Chapter 708: Chapter 444:
The righteous often belong to the butcher’s crowd, while the disloyal are often educated men.
This is an ancient saying that has been passed down for a long time, and Zhuge Rong agrees, especially with the latter part.
Why?
It’s not that people are born with ranks, but rather that excellence comes with a more opulent life, and these things become temptations in the face of moral tests, tightly entwining people.
Xu Liang, is exactly like this!
The other party is a smart person, and smart people can have everything, unlike those lifeless fools who live without any ties and waste their lives.
As long as the other party is willing to compromise!
Not only can they survive, but they can also live better after disembarking, and will surely become part of the Red Circle Law Firm, standing at the pinnacle of the world!
And the cost, is merely to collude with them, to sacrifice Zhao Jie, besides Zhao Jie might even want to die herself....
Even joining forces with them...
Others would want this opportunity but don’t have it!
"Ten....."
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhuge Rong’s face was filled with coldness, almost forming icy shards.
His lips moved again.
"Nine."
As these words were spoken, he instantly chambered the gun with his other hand.
"Click!"
The crisp sound seemed to resonate in everyone’s heart, making them involuntarily shiver with horror, accompanied by a sense of agitation.
Zhao Feng’s face showed surprise, his heart trembling, he turned his head in horror to look at Xu Liang.
He hastily urged:
"Lawyer Xu, say something!"
"Is there some misunderstanding here, let’s start by explaining!"
Zhao Feng was somewhat at a loss.
After all, he hadn’t expected things to get to this point, where they were about to fight over a disagreement, even resorting to guns!
Not to mention whether this ship is soundproof.
Even if the other levels don’t hear gunfire, the banquet will surely be interrupted!
His purpose here was to discuss cooperation, make money, and earn US Dollars, if the banquet stops, doesn’t it mean he won’t get a single cent?
"Seven."
Zhuge Rong’s eyes sank, his index finger gradually placed on the trigger, he continued counting down, his voice cold:
"Six."
"Five...."
Zhao Feng was anxious, "Lawyer Xu, say something quickly!"
"Four..."
"Three..."
Just as the countdown was about to end.
Xu Liang, who was surrounded, suddenly moved his eyes, and in the next second, opened his mouth, releasing a crisp sound.
"I’m not interested in this."
As he said this, Xu Liang disdainfully glanced at the things on the table, then shifted his gaze to Zhuge Rong, changing his tone.
"If I remember correctly... Chairman Zhao brought something he carefully nurtured for a long time?"
Chairman Zhao?
Beside him, Zhao Feng paused, then his eyes revealed surprise.
Zhuge Rong paused, a smile of lightness appeared on his face, and smoothly put away the gun.
"I didn’t expect Lawyer Xu would fancy this, no wonder I haven’t heard any rumors about your love life domestically."
"The person is indeed here, but originally we thought of having fun together, but..."
"Since Lawyer Xu likes it, I shall take charge, let Lawyer Xu have fun first!"
After these words.
Zhuge Rong turned his head, looked at Zhao Feng, and asked again:
"What does Chairman Zhao think?"
The somewhat dazed Zhao Feng heard this, instantly returned to his senses, quickly nodded, and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Let’s follow what President Zhe says, after all that’s what we brought it for."
"Being favored by Mr. Xu... is considered its good fortune!"
Everyone brought a pledge.
A pledge is not an interest, but a handle, something that leaves a handle on oneself!
Among them, the pledge Zhao Feng brought was rather special.
It’s a girl, also an orphan, she’s quite young, oblivious to what’s happening before she was brought here.
As for if Xu Liang wants it...
Then give it to him.
"I’ll make arrangements!" Zhao Feng said.
"No need."
Zhuge Rong spoke to stop him, then turned his eyes to a burly man dressed like a bodyguard beside him.
"Dai Shanren, you’re in charge."
As he said this, he handed the thing in his hand to the other party.
This bodyguard is 1.8 meters tall and weighs about two hundred-plus pounds, he’s a white man with stubble, and his head bald.
Upon receiving the order, he nodded without hesitation.
Zhao Feng was dumbfounded, lifting his foot to leave was interrupted, remaining where he was.
But that bodyguard, however, held a gun as he walked towards Xu Liang.
"Mr. Xu, leave the table and come with us."
The bald bodyguard spoke in a somewhat gruff voice.
Xu Liang didn’t deliberately linger, but instead calmly got up and followed the other party out.
Of course, he did not take an elevator down.
The venue of the banquet is an entire floor, over a hundred meters long, the long table area occupies only a part, which is also why Xu Liang assumes there are only a few people in the living room.
Watching the other’s departing figure.
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but ask: "President Zhe, how come you didn’t let them in front of us..."
His words weren’t finished, when he was interrupted by Zhuge Rong’s impatient glance.
Surnamed Wang and Zhao Feng, for where they carry out is the same, after all for this kind of voluntarily coming to the Cross Group, the crime is just a formality, who knows privately they might already be involved in vice.
But dealing with someone like Xu Liang...
Thinking of this, Zhuge Rong looked at the dining table where Xu Liang sat before, his eyes glimmering with an eerie sheen.
A handle... must be tightly held!
It’s just he hadn’t noticed...
On the disorderly dining table.
A dining knife just used was missing.
...
...
Meanwhile.
Outside the ship.
The time has reached nine-thirty at night.
Night falls, unlike the neon-lit continent, the sea is shrouded in darkness and solitude.
