When Zhong Jingtong began to think, he didn't notice the changes in himself at all.
He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the sunlight shone through the window onto his face.
But because he was looking down at the stairs, his face was naturally in shadow.
Something seemed to be wriggling in the shadow behind him. A slender tentacle stretched out from the shadow, twisting and shaking slightly, and quickly retracted.
Obviously, Zhong Jingtong also underwent such unknown changes after communicating with Duan Xinjie.
Zhong Jingtong was still analyzing, and in his mind, it seemed as if several little people were having intense conversations.
There are rational villains, greedy villains, and even villains who are constantly bewitched.
The rational villain said: "Li Xin is a good talent. It can be seen from his progress that if you target him, it will easily backfire!"
The deceptive villain said, "Backlash? Do we, the Zhong family, need to worry about the backlash from a peasant?"
"Don't think that you'll be great and popular just because you've made some military achievements!"
"On Guansuo 4, in the hundreds of years of history of the Ministry of Defense, how many people have made great military achievements, but in the end, they were taken in by our family and treated like dogs!"
The greedy villain said, "A position of senior defense director of M4, a position of real power!"
“What a great opportunity!”
"Now that the war has subsided, are we supposed to stay in this idle department for a few years, gaining experience, and then looking for an opportunity to be transferred to a position of real power?"
"How much longer will this last? It's too long! Too long!"
"We only need to do a few simple moves now, and we can avoid all these years of suffering and directly obtain the position of a powerful senior defense director of M4!"
"Owning several settlements and cities, and controlling tens of thousands of troops!"
"When the time comes, we'll mobilize some supporting mechas and armored units from the war zone! We'll be able to gain a firm foothold in this newly occupied territory!"
"This is much faster than gaining seniority!"
Outside, Zhong Jingtong rested one hand on the glass of the French window, while the other hand was clenched.
Even his eyes seemed to be bloodshot and turned red.
He looked at the tiny figures downstairs that were as small as ants.
In his mind, the rational villain said, "Don't forget, he was promoted by the Gao family. If we touch him, it may cause displeasure to the Gao family!"
The bewitching villain immediately retorted: "So what!?"
"We are closely connected with the Gao family. Could it be that they would come into conflict with the Zhong family and me just for a small-time officer, an officer they want to take in as a dog?!"
"Don't forget, in the Blueprint's Defense Department, we are the real masters!"
"Everyone else, whether soldiers or officers, are nothing more than our slaves!"
The greedy villain added: "A real powerful M4. If we miss this opportunity, how long will we have to wait!?"
"Five years? Ten years? Or even longer?"
"You know, Blueprint Biotech's headquarters in Interstellar could send someone over at any time..."
"Before they come, the higher our position, the greater the benefits we can reap!"
"If they came and the family's senior management was transferred away from this planet, we wouldn't be able to live like this now!"
The rational villain wanted to say something, but a chaotic battle immediately appeared in his mind. He was surrounded and beaten by the seductive villain and the greedy villain, and he couldn't utter a word.
The obvious manifestation of this chaotic battle in his mind was that Zhong Jingtong's eyes became increasingly sharp and ferocious.
He turned his gaze back from downstairs and sat back in his seat.
…
Late at night, in a secret stronghold.
At this time, Zhong Jingtong was sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine that was the color of blood. Opposite him stood a slightly flattering middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and asked, "Master Jingtong, why did you call me here this time?"
Zhong Jingtong didn't rush to reveal his true purpose. Instead, he asked, "Old Zhao, how long have you been serving our Zhong family?"
Old Zhao tilted his head slightly and said without hesitation: "Master Jingtong, it has been twenty-three years since the first day I followed you."
Zhong Jingtong nodded slightly. This Old Zhao was originally one of his father's subordinates when he just joined Blueprint.
Over the years, Zhong Jingtong's father has been moving up the ladder, but his younger brother, Lao Zhao, has long since fallen behind.
But Lao Zhao was not abandoned, but was chosen as a black glove.
Over the years, he has been doing some shady things for Zhong Jingtong's father.
This time, Zhong Jingtong called Lao Zhao to the Todute War Zone, wanting him to help him solve a problem.
Zhong Jingtong said: "Can I trust you?"
When Old Zhao heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master Jingtong, I owe my life to you today. I have already decided to serve the Zhong family until death!"
“You can trust me!!”
Zhong Jingtong slowly put down his wine glass and said, "I want you to do something for me. Kill someone for me!"
Old Zhao lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Master, who should we kill?"
Old Zhao didn't even consider whether to help Zhong Jingtong or not. He just wanted to know who to kill.
Zhong Jingtong took out a document and pushed it across the table to Old Zhao, saying, "That's him. Take a look, and destroy the document after you've finished reading it!"
Old Zhao picked up the document and quickly looked through it. During the process, his brows slowly furrowed.
After a long while, he put down the information in his hand and crushed it.
Old Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Jingtong, although I know I shouldn't ask this question, I still want to ask."
"Why did you kill him? He's an active-duty senior officer. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be severe, especially for the master."
For Lao Zhao, he can now obey Zhong Jingtong's orders, but the person he is truly loyal to is still Zhong Jingtong's father.
When doing things, there are naturally more things to consider.
Zhong Jingtong knocked on the table and said, "The reason is simple. I'm interested in his position."
"This position is great, but this person definitely won't give it to me for nothing, and I don't want any setbacks to happen out of thin air."
"So... he can only die!"
"Why, is it difficult to kill him?" Zhong Jingtong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Old Zhao bent his waist slightly and said, "C5's psychic power, especially for an officer, is really difficult."
"But... I think it can still be done as long as you spend money!"
