Chapter 1229 He in the Shadow
Coming out of the study, Secretary Liu walked out of the yard without changing his expression. After walking through a section of shady trees, he finally dared to let out a long sigh.
Before he could finish his breath, he was interrupted by a figure that suddenly appeared in his sight.
The girl in a white coat was running towards this side in a hurry with bottles and jars in her hand. Secretary Liu reached out and stopped her silently.
"Miss, you've come here many times and you know it's useless."
Secretary Liu said with a sluggish face,
"Boss won't see you and won't take medicine."
The person he stopped was Cheng Yuqing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She looked up and glared at the secretary, then gritted her teeth and said,
"Doesn't this bastard know his own condition now? If he doesn't take medicine or get treatment, is he going crazy or self-harming again?"
"The boss is already crazy now,"
Secretary Liu said calmly,
"Besides, you should have already understood that no medicine can cure him in this state."
"What on earth could have provoked him?"
Cheng Yuqing looked at him with gritted teeth and asked,
"In my opinion, this kind of public opinion would at most make him feel bad, but it would never cause the situation to deteriorate to this extent!"
Secretary Liu lowered his eyes and fell silent.
What else could it be?
He looked at the mottled light under the tree and thought.
In fact, in a certain sense, the boss is not a powerful person.
Ever since he first saw the only remaining broken arm at the age of fifteen, he suppressed all those gloomy, cowardly and embarrassed emotions into the shadows, and the so-called emperor looked perfect and bright.
But as things happened one after another, his father was dismembered, Commander Cheng was seriously ill at the time, and Cheng Yuqing took Commander Cheng abroad for treatment because she could not bear the blow. The underage Cheng Zhiyuan seemed to have experienced cruel abandonment again and again, and in the end he had to put on a neat suit over his scarred body and carry the precarious Cheng family without changing his expression.
Then the shadow was filled with more and more things: despair, pain, sorrow, hatred, madness, cowardice, and fear.
The emotions that all human beings must have were magnified countless times in him by blood and death, and then thrown into the shadow, thus reshaping another Cheng Zhiyuan.
Born from death, live beyond death.
It finally took shape on that rainy night, in the Cheng family cemetery, in front of the woman's ice-cold body.
He still remembers how he felt when he looked at the man's back.
It was like the eternal night had truly arrived. There was no hope at all. All I could see were burnt-out ashes, which turned into an ugly, dark wasteland when drenched by the rain.
Fortunately she came back.
At least the boss can be saved.
Even if Cheng Zhiyuan was full of negative emotions, even if it was just because of cowardice, he would not be able to make Miss Pianpian's warning come true.
After thinking quietly for a while, Secretary Liu raised his head and said to Cheng Yuqing,
"The boss will be better by tomorrow at the latest."
Cheng Yuqing was startled by his sudden conclusion, and then looked at him suspiciously.
"Can you predict the future?"
Secretary Liu nodded without changing his expression, with that exact look on his face.
Cheng Yuqing: ...
Without further explanation to her, Secretary Liu said goodbye and left the yard.
He has more important things to do now.
After all, in the past two days, there were too many people who came to the Cheng family to see the boss. Those who could be dealt with in the list could be sent out directly, but for those who could not be dealt with, he still had to carefully screen them and let the boss come out in person to calm the situation.
...However, if this boss shows up now, can he really calm the situation down instead of ruining it?
Thinking of the man in the study, Secretary Liu suddenly shuddered in the still warm sunlight.
