When he was with his family, he didn't feel that there was a problem. However, once he went out alone with murderous intent, Chen Guang realized that something in his heart had loosened.
To be precise, it had disappeared.
What had disappeared was none other than the innate sympathy humans had for their own kind.
In the past, his hands weren't exactly clean. They were stained with blood. However, even though he had killed evil people with his own hands, there was still a faint but lingering compassion in his heart.
Even if he had to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, he still had feelings for the plants in his heart.
When some people did wrong, he might have been a good person in the past. It was just that his thoughts had gone astray at the wrong time. Or perhaps there were some reasons that he had no choice but to do so.
Just like the assassins of the World of Destruction, many of them were adopted when they were still young. They didn't have a correct outlook on life and right from the start.
Although they deserved to die, they were pitiful.
If God was fair when he created every life, then even those unforgivable killers were, in a sense, innocent.
However, Chen Guang didn't truly forgive them. Perhaps each of them could find 10,000 reasons for their actions, 10,000 sudden emotions that caused them to make the wrong choice.
Their lives deserved sympathy, but it didn't mean that they deserved forgiveness.
This was the position that Song Ningyuan had in Chen Guang's heart.
Before this, although he hated Song Ningyuan, his dislike for him was only limited to business and jealousy related to Tang Ying.
Moreover, Chen Guang had never suffered a loss. The unlucky one was always Song Ningyuan. Therefore, although he had many conflicts with Song Ningyuan, Chen Guang didn't really care about him.
Now that he was getting stronger, whether it was Tianguang Group or Morning Light Environmental Protection, with his influence in the political and military circles, Song Ningyuan would just be a laughable passerby.
When Song Ningyuan truly understood his own strength, he knew that continuing to go against him was simply courting death.
If he had followed the normal trajectory of his life, Song Ningyuan and his cousin, Zheng He, would have become two parallel lines.
But now that things had come to this, since he had already done it, he had to pay the price.
Stepping on the accelerator, Chen Guang sped up a little more.
On the other side, Song Ningyuan, Zheng He, and the others, who were partying all night in the club, unknowingly changed the topic to Chen Guang.
"Brother Song, don't you think this is strange? The video had been on the Internet for a whole day, but why hadn't Chen Guang's people responded? His movie is still playing. I went to watch it. It's really good. He has to refute the rumors, right? "
Song Ningyuan pursed his lips. "Refute rumors? That would have to be a real rumor to be refuted, right? In my opinion, this video is real. Chen Guang is already dead. "
"That's impossible, right? That was Chen Guang! How could he die just like that? Couldn't this video be a special effect created by someone else to deliberately discredit him? Otherwise, it could be the leak of his movies! "
The people around them said in disbelief.
Song Ningyuan shrugged. "Anyway, I'm just guessing. It's up to you whether you believe it or not! Don't you think that the people from Tianguang Group are being too quiet? It's very likely that Chen Guang is really dead, which is why they haven't made any moves yet. Let me give you an example. If I were to die one day, before the matter is properly investigated and my funeral arrangements are made, would my family announce my death to the public? They wouldn't! "
Song Ningyuan continued with a beaming expression. "Chen Guang is the biggest shareholder of Tianguang Group and Chenguang Environmental Protection, and he's also the chairman. His every move has great implications, not to mention the news of his death. Don't worry, I'll still say the same thing. Wait for another two days, and naturally, nothing will be hidden. "
Another person next to him took out his phone, pointed at it, and teased, "These days, the media people are really bored out of their minds. The internet is all over the place writing about Chen Guang. There are actually people here saying that Chen Guang is trying to promote his variety show. Someone said that according to the Reuters photos, Chen Guang will appear in the next episode of his company's variety show, and the main theme will be the strongest body. Then, the purpose of releasing this video in advance is to warm up and hype up his lousy show? What a joke! Who would hype up something like that? "
Song Ningyuan glanced at him. "Are you stupid? Who do you think you are? Why would you watch these media people's nonsense? It's a waste of time. "
This person was a little embarrassed by what Song Ningyuan said. "My family always says that I didn't study well overseas, so they told me to read more news when I have time now."
"Then you have to watch something useful. Let's put it this way. According to what you said, if the media is trying to promote his show, then the scenes of Chen Guang jumping and dodging bullets in the video, and all kinds of sniping with his bare hands must be real. Then, the scene of his death must also be real! This can indeed prove that he is very good at fighting and has great strength, but what's the use of that? "
"He's already dead! Who would want to watch a variety show about a dead person? Reminisce about him on the show? Then, what if … I'm saying what if. Let's say that this video is made with computer special effects. But doesn't his show focus on real people and strange things? Even if he did it himself, he would have to film the real thing, right? There's no reason to use computer special effects to hype it up. "
As Song Ningyuan said this, he smugly patted his friend's head. "So, don't watch these useless things. It's a waste of time and even more embarrassing. Let me introduce you to a consulting company. "
"What's it for?"
"It's that the other party will selectively provide you with information and articles that they have verified and determined to be useful based on your profession and your requests."
"Isn't this the same as the self-media pushed by artificial intelligence?"
"No, this is completely different. Just like the article you're reading, it's completely made up and doesn't make sense. It's all nonsense made up by some rather unprofessional self-media people. You've wasted a whole five minutes of your time reading this article, and now you're telling me about it, and you've wasted another five minutes of my time. Now that we're playing outside, it doesn't matter if we waste some time, but what if we're working? Then this time is very precious, and we can't afford to waste it like this. But we can't cut off information from the outside world. After all, there are countless business opportunities lurking in this, but we can't waste time. The purpose of the service provided by this company is more clear. First, they'll exclude that kind of false information, then they'll summarize the important events in the relevant fields according to our needs and send it to us in the most objective manner. All of it will be manually reviewed, which can maximize our time. "
"That good? How much does it cost per month? "
"Fifty thousand."
"It's not expensive. I'll book it tomorrow."
"I say, if you two want to play, then play happily. Can you not talk about business at this time?"
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore."
Song Ningyuan waved his hand and agreed with a smile.
Ever since the news of Chen Guang's death was confirmed, he realized that he had become a different person. He had become more passionate, and he even began to care about time management, which he rarely cared about in the past.
"Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. There's an exam at school tomorrow."
Next to him, Zheng He came over, wanting to say something but hesitating.
He knew that Song Ningyuan would not take it seriously even if he said it, but he did not know what was going on tonight. He had been feeling a little uneasy, and he kept feeling very uneasy.
"Don't be funny. Are you kidding me? You still care about the exam? Why? Will the teachers in your school let you fail the exam? "
"Not necessarily. As long as I take the exam, I definitely won't fail. But if I miss the exam, it'll be difficult. Speaking of which, this matter also has something to do with Chen Guang. Because of this guy, the management of privileged students in the school has become very strict. The more famous a person is, the more they will be watched. "
"Okay, you're so troublesome. Back then, I asked you to go abroad to study at a university. You can see the world and have fun. It was you who insisted that it was more comfortable in Wujing. Do you regret it now? Okay, then I'll walk you out. "
"Okay, I happen to have something to talk to you about, brother."
The two of them turned around and said goodbye to the people in the private room. Then, they walked out side by side. The two of them did not go straight outside. Instead, they turned a corner in the corridor and went straight to the fire escape.
Zheng He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, how are you so sure that Chen Guang is dead?"
There were no outsiders here. Song Ningyuan chuckled and said in a low voice, "You should know that Chen Guang's house was blown up some time ago, right?"
Zheng He swallowed his saliva. "I know. Did you get someone to do it? I did mention it to you before, but I didn't expect you to really do it. "
Song Ningyuan smiled meaningfully. "I did do it, but it wasn't me."
"What do you mean?"
"I did participate in the bounty for Chen Guang's death, but I only paid this much."
Song Ningyuan put up two fingers.
"20 million?"
"USD."
"F * ck! Where did you get so much cash?! "
"Don't worry about where I got it. Anyway, I'll pay this part of the money."
"Part of the money?"
"That's right. Chen Guang has too many enemies. Apart from me, there are at least a few other forces who participated in the bounty for him. This is the total amount of his bounty."
Song Ningyuan put up another four fingers.
"40 million USD?"
"No, it's 400 million."
Zheng He sucked in a cold breath. Even as the son of the chairman of New Radiance Corporation, he had never thought that someone would spend so much money to put a bounty on someone else's head.
"Just how big of a grudge is this?!"
"You don't have to worry about that. Anyway, this video was actually sent to me by someone else. The bounty has been completed, and Chen Guang is indeed dead."
Zheng He was silent for a long time, unable to speak for a long time. A look of ecstasy appeared on his face. "I really admire you. But it's good that he's dead. It's good that he's dead. "
"Of course. Why else do you think I called you guys here today? Isn't it to celebrate this?"
"But brother, don't be too obvious when you're outside. Chen Guang's background is so complicated."
"I know that, but he's already dead. There's a saying that you have to remember, 'tea cools when people leave' is an unchanging truth, no matter how high a person's status is. "
"That's true."
Zheng He nodded. "Then I'll go back first."
"Alright, now you feel at ease. I heard that you used to chase after a girl in school, and that you're related to him? "
"Sigh, that's all in the past. It's the same with or without Chen Guang. That girl isn't suitable for me. By the way, that girl isn't simple. Her name is Wenwen. I have a photo of her here. You have to be careful of her. "
"Be careful of her?"
"That's right. You have to be careful of her. That girl seems to know martial arts. Anyway, she's very powerful. A dozen big men can't even get close to her. She's also very hot-tempered. I'm afraid that if she confirms the news of Chen Guang's death, she'll go crazy and find trouble with every suspicious person."
"Then she didn't find you?"
"Not really. She hasn't appeared in school for a few days. I don't know where she went."
"You're still talking about the past. Aren't you very concerned about others?"
"Sigh."
As the two of them were whispering to each other, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them. "Are you two done talking?"
The two turned at the same time and saw a familiar face in the dim light of the fire escape.
Their mouths opened wider and wider. They probably wanted to scream 'ghost' or something.
However, Chen Guang reached out and tapped their necks with lightning speed. The two of them couldn't make a single sound.
The two immediately turned around and wanted to push open the sliding door of the fire escape to escape. However, Chen Guang flicked his fingers repeatedly. Two bolts of Qi shot out from behind them and hit them squarely in the middle of their backs.
Zheng He and Song Ningyuan felt their bodies go limp. They slumped to the ground like dough.
Chen Guang looked down at the two of them. After about five seconds of silence, he said, "I'm really sorry. I'm not dead."
Song Ningyuan's eyes widened. He couldn't understand what had happened at all.
The dark web couldn't be lying!
The video must be real!
But why would Chen Guang appear in front of him?
What the hell was going on?!
Something must have gone wrong somewhere.
Song Ningyuan opened his mouth slightly. He really wanted to beg for mercy. Unfortunately, he could only make soft sounds in his throat. He couldn't say a word.
Zheng He was calmer than him. His sixth sense told him that something was wrong. His right eyelid had been twitching non-stop in the private room.
Looking at the expressionless Chen Guang, Zheng He suddenly recalled a memory that was about to dissipate.
It was in the evening. He had mustered up his courage for a long time and tried to talk to the girl he liked, Wenwen.
However, he had been infuriated by Chen Guang, who was standing beside Wenwen. At that time, he had only treated Chen Guang as an insignificant toad.
Later on, he had even thought that he could find a few people to beat him up. That would be enough to make him back off obediently.
However, he hadn't expected this kid to be so stubborn and unyielding. He could fight with his life on the line.
Later on, he had found a martial arts expert in the school to cause trouble for him. However, he hadn't expected this guy to suddenly become an expert after not seeing him for a few days.
After that, not only had he failed to woo Wenwen, but he had also annoyed her. She had even given him a verbal warning.
Later on, he had bumped into him at the airport with Jiang Yage and Jin Shiyue. Jiang Yage, who had a powerful background, had stood up for him, and he had completely given up on the idea of being enemies with him.
He had thought that he would have nothing to do with him from then on. He hadn't expected to run into him again because of his cousin.
In fact, Zheng He hadn't expected things to turn out like this. Especially when his cousin Song Ningyuan had said that he wanted to find an assassin. He had even thought that he was just saying it out of anger.
However, he hadn't expected him to really do it.
Just now, when he had learned of Chen Guang's "death," Zheng He still couldn't get rid of the joy in his heart.
Although he might not have a chance to get Wenwen in the future, he had always felt the pleasure of revenge.
But why now …
Why was he standing here?
What would he do to the two of us?
Zheng He thought silently. He struggled hard, but he couldn't even move his fingers.
He even thought to himself, If I hadn't come here today, would I have been able to stay out of this?
However, how could there be so many ifs in this world?
In the corridor of this club, a cold and gloomy aura emerged out of thin air, completely enveloping the hearts of the two cousins, Zheng He and Song Ningyuan.
