Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Tell Everything
The young man was somewhat puzzled, wondering what exactly the boss meant.
But he quickly repeated the scene from that time.
However, at the time, he was only focused on beating the person up and did not pay attention to what Brother Chen had actually said.
He only remembered that the person they rescued seemed to be that very good drinker from their establishment.
After he had clarified these things, Liu Jiaxin finally understood.
It seemed that it was Brother Chen who had encountered the situation as he passed by.
Otherwise, there might have been trouble.
She quickly dismissed her underlings and then immediately called for Brother Chen.
Brother Chen could be considered as having been by her side for many, many years. Back when that person was still around, he had always worked under her.
In a sense, he could be considered as her trusted aide.
But she had never thought that Brother Chen would do such a thing without telling her, and she had to hear about it from the other underlings, which she indeed found quite incredible.
When Brother Chen came before her, he also started with a puzzled tone.
"What’s the matter, Boss? Has something happened?"
At that moment, Liu Jiaxin appeared very hesitant, unsure of how to bring up the subject.
She did not know how Brother Chen would feel when he saw Liu Zheng.
She thought he would surely be reminded of the late friend.
And she did not know what Brother Chen’s attitude would be towards her actions.
Although Brother Chen was just one of her subordinates, and always listened to her very well, no matter when.
In fact, he had saved her life several times during some extremely dangerous moments.
After all, it’s inevitable to encounter some dangers when one is involved in this line of work, and at that time, Brother Chen was indeed a loyal protector.
"You saw him, didn’t you?"
After much contemplation, she finally just said that.
Initially, Brother Chen didn’t know why Liu Jiaxin had called him over, but after hearing her words, he finally had an epiphany.
No matter what, he couldn’t possibly keep any secrets from the Boss.
"Yes, I did see him. And I believe you must have heard from the others, too. That day, I happened to rescue him."
"But don’t worry, Boss. No matter what, I wouldn’t interfere in anything between you two. I think he has a lot of your brother’s qualities."
"Not only does he look very much like him, but his demeanor and other aspects are also quite similar."
Without waiting for her to speak, he went on to say so much.
This really took Liu Jiaxin by surprise.
At first, she thought Brother Chen might not be able to accept this.
But now it seemed that it was all just her own assumption.
She really was overthinking it.
Far from being unaccepting, Brother Chen even encouraged her to seek new happiness.
"Actually, I know that all these days, you may not have been able to let him go, but no matter what, he has been gone for so many years. I think you should seek true happiness. I believe his spirit in heaven would want you to be well."
When he said this, to be honest, Liu Jiaxin’s heart was deeply moved.
She knew that this man in front of her truly had her best interests at heart; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
He wouldn’t have earnestly spoken these words to her.
So, how could she possibly not know what she should do?
At that moment, she nodded gently.
"Thank you."
After all these years of support, Brother Chen was more like family to her, not just a subordinate.
Therefore, she often discussed and made decisions with Brother Chen.
And he was indeed very loyal.
He had never betrayed her over the years, and he was very capable in his work, never making any mistakes. It seemed he was born with talent in this area.
After hearing his words, Brother Chen simply laughed and waved his hand.
"All right, Boss. You’re really flattering me too much."
"If it weren’t for you and Brother, I might still be scavenging trash, or I might have died long ago from not finding enough trash."
"If it hadn’t been for you two, I could have died that winter. No matter what, I will definitely repay your kindness."
"So all that I do now is voluntary, and it’s what I should do. You shouldn’t feel too guilty."
When he said this,
Liu Jiaxin also gently nodded.
Truth be told, there was indeed a very memorable story between them.
At that time, they had just started from scratch.
That period was truly painful.
Because at the beginning, they indeed encountered a lot of difficulties and setbacks, and since they had no prior experience, they were sure to be bullied.
But even under such circumstances, they brought back the man they saw in the snow, wearing only a tattered coat, who was more than a few years older than them but had fallen on hard times for certain reasons.
Eventually, he became one of their best subordinates.
And the man, now known as Brother Chen, gradually got back on his feet.
He could do almost any task with great proficiency, hardly ever making any mistakes.
Later on, even his combat skills greatly improved.
It mainly had to do with the fact that he was naturally tall and strong, and his physical abilities were quite remarkable. With just a bit of potential unleashed, he was able to excel in his duties.
"But what exactly happened that day? Tell me about it in detail."
Liu Jiaxin quickly asked, wanting to clear up the confusion in her mind.
What her subordinate had said earlier was a bit unclear, and she didn’t quite understand it.
Now she wanted to hear what Brother Chen had to say.
Now that the Boss had asked, he naturally wouldn’t hide anything.
He quickly recounted the incidents of that day in full detail to Liu Jiaxin.
After hearing his account, Liu Jiaxin also found it incredibly unbelievable.
She had not anticipated that those people’s desire for revenge was so strong.
