"Hello, Little Chen. I'm Lin Jingwei's grandfather."
On the other side of the phone, an old man's voice came straight to the point.
He could ignore other people, but he had to respect Little Lin's grandfather. Chen Guang forcefully shook his head and pulled himself together. "Hello, Grandpa Lin."
"Little Chen, I already know what happened. I'd like to apologize to you first."
"Grandpa Lin, you're too kind."
"What happened before was indeed our fault for not being thorough enough. We didn't mean to harm Sect Master Wen on purpose. On one hand, we considered that Sect Master Wen had always been very strong. She suddenly left like that, and even the other members of the Wen family didn't know where she went. This meant that she had absolute confidence in her own strength, and believed that not only would others not be able to help her, they might even be a burden to her. At the same time, we also considered that the Guangding General Bureau has just been established, and the people's hearts are not stable yet. We shouldn't act rashly. "
Chen Guang didn't agree with what he said, but since he had already said it, arguing with him over the phone was meaningless. It would only make things difficult for Lin Jingwei. He simply replied, "Yes, I understand that. That's why I haven't used this matter. To be honest, I don't care about the position of chief director. Grandpa Lin, you know what I really care about. "
"You're talking about Little Cao, right?"
Chen Guang said without hesitation, "That's right!"
He was really tired of bargaining with others. If it wasn't for the fact that he was too sleepy, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to sleep, he really wanted to fly to Yan Jing right now and crush Cao Zhengming's bones one by one.
For ordinary people, his desire for revenge might be a little too strong. But unfortunately, the Old Man was now the True Martial Saint Emperor. He had a bad temper and couldn't tolerate even a little grievance.
"We only found out about this today, so I won't defend Little Cao for now. After all, the matter hasn't been confirmed yet. You can't just kill him, can you? The matter hasn't been confirmed yet. Little Chen, you can't punish him like this. But I can promise you that we will find out the truth. If Little Cao really did something wrong, we will definitely make him apologize to you, okay? "
Chen Guang almost laughed out loud. "Apologize? Grandpa Lin, isn't this a little too light? "
Old Master Lin was secretly unhappy. "Little Chen, even if Little Cao might have made a mistake, he still made a lot of contributions and has quite a bit of prestige in the army. He is one of the next generation of generals that we are focusing on nurturing. Even if he really did do it, he didn't cause too serious of an evil consequence. Where it is possible to forgive people, one should forgive them. "
Chen Guang countered with a question, "Grandpa Lin, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Cao Zhengming's actions are equivalent to betraying the country. According to your rules, how should we punish him? What if he hadn't been the one who'd committed the crime, but an ordinary person? It's impossible for you to just apologize and say that you should forgive and forget. "
"So you want him to die?"
Old Master Lin suppressed his unhappiness and asked in a joking yet serious manner.
Chen Guang replied, "If you have rules that are convincing, then follow them. If you don't, or if you can't do it, then I will follow my own rules. Maybe what I said is not very pleasing to the ears and may make you a little embarrassed, but I can only apologize. I am just like that. "
After Chen Guang finished speaking, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.
On the other side, Old Master Lin was stunned at first, then his face turned red with anger.
There was actually someone in this world who dared to take the initiative to hang up on him!
And he was so impatient!
This Little Chen's arrogance really reached the sky!
Seeing this, an old man next to him slammed the table angrily. "Chen Guang is simply too lawless! If it's all based on subjective conjecture, do we really have to follow his wishes and arrest Little Cao? He's clearly arrogant and conceited, putting everyone else in his eyes! "
Another person said, "In my opinion, it's probably because our attitude towards him in the past was too good, making him feel too good about himself and unable to distinguish the severity of the situation. We should just remove him from his position in the Guangding General Headquarters! If he dares to resist, his family … "
Bam!
At the side, the big baldy, Old Jiang, was furious. "Old Ye, what nonsense are you talking about! How could Chen Guangli's contributions be any worse than Xiao Cao's achievements? If not for him, would there be the Guangding General Headquarters now? If not for him, wouldn't Ouyang Tianxing still be at large, making us feel like we have a fishbone in our throats? How can you have such thoughts! If you really make a scene like this, believe it or not, I will be the first to pull out a gun and shoot you! "
"Come! You come! I'm a coward if I'm afraid of you! "
Old Master Lin's frown deepened. "All of you, shut up! All of you, stop talking! "
Baldy Old Jiang sat down, still angry. He glared at Old Master Ye. "This is ridiculous. Back then, you were the one who agreed to push Ouyang Tianxing to the position of the Special Affairs Bureau Chief. We haven't even held you accountable for this. Now you actually have such thoughts. Have you been living like a dog all these years? "
"You!"
Old Master Ye was about to explode again, but Old Master Lin glared at him again. He sat down helplessly, knowing that what he had said earlier was unpopular. He had gone overboard.
However, he was also anxious. Old Cao had begged him over the phone in tears. He sympathized with his old brother.
At this time, Old Master Jin said in a steady tone, "Although I don't know what happened to Chen Guang that made his personality different from before, making him seem a little violent and stubborn, I think he's still a good person. His hatred for evil hasn't changed. He's right about one thing. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. Those who make mistakes should pay the price. It's just that some people acted too quickly. Now that there's no evidence, and Little Chen is stubborn and unwilling to give in, the situation is in a stalemate for the time being.
"His attitude is also very clear. If we don't come up with a convincing decision, I'm afraid he won't let the matter go. We don't want to see things develop to that point, and we can't force him to go against us just because of this. Don't forget, with his personality, it's possible that he would do something like this. When he was just an ordinary student, he once fought to the death with Xu Lizheng and his son from Gokyo University. At that time, this matter caused an uproar in the country, and in the end, both Xu Lizheng and his son lost their lives.
"If we're talking about the disparity in status, the difference between him and Xu Lizheng back then is much greater than the difference between him and us now. Furthermore, it was said that those who practiced martial arts all had a courageous and diligent heart. In the path of martial arts, they especially pursued a clear mind. Otherwise, it would form a demonic barrier in their hearts, and there was even the risk of qi deviation. I think that the change in his personality has something to do with the change in his personal strength. The world's number one martial artist, of course, has the world's number one sharp heart. He's not willing to lower his head because he's afraid that his Daoist heart is unstable. "
Old Man Ye sneered and said, "Old Jin, I'm afraid that you've been reading too many useless wuxia novels recently. Where's your Daoist heart? "
Old Man Jin did not mind this person's disdain and only smiled. "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated. Although the martial artists depicted in wuxia novels might not be completely correct, they still have some value for reference. Those martial artists have never left any ancient records for us. From our standpoint, if we want to understand them, other than gathering information, there's no harm in reading novels."
All the old men fell silent. Although they felt that Old Man Jin's analysis was a little strange, it was not without reason.
However, this was not good news.
If it really involved that unreasonable Daoist heart, it would only prove that there was no possibility of Chen Guang retreating.
Then, no one would be able to change his decision.
However, the situation had finally stabilized, and no one could bear the severe consequences of forcing him onto the same path as Ouyang Tianxing.
However, these old men were old now, and they appreciated each other. They pitied Old Man Cao and could not bear to see Old Man Cao and his son pay a heavy price for this.
They did not want to admit that Chen Guang had not fallen out with them, but everyone knew that they and their families had special rights. If they made a mistake, they did not need to receive the harshest punishment like normal people.
"To be honest, it's still Old Jiang's granddaughter's problem. Why are you talking about this with Chen Guang?"
Another old man who was also on Cao Zhengming's side said sarcastically.
When Baldy Old Jiang heard that, he was angry. "Yo, didn't you just say that you don't have any evidence? Now you're blaming my granddaughter? Isn't this just showing that he's hiding something? My granddaughter is young, kind, and naive. She was deceived by some uncles with evil intentions. Isn't that uncle even more hateful? Today, he betrayed Chen Guang. Tomorrow, he'll betray all of us. Do you believe me? When we go to the underworld of the underworld, let's see who still has the face to speak up for him. In my opinion, we should arrest him now and interrogate him! Even if we don't have any evidence, we can still get some if we interrogate him! "
"Old Jiang, your way of thinking is a little biased. We all know that, so I won't beat around the bush. If Xiao Cao really did this, I think that what really angered Chen Guang might not be the fact that he was betrayed or plotted against. Old Jiang's granddaughter should be a girl who is as innocent as a piece of white paper. She would never get involved in these things. I think she must be under a lot of pressure this time. Based on my guess about Chen Guang, he might be feeling indignant for Old Jiang's granddaughter. "
The other old man said something that was clear.
"But isn't he close to Old Jin's granddaughter? Old Jiang's granddaughter … "
The other old men swept their gazes over the two old men's faces with deep meaning.
Old Jiang and Old Jin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Old Man Jin, on the other hand, was quick to calm down. "Young people should deal with their own matters. I've never interfered. Besides, Chen Guang and my granddaughter are innocent now, but Old Qin is right. But what Old Qin said just now is right. Even if it's just for the sake of friendship, it's reasonable for him to stand up for Solomon. "
Old Jiang also said anxiously, "Yes! They're just friends! That brat, Chen Guang, is too dirty. Even if Solomon has such thoughts, I will definitely not agree to it! "
