Lu Xu kept her head down in silence. If someone looked at her carefully, they would notice that her body was trembling slightly, as if she was afraid of something.
Her face was full of confusion at the moment, and no one knew what she was confused about.
Seeing Fang Cheng about to enter the secret room, she suddenly bit her lower lip hard, raised her head quickly as if she had made up her mind, and shouted in a panic, "Mr. Fang!"
Fang Cheng was caught off guard by his thoughts being interrupted. He frowned in dissatisfaction and turned to look at her coldly, "What's the matter?"
"I..." Lu Xu uttered a word timidly, and continued tremblingly; "Do we really want to do this? What we did... is so serious, will those police really let us go?"
"Will they really not discover the truth and chase me abroad? Can I really start over?" Her brows were knitted together, and the word "worry" was written all over her face.
Fang Cheng was very dissatisfied with her timid behavior, so he did not try to comfort her. Instead, he angrily scolded her, "Where do you get so many questions?"
"You were the one who shamelessly begged me to take you with me before, and now you're the one who's hesitant and only makes unnecessary assumptions! It's up to you to leave or not, and if you don't want to leave, then stay! No one will force you!"
"If you don't make it to the end, no one can guarantee you what the ending will be like. But I can tell you clearly that if you leave, there's a glimmer of hope. If you stay, you'll end up in jail for the rest of your life!"
When Lu Xu heard the word "jail", her body trembled violently. Her heart felt conflicted and seemed to be about to break. Half of her heart wanted her to stay, while the other half wanted her to escape quickly. Her selfish instinct and conscience were fighting fiercely.
She held her forehead in pain and couldn't help but express her true thoughts, "I don't want to go abroad. I still want to continue developing in the entertainment industry and fulfill my unfulfilled dreams."
She paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "But I... I don't want to go to jail either, but I really feel like my life right now is so torturous. I live in fear every day, afraid that I'll be arrested by the police."
"I want to get rid of this feeling of fear, so I want to follow you, but what you just said makes me feel that even if I go far away, I still can't escape the condemnation of my conscience!"
"I'm really, really in so much pain. I really don't want to go on like this, but I really don't want to go to jail. Is there really no way to have the best of both worlds?"
After hearing her words, Fang Cheng sneered as if he had heard a huge joke. He repeated playfully, "Conscience?"
"You still have a conscience?" His words were filled with sarcasm, and he then bluntly exposed the other party: "Stop with these high-sounding words. You really want to be a chastity arch even though you're a bitch!"
"It was you who made the decision to betray your friends for money. It was also you who made the decision to beg me to join the organization in order to make more money. No one ever forced you to do that!"
"So...what qualifications do you have to talk about conscience? And what qualifications do you have to talk about pain?"
"I..." Lu Xu was speechless. He closed his mouth again after saying one word, and then bit his lower lip hard with his teeth as if to vent his anger.
Fang Cheng glanced at her with disdain and continued mercilessly, "We are now in the same boat. Since you chose to get on board, you should know that it won't be easy to get off."
"A crime is a crime. As long as you participate, no matter how much you do, it's a crime. You don't think that because I did less, I don't have to pay the price, do you?"
"Even if I agree..." He said with a malicious smile on his face, "The police won't agree!"
Lu Xu's face suddenly turned pale, and every word of these words pierced her heart.
Fang Cheng then suppressed his smile and sternly reprimanded, "So... I advise you not to even think about turning yourself in. If you reveal even a single bit of information about the organization to the police, you will immediately disappear from this world."
"Leaving with me is your best choice. As for your so-called dream...how much is it worth? Which is more important, the dream or freedom? You should have the answer in your heart, right?"
"Even if you surrender to the police and the organization shows mercy and doesn't do anything to you, you won't be able to continue in the entertainment industry after you serve a few years in prison. Artists with bad character and bad behavior may be fine, but artists like you who have been in prison don't even think about it!"
"And there's a saying you probably understand: small success depends on support, big success depends on luck. I've given you a lot of resources over the years, right? But after getting those resources, you didn't become as famous as others! So... this is your fate, accept it!"
What he said just now, that if you want to stay, then stay, was actually just to scare the coward Lu Xu. When he was making the plan to go abroad in the secret room, he was originally planning to take Lu Xu with him.
Because although Lu Xu has not been exposed to the core secrets of the organization over the years, she still knows some things. If she is left alone, it will definitely be detrimental to the organization.
As for why he had been making things difficult for the other person before, it was simply because the sight of Lu Xu kneeling down to beg was too funny, so he took advantage of the situation to tease the other person.
Lu Xu was extremely confused at this time. In fact, she knew very well that the moment she betrayed Qiao Tianrui, she had gone against her dream.
Her dream is to become a superstar in the entertainment industry, but looking at the entertainment industry in recent years, which top star who has been able to stand firm for a long time is not both virtuous and talented? Even Wen Wan, the most promising of the new generation, has both character and talent, and has been unanimously praised by everyone.
But she was forced to be raped by Fang Cheng, and later he betrayed his friend for money. These two things have become indelible stains in her life, and once they get out, she will never be able to turn over a new leaf.
It is even more impossible for her to follow the black and red route like He Yueyan. Just as Fang Cheng said, an unethical artist like He Yueyan with character and style issues will have a hard time making a single move in the entertainment industry, not to mention her going to jail and then coming out. Moreover, she does not like the unorthodox path of being black and red.
She felt a little guilty and regretful, but only a little, and the reason was that she had not been able to realize her dream and had to live in fear every day.
In fact, she had never thought about turning herself in. She just wanted a solution that would satisfy both parties. Since there was no solution that would satisfy both parties, she could only choose one of the two.
Which is more important, dreams or freedom? This question is obvious, right?
She raised her head and sighed deeply, then said in a low voice, "I'll go with you, I'll listen to you."
Fang Cheng smiled with great satisfaction, but the next second he reached out and grabbed her collar.
