The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1418 This prosperous world, as you wish

According to the level, Luo Wenzhou was not interrogated and investigated by ordinary organs as it should be, but was taken over by a special organization.

In the empty and deserted corridor, the sound of gentle footsteps gradually sounded.

No one was on guard, no one was on duty, and even when he reached the door of a cell, he easily pushed the door open.

I don't know whether it's negligence or some reason, but the chain is not connected here.

In the prison room, Luo Wenzhou, who had suddenly been reduced from the height of the temple to a prisoner, leaned on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he was dozing off, as if he hadn't heard the door open.

The footsteps came closer and closer, and then stopped in front of the bed.

"Luo Ju, it's time to eat."

Hearing the sound, Luo Wenzhou gradually opened his eyes.

One person was standing by the bed, holding a lunch box in his hand.

He immediately sat up straight, without any desolation or despair of falling into the abyss, and his smile was still as open as when we met a few days ago.

"I'm really ashamed to trouble Director Cao to deliver the meal in person."

Cao Xiuge put the lunch box on the side table.

"It should be, Luo Ju has always been a role model for me in my career."

Luo Wenzhou shook his head and smiled.

"At a time like this, Director Cao, please stop teasing me. Once I commit an offense, I'm not qualified to be a role model. Director Cao should change to another object of study."

After putting the rice away, Cao Xiuge turned his head and set his eyes on the prisoner's face.

"Could it be that Director Luo thinks that Xiu Ge is not qualified to learn from you?"

"Director Cao, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that at all."

After explaining with a smile, Luo Wenzhou got out of bed, went to the table and sat down to eat. It wasn’t a delicacy, but an ordinary box lunch, but he seemed to eat it with gusto.

"Director Cao, have you eaten yet? How about we go together?"

"I'm not hungry."

Cao Xiuge softly rejected the other party's kindness.

He was also gracious, or rather patient, standing there without interruption, waiting abruptly for Luo Wenzhou to finish eating a box of lunch.

"Director Cao, thank you for the meal, it tastes very good."

After taking a sip of water, Luo Wenzhou wiped his mouth after eating and drinking. He sat there with a big horse and said: "I didn't expect Director Cao to be in charge of the interrogation. If you have any questions, please ask Director Cao directly. I will definitely Cooperate."

"Luo Ju, I have always respected you, and this has never changed."

At present, Luo Wenzhou has been suspended for investigation, but Cao Xiuge still uses the honorific title, without the acrimony of adding insult to injury, and his tone is as polite as ever.

Luo Wenzhou smiled.

"Director Cao, I also have rich experience in interrogation. I really don't need to play any emotional cards with me. If you have something to say, you can speak it directly. I will know everything and say everything."

Cao Xiuge looked at him quietly for a while, then nodded.

"Since that's the case, then Xiu Ge won't beat around the bush. Director Luo, someone reported that you had an affair with the Queen of the Rivers and Lakes in Shu, and the involvement was deep. Is this true?"

"Director Cao is referring to Gong Zhengyu?"

Luo Wenzhou nodded, and said very calmly: "Yes, I have known her for many years, but our relationship has always been very pure, making friends is not wrong, right?"

"It's not wrong to make friends, but does Luo Ju know Gong Zhengyu's identity and background?"

Luo Wenzhou smiled and said, "Director Cao, don't forget what I used to do. If I don't even know who she is, wouldn't it be ridiculous."

He could have asked all the questions and tried his best to clear himself of the charges, but he was almost ready to plead guilty if he said that.

"Since this is the case, why did Director Luo choose to have a deep friendship with him? Are you not afraid of giving people a reason? After all, you are white and she is black."

"Director Cao, let me tell you a secret."

Luo Wenzhou said suddenly.

Cao Xiuge's eyes flickered slightly, but the next thing he heard.

"Actually, for so many years, I have been trying to 'recruit' her, but unfortunately I haven't succeeded yet."

After saying that, Luo Wenzhou sighed regretfully.

The corners of Cao Xiuge's mouth rose slightly.

"Is Director Luo joking with me?"

Luo Wenzhou glanced at him and said with a smile: "Of course not, but Director Cao can take it as a joke."

Both sides have been courteous to me for so long, and Luo Wenzhou doesn't want to continue pretending to be stupid anymore. Since the other party is standing here, they have already clearly shown their intentions, so it's just a waste of time to continue talking like this.

"Director Cao, let's get back to business, what do you want?"

Luo Wenzhou went straight in, and Cao Xiuge didn't dodge any more.

"I think Director Luo knows what I want, so why bother to ask?"

Luo Wenzhou's expression gradually returned to calm.

"I've always wondered why you did this? What's the reason?"

"Luo Ju, I have had a great wish since I was a child. I will do my best to restore the glory of the Dragon Kingdom to its historical prosperity. For this goal, I am willing to give everything. On this point, we are like-minded."

Cao Xiuge's tone was calm, but it was full of unshakable strength like gold and stone.

Luo Wenzhou's eyes narrowed,
He originally suspected that the Huangrui Group had colluded with the blood clan, so he felt puzzled, but now it seems that the facts seem to be different from what he expected.

"how do you want to do it?"

Looking at this son of the Cao family, whom the entire temple placed high hopes on, he asked in a deep voice.

If he was given enough time, he might be able to find out the real intention of the other party, but the other party's reaction was too fast, and he was not given too much time at all, and he was thrown into prison directly by means of thunder.

"Luo Ju, what I want to do, you can see it with your own eyes in the future, believe me, I will make this prosperous world as you and I wish."

Cao Xiuge's tone was inexplicable and his eyes were deep.

Luo Wenzhou felt that he understood something, but he seemed to understand nothing.

"What if... I don't cooperate?"

He spoke slowly.

Cao Xiuge was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Luo Ju, the coming of a prosperous age must be accompanied by the dedication and sacrifice of some people."

The cell was quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if the flow of time could be heard.

Faced with perhaps the most difficult decision in his life, Luo Wenzhou's eyes kept fluctuating, and he remained silent for a while.

He seems to have a choice.

But in fact, there is only one road ahead.

"Kang Xiaochun was seriously injured when we arrested him, and died shortly thereafter."

After being silent for a while, Luo Wenzhou spoke slowly, then raised his head, staring at Mrs. Cao who had never sat down.

"I only have one request, to let Gong Zhengyu go."

Cao Xiuge nodded silently.

"Thank you."

Luo Wenzhou smiled.

"Luo Ju, you've worked hard. Next, leave it to me."

After saying that, Cao Xiuge turned and left.

The door closed again.

Knowing that in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, it would be difficult for him to see the light of day again, Luo Wenzhou got up again, sat on the edge of the bed, turned around, and touched the head of the bed.

There, there was a pistol he carried with him. When he came in, for some reason, it was not disassembled.

He held the gun in his hand, stroked it slowly, with a peaceful expression.

"boom!"

Before he was far away, the muffled gunshots behind him made Cao Xiuge stop abruptly.

Gunshots echoed endlessly in the corridor.

Cao Xiuge stood where he was, his expression froze, his eyes trembling slightly, and finally, he closed his eyes slowly.

"Go on."
