Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 461: Chapter 461 Golden Tycoon (26)

“Bring the person up here.”

The bloodied and mangled individual was dragged forward and thrown in front of Lin Feng and Lin Yan.

Lin Yan’s body shuddered, not daring to look at the person.

Her fingernails dug fiercely into her palms, her trembling body betraying her fear at the moment.

“Now you know fear? Why didn’t you think of that before?” the Boss’s voice cooled down, “I wasn’t stingy with you, yet you joined hands against me, Lin Feng, Lin Yan, you two siblings have truly opened my eyes.”

“Boss…” Lin Feng’s voice was hoarse, “I didn’t, someone framed us.”

...

The Boss walked down the steps.

He stood in front of that bloodied and mangled person.

“Lin Feng, you’ve followed me for so many years, I thought you should understand how I operate.”

Lin Feng’s breathing hitched.

How could he not understand?

The Boss was someone who wouldn’t take action unless he had solid evidence in hand.

The Boss lifted his foot and stepped on the person’s face.

The barely living individual screamed miserably.

That sound circulated in the room, chilling to the bone.

Apart from the person sitting in the chair, everyone standing around averted their gazes.

The Boss’s gaze swept over the room, satisfied with the reaction of the person in the chair.

“You colluded with the Qing Gang, coveting my position, huh?”

“Boss…” Lin Yan tried to explain.

However, the Boss raised his hand, and the side projector displayed an image.

Lin Yan saw herself meeting with that person on the screen.

Her face drained of blood, and she could no longer utter a word.

It was over.

Completely over.

“I just want to know, why?”

The Boss’s voice was very low.

It was unclear whether he was asking the Lin siblings or himself.

Lin Yan’s body was already failing to support her, she collapsed on the ground. Lin Feng gave her a hand, and they leaned on each other.

“Why betray me?” the Boss suddenly intensified.

That look was one Lin Feng and Lin Yan were both familiar with—it was how he expressed his anger.

The Boss rarely showed anger; at most, his face would darken, leaving his pleasure and anger inscrutable.

But now he was truly angry.

“Why?”

Lin Feng looked up at the Boss.

“Heh heh heh…” A blood-stained face suddenly broke into a smile, “Why… Why indeed! Ever since I got here, she’s always been above me!”

Lin Feng suddenly pointed at Chuzheng.

“Even though my performance was no worse than hers, why did she have to be above me?”

The hatred in Lin Feng’s eyes was something the original owner had never seen before.

It was resentment towards her.

Lin Feng, Lin Yan, and Xia Chuzheng joined the organization together.

Since they came from the same place, they were supposed to look out for each other.

And at first, it was indeed the case.

However, as time passed, with the changes in training, one by one, people around them were eliminated due to failures. Xia Chuzheng began to stand out and caught the attention of the higher-ups.

Eventually, because of her, all three of them were taken to another place for training.

It was as though all his efforts were because of Xia Chuzheng.

Even later, when they went on missions together and were jokingly referred to as the “Golden Triangle” by the organization.

But what he heard the most was how outstanding Xia Chuzheng was.

With his self-esteem repeatedly damaged, as a man, how could he stay calm?

Chuzheng never expected that Lin Feng’s betrayal of the original owner was simply because the original owner outclassed him…

“Do you know why I prefer Chuzheng over you?”

Boss listened quietly, then asked calmly.

“Why?!” Lin Feng also wanted to know, “I don’t think she’s better than me.”

“Because you’re too eager for quick success and instant benefits,” Boss said. “When you went on tasks together before, on several occasions, it was Chuzheng who turned the situation around. You have the ability, I won’t deny that, but your actions determine how far you can go.”

He had pointed this out to him long ago.

Unfortunately, he had not understood.

So he reassigned Chuzheng to prevent him from ruining the person he had high hopes for one day.

However, he did not expect Lin Feng to have such thoughts deep down.

Lin Feng seemed to realize something, his lips quivering slightly.

“There’s nothing more I can say at this point,” Lin Feng gritted his teeth, “I’ll listen to whatever you decide.”

“Heh.”

Boss let out a cold laugh.

“Brother…” Lin Yan called him, shivering, “I don’t want to die.”

Lin Feng glanced at her and finally softened, “This matter has nothing to do with my sister, it was me who forced her, please, Boss, have mercy.”

Boss lit a cigarette.

The room suddenly fell quiet.

“Chuzheng.” Boss called Chuzheng’s name, “What do you think?”

His deep gaze fixed on her, would have unsettled anyone else, but Chuzheng seemed oblivious, answering with a flat tone, “Go by the rules.”

“You heard her,” Boss was pleased with Chuzheng’s response, “Rules are rules, and no one is allowed to break them.”

Lin Feng raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Boss, “I’ve done so much for you, can’t you let me off this once for old time’s sake?”

“If you remembered the rules, you wouldn’t have ended up here.”

–

The evidence was right there, leaving Lin Feng and Lin Yan with no room to argue.

Boss called everyone together, intending to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

To betray him, to betray the organization, was a fate worse than death.

After dealing with the traitors, Boss let everyone else go but kept Chuzheng behind.

“Chuzheng, I heard you used to like Lin Feng?”

Boss, puffing on his cigar, asked casually as if making small talk.

“That was in the past.” The original owner thought her affection was well concealed and undiscoverable, but it seemed that Boss knew everything.

Boss glanced at her, crushing the cigar butt into the ashtray, “Those messages were sent by you, weren’t they?”

“What messages.”

“The ones related to Lin Feng,” Boss said.

“Although in our line of work we don’t often talk about rules, such things still require evidence,” Chuzheng calmly explained, “It wasn’t me.”

Boss chuckled softly, “Alright, it doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. You just need to know that the organization is where you belong, never betray it.”

My place of belonging…

How could it possibly be here.

Bullshit!

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.” The Good Person Card is still at home.

“I heard you took on that task from Jin Ning?” Boss mused.

“…” She had reported the mission to the organization, unable to deny it.

Boss continued, “Have you earned Jin Ning’s trust?”

“He has a list in his possession, I need you to find it.”

“What list?” Chuzheng asked.

“You need to find that out yourself, I only know he has it, but I’m not clear on what form it takes,” he said. Otherwise, the task wouldn’t be so difficult.

“How am I supposed to know what I’m looking for?” Was this intentional difficulty?!

Boss spoke with a hint of depth, “Chuzheng, you’re very clever.”

“…” Even if you praise me, I can’t find something when I completely don’t know what it is and without any clues!

If it really was found.

It wouldn’t be found.

It would be fabricated!
