An old man who was over the age of old sat quietly in the room, tall and unold, and standing next to him was a middle-aged man in his fifties, both of whom had gray sideburns. At first, the two had not spoken, the old man's eyes looked at the distant sea through the huge glass window, thoughtfully, but the middle-aged man kept looking at the floor, as if waiting for the old man's instructions, and there was a strange silence, or even an oppressive atmosphere, in the room.

The old man suddenly said to himself: "The years are not forgiving, we are all old and tired. ”

The middle-aged man of medium stature and slightly fat whispered, "Yes." ”

"The ambition of the past is long gone, and the persistent belief of the past is now weak. The old man's posture remained unchanged, still muttering to himself.

The middle-aged man still whispered, "Yes." ”

The old man continued: "We all already have children and daughters, and we no longer want to live the days of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and we no longer want to take those unnecessary risks with our heads lifted. ”

The middle-aged man whispered, "Yes." ”

The old man sighed: "Money is something outside the body, life does not bring death, and the wealth that I dreamed of when I was young is tasteless once I get it, and now it has become a nasty number." ”

The middle-aged man whispered, "Yes." ”

The old man seemed to let out a long sigh and continued: "When I was young, I could do whatever it took to get the wealth in front of me, I could kill people like hemp, I could betray and frame, I could grovel, but now I just want to spend my old age in peace and enjoy the joy of family. ”

The middle-aged man said: "Yes...... Uh, no. ”

"Isn't it?" The old man suddenly withdrew his gaze, and his gaze, which was still very calm just now, instantly became a little sharp, and he stared coldly at the middle-aged man beside him, "How many years have you been away from Guan Jin Island?"

"Ten...... Decade. The middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of the old man's mouth: "It's been ten years, old man, how are you doing?"

"Good. "The middle-aged man was a little overwhelmed," ...... Not so good. ”

The old man laughed: "Is it good or bad?"

The middle-aged man finally reluctantly calmed down, and said after a long time: "To be honest, it's not good." ”

"Oh, what's wrong? The old man was quite interested.

"I was terrified, and I couldn't sleep. But......" The middle-aged man lowered his gaze to the ground again, "most of my life has passed, and I have worked for the island for decades, and I do want to live a peaceful life in my twilight years, if the old man can agree, he also implores me to wash my hands and retire to the mountains and forests." ”

"When did you get on the island? I can't even remember. The old man seemed to be trying to remember something, and he seemed to be deliberately expressing something.

The middle-aged man seemed to be a little desolate and said, "Thirty years ago." ”

"Well, almost. The old man nodded, "I remember, you are the one my brother rescued, I still remember that time, you seemed to be the only one left in the whole boat, right?"

There were tears in the middle-aged man's eyes: "The second master has the grace of reinvention for me, and I will never forget it in this life." It's a pity that God is jealous of the talent......" Speaking of this, his voice was a little choked.

"Why are you crying at such an age? We are all already half-buried people in the loess, and sooner or later we will come to the step of entering the earth, haven't you seen through it yet?" the old man said coldly.

The middle-aged man did not feel a trace of comfort, and his expression was still sad.

"In a few days, we're going to die soon, don't you feel it?" seemed to have another meaning in the old man's words, and at first the middle-aged man was immersed in his emotions and didn't notice it.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Old man, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand. ”

"Do you not understand, or are you pretending to be confused?" The old man was not ambiguous, he stared at the middle-aged man, as if he wanted to see through him at a glance, "Someone is connected with Mu Lian, you won't tell me that you don't know, right?"

The middle-aged man said in a panic: "No one has reported it to me yet, I really don't know ......"

The old man shook his head helplessly: "Alas, you, you are always so absent-minded after you come back...... Since you don't know, then I don't want to blame you. But now that danger is imminent, even if you want to get out, I'm afraid you won't have this chance. ”

The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Who is the connection with Mu Lian, do they have any specific actions?" Old man, please rest assured, I can still figure out which is more important...... Whatever you need me to do, you just ask. ”

"Aren't you thinking about washing your hands, I don't like to be a strong man, you have to think about it, don't say that I forced you to do it when the time comes......" The old man said lightly.

The middle-aged man finally raised his eyes and said, "The old man can't trust me?"

The old man didn't speak, and once again cast his eyes on the distant sea and sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I have a very strange feeling, as if this sky that has been clear and bright for decades suddenly drifts a few dark clouds, although it does not affect the whole weather, it makes people feel uncomfortable, perhaps, the sky will suddenly become dark, and a heavy rain may brew if you are not careful. The old man seemed to be saying something else, but the middle-aged man understood what he meant.

"Do you need to send someone to solve this matter now?" The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly showed a rare fierce light, as if he had become another person in an instant.

The old man suddenly laughed: "I seem to see you back then, and you have returned to your true nature." I'll just say, my brother's vision won't be so bad, and he really knows people, haha, haha. ”

The middle-aged man's face was slightly red, and he coughed a few times in embarrassment: "If you can do things for the old man, what's the matter, the old man doesn't have to deliberately test me." ”

The old man shook his head: "I don't want to test you, but I want to summon your soul back, these days I see that you are listless all day long, and my heart is very worried." But it's not time for you to make a move...... Do you know that there is a man named Li Yiting?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and shook his head blankly.

"Look at you, you really don't hear anything outside the window, how can you do this?" the old man's tone was slightly reproachful, "I'm afraid you can't do anything well in this state, old man." ”

The middle-aged man was silent, and the old man smiled slightly: "Okay, just talk, you are still you, and Lao Ji is still ambitious." That's about a word of praise.

"Who is this Li Yiting? The old man might as well make it clear. The middle-aged man said slowly.

The old man sighed: "It's not a great person, and he is ostensibly doing things for Ming'er now, but, according to my observation, this person should be an authentic policeman." ”

"Police!?" the middle-aged man was obviously stunned.

The old man waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be surprised: "Don't make a fuss, the two people who are connected with Mu Lian and this Li Yiting landed on the island at the same time, so it is very likely that they are also plainclothes policemen." ”

"Why did the old man let a policeman follow Young Master Ming? Wouldn't it be dangerous for Young Master Ming to do this......" The middle-aged man couldn't guess the old man's intentions.

The old man suddenly laughed grimly, and his originally kind face suddenly glowed with a unique majesty that made people fearful.

"What is a policeman? I really want to see Ming'er's true ability, if he doesn't even have the ability to subdue a policeman, then how can he inherit Guan Jindao......'s grand cause?

The middle-aged man muttered, "Young Master Ming is still young, are you too risky......"

The old man didn't speak for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, why do you think I have made so much effort to invite you, a veteran, to come out?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and his whole body was cold.
