Chapter 793: Meeting Liu Yong Again

After my master signaled me to pull out the dagger, I approached Liu Yong.

But I did not hold the dagger to assassinate Liu Yong.

Just to scare him a little. He was already frightened pale as earth at this point. I didn't expect them to be so afraid of death. Xiao Yan laughed.

Yeah, they're afraid of death because they have money and power; they don't want to die because they think their blessings haven't been fully enjoyed.

Unlike us, who only have our lives left. I said from the side.

Jianqiang, seeing Liu Yong scared like this, I had Xiao Yan throw down the dagger.

Then I explained the situation to Liu Yong, that we are Wen Han's people, specially sent to assassinate him.

Tell him that he lives in danger at all times,

We think killing him is as easy as turning over our hand,

but we did not kill you,

Do you know why? At that time, Liu Yong shook his head and said he didn't know.

I then explained to him that we were specially sent by Wen Han to assassinate him.

But at the last moment we gave up, because we wanted to seek protection from the Liu family.

We don't want to die.

I told Liu Yong that even if our assassination fails, Wen Han will still send others to kill him.

That is, Wen Han must have him killed.

So he is a person in the well, very dangerous.

After hearing me say this, Liu Yong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, that was a fierce light toward Wen Han,

He asked me some things about Wen Han,

I told him everything about what kind of person Wen Han is.

I want him to know that now that he has made peace with Wen Han, he will die worse than us.

Liu Yong believed us.

He asked me how to currently resolve

his predicament.

I told him that the only person who can save him is someone who has saved him before, who can save him again.

Because that is a person above the well, who can throw him a rope and let him climb out of the well.

Liu Yong immediately thought of you,

Jianqiang, I estimate Liu Yong will soon meet you.

Then you can discuss how to deal with Wen Han. He Zuming said with a smile.

Mr. He, does he suspect something between you and me? I asked.

This? He didn't ask, and I didn't say. Possibly everyone knows in their hearts.

Actually, we put on this act for him to see just to tell him,

the danger of making peace with Wen Han.

Today Wen Han doesn't kill him, tomorrow,

there are still those who want to kill him, possible at any time, leaving him unable to defend.

So his only choice is to defeat Wen Han.

How to defeat Wen Han, only by joining forces with you.

Believe Liu Yong is a smart person; asking him too many questions isn't good either.

Maybe he guessed, the relationship between me and you,

Now these aren't important; what matters is that he wants to stay alive.

If, we really were sent by Wen Han to kill him.

He would have been dead long ago.

So he has no other choice. He Zuming analyzed for me.

After hearing He Zuming's analysis,

I happily clapped,

Mr. He, what you said is,

We are just putting on an act for him to see, so he understands,

that he wants to live only by killing Wen Han,

otherwise, Wen Han will settle accounts later.

You think the Wen family knows, you hold evidence of their crimes.

That is, they live in constant fear; only by killing Liu Yong will they feel at ease.

It's just that Wen Han is petty, negotiating with Liu Yong,

the stakes offered are too low, not meeting Liu Yong's expectations; otherwise we would really be done.

Just as my words fell, the phone rang,

I saw it was a call from Zhuang Shi,

Hello, Zhuang Shi.

Hello Jianqiang, come quickly to the Reception Center, Mr. Liu wants to see you right away. Zhuang Shi said over the phone.

Okay, Zhuang Shi, I'll be there in ten minutes. I said.

After Zhuang Shi hung up the phone,

I said to He Zuming and Xiao Yan: "Liu Yong has come to Huaihai, wants to see me."

"All right, go, Jianqiang, say everything that needs to be said."

"Liu Yong has no other choice either." He Zuming said.

"All right, Mr. He, rest well at the hotel. When I return, I'll specially hold a celebration banquet for you." I said to He Zuming.

"Jianqiang, this isn't needed; some things should be low-key. Liu Yong also doesn't want people to know he was kidnapped to come talk with you."

"Xiao Yan, let's go back to the room; I'll give you a good explanation of the Book of Fate and Heavenly Secrets." After saying that, He Zuming took Xiao Yan and left.

I drove the car and quickly arrived at the Reception Center,

After arriving at the Reception Center, I also had to undergo a strict inspection.

I thought to myself, the inspection is useless,

The ancient saying goes: "In life and death, of those who follow life, thirteen out of thirty; of those who follow death, thirteen out of thirty. It is heard that those who nurture life well, on the road they encounter no rhinoceros or tiger, and entering the army they are not struck by weapons."

Since ancient times, of those who venture into life and death, three-tenths survive, and likewise three-tenths die.

Why can some people be good at surviving and protecting themselves? They encounter no tigers on the road, and in war they are not cut down.

That's because they are people who ought not to die,

Those who ought to die will die no matter what; you cannot protect them by any means.

Those who ought not to die need no protection; they simply cannot die.

Of course, I cannot say that to Liu Yong.

Actually, the more layers of protection, the greater the opportunity.

Who can guarantee that the person hired as Liu Yong's bodyguard will not be tempted by money or women?

All three of his drivers were turned by Wen Han.

After the inspection was finished, I was then taken to a room.

After a while, a waiter brought me tea and cigarettes.

I didn't see Liu Yong come over; damn, this Liu Yong's act.

Whatever act he's putting on,

I sipped tea and smoked,

with an indifferent gaze I looked at the room's furnishings.

Inside there were several traditional Chinese paintings.

All were painted by contemporary masters.

One of them was "Laozi Leaves the Pass," depicting Laozi riding a green ox westward, departing from the Hangu Pass.

As he was about to leave the pass, he was detained by Yin Xi, the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass,

Laozi wrote the more than five-thousand-character Dao De Jing.

It became a classic work of the Chinese nation.

The discussion above about death comes from Laozi's Dao De Jing,

The book contains much philosophical thought on life, enlightenment, human relations, human nature, worldly affairs, etc.

It is well worth reading.

Once you read it through, it can let you understand many things in life.

I really like this book,

After I pass forty, I will understand some of the words in the book,

what is "non-contention",

what is "lack of benevolence",

what is "holding to the center",

what is "self-quiet".

I stood up, looked at that painting, and remained silent,

thinking in my heart, over two thousand years ago, our ancient sages, with what kind of vision could they see through everything and perceive the most hidden thoughts in people's hearts?

It seemed as if the world operated according to their intentions.

After more than two thousand years, all our thoughts and actions have still not departed from their insights.

Just then the door was pushed open,

I heard footsteps; no need to ask, Liu Yong had arrived.

But I did not turn my head; my gaze remained fixed on the painting.

From behind me came Liu Yong's voice speaking,

"Jianqiang, you also like this picture of Laozi Leaving the Pass; if you like it, I'll give it to you."

I smiled, turned my head, and looked at Liu Yong saying, "Mr. Liu, I like the person in the painting, but I don't like this person's painting."

"Jianqiang, what does that mean? I didn't understand." Liu Yong said.

"Heh, my meaning is that too many words lead to exhaustion; it's better to hold to the center. This is a fine picture of Laozi Leaving the Pass, but this person painted it as an old man herding oxen. What a pity—he doesn't understand Laozi at all." I said, pointing at the painting and laughing.
