Chapter 294 Can His Words Represent the Cao Family?
"Wrong...is it the world?"
Xiao Xi murmured, she didn't know what this sentence meant.
She only knew that the big brother in front of her was a good person.
Because the other party is the first person who is willing to believe her and buy her candied haws.
"Okay, take the candied haws home and give it to your mother to eat. You can eat it yourself too."
Su Jiang smiled and rubbed Xiao Xi's head, and then warned: "Remember, as long as you can survive, it doesn't matter if you make a few mistakes."
Xiao Xi nodded heavily and said in a sweet voice, "I remember, thank you, big brother."
After saying that, Xiao Xi hugged the candied haws, turned around and trotted away.
"Haha...Brother, you are really kind-hearted."
The Tanghulu boss suddenly spoke up and said, "Actually, we also feel sorry for the little girl and want to believe her, but there is nothing we can do. We are determined but powerless."
He said with a sigh on his face: "People like us can't even care about ourselves, how can we care about the life and death of others."
"Just to survive in this world, we have already tried our best."
"Our abilities do not allow us to be warm-hearted and good people..."
When Su Jiang heard this, he nodded slightly and said nothing.
He stepped forward, quietly eating candied haws, and walked on this street.
On the streets, there is an endless stream of vendors selling their goods.
They may not be very knowledgeable or have any special skills.
They may be alone and helpless, or they may be the breadwinner of the family, supporting their elderly parents and nurturing their own children.
Noise, shouts, laughter...
All kinds of voices reached Su Jiang's ears. These ordinary people were trying their best to survive in this world.
And this is just a certain street in Yannan.
In Yannan, there are countless such streets.
There are countless such people in the world.
Looking at the candied haws in his hand, Su Jiang suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
He always felt that whether it was Meng Jiangnan or himself, even if Yannan was destroyed, it would not be a big deal.
In the eyes of those forces, life and death are just ordinary things.
Before, I was thinking about letting An Rou and the others withdraw, while I stayed and died with those people...
Yes, I do have two lives.
It's a good deal to die together with Wei Liangping and the others.
However, Wei Liangping and others were not the only ones to die.
Su Jiang looked around and saw the endless stream of people around him. He had already finished eating the candied haws in his hand, and the hand holding the sign couldn't help but use a little more strength.
These people only have one life.
Destroying Yannan is so unfair to these people.
They obviously didn't do anything and were about to be sucked into this whirlpool.
Even until the day they die, they may not know why they died.
Su Jiang just walked in silence all the way to Cao's house.
At this moment, the guard of the Cao family had obviously been waiting for a long time. He was about to open his mouth to let Su Jiang in, but when he opened his mouth, he stopped talking.
Huh? Why does Su Jiang look weird today?
The guard couldn't explain what was strange, but now in his eyes, he felt that Su Jiang had changed.
If Su Jiang was sharp before, Su Jiang now seems to have restrained everything, giving people a sense of calm.
"Long San asked me to come." Su Jiang said in a calm voice.
"Ah...please, please come in!" The guard was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Master and the others have been waiting for a long time."
Su Jiang nodded and walked inside, towards the familiar living room.
Su Jiang pushed the door open without knocking.
"Squeak——"
Inside the room, Zhu Ruxue and Cao Heran were sitting on the sofa opposite each other, with Long San and Hu Qi standing behind them respectively.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the four of them immediately focused their attention on Su Jiang.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Su Jiang said softly, then closed the door, pulled up a chair and sat down.
When Zhu Ruxue and Cao Heran saw this, they both raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.
What's wrong with this kid?
Depressed in adolescence?
"Su Jiang, why did you ask us to retreat yesterday?"
Hu Qi couldn't help but spoke first: "Did you know that yesterday we were about to break through the defense line of the coalition forces in the capital. Once we succeed, taking them down will not be a problem."
When Su Jiang heard this, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Hu Qi.
"I know, so what?"
Hu Qi felt even more unhappy when he heard Su Jiang's tone: "So, if we miss this opportunity, how can we find another one?"
"We cooperated with you, but the result was no benefit at all. Yesterday, several brothers even died. Because you just retreated, all our previous efforts were wasted!"
"Don't you think you should be responsible for this?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified.
After a long time, Su Jiang suddenly laughed and turned to look at Cao Heran.
"Can his words represent your Cao family?"
He didn't believe that without Cao Heran's permission, Hu Qi would dare to say such things to him on this occasion.
Obviously, the old guy Cao Heran also had some opinions about last night's retreat.
That's why Hu Qi acquiesced in questioning Su Jiang like this.
If Cao Heran came to interrogate in person, the meaning would be different.
Once there were a few disagreements, the alliance would most likely end up broken.
Therefore, letting Hu Qi interrogate was the best choice. In this way, he could express his dissatisfaction without making things worse.
However, Cao Heran did not expect that Su Jiang, a young man, could see through this directly.
"Can his words represent the Cao family?"
In one sentence, the pressure was directly put on Cao Heran.
Zhu Ruxue looked at Su Jiang with some appreciation. His brain was not much worse than An Mingjie's.
Rourou really knows how to pick people.
At this moment, Cao Heran looked at Su Jiang and smiled softly: "Hu Qi certainly didn't mean that."
"Su Jiang, please understand. Lao Qi suffered a lot in the fight last night, so he is a little resentful."
"We agreed yesterday that all actions will be under your command, so you did nothing wrong. It's Lao Qi who is impatient."
After saying that, Cao Heran turned back and glared at Hu Qi: "You will lose your salary this month, which is a punishment."
"Don't talk nonsense in such occasions in the future. Do you understand?"
Hu Qi touched his nose and said in a deep voice: "I know."
Hearing this painless punishment, Su Jiang smiled slightly and said nothing.
After all, he and Cao Heran are just allies, not real friends.
So it is normal for the other party to have opinions.
