Chen Guozhong returned to the office. He looked at everyone waiting. He looked at Lu Guanhua and others with a smile and said,
"Things are done, let's get off work."
"real?"
Chen Guozhong looked at Guo Zitan's somewhat joyful inquiry. He responded to Guo Zitan with a smile,
"Yes, go see your daughter quickly."
"Brother Zhong, I'll leave first. My daughter has been waiting for me for several hours. Such a young girl can easily be in danger."
Lawrence Lu turned to Guo Zitan angrily and said,
"You think you are still the same 6- or 7-year-old child. Thirteen years have passed and you are now in college. Adults still have people to worry about."
"Brother Hua, you don't understand. We all know the current security situation in Xiangjiang..."
Li Weile rolled his eyes, looked at Guo Zitan and said,
"Go quickly, slave girl~"
"Just now when we were waiting for Brother Zhong, you just sat there looking at the photos. The sound you made when you made the phone call made me crawl."
Guo Zitan picked up his clothes and was about to leave. Before leaving, he looked at Chen Guozhong seriously.
"Is the matter really settled?"
"Brother Zhong, if anything happens, please tell me. Don't let brother worry."
Chen Guozhong looked very relaxed. He patted Guo Zitan's body and said,
"It's okay, go ahead."
"It's really okay, don't lie to me, I'm leaving then~"
Chen Guozhong watched Guo Zitan stand on tiptoes, which was rare, and even bounced a little. His happy look could be seen from his back.
Chen Guozhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Guanhua, Li Weile and Ma Jun and said,
"Let's go too."
"Um…"
Chen Guozhong did not tell Lawrence Lu about money. Lawrence Lu glanced at Ma Jun not far away. He wanted to speak but then pursed his lips and said nothing...
Chen Guozhong looked at Lu Guanhua's appearance. He patted Lu Guanhua on the shoulder and said to Lu Guanhua,
"It's over, it's over..."
"Brother Hua, don't think about it anymore, we are brothers..."
Lawrence Lu also smiled when he heard Chen Guozhong's words. Chen Guozhong did not blame himself. He nodded and said,
"we are brothers…"
Chen Guozhong smiled at Ma Jun in the distance and said,
"Sir Ma, let's go for a walk?"
"Okay, I just happen to feel that the embassy is boring."
Ma Jun knew that Chen Guozhong had something to say to him, so he put on his usual fake smile and walked out of the business building with Chen Guozhong.
….
After Chen Guozhong left, Li Weile breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling he felt when Chen Guozhong first came into the office was like when he was studying in the past...
"Good luck, Brother Zhong didn't say anything about us."
"I already said that Brother Zhong is my brother, so how can he blame us? Come on, leave your things to me."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Hua. I'll go home and take a shower first. It's hot."
"Go ahead."
Lu Guanhua was the only one left in the office. He recalled how happy Guo Zitan was as a father, but he had a falling out with his father and hadn't called home for a long time.
Lawrence Lu called home, but his tone was still bad. He asked his mother,
"Mom, Ah Hua~"
"What's going on?"
"It's nothing. How is he? Is he still in the hospital? Has he died?"
"You think about his death all day long. He died last month. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. No need to quarrel if you want. Just worship him if you want."
Lawrence Lu's eyes showed sadness. He was silent for a long time. His mother on the phone said to Lawrence Lu,
"It's okay, that's it."
“…”
Lawrence Lu's chest bulged and he was breathing heavily. He tried his best to suppress his sadness. He looked at the hung up phone and pursed his lips sadly...
When I asked Ma Jun just now, he said that he should just treat his father as dead.
Looking back...
Lawrence Lu shook his head. He scratched his head helplessly with his hands. He tried his best to hide his sadness. In the empty office, his tears fell.
Lawrence Lu swallowed, wiped away his tears, and said,
"Take care of my hands, yes...I need to clean my hands. Things like my hands...are very troublesome...well."
“…”
Lu Guanhua wanted to use work to forget what had just happened. He was still thinking that it would have been better if he had not made that phone call.
….
Chen Guozhong and Ma Jun went down to the mission house. Xiao Ke pushed the cart out of the detention room. Xiao Ke nodded to Chen Guozhong from a distance, and Chen Guozhong nodded back.
Chen Guozhong also thought about Lin Zishe's words.
You shouldn’t be kind…
You really shouldn't be kind. The boss of the society is in jail. If Ma Zai wants to be in power and inherit, he must get rid of Chen Guozhong and others to "avenge" the boss.
Ma Jun saw Chen Guozhong looking thoughtful, he smiled and asked Chen Guozhong,
"Is it possible that the Silver Snake matter can't be settled?"
"I can help you."
Chen Guozhong turned his head and looked at Ma Jun for a few seconds. He smiled and said to Ma Jun,
"Don't be biased against Silver Snake, he is a good person."
Ma Jun didn't know why Chen Guozhong had such a change. After Chen Guozhong came into contact with Lin Zishe, he seemed to have changed into a different person.
"Nice guy?"
"Isn't it because he was brainwashed? Or some kind of finger-snapping hypnosis or something like that."
Chen Guozhong smiled and did not respond. He looked at Ma Jun and said,
"The moon is nice tonight, let's go that way."
He really thought about what Ma Jun said casually just now.
He didn't understand the situation inside, but Chen Guozhong had changed so much in just a few hours. It was hard not to think of some fantastic places.
Chen Guozhong and Ma Jun were walking on the deserted street. He turned to Ma Jun and said with a smile,
"I will retire tomorrow, and you will take over my team. I think you have seen what the team members are like tonight..."
"I've seen it before, you guys are too... out of line."
Chen Guozhong laughed. He felt the same way. Looking back, it seemed to be very funny.
In Lin Zishe's eyes, this was even more true. He didn't have enough brains, and neither did the brains of his team members. Lin Zishe was right, they were terrible.
If it were left to Lin Zishe, there might be many ways to do it.
When Chen Guozhong watched Lin Zishe work, he discovered the gap between the two. It was a good thing for him to retire.
"It's nothing, everyone is stunned."
"After it was over, I thought about it, and I felt like I was crazy."
Ma Jun looked at Chen Guozhong's expression, and he had a happy smile on his face. When he turned around, he didn't want Chen Guozhong and others to make mistakes...
Ma Jun is a person who attaches great importance to friendship and will never look back on what he thinks is right.
Ma Jun was very curious about Chen Guozhong and Lin Zishe. He smiled and asked Chen Guozhong,
"Yes, Sir Chen, what's going on between you and Lin Zishe?"
Chen Guozhong didn't know how to explain to Ma Jun. He stopped and looked at Ma Jun and said,
"He saved me."
“…”
Chen Guozhong really thought this in his heart. Lin Zishe not only saved his people, but also saved his soul...
Ma Jun looked at Chen Guozhong with some confusion. He scratched his head and said to Chen Guozhong,
"The answer is profound..."
"Profound? You're just overthinking."
"Sir Chen, I still think Silver Snake can hypnotize~" (End of Chapter)
