What is Days? What is better to live than to die?

Living in Zhongnanhai, where all the political officials of the All-Heaven Dynasty dreamed of setting foot once or even living permanently, Tang Tianyao finally understood the meaning of these eight words.

As one of the benchmark figures of the Celestial Empire's economy, Tang Tianyao's safety can indeed affect the stability and harmony of society to a certain extent, so when the Tang family was in turmoil, the prince who had reached an agreement with Wang Fuxing directly sent someone to bring Tang Tianyao to Zhongnanhai in the name of protection.

It is said to be protection, but in fact it is house arrest in disguise.

On the first day Tang Tianyao was picked up, the Zhongnanhai bodyguards who brought him here politely told him that if it was not necessary, for his safety, the chief did not want him to leave the house.

For safety?

Hmph, what is this place? This is Zhongnanhai!

As long as there is no World War III, this can be said to be the safest place, to ensure his safety, leave this house, as long as he does not go out of Zhongnanhai, he is also very safe!

But under the roof, Tang Tianyao gritted his teeth and endured it, he could only pin his hope on Tang Ning in his heart, and then wait for news day after day.

However, it is true that he is not treated badly here, in addition to restricting his personal freedom and the right to communicate with the outside world, Tang Tianyao is serving him with good food and drink every day, and even assigned him a male nanny with strict professional training to serve his diet and daily life, which is completely the same treatment as the big man who lives here, so after staying here for two days, although Tang Tianyao is anxious in his heart, he can't get out of the anger in his stomach at all, and he is uncomfortable.

"Smack!"

Tang Tianyao threw a literary version of "Zizhi Tongjian" in his hand on the ground for the third time, his face became a little gloomy, there were many books in the house, neatly stuffed with a large bookshelf, this was also the only way for Tang Tianyao to pass the time, he was actually a person who loved to read, but in this situation, how could he read it? After reading less than a page of the book, I began to lose patience.

A middle-aged man who was sitting in front of Tang Tianyao and reading with him raised his head and glanced at Tang Tianyao, got up and picked up the book in front of him, with a respectful expression, and laughed softly: "Old Tang, let me make you a cup of tea." “

Tang Tianyao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his eyes were angry, but more helpless, the middle-aged man in front of him was the male nanny who was responsible for his diet and daily life, the so-called male nanny, but in fact he was a strictly trained Zhongnanhai bodyguard, very careful and experienced, Tang Tianyao could not say anything about this kind of person, and it was impossible to promise him a large sum of money to buy news, in the two days that the two lived together, Tang Tianyao asked a lot of questions, but the answers he got were pitiful.

"Xiao Sun, does the general secretary still have no time?"

Tang Tianyao asked unwillingly, and without waiting for the other party to answer, the light in his eyes had dimmed, but there was still a slight hint of hope.

The middle-aged man who was called Xiao Sun made a cup of tea slowly, and his technique was constantly sophisticated, but it was not jerky, good tea leaves, good tea sets, good tea, but the taste was not destined to be the best, he put the tea in front of Tang Tianyao, and laughed softly: "Why don't I report to you again?" ”

Tang Tianyao smiled slightly bitterly and sighed heavily, he knew most of the people in Zhongnanhai, and even the pillar of the Tang family in the political world lived here, but at present, the attitude of the big man who was promoted by the Tang family was obviously a little ambiguous, and the change of office was about to change, and the political career that was already brilliant enough would end soon, at this time, as long as he was not a fool, he didn't want to leave a stain on himself because of the Tang family's affairs.

Now that Tang Tianyao is staying here, he wants to see which leader has discussed, yes, some discussed, but that's all, see the general secretary? Yes, it's just that the general secretary hasn't had time lately. See number two? It's okay, but the second went abroad for a visit...

Tang Tianyao would report to whoever he wanted to see in front of the male nanny, and then let Tang Tianyao wait for the result, for two whole days, Tang Tianyao was already a little desperate now.

When will I be able to go out?

Do you really want to be rich and dangerous and ask to cooperate with that madman?

Tang Tianyao sat on the sofa, looking at the tea in front of him, the cold light in his eyes flickering.

He is very aware of the current situation, the party has been in less than a month, basically in the blink of an eye will usher in a new era, at this time, whether it is the general secretary he wants to see or the second he wants to see, he has begun to gradually delegate power appropriately, let the prince step by step, this time period, although they are still in that position, but they don't want to take care of things, the real power is in the hands of the prince, is the temporary ally of the Wang family!

At this time, it was too difficult for the Tang family to turn over.

Since the prince has already made up his mind, he naturally will not help the Wang family, and if he wants to stabilize the situation, he can only pay some price.

But is this price a little too much?

But if she stays here, can Ning'er really clean up the mess? Fighting against Wang Fuxing, Ning Er is afraid that she will already lose in her heart.

Tang Tianyao's face was cloudy, as if his face had changed, and the male nanny in front of him was suspicious, not knowing what this old fox was thinking now.

"Donald, do you want me to report? But today the general secretary is going to meet with foreign guests, so..."

The middle-aged man said softly, he said very implicitly, but he had already told Tang Tianyao unmistakably that the leader still didn't have time today.

Tang Tianyao gritted his teeth fiercely, a trace of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he seemed to have made a decision in an instant, raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said quietly: "I want to see Mayor Lin of Southwest City." ”

Although Lin Qingtian is the mayor of the southwest, as the highest-ranked member of the Central Committee, he has stayed in the capital before the plenum and has not returned to the southwest, and the friendship between Lin Qingtian and the prince is not a secret, so he is also in Zhongnanhai now, and it is not impossible for Tang Tianyao to see him.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, in the past two days, he heard Tang Tianyao ask to meet various big leaders countless times, but it was the first time he asked to see Lin Qingtian.

A student of the prince.

Is it to get rid of his intercession?

The middle-aged man's mind turned, but he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "I'll report it." ”

Tang Tianyao's face was a little pale, his breath was unstable, obviously this decision was not easy for him, hearing the other party's reply, he nodded, and said tiredly: "It's troublesome." ”

Lin Qingtian came quickly, he seemed to have been waiting for Tang Tianyao's news, and in less than twenty minutes, this middle-aged man who was about to become one of the core political personnel of the Celestial Empire had already appeared in front of Tang Tianyao.

The middle-aged man surnamed Sun was left outside by him, and in the small building, only he and Tang Tianyao were alone.

This is the first person to meet Tang Tianyao so happily in the past two days.

So when Lin Qingtian slowly sat in front of him, even if Tang Tianyao knew that this person was just a madman who wanted to take advantage of the Tang family, he was still a little moved in his heart.

"How is the Tang family?"

Tang Tianyao took the initiative to speak, without any brewing, and asked straight to the point.

"Donald has thought about it?"

Lin Qingtian smiled gently, answering the question.

Tang Tianyao frowned, took a cigarette handed over by the other party, lit it and took a deep breath before he said in a deep voice: "I want to know the situation of the Tang family first." ”

Lin Qingtian narrowed his eyes, leaned slightly on the sofa behind him, relaxed his body, and chuckled: "It's not good, it's not right, it should be said that it's very bad, the Tang family is still in a state of no one to manage, and the incident of the video door has also been completely spread, so far your Tang elite, I'm afraid less than half of it, all major departments are difficult to operate, and many companies and enterprises under its jurisdiction have also been acquired, some originally very good listed companies, because of the chaos of the Tang family, many shareholders have begun to sell their shares as junk stocks, It's all cheap for others, this cake is too big, although the Wang family accounts for the majority, but they can't swallow it all, there are a lot of crazy robbers. ”

Tang Tianyao Huo Ran got up, and in an instant, the face of this old man who had been in the Celestial Empire all his life was extremely pale, his eyes were red, he stared at Lin Qingtian, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it." ”

"It's really hard to believe the facts, especially the brutal ones."

Lin Qingtian said lightly: "Now the Tang family is the darling of the major media in the capital, and it is the headline of the newspaper, countless people are rushing to sing lamentations for the Tang family, sighing the end of an economic empire, although the Tang family chaos is very short, but everything is taken together, it has lost nearly 200 billion, if you can bear the loss of money, but there are too many potential troubles, such a Tang family, in less than a week, will lose its status in the Celestial Empire, too fast." ”

"Wang's child!"

Tang Tianyao's eyes were full of resentment and murderous aura, and his teeth gurgled and he gritted.

It's just that he quickly reacted again, his face turned even paler, he looked at Lin Qingtian nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "What about Ning'er?" Ning'er isn't outside? What the hell happened to her? ”

Could it be that Wang Fuxing killed Ning'er?

A terrible fact instantly appeared in Tang Tianyao's mind, his body shook violently, and he fell heavily on the sofa.

Downing.

An absolute business genius girl, as long as the Tang family has her, she can definitely create a near-miracle myth in the next few decades.

The Tang family can be greatly damaged, but if Tang Ning is gone, then all hope will basically be lost.

"She? She was taken away by the people of the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau, because the other party suspected that the Tang family and the foreign consortium had caused huge economic losses to the country. I can show you. ”

Lin Qingtian said with a smile, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to Tang Tianyao.

Tang Tianyao's palms trembled slightly, took the phone, and opened the video that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.

There are three videos in total.

One is a clip of Downing kneeling in the mourning hall.

There is also a few sentences of conversation between Tang Ning and Wang Fuxing in the imperial palace.

As for the third paragraph, it is at the gate of the Tang Group, Wang Fuxing holds Tang Ning in his arms.

There is still a conversation in the first two paragraphs, but the third paragraph is obviously a long-distance conversation, and you can only see the movements of the two, but you can't hear what the two are saying.

Tang Tianyao's throat was sweet, he wanted to vomit blood depressedly, and clutched his mobile phone tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.

"It's a smart thing to do."

Lin Qingtian laughed softly and squinted his eyes: "There are only Tang Ning and Xia Qinwei in the first video, as for the second video, although the relationship between the two seems to be discordant, Wang Fuxing personally said that he is friends with the Tang family, and shows that although the Wang family wants to help the Tang family, but there is nothing they can do, and what is even more sad is that your stupid granddaughter still gritted her teeth and admitted it, although this video is weird, but the third paragraph is not, look, Wang Fuxing's performance is too gentle, but Tang Ning is a little nonsense and willful, of course we all know what this is about, But this video has been circulated too widely, I think most people will not think that it was the Wang family who made the Tang family miserable when they saw this video, and more importantly, although we know that it was the Wang family's hand, but there is no evidence, so Wang Fuxing not only used the third video to clear the suspicion, but also did not leave any handle for my teacher, tsk, this young man is not simple. ”

"I'll work with you!"

Tang Tianyao saw that Lin Qingtian seemed to have the desire to continue, and directly interrupted him, and said in a cold tone.

Lin Qingtian opened his mouth, swallowed what he was about to say, the ecstasy in his eyes flashed, and he smiled calmly: "What do you want?" ”

"I ask to leave Zhongnanhai as soon as possible."

Tang Tianyao said coldly.

Lin Qingtian nodded unexpectedly and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Also, I want the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau to release Ning'er. and cleared the suspicion of the Tang family's crimes. ”

Tang Tianyao continued to mention the conditions.

"No problem."

Lin Qingtian continued to nod: "What else?" ”

Tang Tianyao thought for a while, shook his head, and said tiredly: "I want to go out first to see the situation outside, in short, you have to help me, since we cooperate, then we have to advance and retreat together, help me, that is, help yourself." ”

"I naturally understand this truth."

Lin Qingtian nodded and said solemnly, he looked at Tang Tianyao, his tone became serious, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Wealth and danger are sought, Tang Lao, I hope we can cooperate happily." ”

Tang Tianyao hesitated for a moment, and also stretched out his hand.

The moment the two shook hands, a hint of complexity flashed in their eyes.

From this moment on, both of them knew that neither Lin Qingtian nor the Tang family would have turned back.

Around noon.

Lin Qingtian stayed here for lunch.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Tang Tianyao left Zhongnanhai.

Tang Ning, the eldest lady of the Tang family, also left the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau-
