Chapter 16 Choosing a Wood to Live
I saw the man laughing so hard that the veins in his neck protruded, and he struggled desperately with the hand held by Shen Xian.
"If it weren't for you, why would I, Peng Fei, be in this situation today! Gu Chen, you won't forget, right? Who was so unkind and refused to give me a chance three years ago? Do you think you would be in this position after sending me in? Can you sit still? I can't even find a decent job now, it's all because of you, it's all because of you!"
The man named Peng Fei roared at Gu Chen and struggled forward. During the struggle, his hat fell to the ground, revealing his short hair that was cut into a square inch.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the out-of-control young man in front of him, and seemed to have some impressions.
When Shen Xian was almost unable to restrain this person, the security guards in the parking lot rushed over after hearing the sound. After looking at the situation in front of them, they roughly understood what was going on. Two security guards came over to take over from Shen Xian and hold Peng Fei down.
Seeing that his quest for revenge was over, Peng Fei smiled a little sadly, "You will not end well, Gu Chen, you will not end well. Your morality is not worthy of your place. Why do you..."
Gu Chen lazily adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with his hands, leaned forward slightly and stretched out his finger in the air to signal the other party to be silent.
"I, Gu Chen, never do anything against anyone. I hope you can understand the truth - a good bird should choose the right tree to rest on. Instead of using the mistakes made three years ago to build new hatred like you."
Gu Chen said, standing up straight and looking down at the people on the ground, his voice became much sharper.
"This is the last time you appear in front of me, so you can take care of yourself."
While he was speaking, the other person had turned around, turned his face sideways, and looked over his shoulder at the angry and somewhat sad young man.
Shen Xian quietly looked at Gu Chen who was walking away, then looked down at the man who was pressed to the ground. When he was about to follow Gu Chen, someone next to him asked: "Assistant Shen, this person..."
At this time, Shen Xian had already walked around in front of Peng Fei. When she heard the question, she lowered her head and glanced at the man with red eyes being pressed, "Let him go."
Everyone seemed a little surprised, including Peng Fei.
He looked up at the unfamiliar faces in front of him, somewhat disbelieving that Gu Chen would let go of his attacker so easily.
"I don't know what happened to you three years ago, but since the law has not let you go, you must have done something beyond the boundaries of the law. If Mr. Gu doesn't hold you accountable this time, it doesn't mean you can use this method To retaliate, if he hands you over to the police, what do you think will happen to you? There will be one more person on the record who intentionally hurts someone?"
Having said this, the angry and resentful look on Peng Fei's face changed obviously and became a little more panicked.
Shen Xian has studied criminal psychology. People like Peng Fei are obviously the kind of people who care about their own future. After a loss in the middle, they feel that their life is ruined, and they are bound to not want to add to their disgraceful experience. One stroke.
"Start over and be a good person."
When Shen Xian saw Peng Fei's moved expression, he knew that he was not determined to fight to the death with Gu Chen. Perhaps he was just impulsive due to frustrations in life when he first came out.
At this point in her admonishment, she felt that she had said enough.
Within a few words, Gu Chenren had already arrived at the elevator entrance. The elevator was going down, and Shen Xian hurriedly ran two steps to catch up.
Gu Chen heard the sound of running and looked over. His expression was as usual. The lenses reflected a beam of light under the lights in the elevator hall. Shen Xian could not see his eyes clearly. Behind him, Peng Fei had been led out of the parking lot by security guards.
When Shen Xian trotted to the elevator hall, the elevator arrived just in time, and Gu Chen walked into the elevator first with long legs.
Shen Xian followed obediently. She now carried her card with her when she went out. She swiped the card skillfully and pressed the number for the thirty-fifth floor.
"Mr. Gu, are you okay?"
Although Shen Xian couldn't see any emotion when looking at Gu Chen, he could vaguely feel the low pressure surrounding him.
"fine."
Gu Chen supported his arm with one hand and took off his glasses with the other hand to rub the corners of his eyes. When he heard Shen Xian's words, he replied with two words in a low voice.
After a while, he put on his glasses and turned around to look at Shen Xian and said, "You?"
After receiving Gu Chen's answer, Shen Xian didn't dare to stare at him anymore. Hearing the inexplicable word "you", he didn't react for a while.
"ah?"
She asked back in a low voice, her eyes met Gu Chen's appraising eyes and she immediately reacted and said quickly: "I'm fine too."
After saying that, he smiled "haha" without moving the corner of his mouth, intending to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Gu Chen has withdrawn his gaze, but Shen Xian has other plans in mind. Isn't this a good opportunity?
"Mr. Gu..."
"Um."
Gu Chen didn't seem to be looking forward to Shen Xian's next words. He turned his phone with one hand, stared at the changing numbers on the elevator, and said "hmm" casually.
Shen Xian hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Did a lot of things happen three years ago?"
Gu Chen stopped turning the phone, but did not look at Shen Xian. He lowered his head slightly and looked at his feet, then raised his head and stared at the screen.
"Um."
He still responded to Shen Xian's question with the simplest words, without any intention of saying more.
The elevator became quiet again. Shen Xian's hand shook and unclenched behind him. Gu Chen's brief response did not give her any information.
But it was obvious that Gu Chen didn't want to discuss this issue in depth. And as an assistant, it didn't seem appropriate for her to pursue the question further.
"I didn't ask the security to call the police and let them take the person out."
Shen Xian felt that he had probably understood what Gu Chen meant. He was letting the man do what he wanted, or maybe he wanted to leave some room for the man named Peng Fei, right?
After all, no one wants to be sent back in after just coming out. Although neither she nor Gu Chen was injured, it is not impossible if Gu Chen really wants to pursue the case.
But it would be better to confirm the final result with Gu Chen, just in case...
What if she got it wrong?
"Well, you did a good job." As he spoke, the elevator had already reached the thirty-fifth floor.
Gu Chen didn't look back, leaving these words and walked out of the elevator.
Shen Xian looked at his steady steps and tall posture, as if he was not affected in any way by the little incident that happened in the basement just now.
But what about that slightly deep voice and expression just now?
Without thinking too much, Shen Xian also walked back to the office.
When Shen Xian returned to the office, he began to search the Internet for news from a few years ago. Sure enough, he saw a piece of news about an employee of Shenfei Group embezzling public funds.
The person involved was coded, but it was vaguely identifiable as the person who appeared in the underground parking lot today.
