When Ye Shaohong saw Chang Botao again, he almost didn't recognize him.
It has only been three or four hours since they parted ways.
But Chang Botao gave Ye Shaohong the feeling that he was a completely different person.
If Chang Botao was a weak scholar before, now he is showing signs of turning to the dark side.
He sat upright on the sofa in the villa's living room.
He was looking down.
He was holding two black and white photos.
An open bottle of strong liquor sat on the table, and Chang Botao's disheveled hair gave him an aura of cold indignation.
"often……."
Seeing this scene, even though Ye Shaohong was prepared, he silently swallowed the words that were about to come out.
He thought about it for a moment, and finally stepped forward.
She walked up to Chang Botao's side.
No words were spoken.
Ye Shaohong simply picked up the strong liquor on the table and filled Chang Botao's glass with it.
Pour yourself another glass.
then.
Ye Shaohong immediately picked up the wine glass and held it high in front of him.
"Commander Chang, Ye Shaohong is here to apologize to you!"
"Please!" Ye Shaohong said without waiting for Chang Botao's response. He simply tilted his head back and gulped down the strong liquor in his glass.
hot!
Western spirits don't have the same lingering aftertaste as Chinese baijiu.
Ye Shaohong felt only a spicy sensation in his throat.
But he has no time to care about any of that now.
Just as Ye Shaohong gulped down the strong liquor in his glass, Chang Botao, who had been keeping his head down, slowly raised his head as well.
The moment he looked up, Ye Shaohong noticed that Chang Botao's eyes were bloodshot.
It almost filled his eyes.
He was scrutinizing Ye Shaohong from head to toe with an extremely complex expression. There was resentment, anger, unwillingness, and even a hint of regret...
Very complicated.
This was the first time Ye Shaohong had ever seen such complex eyes in a middle-aged man.
Even he couldn't immediately discern what Chang Botao was thinking.
"Ha~!"
A moment later, Chang Botao pursed his lips and let out a cold laugh.
He raised his hand, picked up the drink Ye Shaohong had poured for him from the table, and numbly poured it into his mouth.
He then put the wine glass down.
Seeing this, Ye Shaohong gave a silent, bitter smile.
He knew that this matter couldn't be forgiven with sentiment, but he still had to take steps to resolve it.
Who told him to be Xu Zhongyi's superior? When his subordinates made mistakes, this big guy had to take the blame.
"Commander Chang, I know it was my fault for being disciplining you and made you angry. I apologize to you again!"
This is the first time Ye Shaohong has treated a stranger in such a way since he transmigrated to this world.
But Ye Shaohong didn't feel ashamed.
Because he's a man too.
He could naturally understand Chang Botao's complex and confused state of mind.
Do I hate it?
Of course I hate it, I hate it so much I grit my teeth.
But that woman was his beloved concubine of many years, and that child was someone he had watched grow up and cherished as his precious treasure and emotional support.
Now look what's happened; everything's gone in an instant. And it was all because an outsider pointed it out.
It's so embarrassing and shameful.
Chang Botao felt like he had fallen into a cesspool of sewage, and there was no way to clear his name.
Chang Botao naturally harbored resentment towards Ye Shaohong, but he also knew very well that this matter could not be blamed on Ye Shaohong.
Did he actually kill someone?
Given Chang Botao's current power and status, it's possible.
But if he dared to kill that small fry Xu Zhongyi, would he dare to lay a hand on Ye Shaohong?
Chang Botao couldn't bear the consequences.
The Chang family simply cannot afford it.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
After Ye Shaohong finished speaking, he looked Chang Botao up and down seriously once again. Seeing that Chang Botao's expression had not changed much, Ye Shaohong picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled his own and Chang Botao's glasses.
Ye Shaohong also downed his second glass of wine without hesitation.
This time, Chang Botao did not accompany him.
He simply turned his head slightly and looked at it coldly.
However, this was actually quite good news for Ye Shaohong.
This at least shows that Chang Botao did take his words to heart, and it also means that there is still a possibility of discussion and negotiation between the two sides.
Therefore, Ye Shaohong did not delay or hesitate.
After finishing one glass of wine, he immediately poured himself another and solemnly raised the glass high in front of him once again.
"Commander Chang, please believe me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
After saying that, he had already downed his third drink. Ye Shaohong didn't bother to apologize anymore.
He strode over to Chang Botao and sat down comfortably.
If the previous three drinks were Ye Shaohong's way of apologizing on behalf of Xu Zhongyi, then now Ye Shaohong is speaking to Chang Botao as an equal, based on his status and position.
It even carried a hint of coercion.
This is Ye Shaohong's current position in the Nationalist government and the Military Intelligence Bureau.
He is qualified.
"Ha~!"
Chang Botao let out another muffled groan.
The only difference from the last time was that this time, Chang Botao's cold groan had a touch more human warmth to it.
It carried a hint of mockery.
But relatively speaking, he finally showed signs of regaining his senses. Being ridiculed to his face like that, Ye Shaohong frowned slightly, but he ultimately held back.
"Commander Chang."
"Let's talk. Tell me your thoughts. As long as I, Ye Shaohong, can satisfy them, I certainly won't refuse!"
Ye Shaohong leaned forward slightly, demonstrating his attitude.
"my thoughts?"
"I want to kill someone, will you allow it?"
"cannot!"
"Heh~! That settles it. That kid is one of your men. I've heard about your reputation in the National Government, Ye Shaohong."
"How could you possibly let me kill him?"
"Then what idea is there to speak of?"
Chang Botao responded coldly. This seemingly weak and scholarly professional soldier finally showed some of his ruthlessness this time.
"Actually... we can still talk."
"It's nothing more than an exchange of benefits."
Ye Shaohong ignored Chang Botao's teasing and continued to talk about his own thoughts.
"Benefit?"
Chang Botao muttered to himself.
Gradually, his spirits recovered somewhat.
Yes, how many adults, at Chang Botao's age, still care about feelings?
Ultimately, it all comes down to self-interest.
After figuring things out, Chang Botao picked up the wine glass on the table again and downed it in one gulp.
Then, he smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.
"Alright!" "Then let's talk about benefits. I wonder, Director Ye, how much can you bring me?"
