"So everybody wants to get a head start and come out on top. "

Liu Zhan continued, "Whoever has the ability to make Thiago happy and let him sign will win the competition." Whoever can scratch Thiago's itch will get the key to unlock the treasure trove. Unfortunately, Mr. President is a man with strong animal instincts, who do things without a brain and without instinct. He doesn't trust anyone, he doesn't trust Ilians, he doesn't trust foreigners, he's a moody rhinoceros. ”

A smile tugged at He Ze's lips, "I think the rhinoceros metaphor applies to all ZF players. ”

Liu Zhan bowed slightly in agreement, "The whole plan is like a long-distance race, and the runners are desperately rushing to the finish line while trying their best to get others out. ”

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Cindy, I'd love to know about him. ”

"You know, he's been framed. ”

"Like you framed Wren?"

"It's very similar. Cindy was framed for adultery with the president's wife, disgrace the president. What a simple trick, but very effective, right? A trick that has long been used rotten. You see, Ho Ze, it's not the president's wife who framed Cindy who wants to ruin, it's the local business and the Free Army behind Cindy. Even if the Free Army didn't care whether Cindy lived or died, Thiago would never believe that someone like Cindy had nothing to do with the Free Army or the local businesses of Ilian. Towards the end of the runway, local businesses stumble and go, and everyone else loses a strong competitor. ”

"What a gripping story, Liu Zhan. He Ze said, "Then who would do such a thing?"

"It's possible for everyone. The stakes are too high, and everyone has the potential to kill everyone else. ”

"But who is it?"

"Cindy doesn't know. ”

"I feel sorry for your story. He Ze put a thin fold on the ironed crisp tablecloth and gently smoothed it with the palm of his hand.

"Yes, it's a pity. However, I can speculate that, you see, there is a serious flaw in this plan to get rich overnight, which is that Thiago would not step down, otherwise"

"Of course he's not going to step down, and now he's still president, do you think he's in danger right now?"

"You don't know about Illion's situation, He Ze, after all, you don't know it well. However, it seems to me that getting rid of Wren is very bad for the president, and all kinds of intrigues against him will follow. Also, the anti-ZF movement in Ilian was on the rise, and I met some opposition figures while I was there. In fact, I have been helping the opposition by providing them with financial assistance. ”

"The Free Army?" He Ze made no secret of the disdain in his voice.

"I know, it's a terrible idea. Thiago and Wren are scum, you know, Wren cut off my ears and put a noose around my neck. So, I decided to do something. "

"I notice your ears, I try to avoid one"

"They also killed a friend of mine, a very remarkable woman, her name was Mary. "

"I'm so sorry for what you've been through. But this also shows that meddling in the affairs of Illian is very dangerous. Liu Zhan, don't worry about those things, don't play the role of God. ”

"You can also look at all this from a different angle, He Ze, Wren's death just shows that it is very dangerous to work against me. Liu Zhan said softly, "Or it's very dangerous to go against Cindy. Cindy is a vengeful bastard, and revenge is always avenged. "

"It's his luck to have a friend like you, and I hope it's my luck. Hopefully, though, you don't mind. He Ze glanced at his watch, "You know, I'm going to catch a train. "

"The fish you ordered hasn't been served yet. ”

"My soul is willing to wait until the earth is desolate, but unfortunately my train is going to go far away. He Ze joked with a smile.

"Then let's go together, my car is parked outside, I'll send you. They stood up and secretly hurried to sign the bill, and He Ze went to the cloakroom to get his coat. A black Mercedes-Benz that had started stopped on the side of the road, and Liu Zhan and He Ze stepped down the steps of the club

Let's go, while tying up the scarf.

"You know, Hoze, I sometimes dream that I'm in Illion, with a damn noose around my neck, and Mary dead in my arms. I can't get rid of these nightmares. ”

"But you saved a father and son. ”

"You're right, you reunited them, and I'll never forget that. ”

They sat in the back of the car, and the Mercedes drove through the dilapidated alleys, and the rats on the side of the road were scared and ran away.

"That's right, you were the one who reunited Cindy and Joseph again, He Ze, right?" Liu Zhan continued the topic just now, "Then I thought that if Cindy was framed, then I was also framed. ”

"What did you say?"

"Am I right, Ho Ze? Have you and your boss, Your Excellency the General, been calculating how much you can get a piece of the pie? Squeezing out local businesses, the Free Army, the biggest local competitors, and then the warlords with Cindy is a small thing, a trivial matter. ”

"Your head injury must be worse than you think, Liu Zhan. He Ze replied stiffly.

"You dragged black people from the castle to the helicopter and then into the Mediterranean, and you've been hiding in the shadows ever since. ”

"Your conclusion is ridiculous, my friend. "

"I don't think so, and I'm not your friend, He Ze. ”

"In that case, I think I should get out of the car. ”

"No need, I'll get out of the car. I need to take a walk, get some fresh air, and he'll send you. Liu Zhan patted the driver's shoulder, the Mercedes was parked on the side of the road, and the car indicator light was flashing.

"Where are we?" He Ze asked, the lights around him dim, and he couldn't make out the direction.

"Near the embankment. The driver opened the door, and Liu Zhan replied as he got out of the car, "It only takes ten minutes to get to Waterloo." He held the driver's hand tightly, "Thank you. Liu Zhan's voice was very soft, as if he was saying goodbye to someone.

"You're welcome, I wish I could say to you, always at your service"

"Oh, there's something I almost forgot, and I should have given it to you a long time ago. Liu Zhan took off the watch on his wrist and handed it over.

The driver carefully examined his watch, as if he had seen a friend reunited after a long absence, he gently wiped the surface, and then put it on his wrist, "We'll see you in hell, Liu Zhan." ”

"Remember to leave me a warm corner, Cindy. ”

The driver didn't say anything more, slammed the door shut, and the car drove forward. As the Mercedes approached the embankment, He Ze slowly came to his senses, "Cindy, are you Cindy?" The car picked up speed, and Cindy ignored the thirty-mile speed limit sign on the side of the road.

"Stop! He Ze shouted, "For God's sake, let me get out of the car!" He Ze pulled the door handle hard, the door did not move, and the child lock was activated.

He tried to open the window again, and the switch didn't work. He banged on the windows of his car desperately, but no one on the road noticed their anomaly. The car quickly skimmed the street lights, the speed had reached sixty miles per hour, and the driver continued to accelerate, and due to inertia, He Ze was violently pushed into his seat.

Construction is underway on the embankment, and last week a heavy truck slid and crashed into the embankment due to icy roads, and the repair work is only half complete.

Workers had to tear down a small section of the embankment and then re-patch it.

A temporary fence was set up along the sidewalk, and on the other side of the fence was the rushing Black Thames.

The Mercedes drove up to the curb at 80 mph, crashed through the fence and flew out, and the fence scattered like straw.

The front of the Mercedes flies upwards towards the River Thames, and the beams of the headlights shoot straight into the night sky, and the car crashes into the river.

The rushing flood swept the car downstream, and after a few seconds the car disappeared from the river.

Many people saw cars fall into the river, but no one jumped into the river to save people, the river was too dark, too deep, too icy, and jumping would kill you.

Witnesses could only call the police, and by the time the water police arrived, Cindy and his passengers were already at the bottom of the river.

Thiago's foxy sense of smell was right, but he didn't follow his nature.

Wren is dead, Scott is dead, the president is gone, and there's a huge security hole around him.

The president's authority began to be challenged, and the system that had been functioning properly became crooked and crumbling. It quickly became uncontrollable, with information spread on the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and then a flood of people on the streets, and Joseph was very accurate about the timing.

He's got a lot of resources, and the equipment and performance of the Internet have been greatly improved, all with the support of some mysterious person.

To Wren's friends' surprise, he suddenly announced that he would sell his entire collection, and that the proceeds would be used for Illion's Free Army.

The growing crowd of demonstrators on Illian Street had to be dispersed by the army, and by the time Thiago gave the order to the army, the tide had already passed.

Nobody listened to his orders, the soldiers didn't want to shoot, they couldn't have shot their wives, brothers, children in the crowd, and then Thiago disappeared.

The operation was codenamed the Song of Freedom.
