Baishe, whose tall body was kneeling in front of the monitor like a child, almost fainted as he watched Wang Meng on the screen.

Wang Meng stood at a deadlock for a full minute before finally lowering the gun.

Baishe immediately collapsed on the ground, pressing his hand to his racing heart. It felt as if the world had nearly collapsed just now.

He slowly turned his head to look back at the old man, who was also watching the monitor intently.

If I find something to knock the old man out with, will things work out? Baishe wondered. But the old man said that without him, no one could leave the factory.

“You see? This is the best part, when a stubborn person meets reality and begins to fall apart,” the old man said to Baishe.

Baishe looked at the screen and saw that Wang Meng was standing there like a walking corpse.

“I don’t think there’s anything good about it.”

“You must have never been tortured by a stubborn person in your life. Have you ever met someone you wanted to help, but the other person just didn’t want it? Even when all of their actions were wrong, they still wouldn’t accept your help. For them, turning back wasn’t an option. They would rather destroy everything instead.”

Baishe thought it over for a moment before saying, “Whenever I encounter this kind of situation, I usually just let them die.”

“Sometimes this person is your closest relative,” the old man said. “It’s really aggravating.”

“If they chose this path, then let them bear the consequences themselves.”

“There are some people you just can’t bear to watch destroy themselves because of their own stupidity. This is because they are relatively important to you. It’s just like how you can’t ignore your friend here,” the old man said. “At that time, I realized that when people like this destroy themselves, they’ll regret and collapse in the face of their own stupidity without anyone around. They destroyed themselves just like that because the people who had tried to help them were long gone and let them be. Will they regret it when they find out that they made all the wrong choices and wasted their lives? Will they regret that not only did they waste their lives, but they also gave up the help that countless people offered?”

“Do they?”

“When someone is around, they’ll pretend to be cool and accept the result for the sake of saving face, but it’s when no one is around that I want to see how those people regret their choices and fall apart.” The old man glanced at the monitor, “Your friend’s little scene was very good. After all, ending your own life is usually the first choice for stubborn people like him. It’s just that if he doesn’t succeed, then the next thing he’ll face is utter despair.”

Baishe looked at the old man and suddenly asked, “Don’t people suddenly become very flexible? Aren’t there cases where they’re suddenly not stubborn?”

“There is no such possibility.”

“It is if they’re desperate enough.”

“If there’s a person who can change his personality like that, then it means that his stubbornness is just a strategy and his heart is calm. Your boss is one such example,” the old man explained. “His personality is just one of his cards. He can play whichever card he wants and completely control his emotions, but this Manager Wang is obviously not on the same level. He does have strong principles in his heart, so I want to see how he handles such a situation.”

Baishe looked at the old man, who motioned for him to take a closer look.

Baishe glanced back at Wang Meng on the screen, only to see that Wang Meng was banging his head against the iron gate.

“The ultimate pain actually comes from the principles in their hearts. These principles aren’t really difficult in nature. They have no power when compared with the lack of strength and food, but they leave a very painful feeling in your heart,” the old man said.

“People are ridiculous,” Baishe answered awkwardly.

“Manager Wang has to look for some clues in religion if he wants to break through his predicament,” the old man continued. “This is the character given to him by fate, the character that gives him pain. Ever since he was born, he was doomed to be unable to understand this, but this just might be an opportunity.”

Wang Meng’s head was covered in blood and he had no strength.

Baishe prayed silently in his heart, Wang Meng, think. Use your brain.
