Zhu Shijiu originally thought that he had seen the destruction of the world, the sight of alien insects covering the sky and the sun, and the extinction of an entire continent, and that nothing in this world would shock him anymore. However, the words that the Commander just said really shocked him.
That cold and calculating man had actually been in love before
To be honest, Zhu Shijiu couldn't imagine that guy being in love at all.
At this moment, Zhu Shijiu even suspected that the head of the command center had gone crazy because of his own calculations and was talking nonsense.
"You... Minister, I didn't expect that what happened the night before yesterday had such a big impact on you..." Zhu Shijiu said with a little embarrassment.
Looking at Zhu Shijiu's sympathetic expression that looked like "Are you crazy?", An Hui clenched her fists and really wanted to punch this guy in the face.
But she finally held back and said expressionlessly: "Although he and I did have a relationship, we didn't have a heart-wrenching, epic love."
"I met him during the assessment to join the organization. He was a cold-blooded bastard at that time, but unfortunately I didn't realize his true nature at that time. Instead, I fell in love with him without hesitation."
Zhu Shijiu looked as if to say "go on, I'm listening", and said nothing, allowing the woman to tell the story between her and Xu Feng.
An Hui knew that Zhu Shijiu still didn't believe it, but she didn't care. She continued, "At that time, he passed the assessment with the first place, and I was the second place. At that time, I wanted to be the first in everything, so naturally I wanted to compete with him. He joined the headquarters, and I joined the headquarters. Whatever courses he chose, I also chose the same courses. But in the end, he surpassed me in every course... Soon, he became a household name genius—just like you now."
Zhu Shijiu made a "hmm" sound and said nothing, but frowned slightly. How could he be compared with Xu Feng
"Then, I fell in love with him. When I asked him to date me, he agreed without giving it much thought... Don't look at me with disbelief. Anyway, although I was not as good as Xu Feng at that time, I became a genius second only to him. In the eyes of everyone, he and I were a perfect match!"
An Hui sighed with emotion as she recalled.
"But... what you don't know is that I didn't see through it at all at the time. He only agreed to date me in order to use me."
Zhu Shijiu couldn't help but ask, "Use you? What can you use?"
An Hui sneered, staring into Zhu Shijiu's eyes and said, "Why? Didn't Xu Feng tell you? It seems that he really hid the matter between him and me very well. Or are you not Xu Feng's confidant at all?"
Zhu Shijiu sighed and said, "How could Commander Xu be involved with a small person like me? Minister, please don't say such things."
An Hui sneered and stopped questioning Zhu Shijiu. Instead, she told the truth about Xu Feng using her: "The commander at that time... was my father."
Zhu Shijiu was slightly surprised. Wow, you are the son of an official
This time he actually believed An Hui's words. Given Xu Feng's unscrupulous character, it was indeed possible that he would use every possible means to get to the top as soon as possible.
An Hui said: "The fundamental purpose of his approaching me and interacting with me was to create a path for him to be promoted quickly. He used all means to coax me and make me willingly do anything for him. And I followed his wishes and worked with my father, allowing him to sit on the throne of commander-in-chief amidst the expectations of the public..."
Having said this, An Hui seemed to recall some hateful scene. Hatred flashed in her eyes, and her fists on her legs were clenched tightly, and she spoke with gritted teeth.
“… Then, my father died the day after Xu Feng took office.”
Zhu Shijiu didn't expect such a sudden turn of events.
"This news caused a sensation at the time, but it also consolidated the position of Xu Feng, who had just taken office. Because of my father's death, it meant that Xu Feng would no longer have any obstacles in issuing orders to his subordinates. He did not need to go through the review and approval of more experienced former commanders. He could unscrupulously demonstrate his ability to reform and develop the organization..."
At this time, Zhu Shijiu, who was listening to these secrets, interrupted: "Wait... Wait a minute, it seems that you think your father's death was caused by Xu Feng? Why? Do you have any evidence?"
An Hui looked at Zhu Shijiu, but her eyes were extremely empty. He felt that the minister was looking through him, at Xu Feng who was deeper and farther away.
"On the day Xu Feng took office, my father decided to let Xu Feng and I hold a wedding and officially become husband and wife. That night, my father and I invited Xu Feng to our home. My father and I got drunk. Before I went to bed that night, I saw Xu Feng enter my father's study room with my own eyes, but when that bastard came out, he told me that my father had fallen asleep in the study room and told us not to disturb him!"
“… However, the next day, I found a suicide note on my father’s desk. The handwriting was indeed my father’s, but the content was about how he could not bear the pressure of saving the world during his years in office, and finally decided to commit suicide after abdicating.”
Hearing this, Zhu Shijiu fell silent.
"I don't know what Xu Feng said to my father, but he left my house after coming out of my father's study that night, and the autopsy results showed that my father died the next morning!"
"I didn't believe it. I didn't believe my father's suicide note, and I didn't believe my father would commit suicide! But after that, when I came to his house to ask for clarification, Xu Feng asked me to break up."
You can imagine what a huge blow this was to a woman who had just lost her father.
The night before, An Hui was still immersed in sweet love, fantasizing about her happy life after marrying Xu Feng, and looking forward to the wonderful picture of the two of them working together to save the world and having a harmonious and happy family. But the next day, her father died, and her fiancé, who was a suspect, broke up with her.
When Zhu Shijiu wanted to comfort the minister out of empathy, he realized that this was not the end yet.
An Hui said: "After Xu Feng dumped me, my mother also left a suicide note, saying she was committing suicide for love. She also committed suicide."
Miserable. This is really miserable.
Zhu Shijiu really had nothing to say this time.
"Xu Feng didn't give any explanation for my father's death. Since then, he seemed to have never had any contact with me. He ignored my existence. He didn't even come to my father and mother's funerals!"
She still remembers the scene when Xu Feng told her he wanted to break up with an expressionless and cold face. The pain in her heart shattered into glass that could never be repaired, leaving a scar of hatred in her heart.
From that day on, she climbed up desperately, and finally climbed to the same level as Xu Feng, becoming the head of the command. She was unable to ask the truth of that day, and she had been waiting for Xu Feng to give her an explanation, but nothing came of it.
An Hui finished telling the story between her and Xu Feng, and then stared at Zhu Shijiu.
"Zhu Shijiu, aren't you very smart? Aren't you the greatest genius in history? Then can you deduce what Xu Feng said to my father that night?"
"… "
Zhu Shijiu kept silent.
An Hui shook her head and laughed: "That's right, you don't know anything, so of course you can't say anything."
Her eyes softened as she looked at Zhu Shijiu.
"I'm telling you this not to play the victim, but to use my personal experience to show you how ruthless Xu Feng is. As long as he achieves his goal, he can ruthlessly discard all worthless things. Following Xu Feng is no less than courting death, and you will most likely get nothing in the end."
After saying this, An Hui stood up.
"Finally, I'll give you one more piece of advice - no matter what you want to do, don't take advantage of girls' feelings. Don't become the next Xu Feng."
