Ten days later, on a passenger plane from New York to Shanghai. Vertices

"I always feel a little unwilling to go back like this......"

Li Yuan clenched his fists and said to Zhao, who was sitting beside him.

Zhao smiled and asked, "Do you know the inch fist?"

"Yes. Li Yuan replied: "Bruce Lee's invented moves." ”

"Inch boxing was not invented by Bruce Lee, there was originally this kind of move in Chinese martial arts, but Bruce Lee carried it forward. ”

Zhao made an inch fist movement and said: "There is also an inch of strength in Bagua Boxing, but I haven't practiced it, do you know why?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

"The requirements for physical fitness are too harsh, it is too difficult to practice, and even if it is practiced, it is far less practical than punching. ”

Zhao retracted his fist to the waist, made a punching action, and said: "When I first started practicing boxing, my father told me that the fist that was put away was the most ruthless, and as for the inch fist or something, it was all a side door." ”

"That's too absolute. Li Yuan disagreed with Zhao's point of view: "Cunquan has its strengths, at least it is faster." ”

"Can you outrun a bullet?"

Zhao asked rhetorically and said, "In most cases, it doesn't make much sense to shoot so fast. ”

Li Yuan fell silent.

He understood what Zhao meant.

What Zhao wants to express is actually a truth that everyone understands, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Li Yuan's clenched fist loosened, and he spread out his palm, revealing a belt buckle embedded with a bullet embedded in it.

Li Yuan stared at the belt buckle for a long time, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "What you said makes sense. ”

Willing or unwilling, he had to admit that his mentality was too inflated some time ago.

When your own strength is insufficient, you have to compete with those behemoths, and you can only hit your head and break the bloodstream.

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Chen walked over, glanced at the belt buckle in Li Yuan's palm, and said, "I didn't believe in fate before, but you were able to escape this time, except for your fate, I really can't think of how to explain it." ”

"I'm still a little unwilling......," Li Yuan said with emotion.

"The British are more reluctant than you, that's hundreds of millions of pounds......"

"My life is so worthless?" Li Yuan laughed: "Besides, I'm afraid I don't have much to get my hands on." ”

"It's useless for you to tell me this, it's just that you say you have a mouthful of soup to drink. ”

“……”

Li Yuan now regrets that what he said at the beginning was too righteous and awe-inspiring.

The British eventually cashed in the £80 million bonus, but most of it ended up going to the central bank, and Li Yuan didn't have much at his disposal.

Hawkers, that's the price of willful nonsense.

Li Yuan estimated that if he did not return to China, no matter whether the people in China, the Americans or the British, would not be able to bear it.

Among them, the British are the most aggrieved.

The shooting incident in which Li Yuan was killed was determined the day after the incident.

In police parlance, it was a retaliatory assault.

The gunman's name is Ali, an Indonesian immigrant, an Islamist, and a member of the Indonesian gang. Ali's brother was injured by a Chinese immigrant named Annie Li some time ago, and it should not be said that in short, Ali bribed the police and learned about Li Yuan's role in the incident, so he planned and carried out the revenge killing.

It sounds fine, but all the clues show that it's not that simple.

……

Li Yuan asked Chen Chen: "When I asked you before, you always refused to say, in fact, I can guess how much this matter is related to News Corporation, right?"

Chen Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "You know Cooper

This person?"

"I don't know. ”

Cooper was the executive editor of Fox and the interim executive producer of that episode. ”

"Go on. ”

"Cooper had a very close personal relationship with a tobacconist who was the owner of the Indonesian gang. Behind Fox is News Corp., and you've mentioned to Brandon that you're going to meet with Murdoch. ”

"You say Murdoch ordered this?"

"I didn't say that. Chen Chen said: "I don't think this matter has much to do with News Corp., but it is better to say that someone deliberately did it, and the clues are too obvious but not credible." ”

"That's right. Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's just that someone doesn't want me to contact Murdoch...... Forget it, don't think about that. ”

"You just said that you were not reconciled. ”

"What I am unwilling to do is that my own strength is too weak, if I really have the power to influence the world pattern, I will not be troubled by these conspiracies. ”

Li Yuan waved his hand, "Forget it, it's just a lost dog now, and there's no point in saying this." There are too many problems, but I believe that one day we will find out the truth and settle the accounts together...... Anyway, you're telling me that this isn't against the rules, right?"

"I'm out of work. ”

"Sorry for the trouble. ”

"It's so insincere. Chen Chen stroked his hair and said charmingly: "If you are really sincere, find a way to help your sister solve a lifelong event?"

Li Yuan looked at Chen Chen dumbfounded, he didn't expect that she would have such a side when she had always been cold-faced.

"What kind of eyes are you? Chen Chen glanced at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Is this considered a release after completing his sentence?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Chen Chen took a sip and said with relief: "Thanks to you, I have nothing, at least I want to be a woman again." ”

"Hearing you say that, I think of a saying in the workplace that women are used as men, men are used as animals, and animals are used as leaders......"

"Don't let Zhang Wei hear this. ”

"Viagra is the leader? uh, it feels a little weird to call him that......"

"The more you talk about it, the less serious it ......"

Li Yuan and Chen Chen were talking together, looking at her relaxed appearance of taking off her guard, knowing that this might not be her true face, she was probably hiding the panic in her heart in this way.

Because of the trouble caused by Li Yuan, Chen Chen was dismissed, and saying this feels like being a scapegoat, in fact, the organization does not mean to blame her, on the contrary, it is a kind of protection.

There is no way, Chen Chen's exposure was too high some time ago, maybe the identity of the agent has not been exposed, but if he continues to stay in the United States, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not encounter danger.

Joking, the topic is back to business.

Li Yuan asked, "What kind of work did the organization arrange for you?"

"Lecturer of the second foreign language in the north, it's not bad, right?"

"It's a bit of a condescension. ”

Li Yuan smashed his mouth and said, "I gave such a big gift to the above, and I changed the lecturer, which is a bit of a loss." ”

"It's a serious thing, why is it so dirty in your mouth. Chen Chen said angrily: "Besides, the gift was given by you, and I just handled it." ”

"Hey, you're not going to sell me, are you?" Li Yuan said nervously: "We agreed before, I don't want to get involved again." ”

"Don't worry, I didn't mention you...... But no one is stupid, at most everyone is just pretending to be confused. ”

"That's good. Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zaiguan was confused and asked, "What did you say?"

"Adults talk, children don't ask. ”

Li Yuan was sloppy, but he was pinched by Zhao and screamed.

……

Chen Chen pursed his lips and smiled

, hiding the complex emotions under his eyes.

Everyone can see how close Li Yuan and Zhao are, otherwise Zhao wouldn't have acted like crazy after Li Yuan was knocked out...... If she hadn't worked hard to subdue the gunman, Li Yuan would probably have been unable to escape in the end.

Even with such a relationship, Li Yuan can still keep his mouth shut, and never say much that should not be said.

Alas......

Chen Chen sighed secretly, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

……

The big gift that Li Yuan just said is actually a piece of information, and this information is like this

First, NATO will carry out air strikes against Yugoslavia in late March to resolve the Kosovo issue by force.

Second, the United States will experiment with the latest stealth bomber in this war.

When Chen Chen first heard about this, his first reaction was that it was too ridiculous.

What is ridiculous is not that NATO may launch a military operation against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but how Li Yuan knows about it.

As a front-line intelligence officer, Chen Chen has a very profound insight into the international situation, and since the Lajak massacre in January, she has had a premonition that NATO may take military action against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but even in combination with the information she has already had, she only dares to use the vague word "maybe," let alone propose a specific time.

And Li Yuan told her with great certainty that it was "late March".

"Late March" is a simple four words, but it has a decisive value. It is important to know that the previous analysis of the relevant departments concluded that NATO may take military action against the Kosovo region in the "second half of the year".

Chen Chen didn't know why Li Yuan was so sure, but his attitude made her dare not slack off, after all, too many magical things had happened to this boy, and it was not unacceptable to have one more.

Chen Chen reported to the top as soon as possible, of course, she did not hide Li Yuan's identity as the whistleblower.

Chen Chen believes that this is necessary.

As an intelligence officer, she could not lie to the state.

In other words, she lied to Li Yuan.

This made her feel guilty for the first time in her life.

……

Chen Chen's guilt is not the lie itself, but the meaning behind the lie.

The famous writer H.P. Lovecraft once said that the most primitive and intense human emotion is fear, and the most primitive and intense fear is the fear of the unknown.

Li Yuan could not explain the "assertion" of the intelligence source, and perhaps it was more appropriate to use "prophecy" in the Middle Ages, and it was estimated that he would be burned at the stake as a sorcerer. Even now, the unknown is frightening.

If the prophecy fails, it is fine, but if it is as he said, I believe that many people who know will feel that they will not be able to sleep.

Chen Chen understood this truth, and she believed that Li Yuan also understood this truth, so she couldn't understand it even more.

Is it really as he said, the reason is to "get you a better way out"?

Reason told Chen Chen that this was just an excuse, but she had to admit that she was a little moved in her heart.

This kind of emotion has not been seen for many years.

……

Chen Chen carefully concealed the fluctuations in his heart, and pretended to say to Li Yuan inadvertently: "I chatted with Feng Wan two days ago, can you bear to leave her alone in the United States?"

"I can't help it. ”

Li Yuan said helplessly: "There is still a mess left in the United States, and someone must preside over the overall situation. ”

"Listen to her, you also have a bunch of things in your country......"

"It's a headache to talk about. ”

Li Yuan rubbed his temples and said, "To put it bluntly, there is still a shortage of people." ”

"Hmm. ”

Chen Chen nodded, hesitated, and said, "What do you think I can do?"
