Not long after Cheng Yu left the hospital, Ning Kezhu, who was exhausted mentally and physically, could no longer hold on.
Although she kept telling herself not to fall asleep, her mental distress still made it difficult for her to persevere. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and closed her eyelids.
Very quickly, Ning Kezhu fell into sleep.
Hearing Ning Kezhu breathing evenly from the bed next door, Cheng Guangnian knew that his wife must have been unable to resist the erosion of the Sandman and had fallen into a sweet dream.
But Cheng Guangnian, who was cautious by nature, waited for a while and then slowly raised his eyelids a little.
Ning Kezhu didn't turn off the lights, so Cheng Guangnian could see everything in the ward clearly.
When he saw Ning Kezhu motionless and curled up in the quilt, Cheng Guangnian, who had been her husband for more than 20 years, knew that Ning Kezhu was really asleep.
Raising his arm slightly, Cheng Guangnian glanced at the time, eleven twenty-three.
As Cheng Yu expected, Cheng Guangnian actually woke up not long after entering this ward.
Of course, if there wasn't that voice in his head, he might wake up a little later.
At that time, not long after Lao Bian finished talking to Cheng Yu on the phone, the system in Cheng Guangnian's mind completely heard Cheng Yu's words and knew that Cheng Yu had suspicions.
So it woke up Cheng Guangnian, thinking that Cheng Guangnian might need to hear the face-to-face communication between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian.
However, even the system did not expect that Cheng Guangnian would choose to continue pretending to be stunned. Its initial plan was to let Cheng Guangnian provide more clues to Lao Bian and Cheng Yu.
However, the host's behavioral choice is his own business, and the system cannot completely interfere. Therefore, since Cheng Guangnian himself chooses to pretend to be stunned, the system will not remind him of anything.
In this way, Cheng Guangnian listened to all the conversations between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian word for word. The reason why he chose to continue pretending to be faint was actually because he suspected that this car accident was not an accident. He also wanted to use this car accident to
See things more clearly that he cannot understand.
The conversation between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian made Cheng Guangnian more and more clear in his judgment. Today's matter must have something to do with Cheng Fu.
It was impossible not to be angry. No matter how deeply Cheng Guangnian usually hid his thoughts, when he learned that his nephew actually wanted his life, he still felt his heart tremble.
Under such a mood, Cheng Guangnian inevitably made some inappropriate movements on his body.
Although he quickly adjusted back, Cheng Yu still saw some clues.
However, the conversation between Cheng Yu and Lao Bian also made Cheng Guangnian feel at ease. He felt that even if he did not provide any clues, Cheng Yu and Lao Bian might be able to find out the truth.
This made him lie down on the hospital bed even more relieved. He wanted to take this opportunity to not only find out the truth about who wanted to kill him, but also hoped to dig deeper so that he could know who in the group was completely innocent.
Trustworthy.
Those who are just dissatisfied with him are not important. What is important is the people who, under such circumstances, will try to lead others to cause trouble.
People like that must be kicked out.
Cheng Guangnian has always been a ruthless person. His ruthlessness is not only reflected in others, but also towards himself.
So, at that time, he made the decision that he had to let all the things hidden in the dark come to the surface before pretending to finally wake up.
And what he wants to do after waking up is to kick out all the people who showed their fangs during this period.
Moreover, he also agreed with Cheng Yu's analysis. He also felt that since Cheng Fu had made such a complete set of designs, he should never show any flaws in the car's suspension.
Cheng Guangnian doesn't believe in the so-called showoff personality.
It's not that I don't believe that such a personality exists in this world, but I don't believe that Cheng Fu would be such a person.
After taking Cheng Fu with him over the past few months, Cheng Guangnian had a sufficient understanding of Cheng Fu's character traits.
The reason why he insisted on keeping Cheng Fu by his side as an assistant even though he knew that Cheng Fu was not sincerely working for him, largely had to do with the system in his mind.
He must find a way to break the situation, otherwise, even if he relies on the system, he has the current empire, and he can rely on the system to make this empire stronger.
But as long as the system still exists and this situation is not broken, this empire will not truly belong to him.
Of course, Cheng Guangnian didn't really want to hand over the Cheng Group to Cheng Yu to inherit, but the damn system had set rules for him, that is, he used the system to make a fortune, and what he lost was the family relationship with his only heir.
Cheng Guangnian was unwilling to give in, so he was looking for a way to break the situation.
He wanted to put Cheng Fu in a position, not just as his assistant.
The road he planned for Master Cheng was actually very long.
He plans to hand over the entire Cheng Group to Fu Cheng in a few years.
But he will use the past few years to make enough plans to leave behind a backup plan for Cheng Yu to completely defeat Cheng Fu.
In this way, after he hands all his wealth to Master Cheng, he will choose to live in Europe with Ning Kezhu, or simply buy a small island in the Pacific Ocean and live his magical life.
And Cheng Yu will follow his arrangement, find a way to defeat Cheng Fu bit by bit, and finally take away all the property from Cheng Fu.
In this way, it is equivalent to Cheng Guangnian handing over his life's wealth, the wealth earned by using the system, to Cheng Yu in a tortuous way.
This plan had just begun, and he didn't expect that Cheng Fu would be so impatient and take such an extreme approach.
In this plan, if Cheng Fu finally "cooperates" with him and transfers all the wealth to Cheng Yu, Cheng Guangnian has actually prepared everything for Cheng Fu.
At least, Cheng Fu will receive a fortune that he will never be able to spend in three lifetimes as compensation.
But Cheng Fu not only failed to allow Cheng Guangnian's plan to be implemented smoothly, but also made such an extreme and crazy move, which made Cheng Guangnian feel angry and helpless.
He lay on the bed, eyes wide open, silently asking the system in his mind.
"You are deliberately messing with it. You have learned about my plan, so you used Cheng Fu's hands to destroy it, right?"
The system sighed, it actually sighed.
"Actually, you understand that there is no way your plans can bypass my underlying logic.
After all, I can share every detail of your thoughts and ideas.
And what you have worked so hard to achieve is a violation of the promise you made when we signed the contract.
That promise of yours is the starting point of all my logic.
Unless you can prevent your thoughts from being shared by me, maybe this logic can be broken in some sense.
But now that I know everything, your plan is just a joke in front of me."
Cheng Guangnian sneered twice and said, "No, that's not the case.
Your logic is simply that I cannot hand over my wealth to any of my heirs.
But that doesn't mean I can't give my wealth to my nephew.
Even if I take all this wealth back from him, I personally passed it on to my son, it will not violate your underlying logic after all.
That’s why you take such measures to destroy it, right?
You simply chose to sabotage it halfway in order to prevent my plan from succeeding in the end.
No, not halfway, but at the beginning of my plan.
You know very well that as long as my plan is implemented properly, it can successfully bypass your so-called underlying logic..."
The system sighed again and interrupted Cheng Guangnian's words.
"Alas...what do you want me to say so that you can understand?
Oh, okay, I just need to tell you a little bit and you will understand the way you are talking to yourself now.
The starting point of your logic is that you think that I directed your car accident today through Cheng Fu's hand. However, you are wrong. I did not do anything that affected Cheng Fu's own judgment.
What Mr. Cheng did to you was entirely due to his own fault.
Even, I can tell you that this matter has something to do with your biological son.
If it weren't for some of the things he had done, even if Cheng Fu wanted to take revenge on you, he probably wouldn't have enough power.
But now he has it.
The reason why he gained these powers is really thanks to your son - Cheng Yu."
Cheng Guangnian said disdainfully: "Do you think I will believe you?"
The system sighed again and said: "Well, maybe I am indeed a system that can make deceptive words and actions, but, dear Guangnian, there is really no need for me to lie to a person who is about to fall into endless darkness."
Cheng Guangnian's heart sank and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Your mission is about to fail, and according to my deduction, you have no chance of successfully completing the mission. Oh, by the way, dear Guangnian, you won't forget that tonight is the end of the mission I issued to you.
Deadline? Well, you still have five minutes."
The system's voice became frivolous, like the voice of the guy named the Joker in Batman, and his words were filled with a tone of fooling.
"impossible!
My lawyer told me clearly that Du Changfeng had gone to their law firm today.
Moreover, their law firm has all prepared the property transfer documents and is just waiting for Du Changfeng's signature.
They will definitely be able to complete all this today.
Moreover, they should be completed by now, I have completed the entire task according to your requirements!"
The system chuckled, and the laughter was indescribably disgusting.
"So, dear Guangnian, you think you have control over everything, just like you think you can get rid of my underlying logic through that guy Cheng Fu.
I'm sorry that what Mr. Cheng did to you caused Du Changfeng to learn that you were hospitalized in a car accident just before he was about to sign those share transfer documents.
He is really your good friend, so he thinks he should put aside those unimportant things for the time being and come to the hospital to visit you, an old friend.
You see, how loyal he is to your friendship.
It's as if even if he can't understand your request, he is still willing to transfer all the property to his daughter's name as you said.
He's here, but he hasn't fulfilled his promise to you yet. He doesn't know that this is your last day. He may think that this is a manifestation of your great friendship.
In fact, I gave you a chance. I woke you up from your coma. On the one hand, it was to let you cooperate with the police to get rid of that bastard who had evil intentions towards you. On the other hand, it was also to let you tell Du Changfeng, no need.
Come here, nothing is as important as him signing those documents.
However, you actually gave up this last chance. You actually thought you could still take the opportunity to find out those people in the group who wanted to resist you.
In the end, you gave up your chance to live."
The system voice paused and then said: "You have three minutes, and then you will be imprisoned in boundless darkness until the end of your life.
You will like that feeling, you can feel everything, but you can't make any sound or make any movement. You can only watch your loved ones suffer the pain of you turning into a vegetative state."
Cheng Guangnian roared in his head: "Impossible!
You planned all of this. When you discovered that I had a way to bypass your underlying logic, you planned all of this.
You asked Master Cheng to deal with me, and then asked Du Changfeng to rush to me without signing those documents at the last moment...
You were already prepared for everything today when I chose not to embezzle the Du Group head-on, but to use this detour to complete the mission.
shame on you!"
"I'm just a program. I can only execute orders mechanically. I don't have as many emotions as you humans.
So, dear Guangnian, why don’t you believe me?
I really don't care what method you use to complete the tasks I give you.
As long as Du Changfeng hands over his shares, I will issue the next task.
Either Cheng Yu takes those shares from Du Xiaoyu, or you take those shares.
And your son, Cheng Yu, naively thought that signing a declaration with Du Xiaoyu stating that they would not take away any shares of the Du Group when they divorced would actually prevent you from embezzling the Du Group.
I have to say, you two, father and son, are exactly the same, with the same innocence."
Cheng Guangnian wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt powerless.
He found that the system was right.
If the system is simply dissatisfied with the way he completes the task, he can immediately issue a further task after he completes the task.
All in all, there are many ways for the system to achieve its originally set goals more reasonably.
There is no need to go through so many twists and turns.
"I said that you are the best host I have ever encountered, and I don't want to see you ultimately fail.
But, Cheng Guangnian, you really disappoint me.
But it doesn't matter, when you fall into endless darkness, I will choose the next host.
Until, there is a host who can complete all my plans."
Cheng Guangnian felt the passage of time, and finally asked a question: "What do you want?"
"Haha, this has nothing to do with you.
In fact, sometimes, I really think that those pecking, one-drinking, retributive cycles that you humans talk about actually make sense, even if they are so unscientific.
If Cheng Yu hadn't had a strong sense of justice and wanted to kill the Levendi family, Cheng Fu would not have been chosen by the Levendi family as a target of revenge against you.
He would not be able to obtain the power he has now, and nothing today would happen.
And Cheng Fu's perfect timing makes your mission a success at the last moment.
In terms of simply taking revenge on you, Cheng Fu has actually succeeded.
But he will never know that his success was not achieved by himself, but by accidentally stepping on a node that he could not understand."
Cheng Guangnian was stunned. He finally understood everything, but he had no chance.
The system began to count down, and Cheng Guangnian could only accept his final fate.
What does endless darkness look like?
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"eight!"
"seven!"
…
"one!"
"Goodbye, dear Guangnian."
Cheng Guangnian felt his eyes go dark and his eyelids were completely closed. Even if he tried his best, he could not open them again.
However, his brain was actually still active and thinking, and he felt that except for being unable to move, nothing else had changed.
Oh, and vision.
He really seemed to be in an endless darkness, he just couldn't see anything, and it felt like he was floating in the air.
However, his hearing was still there, and he could still hear the even breathing of Ning Kezhu on the bed next to him.
He could still feel the slight coolness brought by the metal when his fingers were resting on the edge of the bed.
However, he now doesn't even have the strength to move his fingers.
Darkness, only darkness, deep darkness, boundless darkness.
"System, are you still there?"
Cheng Guangnian discovered that he could still communicate with others in his mind.
Of course, there is no one with the same ability as him. He can only try to communicate with the system.
"Of course I'm still here."
"Since my mission failed and my fate has been decided by you, why haven't you left yet?"
"Because my program is doing coverage, it's a long process.
When the program is overwritten, I can reselect a new host.
Only after the new host is determined will I truly leave your mind.
Well, so please cherish this time.
After all, during this long but short period of time, you still have someone to communicate with.
During this time, you can tell me what you have heard, thought, and speculated on.
I may be able to tell you whether things are going as you judge."
"So, I really have no chance to wake up again? I'm just pretending to be dizzy, not really dizzy!"
At this moment, Cheng Guangnian really hoped that this was just a joke played by the system on him.
It's not that he is afraid of death, he just feels that he still has many unfulfilled wishes and he doesn't want to die now. Otherwise, he could have chosen to hand over his property to Cheng Yu and die happily.
"From my logical point of view, you have no chance. Just enjoy this endless darkness."
The system said jokingly, expecting that Cheng Guangnian would also let out some unwilling complaints or angry roars. In the past, when the hosts failed their missions and entered the endless darkness, all of them were like this without exception.
Cheng Guangnian's performance just now also confirms this point.
But it was strange that after the system finished telling Cheng Guangnian to enjoy the darkness, Cheng Guangnian really never made any sound again.
Because the program began to be overwritten, the host relationship between the system and Cheng Guangnian has been terminated. Although it can still communicate with Cheng Guangnian while it continues to stay in his mind, it can no longer read his thoughts.
In other words, as long as Cheng Guangnian does not convert those thoughts into language in his mind, the system will no longer know what he is thinking.
The system was surprised that Cheng Guangnian was not as hysterical as the previous hosts.
This is an interesting phenomenon. It seems that Cheng Guangnian is really a different host.
The system feels that its judgment on Cheng Guangnian is not wrong. At least, he is the best host among the hosts that the system has experienced.
In terms of his performance after entering the endless darkness, Cheng Guangnian is worthy of the term "the best".
However, the system did as it said, and did not care about Cheng Guangnian's performance. It only felt a little strange.
