Chapter 535: An Old Expert from the Southern Star Country
That night, Liu Chen wanted to take advantage of the time to send his father and them back to see the situation outside, but Ji Linyuan offered to drive them back, and Liu Chen couldn't refuse, and there was still something to do here, so he agreed.
After Ji Linyuan and the others left, Liu Chen and Qi Dongsi found Ouyang Cheng and discussed about Ouyang Lan. According to Ouyang Cheng, he had persuaded the old people in the family to agree to the plan they had discussed earlier to preserve Ouyang Lan's body forever.
In this matter, in fact, thanks to Ouyang Lan's grandmother, she is a more superstitious person in some ways, she thinks that as long as people can keep their bodies complete after death, there will be a day of resurrection in the future. Although this is a beautiful fantasy and a spiritual sustenance, it is precisely because of this concept planted in her heart that she helped her son-in-law successfully convince a large family.
Liu Chen confirmed the news to Uncle Yan again, and the embalming division of the body from Nanxing Country had been determined to arrive at the provincial airport tomorrow morning. Qi Dongsi asked Chen Ziqiang and Feng Jun to find an absolutely secret place. Originally, he needed to do this in person, but because he really couldn't get out, he could only ask the two brothers.
This night, Qi Dongsi didn't sleep all night again, his mind was very heavy, all kinds of complicated emotions came to his heart, the rest of the things were all unknown, he didn't know if he had made a mistake in this decision, whether he was a little selfish, but thinking back to Ouyang Lan's tragic death, thinking that those who were poisoned were still alive and well, he must not take it lightly, be selfish now, and he will not leave regrets in the future.
This night is also a long time for Liu Chen, the safety of his family is what he is most worried about, and there is still Ouyang Lan's matter that needs to be dealt with at the moment, with Roman Lang Song and Hongyu Sun Quan taking the lead, it is also imminent to deal with them, Guo Taipei and the old man are also like two stones in their hearts, and it may not be so easy to deal with. The most important thing is how to reorganize the strength on his side, Ouyang Lan's accident hit Qi Dongsi very hard, if it is just by relying on the impulse of hatred, it is not a good way.
Counting it again, there is also the problem of Xiaomei's household registration, which will inevitably take some energy, these are all things that must be solved by yourself, and Liu Chen's pressure is also quite great.
"Come one by one, take care of the things in front of you first. Liu Chen said to himself in his heart.
Early the next morning, Liu Chen personally drove to the provincial airport to pick up this expert from Nanxing Country who came from afar, and Uncle Yan went with him.
Liu Chen drove Uncle Yan to the provincial airport, and on the way, he asked Uncle Yan about the expert.
"Uncle Yan, how did you know that expert?"
Uncle Yan recalled: "Back then, I was with your master, and our Dragon and Tiger Special Combat Team was on a mission in the Southern Star Country, when this expert was kidnapped by the rebels on the way to the presidential palace, and we happened to meet him, so we rescued him. ”
"Oh, is this expert amazing?"
Uncle Yan's eyes lit up, and he proudly introduced his expert friend: "It's beyond your imagination, he is from Nanxing Country, but he has been studying and studying in the West, and he specially came back from the West after being invited by the president." He has excellent embalming technology, and many government leaders have preserved their bodies, and he has also developed a unique embalming technology that can be embalmed without destroying any body organs. He did not patent the technology and never made it public, so many government leaders invited him to pay a very high price, which is why the rebels hijacked him. ”
"How much does it cost?"
"Those leaders bid over 100 million. ”
"It's so high!" Liu Chen was shocked when he heard this price, and then asked: "Uncle Yan, can you tell him, is it okay to pay in installments?"
Uncle Yan saw the worry on Liu Chen's face, it was very rare, he didn't expect Liu Chen to worry about money, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, in fact, you can rest assured about the cost part, he has a very strange temper, he never does it for bad people, only for good people, and the price is set according to his mood, after he heard about Ouyang Lan's deeds, he was very willing to help, of course, because our Dragon and Tiger Special Combat Team had saved him, he always wanted to repay the favor, after I invited him, he promised to help for free." ”
"Really, that's great!" Liu Chen's mood immediately improved, and the worry on his face disappeared, after listening to Uncle Yan's description, he couldn't wait to meet this strange-tempered expert.
Liu Chen and the others rushed to the provincial airport, there was still about half an hour before the plane arrived, they sat in the car and waited, and talked about the last operation.
Because of Ouyang Lan's accident, a resounding victory turned into a complete failure, not only did not solve the hidden dangers of the old man and Guo Taipei, but also made Ouyang Lan pay the price of his life.
"This price is too big, too big...... Liu Chen sighed as he put one hand on the car window, stared ahead.
Uncle Yan's face also became much more solemn, he was one of the main planners of this operation, and it was also his task to rescue Ouyang Lan at that time, he felt regret and self-blame for not discovering Ouyang Lan's situation in time. As he was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, he had experienced some painful failures, but he only felt extremely remorseful this time, not only because of the previous incident, he was surrounded by the captain, but also because the price this time was really too painful, Ouyang Lan could have survived, but in the end he died innocently and tragically.
Just when the two of them were immersed in sadness, Uncle Yan's mobile phone rang.
"He's here!" Uncle Yan pointed to his mobile phone and said to Liu Chen, and then picked up the phone: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, hello, have you arrived?"
Zhou Lao replied on the phone: "Well, Mr. Yan, I just got off the plane and was leaving the airport. ”
"Okay, you go ahead, we'll be waiting for you at the exit. ”
Uncle Yan hung up the phone and immediately took Liu Chen to the exit of the airport to wait, and a few minutes later, a tall and thin man walked out of the crowd with a suitcase, and his lush white hair was particularly conspicuous.
Uncle Yan waved his hand to the other party and shouted, "Mr. Zhou, this way!"
Zhou Lao waved in response and walked towards them.
After receiving it, Uncle Yan introduced as an intermediary: "Welcome Mr. Zhou from afar, let me introduce, Mr. Zhou, this is my nephew, named Liu Chen." Then he turned to Liu Chen's side and said, "This is the famous old Mr. Zhou Yunzhou." ”
Liu Chen immediately stretched out his hands to shake hands with Mr. Zhou, and said respectfully: "Welcome Mr. Zhou, I am Liu Chen." ”
"Hello hello, I've heard your name, young man, young and promising, haha. Zhou Lao also shook hands with Liu Chen warmly and praised Liu Chen.
"Mr. Zhou, you have won the prize. ”
"Hehe, let's go back to the river. ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, let's ask here. Uncle Yan took Zhou Lao to the car.
In the car, Uncle Yan and Zhou Lao talked about the past, chatted about some things that happened in Nanxing Country back then, and also talked about the current situation in Nanxing Kingdom.
Although the current situation has eased compared to the past, the contradictions between the government and the rebels have not been fundamentally resolved, and bloody clashes will occur from time to time. Due to the intervention of external forces, the rebels were strong, and the government forces relied on the resourcefulness and tenacity of Commander Tao Jingyun to withstand the rebels' repeated attacks.
Uncle Yan listened to Zhou Lao's account of the domestic situation in Nanxing Kingdom, and sighed with emotion, it seems that the high-level judgment of the situation in Nanxing Country is correct, and the situation in Nanxing Country has a long way to go if it wants to stabilize.
Later, Zhou Lao took the initiative to talk about the purpose of coming north to Jiangxia this time, and he asked, "I want to know some about the other party's situation, is it okay?"
Uncle Yan looked at Liu Chen and explained, "Elder Zhou wants to know something about Xiaolan so that he can take appropriate measures. ”
Liu Chen looked into the rearview mirror of the car and asked, "Old Zhou, what do you want to know?"
"The cause of her death. Zhou Lao said bluntly.
Liu Chen confessed: "She was given the poison Tianxiangsan, and then she was mixed with the opposite Dixun in the antidote, and the two substances reacted, causing her internal organs to fail. ”
"Heavenly incense and earth fragrance?" Zhou Lao was surprised when he heard Liu Chen's story, and then fell into deep thought.
Uncle Yan saw that Elder Zhou seemed to be surprised by these two substances, so he asked, "Elder Zhou, what's wrong?"
"I have been exposed to these two substances, and when I was doing research in the West, they were actually ......."
"Actually, what?"
Zhou Lao gently pressed his temples with his fingers, was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head and said, "In fact, the organ failure caused by these two substances is not irreversible. ”
Zhou Lao's words immediately shocked Liu Chen and Uncle Yan, especially Liu Chen, who immediately realized the meaning of Zhou Lao's words, "Old Zhou, what do you mean...... Can you still save it?"
Zhou Lao immediately explained: "I don't mean that, organ failure and recovery only exist in theory, and there has not been a similar situation in the world." ”
"Then at least theoretically, is it?" Liu Chen reacted relatively much, he saw hope from Zhou Lao's words, and saw the hope of Ouyang Lan's resurrection.
"Theoretically, yes, but in practice, the probability is very, very small. ”
Zhou Lao didn't want Liu Chen to have too many expectations for this, but Liu Chen said very seriously: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to give it a try, Zhou Lao, I beg you." ”
Liu Chen actually said the word "begging", which shows the sincerity of his attitude, which makes Uncle Yan and Zhou Lao feel incredible, Uncle Yan knows that Liu Chen never asks for people easily.
Uncle Yan's eyes turned to Zhou Lao again, he also supported Liu Chen's decision, after all, he also had to bear a lot of responsibility for Ouyang Lan's matter.
"Elder Zhou, if there is a glimmer of hope, we all hope that you can give it a try. ”
