Xiao Wanli's decades of hard work were completely shattered here.
As his health deteriorated and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair, he no longer had any thoughts of making a comeback.
"Haha, good, good, you are worthy of being my grandson. You didn't kick me when I was down, and you didn't make fun of me." Xiao Wanli cheered up.
Although Xiao Chen's attitude was cold, it was beyond his expectations.
It was good for him that he was not provoked right from the start.
"I'm the one who disdains to do this. You're a loser. There's no point in kicking a loser when he's down."
Xiao Chen shook his head: "The name of my company is Chenhai Technology, so my goal is the stars and the sea."
"You are a dying man. There is no point in mocking you."
"You probably won't forgive me, right?" Xiao Wanli sighed.
"There is no such thing as forgiveness or not, because there are simply too many opponents who have fallen before me, and you are just one of them."
Xiao Chen said, "Besides, I have no affection for you, so you are just one of my many rivals. Forgiveness? Not really."
"I understand. I'm not worthy." Xiao Wanli murmured, "I was wrong. I was wrong from the beginning."
"I should have listened to the old man. I should have stayed in the northwest with your grandmother forever and never come to Beijing."
"What's the point of knowing you were wrong now?" Xiao Chen sneered, "The mistake has already been made. There's no way to undo it."
"Yeah, what can I save?" Xiao Wanli shook his head: "I can't save anything."
"But Xiao Chen, do you know? Once a person steps into the abyss, there is no turning back."
"Just like a lie, once you tell one lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies."
"Some paths, once you start on them, there's no turning back. Haha... That's how I walked into the abyss, step by step."
Xiao Chen remained silent. He glanced at Xiao Wanli and saw that he looked lonely and regretful.
Maybe he really regrets it?
But what's the point? How many people have been harmed over the past few decades?
The reason why he regrets now may be that he regrets that his means were not enough.
Maybe he was regretting that he had made a wrong move and ruined his reputation in his later years.
Does he feel any remorse or sympathy for the dead?
"You look down on me, right?" Xiao Wanli raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen.
"There are so many people I look down upon, and you're not the only one." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
He didn't mean to provoke Xiao Wanli by saying this.
Yes, there are many stumbling blocks on his path to growth.
Xiao Wanli is not the oldest one, so there is really no need for him to fall in love with the other party, right?
"Okay, okay, although I lost, the Xiao family has not fallen yet." Xiao Wanli nodded deeply.
At this point, even if he is unwilling to admit it, this is an indisputable fact.
Although Xiao Chen stood opposite to him, and although Xiao Chen's method was different from his own.
But his surname is Xiao after all. If the current Xiao family collapses, a brand new Xiao family will rise.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you know what? I'm actually very jealous of you."
"I'm jealous of your success at a young age, and I'm jealous of your foresight."
"People your age are still studying, but you've grown to a terrifying level."
"But fortunately, you are still a member of the Xiao family."
"I don't have much time left. I have other things to do. I can only stay for five more minutes." Xiao Chen looked at the time.
"I have to give you an explanation about your father's affairs." Xiao Wanli said with difficulty.
"He is now abroad and his life or death is uncertain. What explanation are you going to give me?" Xiao Chen looked serious.
The people sent by Wen Wan have arrived at the Jinsanpo area.
They searched outside the country step by step, starting from the place where their father disappeared.
There is no news yet and they have not found the body.
As to whether my father escaped the gunfire, it is still unknown.
"Do you know why those people are chasing your dad so madly?" Xiao Wanli looked up.
"My father has access to the dark secrets of the Holy Tabernacle cruise ship. If these matters were to become public, countless influential people in the West would be ruined."
"In order to preserve their family's reputation and their own personal reputation, they had to keep my father abroad at all costs."
"This is just one point." Xiao Wanli nodded.
"Is there any other reason?" Xiao Chen's heart trembled, and he suddenly thought of the matter of Dzi beads.
These people are madly chasing after my father. I wonder if it has something to do with Dzi beads?
"Dzi beads, an item that can drive people all over the world crazy. Xiao Chen, do you know what powerful people pursue?" Xiao Wanli asked.
“Human desires are endless, and they will never be satisfied with the money and wealth in their hands.”
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "More money and wealth will only amplify their desires."
"You're only half right." Xiao Wanli tried hard to straighten himself up.
"Some people have reached the pinnacle of wealth and power. They have more money than they can spend, and they can change the world with just a flick of their fingers."
"Unbridled play can no longer satisfy them, and they lament that life is only a few decades long and everyone will die."
"And they are unwilling to leave their endless wealth to future generations to enjoy."
"So, they are trying every possible way to prolong their lives."
"Modern medicine has actually developed to an incredible level."
"Incurable diseases like cancer have been conquered, and failing organs can now be transplanted from healthy people."
“Birth, aging, sickness and death are actually unfair. Although everyone will die, those who have money live longer than ordinary people.”
Xiao Chen's brows knitted tightly together. "This is what the Holy Tabernacle is doing, but what does this have to do with the Dzi Beads?"
"The power of medicine is limited," Xiao Wanli continued.
“Even if scientists have tried every possible way to make a person live longer, death is still unavoidable.”
Xiao Wanli talked for a long time and felt a little exhausted. He pulled himself together and tried to keep his body stable.
"However, some scientists, after failing to achieve any breakthroughs for a long time, have turned to belief in God."
"They firmly believe that there are unknown forces in this world, and these forces are controlled by gods."
"The legend of Dzi beads dates back thousands of years. According to legend, every owner of it lived for hundreds of years and possessed the ability to maintain their youthful appearance."
"Immortality and the secret to staying young?" Xiao Chen looked slightly shocked.
