1. Invitation (II)
Fan Xin and Peng Hu took a few obviously forged ID cards, got up and packed their things, and prepared to find a place to live on another street. There are hundreds of inns in the ancient city of Phoenix, as long as it is not a public holiday, let alone a week, you don't have to worry about living for several months in rotation.
It didn't take long to move in, and it wasn't a hassle to leave, and Mei Lanting's luggage hadn't been opened yet.
Fan Xin took a few steps slower, thinking about why Zhu Tong was so careful, was he afraid that Li Songhan would lead someone to Phoenix City? Fan Xin just got the exact news that due to the previous failure, Li Songhan has been recalled; There is no indication that another group of people is performing a similar mission.
Senator Lehman may believe that Tan Qianchi really has $500 million in assets in the United States, so he happily replied to the topic that the uranium Zhutong arranged for him. As an American political figure, Lehman needed a certain amount of exposure to catch the public's eye.
Zhu Tong went so far as to ask a U.S. senator to use Tan Qianchi's green card status to make irresponsible remarks about China's human rights situation! The depth of his scheming and the strangeness of his tricks are breathtaking.
A rich man with huge assets in the United States, a mysterious rich man with a US green card who is imprisoned by the Chinese government, this topic is attractive enough. On the surface, Zhu Tong's participation angle chosen for him is very neutral, and whether Tan Qianchi is a criminal or not, it is always appropriate to express his concern and dissatisfaction from the perspective of human rights. Not only can Lehman and the U.S. government, represented by Lehman and his Senators, be given the moral high ground, but it can also show the Chinese public that the U.S. system is superior.
Fan Xin does not believe in Tan Qianchi's "500 million US dollars" net worth, and he believes that Zhu Tong cannot have the ability to investigate Tan Qianchi's assets in the United States. But even if it is a rumor, it must not be much different from the actual situation.
What he didn't know was that the information about Tan Qianchi's assets that Zhu Tong said was not groundless, but the result of synthesizing the clues obtained from Jiang Xiaoyu and Lan Zhanjiang.
Peng Hu thought in his heart that Zhu Tong would not allow him to use this computer to connect to the Internet, and that he could only go to the Internet café to collect information on the Internet, which was understandable. What is incomprehensible is that Zhu Tong does not allow him to contact Cheng Feng and Tai Haiyan, he can only send text messages, and he doesn't even know where they are now.
On the way to Phoenix, Peng Hu thought that he was the executor of the whole plan, but now he realized that he was just a chess piece.
Fan Xin walked out of the Chen Family Inn with Mei Lanting and Peng Hu's front and back feet, and just walked under the Rainbow Bridge, three people appeared in front of him.
"Xiao Yang, are you here too?" Peng Hu knew the young man in the middle, who was Yang Hui, Zhu Tong's driver.
"Yes, the boss asked me to pick you up and take you to a place, he wants to see you." Yang Hui said casually, and the other two people had already sandwiched Peng Hu in the middle, one left and one right.
"Great, I was just about to see him, where's the boss?" The situation that Peng Hu had been worried about came true, and the boss didn't believe him at all, but just treated him as an envoy. The so-called assistants and consultants are nothing more than dispensable garlands; By the end of that call, his mission had been accomplished.
However, he did not resist, knowing that not only would it not do any good, but that he would lose the rewards that he was about to lose.
Fan Xin took a few steps back, silently watching Peng Hu's back disappear on the steps of the Hongqiao.
Qingmei Qi appeared beside him and said leisurely: "Mr. Lehman will be free when he leaves Shanghai, and the boss still needs him, this time is just a small test." This is not a trivial matter, and the boss has to do so. The boss asked me to tell my husband that the facts are all made by people, and that is just the result; It doesn't matter how the truth is, what matters is the reason behind the facts. Sir must understand, huh? ”
"I don't need to explain, I understand the severity." Fan Xin smiled bitterly.
"Sir is so smart, actually, I don't understand what the boss said." Qingmei smiled apologetically, turned around and returned to the Chen Family Inn.
Fan Xing turned Zhu Tong's words in his heart a few times, and suddenly understood the difference between him and ordinary people. Zhu Tong does not attach importance to the facts, and is more adept at using what is hidden behind the facts. When he plans something, in order to achieve the goal, he will use various methods to interfere and guide the thinking of his opponents and even bystanders, so as to create a situation in his favor.
For example, Mr. Lehman's visit to Shanghai this time and his concern for the "Peach Blossom Pond Water" is really a very trivial thing. It is conceivable that the shock caused by Lehman will touch the interests of some people.
But the bigger significance is that this shaking will bring more attention, which in turn will affect the course of the whole situation.
If he hadn't heard the phone call between Peng Hu and Mr. Lehman before seeing the things on the USB drive, Fan Xin would have thought that Zhu Tong was too cautious. Now, Fan Xin regretted it a little: maybe the Dao Sect shouldn't have been caught up in this whirlpool.
Although Fan Xin knew that Zhu Tong meant to use Lehman's status as a senator to push the "Peach Blossom Pond Water" incident to a considerable height, so that higher-level people had to come forward to express their stance in order to help Wang Xiangjiao tide over the difficulties. But judging by the insight and realm of mortal hearts, that kind of game is not something that Zhu Tong can afford.
"Let's go." Fan Xin took Mei Lanting's hand and walked up to the rainbow bridge.
He will not stay in Phoenix City, in the next few days, Fan Xin will work with Mei Lanting in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and contact a few mysterious but ordinary people.
As a senior participant in this campaign and a collaborator of Zhu Tong, Fan Xin received another instruction, and also saw how deep Zhu Tong's layout was.
At that time, "Peach Blossom Pond Water" will not only be a taboo on the beach, when the facts are not just facts and are dyed with other colors, the reason behind the facts will no longer be a secret.
Politics is a kind of high-level bargaining, and the reason why the "Peach Blossom Pond Water" is mysterious and the reason why the process of investigation and punishment is so heavy is not because the case is "major", but because of its complexity, it involves many officials in Shanghai and even affects the political arena at a higher level.
Lehman is a weighty weight, and when you press it, you can win or lose.
However, this is a sharp double-edged sword, if it can't be mastered and used well, but it is taken advantage of by the opponent to fight back, Zhu Tong and Wang Xiangjiao will never turn over.
Thinking of the reward that the Dao Sect would receive, Fan Xin decided to wait. If Zhu Tong could not return to Shanghai after Mr. Lehman arrived, he would have asked Yu Xuan to withdraw anyway.
Fan Xin suddenly felt that everything around him was so unfamiliar, including Mei Lanting, whom he had always felt to know very well.
"You, don't think too much, this is the rivers and lakes." Mei Lanting twisted his heart.
"Yes, this is the rivers and lakes." Fan Xin sighed helplessly. Although Mei Lanting didn't know what happened just now, and she didn't know that Peng Hu made the phone call to the United States, she naturally stood on the side of Jianghu Dao, that is, Zhu Tong's side.
No wonder the fourth-grade fiery red and the fifth-grade Qingyang are so crazy, although the rivers and lakes cannot be seen or touched, they have become an inviolable part of these people's lives.
What he didn't realize was that he really integrated into the rivers and lakes at this time and regarded himself as a person in the rivers and lakes.
It was already the evening of May 18 when Zhu Tong and Ye'er returned to the Butterfly Cave.
If you follow Ye'er's meaning, set up a tent on the shore of Crescent Lake and live for a few days.
She couldn't see enough of everything there, she couldn't love enough, she loved the tall old maple tree and the large flock of butterflies scattered in the canyon, and when she left, she hugged the maple tree with tears in her eyes and refused to let go for a long time. Zhu Tong is also a little nostalgic, the crescent lake water is extremely clear, the valley is not big, in it, there is really a feeling of getting out of the hustle and bustle.
When he went, he ran all the way, and Zhu Tong didn't have time to time, and he didn't know how far the Crescent Lake was from the Butterfly Cave.
walked all the way back, only to know that he and Ye'er were so capable of running. This way, at least 50 kilometers, and it is either mountains or water, in their current state, it also took more than three hours.
Cookie didn't come back with them, he went back to Phoenix.
Zhu Tong said to Ye'er that Cookie was going to buy some food and daily necessities.
"Why don't you go back to live in Phoenix? I miss Aunt Chen. Ye'er asked.
"Because Phoenix is not safe."
"Staying here for a long time?"
"Stay for a few days, no more than a week at most. Ye'er, do you remember what Aunt Chen said to you? Zhu Tong didn't dare to let Ye Er ask any more, when he would be able to return to Phoenix City, he was not very sure at all.
"What did you say?" Ye Er asked blankly.
"How do I know?" Zhu Tong put down a stone in his heart. Ye'er recovered completely, but forgot everything that had happened in the past ten days. It's best to finally get rid of that terrible spell and never have to explain that you're not a murderer anymore.
Ye Er looked at Zhu Tong, her eyes and expressions "/\Mobile phone access/a/p.///x/.c/o/m" seemed to say: I'm lying again.
Zhu Tong's only choice can only turn a blind eye, Ye'er, it is becoming more and more difficult to deceive.
"Am I a master now?" Ye Er pointed to the ground on tiptoe and jumped lightly onto the boulder at the mouth of the canyon.
"Super master." Zhu Tong grinned. He didn't lie completely, if you talk about light exercises, there are few people in the rivers and lakes who can be more clever than Ye'er. At this moment, Ye Er was vigorous and generous, if it wasn't for the strange posture similar to a rhinoceros looking at the moon, it would be more feeling. It's no wonder that she hasn't learned any moves at all, and Zhu Tong hasn't learned either, he has always thought that those things are bluffing, and the real fight relies on internal strength, eyesight, strength, speed, adaptability and experience.
Stances and routines are only one of the ways to accumulate proficiency and strain, but they are not the only ones.
Ye'er is not used to the current state, and it can be said that he has not yet accepted the changes brought by the butterfly god. On the shore of Crescent Lake, Ye'er pulled cookies and tried it. She jumped higher and faster than Cookie, but she never hit Cookie's shoulder.
Cookie is also a big child, and he doesn't know how to make moves, especially in the face of a beautiful woman like Ye'er; He can always easily pat Ye'er on the shoulder.
Patting the other party's shoulder is the winning or losing condition agreed between Ye'er and Cookie. Zhu Tong refused to compete with Ye'er, but Ye'er didn't entangle him because he had a waist injury.
"But I don't have a weapon to hand in yet." Ye Er stretched out her hand with a mischievous smile on her face.
"I'll use this for now." Zhu Tong took out Feng Zhuo Qingyu, jumped on the boulder, and hugged Ye Er into his arms.
"Beware of being seen." Ye Er twisted her waist and easily avoided it; I didn't forget to catch Feng Zhuo Qingyu. She landed on the slightly lower lying cow stone next to her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Just give me a pen, stingy ghost, if there is any mysterious magic weapon, hand it over quickly." ”
"Don't dare to talk nonsense, this pen name is Feng Zhuo Qingyu, which is a magic weapon, one of the three instruments of Zhumen, which is the most suitable for Ye'er." Zhu Tong stood on the boulder with a little regret, and the entrance of the butterfly cave could be seen here; No wonder Ye'er wants to dodge.
"Feng Zhuo Qingyu, it sounds very good. But how? Ye Er couldn't put it down when she held Feng Zhuo Qingyu, she didn't like sharp weapons such as swords, she was just making a show just now.
"Feng Zhuo Qingyu is a pen, what can a pen do?"
"Write, draw."
"It's writing, it's just that Feng Zhuo Qingyu's writing is different from ordinary pens, it doesn't need ink." Zhu Tong took the opportunity to explain the magic of Feng Zhuo Qingyu, from historical legends to recent events, and listened to Ye Er with suspicion; She didn't believe it at all.
Feng Zhuo Qingyu is indeed very delicate and beautiful, but exquisite and beautiful has nothing to do with magic.
