Chapter 50 Doing Evil Is Like a Shortcut
Sean took a deep breath and said, "Please allow me to ask a question next: If these 27 people survive, how unhappy will Qiankun Group be?"
Lu Nan was slightly stunned.
Sean said: "It is true that Qiankun Group has a complete way to make these 27 people die in social terms, but as long as these 27 people are not substantial, it will always be a big and small threat."
"Maybe for the giant Qiankun Group, the threat of these 27 people will not shake its foundation, but the disease of tinea scabies also requires decoction, and no normal person likes to take medicine."
"What's more, the tinea scabies that are a huge creature have a completely different meaning to individuals. For example, for Ning Tao, the life and death of these 27 people may also determine his life and death. His performance in [Di 4399] is already bad enough: it is obviously his responsibility to die here, and the loss of [Xuanhuang Blood] must be counted on his head. If he makes up the insult to injury, he will definitely die."
Lu Nan sneered: "What's the matter with that Hutt bastard?"
Sean said: "It's true that it's not our business, but it's very much about the Qiankun Group. If Ning Tao is still running away with 27 people, it's not just a disease of scabies, right?"
Lu Nan heard it a little confused: "Why did Ning Tao run away with those 27 people?"
"Because staying here is a dead end, and you can at least have a chance to survive if you escape."
"What's the meaning?"
Sean explained: "For Ning Tao, his current situation is actually like walking a tightrope, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces. The only thing he can rely on at this time is the identity of the director of the branch, which can provide him with enough political resources to relieve himself of his sins. So, what if we block this path? He has no choice but to die."
Lu Nan frowned and said, "How to block it?"
Sean said: "This issue needs to be considered from a different perspective. For Ning Tao, if he wants to escape from his sins, the only choice is to find someone to blame. For example, the enemy is too despicable, such as [Qinglong] is too cunning, and the subordinates are too incompetent. In fact, only the last one here has practical significance. He must select some subordinates to help him take responsibility in order to escape. But if you are subordinates, will you take the blame honestly?"
Sean asked and replied: "No one is really willing to take the blame for his boss, but Ning Tao is the director of the branch. His voice is greater than his subordinates and his resources are more than his subordinates. It is not easy to take the blame if he is coercive and tempted by the coercion and temptation? Unless someone can help them at this time."
Speaking of this, let alone Lu Nan, even Anping and Xu Bo, who had voted against, couldn't help but join the conversation.
"What do you want to help?" Anping asked.
Sean said: "Collection of all the evidence that was not conducive to Ning Tao on the scene, including the evidence of his dereliction of duty and even crime here, to the person who is most rebellious here, tell him the result of resistance and the result of not rebelling... Of course, this is just my preliminary idea and may not be used together. After all, I don't know Qiankun Security, so I need your help."
Anping and Xu Bo looked at each other and did not speak for the time being.
Sean then said to Lu Nan: "Imagine if we could 'incite the director of Ning Tao as the branch, what would be the chaos of Qiankun Security and even within Qiankun Group? How many people would sleep all night, and how many would be crushed to pieces in the storm? And don't you want to see that picture with your own eyes?"
Lu Nan finally smiled.
"Actually, I hate you the most a gentleman who talks about great principles and knows that 90% of this matter cannot be done. However, I like the principles you said this time, I will add two hundred points to you."
Then, she looked at Anping: "Sorry, Captain, I voted in favor this time."
An Ping said helplessly: "Okay, then everyone can move. Sean has a good idea, and only the details need to be polished and filled. Our Hongxing team needs to do things after getting the money. Sean generously donated three million, so we can't cheat him."
Sean was surprised: "Three million!?"
Anping smiled: "What do you think is the dividend for this mission? 30% of the savings of Rat King, plus the ill-gotten wealth stored here by Ning Tao and others, add up to at least 25 million Qiankun coins. After deducting the cost of the action and the channel cost of selling stolen goods, the dividends that fall on everyone's heads are almost 2.5 million. Although you are a newcomer and have many immature aspects in the action, you have repeatedly played a key role, and the final dividend will not be less than 3 million. If you return to the base safely to get dividends, you can pay off all your debts directly, and the excess can be found in Boss Li to exchange for the information you want."
Sean couldn't help but feel a thriller: "Information?"
"Even Xiaozhuang can see your thoughts, don't pretend. Although our Silver Knights will not ask about each other's past, it does not mean that we don't pay attention to each other's present. You are clearly worried about people and things, and Boss Li handles these things most efficiently. Basically, as long as it happens in the Qianxing system, you can investigate clearly. Although it is expensive, it is almost the case."
Speaking of this, Anping asked with a smile: "So, do you want to go back on your word now?"
Sean was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Of course there is nothing to regret. Even if Li Yu has great magical powers so much that he can directly arrange for a master and apprentice to meet again, he will not be able to sacrifice 27 innocent lives at the expense of his 27 innocent lives.
Otherwise, what kind of face will you have to see your master?
Anping said: "It's good if you don't regret it, because it's too late to regret it. No refund will be accepted for the orders taken by the Hongxing Team."
While speaking, the team captain also took action, with a little nostalgia and a little cynicism towards Ning Tao, who was trembling in the distance.
"Let's talk."
Xu Bo and Lu Nan were moving faster. One went to the surveillance room to retrieve information and collect evidence, while the other carried his love gun and left the underground square and returned to the ground.
Sean was once again amazed at the Hongxing Team's tacit understanding of the division of labor, and then found his own task - to appease the 27 survivors without any advice.
In the next rescue operation, the people who must be rescued also actively cooperated. In the Hongxing Squad, only Sean had enough affinity and patience to mobilize these civilians.
When he arrived at the door of the room where the survivors gathered, Sean changed into a gentle smile, then opened the metal door and stepped in.
The panic almost came to my face, and the 27 terrifying and grey faces caught my eye, so that the warm-toned decorations in this room originally for VIPs to rest and enjoy were overshadowed.
Sean took a breath, maintained a smile on his face, and said straight to the point: "I will arrange a cargo ship for you later. Please follow our spaceship closely, and I will take everyone out of here."
After a moment of silence, the breathing in the room became rapid. Sean saw more clearly the light of hope bursting into many people's eyes.
However, at this moment, someone whispered hoarsely: "Why should we believe you? We have suffered such tricks that deliberately give people hope and despair too many times."
As soon as the words were finished, the hope that had just lit up in the crowd suddenly faded away.
Sean turned his eyes and saw a hunched middle-aged man in the corner of the room, wrapped in a thick blanket with mottled stains, but it was difficult to cover up the rotten stench of flesh and blood on his body.
The pain and suffering this person endured was clear at a glance, so Sean also understood his distrust.
However, before Sean could comfort him, someone in the crowd stood up and retorted: "They are [Baiyin]'s [Red Apricot Team], and they are not in the same group as Ning Tao!"
Immediately, someone echoed again: "That's right, the group of demons that Ning Tao summoned has been killed by all the people from the [Hong Xing Squad]! They are not in the same group!"
The middle-aged man with a hoarse voice said, "What if it's not a group of people? They even dare to kill high-ranking officials and nobles. Will they be ruthless to us? What are the benefits of saving us? Are we rich or powerful? Why should they do things that are not good?"
"Uh..." The retorted person was speechless.
And Sean didn't know how to answer this question.
Because he asked correctly, saving these innocent survivors would not do the team any benefit. In fact, the team members did not intend to save people, but they insisted on their own and the rescue operation was launched.
The reason why he wanted to save people had nothing to do with the benefits - in fact, Sean paid them a dividend of three million and had to bear the risks brought by the rescue operation.
However, Sean does not do things for the benefit. He cares more about right or wrong than good or bad. But even if he says this persistence, who would believe it?
So Sean could only say in another direction: "It's only a dead end to stay here. If you run away with us, you will at least have a chance to survive."
But I heard the rotten middle-aged man laughing dullly: "I have heard this kind of thing more than once. 'Run quickly, if you can run a hundred meters, you will be saved, but if you don't run, you will die now'. As a result, running desperately only makes the demons laugh happier. Who can really survive?"
These words suddenly aroused fear like resonance. In the room, the survivors made various twisted moans, as if the people who tortured them were back to their side.
Sean was a little helpless, and for a moment he really had the urge to show his lightsaber and show his identity.
If you call in the name of Jedi, the persuasiveness should be much higher, right? Unfortunately, this can only be used as the last bad strategy.
The Jedi apprentice changed his words again: "At least you are still alive now, and those demons are dead. You may not trust me, but you should trust basic reason and logic. Even if it is used as a gambling, the benefits of entering and betting are better than waiting to die."
The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this: "Rationality and logic? You tell us logic at this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind Sean was opened.
Lu Nan walked in with a body of hostility and blood, and as the strong smell of blood poured into the room, a trace of peace that Sean had finally maintained disappeared.
"Help!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Give me aside!"
There were endless calls for mercy, and the 27 survivors shrank behind the furniture like frightened herbivores, in the shadows in the corners of the wall.
Sean turned around helplessly, looked at Lu Nan, who was so murderous that he was like a hungry beast, and said, "Just leave it to me..."
Lu Nan sneered: "Leave it to you to reason and logic to them slowly? Do you really think you are very good at reasoning?"
As he said that, Lu Nan suddenly pulled out a short gun from his waist and aimed at the ceiling and shot randomly.
The energy beam collided with the ceiling and created a brilliant spark, which immediately caused a burst of ghosts and howlings in the room.
"Shut up, I will beat anyone who dares to say anything again!"
With Lu Nan's angry shout, the survivors' wail came to an abrupt end.
Lu Nan aimed at the survivors who were trembling but did not dare to make a sound with a short gun, and said sternly: "In ten minutes, the cargo ship will stop on the ground, and everyone will be on board, and no one is allowed to stay here. As long as one person is left, everyone will be buried with him!"
Someone trembled: "But!"
The next moment, a beam of energy flew over his ears.
"I didn't allow you to speak! I don't need to convince you to agree, and I don't need to answer your questions. I just need all of you to get on the boat honestly and hear it clearly, it's everyone!"
Chapter completed!
