Chapter 702: Confrontation Outside the Battlefield
Lewis was silent for a while, looked at Lin Rui and said, "Is this what you mean, or is it the meaning of the silver wolf?"
"What I mean is also the meaning of the silver wolf, and it is also the meaning of the Black Island Military Company. Lin Rui replied, "Is there a difference?"
"It's the first time in so many years that I've seen a mercenary who dares to threaten me like this. "You know, walking down 42nd Street on New York Avenue in the direction of 5th Avenue, you can meet a lot of well-dressed girls standing at the intersection and greeting you, hoping that you will take care of their business?"
In my opinion, you mercenaries are no different from those girls. I'd love to know what gave you the courage to threaten someone like me?"
"Admittedly, you were once a senior officer in the Strategic Command and now you are the head of the Management Council, at least on the surface. All you think you're amazing and think you can play with us. But if you're wrong, we're not necessarily afraid of you. In a high position, there will always be more worries, because you will get too much to worry about losing. And we are just a bunch of outlaws who work for money, and we have nothing to lose.
Just like when you laugh at the girls who sell their bodies on the streets, they may be lowly, but you who patronize them and then laugh at them for being lowly, I can only give you two words shameless. If you're brave enough, try not to revoke the punishment you have imposed on us and see what happens. Lin Rui said coldly.
"Why don't I kill you and just get rid of the trouble?" Lewis looked at Lin Rui and said.
"You don't dare to do that because it's a gamble you can't afford to lose. Besides, even if I kill me, there's no way I'm going to stop what I'm talking about, you don't know where the evidence is. If anything happens to me, they'll soon be revealed. Soon you will be investigated, and the forces behind you will not save you, but will only be busy clearing themselves. Lin Rui said slowly.
"How can I believe that the so-called evidence is in your hands?" Lewis sneered.
"I understand your suspicions, but maybe this thing will strengthen your mind. Lin Rui pushed a mahogany box on the table towards Lewis. This is a box for cigar smoke.
Lewis frowned, "I don't smoke. ”
"I didn't give you a cigarette either, why don't you open it and take a look. Lin Rui shrugged.
Lewis suspiciously opened the box, only to find that it contained a sealed glass test tube with some unknown liquid in the tube. As soon as Lewis saw the label on it, the muscles in his face instantly stiffened.
"Be careful, it's not going to do you any good if this thing breaks. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "You should have seen this thing when you were in charge of the virus weapon, right?"
"You bastard, what the hell are you trying to do? Why are you keeping this, are you crazy" Lewis grimaced as he closed the box and carefully placed it back on the table.
"You see, that's the difference between us, you're used to being pampered. So the reaction to seeing danger is a different story than those of us who spend all day rolling around in the pile of dead bodies. I let you see this because I want to tell you that even if it's a virus, as long as it's sealed, it's safe.
As long as you cooperate well with our Black Island Company, your evidence will never see the light of day, just like this closed virus. But if you reach out and try to grab it, the test tube with the virus in it will break, and then it's a mess, you know. Lin Rui shrugged.
Lewis was silent, and he found himself meeting a truly difficult figure today. The Lin Rui in front of him didn't care who he was, nor did he care about his life or death. Lin Rui doesn't care about anything anymore, in his words he has nothing, what else is there to care about? Such people are precisely the most dangerous, because their indifference means that they are uncontrolled and unruly.
Lewis looked at Lin Rui and said slowly, "What if I help you this time, and you don't keep your promise?"
"We are not going to break our promises, because it is a great thing for us to have a head of the management board with whom we have a good relationship. If it's a great thing, why are we targeting you?" Lin Rui shrugged.
"Ha, I really underestimated you, young people are really terrible nowadays. You still want to use that evidence to blackmail me for a long time?" Lewis gritted his teeth and sneered.
"It is to maintain friendly relations for a long time. Lin Rui shrugged, "Of course I know that by doing this, I can't win true friendship." But I also know that in the eyes of people like you, there are never real friends, only real interests. He spread his hands, "What do you think?"
Lewis sat in front of Lin Rui for five minutes, watching every change in Lin Rui's expression. Eventually, he nodded, "You won this round, it's really not easy for young people." Mind if I ask for your name?"
"Lin Rui. But some Americans like to call me Ricklin. I don't have any opinion either. Lin Rui shrugged.
"Lin Rui, Lin Rui?" Lewis frowned slightly, "Some time ago, the winner of the Waynes competition?"
Lin Rui nodded, "That's me." ”
Lewis looked at him deeply, "Okay, the people of the Black Island Company are really not idle people. With that, he turned and left his chair, pushed open the office door, and strode out.
Lin Rui leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath, he knew that he had made the right bet. He had no evidence of Lewis's betrayal of intelligence. It was only in the virus room that Schmed heard some of Lewis's connections to the matter. With no way out, he decided to take a risk.
The bet was that Lewis didn't dare to turn his face against him, and the test tube containing the virus deepened Lewis's fear at a critical moment. He was right, Lewis, who was completely in a dominant position, would not be willing to lose both sides with the Black Isle Company. Therefore, the additional punishment imposed by the management committee on the Black Island Military Company will definitely be revoked.
Lin Rui finally let go of the boulder in his heart, and the whole person became exhausted.
Silver Wolf Michelle walked in and applauded Lin Rui Xiaosheng, "I never thought that you could actually make Lewis soft." Lin Rui, well done. If I had said that, he wouldn't have believed it. I'm amazed by how well you handle things. ”
"It's just because of Lewis's caution. Lin Rui sighed and said, "He lacks understanding of me, so he doesn't dare to take risks." If you say that, he won't buy it. It has nothing to do with ability, it's just that he refuses to deny his own judgment. In his eyes, I'm just a kid who doesn't know how thick the sky is. So he subconsciously thought I couldn't fool him. The more this is the case, the more you will be fooled. ”
Lin Rui sighed, he was too tired. The confrontation outside of the battlefield is even more exhausting than the actual battle. Because you have to pay attention to the other person at all times, and you have to pay attention to your words and deeds and feelings at all times
