"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry about this. If I had thought of it earlier, I think maybe it wouldn't have happened..."
There were tears in Ritsuto's eyes, and there was regret in his tone of voice. Hall Master Jin thought about it for a moment and had no choice but to pat Lü Ren on the shoulder.
"You haven't told anyone else about this."
Ritsuto woke up and raised his head to look at Hall Master Jin's still angry face, "No more, now I only have you and Hall Master Jin..."
Then the lawyer saw Hall Master Jin retract his hand and pull out a short knife from his waist.
Ritsuto's pupils shrank, he was trembling but still clenched his fists and asked: "Master Jin, what are you going to do...are you going to kill me?"
Hall Master Jin sighed, and then handed the dagger to Ritsuto, "How is it possible? Your thoughts are too radical. This dagger is for you to use for self-defense. I always feel that you know something, and there must be someone." I'll keep an eye on you. If you don't know how to use a knife, I can teach you."
"Hall Master Jin, are you trying to..."
Lü Ren never trusted anyone in his heart, and Hall Master Jin's actions made him very confused.
But Hall Master Jin's serious expression didn't look like he was playing tricks on Lü Ren. Lü Ren looked at the short sword, and Hall Master Jin also spoke. "Ritsuto, you are the 'Kingmaker' personally selected by the president. I believe that the president will not misjudge you. Our Suzaku philosophy is to never live in humiliation. I think the president is actually unwilling to suffer because of himself. Contain Suzaku from advancing."
Lü Ren smiled bitterly, "... Hall Master Jin, if you say this, how could others misunderstand me if they knew about it."
"Then you keep this matter in your stomach!" Hall Master Jin scolded him, and then he lowered his voice again, "Aojie has always been mine before, and I always thought that Aojie was a blessing to Suzaku. A good subordinate, but I am also a lawyer like you. If I had not trusted Ojie so much in the beginning, the president would not have died like this, right?
Everyone has things they regret. What we have to do is not to change or make up for the things we regret, but to look forward.
There is not enough time in life that you can always look back. "
Ritsuto wiped the tears from his eyes, took the short knife and held it tightly in his hand, "Yes, I understand Hall Master Jin."
Hall Master Jin patted Lü Ren on the back again, "Then you can also contact Yao Shun for a meeting later."
The lawyer nodded and took his cell phone to send a message to Yao Shun, "I understand... I've given him the message. He'll be here soon."
"Then before the hall masters come, I will teach you how to use a short sword. I will also give you some other self-defense techniques by the way."
"That's really troublesome for Hall Master Jin."
Hall Master Jin adjusted his collar and patted the collar of his suit, "What's the point? In my opinion, you are just a young child. As a senior cadre, how can you see a junior suffering like this? It's just that you take the responsibility on yourself, which is much better than those guys who shirk responsibility."
"Well...thank you Hall Master Jin."
There was no joy in Ritsuto's heart. He was more afraid. He even suspected that something was being filmed behind his back to monitor him. But the lawyer knew very well that he was not delusional, but maybe he was too vigilant.
"I'll make some arrangements. Just wait for you and your friends to come over later." After speaking, Hall Master Jin turned and left the living room.
"Okay..." Lu Ren then opened the door of the living room and met Mo Langqin in the corridor.
After Mo Langqin saw Lu Ren, he hurried over and asked the situation in a low voice, "Lu Ren, what is the situation?"
Then he saw Ritsuto let out a long breath, "Huh... the bet was right."
Mo Langqin looked at Lu Ren carefully. There was a short knife in Lu Ren's hand. His eyes were red. Was he being bullied and threatening death? No, this damn author can still let his own characters bully him? is it possible? Mo Langqin's mind was confused, "Huh? What do you mean? You have been confused by me."
Ritsuto immediately changed his expression and returned to his usual attitude of not caring about being beaten, "You're just confused, I'm still afraid of death, okay! You can accompany me to the meeting later."
"It's not appropriate for me to be here, isn't it?" After all, Mo Langqin is also a member of the White Tiger. Why is he, a member of the White Tiger, doing Suzaku's meeting?
"What was said at this meeting is not a secret. You may feel safer with me." Ritsuto scratched his cheek with his fingers, and he had some plans in mind.
Mo Langqin was even more confused, but he knew that he would not get any useful explanation from asking the lawyer, so he simply changed the topic, "Ha... I don't really understand, but what did you say just now?"
"About the former president Suzaku." Ritsuto said in a relaxed tone.
Mo Langqin narrowed his eyes and put his hands on his hips, "Don't you tell me all the immoral things you have done?"
"...You deserve a beating!" The lawyer quickly pulled Mo Langqin to him, "What do you mean by immorality! I'm just stating the facts!"
"Please, I've read the plot, okay? You're harming people, isn't that considered immoral? You really have a problem with your thinking." Mo Langqin rolled his eyes as he spoke.
Ritsuto also rolled his eyes, "So what? I've looked away. I'm just a person who's been stabbed a thousand times. It doesn't matter! Just come at me! I don't care anymore."
After listening to Lu Ren's words, Mo Langqin raised his hand and touched Lu Ren's forehead, "Is it possible that you have a fever? Do you need to be quarantined?"
"Thank you!" Lu Ren pushed Mo Langqin away in disgust and patted the dust on his clothes.
Hall Master Jin's men also came over and informed, "Mr. Lu, everything has been arranged. Hall Master wants you two to come over."
"Okay, I understand." Lü Ren calmed down his careless attitude and responded.
After Mo Langqin's eyes disappeared under Hall Master Jin, he also turned to look at Lu Ren, "Is there a meeting? Isn't he not here yet?"
"It's not a meeting, it's about how to use a knife, Bishop Jintang." The lawyer raised the short knife in his hand and showed it to Mo Langqin.
"Use a knife? Little Lu flying knife?" Mo Langqin deliberately laughed, but it seemed to be of no use to Lu Ren.
"What kind of expression are you looking down on me? But your name feels pretty good. A little Lu's flying knife is better than a villain's flying knife."
"God damn the villain flying knives... don't be so self-satisfied." Mo Langqin slapped his forehead, and all he could think about was the villain flying knives.
"Hey hey hey." Lu Ren smiled contentedly and went to find Hall Master Jin with Mo Langqin.
But what the lawyer didn't expect was...
The place where Lu Ren and Mo Langqin came was the secret room behind the door where Hall Master Jin had used to handle matters.
After opening the door and going down the stairs, the long corridor was filled with a strong smell of rust, and there were also some whimpering sounds coming from nowhere.
The lawyer and Mo Langqin swallowed at the same time and walked down the steps more cautiously.
Then the sound of a whip completely made the two of them nervous.
