"Hey, George, how's your bar going?" A hooded man in black spoke, his voice low and hoarse, and it was clear that it was a man's voice.

"Not bad, global chain!" George took a sip of whiskey.

"Really? Do you have any plans for what's next? The man also drank a glass of whiskey, but neither invited the other.

"Not yet, what. Do you have a good opinion? If so, let's talk about it! I haven't seen you in years. George continued.

"Let's talk about a deal! How is it? The man seemed to have drunk a little too much, but the words still reached George's ears clearly.

"Business? Your business doesn't seem to be suitable for a small business like mine! George put down his glass and looked at the man in front of him.

"It just so happens that I'm just doing a small deal this time, which just fits your kind of small business, of course, it depends on whether you are willing or not?" The man didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and still drank the whiskey in his glass slowly.

"Oh, is that so? It depends on how much the deal is worth? George slowly shook the glass in his hand, as if it was not a whiskey at all, but a glass of red wine with crystal clear, ruby-shimmering amber droplets.

"A favor! You should know me, of course, since you know me, you also know that there are two more prerequisites for this favor.

First, count before I die, and everything will be nullified after death.

Second, not to violate my own principles. The man prescribed his own conditions word by word.

"Are you sure, there is something to this condition, tell me how to do this business?" George suddenly became interested, the business didn't seem to be easy to do, but he still wanted to try.

"Yes, but if I want to start from scratch, I have to pay the price, it's a bit far, old friend, let's talk about our business.

I need a bar branch, I'll be the owner of the branch for you! The man said his request slowly, but George was a little confused, this request seemed too simple, and it was not worth the price he offered.

"Why? Is this unbelievable? And, why don't you open your own? With your ability, I don't think it's a problem to open another George. George asked, as if George was no longer his name, but just the name of a chain of bars.

"It's been too long, you know, I'm tired of waiting, I can't wait that long, okay, friend, I've had enough of it, just in a week! The location, the storefront, I send it to you, and then you negotiate with the local government. The man said.

"Actually, it's not George, it's George's relationship with the government, right?" George looked at the text messages on his phone and said.

"The text message has been received, so you have agreed to this matter, come on! Have a drink together, Chels! The man raised the wine glass in his hand as he spoke, raised his head slightly, and drank it all, and George realized that he didn't know when there were some gray hairs on his head.

"Cheers, old man!" George said to the back of the person pushing the door away.

Nanjing, China.

Qin An looked at the map in front of him, and then made a phone call, and the beeping voice was long, making people's hearts a little restless and a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Hey!" Twenty seconds later, the phone was connected, and it was Bruce who was speaking.

"Hey, it's me, Qin An." The tone is low, and it makes people feel that something is wrong when they hear it.

"What's wrong?" Bruce remained calm, and he was constantly guessing the impact behind this sentence, but there seemed to be no warning, and he could only listen patiently.

"The situation may be out of our control?" Qin An carefully organized his language, and every word seemed to have a different weight.

"What do you say? This is China, China, don't tell me, in China, the situation can still get out of your control! The changes in his voice fluctuated, indicating that Bruce himself could no longer maintain the initial calm.

"I didn't expect it, but it's not the worst, but the Chinese Executive Directorate may not be able to help you much later, or you can only rely on yourself now." Qin An quickly said what he wanted to express.

"What the hell is going on?" Bruce continued.

"The government intervened, and the martial law in Hubei was imposed in the name of the college entrance examination, but how could it be such a big move with just one college entrance examination! I think it's been the recent move of yours that has alarmed the government. Qin An said that he had just gotten the news, this situation is rare, the whole province is under martial law, just like Xinjiang, and the state has implemented military control in order to prevent lawless people from destroying the peace of the motherland.

"Is that so? Are there any private channels? Or whether you can get more accurate information. Professor Bruce asked.

"It's very difficult, after the death of the previous director, we are rebuilding the national intelligence network, and many people have not yet been contacted, especially some important people, who are in one-line contact with the director, and this time, the director died too suddenly, so many things that should be explained have not been explained." Qin An said that his head was also hurting now, as if he had planned well, everything was going according to plan, and suddenly, a behemoth was inserted into the foot, which caught people off guard.

"Report to HQ and wait for orders." Bruce said.

"The headquarters order has come down, at any cost, keep Liu Jue." Qin An paused for a moment and then said, "There is also a second order: act independently, and bear the consequences!" ”

"Is that so? It seems that fate is starting to dislike us, but that's fine, everything doesn't need to be asked, so let's follow our plan! It's just that there is some trouble for the government to intervene, but since the reason is to maintain the college entrance examination, I think that after the college entrance examination is over, the government will get nothing, and it should be evacuated, and that is the beginning of the war.

Stop all activities on the periphery, all staff are silent, and everything is over for the college entrance examination. Bruce said.

The phone hung up, the dark clouds in the sky deepened, and the weather in June, the rainy season was coming.

"Ciel, tell the story, everyone is silent, dormant.

In addition, notify Li Ruochan and Chen Bai to ensure Liu Jue's safety. The wrinkles on Bruce's face seemed to deepen again, and his entire brow furrowed.

Hill waited for a while, got no other instructions, and left.

"Natasha, tell Kevin that the royal power has all been evacuated from Hubei and is waiting for instructions." Bruce's voice came into the shadows behind him.

The Triumph City Development Zone, which is in full swing at this time, is starting to renovate, the owner is a foreigner with some white hair, but he speaks fluent Chinese, if, do not look at his appearance, only listen to his voice, you must think that he is a resident of Beijing City.

Spliced wooden boards, some audio equipment, and a large group of foreigners who spoke fluent Chinese, a worker asked a little curiously: "Sir, who did you learn Mandarin from, and speak it so well?" ”

"Mandarin? I often watch news broadcasts, I like the way they speak, and it is through it that I learn about China, which is a great country with a group of great and lovely people. ”

The old man dressed very elegantly, like an elegant gentleman who came out of the British palace, he was also very kind, even in the face of these gray-faced workers, he did not have the slightest frame, always, after their work with them to discuss China, sometimes also talk about Florence, but, for these Chinese living at the bottom, they have heard of Italy, but do not necessarily know Florence, but everyone is still happy to listen to the elder's exotic observations.

"Sir, why did you choose to open a bar here?" A young man asked, he had some doubts in his heart, this is an ordinary town, it has indeed developed well in recent years, but the matter of foreigners investing in opening bars always feels like a fantasy!

"It's about to change here, so I'm here!" The old man looked at the dark clouds in the sky, the clouds were very thick, and it seemed that it would rain soon, but it never fell.

"Yes! Yes! Sir, you see, a few years ago we were full of mud houses here, and now there are many high-rise buildings, and the change is really fast! The workers began to talk about different changes, but the old man listened patiently, even if the words were not the same as his own.
