In a room on the second floor of the newspaper, a bloated and slightly obese young man was sitting in a chair at this time, and there was no movement for a long time.
His room was full of mess at this time. Models and hand-made various high-value two-dimensional products were smashed and the whole room looked messy. Judging from the fact that these toys have never been repaired, these do not belong to the newspaper. The product within.
If an acquaintance sees this young man's current expression, he will be extremely surprised. Perhaps in everyone's eyes, the emotions are so violent and the mentally abnormal appearance is too far from his usual performance.
Cheng Guoguo, this rich second-generation, well-known dude, is also a famous pistachio and little fat man in the newspaper, and finally revealed his true colors at this time.
His face was full of gloom, an unknown emotion was brewing, and the phone broke into dregs under his feet. It was obviously after many blows that it broke into this shape.
Cheng Guoguo's mood has been bad during this period, not only because of the turbulent situation in the newspaper now and his precarious situation, but also the abnormal situation at home.
He had called home more than a dozen times, but he couldn't talk a few words before being hung up, as if his parents' patience with him had already endured the extreme.
Just now, his father Cheng Tianlin started to scold him every few words just after he spoke, asking him to hurry home and learn to manage the company and inherit the industry. Although the rationale is this, the words are awkward, and the words are right between the lines. Cheng Guoguo's dissatisfaction.
This caused Cheng Guoguo, who was already on the verge of life and death, to burst into pressure, and confronted Cheng Tianlin on the spot. The father and son were hung up by his mother during a brief quarrel.
What disappointed Cheng Guoguo most was that his always gentle mother didn't say a word during his quarrel with his father, but hung up the phone eagerly at the end.
Cheng Guoguo let out a long sigh of relief. After a long period of calm, he moved his feet away from the phone on the ground. Almost instantly, the phone that had been broken into scum started miraculously. Recover, and even become brand new.
He leaned down a little heavy, picked up the phone, and was about to call his father again to explain his situation, but what was waiting for him was a cold reminder that it had been turned off.
Cheng Guoguo's complexion was very ugly, her fat fingers secretly squeezed the phone, and finally chose to put it down gently. He didn't understand why father and son get along so well.
The original Cheng Tianlin was not like this. As the business got bigger and bigger, his temper and character became more and more impatient, especially towards his wife and Cheng Guoguo at home.
It took almost ten days and a half a month to go home once, always pretending to be more entertaining, but Cheng Guoguo knew in her heart that Cheng Tianlin had changed.
His mother's weakness and Cheng Guoguo's speechlessness indulged Cheng Tianlin's changes to a certain extent, which also caused the gap between them to become heavier and heavier until now, like enemies.
If it weren't for Cheng Guoguo's awareness of the terrifying nature of the next mission, he would not make this call, because every word he said could be a last word, but Cheng Tianlin would not give him even this opportunity.
Since I couldn't figure it out, I didn't think about it at all, Cheng Guoguo focused all his attention on the next task.
In fact, when Cheng Guoguo heard Xu Lang informed him of the captain's authority, he didn't feel surprised at all, because he had known the news a long time ago, and he also knew a big secret.
However, he didn't choose to tell Xu Lang about this, but concealed it with selfishness.
In fact, before Cheng Guoguo and Xu Lang traded, he was not considered a free man, because he and He Xiao before the start of the mission in Room 7, this temporary team was a deal!
The forces within the newspaper are now in a mess. He Xiao and Yan Yan are allies. When Xu Lang just finished the Taohuayuan Festival, Yan Yan received the news of the captain's authority separately sent to him by the newspaper.
After thinking deeply, he turned his gaze on He Xiao. Unlike Xu Langshang who didn't know it, Yan Yan had known a great god behind He Xiao, and his alliance with He Xiao was also based on the face of a mysterious person.
After He Xiao learned this information from Yan Yan, he also began to form his own forces, and was the first to set his sights on Cheng Guoguo, who was still a free man at the time.
The original Cheng Guoguo was dismissive, and it wasn't until He Xiao pointed out the existence of a mysterious person that Cheng Guoguo had a change in attitude.
However, He Xiao and Xu Lang's methods of wooing are completely different. Xu Lang only points out the pros and cons, while He Xiao is intimidating and attracting.
In the end, Cheng Guoguo agreed to He Xiao and secretly traded, which made him very dissatisfied, so when Xu Lang approached him, he pretended not to know, but the thinking at the time was true.
Cheng Guoguo is very smart. He doesn't want to hang himself on a tree, especially when He Xiao has already pointed out the existence of mysterious people, he has been wary.
The newspaper's current water is too deep, so deep that he can no longer play, then he can only unite.
Strictly? No, the two of them look down on each other, and He Xiao, due to the identity of the mysterious person, made Cheng Guoguo particularly jealous, so he would accept Xu Lang, who seems to be in a severe situation.
In this way, the two of them will trade in an equal manner, and at the same time, Cheng Guoguo can rely on He Xiao's identity to obtain more clues.
The newspaper still maintains a steady progress in the eyes of the newcomers at the bottom, but in the eyes of the senior veterans at the upper level, this battle filled with gunpowder has begun.
Cheng Guoguo's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and the emotions that were extremely out of proportion to his body were slowly brewing in his body.
During this period of time, Xu Lang had observed all the past cases in hand. Time passed quickly, and the calendar at Xu Lang's desk had been turned over for a week.
During this period, Xu Lang did not make any actions, nor did he make any arrangements, and neither the first nor the second person had contact with each other, and Xu Lang had long hidden the content of the text messages sent by the first person in his heart.
After a long rest, the pain of the last broken leg and the tiredness from the task have all disappeared, and Xu Lang's current state has returned to its peak.
It was in the early morning of May 30th, and May was coming to an end. Xu Lang believed that the eighth mission would come in June.
And in June, how many of these executors and familiar faces are still alive today
Xu Lang stretched his waist long, struck a breath, rubbed his stiff face, and was about to go to bed to rest and sleep, but as he changed into pajamas, a very mechanical voice brought a short message. It turned back in his mind.
"The game mission in Room No. 7 has all fourteen performers out of the game, and it is completely over!
The moment this message appeared, Xu Lang's already slightly sleepy brain immediately shook, and he turned his head in the direction of the door unconsciously. I am afraid that this evening will not be calm anymore!
And this news didn't just appear in Xu Lang's mind. Now all employees in the newspaper received the news at the same time.
Suddenly, the employees who had been blocked for nearly half a month blew up their nests.
Especially in Room 208, Lao Ding and four or five young people hurried to the door of Wu Cheng's room, knocked on the door violently, and shouted, "Boss Wu! Boss Wu!"
The sudden arrival of this news caused the faction headed by Lao Ding to completely collapse under the unbearable restlessness. They tried to make a call several times before, but they were stopped by Baimei on the grounds that they were afraid of affecting Kou Zhong's mission.
At this moment they can finally leave the room, they have long been anxious.
After a long time, the door finally opened, and Wu Cheng appeared in front of the door blankly, still in black clothes, staring straight at Old Ding.
This time, Lao Ding's raised hands were stuck in the air, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "Boss Wu, the mission in Room 7 is over, we have to go to the lobby to meet Brother Kou!"
Wu Cheng glanced at him, did not speak, took out a cigarette from his arms, walked directly through the middle of Old Ding, and said, "Let's go!"
White Eyebrow and the rest of the people behind are obviously from another faction from the standpoint of their position. With a raised eyebrow, White Eyebrow raised his eyebrows and peeked at Lao Ding and others who were rushing forward.
It wasn't until the people behind reminded him that Wu Cheng gradually came to the door with Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng was in front of everyone, with a cigarette in one hand and a pocket in the other. He walked forward without a hassle. He had known that Kou Zhong was dead, but he still had to pretend to be.
There was no emotion on his face, so he walked forward to the door on his own.
Slowly put his hand on the handle, but the hand did not press it for a long time, and the old Ding behind was a little anxious, "Boss Wu, let's go quickly, maybe Brother Kou is already in the hall now."
Hearing this, Wu Cheng put his hand on the hand and did not move. He breathed out a puff of smoke, glanced at him and asked, "What if Kou Zhong can't come back?"
"What did you say?" Lao Ding was taken aback when he heard these words, but then gritted his teeth and said harshly: "Impossible! How could Brother Kou die on the first mission?"
Wu Cheng snorted coldly and turned around slowly. At the same time, he secretly used his hands to turn his hands and glanced at his slightly nervous eyebrows without leaving a trace.
The door opened.
Wu Cheng was just about to take a step, but then his body stopped, and his whole body suddenly squatted at the door. The hand that he kept in his pocket finally stretched out, as if he had picked up something from the ground.
After seeing it, he didn't even move.
"Boss Wu, what's wrong with you?"
When Wu Cheng handed the thing to his eyes, his eyes widened, grabbed it, and clenched it firmly in his hand.
It was a note with a crooked line of handwriting, "Kou Zhong is dead, Xu Lang the murderer." (End of this chapter)
