"You mean, guilty of the same mistakes as your secretary? You should have more excuses, Wren. ”

Wren threw the cigarette butt into the river, the rushing water pounding the embankment, the recent continuous rains had caused the river to swell, and it was high tide time, and the tide and the flood rushing down the river were constantly churning the Thames.

"The president is not what you say. Liu Zhan continued, "Sounds like he knows a lot. I told him, "When I went to Illion, I found the underground vault of your Prime Minister's Pavilion, and some of your and Corleone's affairs, as well as Zhou Ke. "

"That idiot!" Wren swallowed back the following words, knowing that he had better listen to Liu Zhan.

"I'm not surprised, Wren, that you and President Ilian are so good that you wear the same pants, but sometimes you want to strangle each other, and sometimes I wonder if you're going to have an exclusive parking space in the presidential palace, or if you have some direct assistance after being a general's pug or something. ”

"Listen, Liu Zhan, what do you mean by saying so much? I'm willing to help the general, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"By the way, I talked to a friend in London, and she asked around, and you know what I'm talking about, it seems that there's a consortium that is raising a huge amount of money to invest in Ilian, and you have a share of this consortium. "

"Is there something wrong? Ilian needs a new airport, a new marina, a new hotel, a new highway, damn it!"

Wren was angry, indicating that he was afraid.

At that moment, an ambulance whizzed past the bridge with flashing warning lights and sped towards the hospital on the other side of the river.

They watched as the ambulance moved away, and it was probably the MPs of Yangglu lying inside, some of whom died in the ambulances.

"So you're going to take advantage of the opportunity to get some money and leave, right?"

"Liu Zhan, for God's sake, Ilian needs to improve, what's wrong with me doing this?" Wren pulled out his cigarette again.

"I think you're deliberately implying to me that you welcome someone like me to join you and make a place for me in your business. ”

"What? after you turned Illion upside down?"

Ah, it seems that Wren didn't tell the truth, and left a hand, "Wren, your fox tail is exposed. "

"I need Yangglu to help Ilian build the new airport, that's all, nothing else. "

Wren lit his cigarette and took a deep breath. His hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and Liu Zhan noticed that his cufflinks glittered in the dim light, looking valuable.

"Your efforts to improve Illian's infrastructure are very much appreciated, Rennes. I'm sure your efforts have paid off handsomely, but I don't see a record in your Ilian account. ”

Wren's whole body shuddered violently, as if he had been suddenly stabbed by a red-hot fire stick.

For people like Thiago, official corruption is a crime, worthy of hanging, and the worse the death, the better.

Therefore, the property register is the death row wagon that escorts prisoners to the guillotine during the Ilian screening.

Therefore, in order to mingle under Thiago, all officials must report any financial changes truthfully, and the rules require officials to treat the register as faithfully as they do their own marriage vows.

So, this matter is only a superficial problem of corruption, but there are many powerful officials, such as people like Wren, whose private treasury projects have begun to be built on a large scale.

"Die, Liu Zhan. Wren snapped, "Don't teach me a false lesson, not everyone is a-stirring stick like you, doing nothing all day long, and still having endless money to spend." "

Maybe on another occasion, Liu Zhanzhan will defend himself. Whether it is Donglong's career in the past or the current transition period, Liu Zhan has always been dedicated and hardworking

Do.

But he has long been used to other people's eyes.

"I can probably guess what's going on, Wren. Not only does Thiago not know about your little tricks, but I'm afraid the generals don't know anything about it. All the property is not in your name, you are not that stupid, I think, you must have transferred all the valuable things. "

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not the one who is talking nonsense, Wren!"

Wren threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and immediately lit another cigarette.

"If Thiago knows, you're dead. Liu Zhan said.

"Garbage ZF!

"Speaking of garbage, it reminds me of the art in your Prime Minister's Pavilion, and your very rich collection of antiques. ”

Wren began to cough violently, so violently that he seemed to be about to break his lungs.

"The military has bought you with a collection of art, isn't it, Wren? A few paintings of Pissarro and Picasso, and X bribes? I must admit that you have a very high sense of connoisseurship. You can avoid Thiago and monetize these collectibles anywhere in the world.

Art is your pension, it holds its value like gold, and it is more reliable than the dollar of the meter. ”

Wren looked down at the black water churning up and down, and then looked around the terrace, making sure no one was hearing their conversation, "What do you want?" His voice was hoarse.

"What do I want?" Liu Zhan whispered, "I want to know what's going on with Illian. I want to know why you need new airports, new hotels, new roads. I wonder what that Central Asian bastard country wants to do when it dresses itself up and seduces a bunch of stinking and dirty rich people. I'm wondering right now. "

Wren's body suddenly flipped out of the railing, and in front of him was the oily river water, and his legs were firmly held by Liu Zhan.

The contents of his pocket fell into the river, one by one, one by one, a lighter, a pen, a mobile phone, a key, a wallet, and in an instant it was swallowed up by the filthy water, except for the pack of cigarettes he had just smoked, drifting farther and farther away with the tumbling water.

The icy water of the river splashed and threw itself in Wren's face, and he screamed in fear.

"You're crazy!"

"That's right. Liu Zhan replied calmly, letting go slightly, and Wren slid down a little.

"You're not going to let go!"

Wren slipped a little further.

"I can't swim! Wren yelled and cried.

"That's not the answer I'm looking for, Wren. "

Wren tried to turn his head and look around, hoping that someone would see him and come to save him, but the dark terrace was empty, it was a winter night, and Liu Zhan deliberately chose a dark corner.

Wren felt like the belt around his waist was about to break off with his ass.

"Alright! Well," he cried out for mercy.

Liu Zhan pretended not to hear, and Wren's begging for mercy became more and more pitiful, and waited until Liu Zhan felt that he was about to pee his pants, and then dragged him up.

Wren sobbed and slumped on the floor.

Liu Zhan stood in front of Wren and did not let him stand up, Wren looked up at Liu Zhan pitifully, sometimes he protested, sometimes begged for mercy, sometimes wiped his tears of humiliation, but he answered all Liu Zhan's questions honestly.

It wasn't until Liu Zhan finally figured out what was going on that he let Wren get up from the ground.

"You must be crazy! If you let go, I'll die. Wren gasped.

"I know. "

"Liu Zhan, please listen to me. Wren was still trying to defend himself, "It's not my fault, I told you at the beginning, get out of Illion, that's not where you're supposed to be." ”

"You're right. ”

"What you went through there has nothing to do with me. ”

"You're not wrong about that. ”

"But you're bent on destroying me, aren't you?"

"That's right. ”

"For God's sake, why?"

"There are a lot of reasons, mainly for Mary. ”

"I had no idea what had happened to Mary. ”

"Yes, you don't know, but you don't ask a word. After Liu Zhan finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

On the night Liu Zhan went home, he told Cindy everything he knew.

Then none of them spoke, but sat quietly, looking at the fire in the fireplace, and contemplating the possible outcome of the matter.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that there is only one outcome to things.

"I remember your police friend warned you not to take matters into your own hands. Cindy finally spoke.

"He also warned me that I can't press the yellow line when I park. Liu Zhan muttered, "Besides, we're talking about Wren now, that guy isn't human. ”

"Even so. ”

"What do you mean even so, Cindy? I hate the way you look pretentious. God, you're an Ilian. ”

"You're not going to stop there, are you?"

"Of course, there is a wrongdoer, and there is a debtor. ”

"I'm just like you. ”

Liu Zhan turned his head to look at Cindy, "Listen, Cindy, I think I know"

"Shut up, Liu Zhan. ”

"What?"

Cindy's gaze moved away from the fireplace, his eyes were shining, although his body was extremely weak, but his heart was still extremely strong, "Liu Zhan, can you just listen to it once in your life, shut up and listen, listen to me?" Let's do it together, my way. ”

"How, Cindy?" Liu Zhan asked softly, in fact, he already knew the answer in his heart.

"If you were me, you would choose the way. "

Liu Zhan helped the two of them fill their glasses again, then closed their mouths and listened carefully.

The Ilian state has never been one person who has the final say, but the system.

The system is made up of many parts, and if you take out and destroy some of them, the system becomes unstable, and then it collapses completely.

Thiago knows how the system works, and he is a master player of the Ilian system game, which is why he can hold the presidency for a long time.

The sworn enemy of power is a vacuum, and Thiago knew early on that it was better not to let it exist.

However, the evidence in front of him left him with no choice.

Thiago looked out of his office window for a panoramic view of the city of Ilian. For the sake of his Ilian City, he had to kill the killer. Some of the cities of Illion were not completely loyal to him, there were one or two cities that he had not dared to set foot in for several years, but Illion was his territory, and it was absolutely not okay to be played as a monkey in his own home. On his desk was a folder full of all the shady things Wren had done over the years.

Wren reported to Thiago that the man who cuckolded him had been hanged according to his instructions, and that the Chinese who had turned Illian on their backs had also died and were buried under the snowy mountains.

At that time, Wren swore that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily.

But the president can't help but ask, what about the picture in his hand? The date indicated above was actually last week. The two men in the photograph are standing in front of the lower house of the country of Yangglu, shaking hands and smiling at the camera, and Thiago feels like they are laughing at himself.

Thiago, of course, doesn't trust a photograph easily, it's easy to fake, and in the course of his presidency, he arranged one or two public trials that were faked, including those that were faked.

A thought popped into his head, maybe the man in the photo of his wife's cheating was not the damn little white face they said they were talking about.
