After making a phone call and asking Zhou Bangguo's location, Lin Xiaotian drove over directly.

When he arrived at the teahouse, Zhou Bangguo looked at him with a smile, and Zhou Dingtian hurriedly poured him tea.

"Old man, I knew you were looking for me, but I really haven't been available lately. Before Lin Xiaotian started drinking tea, he wanted to block Zhou Bangguo's mouth.

Zhou Bangguo smiled bitterly, "You guy, why don't you leave any room for the old man." ”

"Your national security department has a lot of talent. If even you can't solve the problem, it will definitely be a big problem for me. Lin Xiaotian took a sip of tea and said bluntly.

Zhou Bangguo shook his head and sighed: "Is it so exaggerated as you said." I didn't come to you this time for anything else. It's the last time I talked to your Buddha about the parietal bone relics. Now that the major festival of Buddhism is approaching, and the Buddhist festival of Bao'en Temple is about to be held, if I can't recover the Buddha's parietal bone relics, I am afraid that the position of the minister of the state security department will not be able to be kept. ”

"Come on, is it as serious as you say? Besides, who else in this part of China would dare to afford the position of head of the security department. Lin Xiaotian teased.

Zhou Bangguo looked strange, "This is indeed the case. As for my position, to put it mildly, I am a country of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, full of talents, as long as the above is willing, you can find someone to replace me at any time. ”

". Don't think I don't know, you're the number one expert in the national security sector. Although Huaguo is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I really don't believe that there are a few people who can beat you. Lin Xiaotian was quite disdainful.

Zhou Bangguo chuckled, "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, and the world is so big that there are no surprises." Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. If one day you have the opportunity to get in touch with that field, you will know. ”

What does the old man mean by this? Lin Xiaotian was stunned. Could it be that there are many more powerful people than him in the field he has come into contact with?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. The matter of the Buddha's parietal bone relics ......"

Before Zhou Bangguo finished speaking, Lin Xiaotian directly took out a silk package from his arms and handed it over.

Zhou Bangguo took the package and looked at it, and saw that it was the Buddha's parietal bone relic, and was slightly stunned, "When did you get this thing?"

"Last time, when Lin Xiaolong had an accident. Lin Xiaotian stopped at the point.

Zhou Bangguo's face showed a little suspicion, "How did you snatch the relics from Situ Yu?"

"He gave it to me. Lin Xiaotian thought of what Situ Yu said that day, and then asked: "By the way, before he gave me the things, he also asked me to leave a message for your security department, saying that you should keep it and don't lose it again." He also said that when he wanted to use it, he would go and get it again. ”

"Extreme hubris. There was obviously a hint of anger in Zhou Bangguo's eyes.

When Lin Xiaotian saw his appearance, he suddenly thought that although he had always been rumored to be the number one master of the security department in Huaguo, he or outsiders had never seen him make a move, and he couldn't help but be a little curious: "Old man, there is a question I have been curious about for a long time, I don't know if you can answer it for me." ”

"You kid, when did you learn to be polite in front of me?" Zhou Bangguo smiled, and then said cheerfully: "Ask." As long as there are no state secrets involved, and there are some personal privacy that cannot be said, I can tell you. ”

Lin Xiaotian nodded and said seriously: "I've only heard that you are the number one master of Huaguo's security department, but until now, I don't know how powerful you are." ”

"Uncle is very good, how come I've never seen him make a move. Zhou Dingtian was also a little curious.

Zhou Bangguo smiled slightly, "If there is no reference, it is difficult to define whether it is powerful or not." ”

"Am I your opponent?" Lin Xiaotian continued to ask.

"It's not. Zhou Bangguo replied with great confidence.

Lin Xiaotian was not surprised, and asked again: "Then do you think that if my skills match you, how long can I last at most?"

"Conservative estimates, a second. Zhou Bangguo's face was calm.

Lin Xiaotian's pupils shrank suddenly, although he already knew in advance that Zhou Bang would be very powerful, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually say that he could only hold on for a second.

You know, after all, he is a god in the mercenary world, and he represents the best level of individual combat ability in the mercenary world. Even against the original monk, he could last more than ten minutes.

Of course, he also knew that Zhou Bangguo would definitely not panic. Since he said that he could only last a second, it must be because he had that strength.

Zhou Dingtian obviously didn't believe it, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Uncle, you brag again." Master is a well-known god in the mercenary world, known as omnipotent. You actually said that he could only hold on for a second, and this cowhide was a bit too much. ”

"There are people outside of man, there is heaven outside of heaven, and the world is so big that there are no wonders. Zhou Bangguo didn't say those sixteen words, and then added: "When you have the opportunity to get in touch with that field, you will naturally know." ”

"Then I have another problem, old man. Since you are so powerful, why don't you teach Dingtian yourself, but send him to me instead. When Lin Xiaotian asked this question, his eyes were very cautious and he paid attention to his subtle changes. He didn't doubt Zhou Bangguo's strength, but now he was a little suspicious of Zhou Bangguo's motives for sending Zhou Dingtian to him.

Zhou Dingtian also expressed his doubts, "Yes, uncle, if you are really so powerful, why don't you teach me personally?"

"Why wouldn't I want to? It's just that I don't count this matter. A touch of complexity appeared on Zhou Bangguo's face again.

Lin Xiaotian felt a little incredulous, "You are the minister of the dignified national security department, the boss of the Zhou family, and there are other things that you said." ”

"Huaguo Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the Zhou family is nothing. Zhou Bangguo obviously didn't want to say it explicitly, and he stopped when he clicked here.

Although he said it very vaguely, and it was only a few words, Lin Xiaotian heard a lot of useful news from it. One of the most important is that behind Zhou Dingtian, in addition to the national security department, there is a larger and more terrifying force.

Because of the existence of this force, Zhou Bangguo, the ministry and the number one master of the national security department, has no freedom to do things.

Based on this information, Lin Xiaotian had a sense of crisis.

Before, no matter how big things happened, he didn't feel worried, because he always believed that he and his defenders represented the most powerful power in the underground world. But today, after hearing the news of Zhou Bangguo's words, he realized that he was not as strong as he imagined, and the defenders were not as invincible as he imagined.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, one's own strength is crucial. When he found that his strength was not as strong as he imagined, he naturally had a sense of crisis.

Zhou Bangguo sighed, "Forget it, don't talk about it." In addition to the Buddha's parietal bone relics, I have a message to convey to you. ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiaotian detached from his thoughts and looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Bangguo smiled slightly and said seriously: "The latest instructions have been issued from above, and today's matter will not be investigated." In addition, in the future, when you are engaged in Mingzhu activities, as long as you pay attention to the scale, our security department and the central higher authorities will not pursue it. ”

"It's so good, isn't there some conspiracy?" Lin Xiaotian didn't believe that pies would fall from the sky for no reason, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

Zhou Bangguo took a sip of tea and said seriously: "Don't be so dark psychologically, the conspiracy should not be." According to my reckoning, the state should be looking at you now. ”

"No, I'm not ambitious, I'm satisfied to be able to mix up like this. As for the major tasks of the state, please send a letter to the above, and just say that I don't want to accept it. Lin Xiaotian hurriedly refused.

Zhou Bangguo shook his head slowly, "Don't say this kind of thing." The above orders have already been issued, that is, Chrysostom Yuyan, and it will not be changed. You kid do it for yourself. ”

After speaking, he stood up, patted Lin Xiaotian on the shoulder, and left directly.

Seeing him leave, Lin Xiaotian's eyes obviously showed a hint of unease.

Since he entered China, he has been noticed by the people in the national security department, and the people above him must also know what he has done in China. If those people know it, why do they still let themselves go? Is it really examining themselves, preparing to give themselves some important task?

He didn't know.

He only knew that he felt that he was strategizing before, and the development of everything was moving forward smoothly step by step according to his plan. But now, he has the kind of everything he does, and he does it little by little under the gaze of some people above. Even, he suspects that many of his things can be done smoothly because of the push of those who are watching him from behind.

The feeling unnerved him. This uneasiness and the sense of crisis that he had previously felt because he realized that he and his defenders were not strong made him feel very uncomfortable.

Zhou Dingtian and Ghost Hand noticed that his expression was a little wrong, and immediately comforted: "Master, my uncle must be bragging. I've never seen him do anything, how could he possibly beat you in just a second. ”

"Brother Tian, I don't think it's credible either. In the entire mercenary world, except for Situ Yu, I'm afraid that no one's individual combat ability can compare with you. Although Old Man Zhou is a master, at most he is at a level similar to you and you. ”

"I believe the old man's words. He didn't have to lie to me. Lin Xiaotian stood up with a frown, and then said, "It seems that I have to change the development plan of the defenders in Huaguo." ”

"Brother Tian, aren't you ......" The ghost hand wanted to say something, but Lin Xiaotian directly waved his hand to interrupt Jean, and then said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, I want to be quiet." ”

"Who is Jingjing?" Zhou Dingtian deliberately funny.

Ghost Hand didn't react at first, and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed.

Lin Xiaotian was expressionless, and said casually: "You guys continue to drink tea, I'll go outside for a walk." ”

"Wait, Brother Tian (Master), I'll be with you. Ghost Hand and Zhou Dingtian shouted in unison.

"No, I'll do it myself. Lin Xiaotian turned to leave.

After unconsciously walking to the beach, he once again recalled the conversation with Zhou Bangguo. After carefully combing through the clues in those words a few times, he didn't know why, the originally clenched fist actually slowly loosened.
