Chapter 887 is nothing more than a simple-minded idiot.
Chapter 887 is nothing more than a simple-minded idiot.
The tall, thin man knew he had been seen through. Instead of answering whether he was satisfied or not, he slowly stroked his palm, and after confirming that all five fingers were broken, he sighed self-deprecatingly, "I was overestimating myself. Comrade Chu is indeed very strong, and of course, very smart."
Chu Xin's gaze also fell on his deformed hand. "Why did you do that? You hit so hard. Are you a masochist?"
The man got up, his voice still steady despite the pain in his back, "Of course not, it's just that someone said you're so strong that no one can compare. Coincidentally, I also consider myself strong enough, so I wanted to test it out and see if the praise was really that exaggerated."
This was truly the first time Chu Xin had encountered such a strange person, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have you ever tested others like this before?"
You know, he's known for his ruthless moves. If he really did, those who are worse than him probably wouldn't have had a good ending, right?
Just like he faced himself.
"Yes, there are, but you're the first person who could turn me into this in one move."
Chu Xin thought to herself, "As expected, this person has some problems."
But that's not important. They're just people I met by chance; there's no need to know them too well.
So she asked again, "You're waiting here specifically because your hideout has been raided?"
As she spoke, Chu Xin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pointed with some surprise at the noisy place not far away, "Don't tell me that your companions are among the people who are currently marching and criticizing others."
The tall, thin man paused for a moment before saying, "Although I don't want to admit it, they have indeed been captured. But don't worry about it. After the parade, they will have somewhere to go. They can no longer make money, but at least their lives will be much more stable. It's much better than fighting pirates overseas."
Chu Xin fell silent, while Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting looked at her with disbelief.
It's rare to see someone who can describe imprisonment in such a refined and unconventional way. I wonder if those currently experiencing the protests would want to kill him if they knew what he was thinking.
Perhaps the way the three of them looked was too amusing, because a smile suddenly appeared on the tall, thin man's cold face. "What, am I wrong?"
Perhaps because he doesn't smile often, the man's smile looks extremely unnatural. Although his facial features are trying their best to put together a smile, his eyes are still as cold and numb as ever.
Chu Xin's eyes hurt from staring, so she waved him off to rest. "Whether it's right or wrong has nothing to do with us. Since you know me, you should know why I'm here. Let's find a place to talk business."
The man quickly composed himself, turned around, and walked back. "Come with me. We can't stay where we were before."
Chu Xin and the other two didn't say anything and followed.
"Is this person really trustworthy?" Ge Shaoting muttered to himself.
He had seen a lot in his life, including strange people, but the person in front of him just didn't seem very trustworthy.
"He didn't even react much when his companion was arrested."
"Then what do you think he should do?" Chu Xin knew what Ge Shaoting meant, but some things couldn't be done the way he wanted.
"Don't forget, this is the mainland. People who are arrested should honestly accept their punishment, serve their sentences, repent and start anew, instead of acting lawlessly like they do in Hong Kong, robbing people with guns and then continuing to harm others."
What goes around comes around; some people get their comeuppance sooner, some later—it's all fate.
Ge Shaoting was stunned by this statement. "Don't you think he's a very disloyal person?"
Chu Xin looked at the slightly unsteady figure walking at the front and shook her head. "No, Ge Shaoting, think about it. He was only entrusted by Su Zihang. Even though his base was destroyed, he still stayed here and waited for us. Isn't he loyal enough?"
Furthermore, would someone who would risk their own life to verify the truth really have so many complex and convoluted thoughts?
He's nothing more than a simple-minded idiot.
