Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wind and Rain

After lunch, Li Jingwei cleaned up the kitchen and prepared to bid farewell to Tang Jifeng.

In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a week since he came to Tang Jifeng. The school is about to open next week, and Mr. Tang has nothing to do here, so he plans to return to MIT.

When he came to the living room, Li Jingwei didn't have time to speak, but Tang Jifeng said first: "Jingwei, this is the key to the house." I'm going to San Francisco to take care of some things, maybe a week or so in San Francisco. I've hailed a taxi, wait a minute, I'm going to catch a plane at 2pm today. ”

"When you leave, just put the key under the mat at the door. You just call this your home, you're welcome. ”

Tang Jifeng and Li Jingwei's grandfather Xiao Chufeng are close friends, and he himself likes Li Jingwei very much, a young man, plus Tang Qiushui also has a soft spot for Li Jingwei, so Tang Jifeng has never regarded Li Jingwei as an outsider.

He also hopes that Li Jingwei can make this place his home.

Tang Qiushui returned to his mother's family trial, and Old Man Tang was also lonely alone, but he hoped that Li Jingwei could stay here for a few more days.

However, the Regulus Dragon League asked him to go to San Francisco to attend to some business, and he had to leave for a few days.

"Grandpa Tang, I'm just about to say goodbye to you!" Li Jingwei said with a smile, "School will start next week, and I need to go back in advance to prepare." ”

When Tang Jifeng heard this, he immediately remembered that Li Jingwei had told him when he first came that the vacation was not long, and he would not stay long here in New York.

Subsequently, both of them got into the taxi called by Tang Jifeng. Due to the abundant time, Tang Jifeng first asked the taxi to send Li Jingwei to the Grand Central Railway Station in New York, and then rushed to the airport.

As soon as Li Jingwei bought a train ticket back to Boston, he received a call from Professor Mark Hidings, chair of the Department of Mathematics at Columbia University.

β€œRobi

It's me, Mark. Hidings and Li Jingwei's research fields are similar and they are familiar with each other.

In recent years, Hiddings has also made a name for himself in the American mathematical community. One of his most recent papers is based on one published by Li Jingwei.

"Hi Mark, I heard that you were elected head of the Department of Mathematics at Columbia University not long ago, congratulations!" Li Jingwei said.

"Thank you, if your brother is willing to come to Columbia, how about I give you the chair of the department?"

It is very important for scholars to engage in academic research, and to have a good research team. In this way, team members can learn from each other and promote each other's research.

Therefore, although Hiddles was joking at this time, he actually hoped very much that Li Jingwei could come to Columbia University.

Before this, he had persuaded Li Jingwei to come to Columbia University many times, but Li Jingwei refused.

"Haha! Let's not talk about it. By the way, brother, what is the matter with your call this time?" Li Jingwei gets along well with his tutor and likes the academic atmosphere of MIT, so he naturally will not leave at will.

"That's right, I just saw a working paper by your brother, and I want to invite you to come to me tomorrow to give an academic report. Also, I have some questions for you. You know, this is very important for our research now, so your brother must promise me. The two knew each other well, so Hiddings was not polite and directly put forward his own request.

Now, his research has indeed encountered some bottlenecks, and Li Jingwei's paper is very inspiring to him, so he would like to invite Li Jingwei to give an academic report in the Department of Mathematics of Columbia University.

Li Jingwei happened to be in New York, and there was nothing to do tomorrow, and he also wanted to hear the suggestions of Hiddins and others on his paper, so he happily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Li Jingwei glanced at the ticket in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "This mark is too, can't you call a few minutes earlier? ”

Since I decided to give a talk at Columbia University tomorrow, I don't need to rush back to Boston.

Since the central railway station was too far away from Tang Qingfeng's residence, Li Jingwei booked a room at a five-star hotel near Central Park. It's not far from the central train station, and it's easy to get to Columbia University.

After putting the salute in his room, Li Jingwei walked to the American Museum of Natural History next to Central Park. Due to the late arrival, Li Jingwei only visited part of the museum and arrived at the time when the museum closed.

But even this small part of the tour left a deep impression on Li Jingwei, and it prompted him to decide to stay in New York for an extra day.

Li Jingwei plans to spend another day visiting the American Museum of Natural History after giving an academic report at Columbia University.

In the meeting hall of the Dong family's clan, although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit.

Dong Horihai, the patriarch of the hidden Dong family, summoned the important people of the family for a meeting.

Not long ago, he received a call from the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance. The caller didn't say much, but just told him that the two elders of the Xuanyuan Dragon League Elders Association would come to the Dong family to investigate some things the day after tomorrow, hoping that the Dong family would actively cooperate.

The caller's tone was blunt, and it seemed to be discussed, but in fact, there was no room for the Dong family to shirk.

Moreover, on the phone, the other party said that he was coming to Dong's house to 'investigate' some things, instead of the usual 'visit', which also shows that the person who came was not good.

This reminded Dong Horihai of what happened in New York not long ago. According to Han Jiadong's arrangement, Dong Yu and the four went to New York to carry out a mission, but all four of them died tragically. According to Han Jiadong, it was for the four of them to protect the Chinese cultural relics. However, until now, the Dong family didn't know whether what Han Jiadong said was true or false.

In the last family meeting, Dong Qinghai speculated that it might involve the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance. It's just that Dong Horihai didn't want to believe it, and chose to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich.

The people of the Xuanyuan Dragon League would never attack Dong Yu and the four for no reason. If it was really someone from the Xuanyuan Dragon League who made a move, it must be the task of Dong Yu and the four of them that endangered the interests of the country and the nation.

Every time he thought of this, Dong Horihai would have a chill down his spine and be restless.

Now, the people of the Xuanyuan Dragon League are going to investigate the matter, and Dong Horihai deduces that nine times out of ten it has something to do with it. If the four of Dong Hao really did something that harmed the interests of the country and the nation, even if the people from the Xuanyuan Dragon League did not come to find them, Dong Horihai would feel ashamed of his ancestors.

When Dong Horihai informed everyone that the Xuanyuan Dragon League was going to investigate, everyone who came to the meeting suddenly exploded and made a mess.

Dong Horihai glanced at everyone a little tiredly, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table. The people who were arguing immediately fell silent. Dong Horihai said to Dong Qinghai, who had been sitting quietly in the chair: "Second brother, what do you think of this matter?"

Dong Qinghai pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, it can basically be concluded now that what Dong Yu and the four of them did was by no means as simple as Han Jiadong said about protecting cultural relics, and it was likely to be...... It is a matter that harms the interests of the nation. ”

"None of us want to believe it, but it's probably a fait accompli. It is impossible for the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance to find our Dong family for no reason, they must have more conclusive evidence. β€œ

When Dong Qinghai said this, the people who were arguing couldn't stop nodding.

"Assuming that the Xuanyuan Dragon League has conclusive evidence, and this time it is also here to ask the Xingshi to ask for the guilt, then how should we deal with it?" Dong Horihai asked with a worried face.

"Big brother, don't blame me for talking too much. I think it's time for the Dong family to cut ties with the Han family. Han Jiadong's recent performance is really shocking, and it is not the demeanor of a mature political tycoon. ”

To put it mildly, he has become obsessed, his behavior is unpredictable, and he has deviated from the basic principles of being an official and serving as an official at least as a politician. It is very dangerous to continue to deal with such people. ”

"Therefore, I suggest that if the Xuanyuan Dragon League comes to investigate something related to Dong Yu and the four of them this time, then we must tell each other frankly and tell the Xuanyuan Dragon League the ins and outs of the matter as it is, and strive for understanding. ”

"In addition, we have to make it clear to the Xuanyuan Dragon League that we will sever contact with the Han family and will never meddle in worldly affairs from now on. ”

Most of the people who are doing Dong Qinghai's suggestion agree with it, but a few people shake their heads and oppose it.

As far as Dong Horihai's heart is concerned, he also agrees with Dong Qinghai's suggestion. Now, what he was worried about was that even so, I was afraid that the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance would still refuse to give up.

What's more, he didn't know how much the Xuanyuan Dragon League had lost in this matter. If the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance also lost a lot of manpower, I am afraid that the matter will not be so easy to conclude.

At this moment, Dong Horihai's mobile phone rang. He opened it and found that it was Dong Changfeng calling, so he pressed the answer button.

"The head of the family, old and incompetent, this operation still yielded nothing. Dong Changfeng didn't have any concealment, nor did he prepare any excuses for himself, and directly told Dong Horihai the results of the operation.

"Didn't you see Fan Canghai?" asked Dong Horihai.

"I saw it, but judging from Fan Canghai's reaction, he shouldn't know Dong Kui's whereabouts. Dong Changfeng said, accompanied by a violent cough.

"Are you injured? Did Fan Canghai do it?" Dong Horihai immediately heard that Dong Changfeng's breath was unsteady when he spoke, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Yes. But it wasn't Fan Canghai's doing, he wasn't an old opponent. It was a young man from the Xuanyuan Dragon League, who looked like he was in his twenties. Dong Changfeng said, coughing a few more times.

Then, he continued: "The strength of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance is really not to be underestimated! With this young skill, there are very few of our Dong family who can beat him. ”

When Dong Horihai heard this, he was so shocked that he stood up directly from his chair and asked in disbelief, "A young man in his twenties?"

"Hehe.... That's right. Dong Changfeng said with a wry smile.

Dong Horihai immediately realized a more serious problem, and immediately asked, "How could you meet someone from the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance?"

"I don't know the specific reason why the people of the Xuanyuan Dragon League are with Fan Canghai. However, this young man said that our Dong family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and asked me to take a good look at what our Dong family has done in the United States recently. Moreover, he also said that the Xuanyuan Dragon League would find our Dong family. ”

Dong Changfeng, like everyone else, didn't know what Dong Yu and the four of them had done for Han Jiadong in the United States.

"I'll talk about this in detail when you come back. You should rush back to Huaxia as soon as possible, pay attention to safety along the way, and take care of your health. After listening to Dong Changfeng's introduction, Dong Horihai didn't want to explain anything more on the phone, so he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Dong Horihai's face became even more gloomy. He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Based on the information provided by Elder Gang Dong, it can now be concluded that we were designed by Han Jiadong and made a big mistake. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "Recall all the clan disciples who have entered the world and experienced it." In addition, the side branch family is notified and the behavior of the children of the family outside is strictly restricted. ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. For many years, the Dong family has never done such a thing.

Dong Horihai then said, "Okay, let's get here here today." Qinghai stays for a while, and everyone else goes back to rest. ”

said that everyone should go back to rest, but Dong Horihai also knew very well that for all the people who participated in this meeting, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

The Dong family at this moment is like a small boat in the sea, in the turbulent waves, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time!
