Guo Hua shrugged, stretched his neck and shouted at Xie Ming's back: "By the way, before we talk about replacement, please ask Niu Li to come here, otherwise it will be useless to replace him."

Unlike the confusion he felt on the way to escape, now that everything has settled, Guo Hua has calmed down in his heart. When a person can face death, everything he faces will become more calm.

Everything a person does in an impulsive state is irrational. Guo Hua, who calmed down his mentality, became fearless.

He has already figured out that his fate is doomed, and no matter how hard he struggles, he cannot change it. In this case, it is better to leave more openly, and maybe seek some benefits for his family through his actions before leaving.

If there is one obsession that Guo Hua has not let go of, it is Niu Li's betrayal.

A popular drama called "Chen Qing Ling" a few years ago described Jin Guangyao as saying: Even if he is a heinous person, he still has a softness that belongs to someone.

For Guo Hua, a person who puts interests first, Niu Li may be the only remaining proof that he remains kind and sincere.

He racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Niu Li, whom he cultivated with all his heart and soul, chose to stand on his opposite side. He needed an explanation, and this explanation had even turned into an obsession, which he couldn't explain until he died in peace.

…

Three hours passed.

"Click! Crack!"

The sound of heels hitting the ground came from the long, dark corridor directly in front of Guo Hua's cell.

Guo Hua, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes in an instant, and a different kind of light flashed in his eyes. He took two deep breaths, subconsciously straightened his slightly curved back, and sat upright with his hands on his knees.

In front of his subordinates, he always maintains the majesty of a superior. Distinction between superiors and subordinates is the most basic requirement for managers.

"Wow!"

The iron door was opened again, and Niu Li appeared in front of Guo Hua, wearing dark black casual clothes and a pair of white sneakers.

Niu Li's tight little parted hair that he used to wear every day is no longer there, replaced by a clean and neat crop, and he looks several years younger. Compared with the previous one who always wore a white shirt, floral tie, and trousers no matter what the occasion.

The image of big leather shoes is completely opposite.

"Mr. Guo, I heard that you are looking for me?" Niu Li stretched his pants to look at his pants and sat down in front of Guo Hua, looking even more contented.

"You...why did you betray me?!"

During the three hours of waiting quietly, Guo Hua had imagined the scene of the two meeting each other countless times in his mind. He originally thought that he had adjusted his condition and could remain calm in the face of Niu Li.

But when Niu Li appeared in front of him alive, everything he had deliberately built fell apart in an instant.

Guo Hua's words were slightly trembling, and he asked the question he most urgently needed to answer.

"Betrayed? No, no, no! Mr. Guo, I didn't betray you!" Niu Li shook his head repeatedly, with a slightly evil smile on his lips that Guo Hua had never seen before.

Even though Guo Hua tried his best to control his emotions, when he saw Niu Li's face that was a bit unbeatable, he couldn't help but angrily yelled: "Since you first joined the company and worked hard in obscurity, I have looked at you differently! Even if

I have never blamed you for your lack of ability. The car and house you own now, including the care of your children and the elderly, are all handled by me. I treat you as a biological brother, and you betray me?!"

Even though Guo Hua is a good at pulling off bullshit, these two words really come from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it was to show off in front of his other employees, or whether he was sincerely cultivating Niu Li as his direct lineage, at least the fact that he was kind to Niu Li was absolutely unadulterated.

Niu Li leaned back, supported the ground with one hand, took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket with the other hand, took out one, put it in his mouth, and threw it on Guo Hua along with the cigarette case and lighter. Lazy

Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he looked like a little ruffian.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

As the two lit cigarettes, the smoke gradually spread in the small cell. Niu Li squinted at Guo Hua and said, "Mr. Guo, don't you think what you said is ridiculous? I am more like a brother than a brother.

Is it a loyal dog you raised?"

"Even if I raise a dog and raise it carefully for more than ten years, it will never show its teeth and bite me!" Guo Hua replied with a glare.

"That's right, I'm not a dog! What's more, are you sure your single-handed arrangement is what I want?"

"Hiss!" Niu Li took a long puff of cigarette and coughed twice, then continued: "I have been diligent and conscientious along the way and you have trained me as a role model, and my growth trajectory is all according to your arrangements.

But have you ever thought that this riding horse is what I want?"

"I have spent more than ten years of hard work on an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf?" Guo Hua tilted his head and his eyes were full of anger. If the anger could be turned into substance, Niu Li would have been burned to death.

A void.

"Brother Hua, I can honestly say that over the years, whether you are sincere or not, you have been really good to me." Niu Li held the cigarette between his fingers and flicked the ashes casually.

"Then why did you sell me? What do you mean?" Guo Hua, who was getting more and more excited, asked as if he was going crazy, speaking very fast.

"Huh!" Niu Li blew a puff of smoke into Guo Hua's face, put out the cigarette butt on the cement floor, and asked: "Brother Hua, have you ever thought about it, in fact, this was all a scam from the beginning."

"What do you mean by that!?"

"My name is not Niu Li, my real name is Zhang Xing. The old couple you arranged to work at the gas station are not my parents either. I am an orphan from an orphanage in a small county outside Qicheng. I was adopted at the age of six.

The person who adopted me is called Luo Zhengtai..."

At this point, Guo Hua understood everything.

It turns out that the advanced example he set and the confidants he cultivated were just the result of deliberate manipulation by someone behind the scenes.

There was once an internationally famous movie called "The Truman Show". The story told in it is about the protagonist Truman. Everything around him is fictional. His efforts, his struggles, his successes, everything is.

Falsely, the people he comes into contact with are all actors, but he himself knows nothing about it.

And Guo Hua feels exactly like this now.

He has had dreams and pursuits, and has coveted the throne of his eldest brother Luo Zhengtai for a long time, but as long as Luo Zhengtai is still around, he will never dare to open his mouth.

It wasn't until Lao Luo's unexpected departure that he rekindled his dream. I want to take charge of Tengtai, and I want to do better than him.
