Jiang Yage first refilled his cup with water, then continued to sit opposite him thoughtfully, not saying a word for a long time.
"Look at you. Don't hide it. Don't you think I don't know you? You're a person who can't hide things in your heart. You're the same as Lin Jingwei. You're also here to persuade me, right? "
"Alas, you still saw through me."
Chen Guang said angrily, "It's almost written on your face!"
Jiang Yage covered her face in a panic. "Ah? Did I behave so badly? I can't even hide this little thing. Fortunately, I haven't been filming recently. Otherwise, Big Beard would really be angry to death. "
"Alright, alright. Since we're talking, say what you want to say in one breath. Don't worry about me. I may not listen to you even if you say it, right?"
Jiang Yage poked his shoulder shyly with her finger. "You're so annoying!"
Chen Guang felt goosebumps all over his body. At this moment, he was reminded of Jiang Yage, who had tormented him with all sorts of tricks in the past.
"Actually, I'm the same as you. I hate Uncle Cao so much that I can't wait to find trouble with him."
Chen Guang interrupted her. "Just say what you want to say next. We're on the same side. Don't beat around the bush."
Jiang Yage was choked by him again. She was embarrassed and angry. She rushed up and hit his shoulder with both hands.
Chen Guang knew that she was depressed, so he pretended to struggle. In fact, he didn't really resist and let her hit him. He let her vent a little. It wouldn't hurt anyway.
After the two of them had a good fight, Jiang Yage got up with a red face and tidied up her messy clothes. She felt a lot more relaxed after this.
"Seriously, you can get up now."
Chen Guang lay on the sofa sideways.
It turned out that Jiang Yage had unknowingly sat on his lap.
Unexpectedly, not only did she refuse to get up, she mischievously shook her butt, "I'm not getting up! I don't want you to be angry with me. I remember you promised me before, right? Didn't you promise me a few things in the toilet of the Yi Nuo Club in Beijing? "
Chen Guang smiled bitterly and nodded. "Yes, what I said at the time was that as long as it doesn't violate my principles, everything is fine."
"Then I'll mention it today. My request today is that you don't get angry with me!"
Chen Guang felt the strange touch when his thighs touched her buttocks, and his brain began to soften bit by bit. "Sure, no problem."
"That's good! First of all, Grandpa and the rest didn't mean to make you unhappy. The reason why they want you to step down from the position of the Director of the Guangding General Administration is that you are young and impulsive sometimes. The situation now is different from before. The General Administration will definitely have to be restructured, and there will be a lot of changes to the responsibilities and power you will bear in the future. You are a little lazy, so they think you should practice for a period of time and wait for the right time to take on such a big responsibility in the future. "
After listening, Chen Guang wasn't in a hurry to express his opinion. "Did they teach you to say all this?"
Jiang Yage nodded. "Yes. You know I'm not interested in these things."
"You are so silly!"
"Why?"
"Their beautiful words sound nice, but in reality, to put it bluntly, isn't it because I am different from Lin Jingwei and even Cao Zhengming? I am not a second or third generation, and I am not one of their own. It's not that I have any opinions about Lin Jingwei and the rest, but no one can deny that if it wasn't me, but Lin Jingwei or Bai Hua, or even Xue Lin, who they want to push up, they would not have such thoughts. This kind of words can be used to deceive children, but it doesn't mean anything to me. "
Chen Guang paused and said, "In the past, I didn't want to do it, but at that time, they had a favor to ask of me and Wenwen, so they forced me to sit here and forced me to do it. Okay, no problem. Because the situation required it, I also coveted the benefits, so I sat here. In such a long period of time, I have been ambushed and assassinated more than once or twice. Did I really not encounter any danger? Not necessarily, but I braced myself and endured it, and I survived. "
Jiang Yage listened to his words and felt more and more uncomfortable. She tightly pursed her lips and said, "I am sorry."
"What do you have to be sorry for?"
"I am speaking for my grandfather and the rest."
"No, no, no. You can't represent them, and you have no obligation. Now that Ouyang Tianxing is dead, the crisis is over, and I haven't even asked for any benefits, but they want me to leave and give me a job to retire. Although I really hope so, these words can't come out of their mouths. I can only ask for it myself! I am only twenty-one years old this year. How can they take the initiative to let me retire? They are simply toying with me! "
"Don't they see that Wenwen and I are different from Ouyang Tianxing? We are upright, have good personalities, and don't have Ouyang Tianxing's cunning and evil intentions? This is really a case of a kind person getting bullied, and a kind horse getting ridden! "
Jiang Yage saw that he was getting angrier as he spoke and quickly persuaded him, "Don't be like this. Then I won't talk about this anymore. Just pretend I didn't mention it. As long as you don't agree, no one can let you go! "
Chen Guang smiled and said rather domineeringly, "Of course."
"Then I will continue talking about Cao Zhengming. Grandfather and the rest do want me to be the peacemaker. They want me to tell you that I don't mind. They think you are standing up for me, right? "
If it was the normal Chen Guang, he would definitely smile and say that it was true. But now, Chen Guang was not normal. He only smiled indifferently and said, "This is indeed part of the reason, but only part of it. Yes, I admit that even if there was no news of Cao Zhengming, I would have gone to Ninghai Province. He really didn't have too much direct influence on the matter, but he interfered with my judgment. You all saw that I was invincible at that time, but only I knew how dangerous the situation was when I was held hostage. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a narrow escape from death. If it wasn't for that ambush, if it wasn't for Long Dingtian drugging Sect Leader Xin and Sect Leader Wu in advance, they wouldn't have been so powerless to fight back and be slaughtered. "
"I am partly responsible for the death of the two seniors. Long Dingtian and Six Swords Sect's Zhuge Ling are also responsible. Ghost Shadow, who forced them to die on the spot, is also partly responsible. Indirectly, Cao Zhengming, who interfered with my judgment and made me doubt Long Dingtian but was eventually dispelled, is also partly responsible! I have done some things to offset my own mistakes. Long Dingtian, Zhuge Ling, and Ghost Shadow have been killed by me. Then, only Cao Zhengming is left! "
"In addition, he didn't succeed in trying to harm me this time. But the hatred between people is not so simple. Even if he was the one who provoked me, it's not something that I can let go of. He will still be afraid of my revenge, and he will continue to spy on me in the dark. Once I relinquish power, or when I reveal a flaw in the future, he will definitely continue to strike first without hesitation to prevent himself from having more problems! "
"This grudge has already been formed, and it's like a crack on a glass. There's no possibility of it healing completely. This may seem like a small matter, but it's a situation that will not rest until one side is dead. You didn't see it clearly enough, and the elders are too optimistic. Of course, I won't close my eyes and wait for death. Rather than being coveted by others and putting myself, family, and friends in danger, I might as well strike first and eliminate the root of the problem to prevent future troubles! "
Jiang Yage's mouth opened wider and wider. "Is it really that serious?"
Chen Guang nodded. "That's right. From what I see, it is that serious."
He had seen too many cases of life and death battles in the Land of True Martial. Right now, he was still in the state of a Saint Emperor, and a Saint Emperor's outlook on life was indeed this straightforward.
"At the end of the day, it all boils down to the fact that I've never been on the same side as the elders and Cao Zhengming. Do you understand? Otherwise, Cao Zhengming wouldn't have wanted to deal with me in the first place. "
Jiang Yage was completely convinced by Chen Guang. From a personal point of view, she even wanted to personally help Chen Guang deal with Cao Zhengming.
However, she couldn't do that, so she was at a loss for a moment.
"But I still don't want you and Grandpa to fight to that point. Your forcefulness will put you in a very dangerous situation. Even if Cao Zhengming pays the price this time, in the future … Sigh, is there really no way to resolve the grudge?"
"No! There's no turning back! "
"You know that I don't actually want to speak up for Cao Zhengming. I'm worried about you …"
Chen Guang interrupted her. "Alright, stop talking. Where's the fearless Jiang Yage that I used to know? There's nothing to be afraid of in one's life. Weren't you bolder than me in the past? This time, you don't have to worry. There's absolutely no one in this world that can touch me! Even if your grandfather and I fight tit for tat, they won't be able to hurt me. You don't have to worry too much. For the sake of you and Lin Jingwei, I won't be too extreme. I just want an explanation after all. "
Chen Guang used to stand at the peak of power in the Land of Zhenwu. On the opposite side of him, the elders in Yan Jing also stood at the peak of power in this era.
On the surface, there seemed to be a huge difference in status between the two, but in Chen Guang's heart, there was no difference at all.
I'm the same as you. We represent different peaks. You're at the peak of power in the secular world, while I'm at the peak of personal strength.
Jiang Yage looked at him with a bitter face. She was in an indescribable dilemma.
She also thought that Cao Zhengming should pay the price, but her grandfather had already said that on the phone. She didn't want to see Chen Guang fall out with them.
She couldn't help but regret. If she had known that this would happen, she wouldn't have come to Wu Jing early in the morning. She wouldn't have answered her grandfather's phone call. Why did she have to suffer in this crevice?
On the other side, Chen Guang was a little hesitant. He wanted to leave directly, but when he saw the big bed in the bedroom opposite the living room, he couldn't move his feet.
Forget it. I'm already here anyway. If I drive away in this state, it'll be a standard super tired driving.
That's right. As a law-abiding veteran driver, how could he drive while tired?
"Hey, if there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep first. I haven't slept for almost 50 hours!"
Standing up, Chen Guang strode towards the bedroom with the ham.
Even if the sky falls down, even if the world ends, don't think about stopping me from sleeping!
