"Ah? The existence of the elixir of life is the top secret that our Qianmian Group strives to keep. We have never disclosed any information to the outside world. Even within our Qianmian Group, there are only a handful of people who know this secret.
And they are all trustworthy people.”
"I didn't tell you this secret until the action team was fully formed and before departure. How did you know about the existence of the elixir in advance?" Qian Mengdie asked in great surprise.
Feng Yuchen laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Miss Qian, haven't you heard a saying? The so-called loyalty is just because the bargaining chip for betrayal is not enough. A priceless treasure like the elixir of life is a bargaining chip that is enough to destroy all loyalty! So
Say, those people you said were trustworthy also chose to betray you in the face of this priceless treasure! And it was from people like this that we learned the secret of the elixir in advance!"
"What? Who are you talking about? Who betrayed me?" Qian Mengdie asked with an ugly face.
Feng Yuchen said with a smile: "Don't worry, that person is here too and will come out to meet you soon. When you see him, you will know who he is!"
As the words fell, a group of people suddenly walked out from the road they had entered the village on.
The number of these people is more than thirty.
Everyone looks powerful and has an extraordinary temperament.
Even Qian Mengdie could tell at a glance that these people must all be top masters!
In terms of strength, they are probably all above the members of her action team.
To her, these people are all strangers.
Except for one person.
When she saw this person in the crowd, her beautiful eyes immediately widened with an expression of extreme shock and surprise.
"Uncle Kang, why are you? Why are you here?"
The Uncle Kang in front of me is the first vice president of Qianmian Group, Kang Shuo.
Kang Shuo is the veteran of Qianmian Group.
I started from scratch with Qian Zhi, and we stayed together through thick and thin in the process of starting a business, and made great contributions to building what we are today.
Therefore, Kang Shuo is not only the first vice president of the group, but also Qian Zhi's most trusted subordinate.
His relationship with Qianjia's mother and daughter is also very deep.
Not a family, but better than a family.
He is also very good to Qianmengdie.
Treat her like your own daughter.
Qian Mengdie was also extremely close to and respected him.
But why does he appear here?
Or at this moment, appearing here with such a group of strangers?
And connect his unexpected appearance at this time with what Feng Yuchen said just now.
The answer seems self-evident.
But Qian Mengdie really didn't want to believe or accept this answer.
However, the reality is often cruel.
Facing Qian Mengdie's inquiry, a trace of shame flashed across Kang Shuo's face, but he still said: "Mengdie, don't worry, what Mr. Feng wants is just the elixir of life, he will not hurt you."
"What?"
Thousands of dreamy butterflies are like being killed by thunder.
Her delicate body staggered violently and almost fell down.
Ye Ming reached out in time to support her.
Qian Mengdie held Ye Ming's arm tightly with her hands.
Looking up at Kang Shuo, he asked with great sadness: "Why? Uncle Kang, why are you doing this? Do you have something to hide? Are they forcing you?"
Kang Shuo shook his head: "No! There is no unspeakable secret, and no one is forcing me! As for the reason, didn't Master Feng tell me all about it?"
"This elixir of life is so precious, much more valuable than the entire Qianmian Group. Faced with such a priceless treasure, no one can resist its temptation. Including me."
"It is precisely because this elixir of life is so precious that the Qianmian Group alone cannot protect it."
"As soon as the news spreads, Qianmian Group will immediately become the target of public criticism."
"The final outcome is that you can only be forced to hand over the medicine to protect yourself, or you can be destroyed and take the medicine away!"
"Facing this inevitable result, the choice I make now is the wisest!"
"With Mr. Feng as my backer, I no longer have any worries, but I can also enjoy the benefits of this elixir of life. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
"More importantly, it can buy me the opportunity to become a warrior!"
"Actually, it would be great to be able to live forever. However, if there is no strong strength to support it, you will also die."
"For example, death from illness, car accident, being killed...etc.!"
"As a warrior, you have a powerful ability to protect yourself! It is also easy to make money. Plus, you can live forever! This is three birds with one stone!"
"Mengdie, if I were replaced by you, in this situation, you would definitely make the same choice as me, right?"
"But, Mengdie, don't worry, Master Feng promised me that as long as we help him find the elixir of life, he can use this medicine to cure your mother's illness. And you, mother and daughter, can take refuge with Master Feng in the future.
"
"With Master Feng's support, from now on, neither you, mother and daughter, nor the Qianmian Group can walk sideways in Xiangsha, and no one will dare to offend you!"
"Actually, Mr. Feng still likes you quite a lot. Otherwise, after he had learned the secret of the elixir of life and obtained the complete map, he would have taken people into the mountains to search for the elixir. But he
I am still willing to accompany you and wait until today before setting off with you to go into the mountains to find medicine."
Kang Shuo's remarks completely shattered the last illusion in Qian Mengdie's heart.
It turns out that Kang Shuo really chose to betray simply because he was driven by profit.
Faced with the betrayal of the person she trusted the most, Qian Mengdie felt extremely sad.
His lips were trembling and he couldn't speak.
Feng Yuchen looked at Qianmengdie affectionately and said: "Mengdie, Mr. Kang is right. The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you at first sight. I vowed to get you and protect you! Why?
Therefore, I will not hesitate to postpone the search for medicine and accompany you to choose someone, doing something that seems very childish at first glance!"
"When you pick people like you do, what you end up with is just a group of stragglers. You see, people like Mr. Kang will choose to betray you. Let alone a group of mercenaries? Once the elixir of life is found, what do you think of those people?
Are you willing to let go of such a priceless treasure? You don't really think that you can restrain them with that ridiculous contract, do you?"
"In fact, they may not only want to seize the treasure, but also want to hurt you. Faced with their harm, do you think you have the ability to resist?"
