Chapter 23: The Way Out

"She won't die, she will never die, Ma Wenrou will never die like this. Sitting at the desk, Liu Yanran, who was originally radiant, looked a little depressed, her beautiful eyes were full of bloodshots, her long hair was messy, and she looked a little enchanted.

Standing opposite Liu Yanran was a woman dressed in men's clothes with a neutral taste, nicknamed the White Fox, although it was a woman, it was the sharpest knife under Liu Qingsong's hand, second only to Li Yangchun.

The white tiger looked at Liu Yanran, who was a little depressed, her expression was a little tangled, she could generally understand Liu Yanran's mood at this moment, after all, Liu Yanran respected Ma Wenrou as a mortal enemy for life, although Liu Yanran seemed to hate Ma Wen Wen to the core, in fact, Bai Hu was very clear.

This is hatred that is born of love.

So although this city thinks that Ma Wenrou is dead like that, when she comes to Liu Yanran, she will definitely not admit it.

"Whether you accept it or not, she's still dead. Baihu said in a cold voice, maybe this dream was too cruel for Liu Yanran, but in the current situation, if Liu Yanran continued to be so sentimental, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Liu Yanran raised her head slowly, her expression looked a little struggling, as if she wanted to escape desperately, but she couldn't break free from the spell, she said in a weak voice: "Sister White Fox, what should I do now?"

I have to say that this is a question of being too weak to be weak, but the white fox did not show a disappointed expression, because as far as Liu Yanran's Taoism is concerned, suddenly facing such a terrifying situation, it would be false to say that he would not panic.

"Now the old man is trapped in the teahouse, everything can only depend on you, Yanran. The white fox said.

Liu Yanran listened, slowly lowered her head, trying to cheer up, but thinking about how terrifying her opponent was, she felt unprecedented despair, her strong character was wiped out in the face of such a terrifying chess game.

"This is what Ma Wenrou experiences most often, if it were her, how would she choose?" Liu Yanran raised her head and muttered to herself.

"But she died. White Tiger said.

Liu Yanran's expression suddenly felt a little self-deprecating, she finally understood the gap between herself and that woman, but at that moment she clenched her fists and said, "Sister White Fox, do you want to gamble like that?"

"The purpose of my standing here is to be willing to accompany me. ”

The white fox looked at Liu Yanran, who was slowly showing light in his eyes, and said, as long as that light still exists, all this is not too desperate.

In a desperate situation, it is always like this, either it will never be recovered, or it will be reunited.

When the night was about to come to an end, Li Banruo received that text message, the address was the White Horse Sculpture in Nancheng Square, and when Li Banruo arrived at this almost empty square, it was already half past two in the morning, but for Li Banruo and Lao Wu, whose biological clock was completely reversed, it was the time to be energetic, of course, this city was sleeping at the moment.

Maybe this is loneliness, even though it is the most lively White Horse Square in the south of the city, at this time, it is also empty.

Parking the car in an empty parking space, Li Banruo put on a black coat and got out of the car with Lao Wu, then stepped on the steps, lit a cigarette in the cold wind, thinking that maybe this river and lake was changed by people like them.

The old five followed behind him, and the two walked up the long steps, and finally saw the huge white horse sculpture, which looked particularly powerful as a horse that had stepped through thousands of mountains and rivers, without a saddle on its back, perhaps symbolizing freedom, but always giving people a feeling of something less.

Under the white horse sculpture, there is a man in a white robe standing, and there are two men standing beside him, with a figure and a fight with the old five, with a face full of horizontal flesh, exuding a kind of anger that makes people dare not approach, but for Li Banruo, who is used to seeing this kind of people, he does not feel terrible for this kind of people, he is afraid of the kind of inconspicuous but like dark thunder, because that kind of people are often fatal with one blow.

The man in white saw Li Banruo, who was belatedly late, and his somewhat haggard face in the dim light struggled to squeeze out a smile, Li Panruo walked in front of him, and looked at the face a little surprised, because Xu Qingfeng was much younger than he thought, he looked only twenty-five or sixteen years old at most, or even younger, maybe because he had not experienced too much suffering, there was hardly a trace of the annual rings left on that face.

On the contrary, although he has just turned twenty-four this year, he looks old like a bad old man.

Xu Qingfeng took the lead in stretching out his hand, and he didn't look like a gentleman, which made Li Banruo feel a little relieved, if Xu Qingfeng was still just a gentleman, he felt that cooperating with this guy would only make him lose even more.

Holding Xu Qingfeng's calloused hand as soft as a woman's hand, Li Panruo said, "Young Master Xu, I still invite you out at this time, I have a lot to bear." ”

The two let go of their hands at the same time, and Xu Qingfeng tried his best to squeeze out a bleak smile and said: "Consul Li, you still call me Qingfeng, being called a young master these days always gives people a feeling of scolding." ”

Li Panruo smiled, looking at Xu Qingfeng, who was weak in this article, it seemed that it was very appropriate to use the title of young master, and put aside such a small episode and said: "The situation in Nancheng is even worse than I imagined. ”

At the mention of Nancheng, Xu Qingfeng's expression slowly dimmed, and he said with a bitter face: "I didn't expect Zhang Zhongming and Zhao Chenggong to turn back so quickly, they may have been colluding with the dark web for a long time, and now the entire Nancheng is pointing at me and Old Man Liu, if I let my old man see such a scene, I guess I won't swallow that breath casually." ”

"I don't know what the last person left behind by Old Man Xu has said now?" Li Banruo asked, perhaps he could roughly guess something from Xu Qingfeng's expression.

"Either one by one, or turn to the other side, there is no one left who should stay, what should not go, almost all gone, in the years when the old man was sick, the Ocean Wave Chamber of Commerce has shown signs of split, he is powerless, he can only lie on the hospital bed and watch the Chamber of Commerce he established collapse. Xu Qingfeng said, and just said what he said in his heart to Li Banruo, who met for the first time, maybe something has been accumulated in his heart for too long, and if he holds it back, he may go crazy.

Moreover, he now knows very well that even if Li Banruo will not be on his side, he will not be on the side of the dark web, in a sense, Li Banruo is on the same cusp as him.

Li Banruo listened, refilled a cigarette again, saw Xu Qingfeng with his bare hands, he habitually handed over one, Xu Qingfeng refused because he couldn't smoke, Li Banruo didn't force it, he took a deep breath and said, "What are you going to do now?"

"Let's take one step at a time, now Zhang Zhongming and Zhao Chenggong don't dare to touch me directly, and I also have a lot of chips under my command that they can't gnaw on, but the situation on Old Man Liu's side is not optimistic. Xu Qingfeng said, this is good news that makes people unmotivated.

Li Panruo squinted his eyes slightly and said: "If they don't dare to move you now, it doesn't mean that they won't dare to move you in the future, besides, Zhang Zhongming and Zhao Chenggong won't be moving, it doesn't mean that the people on the dark web won't move you, so taking one step at a time will only make the situation worse." ”

Xu Qingfeng listened, he knew very well that Li Panruo's words were not alarmist, this was an absolute reality, but he was now carrying a whole family, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there were old and young, and his three sisters would only fight in the nest, and all the burdens were accumulated on him, how could this not make people despair.

"I don't know what Consul Li's plans are now?" Xu Qingfeng asked, he knew very well that Li Panruo's situation was no different from his.

"The main purpose of my coming to Nancheng this time is to save three people, two are now in the hands of Zhao Chenggong, and one is now in the hands of Zhang Zhongming. Li Banruo said, compared to Xu Qingfeng, who was a little shaken, Li Banruo's purpose was very clear.

"So, the Emperor Nine Mansion also plans to give up such a line as Nancheng?" Xu Qingfeng listened, his expression a little gloomy.

"It can also be said that what happened in Xicheng I believe you have also heard of it, now it is unrealistic for me to promise you anything, and I don't want to slap your swollen face and become fat here, after all, we are all fallen people now, but now we are directly fighting with Zhang Zhongming and Zhao Chenggong on the dark web There is obviously no chance of winning, what is needed now is to stabilize the situation, this time, we are not chess pieces, but chess players. Li Panruo said, not deliberately magnifying his advantages, or he thought that throwing some olive branches to Xu Qingfeng now would not be of much benefit to him.

Xu Qingfeng listened, he seemed to be a little surprised by Li Banruo's direct openness, and his expression softened slightly, as if he had a sense of intimacy with the difficult brother in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "Indeed, the only one who can save us now is himself." ”

Li Panruo saw that the signs were almost the same, and continued to speak: "Is it possible to bring Zhang Zhongming and Zhao Chenggong together again?"

Hearing Li Banruo's words, Xu Qingfeng was stunned at first, and then sure that Li Banruo didn't seem to be joking, as if he sensed the madness in Li Banruo's eyes, he touched his chin, was silent for a long time and said: "Zhang Zhongming and Zhao Chenggong are both very cunning, as if they were asked out, the probability is very small, but it is not impossible, but this method is very risky." ”

"How risky?" asked Li Panruo without thinking.

"If I fail, there's no way back. Xu Qingfeng said, as if he was infected by Li Panruo.

"You haven't had it since the beginning. ”
