The so-called "seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence" is the truth behind Cao Cao and Cao Cao.
When I left Zhansha County earlier, Ren Zhong had this thought in mind and felt a little regretful.
However, less than an hour later, his regret was made up for on the spot and replaced by a new one.
Time goes back to noon that day.
The Ma family father and daughter were eating lunch separately at the dining table.
The atmosphere at the table was dull and depressing, and the air pressure was extremely low.
Ma Dafu looked worried.
Just two days later, there were a few scratch-like wrinkles on his originally round and rosy face, and a few more silver threads appeared on the top of his head.
Lao Ma was injected with anti-aging medicine on time, and this sudden change must be related to the disillusionment of the dream he had placed on Ren Zhong.
The old horse was defeated.
He had not had an easy time these past two days.
At the arms mall, due to the heavy responsibilities, Ju Qingmeng was regarded as one of Lao Ma's own, so he did not cause any trouble to him and still maintained the position.
But citizens in supply and marketing cooperatives, canteens, grain production bases, logistics networks and other fields have begun to become restless.
Some of these miscellaneous people began to plan their future lives in advance, packed up their belongings, prepared to run away, and spread panic at the same time.
Some people even deliberately stir up trouble in the town, buy their lives with money, and choose good-looking men and women among this group of desolate people who are destined to die to satisfy their perverted tendencies that they usually suppress.
In order to maintain the final peace of Spark Town, Ma Dafu had to coordinate and deal with various chores, which was so busy that he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Once he had some free time, Lao Ma couldn't help but think back to those days.
He recalled that when his father handed over Xinghuo Town to his hands before his death, he had repeatedly warned him to maintain Xinghuo Town well.
He agreed, and even patted his chest and promised to restore Spark Town to its former glory as an unknown city.
But he didn't expect that now, nearly twenty years later, looking back on the past and waiting for his ending would be a complete failure.
In the confrontation with Yang Bingzhong, his lifelong enemy, he suffered a complete defeat.
In the sixteen years since Yang Bingzhong became the actual controller of Xinghuo Resources, Xinghuo Town has been deteriorating. All industries have continued to shrink, and the annual GDP has continued to decline. The number of temporary homeless people in the town has been declining year by year, from 40,000 to 40,000 20 years ago. The number of people has now dropped to less than 20,000, and it will even be banned directly this year.
Yang Bingzhong, who had made a huge fortune by scraping the ground and sucked up the last drop of blood in Xinghuo Town, patted his butt and walked away in style, going to the prosperous area of Chromium Carbon Town to continue his career, leaving only a pile of chicken feathers in Xinghuo Town.
The last hope he had finally found was a heavy responsibility, and he betrayed his trust without any reason and became Yang Bingzhong's lackey.
I'm so stupid!
Ma Dafu was completely engulfed in frustration and was a little distracted at the dinner table. He didn't move his chopsticks for several seconds.
Ma Xiaoling became more and more angry as he watched.
Bang!
She slammed the table, "No! Dad! You have to grant me a holiday, and I have to go find him. He has to explain it to me! I really don't want to care about what other reasons or back-ups he has. He is straightforward. Tell us what's wrong? I can't stand him treating you like this. I even suspect that you were deceived by him. He had no intention of doing anything for Spark Town. He was just playing tricks on you from beginning to end. I'm even playing tricks on Ju Qingmeng!"
Ma Dafu seemed a little shaken, but shook his head firmly, "No. He is also a citizen now. The most you can do is beat him up, but you can't really do anything to him. It will only intensify the conflict between you and Yang Bingzhong. .I heard that Yang Bingzhong suddenly became wealthy and powerful after arriving in Chromium Carbon Town. I have been fighting with Yang Bingzhong for most of my life, and if I lose, I lose. I can’t live for a few more years, and everything will disappear after death. But you are different, you You are still young. You can become a level five professional at any time. You can go back to the county or even have the opportunity to go to the city. You still have a bright future."
Ma Xiaoling frowned, "Dad, is this why you hid everything from me before?"
Ma Dafu nodded, "One of the reasons."
"What else?"
Ma Dafu is really hard to explain clearly.
Ma Xiaoling, you are simply a foolhardy walking spokesperson. Do I dare to say too much to you?
Ma Xiaoling rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted: "What happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"Calculating it all, I lent Ren Zhong a total of 250,000 points after tax. According to the loan contract, he should repay me 400,000 points after tax twenty days ago. But there have been a lot of things recently, and I am young.
I made a huge fortune and forgot about it."
Madafu looked at his daughter silently.
He was quite speechless.
Of course, he was present when Ren Zhong borrowed money for the second time and knew about it.
But he himself was too busy to forget it.
"Okay, dad, please give me a vacation quickly, and I will go to him and ask for money. How can there be such a reason? He deceived my feelings and defrauded me of money. This is too scumbag. Don't even think about walking away."
"No!" Unexpectedly, Lao Ma refused.
Ma Xiaoling stared, "Dad, have you really been brainwashed by him? He has deceived you into this, and you are still thinking about him? Please give me an explanation!"
Ma Dafu actually had nothing to explain, so he just waved his hand and walked out of the room quickly, heading to the office.
At this moment, he was a little bored.
He thought it was meaningless.
Going to Ren Zhong to settle accounts is just to satisfy his own personal grudges and cannot change the status quo.
There was an undercurrent surging in the town now, and he didn't want his daughter, the captain of the guard, to leave.
However, by the afternoon, Ma Xiaoling still thought of a way.
She bypassed the restrictions of Madafu, her immediate boss and father, and obtained a vacation order from the business association by pursuing her personal demands for an extension of the creditor's rights contract. At the same time, she also received a timely positioning notification as a creditor.
She was given the right to leave Spark Town briefly and legally pursue Ren Zhong.
Now, she can do anything to Ren Zhong except kill him.
According to the laws of the Origin Star, if Ren Zhong is assessed as having no ability to repay, she can even swallow up Ren Zhong's citizen credits with a citizenship level of three, making Ren Zhong her legal slave, and making Ren Zhong a member of the government during the probation period.
citizen.
Of course, there will also be an evaluation of her contract priority and Yang Bingzhong's ten-year contract priority.
If it really comes to that point, if nothing unexpected happens, Yang Bingzhong will help Ren Zhong settle the debt easily.
In addition, with the wealth Ren Zhong now has in her pocket, she does not need to collect debts. She only needs to make a phone call and send a text message, and Ren Zhong will definitely pay back the money immediately.
But this is not what Ma Xiaoling wants.
So, at seven o'clock in the afternoon, after receiving the transfer order, she immediately hit "flying" and went straight to Chrome Carbon Town, just in time to block Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong could not escape after all.
The improved armored transport vehicle didn't obey his orders at all and still landed smoothly.
During this process, a beep sounded from Ren Zhong's watch.
"Ma Xiaoling, a third-level citizen, has initiated legal proceedings for debt recovery against you. After evaluation, it has been found that the two parties do have a legal debt relationship, and the other party's citizenship level is higher than yours. Your vehicle has been taken over."
"Special reminder from the Yuanxing Business Association: Citizens' lives are protected by the highest law, and your life will not be in danger."
"Special reminder two: Integrity is the foundation of business. Please take the creditor-rights relationship seriously, otherwise you will have your credit points cleared and be downgraded to a reserve citizen or even a deserter."
The moment Ren Zhong listened to the prompt, the car door opened with a pop.
The two looked at each other through the window into a close look.
"Hi~~"
Ren Zhong raised his hand and waved it weakly. "Good evening, Teacher Ma. Are you coming to me to pay back the money?"
Ma Xiaoling put her hands on her hips and said, "No, come down here."
Ren Zhong jumped out of the car, his feet felt weak, and he swayed before regaining his balance.
At the same time, the robotic arm from the rear of the escort vehicle stretched out and lifted a large box, which contained neatly stacked exoskeleton armors.
Ma Xiaoling pointed at the equipment box and said, "Put it on and then have a fight with me."
Ren Zhongzhi waved his hand, "Don't be kidding me. I just got out of the VIP area of the training ground in Zhansha County. Look at what I look like now, can I fight?"
Ma Xiaoling said with a cruel smile: "Isn't this just right? It will make it easier for me to 'accidentally' kill you, right?"
"This joke is not funny."
"Then let me change my request. Come back to Spark Town with me, explain everything clearly to my dad, and give me an explanation that can convince me."
Ren Zhong continued to shake his head, lowered his voice, and covered his mouth, "The time is not yet ripe."
"Mature you balls!"
The next second, Ma Xiaoling, who was completely angered again, punched Ren Zhong in the chest.
Ren Zhong was smashed to pieces by this punch, flew backwards far away, and hit the wall of the villa hard.
Bang!
The spear reached his face again.
"Give you one last chance, come back to Xinghuo Town with me. Otherwise, I will cut off your hand tendons and hamstrings. Although it can be cured, it will be painful for you. I am not afraid of offending Yang Bingzhong! Don't you want to be a successful person? I call you
If you can't get off the ground, let's see how you rise to the top."
Ma Xiaoling's pupils shrank sharply, and the spear advanced one step further, but finally stopped.
The distance between the spear and Ren Zhong's forehead was only one centimeter.
It took Ren Zhong five minutes to resolve the crisis.
He slowly raised his hand, covered his mouth again, and lowered his voice: "I plan to defeat the cold-blooded butcher in the census assessment."
Ma Xiaoling: "That's impossible!"
"Two months ago, who could believe that I could kill Lin Wang? If I told you then, would you also think it was impossible?"
Ma Xiaoling: "..."
"Do you know who I chose for training in the VIP training ground today? A fifth-level colonial warrior, a strength type. I don't know if Mayor Ma has told you, but the person in charge of the combat assessment of the people in Starfire Town is...
He is a fifth-level armored warrior nicknamed the Cold-Blooded Butcher. That’s why I’m so tired now.”
Ma Xiaoling: "..."
After a long time, she finally put away the gun, sat cross-legged next to Ren Zhong, and said quietly: "I have heard of this man. He is very strong, beyond imagination. And this man is very bloodthirsty, and his men never leave anyone alive. Although
You are already a citizen, but once you choose to represent the Temporary Desert people in the census assessment, you will lose the protection of your citizenship in the arena. The cold-blooded butcher can kill you at will. You have no need and no hope. This
unreasonable."
Ren Zhong shrugged and stared at Ma Xiaoling with affectionate eyes, his lips trembling slightly, "Do you think I'm lying?"
Ma Xiaoling turned away and muttered in a low voice, "I can't see through you. I don't know. I've been lied to by you too many times. You always like to lie to people, and you lie to everyone. I just asked, you are in Chrome Carbon
The new character in the town is the strongest level three professional. You can cheat wherever you go."
Ren Zhong gently shook her hand and said, "Teacher Ma, have you made money from stock trading?"
"I made a profit. You didn't lie to me about this."
Ma Xiaoling lowered his head slightly.
Ren Zhong leaned into her ear and said softly: "The purpose of setting up the strongest level three professional persona is to gain time freedom so that Yang Bingzhong can send me to hunt, and then I can race as fast as possible at the training ground in the county.
The speed increases.”
"Then tell me what is the purpose of your death? What are you planning?"
Ren Zhong still said in her ear, "Ma Xiaoling, you and your father are both high-class citizens. You have also seen what citizens in this world are like. Then can you explain why you and your father are different and treat the poor
Are people so sympathetic? Tell me, what are you trying to do?"
"this……"
Ma Xiaoling asked him, and turned to look back at him. Their faces were only less than 0.5 decimeter apart.
At this time, she was quite confused, and she also knew that her father was abnormal.
She has lived with her father since she was a child, and she has always been influenced by his father. She also knows that in the eyes of her classmates, other citizens in the town, and other younger generations of the Ma family, she is strange, unsociable, and unique.
But she never thought about "why".
After all, everyone has quirks. Ma Xiaoling thinks that her and her father's quirks are quite good, and she has no intention of correcting them.
When you see others being pitiful, you can anticipate the disaster that is about to happen to them and feel a little sympathy.
This is both normal and abnormal.
Ma Xiaoling felt that this happened naturally to him.
But others always laugh at her, why do they stupidly regard those tools as the same kind and think she is ridiculous.
Ma Xiaoling couldn't refute. As time went by, she became too lazy to talk to others about this and just kept the matter in her heart.
Ren Zhong smiled, "Actually, I know the answer, but I can't tell you now. Teacher Ma, help me one more time, trust me one more time. Let's do something unreasonable together."
"But I still want to beat you, what should I do?"
"Look at how helpless I am now, can you bear it?"
"Be patient."
"Then you beat me."
"ah?"
"Since you are here, Yang Bingzhong's people must have seen it. It is unjustifiable not to beat me up. It is best to beat me seriously."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. You hurry up and beat me up. We have been chatting for too long. You hurry up and get angry, like a sad woman who was abandoned by a heartless man. The more angry the better. Damn it! But after hurting me, you will have to
Send me to the county seat quickly, and I will return to Xinghuo Town in seven days. I don’t want to waste time, I have to train with high intensity every day. Come on!"
"The responsibility is heavy! You have to be responsible for me!"
Ma Xiaoling jumped up, his fists falling like rain.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Yang Bingzhong received a "help" message from Ren Zhong.
"Mr. Yang, help me! This crazy woman Ma Xiaoling is here to kill me! I lent her money before, but I left in a hurry and forgot to pay it back. Now she has listed me as a defaulting debtor! She can beat me up as she likes! I said so.
Pay her back the money, but she doesn’t want it at all! I will be severely injured now, and I am being dragged to the county seat! She said she would cure me and then beat me, and then treat me after the beating! Mr. Yang, save me!"
Yang Bingzhong on the opposite side couldn't laugh or cry, and personally sent a message to Ma Xiaoling, "Captain Ma, your father and I just have different ideas. Now we have parted ways, why do you bother to persist. Ren Zhong is very important to me now, and I hope you don't go too far.
Already."
Ma Xiaoling replied: "It's none of your business."
Two minutes later, Yang Bingzhong wrote back to Ren Zhong.
"Ren Zhong, you are really great. Ma Xiaoling has a deep love for you and can't let go. But you don't have to be too afraid. She probably won't kill you. Just have fun with her. She will always get tired of it.
"
Ren Zhong: "Ah this..."
Yang Bingzhong seemed to feel that his words were too cold-blooded, so he added.
"In this way, I will use my connections to help you arrange a VIP ward in Zhansha County Hospital. There is the best treatment method in Yuanxing at the moment - the molecular reconstruction device. As long as you don't die, I can treat you until you are as good as ever."
Ren Zhong was "moved to tears", thank you Mr. Yang.
After hanging up the call, a meaningful smile appeared on Yang Bingzhong's lips.
A three-dimensional video from an overhead perspective appeared in front of him.
It was the central surveillance camera of Chrome Carbon Town that photographed the scene in front of Ren Zhong's villa from a high position.
This video has been optically magnified dozens of times, and the expressions on the faces of Ren Zhong and Ma Xiaoling are clearly visible.
Although the video in front of Yang Bingzhong only had images and no sound because he could not obtain the eavesdropping authority of the watch, he still watched the entire performance of Love Saint.
He watched helplessly as Ren Zhong used only a few words to calm down the angry Ma Xiaoling, and then the expression on his face turned from confusion to sadness, and finally from embarrassment to anger.
After Ren Zhong was seriously injured, the expression on her face changed rapidly, sometimes intolerable, sometimes cruel, and simply twisted and crazy.
Finally, she carried the burden into the armed escort vehicle that was returning and flew directly to Zhansha County.
Mr. Yang recalled the psychological analysis lessons he learned in the management course, and was very aware of Ma Xiaoling's current state of love and hatred.
Love can really turn a normal person into a madman.
After listening to Ren Zhong's personal report again, Yang Bingzhong was satisfied.
Before, he was worried about Ren Zhong's reconciliation with the Ma family and his daughter, but now it seems that the hidden danger has been eliminated.
No one can withstand the long period of being injured and healed. The cycle of being injured and healed again is inhuman torture. It is more painful than death.
The conflict between Ren Zhong and the Ma family's father and daughter will only get deeper and deeper.
When Xinghuo Town is officially banned, the Ma family father and daughter, as mayor and guard captain of Xinghuo Town, must return to Liaoyuan County to report on their duties.
Madafu will be forced to retire by then.
Ma Xiaoling, a professional guard captain who enjoys a large amount of resource support from the business association, can only have two months of vacation at most, and then he will have to report to the next duty station.
Then the hard work will come naturally.
…
On the afternoon of the 72nd day, Ren Zhong was lying in the VIP rest area of the Zhansha County training ground receiving treatment while reading the intelligence summary sent by Yu Jin.
Ma Xiaoling also has information from Ma Dafu, but the focus of the two is different.
Yu Jin is a desolate person who comes from the bottom, and he also understands Ren Zhong and what he really wants to focus on.
Yu Jin said that the town has been very chaotic recently and is getting more and more chaotic.
Although supported by Yang Bingzhong's lies, the scavengers who claimed to be able to escape began to go out one after another, trying to find new homes, but none of them returned, and they all disappeared into the sea.
Undercurrents began to surge within Spark Town. More and more people put their only hope in the illusory and non-existent census. They lived in confusion, fear, sensitivity, irritability, and brutal fights on the streets all day long.
The frequency is much higher, and people are dying every day.
In addition, the Mengdu Group's life-saving vehicles are coming more and more frequently, from once a week, one vehicle at a time, to now, once a day, two vehicles at a time.
More and more people are getting on the life-buying bus, and they are getting younger and younger.
Some families smelled the unknown and uneasy atmosphere, and decided to concentrate the family's resources on one person.
Several members of the family gathered together to board the life-buying car, leaving only the youngest one or the one with the best luck in the lottery standing by the roadside waving goodbye to the family members.
One after another, painful cries resounded throughout the sky of Xinghuo Town.
Yu Jin described the scene in brief words, just a few words, but Ren Zhong heard the cry from afar,
…
On the 73rd day, new bad news came from Yang Bingzhong's side.
Ren Zhong was kidnapped.
At the end of the vacation, the extremely perverted Ma Xiaoling ignored the rules and martial ethics and took Ren Zhong back to Xinghuo Town.
Zheng Tian and other team members were worried and took paid transportation back to Xinghuo Town overnight.
Mr. Yang was shocked and angry. He had a quarrel with Ma Dafu on the phone and explicitly threatened Ma Dafu. If something happened to his close general, he would definitely not let Ma Xiaoling go.
Comrade Lao Ma looked at Ren Zhong and his daughter who were drinking tea, chatting, eating grapes and watching stocks. He felt mixed and didn't know what to say.
"Oh, um, I'll wait."
Lao Ma hung up the phone and suddenly laughed again.
Although the two of them had just returned and had not had time to say anything to him, Lao Ma seemed to have become several years younger in an instant.
In short, I was not betrayed.
very nice.
I have lost all my life, but I can win back a victory.
Even though it's futile to win just this much, it can still give me a little bit of relief.
Ma Dafu walked up to Ren Zhong and asked, "What is going on?"
Ma Xiaoling spat out a grape seed and replied: "He wants to participate in the census as a temporary deserter in Xinghuo Town and challenge the cold-blooded butcher."
Ma Dafu touched his forehead and almost fainted.
What the hell is this!
Ren Zhong spread his hands and said, "Old Ma, I lied to you about something. I have always lied to you. I don't have a team, and I haven't been able to find a new settlement for the barren people. This is the truth."
Madafu: "Crazy!"
"But my idea of saving Spark Town is serious. My intention is to help you and Spark Town pass the census. It has never changed."
Ma Dafu really didn't want to pay attention to the heavy responsibility, and just felt that his plans for more than two months had become a joke.
I am really pitifully stupid.
He looked at Ma Xiaoling, "Do you believe it?"
Ma Xiaoling nodded, "I feel like he didn't lie this time."
"Feeling? This is okay?"
Lao Ma also felt that perhaps the root cause of his failure was giving birth to a daughter, Ma Xiaoling.
…
Ren Zhong laughed and was driven out of the town house by Ma Dafu.
He stood on the white wall and looked into the distance, overlooking every bit of Starfire Town.
It's desolate, chaotic, and poverty-stricken.
This place is about to be destroyed.
There are not as rich resources here as in Chromium Carbon Town, nor are there many cutting-edge facilities in Zhansha County that are just around the corner for him to use.
But the subtle thing is that only by standing here can I feel stable in my heart.
He still didn't tell the truth.
This time, he couldn't see the cold-blooded butcher.
Before challenging the cold-blooded butcher, his first challenge was the Demon Infant.
the day after tomorrow.
That is day 75.
He is going to die.
This time it was to die for the sake of dying.
Ren Zhong had a free and easy smile on his face.
This time, he gave up a lot of things and took the initiative to die for people who had nothing to do with him.
he thought.
A person like me would be called a holy mother in the 21st century.
But what does that matter?
Because I am the rice flower on Orange Island, I will always wither in autumn and sprout again in spring!
