C1554 Grand Hotel Bangkok
"It's me —" Lee Shun said. He did not give Wu De any form of address.
"Oh. "Asun." Wu De's happy voice came over the phone. Of course I knew it was an act. He should have guessed it was Lee Shun the moment he saw the caller ID.
Qin and I sat there in silence. Qin handed me a cigarette, and we lit it and smoked.
"Yes, it's me!" Lee Shun's voice sounded cold, which was very different from the tone he used before with Wu De.
"Asun, you are …" Wu De said.
"I'm at the Grand Hotel in Bangkok." Lee Shun said.
"Oh, you went to Bangkok. You're not going to spend the new year with your parents? " Wu De said.
"They have returned to the Hsinghai after the New Year." Lee Shun answered.
"Oh, hur hur." I heard Wu De laugh. It sounded forced, but he was smiling. He could still laugh at a time like this.
Hearing Wu De's laughter, Lee Shun's facial muscles twitched, and his gaze turned colder.
"It's been a good year with your parents, isn't it?" Wu De said after he finished laughing.
"Very good, what about you? "Have you had a good year?" Lee Shun said.
"Me? Hur Hur. I'm living quite well, right? "Overall, it's still passable." Wu De said.
"Still ok... It was reasonable … "What does that mean?" Lee Shun said, "That means there are still some areas that you don't like?"
"You could say that." He stopped laughing.
"What's wrong with that?" Lee Shun said.
"Yes." "During the past year, I made a business deal. I lost, I lost!" Wu De sounded like he couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart.
"How much did you lose?" Lee Shun said.
"Not too many, and not too few either. About 400 million." Wu De said.
"What kind of business would lose so much money?" Lee Shun said.
"This... "Hehe." Wu De laughed and did not continue.
"Can I guess what kind of business it is?" Lee Shun said.
"If you want to guess, I can't stop you." Wu De said.
"Do you think I'd like to guess?" Lee Shun said.
"Whether you like it or not is your business." Wu De said.
"Then I won't guess." Lee Shun said.
Wu De didn't say anything.
"Do you know why I didn't guess?" Lee Shun said.
"Because you know what kind of business it is." Wu De's voice was a bit low.
"Do you think I must know?" Lee Shun said.
"Ask yourself." Wu De said. His voice sounded cold.
"Why me?" Lee Shun said.
"Asun, do you think it's necessary for you to circle around me?" Wu De said.
Lee Shun took a long drag on his cigarette and said: "Do you think I've changed?"
"Yes, you've changed. This time, the way you talk to me is completely different from before!" Wu De said.
"Want to know why?" Lee Shun said.
"I don't want to know." Wu De's answer was very straightforward.
Lee Shun took a deep breath and paused for a moment before saying, "You lost two big business last year right? That added up to five or six hundred million. "I remember that you were very smart in your business. Why did you make so much money over and over again?"
"Haha." Wu De suddenly laughed.
Lee Shun stared at the phone and clenched his teeth.
After laughing, Wu De said: "Asun, are you worried about me? Are you worried that I've lost all my money in the business? Let me tell you, Asun, since you are doing business, there will be profit and loss. However, don't worry. My roots are quite strong. The money I'll lose won't hurt my foundation. What I'll lose right now will definitely double my profit. I have the confidence, the capital, and the condition. "
"Really?" Lee Shun dragged his voice. "You sound very confident."
"I've always been confident when I do things. You understand me." Wu De said.
"In the past, I would have thought so. But now, I'm afraid I don't have that much confidence in you!" Lee Shun said.
"Why? Do you think that your ability and energy have surpassed mine? " Wu De said.
"I don't think so." Lee Shun said.
"Then why?" Wu De said.
"I don't want to say it, but you know it better than I do!" Lee Shun's tone was very cold.
"Asun, I heard that your tone of voice is becoming more and more different from before. What? Do you have any opinions on me?" Wu De said.
Lee Shun said, "There are some things that I don't want to say and some things that you don't need to ask."
Wu De sighed, "Asun, you've been with me for so many years. You should know what I've done to you. I want to say that no matter how you think of me, no matter how you misunderstand me, I want to tell you that I have always genuinely cared for you and that I will take responsibility for you at any time. I will not ignore you. All that I have done, is actually for your own good. All of this is for the common interests of you and me, all for the sake of our future, better tomorrow. "
Lee Shun interrupted him: "Since you said I followed you for so many years, since you said I understand you, then, you should know me."
"Yes." Wu De said.
"Then you should know that although I have committed many evil deeds, I have never done anything to betray the national and national interests. You should know that I hate the Japanese the most. You should know that I hate traitor the most." Lee Shun's tone was slow but powerful.
When I heard this, I was shocked. What did Lee Shun mean by what he said to Wu De? Could it be that Lee Shun had grasped the evidence of Wu De selling out the country? Could it be that Wu De was a traitor?
I looked at Qin, Qin looked at the ground without making a sound, only focusing on smoking.
Wu De was silent for a long time. After a while, he said: "Asun, you... What do you mean? "
Wu De's voice seemed to tremble slightly.
"I don't mean anything. I just want you to understand me better. What, what do you think I meant?" Lee Shun asked Wu De.
"Oh, hur hur." Wu De laughed dryly again: "I also think so. I know you want me to understand you better, I don't know where to go."
The two of them then fell silent. It was unknown what they were thinking.
"Actually, I also did a big business during the Spring Festival." After a while, Lee Shun said.
"Oh. What business? How much did you earn? " Wu De said.
"You should be able to guess what kind of business it is. You should also know whether it's a loss or a profit." Lee Shun said.
"Asun, look, aren't you trying to make me guess riddles? If you don't tell me, how would I know?" Wu De said.
"This business almost took my life and mine, but luckily, not only am I alive and well, I've also defeated my opponent, and they've even made a wasted effort!" Lee Shun's voice was a bit fierce.
"Oh, hur hur. In that case, you've won and earned. I should congratulate you instead!" Wu De said: "Look, during the Spring Festival, I stayed at Hsinghai and didn't go anywhere. I also didn't know about your situation, so if you don't tell me today, I won't know. "I lost money from my business, you earned it from my business. Alright, we're not outsiders, so it's fine if I lose it. You just have to earn it. I'm very happy for you. You can come back another day and I'll properly congratulate you."
Wu De sounded very shameless and rogue, he was walking in circles with Lee Shun.
"Thank you. As long as you are willing, I think, you will continue to congratulate me in the future! " Lee Shun said.
"Well, I think so, but I won't keep losing money. I think you'll have a chance to congratulate me in the future, but I don't need you to congratulate me many times. Just once is enough." Wu De emphasized on his last sentence.
Lee Shun's face turned ashen, but he didn't say anything.
"Even if I do 10 losses, as long as I succeed once, I will be able to get everything back and solve the problem once and for all. Do you believe that I can solve this once and for all, Asun?" Wu De said in a mocking tone.
Lee Shun said, "I believe you, but I think that this opportunity to succeed might be very hard to obtain."
"What is not difficult? If there is suffering, we have a way to overcome it. I think that no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely have a chance to succeed this time around. You must believe that I am very confident in this, and you must also be as confident as me. " Wu De said.
Lee Shun said, "Alright, since you said that, then I'll believe you. If you need my help, just tell me. If you need my help, then I'll definitely cooperate with you!"
Wu De laughed again, "Alright, Asun, with your words, I am relieved. As long as you and I cooperate well, I will definitely have a glorious success. This is not a success for me alone, it is a success for both of us, the glory belongs to us."
Lee Shun said, "As long as there is a chance, I will definitely help you. If I don't, I'm sorry for the many years of training and teaching you!"
Lee Shun's words revealed the intention of breaking away from Wu De. I could hear it.
As for the conversation between Lee Shun and Wu De, even though it sounded peaceful and harmonious on the surface, I could already sense the unusual tension and tension between the two of them. Even though both sides were fighting with Tai Chi, the confrontation between them was gradually appearing on the surface.
Even now, it seemed like neither of them wanted to break that layer of paper.
Wu De said, "Oh, Asun, why do I hear you sound like you're in a bad mood?"
"That's because the person who said it didn't mean it, the person who heard it had their own thoughts."
"Then it seems that I was overthinking it!"
"If you don't care, you know what to do!"
Wu De became silent again. After a while, he said: "Asun, I feel that you have really changed. The way you talk to me has changed. You don't respect me anymore."
Lee Shun said, "How much respect do you need? How can I respect you? What do you think a person needs to be respected? "
Wu De said coldly: "You're giving me a lesson? Give me another lesson? "
"I'm not that good!"
Wu De sneered and said, "At least you know your own limits!"
"You said I'm changing. That's right, I'm changing, not just today, I'm always changing. Actually, not only am I changing, you're also changing. Of course, maybe you've never changed, it's just that I've never changed before."
"Nothing?"1
"I don't really understand you!"
"You understand me?" Wu De said, "So, you understand me now?"
"Nope." "But it's a step closer than it used to be," Lee Shun said.
"Asun, let me tell you, there has never been anyone in this world who could truly read me. Not just you, but anyone else as well. As for the subtle changes in your attitude towards me, I can understand that you did not correctly read me, you must have some misunderstanding about me. "
Lee Shun was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, there is a layer of paper that I don't want to pierce, the reason I don't want to pierce, maybe it's because I'm afraid, maybe it's because I'm afraid of losing something, or maybe it's because I don't want to see anything."
