Chapter 424: Kong Shi's Ghost Plot
"He hasn't died; he's staying in our city's mental hospital. I hid him in the mental hospital."
"By the way, I gave him plastic surgery, making him look like me. So outsiders can't notice at all," I said.
After I finished speaking, Kong Shi shook his head,
"Jianqiang, how many things have you been doing right under my nose that I didn't know at all? I always thought that, relying on the Zhou Family, I could easily defeat you; it seems I was really wrong."
"You, you're too amazing."
"I admire you, admire you to the point of prostration. I've already seen the dawn of your victory."
"Don't flatter me, Kong Shi. There are still many things ahead; the Zhou Family's power is still strong, and Liu Shiru is hunting me everywhere. It's not even at that stage yet; the road ahead will be even harder."
"Because their counterattack will be even stronger. Kong Shi, have you thought about it? If you keep going this way, it will become even more dangerous," I said, looking at Kong Shi.
Kong Shi took a drag of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled a ring of smoke,
"Jianqiang, of course I know. I saw Zhang Zong's ending long ago, but now I'm also in a dilemma."
"The Zhou Family I've already leaned on; getting out of it isn't that easy."
"Perhaps Liu Shiru will come straight back from Sijiucheng to kill me."
"However, the Zhou Family's defeat is already set, because his fight with the Wen Family is truly hopeless."
"The Wen Family is even stronger than him."
"Now I can only help the Wen Family with a little task, hoping that later we can lessen their handling of us. Jianqiang, this matter still requires you to say a few more kind words in front of Wen Han in the future."
"Guarantee that I'm safe," Kong Shi said pitifully.
I smiled,
"Kong Shi, speaking kindly is only one side; you also need to show sincerity as your token of allegiance. You've already helped me, so there's no turning back. We can only help to the end."
"Think about it: whether it's the Wen Family or the Zhou Family, what they hate most are people without loyalty, those who walk on two boats. The Wen Family still wants to see your actions; after they see your actions and your stance, I'm sure the Wen Family will definitely make good use of you," I said.
Kong Shi kept smoking without speaking,
After a while,
Kong Shi finally spoke,
"Jianqiang, I have a plan, not sure how it is."
"Tell me."
"I want to scheme against Liu Shiru."
"Liu Shiru, this man is ruthless and highly suspicious. What method do you have to deal with him?"
"Jianqiang, this requires you to cooperate with me. My plan is to report to Liu Shiru that I discovered you in Zaocheng."
"You fled back to Zaocheng to meet Xiao Feng."
"Believe that Liu Shiru will be very pleased; he will order me to intensify the pursuit of you."
"I will claim my strength is weak, so he personally brings men from Sijiucheng to capture you."
"This way, Liu Shiru is lured from Sijiucheng to Zaocheng."
"Then, you find a way to capture Liu Shiru,"
"hand Liu Shiru over to the Wen Family for disposal. You should know Liu Shiru knows many more secrets of the Zhou Family, and he is one of Zhou Family's important figures. He is also the person Zhou Family trusts the most."
"If we catch him, I will present him to the Wen Family,"
"The Wen Family will surely be delighted; then I won't have any trouble." After hearing Kong Shi's words, I glanced at him and cursed inside,
"you damn dog, truly ruthless, selling anyone for your own benefit."
"Truly having no stance."
"Liu Shiru wouldn't even dream that Kong Shi would scheme against him."
"Using me to catch Liu Shiru, does Liu Shiru even have a chance to run?"
"When Liu Shiru hears,"
"I am in Zaocheng, Kong Shi can't"
"He will definitely fly over immediately; you know the Zhou Family and Wen Family are already in a fierce clash."
"He also won't think about anything."
"This suggestion is good."
"Only the key depends on Kong Shi's importance,"
"If his allegiance leans toward the Zhou Family, I will be captured by Liu Shiru."
"Of course, if his allegiance leans toward us, then Liu Shiru can easily get his hands on him."
"Kong Shi is playing a high game,"
"The purpose of this is to show his importance, while he will demand his chips."
"See which of the two families gives him more benefits."
"The words and matters just mentioned are trivial; now is the main point."
"That is, whether to capture me or capture Liu Shiru."
"Kong Shi has been mixing here so long, truly becoming a spirit."
"My mind has already seen through Kong Shi's intention."
"I understand what he wants."
"I must use his hand to deal with Liu Shiru."
"Strive to take Liu Shiru down in Zaocheng."
"Dammit, this guy, I hate him to death."
I looked at Kong Shi,
"This plan is good; as long as we secretly capture Liu Shiru and hand him to the Wen Family, the Wen Family will have another card, and the odds of victory will be clearly greater."
Kong Shi, I need to discuss with Wen Han.
I can't let your pledge be wasted.
Yeah, you just need to get in touch with Mr. Wen Han and explain the situation.
That way, he'll know I've put in a lot in the middle.
In the future, among the merits of defeating the Zhou Family, there will also be a substantial part from me.
I'm also relieved; as long as we defeat the Zhou Family, what else do I have to worry about? Kong Shi said with a smile.
Good, this matter is tentatively decided like this; I'll contact Wen Han tomorrow, tell him your plan, and hear what he thinks.
Do we need to take action against Liu Shiru?
The most important thing is to highlight your importance, Kong Shi, and your loyalty to the Wen Family.
Exactly, that's what I mean. Only you, Brother Jianqiang, can understand my heart. After you contact Wen Han, if they agree, get in touch with me promptly so I can arrange. Kong Shi said.
Okay, it's getting late; let's discuss this here today. Have you remembered everything I arranged?
Remembered, you can relax; the boss Hou here are all our own people, you just need to ask for what you need. Kong Shi said, standing up.
Then he bent over and actively shook my hand.
I smiled,
Fine, if I need something I'll tell Boss Hou.
After I said that, I strode out of the third-floor meeting room.
After coming out,
I took a deep breath of the outside air.
In this meeting room, Kong Shi and I smoked a roomful of cigarettes.
I quickly returned to the 12th floor of the hotel.
I didn't go directly into the room,
I sat down on the hotel stairs,
At this moment, I need to calm down.
I'm not thinking about Kong Shi's matters anymore; I'm missing Shangguan Zhuren.
Back then, when talking with Kong Shi, I had no time to let myself be sad, nor did I want to.
Now I'm finally alone, I can let myself be thoroughly sad.
I took out the last cigarette,
gazing at the darkness of the stairwell,
I habitually offered the cigarette to Shangguan Zhuren,
"Shangguan Zhuren, this is the last one; you take a puff first."
"Hehe, Jianqiang, I've quit smoking; you go first."
Shangguan Zhuren's voice came again in my ear.
Since my accident, I've been constantly with Shangguan Zhuren; without him, I surely couldn't have gotten through.
It was his full support that let me walk out of those darkest days.
"Shangguan Zhuren, may you rest in peace." I whispered.
Then I put the cigarette in my mouth,
after taking a puff,
the bitter taste welled up in my throat,
I couldn't control my emotions,
tears burst forth.
This is my deepest longing for Shangguan Zhuren in my heart; I hope he knows in the afterlife.
