Chapter 2353
Uncle Wan and Uncle Hua had obviously not discussed these words with Bald Chen in advance, and lifted their hips for a moment, looking fidgety.
Seeing that Bald Chen was still staring at Murong Zhuan without fear of death, Uncle Hua cleared his throat again, “Cough, cough-”
I’m telling you, I’m going to call the shots today, I don’t believe it, the group will really become his alone! I don’t believe it, the group will become his alone! Let’s revolt together and see if he can still hold on to his position as chairman!”
Even I felt that this grandfather was purely trying to kill himself, and when Uncle Hua and Uncle Wan failed to dissuade him, they had no choice but to remain silent and join his side by default.
I watched all this with cold eyes and a sneer on the corner of my mouth. It seems I was lucky to witness so soon the dog-eat-dog scenes in these so-called impregnable organisations.
In a world where Murong believes in the weak and the strong, the trust between people is like a piece of paper as thin as a cicada’s wing that breaks at the first poke.
In the face of Bald Chen’s overwhelming questioning, Murong Zhuan was sipping his hot coffee slowly and methodically, without irritation or anger, as if he hadn’t listened to a single word, giving people the feeling that his fist had hit cotton.
As if he had received a great humiliation, Bald Chen looked at Murong Zhuan by name and said, “Murong Zhuan, what do you mean!
After another moment of silence, Murong Zhuan smacked his lips, put down the half-drunk coffee in his hand, looked up at the crowd, and said unhurriedly, “Nothing, Uncle Chen, you’re right, I’m listening to everything you say, but-”
He trailed off, then dropped his eyes on Fu Shen Yan, tugging up the corners of his mouth, but endless darkness and chilliness welled up under his eyes, “It’s fine to doubt me, shouldn’t Uncle Chen rain on the parade and consider this new leader of ours, Fu Shen Yan, who is gaining momentum?”
With a few words, he managed to point the finger at Fu Shen Yan.
Indeed, rather than suspecting that Murong was intent on purging his subordinates, it was Fu Shen Yan, who had just joined but had risen through the ranks, who was more suspicious.
Usually, there are only two types of people like this: either they are undercover agents planted by the police, or they are naturally suited for the job, but in most cases, it is the first type.
For a moment, the way everyone looked at Fu Shenyan became intriguing.
I subconsciously sweated for him in my heart.
“Fu Shen Yan, what do you have to say?” Uncle Hua asked out loud.
Fu Shen Yan seemed to be lost in thought just now, and only when he heard Uncle Hua call his name did he come back to his senses and said with a cold smile, “I have nothing to say.”
“Then that means you admit that you did it?!” Bald Chen said in a stern voice.
Fu Shen Yan sat up straight, his posture leisurely, “I didn’t say that.”
“Then what do you mean by that!” Bald Chen felt tricked and his voice snapped up.
“It’s simple,” Fu Shen Yan hooked the corners of his mouth into a sneer and turned his head in the direction of Murong Zhuan and me, not a ripple in his eyes, “I know my qualifications better than any of the others in the do.”
That’s true, Fu Shen Yan has always been cautious, there’s no reason to lift a stone and smash his own feet.
Seeing everyone else at the table nodding thoughtfully, I couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Although all the people in the room were dressed like ordinary people, we all knew in our hearts that beneath this shiny, gentle skin lay a ruthless soul, and we had to be very careful when we were in the same room with such a person.
Fu Shenyan had only just gotten rid of his suspicion for a moment, and then he returned the favour to Murong Zhuan by saying, “Since Zhuandi has opened up, then I won’t hide anything.
Murong Zhuan was very calm, “No need to be polite, just say it.”
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just about the fact that you’re more than the former Chinese high official’s godson. I wonder if there is any special arrangement?”
As soon as he heard Shen Changlin’s name, Uncle Hua stood up excitedly, “Shen Changlin is the hardest official and has always been most uncomfortable with our grey dealings!”
Bald Chen stared at Murong Zhuan again and said aggressively, “Now how do you explain that, Murong Zhuan!”
Chapter 2354
Fu Shen Yan could have pointed out my relationship with Shen Yu, but probably for my own safety, he spared me the trouble of associating Shen Yu with Shen Changlin, a name that is a thunderbolt in China.
It is a fact that everyone understands that those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black.
At the moment, it was obvious that Murong Zhuan could not explain himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
But he was as good as his word, not panicking, instead he straightened his clothes, looking like his mind wasn’t even here, “What I do, I don’t need to explain to you.”
Bald Chen instantly gritted his teeth in hatred, his fox eyes slightly narrowed to reveal a cunning and fierce gaze, “Then don’t blame me as an uncle for having a cruel heart!”
After saying this, he raised his right hand and made a gesture of action to the man behind him, who then immediately pulled out a hand wooden hammer from his pocket and aimed it at Murong Zhuan.
However, Murong Zhuan looked up calmly, revealing an elegant and wry smile, and asked him, “Uncle Chen has been waiting for this day, hasn’t he?”
Bald Chen hummed mockingly, no longer putting him, a dying man, in his sights, “So what if it is, this time it’s you who betrayed the group, betrayed everyone, and no one can save you! Blame yourself, why are you so insensitive!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Bald Chen said in a loud voice, “Finish him off!”
However, as the words fell, there was no sound of the wooden barn as expected, the whole room was dead silent.
Bald Chen’s smirk froze on his face and he hurriedly got up to scold his men for not having any eyesight, “B*****d I told you to open the wooden barn are you deaf! ……”
In the midst of his shouting, the mouth of the killer’s wooden barn, gradually moving, slowly turned the direction and aimed at his head.
Then, without any explanation, “Phew”, the bullet . The bullet passed through the silencer and struck Bald Chen in the head.
The sound of the mokura fell and Bald Chen fell to the ground, his unresponsive body shaking twice before he was completely immobilised.
Murong Zhuan stood up without changing his face, picked up the napkin on the table, wiped his hands while facing Bald Chen’s corpse, and spoke indifferently, “It was you who said, Uncle Chen, betraying the group, betraying everyone, there is only one end.”
After saying this, he picked up the napkin that he had finished wiping his hands with and dangled it above Bald Chen’s dead face, then let go of his hand and let the napkin cover up his miserable death.
Seeing the tragic death of their good brother for many years, Uncle Hua and Uncle Wan were about to have a fit on the spot, but Murong Zhuan stepped around behind them before they could react and heavily patted them on the shoulder, saying in a serious tone, “Think carefully, do you really want to turn against me for a person who betrayed you?”
Uncle Hua instantly reacted, “Are you saying that it was Old Chen who leaked our information out? No way!”
Murong didn’t have the heart to explain it to them, “Whether it’s true or not, you guys can think about it yourselves, we can take revenge in the future, but right now-”
He suddenly stopped here, turned around and took the killer’s wooden hamper, and across the table, pointed the mouth of the hamper at Su Ran who had not spoken.
This frightened Uncle Wan into another burst of panic, looking at the wooden bin and then at Su Ran, fearing that his turn would come next, “How …… are you going to end up here with us all today!?”
Murong Zhuan directly ignored his words and stared straight at Su Ran with indignant resentment in his eyes, grinding his back teeth, “Why did you do that?”
