at this time.
The fact was that Xu Renjie felt guilty, but his words felt like needle pricks in Tang Qian's ears, making the girl feel uncomfortable.
No, to be precise, it should be unacceptable.
That feeling is like... You obviously feel like you are about to grab what you want, but suddenly he disappears in front of you... There is no reason, no reason, just so suddenly.
"No, he's not here, he's not in the library. Haha, I should have thought of it earlier. Why am I so naive? I shouldn't have given hope. I'm so stupid..." Tang Qian lowered her head as if she was possessed. Keep whispering in a low voice.
Xu Renjie felt very uncomfortable seeing all of this.
But what can be done? As Lao Xu, he has no choice at this time.
He kept his word to people passing by, and it would undoubtedly hurt the girl even more if Tang Qian stabbed her later.
The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Rather than being left speechless by the girl later, it is better to tell the girl frankly now.
What's more, things were not as bad as Xu Renjie thought.
After all, although Tang Xiaoquan is not inside the museum, he is outside the museum.
As long as he could take Tang Qian away from the gymnasium alive, it would be easy for the two brothers and sisters to meet.
But if you want to take Tang Qian out of the gym smoothly... this is easy to say, but not easy to do.
Apart from other things, if you want to get out of the gymnasium alive, the current situation is... that is an extremely difficult thing to do.
But these are not things that Lao Xu needs to consider at the moment.
He should focus on dealing with Tang Qian's emotional state now.
If you want to take a girl away, you must first get the cooperation of the other party.
Otherwise, all your talk will be in vain.
Regarding this point, Xu Renjie's thinking is still very clear.
Looking at Tang Qian's depressed look, Xu Renjie followed up: "Xiao Tang, don't be so sad. Although your brother is not in the venue, but..."
"But what!?" Raising her head suddenly, Tang Qian followed without warning, which also shocked Xu Renjie.
Lao Xu was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and replied: "But he is actually not far away from us now."
"Not far? What do you mean? How far is not far? Where exactly is he!!" The mood suddenly became excited.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Tang Qian is demanding about Tang Xiaoquan's position.
Xu Renjie knew very well what Tang Qian was thinking, and he didn't show off at the moment and told him directly: "Xiao Tang is actually following our troops outside the stadium."
"My brother is outside the gym?" As expected, Tang Qian was stunned for a moment. After that, Tang Qian seemed to have realized something and said excitedly again: "You lied. You lied to me, right? In order to ease my mood, you did this to me on purpose. Is that right?"
After listening to Tang Qian's series of questions, Xu Renjie couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
Xu Renjie sighed helplessly as Tang Qian knew that she was agitated.
Tang Qian questioned him, but he didn't find it strange at all.
After all, he had just told Tang Qian that Tang Xiaoquan was not in the gym, and then told him that Tang Xiaoquan was outside the gym.
I believe that no matter who you are, you will have questions in your mind after hearing Xu Renjie's answers.
How could there be such a coincidence? Not in the venue but outside the stadium?
But it just happened to be such a coincidence.
When others don't know what's going on, it's easy to question Xu Renjie's words.
It fell to Tang Qian, who looked serious now. It was obvious that the girl was not very satisfied with Xu Renjie's answer.
