Chen Yun, wearing very ordinary clothes, walked into the door of the western restaurant.
"You are Miss Chen Yun." The moment she entered, a messenger who had been waiting for her came up immediately and said in a very respectful tone, "Please follow me."
He led Chen Yun through the unusually quiet corridor and came to the independent dining rooms.
Chen Yun walked in.
A young and handsome man as rumored was standing inside waiting for her. He was dressed very elegantly and his dress was carefully matched, as if this dinner was very important to him.
"Actually, there is absolutely no need to come to a place like this." Chen Yung expressed his intention as soon as he entered, "I'm still used to talking about work in more formal settings."
Mo Jiangwen was not affected by these words at all, with an elegant smile on his face:
"Please forgive me for being rude. I understand that this may be a bit sudden, but when I first met you a few days ago, I had already planned this dinner in my mind. I really can't help but try to invite you. you."
He pulled out the chair for Chen Yun very naturally. Their positions were opposite, but they still maintained a very polite distance, and did not add an inappropriate ambiguous atmosphere to this private meeting between the two.
Mo Jiangwen seemed unable to take his eyes off Chen Yun:
"Ms. Chen, please sit down."
Chen Yun sat down opposite him and glanced at the precise appetizers that were already on the table. She didn't have the ability to appreciate them. She could only tell that it should be quite expensive.
However, it is nothing compared to Mo Jiangwen's donations over the years.
"I want to express my gratitude to the church and all those who have received your help." Chen Yun said sincerely and formally, "Your donations over the years have changed the fate of many people."
Mo Jiangwen looked a little more serious when he heard this.
He nodded slightly to Chen Yun:
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. When I inherited this huge property, I shouldered the corresponding responsibility. If I don't help those who are suffering within my ability, my conscience will not be able to bear it. "
Chen Yun quite naturally picked up the knife and fork and started to deal with the tricky appetizer in front of him:
"Are you planning to make further donations?"
The man also cooperated and said while eating:
"Yes, I plan to invest an additional 100 million yuan into the original charity fund."
Chen Yun said with some surprise:
"One hundred million?"
This is not a small number, and you must know that the church will be responsible for the operation of these extra federal coins, which means that all of them will be used for charity, and not even half of them will go elsewhere.
Mo Jiangwen nodded:
“That’s right, and I plan to use part of it to hold charity galas and social promotions, and I believe the final number in your hands will be much higher than what you see now.
"Of course, we need some reasons and 'incidents' that can convince the public, and these will be handled by my professional team.
Chen Yun asked in surprise:
"Then what you want is..."
He asked puzzledly:
"what do you want?"
Chen Yun asked:
"You asked for this, so what do you want?"
Neither the charity gala nor the secondary publicity was expected by the church. These were not things that Mo Jiangwen could do casually, but were a considerable drain on his resources and reputation.
Mo Jiangwen suddenly realized:
"You're asking me what I want to trade this for."
Then he asked with a smile:
"But aren't you already here?
"These were already in my plan the moment you walked in. Even if Miss Chen Yun gets up and leaves now, these funds will be processed according to the process. After all, you can never do too much charity."
Chen Yun blinked:
"Then I can go."
Mo Jiangwen pointed to the dinner plate in front of him:
"At least eat your dinner
"Wasting food is not something worth promoting."
Chen Yun had no way to refute this:
"So you want to see me? Actually, I don't understand."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"You can think that I am willing to spend the money to meet you, or you can also understand that I am just looking for a reason to deepen cooperation with the church. How you think about it depends on you.
"But even if it's the latter, I can't choose you casually.
"Right."
Chen Yun looked curious:
"I heard them say that you have a way with little girls, but why didn't I see it today?"
The man smiled and said:
"Yes, but I think that kind of trick can only get some little girls who haven't grown up. Believe it or not, I can confirm that you are not that kind of person when I meet you for the first time. I will not be honest. Use those methods to annoy you."
Then he paused and started talking awkwardly:
"Well, Miss Chen Yun, I heard about what happened to those pious people in Dongxinzhou.
"I deeply regret this."
He lowered his head slightly, his expression a little more sad.
Chen Yun also looked a little lonely:
"We can't change the past, we can only look forward."
Although she did feel bad and sad about it, she didn't want to discuss it with anyone else.
Mo Jiangwen nodded in agreement:
"A very correct idea.
"But I also heard that your brother Ma En was also wanted by the federation at about the same time, and his whereabouts seem to be unknown now, right?"
These words immediately attracted Chen Yun's attention:
"Do you know something?"
Mo Jiangwen nodded slightly:
“You know, we in business have friends all over the world.
"As far as I know, your brother appeared in the Southern Federation some time ago."
Chen Yun then asked:
"Did he show up?"
In fact, Chen Yun also inferred that Ma En was probably in the Southern Federation.
According to the information she collected on the Internet and from other places, Ma En's wanted order seemed to be ranked higher in the Southern Federation and received much more attention than in other regions.
But given her status, this is all she knows.
Mo Jiangwen nodded:
"Yes, I hope you will be mentally prepared first."
Her heart skipped a beat:
"Nothing has happened to Ma En yet."
He shook his head:
"He appeared several times some time ago, and he also had conflicts with federal special service personnel. I don't know if you can accept this. Ma En killed a lot of people..."
While speaking, he was also observing Chen Yun's expression.
Her expression obviously paused, but she immediately continued to ask:
"What happened?"
Mo Jiangwen said:
“It’s good that he didn’t get caught.
"But did you expect your brother to do this?"
Chen Yun shook his head with a heavy expression:
"No, not at all.
"But actually I can also imagine that if he has to do something like this, I am the kind of person who would find it difficult to hurt others, and he is the kind of person who will never hurt others easily. people.
"But it wasn't difficult for him."
Not as hard as it was for her.
Mo Jiangwen followed these words and asked:
"I can feel that you really care about your brother, but as far as I know, you are also a very kind and righteous person. Your past deeds in the church can fully illustrate this.
“And I could tell in our brief encounter that this was true.
"Then have you ever thought about how you would face Ma En if he stood opposite to the moral values you uphold."
He looked at Chen Yun with deep eyes.
She shook her head:
"I haven't tried to think about it that way, it's a very difficult thing, but from what I know about him, Man is not the kind of person who would do bad things, if he did something wrong. , I would also rather believe that he did it out of necessity.
"After all, it is very difficult to be a good person in the world we live in. What challenges you is not only sin in our ordinary understanding, but also something that seems to represent justice.
"Of course, the reason why I don't think about it is that it is too difficult."
Mo Jiangwen asked persistently:
"Then let's assume, let's just assume, that you met him, and you learned that he had actually gone astray, and it was not out of necessity or coercion that he did bad things.
"He may not enjoy it, but there are other options - just like any other criminal.
"How would you face him?"
Chen Yun closed his eyes.
This question pushed her into a corner and was something she didn't want to think about.
There was another reason why she didn't think so at all - Chen Yun believed that Ma En would not let herself face such a multiple-choice question, but in fact, what Mo Jiangwen said was a reasonable situation. In many cases, feelings cannot defeat reality.
Neither of them has control over their own destiny.
Chen Yun opened his eyes and said firmly:
“As painful as that would be for me, it’s one of the last things I want to see happen.
"But I'm still going to do the right thing."
Mo Jiangwen leaned back and put away his aggressive momentum.
Only then did Chen Yun realize that he had unknowingly spoken out his innermost thoughts to the other person's questioning.
"You really have a hand." She said in a calm tone, "Is this your purpose? Do you want to know what choice I would make when faced with this dilemma?"
This sentence also covered up her surprise. Chen Yun didn't think he would reveal his thoughts so easily. Is it because he still cared too much about Ma En?
Mo Jiangwen apologized:
"I'm just too curious. In fact, my original purpose of collecting this was definitely not to ask you this question. I didn't even understand your situation before this, but after knowing this, I really can't suppress my impulse.
"I have talked with Bishop Fu. In his words, you are almost a saint, and your past experiences have proven that you must attach great importance to your relatives. Therefore, it is difficult for me to imagine what you would do when faced with that kind of situation. .”
Chen Yun said puzzledly:
"Saint, but I'm just an ordinary person."
Mo Jiangwen said with a smile:
"That's their favorite thing to say."
Chen Yun calmed down:
"Do you have any news about my brother?"
Mo Jiangwen nodded:
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't dare to question you like I just did."
He directly made the meaning of his next action clear, because Chen Yun would definitely notice his arrangement, and making it clear not only made the other party feel his sincerity, but also effectively weakened the negative impact of doing so.
And even if Chen Yun knew that this was his way of "apologizing", he would still accept it.
He looked a little more serious:
"This information was brought to me by my secret friend. I would like to ask you to keep this secret and do not mention it to others at will. Otherwise, it may cause some annoying trouble for me."
Chen Yun nodded:
"I understand."
Mo Jiangwen said:
"Now the Southern Federation has withdrawn its wanted order against Ma En."
Chen Yun said in surprise:
"But I just saw in the morning that he was still on the wanted poster."
Mo Jiangwen replied:
"The kind of wanted information that requires ordinary citizens to provide clues is deliberately delayed, but I have some internal information. Your brother Ma En is no longer on the wanted list."
"My Healing Game"
Chen Yun stared at him nervously:
"Do you know why?"
Mo Jiangwen shook his head calmly:
“I only know that they have received the news that the wanted order has been withdrawn, but I don’t know exactly what it means, and even if I knew it, I definitely couldn’t say it casually, otherwise it would be considered as leaking federal secrets.
"But I can continue to pay attention to this matter and tell you immediately if there is any new news."
Chen Yun looked at him and said:
"if you can."
The man took out his mobile phone naturally:
"Then add a friend."
"Yes." Chen Yun nodded, "Thank you."
Mo Jiangwen smiled:
"You're welcome, I just can't stand other people being in pain."
Chen Yun said with gratitude:
"Bishop Fu is right, you are really a good person."
The man smiled and accepted her thanks:
"I just did what I could."
Ding.
Chen Yun suddenly looked at the messages on his phone.
It was her "friend" who sent the information.
"I'm sorry." Chen Yun said, "I suddenly have something to deal with. I'll go outside first..."
"If you are in a hurry, please leave first." Mo Jiangwen said with a smile, "I will look forward to meeting you next time."
Chen Yun showed an apologetic look to him, said goodbye briefly and walked out quickly.
Mo Jiangwen still sat in his original position and waited. It was not until Chen Yun left the front door of the restaurant that a thin, elderly and twisted figure walked out of the curtains beside him.
The old housekeeper stood beside him and asked:
"Why don't you tell her that Ma En is safe?"
Mo Jiangwen shook his head:
"If I tell her now, what excuse will I use to ask her out next time?"
The old housekeeper then asked:
"how do you feel."
The handsome man pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said:
"It's going well, we're going to have friends."
The old housekeeper looked at his master with some confusion:
"Is this the purpose of our coming here? Don't you want to see how the legendary Sister Ma En is doing?"
Mo Jiangwen looked at the old housekeeper in confusion:
"Don't you have eyes? Do you still have the energy to be distracted from work when such a beauty appears in front of you?"
The old housekeeper asked suspiciously:
"Really? But you and I have seen countless beauties, and we can also find a few who can compare with her. At that time, you were not that..."
The man was still staring in the direction she was leaving, his eyes blurred and empty:
"No, they are not even one ten thousandth as good as Chen Yun, you can't see them at all.
"How beautiful..."
