Beijing.
In an open residential area surrounded by water on all sides.
Inside the attic.
"… That's what happened." Zhao Fangxu sat on a chair with an awkward expression, but he had been observing the reaction of the old man opposite him.
"Xiao Jiang has changed completely. It can even be said that he's been bewitched …"
"The reason why he joined the Quan Xing organization was indeed to better control the source of chaos for the company, and it was also with my consent … That's why he made such a dangerous decision."
"After that …"
"He acted recklessly in the Tang Sect, causing the death of the old sect leader, Tang Miaoxing, making the Tang Sect give up on the inheritance of Danshi, and even personally annihilating one of the four great families, the Wang Family …"
"Old leader, although these things inevitably make him seem like a big villain, everything he did in the Quan Xing organization was tacitly approved by the company. In essence, he was also working hard for the stability of order."
"Little Zhao, I don't deny that you're right or wrong, but this … is too extreme." The old man sat on a chair with the help of a walking stick, patiently listening to Zhao Fangxu's narration of the past. There was no emotion on his old face, but there was still a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Old leader, I understand what you mean …" Zhao Fangxu heard the old man's disapproval of these things and couldn't help but explain immediately.
"But since we want something, we have to pay an equal price. Although the company's insistence in the past seemed to have succeeded in stabilizing order, in fact, it was just burying the danger in a place that people couldn't see."
"Some things in this world can't be seen, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist …"
"The sudden emergence of a news about the source of the gas made the circle restless for a long time around Zhang Chulan. It even brought out the secrets that had not been revealed for a long time, so it hasn't really calmed down until now."
"This situation made me understand that the disappearance of the problem doesn't mean that the problem has been solved. If it's a factor that's enough to cause unrest, as long as it's not carefully dealt with, it will sooner or later lead to a situation that's even more chaotic than before …"
"The problem doesn't exist in the first place. It's just that people made mistakes in their actions that led things to develop in the wrong direction …" The old man calmly turned to look at Zhao Fangxu and said.
"Little Zhao, what you did to Liu Xiaojiang was wrong. You shouldn't have trusted a young man too much …"
"Little Su was wrong too. He cared too much about the power in his hands and tried to solve the problem of the Inhumans quickly so that he could sit on a higher position in the future …"
"I was wrong too …"
"Talking about democracy is indeed a good thing, but going too far will still hurt people in the end. I shouldn't be too hesitant about the issue of Inhumans. I should make a choice between ordinary people and Inhumans as soon as possible. After all, there is nothing perfect in this world."
"I know Little Su's character very well, and I know that he doesn't know anything about the Inhumans. However, he was chosen by everyone after a vote. Besides, even an old man like me doesn't know what to do to perfectly balance the relationship between ordinary people and Inhumans."
"So …"
"Actually, I also had some expectations for Little Su. I thought that a capable young man like him might really be able to solve the problem that troubled the old men …"
"But …"
"I didn't expect him to be so extreme. He actually chose to ignore all the previous efforts of Liu Xiaojiang just because of a little doubt in his heart. He even let a child who was tantamount to a hero bear a groundless crime and leave with hatred."
"If I were Liu Xiaojiang, I'm afraid even I would think that Little Su's death was not unjust at all …"
Seeing this, Zhao Fangxu immediately comforted him. "Old leader, how can you say that this is your …"
"But, although it's wrong …" The old man ignored Zhao Fangxu's comforting words and continued to speak slowly.
"After all, Little Su was the choice of most people. We have always been living in this era of stable order. If we can kill people casually just because we have a grudge, what's the difference between this and the chaotic era of the past …"
"Therefore …"
"This comprehensive Yinggou was also wrong. The mistake was that he valued friendship too much, so much so that he was too impulsive in dealing with problems, causing things to develop to this point today."
"It's just that …"
"I believe that in the eyes of ordinary people with normal minds, before Liu Xiaojiang committed those crimes in the northeast region, even if Little Su really died in his hands, he was still that ordinary person who deserved to be respected …"
Hearing this …
Zhao Fangxu obviously found it difficult to understand. "Old leader, what exactly are you …"
"Things aren't going well …" The old man looked at Zhao Fangxu with a glint in his eyes.
"Little Zhao, even if Liu Xiaojiang is really not human, perhaps he is related to the legendary Yinggou, his previous actions in the company all show that this child … is actually no different from a human in essence."
"Speaking of which …"
"This Liu Xiaojiang may not be a real human, but before Little Su took over your position in the company, he at least had the idea of being an ordinary person …"
"And …"
"I think that he really wants to integrate into the current stable society. He has also worked hard because of his identity. The reason why he is more loyal to the company than other temporary workers is very likely to be just in case. He wants to fully gain the trust of us before the problem erupts."
"Little Su's actions in the company even pushed him to the opposite side. If we consider this point, this can undoubtedly be considered as a kind of man-made disaster. Yinggou … is also a trouble that we caused ourselves."
"But …"
At this point …
The old man lowered his head and looked at the walking stick in his hand. Then, he continued to speak.
"If …"
"After that child Xiao Jiang became Yinggou, if he no longer wanted to integrate into society and only wanted to take revenge on those of us who had let him down, personally dealing with Little Su and us old fellows who were hiding behind him, this could be considered as a so-called 'man-made disaster'."
"But …"
"Previously, at the company headquarters, after he personally killed that child Little Su, he personally stated his true purpose. It was actually because of his disgust for the existence of humans that he wanted to carry out a so-called 'cleansing' of the entire world."
"This has obviously exceeded the scope of a 'man-made disaster'. It can even be considered a 'natural disaster' …"
"This isn't right …"
"If this is a personal psychological problem, considering that we have let him down, it seems that only Little Su's foolish actions seem to be the only thing that we have let him down. If he made such an irreversible decision just because of Little Su, then his attitude toward Little Su …
Isn't that a little too cold? "
