Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate Showdown

After listening to Zhang Chengxuan's monologue, Qi Yu realized that there was a turning point in this matter, and asked instead, "Don't you want the person who trapped you in the dark to be punished more than pulling me down from the cloud?"

Zhang Chengxuan lowered his head and said, "The one who trapped me in the dark is myself."

The other party's tone was full of self-loathing, which made Qi Yu's heart tremble. Zhang Chengxuan once hoped to be recognized by him and longed to be his "opponent", but now the other party no longer wants these things.

Because Zhang Chengxuan himself knew that if he did such a thing, he could no longer forgive him and trust him.

If I can't get it, I can't reach it, so I want to pull him to destroy together...

Qi Yu's mind turned sharply, adjusted his negotiation strategy, and said slowly: "Zhang Chengxuan, I seem to remember that I told you that I have a twin brother, you say you envy me, but I envy my brother...he Unlike me, he is just an ordinary college student. The biggest worry every day may be what to eat next... When we were young, we went swimming together. Because of the teacher's negligence, my brother almost drowned, and I was playing by myself. , and did not notice him. After my mother found out, she not only held the teacher accountable, but also severely criticized me. She said that I am an older brother, and no matter where I am, I must protect my younger brother.

"When I was criticized by my mother, I felt very aggrieved. I was also a child and needed to be paid attention to, but because I was born a few minutes earlier than my younger brother, I could only be an adult... This sense of responsibility has been with me since I was conscious. Until now, my brother can be carefree and free to pursue the life he wants to pursue, but I can't."

Qi Yu didn't dare to act too hasty, so he paused, seeing that the other party didn't respond, and then continued politely: "My parents divorced when my brother and I were ten years old. After that, I lived with my father, and he did Career, I am lonely at home, just behind him, every day someone will say to me, oh, you are Qi Yuancheng's son, you must study hard, and help your father share the pressure in the future... Apply for STAFF, Studying economics and doing management are just my responsibilities for me.

"Beginning last summer vacation, my dad let me get in touch with the company's practice. Every day I face intrigues in shopping malls, and everyone I see is lying to me. I want to pretend to be a mature and stable adult, and I have to think about this all the time. Is someone trying to take advantage of me, is that person trying to plot against me, I can’t say a wrong word or do one thing wrong, because if there is a slight mistake, it may end up in the current situation…”

Zhang Chengxuan smiled bitterly: "So, do you regret believing in me now?"

The other party finally responded, which meant that he had just listened carefully and had already entered his own story.

Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but instead of answering Zhang Chengxuan's question, he sighed and continued: "Actually, this has happened more than once, the first time I was kidnapped was when I was eight years old. Years, the kidnappers also took me to a similar place. Those people had knives in their hands, and they looked at me like a ghostly Shura. I didn't dare to do anything except secretly shed tears. Happy, stab me, and I will never see my parents again...

"You say I'm on the cloud, but I don't feel that way at all, I just feel so tired every day... Heh, rather than being the heir of a consortium, I want to live a lighter life and learn what I want to learn. , love the person you want to love... I like music, geography, and the romantic starry sky, but I don't have time to do any of these. Do you remember, you asked me to go to Yinshan Park in my sophomore year, and I liked it You are so thoughtful and enthusiastic that I really want to make friends with you, but my teacher told me that with my status, even if I make friends, it is only a relationship of exchange of interests."

"……your teacher?"

"Well, it's my personal teacher, the 'think tank' you've guessed before. In fact, I don't have any think tank around me. He was the only one from the beginning to the end. He taught me a lot of knowledge, reasoning and knowledge in shopping malls. He also taught me how to maintain my principles and original intentions in this complex environment... At first, he did not support me in making friends with you, and said that your growing environment was too complicated, and he was worried that I was not yours. opponent."

Zhang Chengxuan asked back, "If that's the case, why did you help me last year?"

Qi Yu: "Because when you came to me for help, I heard from what you said your concern for your mother and your desire to get rid of the original environment. The environment creates people and can also change people. I think , you may have ulterior motives for me, but you are definitely not a person of great evil... When it comes to helping you, I care more about whether I stick to my own principles of being a person than measuring the utilitarian gains and losses. I am willing to believe The goodness of human nature, willing to believe that the friendship of the classmates is greater than the interests."

Zhang Chengxuan's breathing became heavier.

Qi Yu heard the change in his state and continued: "You just asked me if I had any regrets, and it must be a lie to say that I don't. My mother is not in good health recently, and my father is the only son who can help him. What happened, they don't know how worried they will be... but instead of saying that I regret believing in you, I should say that I regret not being more thoughtful. Before entering that stairwell, I hesitated to call my bodyguard first. phone, but I thought that it was you, and it was you who made me let my guard down..."

There was a sob sound from the wall, and Zhang Chengxuan cried.

Qi Yu did not slacken, and further moved his emotions: "Zhang Chengxuan, even if you lie a lot, even if you have used me, deep down in my heart, I am still willing to believe you."

Zhang Chengxuan choked and said, "Don't say anything..."

Qi Yu cooperated in silence, only Zhang Chengxuan's repressed sobbing was left in the empty factory building.

Qi Yu waited, waited, waited for Zhang Chengxuan to calm down after crying, and then continued: "I don't know why you did such a thing, but I think you must have your troubles..."

"The situation of the Lizao Group is very bad..." Zhang Chengxuan took a few breaths and confided to Qi Yu like he was talking to himself, "My second uncle is a **** who specializes in eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, not only gambling by himself, but also for the past two years. I also took my uncle to become addicted to gambling. The two of them lost 100 million in gambling losses in Macau. Today, the large and small companies under the group are all messed up. Except for Fia, which is managed by my father, all companies They're all losing money... Frankly speaking, my dad is the only one in the Zhang family, but he's just a general manager of Fia. Fia is Lizao, and as long as there is a share in Lizao, anyone can get involved. One foot, the one who takes care of the most is my second uncle..."

Qi Yu tentatively asked: "Are they all not good to you? I remember you told me before that the Zhang family doesn't treat you as a person."

Zhang Chengxuan: "Actually, my dad treats me well and he has the heart to nurture me, but I am Zhang Youfa's flesh and blood after all... That's right, their brothers fight too, I'm on my dad's side, he's afraid I'm an unfamiliar one. The white-eyed wolf, test me with all kinds of things, all the evidence related to Zhang Chenghuan is what my father asked me to give you, and it is also that he wants to use your strength to destroy my second uncle's influence in Fiya first."

Qi Yu: "So that's how it is..."

No wonder Zhang Chengxuan, an illegitimate child who "doesn't pay much attention", can get those things. After listening to these few words, the questions he had doubted at the beginning can be explained.

Zhang Chengxuan: "This year, my dad managed to promote the cooperation between Feiya and Hongzhuang. The second uncle had no money to spend, so he came up with this idea. He asked for money all day long, and he had to give instructions. It didn't take long after Lin Huan cooperated with us. I know that Lizao Jinyu has failed in the outside world. It is said that this new bird chamber of commerce is the last chance. If we can't figure it out, he will withdraw the capital. Once he withdraws, Lizao will not have enough funds to support the development of Feiya Hongzhuang. We just learned that Tianbao Group may become a shareholder in Siyuan, and once it loses this time, Feiya will also plummet..."

Qi Yu: "So you came up with this idea?"

Zhang Chengxuan: "Well, when you sent Zhang Chenghuan into the game, the second uncle held a grudge, and when he learned that he was going to compete with you again this time, he said that he would directly bind you, which would not only make you give up your cooperation with Xinniao, but also Can stabilize Lin Huan, kill two birds with one stone. My dad has no objection, and they can still reach an agreement on things that are beneficial to the company. But this kidnapping, the Zhang family is too easy to be suspected, so they asked me to be tied together, pretending to be Fia It’s also a victim, so that reduces suspicion.”

Qi Yu asked, "How can he make us give up our cooperation with Xinniao? Wouldn't it be easy to expose it if there was a direct threat?"

Zhang Chengxuan: "Actually, your kidnapping when you were eight years old, and the one in August last year, were all done by my second uncle. I heard him brag about it. He was in contact with the three religions and nine streams of society, and he was familiar with this kind of thing... ... He said, if your dad is smart, he will know what to do as soon as he analyzes it. At that time, you will give up your cooperation voluntarily, the police can't find any evidence, and after we're rescued, Fia will have nothing to do."

Qi Yu heard that three times it was planned by the Zhang family, gritted his teeth, suppressed his inner anger, and asked Zhang Chengxuan: "Since you cooperated with the kidnapping, those kidnappers just now... won't they really beat you?"

Zhang Chengxuan was silent for two seconds before he said, "They should have only received instructions from the middleman. In order to prevent the police from seeing the problem afterwards, the task is to kidnap me and you."

Qi Yu said in shock, "So they really fought?"

Zhang Chengxuan made a "hmm" sound.

Qi Yu was so shocked that he was speechless. In order to kidnap him, the brothers of the Zhang family were even willing to send their own son over to do a bitter trick. It was simply inhumane...

After a while, Zhang Chengxuan said again: "But don't worry, the kidnappers shouldn't want our lives, if it happens, the nature will be different... The middleman may just ask them to delay the time until the second uncle and their goals are achieved. , will naturally let us go."

should...maybe...

Qi Yu heard that Zhang Chengxuan was a little unsure about what he said.

He hung his heart again and asked, "How can you be sure that those kidnappers really follow the rules? They beat you so fiercely, and they also carried knives, what if?"

Zhang Chengxuan was silent.

Qi Yu continued: "Besides, if you tell me all this now, it's like..."

He originally wanted to say that Zhang Chengxuan told himself this, which was equivalent to explaining the criminal facts of him and the Zhang family, but then he thought about it and said that there was no evidence. The difference is that Rashomon can't prove anything at all.

Qi Yu said in a roundabout way: "This is a criminal offense after all. If any evidence is found, you are an accomplice. We will graduate in half a year. With a diploma from Stafford, where are you going to be bad? For you These, you don't even want your own future?"

"Future? Heh..." Zhang Chengxuan chuckled and said faintly, "I am an illegitimate illegitimate child, Zhang Youfa refuses to recognize me, and my father recognizes me, what else can I ask for? You just said, your father Only one of your sons can help him. In fact, my dad is the same. He is barren, has no children, and is still a little paranoid. When it gets better, he sincerely hugs me and calls me his son and gives me money, just like a real father... When it gets bad, he whips me and beats me with a belt, thinking that I am not his flesh and blood, and will leave sooner or later... I hate his badness, but I am also grateful for his goodness... After the second uncle came up with the idea of ​​kidnapping, I Dad asked me to deceive you. I refuted it. I said that there are bodyguards around you all the time, but you may not believe me. My dad slapped me and called me a waste. I am most afraid that he will call me a waste, Qi Yu, you have had a father since you were young, you will not know how I feel... If he dislikes me and doesn't want me, I will have no father..."

Qi Yu was shocked by Zhang Chengxuan's remarks, and felt that it was hateful and pathetic.

He tried to find an excuse for the other party: "In this way, you are still forced, no matter how your father treats you, you at least have to leave a way out for yourself, what if you are really found out? Your father and Since your second uncle doesn't deal with it, you might as well think about it first. How can you blame it all on your second uncle? You were coerced into committing the crime, and the police won't convict you. Your second uncle was arrested, and so did your father. I can believe that you are loyal to him..."

Zhang Chengxuan's gesture of adjusting his posture was heard on the side. He didn't speak for a long time, as if he was really starting to think about Qi Yu's proposal.

Just then, a strange noise came from outside.

The author has something to say: [Interlude]

Qi Yu: He is different from me, he is just an ordinary college student.

Qi Feng: Ordinary? I am the school grass of F University!

Qi Yu: When he was a child, he almost drowned, and my mother criticized me.

Qi Feng: What? And such a thing?

Qi Yu: Shut up! Don't do anything, can't let me borrow it and make up a story?

Qi Feng: You, you make up! ...use whatever you want!

(There is no drowning, but I have a similar experience, so my emotions are real. My brother never opens his mouth to tell his family about his grievances.)
