Chapter 334: Chapter 141: The Cold Confession of the Disguiser, Perfect Curtain Call for the Traitor_4

This time, I’m sorry, I will really come back.

To become a revolutionary in such a world, the difficulties I face are far greater than those I faced back then, so I must have a higher consciousness.

He knows it very well.

This might not be the last time he betrays his own people.

...

"President Yang, the Ma family..."

Returning to Yang Bingzhong’s side, Ren Zhong carefully asked.

Yang Bingzhong waved his hand, "No worries. Ma Dafu, his father, and his daughter all have problems in their heads and have been detached from the Ma family for many years. It’s not that easy for them to go back once they’ve left. Besides, even if they do return, I’m not made of clay. As long as you follow me well, I’ll naturally protect you, so don’t worry."

Ren Zhong said with a mix of anxiety and joy, "Hmm, thank you, President Yang."

"Ren Zhong, regarding today’s relocation, I have another arrangement for you."

"Please go ahead, President Yang."

...

After a long while, Yang Bingzhong patted Ren Zhong’s shoulder, "Although you only have third-level strength, I highly value your mind. Once this matter is settled, and we arrive at Chromium Carbon Town, I will entrust you with significant responsibilities and provide you with plenty of resources to help you become a fourth-level professional faster."

Ren Zhong was extremely excited, nodding, "I’ll make sure to accomplish the task even if it kills me!"

This was another purpose of Yang Bingzhong’s orchestration of today’s drama.

The so-called peaceful breakup was not enough for him to fully trust Ren Zhong.

The best way was to let Ren Zhong completely sever ties with Ma’s father and daughter, turning against them.

Only then could he truly gain a new confidant he could trust.

This was very good indeed.

Look at Ma Xiaoling’s deplorable look of betrayed affection just before leaving.

Tsk tsk.

If she were an ordinary girl from the wilderness, she wouldn’t care about such trivial honor, and in terms of passion, she might be playing him instead.

But undoubtedly, Ma Xiaoling is a simple-minded girl, truly mesmerized by Ren Zhong.

She truly believes in love.

So, when a pure girl is publicly told she was played by a scumbag, she naturally feels extreme shame and anger, with a deep-seated resentment that cannot be erased.

Good, very good.

There’s a way to deal with the wilderness people, and there’s another way to deal with citizens.

I, Yang Bingzhong, truly am a master of manipulation, and the hefty management training fees I paid were worth it.

...

Reception room on the second floor of the town hall.

Click clack click clack...

Wearing war armor, Ma Xiaoling paced back and forth, her face full of anger.

Ma Dafu rubbed his temples, "Stop pacing around, you’re making me dizzy."

"Dad, I don’t get it. Even if I don’t want to kill him, I don’t really want to kill him, but just letting him go so easily? It’s not right, is it?"

Ma Dafu: "Anyway, he made a fool out of us two. Just go kill him, I’ll find a way to protect you, at most, I’ll just reduce your Citizen Level."

"Uh... It’s actually okay. Nothing truly happened between us, I’m not even mad at the video Yang Bingzhong released. I’m mad because of how he dared to play us like this."

Ma Dafu waved his hand, "Forget it, nothing we do can change the outcome, so what’s the point of a fish dying, and the net breaking?"

Ma Xiaoling: "I still can’t get over it. How can people be so despicable to this extent? I even can’t figure it out, I have to have an explanation, otherwise, I can’t sleep, and I’ll be so angry that I’ll die."

Ma Dafu pondered for a long time and asked, "Do you really think Ren Zhong is that kind of person? Is my judgment of character really so poor?"

Ma Xiaoling was shocked, "Really? At this point, you still want to talk yourself into thinking better of him? Do you think he really had ulterior motives?"

Ma Dafu: "But he did help me gather intelligence. Although this intelligence never really was of any use. For instance, he didn’t have to tell me about the conspiracy among Purple Crystal Mining, Mengdu Group, and Yang Bingzhong, but he shared it with me in advance. His words and actions have never matched."

Ma Xiaoling: "Uh..."

"Recall his and Yang Bingzhong’s conversation carefully. He told Yang Bingzhong you wanted him to break up with Ju Qingmeng, Zheng Tian, and Chen Hanyu."

Ma Xiaoling spat, "Shameless. Had I known he’d use me this way, I wouldn’t have played along for anything."

"But just now as Yang Bingzhong played the video, Ju Qingmeng sent me a message. She told me Ren Zhong and she shared the same room for so many days and nothing happened. They were innocent."

Ma Xiaoling: "Huh?! Does that mean Ren Zhong isn’t lustful at all! Is this also part of his act? What’s the purpose?"

Ma Dafu: "Two intentions. First, to expose a nonexistent weakness to Yang Bingzhong, making him trust Ren Zhong more. Second, he already knew this video would be released publicly before his conversation with Yang Bingzhong, so he’s throwing out a point of doubt that could make us speculate."

Ma Xiaoling: "But this doesn’t make sense, right? The investigation can’t pass, and your goal can’t be achieved, so from the results, he’s the only one who gains. Even if he wanted our cooperation, he could have told us in advance. But he keeps hiding it from us, what’s the point? Are you the Mayor, or is he?"

Ma Dafu shook his head, "Because he couldn’t find a reasonable motive for us to cooperate with him in the act. Additionally, his fabricated identity and unclear purpose of approaching us and ultimately abandoning Starfire Town are objective facts. Meanwhile, he doesn’t trust your acting skills, feeling necessary to see your genuine anger."

Ma Xiaoling: "No, I’m getting dizzy. Dad, you’re making life too hard for yourself, and you old coins... uh, no."

Ma Dafu continued analyzing, as if convincing his daughter, or perhaps himself: "It’s precisely this point of doubt that made me decide to trust him one last time."

Ma Xiaoling tugged at her hair, "Then what on earth is he doing? What’s the meaning? I can’t figure it out!"

Ma Dafu was also at a loss, because he couldn’t figure out the significance of Ren Zhong’s series of actions, as clearly it changed nothing.

"It’s so frustrating, never mind, I still want to give him a good beating to let out some anger."

Ma Xiaoling slammed the table, breaking Ma Dafu’s solid wood teatable, and left by herself.

But she didn’t actually go to Starfire Resources to confront anyone, instead returning to her own room.

...

Amid the roaring sound echoing through the wilderness, the submarine building of Starfire Resources slowly ascended into the air.

This building was, from the start, a large flying device.

Ren Zhong, who had already led a convoy nearly ten kilometers out of Starfire Town, looked back at the submarine flying device, then turned and said to Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai beside him, "Sister Tang, Brother Jiang, President Yang’s departed, let’s go too."

Tang Shuying smiled, "Ren Zhong, you’re the commander of our ground forces. Before the mission ends, just call us by our names. Our task is very important; we must strictly follow the boss’s instructions and adhere to the clear militarized management of hierarchy."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Then, with apologies."
