Chapter 284 Why did you betray me?
Even though he was about to jump off the building, this man still had a kind smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like a harmless, good-natured person.
If Chen Yan were here, he would definitely recognize him as Zhao Ying's father: Zhao Xuan...
Seeing the woman crying so sadly, Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head and said, "Xiao Wen, there's no need, it's really not necessary."
"When I made the choice half a year ago, I knew this day would come."
"It's just that I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
The woman cried and shook her head. "But you really don't have to go this far. You and he are of the same race. He will let you go..."
Zhao Xuan nodded and looked at the moon in the sky with a bit of melancholy, "You are right."
"If I go to him, he will indeed let me go."
"Even if he didn't want to let me go, he would let me go to show his magnanimity."
"But...I can't."
He looked at the woman and said, "If I don't die, all the branches that follow me will be destroyed this time."
"I'm dead. It's just my own business. It gives everyone else some wiggle room."
"Besides, my death itself was part of the plan. This kind of pressure will cause his reputation in the family to plummet."
"When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. How do other branches of the family view him? How do other branches view him?"
"Do you understand?"
The woman was crying, covering her mouth and shaking her head. "No. I don't want you to die."
Seeing the woman's appearance, Zhao Xuan sighed and said,
"If there was any other choice, I wouldn't do this."
"So..." He looked at the woman with a painful expression and asked, "Why did you betray me?"
As soon as Zhao Xuan said this, the atmosphere on the rooftop froze. The crying woman's pupils also shrank suddenly.
But then, she continued to shake her head in tears, "Master, I don't understand what you are saying. I didn't betray you."
Hearing the woman's words, Zhao Xuan looked at her with a bit of melancholy and said, "You know what? As early as two months ago, I felt that there was something wrong with the people around me."
"No matter how powerful Zhao Qingtian is, he can't accurately guess my moves every time, launch a counterattack at the first opportunity, and defeat me in just a few months."
"Although I know he is the strongest person of our generation, but... I don't think the gap between us is that big."
"So, I suspect there is a traitor in our expenditure."
"Moreover, the identity and status of this insider are very high."
"I counted the plans I leaked and found that... you three are the only ones in the family who know so many secrets."
"But I don't know who the traitor is. And... after your betrayal, our defeat is certain and there is no way to turn the tables."
"So... after thinking it over, I decided not to struggle anymore and start leaving a way out for myself."
The pain on his face gradually disappeared, as if the expression just now was all a lie.
The smile returned to his face. He smiled, put his hands behind his back, and turned his back to the woman. His voice was gentle, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend, "But... I really can't accept it."
"If I was defeated fairly by Zhao Qingtian, then I will accept it wholeheartedly. But if I was betrayed by a traitor, I really can't swallow this humiliation."
"So... I decided to find the traitor before I fail completely."
"So, half a month ago, I started to act very depressed in front of you, and from time to time I hinted that I was ready to die."
"Afterwards, I made some inconspicuous changes to the shareholding agreement and branch account book that Zhao Qingtian wanted the most, and gave them to the three of you. I asked you to keep them and hand them over to Yingying in the future."
"As a result... Zhao Qingtian got your share."
At this point, Zhao Xuan turned around, looked at the woman, and asked, "So... do you have anything to say?"
The woman's pupils had completely contracted at this time, and she looked at Zhao Xuan with a little disbelief.
After a while, she asked, "So...the information and agreement you gave me were fake?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Of course it's true."
"In other words... no matter whose share is given to Zhao Qingtian, it will be real. He will definitely get what he wants."
The woman could no longer act. She looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Zhao Xuan raised his head 45 degrees and looked at the bright moon. "I told you. Defeat is defeat. There is no way to save it."
"Unless this matter ends with me, it will implicate too many people."
"So, this is what I must explain to Zhao Qingtian."
"otherwise……"
He blinked at the woman. "With Zhao Qingtian's intelligence, how could he believe that I would commit suicide out of despair?"
The woman suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "You...you are going to...?"
Zhao Xuan turned around, with his back to the woman, and said with a smile, "Actually..."
"It doesn't matter if I die now. Yingying has made all the arrangements. I am very relieved about the people around her, especially that young man."
"After I die, they will take good care of her. And Zhao Qingtian will let her go."
"Moreover, my 'death' has helped all the families. Each branch will remember a piece of love, which will make their future much smoother."
He smiled, a very frank smile.
"So, I must die."
"After I die, this matter will be my own business."
"Only after I die will I have the last hope of winning."
"It's just a pity. Xiaowen, maybe... you have to accompany me today."
The woman listened to Zhao Xuan's words, looked at him in horror, and quickly turned around and ran out.
As she ran, she took out her cell phone and panickedly wanted to call Zhao Qingtian for help.
She wanted to tell Zhao Qingtian that this was all a conspiracy!
I want Zhao Qingtian to save me!
However, after taking out her phone, she realized that for some reason, there was no signal at all.
At that moment, an idea flashed through her mind: large signal jammer.
Then, in the darkness, a handkerchief suddenly covered her mouth.
Half an hour later, this building, which was several dozen meters high, suddenly caught fire...
…
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, the weather was not very good and it was drizzling in Qindao.
But this kind of weather is very suitable for sleeping. Chen Yan woke up at around 8 o'clock, then crawled around in the quilt and took another nap. He slept until 11 o'clock before getting up.
Maybe because he slept too long, Chen Yan felt a little tired.
Getting up from the bed, Chen Yan yawned, stretched, then picked up his phone and looked at it.
I received a lot of WeChat messages on my phone.
Chen Yan clicked on them and found that they were all sent by Lu Man.
This little devil probably just won the Best Actress award and couldn't sleep, but didn't want to disturb Chen Yan, so she kept sending messages to Chen Yan: Chen Yan is used to sleeping in silence.
As soon as he woke up in the morning, Chen Yan saw a long list of messages sent to him by his beloved, and he was in a good mood.
He took a look at the content Lu Man sent. Most of it contained positive emotions such as surprise and happiness.
Mixed in there was also a lot of her thoughts about Chen Yan.
She said she really wished Chen Yan could be with her now.
She also said that Sister Meili asked her to stay in Shanghai for two more days to consolidate her network and cooperate with Dior's promotion.
And she said it. At first, although Dio was pushing forward with his own affairs, he was not very enthusiastic.
This time, perhaps because Lu Man won the Best Actress award and her popularity soared, successfully becoming a first-line actress, Dior's attitude took a 180-degree turn and became extremely enthusiastic.
Not only did he negotiate with Sister Meili about various resource supports, but he also took the initiative to bundle certain resources with Lu Man.
So, taking advantage of last night's heat, Sister Meili also negotiated the general cooperation in one go. That's why Lu Man suddenly became busy.
After reading Lu Man's message, Chen Yan smiled.
He knew that besides being a funny little girl, Lu Man was also very ambitious. Although she complained on WeChat, she was very happy to be busy.
Of course, he knew it in his heart, but Chen Yan couldn't say it out loud.
So he called Lu Man. On the phone, Chen Yan was considerate and caring for Lu Man, and then denounced the evil capitalist: Sister Meili, saying that she exploited Lu Man's labor.
Lu Man cried on the phone, saying that Chen Yan was so nice. She really missed Chen Yan. She and Chen Yan complained about Sister Meili's exploitation.
Then... she forgot that Chen Yan was actually the boss of the company. Whether she or Sister Meili, they were actually employees working for Chen Yan...
After not chatting with Chen Yan for long, Lu Man started working. Lu Man was reluctant to hang up the phone with Chen Yan, and said that she would accompany Chen Yan well when she returned in two days.
Chen Yan always has a bad feeling...
So, after hanging up the phone, Chen Yan made himself a cup of wolfberry tea. He felt that he should also find a way to make some of his abilities stronger.
Although he and Lu Man are evenly matched, but... his opponent is not just Lu Man.
He and Lu Man always suffer losses on both sides, so he has fallen into Lu Man's trap!
While thinking, Chen Yan went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he came back, he found that his loyal brother Qin Ming had called him several times at some point.
Chen Yan called back curiously.
The phone was connected before it rang once. It was obvious that Qin Ming had been waiting in front of the phone.
Chen Yan was a little curious about what urgent matter Qin Ming had that made him look for him so anxiously.
As a result, as soon as the call was connected, Qin Ming's deep voice came over, "Brother Chen. Something happened. Zhao, Zhao Xuan is dead."
