"But~"

Jiang Kaichen fiddled with the whiskey glass in his hand. He felt extremely reluctant to be separated from Tang Wenwan again.

"You can't just hand over Old Ginger now in exchange for the peace of your wife and children, right?"

Guan Benliangxiong leaned against the sofa, trying to figure out his reaction.

To be honest, this choice is not easy for anyone now. Although such a big accident happened at Zhengda, it is also the most important moment for the handover. Old man Jiang has not used all his tricks. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a test for the successor.

"It's a shame that you've spent ten years to get to where you are now, and now you're leaving the table like this."

During the two years of cooperation, Guan Ben Liangxiong had witnessed this man's decisiveness in killing. From the perspective of a hero recognizing another hero, he really didn't want to see him fall in love at this time.

Jiang Kaichen's fingers holding the wine glass had turned white. He knew very well that as long as he held on, Zhengda and even the entire industrial chain behind it would be in his pocket.

However, I would have to miss the opportunity to know and be with Tang Wenwan for this. How many decades can I afford to miss?

"In fact, I have found a place that is absolutely safe and I want to put her there temporarily."

Jiang Kai was silent for a long time. Perhaps he could not hold it in any longer, so he slowly told Guan Ben Liangxiong what was in his heart.

"what do you mean?"

Guan Ben Liangxiong looked at him somewhat confused.

If they can chase us all the way to Japan, where else is safe?

"An island. I actually have an island. I want Wanwan to take shelter on that island for a while before I sort out everything."

"That island..."

"Are you trying to isolate and hide my teacher from the world?!"

Before Jiang Kaichen could finish his words, Guan Ben Liangxiong shouted in disbelief.

"Why?"

"No wonder she wanted to run away, she was a prophet..."

After saying that, he did not forget to add that he looked at him with disgust.

"How can this be called a closure?"

Jiang Kaichen straightened his body and glared back unwillingly, feeling very surprised that he could have such an idea.

"Can you bear being isolated from the world on an island for a year or two?"

Guan Ben Liangxiong said angrily, and the sympathy points for him were plummeting...

"Can this be the same?"

"What's the difference?"

“Who doesn’t have a soul that yearns for freedom?”

"Not to mention my teacher is such a god-like figure."

Guan Ben Liang Xiong added, and did not forget to roll his eyes at Guan Ben Liang Xiong.

Jiang Kaichen was attacked fiercely and stared at Guan Ben Liangxiong in a daze. He didn't expect his reaction to be so intense.

"I'm telling you, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you force the teacher to run away, I won't help you."

Guan Ben Liangxiong looked at him in a daze, and did not forget to pat him on the shoulder and add something, looking very disappointed in him.

Just as the two of them were drinking face to face because of their disagreement on Tang Wenwan's matter and couldn't continue the conversation.

They didn't realize that the protagonist they were discussing had been standing outside the door for a long time.

It was indeed the same fate, Tang Wenwan sighed in her heart.

The scene of being imprisoned in the castle on the island in his previous life reappeared in his mind. Those days when he was alone were so desolate that he could not forget them when he thought about them now.

She silently touched her not-too-bulging belly again, thinking: Son, I really don’t know whether your coming now is a blessing or a curse.

"Teacher, we have been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?"

Just as I was about to turn around, Ishino Koji's voice came from behind.

The two helpless men in the study turned around when they were called. The figure imprinted on the window frame frightened them so much that they sat up straight at the same time.

When Jiang Kaichen went over to open the door, Tang Wenwan had already walked towards the studio with Ishino Koji.

Guan Ben Liangxiong, who followed him, patted him on the shoulder and gave him a look that told him to wish him well.

"Serina is also interested in painting?"

When Guan Ben Liangxiong and Jiang Kaichen walked into the studio together, they happened to hear Tang Wenwan asking Serina with a smile.

"She's not very good at drawing, but she has her own unique opinions on paintings."

Without waiting for Serina to answer, Ishino Koji answered for her first. It seems that the two of them have been communicating quite well during this period.

Serina was standing in front of the group of arhats painted by Tang Wenwan in the style of Ukiyo-e, concentrating intently.

“Tell me, what do you think of these paintings?”

Tang Wenwan smiled and walked behind Serina and said.

Serina turned around and noticed that Tang Wenwan was standing behind her at some point.

She smiled embarrassedly, and asked a little excitedly:

"Did you draw all these Arhat paintings? They give me a sense of transcendence.

Does each Arhat represent a practitioner seeking liberation? I am very curious about their images and the stories behind them. "

Tang Wenwan nodded:

“Yes, every Arhat you see is what I want to bring to the viewer’s thinking and exploration.”

Serina turned back to look at the Arhat in the painting in front of her and thought deeply:

“These exaggerated images seem to remind us of the difference between reality and illusion in life. They made me think about what is real and what is illusion in life.”

Tang Wenwan smiled and nodded:

“That’s right, what I want to show is the impermanence of life and the relationship between dependent origination and cause and effect.

Through my works, I hope to tell everyone to face reality, transcend the constraints of desire, and pursue inner peace and liberation. "

Serina took a deep breath, and thoughts about life, death, and transcendence surged in her mind:

"Each Arhat image seems to be struggling with life and death. From it, I feel the exploration of the meaning of life and the desire for transcendence."

Tang Wenwan's eyes showed admiration:

“That’s right, Serina. This is indeed the philosophical thinking I hope to convey through my works, to trigger the viewer’s deep thinking about life and existence, and to inspire the awakening of the soul.

Are you a philosophy major? Few people can understand my work so thoroughly. "

Tang Wenwan pulled Serina's watch and raised it in surprise, then looked at Ishino Koji and felt that his evaluation of Serina was indeed true.

"I...I usually like to think about random things when I'm alone, and I read a lot of different books."

Serina suddenly felt embarrassed after receiving such high praise.

"I am studying sociology now. I chose the subject randomly because I didn't know anything at that time. I still don't understand it now."

She explained with a blushing face, until she looked up and saw Jiang Kaichen and Guan Ben Liangxiong also walked in, then she quickly lowered her head and hid behind Tang Wenwan.

Only now did she understand why Jiang Kaichen never bothered to even look at her, and where Tang Wenwan's pride and composure came from when she first entered the door.

Now I secretly looked at these two people again and was shocked to realize how ignorant I was of my own abilities.
