She Haoyun lowered his eyes: "What kind of answer do you hope to hear from me?"
I want the truth.
A soft sigh came from behind: "Chang Le, I can't turn back now."
Hua Changle clenched his fists: "You're the one who's really crazy!"
"We have nothing more to say."
She Haoyun's eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly grabbed the back of her chair, his voice suppressed:
"Aren't you going to ask me what forced you to do? Others don't ask, but you know me, so why don't you ask?"
Hua Changle turned around coldly: "I don't understand you now."
A bucket of cold water was poured over him, completely extinguishing She Haoyun's excitement.
He quickly masked his earlier lapse with composure, saying, "The She family originally focused on maritime trade, but the rampant expansion of commerce in the Western Continent has intensified conflicts with the Central Plains. The She family's business has been greatly affected."
"The She family has only two paths: stick to the old ways and be squeezed out of the ranks of the four major families in the three districts by rising stars; or become a middle force balancing the Central Plains and the Western Continent."
She Haoyun turned Hua Changle around and looked at her, saying:
"I have spent years of my life working hard to finally bring the She family into my hands. It has finally become mine, and I cannot let it be destroyed like this."
What I have cannot be destroyed. I must live on, to show the old folks of the She family.
So I have no other choice but to dance with the wolves.
Hua Changle coldly raised his eyes: "So those innocent people should lose their right to be born as human beings just to survive?"
"You're so considerate of those irrelevant people, why don't you consider me first? Do you think I want to do those inhumane and disgusting things? Don't I want to be like Hua Qingyun, with someone protecting me, someone backing me up, and a glamorous and glorious life?"
But I've already come this far, I have nowhere to turn, I have no other choice!
She Haoyun stared intently at her: "If I didn't do this, I would be dead! I just want to live."
"But you said yourself that you don't regret it!"
When Hua Changle said that, She Haoyun was stunned.
Hua Changle looked at him:
“I remember you once told me here that you had no regrets.”
You said you didn't want to achieve great things.
You said you wanted the people in the cage to realize that they are caged birds.
You said you wanted to sit in the highest position in the She family and take a look.
You just don't understand why sitting in a certain position makes people lose their humanity!
"But now, She Haoyun, you've forgotten your original intention."
The last few words struck his chest heavily.
She Haoyun staggered a step, looking at her questioningly: "You don't forget..."
"Yes, I don't remember how we met, nor do I remember what our relationship was or how we got along."
“But I remember you wanted revenge, not to let yourself succumb to power.”
"From the day we met at the concert, you've been complaining that I've forgotten our past, but you haven't realized that you've even forgotten your own heart!"
Hua Changle's eyes blazed with suppressed anger: "Spikemagau, ha! You've lost all humanity now, haven't you?"
"You got this position, but you ended up becoming the person you used to hate the most."
The hero who slays the dragon gains control over it, but becomes greedy for the dragon's wealth.
She Haoyun's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he suddenly sneered, "I'm just a businessman, Lele, I'm just doing business."
Hua Changle slapped away his hand that was resting on her armrest:
"The prerequisite for being a businessman is that you must first be a decent human being."
She Haoyun's expression froze.
"President She, since we are old acquaintances, you should know my character. The Hua family will definitely cut off the hand that Spymargo has extended into the Central Plains!"
"I've decided to help them!"
Hua Changle said coldly, "I am a very stubborn person, and I will definitely do it."
If there's anything the original owner and she have in common in terms of personality, the most obvious is their stubbornness.
Once you've set your mind on something, you'll never give up until you achieve it.
This is how the original owner sought revenge against the Hua family, and this is also how she sought the truth.
Hua Changle turned and left: "President She, there's no need to see me off."
She Haoyun stood frozen in place, not moving forward.
Only after Hua Changle's figure disappeared did the dazedness, shock, and hurt on She Haoyun's face vanish, replaced by a stillness like stagnant water.
“We are still on opposite sides, Chang Le.”
"My heart is already dead in its cage."
"I want to live, so I am always happy, even if we are enemies."
...
Hua Changle walked for a while, then looked up and found Xiao Mo waiting there.
"It was Hua Zong who instructed me to pick you up if he saw you coming back alone." Xiao Mo pushed her back.
Hua Changle was taken aback. It seemed that Hua Qingyun had long anticipated that her talks with She Haoyun would fall apart.
Hua Qingyun had already returned to the president's office of the mecha company. Seeing that Hua Changle had returned alone, he was not surprised at all: "Did you have an unpleasant talk with She Haoyun?"
Hua Changle did not hide his dark expression.
Her dark expression wasn't because she had broken ties with She Haoyun. In truth, she didn't have any feelings for She Haoyun anymore. If anyone was hurt, it seemed more like She Haoyun was the one who was hurt.
Her anger stemmed from the fact that She Haoyun not only admitted to being involved in Spremagau's illicit activities but also insisted on continuing such inhumane practices. This meant that more victims would inevitably emerge.
The cage in the Azure Lab, and the inhuman figures inside, kept appearing in her mind.
Hua Changle felt tormented.
She didn't have extraordinary abilities, but unfortunately, she had a soft heart.
