Chapter 504 Choice
[The man is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure. Face to face with an old friend who is blinded by hatred]

[1. You will hold the sword of judgment and punish the participants of the incident. In the name of justice, you will help Guo Nansheng complete his revenge and let him escape unscathed.]

[2. You will continue the shadow of darkness and completely put an end to the past events. Guo Nansheng, who will spend the rest of his life in prison, will no longer pose any threat to you.]

[Please make your choice, the end of the round will be completed by you]

……

Zhou Wang couldn't help but frowned deeply as he listened to the system's prompt.

He hasn't encountered multiple-choice questions given by the system for a long time.

Last time is still the last time, the choice between [Angels and Demons].

They all seem to be related to the fate of others, but they are completely different.

Because "Angels and Demons" is only about the emotional entanglement between two people. No matter what choice Zhou Wang makes, it only affects the fate of two people. He actually does not have too much psychological burden and only needs to follow his own heart.

But this time, the two choices given to him by the system seemed to be just two sides, simple and clear. Either he turned his heart to the light, sorted out all the right and wrong, and helped Guo Nansheng, the only innocent person in the whole incident, to seek justice...

Either he hides in the dark. As the biggest "vested interest" in that matter, he should completely eliminate the threat of Guo Nansheng. This is also the choice that all superiors will make without hesitation.

Adults don’t talk about right or wrong, only interests are eternal.

This is also the easiest way to solve this problem.

After all, by now, when Guo Nansheng brought the bomb into the IFC, he was no longer a completely innocent person. Zhou Wang didn't need to find any reason to deal with him, as he had already charged himself with a huge crime.

On the contrary, the option of helping Guo Nansheng to take revenge would be too troublesome and a wise person would not do it.

So after staring at these two options for a long time, Zhou Wang gradually understood something.

[Would you choose to wear that mask yourself? ]

This was the system's prompting question at the beginning of the round. It seemed to be very meaningful at the time, and Zhou Wang only then realized what was going on.

Is this choice difficult?

He was just having a hard time with himself, because it was undeniable that he still had the moral conscience of an ordinary person, and he still cared about his past friendship with Guo Nansheng.

But if it was "another Zhou Wang" standing here, he probably wouldn't have any concerns.

After all, the other self who is absolutely calm and rational will not be affected by any emotions at all, and his moral standards are definitely different from his own...or in other words, he may not even have such a concept.

Either put on the mask and become "him", or throw away the mask and completely turn away from "him".

Damn, it's so hard to choose...

Thoughts were swirling in his mind. It was unknown how long it had passed before Zhou Wang let out a breath. His eyes became clear again, with an unusual calmness.

Looking up again, Zhou Wang looked at Guo Nansheng who was somewhat agitated.

"Old Guo, stop now while there's still time. I can't guarantee to what extent I can help you, but I will definitely help you..."

Zhou Wang recalled the scene before time went back and sighed, "I'm afraid you don't have much idea of ​​the power of these bombs. Even if it's revenge, so many innocent lives should not be sacrificed."

"innocent?"

Guo Nansheng just shook his head and whispered: "Among these well-dressed people, how many are truly innocent? And you don't understand, Zhou Wang, I don't want to take anything back. Those former assets, even if they return to my hands, are meaningless..."

"But your mother is still alive, isn't she?"

Zhou Wang advised, "Although she is paralyzed, you have ruined yourself like this. Who will take care of her in the future? Besides, it is not impossible for her to recover..."

"how do you know……"

Guo Nansheng was stunned at first, then his expression changed, "You guys were still investigating me?"

Zhou Wang didn't expect that this would cause Guo Nansheng's misunderstanding, but this kind of thing that he heard before time went back was indeed difficult to explain. Originally, Zhou Wang intended to use this as a breakthrough to persuade Guo Nansheng, but he didn't expect that it would backfire.

Zhou Wang was trying to find a reason to make up something, but Guo Nansheng, whose sensitive nerves were stimulated, took a step back and raised the lighter in his hand a little higher.

"So actually from the very beginning, when I approached you at the entrance of Tomson First Class, you already noticed everything, right?"

Guo Nansheng, who thought he had figured something out, laughed at himself and said, "Yes, you are the most scheming person I have ever seen among people of your age. How could these clumsy tricks of mine escape your eyes?"

No, Lao Guo, you really misunderstood!
Zhou Wang wanted to explain but didn't know how to start, so he could only open his mouth and remain speechless.

Guo Nansheng, whose mind had resumed functioning, felt more and more that something was wrong. According to the prior agreement, Gao Xuelan should have called him long ago, but until now, there was no movement from the satellite phone in his pocket.

"Brother Gou, you didn't come here to discuss anything with me. You just wanted to hold me back. You returned the bomb remote to me just to let my guard down..."

Guo Nansheng, whose trust in Zhou Wang had long begun to waver, looked at him with a changed look.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have discovered Gao Xuelan's existence, but you had no way to deal with these bombs at the moment, and you couldn't be sure that this lighter was the only remote control switch. To be frank, you didn't want to help me, you were still thinking about yourself."

Guo Nansheng sneered.

"If I was just trying to deal with you, I wouldn't be here at all. I have a hundred ways to resolve this matter quietly. Do you believe me?"

Zhou Wang stared at Guo Nansheng, trying to make a final effort, "Old Guo, if you are willing to trust me one last time, just put down the lighter. I can't guarantee anything, but at least you still have a chance to see your mother."

Guo Nansheng fell silent.

After a few seconds, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Zhou Wang, you haven't experienced what I've experienced. Now, I won't trust anyone anymore..."

As he spoke, Guo Nansheng cast his gaze towards the metal lighter in his hand. As his fingers moved, the metal casing of the lighter fell off, revealing the original appearance of the remote control, with the bright red button so conspicuous.

"I'm not sure if you are playing any tricks, but my intuition tells me that it will not do me any good to delay any longer. What a pity! I had prepared a little sense of ceremony. I wanted to proceed step by step and see with my own eyes the faces of those enemies who caused my family to be destroyed before they died. But now, it seems that I have to start early..." Guo Nansheng finally took a deep look at Zhou Wang, "Brother Gou, I don't know how much you know about those things. Even if I believe that you didn't do it on purpose, you are the initiator of all this after all..."

"The reason I called you Brother Gou for the last time was because I will always remember that at the beginning of my freshman year, when everyone else said I was difficult to get along with, you were the first boy in the class to talk to me."

After saying this, Guo Nansheng moved his finger above the red button.

"Old Guo, don't..."

As soon as Zhou Wang finished his final words of persuasion, Guo Nansheng closed his eyes resolutely and pressed the red button heavily.

Boom!

The expected explosion sounded, but it sounded a little strange.

Firstly, the sound of the explosion seemed a little far away, as if it was not coming from above his head; secondly, Guo Nansheng did not feel any shock.

He opened his eyes in surprise, and saw that the floor-to-ceiling window was illuminated in all colors. In the sky level with the window, brilliant fireworks exploded one after another, but in the empty space across the window, it was still silent, and nothing happened.

Zhou Wang lit another cigarette for himself. His face was blurred in the dim light. He exhaled a puff of smoke and whispered:
"Lao Guo, since this is your own choice, I can only say sorry to you."

As Zhou Wang finished his words, three or four fully armed figures slowly emerged from the surrounding darkness and surrounded Guo Nansheng.

"The bombs Gao Xuelan gave you are the latest technology. Although my bodyguards are very powerful, they can't dismantle them all by themselves in a short period of time. As a last resort, I can only invite the elite personnel of Tyrant Security. However, once they take action, they must report to the authorities according to regulations..."

Zhou Wang sighed, "I originally thought that if you hadn't used the remote control, there would always be some way to get around it, but now, even I can't suppress this matter by force."

"The police car is on the way. They will take you into custody first and then hand you over to the police along with the sealed bombs... I will hire the best lawyer for you and try to get leniency."

"Zhou Wang..."

Anger and despair echoed in Guo Nansheng's heart at the same time, and only then did he realize that he had misunderstood something.

Zhou Wang didn't find him because he was too late. It was precisely because he was sure of victory that he was so slow...

Guo Nansheng wanted to say something, but as Zhou Wang turned around and waved his hand, his mouth was sealed with tape. He was then picked up by the Tyrant Security Guards and dragged out of the room.

Until the faint sobbing sound behind him faded away completely, Zhou Wang stood quietly in front of the window where the fireworks were brilliant for a while before he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, have you found Gao Xuelan? Well, you must listen carefully to what I say next..."

Zhou Wang took a deep breath.

……

About ten minutes later.

When the grand fireworks show outside the window finally died down, in a private reception room on the 56th floor, Guo Wangshan and others, who were each thinking about their own things, also saw Zhou Wang pushing the door and entering.

After they were brought to this room, although the cell phone signal was restored, they were still in confinement. There were security guards guarding the door and they could not move freely.

Everyone present was of such high status that they encountered such things one after another. Even if, as Zhou Wang's bodyguard said, "everything happened for a reason", some dissatisfaction had already grown in their hearts.

Apart from Guo Nansheng who was relatively calm, Zhang Shiling and He Jinglun, who had learned of Zhou Wang's "real identity" tonight and felt inexplicably in awe, so they did not show much, the other three, Chen Qiaosheng, Liu Heng and Shen Li, did not hide their anxiety on their faces.

Finally seeing Zhou Wang, Chen Qiaosheng was the first to stand up. He forced a smile and said, "Boss Zhou, your way of entertaining guests is a bit too special. We don't have to attend this dinner, but why do you keep us locked up in the small room?"

"And what about that bomb?"

Shen Li couldn't help but ask, "Boss Zhou, are you really unaware of this?"

Liu Heng didn't even smile, but said coldly: "Boss Zhou, I wonder if we can leave now? Since this dinner is so dangerous, I'm afraid I dare not stay here any longer."

Although they guessed that Zhou Wang might be the "seventh person", the mastermind behind the Wangjiang Society, they could not come to a conclusion for the time being. Even if Zhou Wang was really the seventh person, times had changed and their wealth had increased several times, so it was impossible for them to be in awe of Zhou Wang today.

If there was any fear, it was only about the Yunshang Trust that might exist behind Zhou Wang. This was also the biggest reason why several people were willing to give face and attend the dinner.

Zhou Wang, with a calm expression, glanced at each of them one by one, then smiled faintly.

"I knew there was a bomb in that room. I knew it before I asked you to go in."

After hearing what Zhou Wang said, everyone was stunned for a moment. Chen Qiaosheng repeated in disbelief: "You...you know?"

"Yeah, I did it on purpose."

Seeing Zhou Wang nod, they were sure that what they had just heard was not hallucination. Zhou Wang actually admitted it. Their faces turned ugly in an instant.

"Boss Zhou, you...what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Zhou, if that bomb is real, what's the difference between your behavior and murder? Do you know what you are doing?"

While several people were scolding, Guo Wangshan, who was the first to notice something was wrong, hurried over. He first stopped the three somewhat angry people with his eyes, and then looked at Zhou Wang in confusion.

"Brother Zhou, can you... explain it?"

"Do you need any explanation?"

Zhou Wang's deep eyes slowly swept over the people in the room, and his tone gradually became colder, "This is just a small punishment for the greed of some of you. How did Guo Sanli die? Do you really think I know nothing about it?"

"Brother Guo, let me ask you, was this item included in the original plan I gave you?"

Facing Zhou Wang's questioning, not only Guo Wangshan, but everyone else's expressions also changed to varying degrees. Zhang Shiling said in shock:

"Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by that? Didn't Guo Sanli commit suicide by jumping into the sea?"
