Chapter 4258: Big cleaning

When Lin Rui, Crystal and others returned to Deng Shen Island, the core area of ​​the island was in a mess. But the situation is clearly under Aladdin's control.
"What's the matter? Where is the sir?" Crystal grabbed a guard and asked.
"Something has happened on the island, and the communication system has not been repaired. But the husband is safe, he is waiting for you." The guard nodded.
"What's the matter with these corpses?" Crystal saw several guards cleaning the corpses and blood stains.
"Sorry, miss, I can't say more, we still have work to finish." The guard shook his head, waved to let a small team of guards come over, and escorted Crystal, Lin Rui and others in.
In the study, Aladdin was still sitting in a wheelchair, and when Crystal came back, he smiled slightly. "I'm back? I notified the kitchen and made you your favorite snack."
"Father, what's going on?" Crystal asked in a low voice.
"Didn't you already know, why ask again?" Aladdin whispered.
"Parker..." Crystal hesitated to speak.
"Dead, and some of his men. Although his betrayal has nothing to do with the secret society, out of caution, I still have to purge some of his men." Aladdin replied.
"How many people died?" Crystal said in surprise.
"Fifty-seven," Aladdin replied.
"So many people? Are they all involved in this matter?" Crystal said in surprise.
Aladdin was silent for a while, and replied, "That's not necessarily. Many of them are only close to Parker. However, it happened suddenly, and I have no room for fault. It is inevitable that someone will be innocently involved."
"So you ordered them to be killed? No wonder I saw the guards cleaning the corpses when I came back." Crystal looked at Aladdin in disbelief, "Parker has followed you for many years, and some of his men also followed you. Old man for many years. How can you..."
"Because of this, they are more dangerous." Aladdin whispered, "Some people are not involved in this matter at all. But they are Parker's confidants, and I get rid of Parker to make them very dissatisfied. Such dissatisfaction, perhaps not It will burst out immediately, but it will accumulate.
Once they find the opportunity to break out, it will be even more terrifying. So the safest way is a thorough cleaning. "
"Just because of your unfounded suspicion, you killed 57 people. Among them, many of them may be innocent. Why do you want to do this?" Crystal couldn't help loudly.
"For you!" Aladdin said solemnly, "I did this for you! Do you think I am cruel by nature? Do you think I like to kill? Wrong!
Do you know what it means to me to kill Parker? He is my friend, and even if he betrays, he is still one of my closest people. But the betrayal itself cannot be forgiven. If I forgive him, it would be a big mistake. "
"I'm not saying he deserves to be forgiven, but it shouldn't have affected so many people..." Crystal said loudly.
"These people are Parker’s confidantes. Their loyalty to Parker is like Duncan’s loyalty to me. We kill Parker and they will resent me, but they dare not oppose me. Because I am still alive, they may be able to bear it. Take this breath. But what if I die? At that time, you will not be able to deal with these people. The purge is a helpless choice. It is the only one." Aladdin said calmly.
"So you ordered more than fifty people to be killed, even if some of them have nothing to do with this matter?" Crystal angrily said.
"Yes." Aladdin replied. "I am doing the right thing. I must protect my family, which is you.
And I am a person who is paralyzed in bed and needs Duncan's help even to sit up. What can I rely on to protect you? Rely on my mind and judgment, and more on me, have a bunch of loyal men.
When loyalty creates problems, it must be dealt with decisively. There is no room for negotiation. I know that if I do this, the innocent will be affected, but this is the result of betrayal. "
"This is something a madman can do. You are no different from those lunatics in the secret society." Crystal turned away angrily.
Aladdin sighed and turned to look at Lin Rui, "Mr. Rick, I made you laugh. Like all parents and children, Crystal and I have our own problems."
"This is your business, it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to explain to me." Lin Rui shook his head.
"I like your attitude." Aladdin smiled. "Actually, Crystal and I have different opinions on how to manage our business. I am an old-school person, and she has her own thoughts and opinions."
"Actually, our mission is over. I came here with Jingjing because she was worried that you would be unpredictable. As a result, you are not only safe and sound, but you are killing you here." Lin Rui shrugged and said, "I just thought Ask, you have spent a lot of effort on this Deng Shen Island. Don’t you worry that this incident will reveal the secrets of Deng Shen Island?"
"Of course not. Dengshen Island is a formal research institution except for the core area. People working here are also doing real research work. The core area is isolated from other areas.
They do hear gunfire. We will explain that pirates attempted to invade, but with the efforts of the security department, the pirates did not succeed at all. And we will convince people working on the island that we have the ability to protect their safety. "Aladdin smiled slightly, "For most people on the island, this is just an episode." "
"So the death of more than fifty people is just an episode." Lin Rui nodded.
"Neither you nor I do charity. Kindness has nothing to do with us, and sometimes sacrifice is inevitable." Aladdin smiled.
Lin Rui was silent for a while, "Sometimes I despise you very much, but I don't know if there is a certain amount of fear in this contempt.
But you are indeed a terrible person. If I'm not wrong, you should be aware of Parker's betrayal in advance, but you don't know if he has any connection with the secret society, or maybe it was just for money.
That's why you are scheming, see what he will do?
Otherwise you will not ask us to take charge of this task. Because you know we will do our best to protect the crystal. Not because she is your daughter, but because of our personal relationship with Crystal. Am I right? "
"Only a small part is as you said. I believe you will protect the crystal, but I really don't know that Parker will betray. He has always been one of the people I trust.
And he knew me very well, so I didn't get any information beforehand. Aladdin sighed. "I will not use my daughter to test the loyalty of my subordinates." "
"I believe it, so I will come with her." Lin Rui nodded.
