The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Papers were scattered all over the floor, each one clearly recording a substantial transfer amount.

Looking at those words written in black and white, Xiao Wang felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he froze completely.

He lowered his head, staring intently at the papers on the floor, his body trembling violently.

The heart is ashamed.

Looking at him like this, Chi Zhengyang noticed a crack finally appearing in his icy desolation, revealing an unconcealable sorrow.

Being betrayed by his own brother was a significant blow to him.

However, in just a short moment, Chi Zhengyang became indifferent.

She raised her eyes and looked coldly at the man in front of her: "And I also want to ask you, your sister-in-law treats you better than she treats me."

"Why did you hurt her!"

This question was like a heavy hammer, completely shattering Xiao Wang's last psychological defense.

He suddenly raised his head, and his once honest face was now filled with madness and distortion.

"Whoosh!"

Without any warning, he pulled something out from behind his waist.

It was a modified small-caliber pistol, its dark muzzle pointing directly at Chi Zhengyang, clearly indicating that they had been prepared for this.

"Be careful!"

Chen Feng's reaction was incredibly fast.

The moment Xiao Wang raised his hand, he had already moved.

With a step, he turned sideways and stood in front of Chi Zhengyang, using his own body to protect the person behind him.

The atmosphere in the entire office froze at that moment.

Chi Zhengyang, who was being protected behind him, showed no sign of nervousness.

He even reached out and gently patted Chen Feng's tense shoulder.

"Don't be too nervous."

His voice remained as calm as ever.

"He won't shoot me."

The words were simple, yet full of confidence.

This statement is more lethal than the gun barrel itself.

It was like a needle, precisely piercing the fragile balloon that Xiao Wang had disguised with madness and violence.

"yes!"

Like a wild beast that had been completely enraged, Xiao Wang roared in despair, his arm gripping the gun trembling violently.

"I dare not fire the gun because I have a family. My child is only in elementary school. If I really fire the gun, their lives will be over."

"Look."

"You're still so smart!"

"They can calculate everything!"

"You always act like you have everything under control!"

"Then why couldn't you calculate that! Why couldn't you calculate that I wanted money!"

His voice was harsh, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

"My childhood friends and old classmates are now either bosses or capitalists."

"They live in villas, drive sports cars, and change cars, houses, and mistresses whenever they want!"

Xiao Wang's face became ugly with jealousy, and he roared like a madman.

"But what about me! What do I have!"

"I am extremely cautious in everything I do, for fear of making a single mistake."

"And I've been with you for thirteen years! A full thirteen years! And I'm still just a lowly special assistant! I see no hope, I see no future!"

"They treat me with utmost respect to my face, but what about behind my back? They all laugh at me for being stupid!"

"But I don't blame them."

"Because compared to them, I really do look like a ridiculous clown!"

Chi Zhengyang listened quietly until his roar subsided before slowly speaking.

"But you already have the affluent life that countless people dream of."

"Isn't that enough?"

Xiao Wang almost screamed as he interrupted him.

"Not enough! Not enough! Far from enough!"

"At this point, there's nothing I'm afraid to say."

"I just love money! I want lots and lots of money! Money I can never spend!"

"We are all born as human beings, and I am no less than anyone else. I have an ambitious heart, and that's true!"

His chest heaved violently, as if he wanted to roar out all the desires and resentment that had been building up for thirteen years.

"Besides, I just casually revealed a little information, and it's worth a million—that's more money than many people could earn in a lifetime!"

"Do you know what it feels like to have that pile of stuff actually placed in front of me?"

A sickly flush appeared on his face, and his voice carried a chilling intoxication.

"That feeling...it was truly intoxicating."

"You bastard!"

Chen Feng, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but speak, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's voice, Xiao Wang seemed to only then notice his presence.

He turned the gun around, not aiming it at Chen Feng, but his frenzied malice poured out.

He looked Chen Feng up and down, a look of utter contempt and mockery on his face.

Do you know how much a million is?

Have you ever seen that much money before?

Chen Feng remained completely still, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

He simply observed the frenzied Xiao Wang with the indifference one would show to an inanimate object.

"Trash is trash, and even the excuses you make for yourself are disgusting!"

Not everyone is like you!

"I will never betray my beliefs for money, much less betray the brothers I spend every day with!"

Chen Feng roared, his fists clenched. If the situation wasn't right, he would definitely rush up and beat the person in front of him to a pulp.

"Faith? Ha?"

Xiao Wang let out a dry and grating laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Can faith put food on the table?

Can faith buy me a car, a house? Can it buy me anything I want?

"idiot!"

He pointed the gun at Chen Feng, his frenzied malice almost tangible.

"The fact that you can say something like that only proves that you are a useless piece of trash."

"Besides, nobody's going to give you a million dollars, so why should I care about you?"

"When a million, ten million, or a hundred million is truly placed in front of you, I don't believe you wouldn't be tempted!"

Chen Feng did not argue with him any further.

Trying to reason with a madman is a waste of time.

He simply uttered a few words coldly: "Don't make excuses for your evil deeds. Not everyone is as filthy as you."

These words completely shattered Xiao Wang's spirit.

He couldn't be bothered to say another word to Chen Feng, that "idiot".

In his view, Chen Feng was a brainwashed idiot.

The madness on his face slowly faded, replaced by a bitter look of utter despair.

He looked at the gun in his hand, then at himself, and finally turned his gaze to the man he had spent thirteen years with.

I don't regret what I've done.

Xiao Wang gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"My only regret is not leaving sooner."

He sighed deeply, "I was too greedy!"

"Always thinking about doing more, doing more..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly twisted his wrist, and the dark muzzle of the gun was instantly pressed against his temple!

The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion, without the slightest hesitation.

"Spare his life."

Chi Zhengyang's voice rang out at the same moment, calm and without a trace of emotion.

Xiao Wang heard it, but he just grinned, his face full of vengeful mockery and relief.

"You're really ridiculous."

"I want to die, what right do you have to stop me from dying!"

"Bang--!!"

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger!

A crisp gunshot rang out in the spacious office.

Xiao Wang's lips curled up, his eyes filled with a mocking glint.

So what if you, Chi Zhengyang, are so great?

Can anything, from heaven to earth, control my resolve to die?

one second.

two seconds.

The mockery in Xiao Wang's eyes gradually turned into doubt.

The anticipated scene of brains splattering did not occur.

Xiao Wang swayed slightly, but aside from the loud noise that made his eardrums tingle, he was unharmed.

What happened?

He froze, then instinctively pulled the trigger again.

"Bang bang bang—!!"

A series of gunshots rang out in quick succession, deafeningly loud.

He was still standing there, completely unharmed.

"Why! Why did this happen!"
