"If you encounter anything, you can call us at any time, or if you need us to give you advice, you can also call us in."
"In short, now we are your most trustworthy tools and helpers, so I will go out."
I nodded and gave Li Sheng a grateful look, and then watched them leave the private room.
Soon there were only Li Sheng, me, and the two women left in the room.
I glanced at the two women who were still massaging themselves, and Li Sheng suddenly said calmly.
"You don't have to worry about them, they won't say anything, and when they leave this room, they will forget everything that happened here. Just say whatever they want."
So I stopped paying attention to these two women and started negotiating with Li Sheng.
Li Sheng also sat up from the massage bed, went to the sofa next to him, lit a cigar and started smoking.
I also found a place to sit down, and a girl wanted to come to me and give me a massage, but I refused.
I felt like the girl looked at me with a somewhat resentful look when she left, maybe because she felt that I wouldn't buy it because of her charm.
At this time, Li Sheng took a deep breath, glanced at me and said lightly.
"Lin Qiao, I think you must think that I am a bastard, this treacherous white-eyed wolf, a shameless betrayer, right?"
I was a little surprised by Li Sheng's opening remarks, but I still nodded and said calmly.
"Why, isn't it?"
"But fortunately you know what kind of scumbag you are. It seems that you are not completely heartless, right?"
Li Sheng burst out laughing after hearing my words.
"Hahahaha, interesting, no, of course not. You know nothing about me, and your judgment of me is completely wrong."
I was stunned for a moment, and then said in a very cold tone.
"What's wrong? Even though I don't know you that well, I know what loyalty is and what brothers are."
"As a former subordinate of Brother Hei, you turned to others after Brother Hei was imprisoned, and even suppressed those who were loyal to Brother Hei."
"Is there any legitimate reason for you to do this?"
"Then there are no bad people or betrayers in this world. Everyone has their own reasons anyway, and no one is wrong."
Li Sheng nodded, shook his head again, not sure whether he agreed with my words or denied it, and then he said in a somewhat leisurely tone.
"I said, if you don't understand me, don't jump to conclusions."
"There was a time when I was not the same as you, with absolute loyalty to Lao Hei, and regarded him as a brother who could live and die together, and share weal and woe?"
At this point, Cao Kui suddenly shook his head with some self-deprecation, smiled and then continued.
"It's a pity. I treat Lao Hei as a biological brother. I can go up to the sword or into the sea of fire for him, but he doesn't seem to treat me that way."
"Lin Qiao, I started hanging out with Lao Hei a long time ago, and Lao Hei at that time was not as powerful as he was later, nor did he have such a high status."
"If you go by your status and qualifications in the company, I should be considered a veteran figure around Lao Hei, and I am also a start-up investor."
"Normally speaking, the status of a veteran hero like me will definitely increase when he develops in the future."
"It's a pity that Lao Hei has only been using me from beginning to end, treating me as a tool for hegemony. I am just a weapon in his hand, and he can throw it away after use."
"You may not think that I am a veteran, but after Lao Hei became rich, I am still just an ordinary little boss."
"And those who joined at the same time as me have become subordinate to one person, and my status is even lower than that of many latecomers."
"How can I balance this? But at that time, Lao Hei was so powerful that I had no other choice."
"So after Lao Hei was imprisoned, I took advantage of the chaos and took refuge with Zhou Bangcheng. Facts have proved that my choice was correct. Now my status is equivalent to that of Lao Hei back then."
After talking about this past incident, Li Sheng put out the burned cigar in his hand, then looked directly into my eyes and said calmly.
"Lin Qiao, actually there is no deep hatred between you and me, and I am not short of money now, so I don't need the money that Lao Hei left for Qin Luoxue."
"I sincerely want to have a good negotiation with you and reconcile with you. I have only one request from you, and that is to give up the investigation against me."
"Stop investigating that murder case. How about we each take a step back and be kind to each other?"
After Li Sheng said these words, his eyes always fell on me, waiting for my answer.
I sneered secretly in my heart, thinking.
Haha, it's too late for you to come to me to negotiate and reconcile.
Because I have told Yang Feng the entire investigation process, and the police have even obtained the body of Wang Lulu’s mother, and further investigation should have begun now.
Even if I give up the investigation at this time, Yang Feng and the police will never stop the investigation, because this is what they should do in the first place and is their responsibility.
I did not directly tell Li Sheng the truth about these things, because that would cause the negotiation to break down instantly. I also wanted to use this opportunity to add more to Li Sheng's words.
So I said with great interest.
"Li Sheng, think carefully about what you just said. Do you believe it yourself?"
"You said there is no hatred between us at all, but you have obviously tried to kill me so many times. Is this okay?"
"Also, you have repeatedly made things difficult for Qin Luoxue and even threatened to insult her. Qin Luoxue is my sister-in-law. Is it appropriate for you to do this?"
Although I did not refuse directly, these words were already humiliating to Li Sheng, and he immediately became furious.
He asked sharply, looking me straight in the eyes.
"Lin Qiao, it seems that my nice words to you are of no use. Do you really want to die?"
I said lightly with a sneer.
"Yeah, you just think that I want to die, so that I can go down and reunite with Brother Hei earlier, then you're going to kill me now?"
"Do you have this ability? Come and kill me quickly. Do you dare?"
The reason why I say this is naturally because I have the confidence to do so.
After all, Li Sheng probably didn't know to what extent I had investigated the murder case, so this was a huge handle in my hand, preventing him from taking any rash action.
This was indeed the case. Although Li Sheng was angry, he did nothing.
