Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 984 If I let Lu Huizhong and He Songling fight like dogs, wouldn't I be safe?

Zhao Fangxu was practically suffering from respiratory alkalosis, but Lu Huizhong showed no sign of making a move.

He had no choice but to save face. Fortunately, Zhao Fangxu still knew how to cultivate Qi, even though he was incredibly bad at it. Some geniuses who had just obtained Qi were probably stronger than him, but they still had Qi after all.

Based on the experience of the underground boxing champion that Ma Xianhong found in Biyou Village, as long as one obtains a trace of Qi, one is stronger than someone who does not know how to use Qi.

So Zhao Fangxu managed to calm himself down and awkwardly asked, "What brings you here?"

In fact, Zhao Fangxu understood why Lu Huizhong had come. In this internet age, photos, videos, and even live streams of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony were circulating online. Ever since He Songling's face was revealed, even Xu Si, the regional head, had heard rumors that Lu Huizhong was about to emerge from seclusion; how much more so Zhao Fangxu?

They must have come for He Songling.

The question is, what exactly does Lu Huizhong mean? Is she going to help He Songling destroy Na Du Tong, or what?
“I’m here to find He Songling. Since you’re the head of the Extraordinary People, I don’t need to look for anyone else. You mobilize the entire Extraordinary People world to find He Songling for me. I’ll go find him and settle the score with him over the years. This matter has nothing to do with your All-Knowing Martial Arts School, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Lu Huizhong said it casually.

Her words relieved all the board members; at least they didn't have to wipe out everything right now.

And judging from what this old woman said, it seems she still wants to seek revenge on He Songling.

Seeking revenge is good, seeking revenge is good. No matter what grudges these two have against each other, or how the couple became estranged, examples of couples turning against each other are not uncommon. As long as these two deities don't join forces, that's something to be happy about.

"He's heading this way right now!" One of the directors, who had ulterior motives towards He Songling and was filled with fear, anger, doubt, and anxiety, and who was also colluding with Qu Tong, shouted out on the spot.

"You son of a bitch..." Zhao Fangxu turned around and glared at the man, wishing he could kill him on the spot. But unfortunately, he was not strong enough, and Lu Huizhong was too powerful. Even though he had a gun in his hand, Lu Huizhong had a million ways to stop him.

"What do you mean?" Lu Huizhong glanced at the director who had spoken.

"I just received the news a couple of days ago that he was heading straight for our company headquarters. He's probably almost out of Hebei by now. In two or three hours at most, you'll see him right here at the gate."

The director was well aware that this move would displease Zhao Fangxu, but as he said before, everyone was playing by the same rules, and even if they lost, he would have a sense of security. Unlike someone like He Songling, who was outside their rules, their past status and experience were of no use.

This sense of panic made him absolutely unable to tolerate He Songling's existence.

"Okay. I'll wait." After saying that, Lu Huizhong plopped down on the ground. Seeing this, the Tang Clan members dispersed, and the tension eased.

However, the main entrance to Na Du Tong was still completely blocked by them. "Are you fucking stupid? Huh? I'm asking you, are you stupid?" Seeing that the situation had eased slightly, the directors retreated back into the hall to discuss the matter amongst themselves. Zhao Fangxu grabbed the collar of the man who had spoken earlier and roared in a low voice.

"Old Zhao, I know you're cautious and gentle, but the question is, can you really keep this a secret?" The director wasn't intimidated by Zhao Fangxu at all.

"If I can't hide it, can't I at least lie to them?" Zhao Fangxu was at his wits' end. "If they really fight, what good will it do you? Let me ask you, if it causes a huge public disturbance, or even disrupts normal social order, do you think you can still sit in this position?"

“Then you’ll be the first to step down, Lao Zhao. You can’t just act like the boss when you’re giving orders.” At this point, the director didn’t hold back anymore. “Whether I step down or not is irrelevant. At worst, I’ll destroy my meridians and become an ordinary person. I’ll be a full-fledged department head, which is the same rank as you now.”

"Old Liu, Old Liu, what am I supposed to say to you? How could you be so stupid!"

Zhao Fangxu finally figured out Chairman Liu's true intentions and couldn't help but laugh angrily: "What is the relationship between Lu Huizhong and He Songling? They are husband and wife! Do you think she is closer to you or to He Songling?"
They've been together since the War of Resistance against Japan. In fact, He Songling decided to marry her so he could join the Tang Clan and fight the Japanese ninjas, thus boosting the resistance in Northeast China. And you, trying to sow discord between them? Who do you think you are? You think you can possibly cause any trouble?

"Ah, this..." Just now, Chairman Liu acted like a drowning person grasping at a straw, instinctively making some excessive movements. When people are trying to save their lives, they don't think about any sense of proportion. Now that he's temporarily out of danger, Zhao Fangxu's words have made him break out in a cold sweat again.

Then, as if explaining to Zhao Fangxu, and as if convincing himself, he said, "No, it can't be. They were only in their early forties when they got married, and they were only together for a few years. Now, they have been separated for more than seventy years. Not to mention the length of their marriage, it's almost twice their age at the time. How could they have such deep feelings?"

Moreover, it's quite common for couples to turn against each other. While it's rare for ordinary people, how many times have people of our status witnessed such conflicts? Often, the hatred between spouses runs deeper than that between the most hated enemies.

After listening, Zhao Fangxu looked at Chairman Liu with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Say what you just said again?"

Mr. Liu retorted defiantly, “What’s wrong? Weren’t they forty when they got married? They got married in 1940, and He Songling had already disappeared by 1945. What’s wrong with what I said? Or do you really think that couples fighting in bed and making up in bed is the daily life of every couple?”

"Sigh." Zhao Fangxu shook his head, completely giving up on trying to save his colleague.

“You said it yourself, they were still on their honeymoon when He Songling disappeared. They haven’t seen each other for over seventy years. What makes them have a grudge? What is the source of that grudge? Old Liu, if you’re still alive after this is over, you can become the general manager of the logistics department.”

"This...I..." Chairman Liu was speechless. Not only because Zhao Fangxu was right, but also because he was shocked that Zhao Fangxu had exiled him with just a few words. Although he had been repeatedly reminded before that fighting Zhao Fangxu within the rules, even if he lost, would still allow him to save his life, which was better than being killed by He Songling.

But when the time actually came, it was worse than death for him.
