Chapter 179 Bai Lao's Expectations
After Bai Lao finished speaking, he walked past Liu Honglong and bowed deeply to Cao Ning, saying:
"Thank you, my friend, for helping me get rid of my inner demons! I don't need them anymore now."
As he spoke, his lips trembled slightly, tears welled up in his old eyes, and he looked at the corpses on the ground...
There wasn't even the slightest desire to eat!
After eating the blood ginseng, he ate humans for decades in the days that followed, right?
Every time, he fed the pieces of human flesh into his mouth like a greedy glutton!
The code name Twenty-Three is like a brand, embedded in my soul!
Just as Seventeen said, it is because of his inferiority complex that he wants to quickly distance himself from them, right?
I am not afraid of death. I have lived for more than seventy years, so I have one foot halfway into the coffin!
I have lived enough!
What I pursue in my life is nothing more than Cathay Pacific...
And find the truth that was lost that year!
But when I thought about how I would spend the next few decades like a greedy hyena, devouring the flesh and blood of others to survive!
Am I still the “hero” that everyone praises me as?
When I was confused and possessed, the mysterious swordsman with murderous aura woke me up.
Wave goodbye, welcome the future, and embrace new life!
And when I completely fainted, I had a very long dream...
I dreamed that I was standing on a hillside and saw the most spectacular "painting"!
Even the national treasure-level Along the River During the Qingming Festival is not one-tenth as beautiful as this painting.
On that cliff hillside, I saw a winding mountain road...
Forty or fifty men returned home from work, each carrying a hoe on their shoulders, complaining to each other about the trivial things that had happened that day.
Or maybe you discover something you have never encountered before in the farmland.
Fireflies were floating in the sky, as if guiding the men towards a village.
When we arrived at the village, the fireflies in the sky seemed to have completed their mission and died one after another.
Women with babbling children walked out of the village, and the tired smiles on the men's faces disappeared instantly, replaced by joyful smiles.
He walked up to his wife and gently and carefully touched the child's cheek with his rough big hands.
The sincere smiles on their faces seemed to say that all the hard work of the day was worth it.
The lights in the village were lit one by one, and the light seemed like a holy halo, reflecting the entire canyon...
We are like street lights made up of millions of fireflies, emitting heat so that they can find their way home...
Cao Ning stretched out his hands and helped Bai Zeng up little by little. With a respectful tone, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Bai, you are exaggerating. Compared with what you have done, what we have done is nothing but a small matter."
If Cao Ning were in Bai Zeng's situation at that time, he would definitely refuse this matter outright.
Maybe people have different ambitions. My own ambition is nothing more than to live a peaceful life.
Bai Zeng sighed slightly after hearing this, and then said slowly:
"With you in China, an old man like me can finally feel at ease."
As he spoke, he looked around and saw the corpses everywhere, and his heart was filled with emotion!
But there is not a trace of mercy. We are all adults and should bear the consequences of our choices!
If Cao Ning hadn't appeared, this would have been a situation that was totally out of control!
If those sworn brothers of mine were illuminated by the Buddha's light, not to mention the rivers of blood flowing on Mount Lhasa!
Several nearby cities will suffer!
Cao Ning shook his head slightly and said:
"Let's leave it to Xu Si who is beside you! He is much more reliable than me."
As he spoke, he gently grasped Bai Zeng's old hand and gave Bai Zeng a copy of the blood ginseng cultivation site in his mind.
Xu Si, who was holding Bai Zeng's arm, suddenly froze, and was at a loss...
I could only smile foolishly and flatteringly. Coming to this mountain was of no use at all!
Bai Zeng felt that there was something extra in his mind and felt a little surprised, but then the surprise gradually disappeared.
He nodded with a smile on his face, and then said with emotion:
"You are all good kids. China will really depend on you in the future!"
The mysterious leader wearing a mask comes to mind...
There seemed to be a hint of determination in his body, and then he continued:
"I must clean up everything you give me thoroughly."
Cao Ning smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Liu Honglong was confused. What encrypted words were they talking about?
It's easy to threaten Hao Yi, but it's easier to threaten Bai Lao...
I was a little dumbfounded when I saw Mr. Bai just now...
I'm also worried that Mr. Bai will leak the news on the mountain, or he's still considering how to get away with it. He's notoriously difficult to deal with in the circle!
I didn't expect that he would appreciate my precious son-in-law so much!
Then Bai Zeng's words made Liu Honglong a little dumbfounded...
Bai Zeng said to Cao Ning in a very serious tone:
"My dear friend Cao Ning, although my life is useless, I still have some say in China. As long as I am alive... Haiqing Province will always be your strong backing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Honglong, Liu Mankui, and the members of the [Liu] team all took a deep breath!
In fact, the actual controller of each identity actually has traces of standing in a team, and it is possible to rely on the official side of the company...
Or rely on the major military regions.
But Mr. Bai, who has been upright and never taken sides all his life, now chooses to take sides!
And he chose Cao Ning!
That’s Haiqing Province!
A province that ranks among the top five in both military and economy!
And Mr. Bai can be said to be the person with the highest status in that province!
Instead, an expression of great surprise appeared on Hao Yi's face. His fists suddenly clenched, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
I said to myself:
"Oh my God! I never thought that I, Hao Yi, would enter the official career when I am almost 60 years old! Let's see who dares to call me an honest man in the future!"
Cao Ning just smiled calmly and said to Bai Zeng half-jokingly:
"Mr. Bai, don't scare me. I'm just a small employee. My boss is still there!"
As he spoke, he pointed towards Xu Si who was beside him.
Everyone's eyes turned to Xu Si, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads...
Why did you bring the topic to me again? You must be kidding me!
Cao Ning's words were very clear, that is, he was only suitable to hide behind the scenes, and the people in charge on the surface had to take over his hands.
Then he smiled awkwardly and said:
"Oh my! Why is it so cool today?"
The midday sun shone on everyone's faces, and they all felt a sense of heat.
Bai Zeng heard this, smiled, shook his head and said:
"It's quite cool! I'm almost going back."
As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured:
“It’s time for a reckoning.”
After saying that, he walked slowly down the mountain.
As he walked away, he looked back at the platform every few steps, and said to himself:
"Sixth brother? If there is an afterlife, I hope we won't be brothers like this..."
Everyone looked at the hunched body being supported by the three brothers of the Bai family. A breeze blew gently, and the empty arms fluttered in the wind.
I don't know why I felt respect in my heart.
This admiration...
Maybe it's for this person who has dedicated his whole life to China...
From a young man full of vigor and vitality, he gradually became an old man who needed help to walk? !
