's a ten-year contract waiting for my signature here." A minute later, the reply came through. Wang Zheng imagined Zhang Mingqi’s slightly playful expression but had no idea that she was currently in...Chapter 977: Unfathomable
"I'm very curious to know what kind of play you're going to present to me by bringing me all the way to Hong Kong."
At this time, there were two men standing beside a fountain on the top floor of Times Square in Hong Kong. One was Su Tianran and the other was the sunglasses man from before. Strangely enough, even though it was now midnight, the sunglasses man still hadn't taken off his glasses; if someone didn't know him, they might think he was blind.
Su Tianran gazed down at Hong Kong's night scenery from high up, feeling no comfort despite the cool breeze. It seemed that even the air of this evening was thick and oppressive due to his mood.
"Since I'm just an observer, it's only right that I remain a qualified one. If I were to tell you everything about what happens next now, would you think it too boring" The sunglasses man smiled slightly; unlike Su Tianran who looked down at the night view of Hong Kong, he gazed up at the starry sky, as if his eyes could penetrate the cosmos.
"In terms of strategy, you're truly much more ingenious than me," Su Tianran sighed softly, with a tone full of infinite melancholy. "I can only look up to your greatness; Zhou Yu lamented about Zhuge Liang's existence."
"Zhou Yu lamented about Zhuge Liang's existence" A slight smile flickered across the sunglasses man’s lips: "Young Master Su, please don't belittle yourself. If I were really Zhuge Liang, I wouldn’t have allowed you, Zhou Yu, to live up until now."
Upon hearing this, Su Tianran turned his face and looked at the sunglasses man with a slight smile that also contained bitterness.
However, unknown to anyone in this world at this moment, an icy chill was emanating from China's renowned Su Family’s eldest son in front of this sunglasses man! A sense of danger surged forth from deep within him!
In this world, only two people had ever given Su Tianran such a feeling: one was Wang Zheng, and the other was the man in sunglasses right before him!
This sense of danger was not like an ordinary sense of peril but rather a premonition about the future. In fact, when Su Tianran first learned the true identity of the man in sunglasses, this feeling had already welled up inside him; that time, he hadn't slept for three days after being shocked by the man's true identity!
If I really am Zhuge Liang, would I have allowed you to live as Zhou Yu until now Is this what the man in sunglasses is thinking
Under the condition that Wang Zheng was still alive, Su Tianran knew that he could maintain a superficial friendship with the man in sunglasses. However, if Wang Zheng were to die, then at the first moment, Su Tianran would clash openly with the man.
This was akin to how Romance of the Three Kingdoms played out; should Cao Cao and Sima Yi disappear from this world, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang would no longer have a reason to work together.
When Su Tianran pondered deeply about it, if he were truly in that situation, what could he rely on to defeat the man in sunglasses He had the most advanced tech team in the world as well as a hacking squad capable of breaking into any network. But what did this man have Unlimited terrifying intellect and strategies, along with an abyssal darkness!
He believed that this man probably already saw through him long ago, but Su Tianran himself could not see how many more cards the man had in store. This would be an unfair battle.
It was just like that time at Las Vegas' Flamingo Hotel, where each floor from fifteen to twenty-two held extremely strong opponents setting traps for Wang Zheng. Su Tianran believed that among all these experts and famous figures, no one had the ability to gather them together and make them fight for a single person. Yet this man in sunglasses managed it! Each time he thought of this, Su Tianran felt his entire body go cold.
Long ago, Su Tianran believed that if things progressed further, the man in sunglasses would become a super tycoon who could shock the whole world!
And where will I be by then
"So, you've come to see me as a threat" The sunglasses guy gave a faint smile.
"How did you know" Su Tianran didn't deny it. At their level, there was no need to put up pretenses anymore.
"I could sense your murderous intent in your eyes, even though you were smiling." The sunglasses guy mockingly pointed at his glasses and said: "As you can see, this is the advantage of wearing sunglasses—no matter what my true emotions are, others can't tell."
Su Tianran didn't argue back. Instead, he turned to continue admiring Hong Kong's enchanting night view, his voice calm: "In my memory, you don't seem like someone with a sense of humor. I can't quite put my finger on which one is your facade."
"Indeed, which one is my true self" The sunglasses guy took off his glasses and gazed at the starry sky: "Even I myself am not clear about it."
Su Tianran's body trembled as he looked at this man who had taken off his glasses. He stared at that face, once so familiar yet now so strange!
Living in society and under the pressure of survival, people inevitably wear many masks and put up various facades. Sometimes, when you've worn a mask for too long, it becomes impossible to take off, even for yourself—it's hard to distinguish between your real self and your masked self.
You may call this hypocrisy, but in the eyes of many, such behavior has another name—growth.
"Let's not talk about this then, it's a bit heavy." Su Tianran smiled slightly: "I think you should give me a hint or two; otherwise, I'll be very anxious."
"Alright then," the sunglasses guy smiled back, and without warning, his left hand began to twirl a knife. The cold blade reflected starlight.
Once again, Su Tianran was amazed. He couldn't imagine how one person could wield a knife so skillfully; that dagger seemed to dance on the tip of his fingers!
Su Tianran believed that if he were to play with a knife like this, it wouldn't take more than a minute for all five of his fingers to be sliced off!
This person seemed to have an endless supply of tricks up their sleeve! Over the years, how many impossible feats had he accomplished Su Tianran felt even colder in his heart at this realization.
"I personally may not have any good solutions, but the best weapon on Earth that can restrict individuals is —— the state." The sunglasses guy's lips curved into a cold smile that was totally out of place for his face: "If one country isn't enough, then there will be many countries together."
The State!
Su Tianran’s body trembled again. He suppressed his shock and took a deep breath.
Bringing personal grudges into conflicts between states was something Su Tianran never thought he could ever do!ng we've got."“No, I don't think like that.” Wang Zheng smiled slightly. “You guys can hit me as hard as you want; I won’t retaliate.”After saying this, Johansen found his legs suddenly numb and unabl...
