One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

The doubts in his heart were almost overwhelming him.

I desperately need to find someone to help me understand.

Qiu'er and Xiao Zizai walked over.

"Is Old Meng preoccupied?"

The quick-witted Qiu'er immediately noticed that something was wrong with Lao Meng.

Old Meng lowered his head and said, "I've thought about it over and over, but I still can't figure out why Chen Duo wanted to kill Lao Liao, and what exactly did Lao Liao do to block Chen Duo's path?"

The little ball's eyes darted around in their sockets:

"If you can't figure it out, just ask someone who can figure it out!"

Old Meng raised his head, his eyes gleaming.

"You mean find the boss?"

Qiu'er nodded: "The boss's relationship with Chen Duo is unusual now, maybe he knows something?"

"Then I'll go find the boss right now!"

Qiu watched Lao Meng's retreating figure, a playful glint in his eyes:

"Brother Xiao, let's go listen together. Maybe the boss really has some unique insights."

A glint flashed in Xiao Zizai's eyes behind his glasses.

"Qiu'er, I originally wanted to kill Chen Duo, but after hearing about her experiences, I felt sorry for her. I couldn't bring myself to do it."

"But I'm also puzzled, why would Chen Duo kill Liao Zhong?"

“We are all temporary workers, and we all have intricate connections with our supervisors. If you asked me to kill my supervisor, I couldn’t do it.”

"I believe Chen Duo is too!"

"But he still killed him in the end. Do you think there's some hidden story we don't know about?"

Qiu'er stroked his chin with one hand, as if deep in thought:

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it either. Perhaps there's more to the story!"

"Ball, let's go listen to what the boss has to say about this!"

"Brother Xiao, do you believe the boss has unique insights?"

"Perhaps, after all, the boss has given me far too many shocks lately!"

Qiu rubbed his hands together: "I'm suddenly starting to look forward to it!"

“Me too!” Black Pipe walked over at some point.

The three walked side by side toward Lin Chen's room.

in the room.

Lin Chen, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao played Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

"Holy crap, Sister Bao'er, we're both ordinary people, why are you bombing me? Brother Chen is the landlord, bomb him!"

"No... Sister Bao'er, you should play a 2 to stop him. Playing a 3 is just handing him the kill."

"Hey, Bao'er, you have a royal flush, why don't you play it?"

Feng Baobao scratched her face and said matter-of-factly:

"Because I don't want to blow him up!"

"Holy crap!" Zhang Chulan couldn't take it anymore and suddenly stood up.

"I must be crazy to play Dou Dizhu with you two!"

“Brother Chen, you be the landlord, I'll be the guarantor, and you two can gang up on me.”

"Is this how you play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?"

Xiao Zizai turned to ask Qiu'er,

Is there a "protector" option in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)?

Ball shook his head.

"I've never experienced this before, it must be a new way to play!"

"Oh! I see!"

The clarinet shook its head:

"It's not a new tactic, it's just a metaphor! It's a metaphor for how badly Bilian lost!"

Qiu'er was delighted upon hearing this, and he walked up to Zhang Chulan with a smile.

"Brother Bilian, how many rounds have you won?"

Zhang Chulan was speechless; he hadn't won a single game.

I fully experienced what it means to be called...

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

His teammate is such a jerk!

Not only are they pigs, they're also traitors!

After hearing that Zhang Chulan hadn't won a single game, Qiu'er laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Bilian, are you stupid? You and him are playing Dou Dizhu (a card game)?"

Zhang Chulan also felt that he had gone crazy to play Dou Dizhu with the two of them.

After seeing Zhang Chulan lose everything, including his underwear,

Lin Chen patted Feng Baobao's head as a reward:

"Baby, you did a great job! I'll have Fu Rong make you knife-cut noodles later, with lots of beef!"

Feng Baobao's eyes lit up immediately when she heard there was beef to eat.

The chick nodded like pecking at rice.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow upon seeing the four people walking in through the door.

"What brings the four of you here? Is there something you need from me?"

Old Meng stepped forward.

I told him everything about Chen Duo's experiences and what happened between me and Lao Liao.

"Boss, can you analyze for me why Chen Duo wanted to kill Lao Liao?"

Lin Chen frowned, looking displeased.

"Who told you that Lin Duo killed Lao Liao?"

Old Meng's body stiffened.

"Didn't Chen Duo herself admit it?"

Lin Chen licked his back teeth.

"Yes! She admitted it, but have you thought about why she killed Lao Liao and defected?"

Old Meng nodded:

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days, but I haven't come to any conclusion."

A sharp knife suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's hand.

A sharp glint flashed in the knife.

It was aimed straight at Lao Meng's throat.

Old Meng's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The others also looked puzzled.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, the dagger still pressed against Lao Meng's throat.

Why didn't you dodge just now?

Old Meng stammered:

"First, I wasn't on guard against you; second, you're too fast, I couldn't dodge!"

Lin Chen pressed the dagger closer to Lao Meng's throat, his tone serious and earnest:

"Now, I'm giving you two choices: either kill me, or I'll kill you. Which one do you choose?"

A bead of sweat rolled down Lao Meng's forehead:

"This...this...Boss, you're not kidding me!"

"I'm not kidding you, I'm letting you choose!"

"I...I don't know!"

A strange light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

"If it were me, I would not hesitate to kill the other party..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

The clarinet seemed to understand Lin Chen's intention.

"What the boss means is that Chen Duo killing Lao Liao back then was the same choice Lao Meng is facing now."

"Yes!" Lin Chen sheathed his dagger.

"You mean Lao Liao wanted to kill Chen Duo, and Chen Duo had no choice but to kill Lao Liao?"

Old Meng said in surprise:

"Impossible! I know Lao Liao. He would never do such a thing, not even if he were dead!"

Lin Chen stared intently at Old Meng.

Why do you think that?

Old Meng felt a chill run down his spine under Lin Chen's gaze:

"Because I think..."

"What do you think?" Lin Chen scoffed lightly.

"I don't care what you think, I care what Chen Duo thinks..."

The people inside the room fell into deep thought.

After a while,

Ball suddenly realized:

"Boss, do you mean that Chen Duo felt that Lao Liao was going to kill her, and had no choice but to kill Lao Liao?"

Lin Chen nodded and then shook his head.

You're only half right!

"Whether Chen Duo thinks this way or whether others have guided her to think this way is unknown."

"However, based on my understanding of Chen Duo, I am more inclined to believe the latter."

"Based on the information we have so far, it's the latter!"

Xiao Zizai, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:

"Who do you think is guiding Chen Duo to believe that Liao Zhong wants to kill her?"

Lin Chen said, "I don't know, but I'm sure this matter is related to the company!"

Upon hearing that it was related to the company, everyone fell silent again.

Lin Chen looked at Feng Baobao, who had a blank and adorable expression.

"Baby, did you understand?"

Feng Baobao shook her head.
