Chapter 583: Chapter 583: ng Tian’s Past (Fifth Update)
"You guessed already? Do you know who I am?" Lin Feng stood there, feeling extrely surprised upon hearing ng Tian say this. How could ng Tian possibly know his identity? Was it that mysterious person behind the scenes who told him?
"Yes, he told
you might co looking for . But as you’ve guessed, by choosing to take poison, it’s clear that I’m not going to tell you anything about him," ng Tian said calmly. Since everything was out in the open and Lin Feng had found his way here, it surely ant that Lin Feng had so leads. Therefore, there was even less of a need to deceive Lin Feng about anything. Still, ng Tian chose to say it this way, the subtext being obvious: it would be impossible to learn anything about Young Master Wang from him, though he might be willing to talk about other matters.
"Alright, I won’t ask about that person. How many years have you been in this position?" Of course, Lin Feng understood ng Tian’s aning. Since it was already destined that he wouldn’t get anything valuable from ng Tian, might as well have a casual chat. Who knows, he might discover sothing in the conversation.
"In the blink of an eye, it’s already been four years. Under my managent, this company has grown from that small five-story building into what it is today. Honestly, I really can’t bear to leave everything now. It’s not about fa or fortune, because I’ve long treated the company as my own child," ng Tian sighed. Four years had passed, and his reminiscences were unpleasant. The company had grown to its current size through his hard work. He truly treated it as his own child and was very reluctant to leave. If not for the dire circumstances, he wouldn’t have taken such a step.
"You’ve been here for four years, and since you can’t bear to leave, why did you choose to take poison as soon as you heard I was coming? Am I that terrifying?" Lin Feng asked indifferently. It was now certain that ng Tian was definitely a subordinate of that mysterious person, a tool specifically used to make money for him. For such a refined person, Lin Feng held no malice, especially since ng Tian didn’t have much ti left anyway.
"It’s not because I’m afraid; I just don’t want to reveal anything about him." ng Tian smiled faintly. He really didn’t find Lin Feng to be a scary person. If Lin Feng were dangerous, he could have attacked him while he was working, forced a confession, and never given him the chance to take poison. But Lin Feng didn’t do that. Although he didn’t know the specifics of the relationship between Lin Feng and Young Master Wang, he had chosen to take the poison just in case. From any angle, he couldn’t possibly reveal anything about Young Master Wang.
"Is there really nothing in this world that you regret leaving behind?" Lin Feng looked at ng Tian and understood his resolve. If nothing unexpected happened, that mysterious person must have spoken to him about Bi Huihuang, causing ng Tian to beco wary. Moreover, ng Tian’s relationship with Young Master Wang should be similar to that of Zhu Tao’s, otherwise ng Tian would never have made such a resolute decision.
"There really isn’t much to regret. The company is everything to . Aside from work, there’s just more work. I’ve long made my work my life," ng Tian replied with a wry smile to Lin Feng’s question. He clearly understood Lin Feng’s implication—that Lin Feng had abandoned any intention of prying into Young Master Wang’s situation from him and was just inquiring as a friend. So ng Tian gave an honest answer.
His heart had died four years ago. His life had already been consud by work back then; what else could there be to cling to? If he had to ntion sothing, it would only be Jingwei International Trade Company, which he had painstakingly expanded. His entire spirit was rged with the company. But none of these things mattered now. Once he was gone, Young Master Wang would surely arrange for soone suitable to ensure the company’s continuity, so he wouldn’t have any regrets.
"Since you like the company so much, was it worth it to make this choice?" Lin Feng now understood why ng Tian was a workaholic. As he said, he had long regarded the entire company as his child; the company was his everything. It’s sad for a person’s life to be comprised solely of work, but since ng Tian had chosen such a life, it definitely ant that the mysterious person ant a lot to ng Tian, or else no one would choose to take poison.
Lin Feng felt pity; such a person had worked himself to the bone for soone like that mysterious person, and in the end, had chosen to poison himself to stop Lin Feng from finding out anything about the mysterious individual. Was it really all worth it? If he had known it would co to this, he might not have co to look for ng Tian tonight.
"It’s not worth it, but I have to do it because I owe him a great debt of gratitude. For him, I’m willing to do anything," ng Tian said, looking at Lin Feng with another bitter smile. His heart really wasn’t filled with much sorrow. During the past four years, he had made a lot of money and had already arranged everything for his parents. Even if he died, his parents would be taken care of, which was his duty as a son. He now had no concerns.
Although his death would sadden his parents, he had long been a man marked for death. His life had been given by Young Master Wang, so it was only natural to return it. Choosing to die was also a release for himself.
"Tell
your story with him," Lin Feng said, knowing that ng Tian had made up his mind to die and it was impossible for him to reveal anything. He felt an even deeper regret for ng Tian and was now truly eager to know what exactly had happened between ng Tian and that mysterious person, what great favor the mysterious person had done for ng Tian, that he was so determined to sacrifice himself to keep the secret.
"Four years ago, I was an economics professor, very well-known in Capital City. Later, my lover cheated on
with another man, committing adultery. When I learned about it, I was so enraged that I tried everything to find that immoral couple. Finally, in a villa in the suburbs, I caught them in the act, lost all reason in my rage, and burst into the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife..."
"In the end, one mber of the immoral couple died and the other was seriously injured. I killed my once-beloved lover, and the man, though he survived by luck, was also severely wounded. After I left, he feigned death and then imdiately called the police."
"Without a doubt, I was arrested and quickly sentenced to death. Just when I had lost all hope and was prepared to give up on life, a miracle happened. I saw him in the visiting room. He didn’t say much, just that with him around I wouldn’t die and would soon be free, saying that I had no need to die for that immoral couple. After these words, he left
there completely baffled, not understanding what had happened."
"But the outco truly shocked everyone. My death sentence was anded to a suspended death sentence in an otherwise impossible situation, and after a series of events, I was miraculously released from prison in about three months’ ti. It was him who ca to pick
up in his car when I was released."
"The two of us talked a lot in the car, and he made his intentions clear right away, wanting
to help him manage a trade company. I was so moved, words failed , and I agreed on the spot. If he could save
in such an unlikely situation, I would use all my strength to repay his life-saving grace and ntorship."
ng Tian’s eyes moistened as he recounted his experiences with Young Master Wang. These events were all in the past and beyond Lin Feng’s ability to investigate, so ng Tian spoke with ease. Rembering what happened four years ago, ng Tian’s heart ached; without Young Master Wang, he would have long been dead and wouldn’t have had the current situation, nor the four years to make arrangents for his parents.
The facts proved that Young Master Wang was right to save ng Tian. Jingwei International Trade Company had earned an unknown sum of money for Young Master Wang in four years. Although part of it was due to Young Master Wang’s influence in governnt departnts, what mattered most was ng Tian’s ability. Under ng Tian’s hard work, Jingwei International Trade Company had grown from a company worth a few billion yuan to its current state, all thanks to ng Tian’s efforts.
So ti ago, Young Master Wang specifically called ng Tian over to talk to him about so matters in private, revealing that he had gotten into trouble with a man nad Lin Feng, that one of his n, Bi Huihuang, was already dead, and he didn’t want anything to happen to ng Tian and asked him to be prepared.
After returning, ng Tian easily inferred the implication of Young Master Wang’s words from between the lines. He prepared a pen on his desk with a hidden compartnt containing lethal cyanide, ready for any contingency. If anyone tried to learn about Young Master Wang from him, it was absolutely impossible unless he died!
"You know, if I’ve been able to track it down to here, then I’m sure I can find out who he really is. Dying like this is truly not worth it." Lin Feng shook his head in regret after hearing all ng Tian had to say, sorry that ng Tian died like this. In fact, he had already found the company, and with the data he had analyzed, he knew a lot. It wouldn’t take much effort to unearth who the mysterious person was—what a pity that ng Tian died in vain.
"Man proposes, God disposes. I’ve done what I could, and what happens next is not my concern. If this still isn’t enough to protect him, then it can only an that it was his fate to co to this point." Hearing Lin Feng say this, ng Tian realized Lin Feng was telling the truth but had no regrets. Just like he said, man proposes, God disposes. He had done all that he could, and there was not much more he could do to help Young Master Wang. But it was also good; from today onwards, he was finally free, no longer needing to numb himself with frenzied work...
