Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

After sending Ning Tao away, Li Yu turned his head and looked at Xiao En who was watching the whole process.

"It's weird why I'm doing this?"

Sean looked at the small hotel that looked like a cage, and said, "I didn't expect you to be honest and trustworthy, even if you were facing a heinous person."

Li Yu smiled and said: "Indeed, Ning Tao is heinous. Based on what he did on [Dui 4399], it is enough to be sentenced to ten times of death and 200 years in prison. For such a scum, I don't care even if I break my promise once in a while, [Baiyin] The reputation of the Knights is not earned by being stubborn."

Sean added: "And the foundation of the [Silver Knights] is in the deserted area. People here should not be happy to see you let go of a villain from the Qiankun Group."

Li Yu was a little surprised and said: "Unexpectedly, you have already gained an essential understanding of the [Silver Knights] just after you joined. It is true that I can tear up the agreement regardless of the eyes of my colleagues, but I must consider the hearts of the people in the deserted area. And I I believe no matter how the polls are done, at least 90% of the people support Ning Tao's death penalty. But I let him go anyway, do you know why?"

Sean really couldn't understand Li Yu's logic.

"Because number one, public opinion polls can never fully reflect the truth. It is true that 90% of the people here support Ning Tao's death penalty, but if I decide to let Ning Tao go, at least half of the people will reverse their positions on the spot and stand on my side. .They will trust me more than they trust themselves."

Li Yu's strong self-confidence made Xiao En speechless.

Perhaps in this deserted area, Li Yu does have such appeal, even if he refers to the Hutt people as wild chickens, people will support him without hesitation.

"Second, it is more beneficial for us to let Ning Tao go. Although killing him can please the people and pocket 23 million cash, letting him go will let the entire galaxy know that [Silver Knights] can help those People who want to escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

Sean couldn't help frowning when he heard that, what's more beneficial? And what is a person who wants to get rid of the sea of ​​suffering? ! It's like how wronged Ning Tao is!

Li Yu saw Xiao En's question and said: "The perpetrator may not be able to also be the victim at the same time. Ning Tao is indeed heinous, but he is also just a link in the long chain of persecution. Those who are born rich and powerful can regard him as a He was sent away like a running dog, and this is because he has already served as the director of the branch. Before that, he had suffered a lot."

Sean couldn't help but asked, "Are you apologizing for him?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Li Yu said, "It is impossible for any corrupt organization not to hurt its own people, and this is the reason why most corrupt organizations eventually collapse - even the insiders cannot bear the corruption I can't wait to overthrow it. There are countless people in the Qiankun Group who are in a similar situation to Ning Tao. If there is a chance to give the old club a backstab and then escape, I believe many people will be tempted. And the more tempted people are The more, the closer the organization is to collapse."

Xiao En was silent for a while, and said, "Your ambition is to overthrow the Qiankun Group?"

Li Yu laughed: "I'm sorry that I got off topic. The correct way to say it is that the more people who are tempted, the more people will come to me for business. Compared with the immeasurable long-term benefits of 23 million short-term benefits , I value the latter more. That's all."

Xiao En is very suspicious that Li Yu is not telling the truth, or rather, overthrowing the Qiankun Group may be more important to Li Yu than the so-called long-term benefits.

But obviously the other party didn't want to start this topic anymore.

"Okay, it's rare to complete a arduous task, go back and rest, there are even more arduous tasks waiting for you."

——

that night.

Ning Tao in the small hotel was tossing and turning, his obese body was twisting on the simple bed, and the sharp creaking sound of the deformation of the bed board was constantly being squeezed out.

Although in the evening, he carefully asked the hotel staff to bring a few sleeping pills, but he didn't know whether the level of medicine in the deserted area was too backward, or he was too preoccupied. Until late at night, Ning Tao couldn't feel it at all. until drowsiness falls.

Only the dryness of his eyes and the constant pressure from his heart made Ning Tao clearly aware that he was in a state of mental exhaustion and severe lack of sleep.

Escaping in a spaceship under such circumstances will undoubtedly pose a great safety hazard... However, the premise is that he really has the opportunity to escape in a spaceship.

Ning Tao still couldn't believe that Li Yu would let him go so easily. No matter from which angle he thought about it, Ning Tao was now like a wild chicken on the slaughtering line.

Under the erosion of fear, as long as Ning Tao closes his eyes, various sad pictures will always appear in his mind unconsciously: he sees innocent people being driven to their deaths in the boundless wilderness by the blaster guns Fleeing; unarmed civilians were driven to fight with [Buhar giant scorpion]; wounded people were tied up on the test bench and tortured by highly poisonous drugs...

These are all tragedies that actually happened on [Dui 4399], but in the images in Ning Tao's mind, the faces of the victims were all replaced by himself!

Finally, after "witnessing" the tragic death of himself falling off the cliff again, Ning Tao couldn't help but turned over and opened his eyes.

He had completely given up on falling asleep.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, Ning Tao felt a biting chill spread from the top of his head to his whole body.

In front of the bed, I don't know when there is a person standing.

After a moment of sluggishness, Ning Tao finally had the reaction of fear. He wanted to shout, but found that his throat could no longer make a sound. He wanted to retreat, but his muscles were already weak.

He can only lie on the bed, waiting for the bad luck to come.

However, unexpectedly, the person in front of the bed did not kill him, but took two steps back, and then took the initiative to light up the dim light by the bed.

Then Ning Tao narrowed his eyes and saw the man's face clearly: it was a very familiar young face, a rookie from [Silver]'s ace team.

"Sean?" Ning Tao recalled.

"Good evening, Director Ning." Sean said in a cold tone, "I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party's late-night visit was not to kill him, so he nodded quickly: "Excuse me."

Xiao En said, "Do you know Xia Yan?"

Ning Tao was taken aback again, how could he not know him, he was the chief of Qiankun Security and Ning Tao's immediate boss.

"So, do you know what conflicts he has with the Nan family?"

Ning Tao was stunned for a longer time this time, because he had no idea what Xiao En was asking.

Sean didn't urge him, but just stood quietly in front of the bed, waiting for Ning Tao to answer the question.

At this time, the night is dark, and there is still a lot of time that belongs to him. Therefore, instead of impatiently pressing for an incomplete and untrue answer, it is better to give Ning Tao a little more time to think clearly before answering.

After all, there will never be a second chance for such a dialogue.
