Chapter 112: Blind Daredevil Matthew Joins

Matthew looked at Chen Ye in confusion and thought, "He is trying to recruit me. Doesn't he know that I am not the same as them?"

Chen Ye smiled and said to Matthew: "Although we are not the same kind of people, we all have a common goal, which is to make Hell's Kitchen better, right? There is no conflict."

It can be seen from the last time Matthew supported Lao Ma and Master Ye that he is not a stubborn person. As long as he can make his hometown of Hell's Kitchen better, Matthew will do everything he can.

Matthew expressed his full agreement. Indeed, if it was for Hell's Kitchen, Matthew would be very willing to do it.

However, after some thought, Matthew decided to reject Chen Ye's invitation.

He raised his head, looked into Chen Ye's eyes, and said firmly: "Chen Ye, I am very grateful for your invitation. Your proposal makes me very excited. However, I still want to do it according to my own ideas. I believe that only by using my own way can I truly save those in need."

Chen Ye was a little surprised by Matthew’s words, but he did not give up.

He understood Matthew's persistence and stubbornness, but he was also aware of Matthew's current situation.

He stepped forward, looked into Matthew's eyes, and said seriously: "Matthew, I understand your thoughts, but I hope you can look at yourself now. Your life is already a mess, how can you have the energy to save others? You need to take care of yourself first, so that you can better help others."

Chen Ye strongly disagrees with Matthew's idea. He thinks it's a good idea to make his life better if he has the ability to do so.

Even though I am not doing well in my life, I still want to help others.

But in fact, no one will remember Matthew at all. All Matthew did was just to impress himself.

Matthew was shaken by Chen Ye's words. He smiled helplessly and said, "Sometimes I really hate my own incompetence. Chen Ye, we all want Hell's Kitchen to be better. You have saved the entire Hell's Kitchen."

"And I didn't change anything, instead my life got worse and worse."

"Sometimes, I really hate my ability to hear strangers' calls for help every night, and I can't help but help. I try my best, but I can't help everyone."

Matthew's words revealed a deep sense of powerlessness, as if he had fallen into an abyss of despair and could not extricate himself.

This feeling of powerlessness also made Chen Ye feel a little helpless, but he knew that if he didn't change Matthew's mind as soon as possible, he might continue to be depressed and eventually collapse completely.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound gentler. "Matthew, you are not wrong. You have saved many people, but this is far from enough. You have to change the environment."

"It's like if you saved a demon in hell, the demon would not become an angel because of your rescue. Instead, it would be regarded as a heretic because it is incompatible with other demons, and heretics would be eliminated."

“Only if you turn hell into heaven will you have a chance to turn all the demons into angels.”

"One person cannot save everyone. That's why you should join us."

Matthew raised his head and looked into Chen Ye's eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ye continued, "Everyone here is working hard to make Hell's Kitchen better. You can see it yourself. Hell's Kitchen is getting better and better. This proves that our direction is right, so you should join in."

After listening to Chen Ye's words, Matthew began to agree with Chen Ye. Recently, he rarely heard cries for help. On the contrary, he heard a lot of laughter.

"Am I really going to keep making mistakes?" Matthew couldn't help but think.

Chen Ye saw Matthew's hesitation and said quickly, "It just so happens that Wanda has taken over Jin Bing's industry and needs a few lawyers. The newly opened school will inevitably have disputes with the government. You can handle these things."

"You can monitor Jin Bing's industry to see if there are any illegal activities. Isn't that good?"

As Matthew listened to Chen Ye's words, his inner turmoil was like the ripples on a lake blown by the wind, growing bigger and bigger.

He has always believed that the path he has taken is correct, but now, he began to doubt whether what he has always insisted on is not entirely correct.

Matthew looked at Chen Ye, who was much younger than him. He didn't expect that in the end, he, a lawyer, didn't even understand things as well as Chen Ye did.

This made Matthew admire Chen Ye.

He smiled and said to Chen Ye, "It would have been better if you had shown up in Hell's Kitchen earlier." This sentence showed both his admiration for Chen Ye and his regret for his past.

Matthew wished that he had lived in Hell's Kitchen managed by Chen Ye when he was born. Then perhaps his life would not be as bad as it is now.

Chen Ye heard this and said to Matthew with a smile, "It's not too late now." His tone was full of confidence and determination, as if to say that no matter when you start, as long as you are determined, you can change everything.

Matthew was deeply moved by Chen Ye's words, and he felt that his heart began to change.

He extended his hand and said sincerely, "Then please give me more guidance in the future, Boss. I will keep an eye on you to prevent you from becoming the second Kingpin."

In fact, before coming, Matthew had investigated Chen Ye for a long time. After this conversation, he also realized that Chen Ye was a partner worthy of fighting side by side. Although Matthew joined Chen Ye, he would still protect Hell's Kitchen in his own way.

Chen Ye held Matthew's hand, his eyes sparkling: "Then you are welcome to join us. Of course, you can keep staring at me. I will not become Kingpin. I will only be Chen Ye."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if telling Matthew that he was a trustworthy person who would lead them to a better future together.

Chen Ye continued to say to Matthew: "Then I will take you to choose a room first, and then you will report to Wanda tomorrow."

"Pietro, take this new partner upstairs to choose a room." Chen Ye then asked Pietro to take Matthew to familiarize himself with the environment and choose a room.

As Pietro and Matthew slowly walked up the stairs, in the corner of the restaurant, the security guard John Wick, who had been slacking off, couldn't help but come closer to Chen Ye, his face full of confusion and curiosity.

"Boss, why do you take such good care of this blind man? Do you have any special feelings for blind men?" John Wick asked bluntly.

The reason why John Wick was so curious was that he happened to witness the conversation between Chen Ye and Matthew while he was making wolfberry tea.

He had never seen Chen Ye persuade others so patiently, especially to a blind man he had never met before.

This caused strong doubts in his mind.

When Chen Ye heard this question, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at John Wick. He frowned slightly and said calmly, "I'm not interested in men."

John Wick was even more confused after hearing this. He asked puzzledly: "Then why did you help him and even invite him to join us?"

Chen Ye took a deep breath, and his eyes became deep and distant.

He spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible sigh in his voice: "I'm just advising another me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight up the stairs, leaving John Wick standing there alone, like a walker in the fog, completely unable to understand the meaning of Chen Ye's words.

Chen Ye added in his mind: "Another self without a system or background, a self who is obviously having a hard time but still remains kind."

The reason why he took such good care of Matthew was not only because Matthew was a blind man, but also because he saw his own shadow in Matthew.

He saw himself without a system or background, the self who still insisted on being kind in a difficult life.

Matthew's appearance was just a small episode for Chen Ye. Chen Ye was looking forward to the system upgrade tomorrow.

After all, Chen Ye is a person with a system. After all, Chen Ye is a person with a system. He knows the importance of the system and looks forward to the system upgrading to bring him greater convenience and advantages.
