Chapter 1552

Xue Long nodded slightly and said immediately: "Master, let's not speak in riddles. I did have such thoughts before, and I wanted to defect to Zhang Lin, but having said that, I have followed you wholeheartedly for so many years, yet you wanted to kill me; this is too unkind."

At this moment, Xue Long simply used the tactic of "burning the boats"; he was realistic. He understood that if he tried to evade his previous thoughts and said something like he just went out and had no intention of betraying Wang Canghai.

As long as such words were spoken, Xue Long believed that even if Wang Canghai had the heart to keep his life, he would directly change his mind. But now, using such words to simply and bluntly state all his thoughts.

Then for Wang Canghai, it could instead transmit a good effect.

Sure enough, Wang Canghai raised his eyebrows slightly the next moment and said: "Good! A good Xue Long; you really have eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard. Don't forget that your life was given by me, and I can take it at any time."

Xue Long nodded slowly and said: "In the past, I had no way to refute your statement, but after so many years, it's still the same sentence: I have no credit, but I have hard work. Now I just want to keep my life; is that wrong?"

"If you leave this life, I can do many things for you. I looked for Zhang Lin before; although I didn't see him, I saw his assistant. The only sentence Zhang Lin left for me was that he wanted a 'pledge of allegiance'."

Wang Canghai's eyes flashed with a different color upon hearing this, and he asked with interest: "A pledge of allegiance, huh? Could it be that you came back this time to kill me?"

Xue Long gave a self-deprecating smile, shook his head, and said: "Master, you look down on me too much; I don't have the guts to kill you, and even if I had the guts, I don't have the ability."

Wang Canghai gave a cold snort and said: "It's good that you know this point. Then you standing in front of me now is to ask for an explanation?"

Xue Long immediately denied Wang Canghai's statement and then said himself: "It's not asking for an explanation, just wanting to keep a life. I want to live; this is not wrong. No one wants to die for no reason, including you."

"What you have been pursuing all these years is immortality, and why you want immortality in the end is because of the power you control. And I am not a big figure like you; I just want to steal a life, hoping you can give me a chance."

Wang Canghai pondered seriously for a moment, then beckoned for Xue Long to stand behind him again, just like before, and Xue Long was very honest this time, standing directly behind Wang Canghai.

Together with him, he watched the live broadcast. Next, Wang Canghai watched the live broadcast without speaking again; Xue Long still had no bottom in his heart.

Wang Canghai didn't kill him at the first opportunity, which meant that his words earlier had a certain effect. Of course, there might be another layer of reason here, which was that Wang Canghai didn't take him seriously at all.

Under this premise, no matter what choice Xue Long made, it had no meaning to Wang Canghai; in fact, this latter guess was the one that was truly persuasive.

A person like Wang Canghai would never care about the lives of his subordinates, whether his subordinates betrayed him or not.

Or whether his subordinates were selling their lives wholeheartedly for him, Wang Canghai would not hesitate to abandon his subordinates who were supposedly loyal at the most critical moment.

In fact, if you think about it from another angle, you should understand that even his own relatives Wang Canghai had never cherished. In this world, Wang Canghai no longer had anyone worth caring about.

Based on this, if Xue Long wanted to keep his life, he had to find another way; he didn't deliberately talk about feelings with Wang Canghai, nor did he desperately emphasize what credit he had. Instead, he talked about wanting to keep a life and wanting to live in the cracks.

If Wang Canghai had other thoughts, for Xue Long, that would be a path to survival; Xue Long didn't count on Wang Canghai having any compassion.
