Two minutes ago, Kong Taining, who had just come from Lin Zhenguo's side, came to the outside of the Li family's compound and planned to let the guards standing guard at the door report it, but when he saw the other guard's guard, he straightened up and saluted him, and said loudly: "Lieutenant General Kong Taining, General Li Jianguo has already informed us that you will come in the morning, and told us that you don't need to report when you come, just go to the living room of the courtyard to find him." ”

Hearing this, although he was a little surprised and curious about how Li Jianguo knew that he was coming, Kong Taining still gave a few guards behind him a look, asked them to wait for him outside the compound, and then walked into the Li family compound.

Because of his friendship with Li Jianguo for many years, Kong Taining often comes to the Li family compound to visit the door, and he is quite clear about the situation in the Li family compound, so as soon as he enters the door, he does not need to be led by others, so he goes to the location of the living room in his memory.

When Kong Taining came to the living room, he was greeted by Li Jianguo's warm greeting, and Kong Taining, who was a little confused about the situation in front of him, could only follow Li Jianguo's wishes and go to the dining room next to the living room with him and Li Yan to sit down.

Not long after the three of them sat down, Kong Taining was still trying to sort out the situation in his mind while dealing with Li Jianguo's topic without saying a word, Li Jianguo's personal guards and nannies came up with bowls of food.

Under Li Jianguo's warm greeting, Kong Taining could only stop thinking about eating for a while.

However, thanks to Li Jianguo's habit of not talking when eating, after starting to eat, Kong Taining had time to sort out the situation in his brain and study ways to deal with it.

And Li Yan, as a junior, naturally didn't say anything when the two elders were silent to eat. Of course, he didn't have time to say anything. Because his brain, like Kong Taining, is spinning and thinking at high speed.

As a result, the environment at the dinner table changed instantly, from the previous noise to silence, and the only sound was the sound of the three of them eating. And with the change of the environment, it is the atmosphere, from the original cheerfulness to silence.

Affected by this. Except for Li Jianguo, the three people at the table were still eating with a flat face, and the other two people who were thinking about it looked a little wrong, and the delicious food they ate in their mouths also became like chewing wax......

By the time this strange atmosphere lunch was finished, Kong Taining's eyes had already flashed a little thoughtful, and as for Li Yan, the beads of sweat that kept sliding down his face showed the panic in his heart vividly.

When he saw Li Jianguo put down the dishes and chopsticks, Li Yan, who was a little panicked under the huge pressure. Stammered: "Grandpa, that, that ......"

"Xiao Yan, as the successor of the Li family, you must have the courage to collapse in front of Mount Tai and not change your face, what are you like now, calm down for me and don't stutter before talking, otherwise shut up and listen to others." Li Yan's voice was heard. Li Jianguo turned his head to look at him and said expressionlessly.

Hearing Li Jianguo's reprimand, he scolded. Li Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart, then opened his eyes and said, "Grandpa, you came back to me today, is there something wrong." ”

Looking at Li Yan with satisfaction, who instantly regained his composure in front of him, Li Jianguo turned his head to look at Kong Taining and said, "Is there anything wrong?" It depends on what your Grandpa Kong says, and I don't know if it's okay before he speaks. ”

Hearing this, Li Yan also looked at Kong Taining, with some doubts in his eyes...... Implore.

"Hey." Facing the gaze of the Li family's grandfather and grandson. Kong Taining sighed lightly, lowered his head and struggled to think about something, and after a long time, he raised his head again and said, "Lao Li, I came here today to tell you something......

When Kong Taining's six words "tell you one thing" came out, Li Yan, who was sitting opposite him, turned white, and the sweat that had been stopped began to stop again, although Li Jianguo saw everything in his eyes, he didn't say anything again, but listened carefully to Kong Taining's story.

In the next half an hour, Kong Taining told Li Jianguo the ins and outs of the matter, 1510 as much as possible, including Li Yan and Cao Changping to form a joint force to deal with Chen Tianyi, after the failure, Li Yan hired a murderer to kill Chen Tianyi, but was killed by the powerful Chen Tianyi, he learned the news from his subordinates and went to Lin Zhenguo's side to intercede for Li Yan, Lin Zhenguo gave him an answer, and the reason for such an answer, etc.

With Kong Taining's narration, Li Yan's face became more and more pale, he opened his mouth several times to speak but did not dare to speak, and the sweat on his body kept staying, so much that he soaked the inside of the suit, and in the end, Lin Zhenguo replied that paragraph, he was already powerless and looked like a dead face.

On the contrary, it was Li Jianguo, except for when Kong Taining just started to speak, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he remained expressionless throughout the whole process, neither interrupting Kong Taining's narration, nor asking about more specific situations, which made people wonder what was going on in his head.

Waiting for Kong Taining's last sentence, Li Jianguo finally spoke: "So, what do you think." ”

Looking at Li Jianguo, who looked a little tired in front of him, although Kong Taining was very unbearable, he still said extremely resolutely: "Since I choose to continue to support Lao Lin's ascension to the top, I can only support any decision he makes." Lao Li, I know you are very distressed, but after all, it was Li Yan who did the wrong thing, and he should pay some price and learn some lessons, so, hey......"

"Pay some price? Eat some lessons? As long as you go to prison and go to jail, you will leave a permanent mistake in the file, don't want to achieve something in your career in this life, is this some price and some lessons? Seeing Kong Taining stop sighing in the middle of speaking, Li Jianguo closed his eyes and added with a painful expression.

"Hey, Lao Li, you're right, so I don't want to say anything more. It's just that I hope you can calm down, for the sake of decades of friendship, don't completely tear your face with Lao Lin because of Li Yan's matter, or even do some stupid things in anger, which will not have a good impact on the two of you. Kong Taining, who didn't know how many times he sighed today, sighed in his heart that it was not easy to be a peacemaker, and lowered his posture to persuade him.

After speaking, Kong Taining glanced at Li Jianguo, who didn't speak, and added: "Of course, it is normal for you to be unwilling to support Lao Lin because of Li Yan's matter, so if you want to quit, neither me, Lao Lin nor anyone else will stop you, let alone blame you." ”

"Is this what Lao Lin means?" After Kong Taining's words fell, Li Jianguo lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and looked directly at Kong Taining and asked.

"No, that's what I mean, Lao Lin means don't want me to persuade you. He said that if your beliefs have not changed, you will naturally agree with his approach, if your beliefs have changed and you do not agree with his method of dealing with Li Yan, then sooner or later you will give up on him because of Li Yan's affairs, and persuading you will only affect the relationship between the two of us. Facing Li Jianguo's turbid, but terrifying eyes, Kong Taining first didn't think about it for a while, and then said honestly to those eyes again.

Looking at Kong Taining's unyielding eyes, Li Jianguo didn't ask anything more, but waved his hand and said: "I know, now I want to talk to Xiao Yan alone, Lao Kong, you can sit in the living room for a while, and I'll give you an answer when I come out." ”

Saying that, Li Jianguo stood up, and first instructed the personal guard: "Xiaotian, ask Aunt Wang to come over and clean up the table." Then he turned his head to Li Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, you go to the study with me." ”

Hearing this, Li Yan got up and obediently followed behind Li Jianguo and walked towards Li Jianguo's study.

Kong Taining stopped talking for a while, and finally looked at the back of the two leaving, shook his head helplessly, got up and waited in the living room. As for Li Jianguo's personal guard, as soon as he heard Li Jianguo's order, he ran to the kitchen.

It took two minutes to walk from the living room into the study and then sit down opposite each other, Li Jianguo, who was silent the whole time, finally spoke: "Xiao Yan, are all the things that your Grandpa Kong said true?" ”

"It's true." Li Yan, who had always wanted to say something, but didn't dare to say anything because of Li Jianguo's silence, saw that Li Jianguo finally spoke, and after hesitating for a while, he still decided to tell the truth, and it was pointless to lie at this time.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Li Jianguo asked again.

This time, Li Yan lowered his head and did not answer, but repeatedly clenched his fists and released his hands, showing the unrest in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Jianguo sighed and muttered to himself, "It seems that I really did something wrong." Xiao Yan, do you know why I tried my best to appoint you as the successor of the Li family in the first place? Maybe you think it's because your two uncles, your cousins, can't compare to you in terms of ability, so I have no choice but to choose you. But I'm telling you now, you're wrong, and I didn't choose you over anyone else in my family because of your ability. That's right, in terms of ability, you are indeed very strong in the three generations, but you are more tender than your uncles, not to mention the huge gap in experience and network accumulation between you after more than 20 years. ”

"Of course, I didn't choose you because of your illegitimate status, but I pity you and feel sorry for you. To tell you the truth, if I really pity you and feel sorry for you, then I wouldn't let you be so sharp at all, because it will only hurt you more, as can be seen from the attitude of the rest of the family towards you. ”

After a pause, Li Jianguo looked at Li Yan, who raised his head while listening to his self-talk, and said in a flat but powerful voice: "The reason why I chose you is very simple, just like the old men of other families, for the better continuation of the family." (To be continued.) )
