People don't have to pay for the sins committed in a game, right?
So,
In reality, I am meek and mild, but in the game, I strike with heavy fists.
In reality, I am law-abiding ...
Chapter 649: Double Kill
Wang Xinfa narrowed his eyes dangerously, pressing his palms heavily against the cold wall of the tank. He cut Qian Huan off without a second thought, his voice filled with undeniable concern:
"Don't worry, you just woke up and need to recuperate.
The matter of the Second Prison, the matter of the Octagonal Cage Project... Don't worry, I'm here, there won't be any problems, the sky won't fall."
Qian Huan's lips opened and closed again with difficulty, and it was obvious that there was still an unwilling protest stuck in his throat.
Wang Xinfa's assurance not only failed to soothe the anxiety in his eyes, but instead added a bit of urgency.
Power is like oxygen. Once you have tasted it, you will find it unbearable to lose it for even a moment. Even if you wake up, your life will be worse than death.
Losing the ability to move is a physical death;
Losing power is a spiritual death.
However, Wang Xinfa did not give Qian Huan a chance to speak again.
He leaned slightly closer to the glass wall of the fish tank. The gaze behind the lens suddenly became extremely stern, as if to penetrate the barrier of liquid and glass and pierce the latter's soul, but his voice was still full of concern:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. The fact that you're able to wake up tonight is already an incredible miracle. Your top priority now is to rest and recuperate.
Everything else, put it all aside!"
Wang Xinfa paused and said meaningfully:
"Don't just think about yourself, think about your mother. She cried every day while you were in a coma.
You are your mother's life. If anything happens to you, how will your mother live? "
Every word Wang Xinfa said touched Qian Huan's heart. He seemed to have been drained of all his strength in an instant, and looked at Li Hanyu with red eyes.
Li Hanyu's tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string.
She took a step forward and placed her hands firmly against the cold glass again, wanting to transfer her body warmth and strength into it.
"Huan'er, what's the Second Prison... what's the 'Octagon Cage Project'..."
The voice was filled with tears, trembling but clear as she spoke to Qian Huan, to President Lu and Wang Xinfa, and to everyone in the room:
"Mom knows that these are your hard work and your life, but... Mom doesn't care about these things.
In my life, the only thing I have devoted to is you, my dearest lover!
A mother's love is the most powerful weapon in the world that can penetrate the human heart. Even the most cold-blooded bureaucrats or unscrupulous villains cannot escape its attack.
Because no one is made out of stone, they all have mothers.
Du Changle coldly watched this scene of "deep love between mother and son" in front of him, with murderous intent in his heart like surging venom. He almost instinctively sensed that Li Hanyu was trying to gain sympathy and was putting on a show.
A strong urge almost burst through his throat; he wanted to expose this hypocritical drama on the spot.
But he couldn't. Not only that, he had to force a hypocritical expression on his fat face that was more "moved" and "compassionate" than that of others.
Because looking around, the officials in the room, not knowing whether they were really stupid or pretending to be stupid, actually had a look of sadness on their faces.
Maybe they are expressing their true feelings, maybe they are just showing off their acting skills, it doesn’t matter.
The atmosphere has been set to this point. Whether it is acting or not, it can only be real.
Feeling the forced sadness in the air, Li Hanyu cried even more movingly:
"Mom, as long as you live well and peacefully, that's enough.
For the rest, let's just follow the arrangements of President Lu and the councillors, okay? Huan'er, be obedient, Mom is begging you..."
Wang Xinfa turned his back to the crowd, his expression slightly stiff.
Li Hanyu kept asking Qian Huan to be obedient and listen to Wang Xinfa, but every word he heard was like a nail, lifting him up high in public and placing him on the charcoal fire in full view of everyone.
Sure enough, the next second, Li Hanyu's words, filled with trust and heavy entrustment, floated over and echoed in the room:
"Don't worry, Huan'er. President Lu and the councillors will definitely remember your efforts and contributions. Even if you stay in a convalescent tank for the rest of your life, President Lu and the councillors will definitely not let others bully us, an orphan and a widow.
Listen, we must trust President Lu, and even more so, Councillor Wang."
Li Hanyu used the softest tone to complete the hardest decisive move.
Wang Xinfa had experienced ups and downs in his life, and he never thought that he would be forced into a corner by a woman.
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Lu Chenjia was also forced into a dead end.
Lu Chenjia should have been angry, but his anger was far less intense than he had expected.
It was as if Li Hanyu's AoE clearly covered both of them, but most of the damage was taken by Wang Xinfa, and he didn't feel much pain.
This is strange, why is this happening?
——It must be because Councillor Wang habitually stood at the front of the team as always.
"It seems that not being the leader is not entirely a bad thing." Lu Chenjia thought with a hint of schadenfreude in his heart.
He turned his head to look at Li Hanyu, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart:
"Retreat to advance, overcome strength with softness. This woman, Li Hanyu, has mastered the art of retreat. I wonder if she planned today's scene in advance, or if she improvised..."
If she was improvising, it would be difficult for her to come up with this method in the short time when Qian Huan woke up, taking advantage of the situation and trapping Wang Xinfa. She really needs both wit, skill and courage. She is a rare talent.
If it was planned in advance, it means Qian Huan had woken up long ago, and the bodyguards Wang Xinfa and I assigned to him were all blind.
It's even more amazing that she could orchestrate and perform this drama under the surveillance of both parties and deceive everyone, haha -
Lu Chenjia changed his mind, feeling both angry and admiring, with admiration being the greater factor.
After all, he is different from Wang Xinfa. Wang Xinfa has a strong desire for control in his bones and cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.
As for Lu Chenjia, he doesn't care so much about the gains and losses of his face, and can tolerate some minor offenses. As long as there are tangible benefits, everything can be bought and sold.
Li Hanyu’s appeal must be to his son. Lu Chenjia could easily understand it, but he just didn’t know what else Li Hanyu could give for it?
If Lu Chenjia could figure out the key points in an instant, how could Wang Xinfa, who had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time, not understand it?
There was a fierce glint in his eyes, and a surge of offended anger shot straight to the top of his head.
It has been too long, too long... No one has dared to plot like this, or in other words, dared to be so "disobedient" to me.
But at this moment, he could only suppress this overwhelming anger in his chest and could not let it flare up.
Wang Xinfa could naturally be cruel and ruthless, and even drain the Qian family of their blood and marrow, leaving nothing behind.
But he could never do such a cold-blooded thing at this moment, in front of everyone, especially when the room was full of his faction's confidants.
As a superior, you can kill and burn people, do all kinds of evil, and be lawless, but you must never be... mean and ungrateful.
To be more precise, you can be mean and ungrateful, but you cannot act mean and ungrateful.
"Hehehe - this cunning woman, it turns out that not only her tongue is soft, her teeth are also unexpectedly hard..." Wang Xinfa felt murderous intent surging in his heart.
He took a deep breath, the breath was as cold as ice, and he forced himself to suppress the surging anger.
The muscles on his face twitched slightly, then he quickly adjusted and put on the sad and affectionate mask again.
If you like acting, then I will act with you.
He stretched out his broad palm and grasped Li Hanyu's shoulders, which were trembling slightly from crying. His five fingers clamped tightly around her slender shoulder blades through the fabric, with such force that it almost crushed her bones.
Then, he turned to Qian Huan in the fish tank, his voice deep and powerful, like a father promising his beloved eldest son:
"Qian Huan, your mother is right. President Lu and I have seen and remembered all your efforts and contributions.
No matter how the situation in the Second Prison changes in the future, no matter what the future of the Octagon Plan holds... as long as I, Wang Xinfa, am still here, the credit that belongs to you will always be yours, and no one can take it away from you.
Just calm down and rest assured, and try to get out of this fish tank as soon as possible to accompany your mother."
Li Hanyu felt a piercing pain in his shoulder blade, and his body was in so much pain that he could not stand steadily. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but he forced himself to force an extremely "happy" smile on his face.
She took the opportunity to put her arm around Wang Xinfa's arm and snuggled up to him, trying her best to act extremely obedient and dependent.
In the fish tank, Qian Huan tilted his head back, his bloodshot eyes filled with tears of gratitude. He looked up at Wang Xinfa devoutly, his lips moving violently, and his thousands of words finally turned into a hoarse sob:
"Thank you, Councillor, for your great kindness to me and my mother."
Li Hanyu tightly wrapped his arms around Wang Xinfa, enduring the excruciating pain of his shoulder blades that felt like they were about to shatter. He spoke in a hoarse voice, emphasizing each word:
"Still calling me the councillor? During the time you were unconscious, the councillor took special care of us mother and son.
Remember this for me—from now on, you must treat the councillor as if he were your own father, understand?!"
Li Hanyu didn't want to say it so bluntly, but the pain from her shoulder made her scalp explode and her vision went black.
She didn't expect that Wang Xinfa's cruelty and ruthlessness far exceeded her worst expectations. After all, they had slept in the same bed, but he really had no feelings for her at all.
Inside the fish tank, Qian Huan was completely stunned.
He probably didn't remember this part being in the script he designed with his mother.
Why did the mother add a scene at the last minute? ! !
However, Qian Huan still reacted quickly, and his acting skills were quite good. He took a deep breath and uttered a word with deep emotion:
"dad--"
Most people probably can't call someone dad casually, but Qian Huan doesn't have this psychological barrier. Since he can remember, he has never known what his biological father is. He doesn't even know whether the man is round or flat, or dead or alive.
When Wang Xinfa heard the word "Dad", his face turned green. He felt like his bones were broken by the call. The five fingers that were pinching Li Hanyu's shoulders instantly became weak.
He could tell everyone that he treated Qian Huan like a "good son", but he could never tolerate Qian Huan actually calling him "Dad" in public.
Can I call “Dad” randomly?
Do you know that when you screamed, I really... fucked the hell out of me.
Li Hanyu manipulated Qian Huan to complete a Double Kill on Wang Xinfa!!!
"Child, please don't..."
Wang Xinfa was held captive for a full second, and when he tried to open his mouth to make amends, it was too late.
This time, before he could finish his words, he heard an official standing in the back row, who was completely moved by the touching scene of "father and son recognizing each other", couldn't help but let out a low cry of excitement and subconsciously applauded.
The cheers and applause were like lighting a fuse.
moment!
“Pah pah pah——!”
“Pah pah pah pah pah——!”
The applause of praise was endless, echoing in the bedroom again and again.
The officials' faces were filled with sincere emotion, as if they had witnessed with their own eyes the congressman and his wife getting married and having a son in their old age.
Du Changle's fat body was squeezed in the crowd, and he was also wrapped up in the atmosphere of reunion. His two fat hands couldn't help but clap together "sincerely and affectionately".
You have to cheer, otherwise you will feel like you are not sociable.
Feng Mu stood aside, watching the scene in front of him, and shouted "wonderful" in his heart, and then he followed the crowd and applauded.
Seeing that Minister Feng was already applauding, Liu Yi and Song Ping'an did not hesitate at all and started clapping as well, clapping their hands especially hard.
Looking at the sudden climax in front of him, Lu Chenjia couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile on his face.
He calmly took a half step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Wang Xinfa, his head slightly tilted, his low voice filled with undisguised amusement:
"Congratulations, Councillor! Now you really have a son. Your family life is now complete. You're truly the envy of others."
While offering his congratulations "sincerely", he also expressed his concern with "understanding":
"Member, why don't you take some time out to spend time with your family and enjoy the good times together?
Don't worry, we'll take care of the work, whether it's the follow-up response to the Special Correspondent's attack or the overall planning of the "Octagon Cage Project"...
I, Lu Chenjia, and the entire Guangming Group have an unshirkable responsibility and must offer our full support!"
Wang Xinfa glanced sideways at Lu Chenjia, and their eyes met silently amid the noisy applause.
Anger was rising in his heart. Lu Chenjia's seemingly respectful test made him more angry than Li Hanyu's "disobedience".
After all, no matter how Li Hanyu acted, he couldn't really hurt himself, but Lu Chenjia and the Guangming Group behind him could really...
Although they are long-term partners or dining companions.
But these days, so-called partners are nothing more than a group of hyenas gathered together by the smell of blood.
When you are strong, they will follow you to bite the fat meat; but if you show any weakness, the first one to pounce on you and bite you will definitely be your partner.
Wang Xinfa understands this bloody truth very well.
He has reached his current status because along the way he has eaten up many enemies and wiped out many partners.
Wang Xinfa glanced at Lu Chenjia and said with a forced smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I'm a member of the Executive Government. My priority is my work and the interests of the people of District Nine. However, if I'm truly overwhelmed, I will certainly ask for your help when needed. Mr. Lu, please be willing to help me then."
Lu Chenjia's smile was still bright, as if he hadn't heard the subtle hint in Wang Xin's words at all. He even nodded slightly, then retreated half a step respectfully, his voice steady:
"Mr. Councillor, your words are too kind. Your business is my business. The Guangming Group and I are always ready to serve you and obey your orders."
