The company resumes normal operations.

Chen Dong did not wait for Xiao Ma and others, but walked to the office calmly.

Zhuge Qing hesitated for a moment and followed closely, but when he reached the door, he said a few words to Chen Dong and then stood alone at the door.

Mr. Long looked at Chen Dong deeply, with such calmness and composure that even he was shocked and speechless.

"The young master personally pushed himself to the forefront of the storm, and now he personally pushes himself into the abyss. If... he can really climb out of the abyss again this time, Xinchen may be able to win a battle!"

This is what Long Lao has in mind.

Watching Chen Dong's back enter the office, his expression gradually became complicated, his eyes were even more uncertain, and he fell into a trance.

"Mr. Long..."

Chu Jianjia noticed something strange about Mr. Long and called out softly.

"Um?"

Mr. Long came back to his senses and smiled: "At that moment, I felt that the master was standing in front of me. The young master's back looked so much like the master in his youth..."

Chu Jianjia's eyes flickered, she looked up at the closed office door, her lips pursed.

"Mr. Chen is just like the head of the Chen family. It's normal."

"no the same."

Mr. Long smiled noncommittally, his eyes turned red as he smiled, and murmured: "He is much braver than the old master back then!"

He knew what Chen Dong was thinking.

As a slave of Chen Daolin's family, he was the first person to come to Chen Dong's side. His relationship with Chen Dong had already been that of a teacher and a friend. Although they were not related by blood, they were better than blood.

He knows Chen Dong’s secret!

That was what Chen Dong told him personally!

The separation was too painful, but Chen Daolin did it back then and protected Chen Dong's mother and son.

Everything Chen Dong has done now has been avoided and hidden from everyone, but Mr. Long knows that now Chen Dong has pushed himself to the forefront of the storm with one hand, and has plunged himself into the abyss with the other hand. All he wants is that Chen Dong cried to him back then.

The worry of the time - mother and son are safe!

Chen Dong listened to his advice that night, so he refused to make a break and kept guarding her desperately.

It's easy to say goodbye to others, one thought is indifferent, one thought is heart-death, one word means to say goodbye to others, and there is no worry.

But he is unwilling to make a break, is willing to put on armor, risk everything, even if he falls into the abyss, he will not move forward to protect the wife and children he wants to protect. This kind of courage is even worse than that of Chen Daolin back then!

Unfortunately, Mr. Long now feels a little regretful.

He regretted that he had advised Chen Dong to think twice. If he had broken off the relationship in time, how could Chen Dong be wearing armor and covered with wounds now?

Breaking away from others is the best solution!

But it's not the most satisfactory solution.

"More brave than Master Chen?"

Chu Jianjia looked at the closed office door with deep eyes, and her eyes gradually moved to the glass window of the office.

She saw Chen Dong sitting alone in the office.

Chen Dong was sitting at his desk, holding a cigarette in his right hand, with smoke still lingering in his mouth and nose, his brows furrowed, and his whole person gave people a feeling of vicissitudes of life and depression.

What's even more piercing is the loneliness that hits you...

"Mr. Long, why do I suddenly look at Mr. Chen and feel that he is very lonely!"

Chu Jianjia looked dazed and blurted out.

"Loneliness? It's loneliness. He is burdened with too much, which makes people feel distressed. He is going through the thorns alone."

Mr. Long's eyes turned red and he felt heartbroken and said distressedly: "What he wants is just not to become the person he hates the most!"

Chu Jianjia looked at Mr. Long in confusion.

But Mr. Long was minding his own business pushing the wheelchair towards the office.

Chu Jianjia immediately wanted to step forward to help.

Elder Long said in a deep voice: "Jianjia, you and Zhuge Qing will wait outside first."

Chu Jianjia immediately stopped and looked confused.

Zhuge Qing, who was at the door, also heard this and was also confused.

Mr. Long opened the office door without knocking.

In the office, Chen Dong did not respond. He leaned on the chair with empty eyes, seeming to be deep in thought or in a daze.

Click!

Mr. Long closed the door and pulled up the curtains.

With the curtains lowered, the office not only isolates the sounds from outside, but also blocks the sight of the outside.

"Master..."

Mr. Long's red eyes were full of tears and full of heartache.

"Mr. Long, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Dong came back to his senses and looked at Mr. Long.

Mr. Long had tears in his eyes: "Is everything you do now just to keep giving up?"

"OK."

Chen Dong glanced sideways at the cigarette in his hand, hurriedly fanned the smoke away with his left hand, then put out the cigarette butt, and smiled casually: "I'm sorry, it made the office full of smoke."

Mr. Long shook his head: "You are suddenly full of smoke and alcohol, but you don't have to be so tired. If it doesn't work, you can follow the master's method!"

However.

Chen Dong's body trembled, he lost consciousness for a moment, and said with a lonely and bitter smile: "But do you know? How painful it is for a wife without a husband, and how helpless a child without a father is. I gave everything I had, even if I cut out the flesh and the heart,

Falling into the eighteenth level of hell, I don’t want my wife or my children to go through what my mother and I went through again, those days of darkness and lack of light but gritting one’s teeth and running towards the light, it’s so miserable!”

"Master..."

Elder Long's lips trembled, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, running down the ravines on his face.

Chen Dong's eyes suddenly turned red. He was indifferent and calm just now. Now, with the words of Mr. Long, his defense was directly broken. His facial features were trembling and his breathing became rapid.

"Give me a chance. I will definitely protect Xiaoying and the baby. I won't be like my father. If I win this bet, Xin Chenqi will return to the world. I don't have to give up. If I lose the bet..."

After a pause, Chen Dong leaned back on the chair, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes: "As a husband and a father, I would rather die. I wish her and her children to be rich and safe!"

The determination to die seems to be turning into reality.

While Mr. Long was in a daze, he felt that Chen Dong's words were like a thunderous explosion, and he was completely confused.

There was silence in the office for a long time.

Chen Dong and Long Lao's suddenly broken emotions also gradually calmed down with each other in silence as time went by.

Chen Dong and Mr. Long looked at each other with determination.

"Let them in."

Chen Dong smiled slightly: "We should inform them about the news so that Xiaoma and the others can be mentally prepared."

Only then did Mr. Long open the door.

Chu Jianjia and Zhuge Qing walked into the office first.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ma and a group of Dingtai's middle and senior managers also walked in.

"Brother Dong, everyone is working hard and all projects are advancing."

Xiao Ma's eyes were blazing, and his whole person was completely different from the depressed state just now: "This time, Brother Dong will definitely be able to lead us to glory like before!"

It was almost paranoid superstition, but when the words came out, many middle and high-level people nodded in agreement.

They are old employees who have worked hard in Dingtai step by step. They also know Chen Dong's character well. Their current choice is the same as when Chen Dong acquired Dingtai.

However.

Chen Dong gently clicked on the news on his computer about Dingtai being sprayed with blood-red paint at the gate of the building last night, then turned the computer screen to face the pony crowd and smiled sadly.
