"Wait a minute!" Heidler pushed the newspaper on the table aside. He frowned and thought about everything that had happened recently. He always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't tell what it was. Something is wrong.
It is not a difficult decision for him to directly abandon Du Lin. The success of a character will inevitably use more people as stepping stones. Otherwise, how can he prove that he is the most successful one
Dulin does have investment value, if he can grow up healthy and strong.
There is a premise here, that is, he can grow up without dying, instead of becoming a past that only exists in people's memories due to such inexplicable things halfway. Now, this possibility is expanding rapidly, so much so that the value of Dulin's investment has been infinitely reduced to the edge of zero.
He was disliked by the mayor before he could accumulate his own advantages. At the same time, he didn't know how to find a way to leave the city. He was no longer valuable.
Many people may still have memories of the past for the worthless things around them, such as an old children's crib that has been placed for many years. Even if they have a new crib due to various memories of childhood and other reasons, The bed also didn't want to throw away the old rocker. Humans are emotional creatures, and this proves it.
But businessmen are obviously different from people. This does not mean that businessmen are not people, but in terms of emotions and how they treat things. For businessmen, items without value are equivalent to waste and can only be discarded. Dulin is such a waste. He has lost his value before he "gets up". It is not a wrong thing to abandon him.
But Heidler just felt that something was not right. He shook his head and ordered: "Let people pay attention to Du Lin's matter. He should use a lawyer and introduce him to a reliable lawyer."
Introducing a lawyer to Dulin does not mean that Heidler must have some direct connection with Dulin. Heidler has fished out many Guartes over the years. It cannot be said that he has contact with every Guarte. Bar? Even the mayor can't talk about this matter.
The housekeeper withdrew, and Heidler sighed, looking at the gloomy sky outside the glass window, feeling a wave of maddening irritation.
He was very irritable.
He has seen clearly that the old party is unreliable. Only at this time is the wisest choice to join the new party. But the problem is that as a veteran of the old party, it is not easy to break away from the old party. Some people in the Chamber of Commerce are looking at his position, some in the party covet his wealth, and he is also the most unpopular among the Guarts. People wanted to step on his body and climb to a higher place. He did not allow himself to become the loser.
Sometimes he feels very lonely and hates his father who has gone to hell.
If his father had firmed up his position and not betrayed the country's interests and secrets, maybe he would be like the Guarts in the slums now. The family squeezed into a small room and gave birth to a bunch of children every night. They will all go home exhausted. But he feels that such a life may not be unsatisfactory. Indeed, there may be many problems due to poverty, but he will not be lonely.
Look now, he is rich, but he is lonely. He had no one to talk to, no close friends, no partners to rely on, he was all alone.
Sometimes he wonders whether his father passed on the "betrayal" gene to him, so that when faced with a choice, he always chooses the safest and most ruthless one after weighing the pros and cons. .
He wanted to change, and he longed for it, but he didn't have the courage to do it.
A very bright light instantly lit up the whole world, followed by a thunderous roar, and a heavy downpour blurred the whole world in an instant.
"It's raining!"
Looking at the sky outside the iron railing, Du Fu blocked the small window with the removed bed board to prevent the rain from outside from pouring in. The weather is a bit cold now. There is no necessary heating equipment in the damn cage, and I don't know how the people in other rooms spend the winter in such a place. Du Fu rubbed his hands and covered himself with a brand new quilt, finally feeling better.
The stove won't be delivered until tomorrow, so tonight may be a little more difficult.
Du Lin calmly sat on the bed with a quilt wrapped around him, holding a book. He was reading. Sometimes when he encountered words he couldn't understand, he used a pen to draw a horizontal line under the words. Kevin's words always stuck in his mind, and whenever he had time, he would read some book, no matter what it was.
What he is holding in his hand now is a book about reflections on the war called "My War". The protagonist in the book, the author, was lucky enough to survive forty-one battles and wait until the victory of the Great Patriotic War. But this lucky guy lost two legs and an arm, which were the traces of the last and most tragic battle.
The dense and covering attacks from the enemy took away his legs and an arm in an instant. There happened to be a medic beside him, who simply stopped the bleeding and bandaged him, allowing him to survive.
Although he lived and saw the victory of the war, he felt that the war was actually lost.
A once powerful empire was pinned to the ground and beaten violently by a neighbor who used to look down on him, and his pants were almost taken off. Keeping the pants is a temporary victory, but it is definitely not a complete victory. The author's dictation plus recorded re-creation resulted in this book that reflects on the war. It not only reflects on the war, but also reflects on the political system and the sick society.
This book has been a regular on the best-seller list for a long time, and even now, the sales of this book are still considerable.
The poor veteran and author spent his whole life struggling without more than a hundred dollars in his pocket, but the war made him a nouveau riche. Whether it is worth exchanging two legs and one arm for a prosperous life is also a matter worth reflecting on.
"Du Lin, the procedure has been approved. Now the interrogation will begin. You come out first." Mason stood outside the room with a smile and knocked on the door. In this barbaric world, there are occasionally civilized laws and regulations, and all these are brought by the new party.
Du Lin carefully folded a corner of the page, shook off the quilt, put on his shoes and walked towards Mason.
As he walked, he complained, "Damn, it's too cold here. Is this how you abuse prisoners?"
"At least we won't beat them up!", Mason replied.
