0018 The Dog Bites Lü Dongbin (As a Chinese proverb, 'cannot tell good from bad')_1

Zhang Hongfeng's body stiffened in place!

He had never dreamed that he would get such an answer!

Dead is dead...

He had never seen anyone speak of life and death so lightly!

What kind of experiences must a person have gone through to regard someone's life and death with such indifference?

Initially, Zhang Hongfeng thought that Xiao Chen had a way to ensure he wouldn't die, which is why he asked him to commit suicide with a fruit knife!

But now it seemed that the other party never took him seriously at all!

This...

Was the true contempt!

Yet, Zhang Hongfeng felt not a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart; on the contrary, he felt even more awe towards Xiao Chen!

This man, if he truly had a way to follow him, then it would be like clinging to a towering tree!

Zhang Hongfeng had already made up his mind, no matter what, he would become Xiao Chen's underling!

What he didn't know was that Xiao Chen, from the moment he saw him, already knew what to do!

As a top instructor at Black Prison, having trained numerous top assassins and mercenaries, how could such a person not have a few tricks up his sleeve?

First, Xiao Chen made Zhang Hongfeng fear him, then bit by bit destroyed his inner resistance, driving him to desperation!

In the end, he let him take his life, shattering his last bit of hope and courage, causing the man to completely break down!

Moreover, performing seppuku for the first time usually means subconsciously avoiding vital points, making death much harder than not dying; the kind of TV scenes where a stab kills someone on the spot are not that common in reality!

After experiencing such an event, Zhang Hongfeng had essentially walked through the gates of hell!

At this time, Xiao Chen gradually offered him hope of survival!

Under such circumstances, no one can resist the temptation of clinging to life!

And in Zhang Hongfeng's heart, Xiao Chen at this moment was a god who ruled over life and death!

Therefore, it was only now that Zhang Hongfeng felt genuine reverence for Xiao Chen from the bottom of his heart!

One might say that in the art of molding a person through understanding human nature, Xiao Chen had reached the pinnacle!

Being an instructor in a place like Black Prison, mere strength wasn't enough; no matter how strong you were, without a shrewd mind, you wouldn't know the day when you might sleep forever!

"I understand, Mr. Xiao! Then I will go and lead everyone to work now!"

Zhang Hongfeng respectfully saluted Xiao Chen!

"Go on! Learn as much as you can, ask questions, and if there's anything you don't understand, go consult the cleaning auntie. Be humble, understand?"

Xiao Chen taught!

Zhang Hongfeng immediately complied and slowly exited the office!

The atmosphere in the office was a bit eerie, with Xia Bing's complexion turning green and then white, still in a state of bewildered confusion!

Was it as he said, that my brain is full of bacteria?

Why don't I understand at all what has happened?

Why was Zhang Hongfeng so respectful towards him, and even seemed very afraid of him?

Also, what's this about sparing his life, about life and death?

Did they fight before?

What did Zhang Hongfeng just say? Working as a janitor for the company?

This group of ruffians will clean the company?

And what was this brother-in-law saying about consulting the cleaning lady if there's something he doesn't understand!

Xia Bing could hardly imagine the sight of Hongfeng Security's men armed with rags and wearing aprons cleaning the company!

However, at this moment, Xia Bing could be certain of one thing!

This man had helped her!

And...

His abilities definitely go beyond that!

She had indeed misunderstood him just now!

Xia Bing was a stubborn girl; once she set her mind on something, it was difficult to change, but the fact before her made her doubt herself!

And thinking about how she had wronged Xiao Chen, Xia Bing felt her face flush with embarrassment.

She began to consider how to apologize to the brother-in-law who had done her a great favor.

However, before she could even speak, Xiao Chen stood up and walked towards the door!

"Big sis... Mr. Xiao!"

Xia Bing's heart raced with urgency, almost blurting out 'brother-in-law'!

"Do you have anything else?" Xiao Chen didn't look back but remained in place, "I've done what your sister asked me to do, helped you with a problem, and that's as far as my duty goes!"

"As for the future... fend for yourself!"

After finishing his words, Xiao Chen didn't give Xia Bing any chance to explain and casually left the office!

Xia Bing watched Xiao Chen's retreating figure, wanting to stop him but not knowing how.

Her words had been so harsh just now, like a dog biting Lu Dongbin (As a Chinese proverb, 'cannot tell good from bad'); for him to talk this much with her already showed a good temper!

However, Xia Bing was well aware that Xiao Chen's attitude towards her was entirely for her sister's sake.

My dear sister! Where in the world are you right now? And from where did you meet such a mysterious person?

And...

What exactly does this man do?!

As Xia Bing was full of questions, a man hurried into the room!

"Mr. Xia, is that gentleman really your brother-in-law?"

Xia Bing was startled for a moment, noticing that the man was one of her company's very honest employees.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem, but I thought he was a scammer at first!"

The man, who was wearing glasses, was the same 'little glasses' Xiao Chen had encountered downstairs!

Hearing this, Xia Bing frowned immediately, "What do you mean by that?"

"Ah! This morning when we were cleaning the walls, this gentleman suddenly appeared, asked who was responsible for this, and after I told him it was Zhang Hongfeng, he just left! He said he was your relative, here to help you. At that moment, I wondered if I'd said something wrong! But it turned out to be lucky, as your relative really managed to handle Zhang Hongfeng so well that he's now leading the entire company's staff to clean up here! We've really regained our dignity!"

After listening to 'little glasses', Xia Bing suddenly collapsed onto her chair!

So...

He had already solved all the problems before he even arrived!

Xia Bing felt her way of handling things today was much too harsh!

The worst part was, he didn't even give her a chance to apologize, and she'd already had trouble contacting her sister. When a brother-in-law finally appeared, she'd driven him away!

Xia Bing, oh Xia Bing!

Your brain must be full of bacteria!

"Mr. Xia! Are you alright?"

'Little glasses' asked with some concern!

Xia Bing just waved her hand weakly, "I'm fine, just a bit tired! You all go out, let me rest alone for a while..."

Sitting in her chair, Xia Bing thought for a long time, her mind in turmoil, when her cell phone on the desk suddenly rang!

Xia Bing didn't pay much attention to it, but the phone kept ringing non-stop!

Looking at the number, it was a string of irregular digits, seemingly from an overseas call!

Having a number of international clients left for the company, Xia Bing wasn't in the mood at the moment, but she still reluctantly answered the call!

A voice that was both familiar and foreign came through quickly, making the nearly drained Xia Bing sit up straight right away!

"Bingbing, how are you? It's your sister..."
