In the private room,
Huang Boren and Bi Youlong, two old friends of many years, were still drinking. It was as if all their troubles would be digested with the alcohol afterwards. They had a feeling that as long as they could drink until their brains were not working well, all their troubles would not be able to catch up with them.
However,
The kind of reality that you did not want to happen would always take the initiative to come to you when you were depressed.
Dong Dong Dong..
A series of knocking sounds suddenly came from the wooden door, immediately interrupting the cheerful drinking in the room.
"Are there any dishes that haven't been served?" Bi Youlong, who was sitting closest to the door of the private room, immediately put down his wine glass and slowly got up from his seat. He walked straight to the door that was knocked on by someone outside.
Unfortunately..,
Before Bi Youlong could personally open the door of the private room, and before Huang Boren could say that the dishes had been served long ago, the wooden door that was not locked was gently pushed open from the outside.
"You..." Bi Youlong stood in front of the door. As the wooden door slowly opened, he saw the face of the person standing outside the door with a bottle of wine. He was originally slightly tipsy, but he was immediately sobered up by the other party.
Creak..
The wooden door slowly hit the not-so-thick wall of the private room,
Liu Xiaojiang calmly walked into the room with a palm-sized wine bottle. His gaze swept across Bi Youlong, who looked like he was not to be trifled with, and Huang Boren, who was still sitting in his seat but had long been stunned on the spot, he said,
"Director Bi, Director Huang, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you mind if I sit down and chat with you for a while?"
As he said that..,
He handed the bottle of expensive white wine in his hand to Bi Youlong and said,
"Maotai, although it's not as expensive as the foreign wine outside, it can still be considered a very high-end thing. Moreover... with our Chinese taste, we can't get used to those messy things."
"It's enough..."
"Ying... Xiao Jiang, why are you here?" Huang Boren reacted and immediately put down his wine glass. He pressed his hands on the table and stood up with an extremely serious gaze,
"Could it be that it's our turn this time?!"
In an instant..,
Just as Huang Boren's voice fell.
Bi Youlong, who was standing in front of Liu Xiaojiang, suddenly narrowed his eyes. Not only did he not take the wine personally handed to him by Liu Xiaojiang, but he quickly raised his right hand and stabbed towards Liu Xiaojiang's face.
This karate chop was undoubtedly to take advantage of Liu Xiaojiang's relaxed vigilance … to kill him in one strike!
However,
Kacha!
Liu Xiaojiang did not retract his arm that was holding the wine. Instead, he raised his other hand in front of him as if he was prepared. After firmly blocking Bi Youlong's hand knife, he immediately clenched his hand into a fist … and easily broke Bi Youlong's four fingers that were pressed together to form a knife!
"I should say that as expected of Chairman Bi..." Liu Xiaojiang clearly saw that Bi Youlong did not say a word after his fingers were broken. Instead, he wanted to immediately launch the next attack. He could not help but directly stop the other party, he said, "As expected of a director who was promoted from the frontline?"
"You are decisive enough, but unfortunately, the two of you here are not enough to escape from my hands. Even if you try your best to resist... you will only suffer more pain."
"So..."
At this point..,
He slowly let go of the hand that had broken Bi Youlong's fingers and said, "I advise you to give up."
"You don't want to hurt the ordinary people downstairs because of that slim hope... right?"
Hearing this..,
Bi Youlong, who didn't care about Liu Xiaojiang's threats and thought that he would fight even if he died, instantly stopped his undamaged hand that was about to stab Liu Xiaojiang again.
"You... Shameless!"
"Hmph..." Liu Xiaojiang knew that he and Bi Youlong basically wouldn't have any common language, so he wasn't angry at all because of such insults. Instead, he walked around the strong old man in front of him, he took the wine bottle and walked to the dining table to sit down.
"If you really want to talk about shamelessness..."
"I, Yinggou, am far inferior to the people in your company. When I was working as a temporary worker in Alcatraz, I and you people could be considered to be taking what we needed. But later on, I clearly didn't do anything, but you... insisted on letting me die outside and even attacked the people around me."
"Chairman Bi, you can think carefully. Am I really more shameless than you?"
"That was Su Cheng's own decision. It was only Qu Tong's idea to attack Chen Duo!" Bi Youlong held his broken finger and turned to look at Liu Xiaojiang. His words revealed information that Huang Boren didn't know before.
"Old Bi, you... actually know that Qu Tong?" Huang Boren naturally immediately noticed the main point of these words.
Seeing this..,
Bi Youlong, who knew that he had spilled the beans, couldn't help but look at Huang Boren apologetically. "Old Huang, I..."
"You don't just know her?" Liu Xiaojiang smiled and unscrewed the wine bottle in his hand. He took the wine glass that no one had used before and said,
"I'm afraid that even Su Cheng and Chairman Zhao don't know that Qu Tong has planted spies around them a long time ago. Otherwise, how could Qu Tong know about the incident in Green Touring Village?"
"Old Bi, is what he said true?" Huang Boren instantly remembered what had happened in the past, especially the secret transportation route of Ma Xianhong in Green Touring Village, and the company employees who were killed and injured because of the betrayal.
"..." Although Bi Youlong didn't answer, the meaning of his expression was already very obvious.
"You... why!?" Huang Boren angrily threw the wine glass at Bi Youlong's feet. Obviously, he had never thought that the person who had betrayed the company would actually be this old man who had worked in the company with him for many years.
"Old Huang, I... I... don't know why." Bi Youlong swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Without a doubt, he did not want to find a reason for his betrayal.
But little did he know..,
Bi Youlong's particularly unyielding performance was so detestable in Huang Boren's eyes. He did not admire him like outsiders.
So..,
Seeing that Huang Boren was greatly agitated, his chest rose and fell a lot more violently because of Bi Youlong,
Liu Xiaojiang filled the wine glass in front of him and said, "Actually... this matter is not entirely Director Bi's fault. After all, he was once a front-line employee."
"At that time, the company did not have a temporary worker system. The content of the work would inevitably cause some employees to be confused. Those with weaker temperaments would even begin to doubt the purpose of their actions and whether the company really existed... It's normal for two hands to take advantage of the situation."
"Moreover, a person like Director Bi only looks very strong. Although it's very difficult for him to be shaken by anything once he has made up his mind, once he's really shaken... he can't even compare to some open-minded young people."
As he said that..,
He picked up the wine glass, stood up, and walked towards Bi Youlong. He handed the wine glass to the other party's uninjured left hand.
"Director Bi, I think Qu Tong should have had a lot of contact with you in the past. Can you tell me... before you were controlled by her, why didn't you report her intentional approach to the company?"
"If you dare to throw away the wine in your hand, there will definitely be no living person in this small tavern today..."
Hearing this..,
Bi Youlong grabbed the wine glass that almost slipped out of his hand. Then, he ignored the wine that he had wasted. He raised his head and looked at Liu Xiaojiang angrily, "You guessed right.
"You're right. I was too careless. I thought that the Glorious Star Society only wanted to rely on the company to get information. After all, the Glorious Star Society was just an unknown charity organization at that time, and it had been helping those mutants with tragic backgrounds. The company had no reason to refuse to help her."
"She only took the opportunity to use her ability to control my thoughts when I was confused because of work. Otherwise... how could that woman, Qu Tong, affect my loyalty to the company!"
"But it's also because she always helped you with your plans and even used her ability to help you complete a lot of things. That's why you, Director Bi, are now a director of the company... isn't it?" Liu Xiaojiang walked back to the dining table disapprovingly. He sat down and picked up the wine bottle to pour two glasses of wine that he had brought with him.
After all, regarding the matter between Qu Tong and Bi Youlong, as early as when he used the corpse poison to control Qu Tong and obtained her memories, he had already known all the secrets behind the two of them. He waited until Qu Tong was no longer of any use before he personally cut off her head.
Although from Qu Tong's corpse, Liu Xiaojiang only came into contact with her for a moment before he personally twisted her neck, even if it was only for a short moment, it was enough for him.
After Liu Xiaojiang's explanation, Huang Boren noticed the word 'control' and gradually calmed down. He understood that Bi Youlong's betrayal did not come from his heart, and his heart more or less felt a little better.
Moreover..,
Apart from Bi Youlong's problem, there was obviously a bigger problem at hand.
"Liu Xiaojiang, what exactly do you want? Wuyue told me before that you're not such an extreme person."
"Then you probably haven't seen Wuyue recently..."
"What do you mean? Could it be..."
"No, nothing." Liu Xiaojiang obviously didn't want to talk about this nonsense with Huang Boren. After all, he wasn't that familiar with Huang Boren and Bi Youlong.
"I'm here... just to ask the two of you a question. Getting the answer will be considered as achieving my goal."
As he said that..,
He casually threw the glass filled with wine at Huang Boren, but he didn't let the wine spill out, nor did he let the glass shatter on the ground. Instead, he made it stop in front of the other party in an extremely strange instant. The wine in it also seemed to be frozen in time, it didn't move from the beginning to the end.
"Director Huang, you should try it too..."
Seeing this..,
Huang Boren frowned and reached out to grab the wine glass. He thought that there might be some danger in it, but he found that his actions didn't cause any resistance. Instead, he held the wine glass in his hand as if it was eating and drinking.
"You suddenly came here just to ask us a question?"
"Ah..." Liu Xiaojiang saw that Huang Boren also held the wine glass in his hand. He immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him without hesitation and drank the relatively expensive wine in one gulp, he said,
"I just want to ask you, as members of the company's board of directors, what do the two of you think of the inhumans...?"
Huang Boren didn't expect the question to be so simple. For a moment, he couldn't understand what Liu Xiaojiang meant. "What do we think of the inhumans?"
However, Bi Youlong wasn't as unhurried as Huang Boren. As there were many innocent people present at this moment, he didn't even think about it and directly answered,
"Hmph, I thought it was a question. As a member of the company, don't you know the company's attitude towards the inhuman community?"
"Are you talking about the company's attitude?" Liu Xiaojiang turned his head to look at Bi Youlong, whose eyes were still filled with killing intent, and said,
"What I mean is, after excluding the company, as the company's board of directors, as a member of the inhuman community, your attitude towards the inhuman community..."
"I just want to know your personal views on the inhuman community, not the company's butt and philosophy... Do you understand?"
"If it's not consistent with the company's philosophy..." Bi Youlong insisted, "How can we be qualified to become the company's board of directors?"
"It doesn't matter what your thoughts are." Liu Xiaojiang crossed his legs indifferently and said, "Anyway, Zhao Fangxu is the real person in charge of the company. Under him... As long as you have the ability to do things, what does it matter if your thoughts and attitudes are different?"
"If your thoughts and attitudes are different, you can more or less provide some other suggestions to Zhao Fangxu. After all, he, Chairman Zhao... has never been a person who likes to make his own decisions, and it's not impossible for him to listen to the reasonable opinions of others around him."
"But unfortunately..."
"Your performance in the past has been too disappointing. Either you take extreme measures, or you completely listen to Zhao Fangxu's opinions. You don't really play the role of the company's board of directors."
"So..."
"I want to know if you really don't have any other calm thoughts in your minds other than those stupid extreme ideas?"
When Bi Youlong heard this kind of scolding, he couldn't help but crush the wine glass in his hand. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said,
"Since Chairman Zhao's decision is right, and the company's philosophy is extremely correct, why should we..."
However..,
Liu Xiaojiang didn't give Bi Youlong a chance to continue speaking this time. He even crushed the wine glass in his hand angrily, allowing the expensive wine to flow from his hand to the ground. His gaze was already as if he was looking at a dead person who couldn't speak.
The next second..,
The fragments of the wine glass on the ground turned into a ray of light, slanting from bottom to top and piercing straight through Bi Youlong's forehead...
Liu Xiaojiang got up and walked in front of Bi Youlong. Before the other party gradually lost consciousness and fell to the ground, he grabbed the other party's neck, and then... quickly pulled the head out of the body, perfectly pulling out the other party's entire spine.
"I've already said..."
"I just want to know your own views on the Inhumans. If your personal thoughts are the same as the company's... then what are you, the directors, for?"
As soon as he finished speaking..,
He casually threw Bi Youlong's head on the dining table, and even threw it into the boiling iron pot. The remaining blood quickly contaminated the entire pot of clear soup, which undoubtedly looked like a dish for Huang Boren.
A meat dish called 'human scorpion'.
