It is a rather irresponsible question and Cheng Daqi preferred to translate this abstract question into ‘How should one survive in this world?’
Once he chose the most difficult path, he was destined to face countless challenges and tough opponents.
Of course, corresponding to this, Cheng Daqi also gained a lot.
An imprudent life is wild and chaotic.
Cheng Daqi bore such imnse pressure that when he faced Sheriff Gru’s trial, his first thought wasn’t how to respond, but an exclamation that ca from deep within his heart.
It’s tricky, indeed tricky.
Gru chose a situation where Cheng was more passive to test him, displaying his cunning.
Cheng Daqi realized that after he had “a seat at Arica’s table,” everyone’s attitude towards him had changed.
Wolf’s change was the most noticeable; he chose to flip the script and renegotiate terms imdiately, stemming from his confidence in his own power and his disdain for Cheng Daqi.
“You’re just a fool, I’ve just used you!”
“You think you can threaten with Eris, but I don’t actually care, because you’ve solved my biggest problem.”
Thus, after the problem was resolved, Wolf’s attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Sheriff Gru’s change in attitude was a bit more complex.
From the beginning until just before the test, he appeared very submissive, like a tad wild beast.
After being trapped twice by Niusen of the California Clique, and in order to maintain his strength while extracting himself from the mire, he chose to submit a pledge to Cheng Daqi.
After becoming the general manager of West State Logistics, Gru truly beca Cheng Daqi’s weapon.
However, this forr sheriff still bared his teeth.
Cheng actually wasn’t too worried about this baring of teeth; he didn’t even feel pressured by it.
It might have been a minor nuisance, but it wasn’t too hard to deal with.
In so ways, Cheng even thought that Gru was rather fragile inside.
If he had any spirit left, he should learn from Wolf instead of trying to strike when vulnerable.
Yes, Cheng thought that Gru’s current state showed so inner weakness; the so-called verbal probing was just his struggle against the predicants he faced.
Just now, Cheng once again denied Gru’s request to clean up the senior ranks of West State Logistics, and then Gru pressed forward.
This behavior is sothing only a ticulous person like Cheng Daqi could appreciate.
Gru, you’ve lost confidence, huh!
Losing his position as sheriff, leaving the LAPD, parachuted into a corporate executive role, being manipulated by those below, and pressed down by Cheng on top, Gru wanted to act but Cheng Daqi wouldn’t agree.
Gru might not feel overt, clear panic, but these huge changes must have influenced his decision-making process, impelling him to make a probing move in what seed to Cheng Daqi a passive situation.
A single probe like this, for Cheng Daqi to think this far was already comndable, but if it were just this, he wouldn’t have made it to today.
The physical differences between people are limited; many decisive factors lead different individuals towards different destinies, among which, one can be simply understood as ‘insight.’
For the sa event, like the sunset on the horizon, a Qi Refinent Realm cultivator would take a glance and ignore it, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator could see the Escape Light ten miles away in the sky, a Golden Core Stage cultivator could sense a spreading Divine Sense, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could see their opponent sprinting at top speed towards them.
Humans aren’t cultivators, but what different people see in the sa thing can be vastly different.
So can see the tide from the ripple, so can infer the whole from a part, however, most people wouldn’t see the elephant in the room even if it was about to burst the walls, luckily, Cheng is one of the few who can.
From Gru’s probe, Cheng thought of Achilles.
Achilles had always held a poor attitude towards Cheng Daqi and Mi’er.
But after Cheng Daqi’s miraculous coback win, this heir from the Caramacris Family unexpectedly changed his tune, giving unusual gifts and courtesy to Cheng Daqi and Mi’er.
Previously, influenced by the conditions set by Achilles, Cheng thought Achilles’ purpose was to make Mi’er change her surna and relinquish her inheritance rights, but now, he realized this understanding was one-sided.
Wolf flipped, Gru probed, Achilles offered courtesies, the differences among them bore significant reflective value.
Cheng was montarily stunned in his seat.
Silence is sotis an attitude.
Riel believed he sensed his boss’s attitude, so he tensely watched Gru.
Sheriff Gru naturally wouldn’t bicker with such a fool, and seeing that Cheng Daqi gave no response, he chose to close his eyes and feign sleep.
Unwilling, then be unwilling, stingy fellow, hmph!
Just as Cheng guessed, Gru didn’t have the courage to flip the script imdiately like Wolf; although he wasn’t exactly fragile inside, he was sowhat panicked and thus he surprisingly found himself more tolerant than ever before.
“This matter is a bit more complicated than you think, Gru, let’s examine it thoroughly once Mi’er has returned tomorrow.”
Cheng: I will give you an explanation, but not now.
Cheng Daqi’s answer was reasonable, though late, but Gru still nodded in agreent.
The black police officer knew this was an evasion, just like Temir’s earlier madness.
Without Cheng Daqi, could she have the importance she holds now?
