No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
Outside the door.
"Old Wen! Look at you, you're as skinny as a dog, how come you're so brave?"
After Wen Xiuyuan came out, Bai Peng sighed, "You dare to say anything?"
"You think my calves aren't trembling?"
Wen Xiuyuan completely lost his previous momentum and smiled bitterly: "But if I don't tell her, she will be alone and sometimes she really can't figure out everything!"
"Aren't you afraid that she'll really turn against you?"
Bai Peng said seriously: "After all, she is now the chief district chief."
"I'm scared! Even if I'm scared, I have to say it!"
Wen Xiuyuan sighed.
"Why are you sighing?"
"Although what I just said is true, she must be very angry."
"Of course! Your finger is almost sticking in my face!"
"If she gets angry, she might cut my research funding."
Wen Xiuyuan said slowly.
Bai Peng was stunned for a moment: "Is this what you are worried about?"
"What else?"
Wen Xiuyuan patted Bai Peng and said, "Brother, how many years have we known each other?"
"Don't try to get close to me, we're not familiar with each other!"
Bai Peng realized something was wrong!
But Wen Xiuyuan laughed shamelessly and said, "Anyway, we're here together today. If she really wants to cut my funding, you can give me some from your military budget!"
"Fuck you!"
…
"What are you thinking about?"
The first floor lobby of Points Plaza.
Gao Kexin sat in the corner, looking thoughtful as she watched Ning Fan and several captains discussing something.
Huizi's voice came from beside him.
Gao Kexin looked up and replied calmly, "I didn't think anything."
Huizi sat next to Gao Kexin carelessly.
Gao Kexin subconsciously moved to the side.
Huizi was not dissatisfied, but lit a cigarette.
"Isn't it tiring to live with all these thorns on your body?"
Gao Kexin was stunned.
Huizi didn't even look at her, as if talking to himself: "To be honest, I really can't empathize with your situation, but I can understand the feeling of being betrayed by loved ones."
Gao Kexin looked at Huizi with some surprise.
Huizi smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I've never been betrayed by my family, but I can imagine how it feels."
Gao Kexin lowered her head and said nothing.
In fact, during this period of time, she has been very silent and spends most of her time sitting alone in the corner.
In her heart, she did not belong here.
Perhaps it can also be said that she herself does not know where she belongs.
"Keren, since you are alive, you have to look forward."
Huizi sighed softly, "You have already killed the person you wanted to kill, and we have also helped you avenge the revenge you wanted."
"If you keep agonizing over it, no one will pity you."
Gao Kexin frowned and looked at Huizi: "I don't need your pity..."
"Beautiful lady, please understand what is good and what is bad!"
Huizi blew out a puff of smoke and pointed outside the door: "Have you seen how crazy those people have been these past few days just to get a bite to eat?"
Huizi turned his head: "Are you hungry?"
Gao Kexin pursed her lips.
"That's because I'm useful to you."
"Yes! We have no relatives or friends. If you are worthless, why should we provide you with good food and drink?"
Huizi scoffed, "Do you know how many people right now are hoping for a chance to prove their worth in front of Ning Fan?"
"Also, you said you have value. Let me ask you, in your own opinion, what is your value to us?"
Huizi asked again.
Gao Kexin was speechless.
In fact, up to now, she still didn't know why Ning Fan kept her.
What Gao Songchao did to her made her subconsciously think that her own value...
Just a bargaining chip.
"Look, you don't even know what value you can provide to us, yet you still eat our food and accept our protection with peace of mind, and in turn, you are on guard against us."
Huizi chuckled: "Don't you think you're a little pretentious?"
Gao Kexin stopped talking.
Huizi continued, "Let's not talk about the distant past, just look at this F70 area. Who doesn't have a story? If you keep feeling sorry for yourself, it'll only make people annoyed over time."
"What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is very simple."
Huizi said softly, "Ning Fan asked you to stay here so that you can see clearly that we are not the same kind of people as Gao Songchao."
"If you're smart enough, you should be able to understand some things in the next few days."
"If you think we're a good group, just express your opinion sooner rather than act like you're trying to be pretentious."
"But if you still can't trust anyone and feel like everyone is out to trick you, then you should tell Ning Fan as soon as possible and do what needs to be done."
"Honestly, I don't know why Ning Fan is so fond of you, but we've come this far without you."
"You may be very important, but it doesn't mean I will die without you."
"We've been pretty polite to you lately, but let me tell you something you might not like. It's not because of what happened to you, and certainly not because of how good-looking you are."
"That's because of Ning Fan!"
"Ning Fan said you have value, and we believe him. We don't even need to ask him what your value is."
"But when Ning Fan really doesn't care about you anymore..."
"No matter how pitiful you are, what does it have to do with us?"
At this point, Huizi had just finished smoking a whole cigarette.
