Su Kang's actions made everyone very angry, everyone was talking bad things about Su Kang to Fang Fan, and Fang Fan could only go in and out of his left ear. Zhang Ze saw that Fang Fan was a little disgusted, so he used the cheap tricks he had always been good at to help Fang Fan break the siege. After everyone dispersed, Zhang Ze took the bottle and handed it to Fang Fan.

"Everyone is also anxious, don't mind."

Fang Fan took a sip of wine and felt that his mood was much more stable.

"Of course, how can I bother with everyone."

"Have you thought about the next steps? What will the general do with the key? ”

Fang Fan spread out his hand and said.

"I don't know. I hope she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. ”

"I look at the hanging. She's a member of the Secret Crossing Society, and the Secret Crossing Society has always wanted to get the Phosphate Flint Mine, do you think she will not give the key to the Pope? ”

"Even if she gives the key to the Pope, we can't stop it. In fact, to put it bluntly, what will happen to the phosphate flint mine and what will happen to the dark crossing has little to do with us. As long as they don't get into trouble in the middle of the sea market. ”

"That's right. But now that the Heavenly Punishment Sect is becoming more and more powerful in Zhonghai City, no one can say what the Secret Crossing Association plans for Zhonghai City will be. ”

Fang Fan let out a long sigh and said.

"Church aggression is a terrible thing, and cult aggression is even more terrible."

"So we still have to find a way to drive the Heavenly Punishment Sect out of Zhonghai City."

"If you want to keep wildflowers from overflowing, you have to stifle the spreaders."

"What do you mean?"

"I still have to kill the cardinal. Oh, by the way, how's Hulai's situation? ”

"Much better. But he said that he would not go out with us in the future. ”

Fang Fan smiled miserably and said.

"It's no wonder, it's so thrilling that Hu Lai almost lost his life."

"But then again, this cardinal's vigilance is really high. I thought Hu Lai's method would work, but he still saw through it. ”

"You're still stupid, it's a cardinal, do you think this little trick will fool him?"

"Hey, it's just bitter."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were chatting in the bar, and in the end, they didn't discuss a specific solution, a lot of problems were piled up in front of Fang Fan like thousands of garbage, not only stinking, but also impossible to start. After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Ze went back to sleep. The bar hall is still lively, and Mishima is busy with their duties. Fang Fan looked at the lively scene in the hall, and suddenly had the idea of escaping from reality, if he could let go of the safety of the sea market like them, learn to live in peace with the impending disaster, and even drink and talk, maybe he would live a very easy life. As the old saying goes, troubles are always self-inflicted.

"Husband..."

Fang Fan turned around and saw Yue Han standing behind her, two blush quietly creeping up her cheeks. Yue Han walked over and hugged Fang Fan's waist and asked.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Fang Fan smiled faintly and said.

"No, I don't. When I see you, I feel very good. ”

Yue Han smiled and buried her head in Fang Fan's chest. Fang Fan held Yuehan in his arms, and the satisfaction and comfort filled his scarred heart. He finally understood what the reason why he couldn't stop, he wasn't so great for the common people, just to be able to hug the people he loved all the time.

The general looked at the old photo album in the house, the mother-in-law made a cup of tea and put it in the corner of the table, the fragrance of tea drilled into the general's brain like a thief, and the memories seemed to become colorful at this moment, the flower field in the photo was full of fragrance, and the little girl in the flower field was innocent. The general raised his head slightly and whispered.

"Thank you."

"General, the tea won't taste good when it's cold."

The general nodded, took a sip of his teacup, and asked.

"Mother-in-law, do you remember my name?"

"I don't remember."

The general set aside the teacup, and the ceramic teacup collided with the coaster with a crisp and pleasant sound.

"Do you remember, or are you afraid that I will be sad?"

The corners of the mother-in-law's mouth went up, but she didn't let out that weird laugh.

"Your name is your past, and we won't talk about it anymore."

The general got up and stood by the window, the floral dress reflected a beautiful shadow on the glass, matching the general's fair skin, completely looking like the girl next door.

"I miss the desert."

"We can go back at any time."

"What about here? Whatever? ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said.

"When you're my age, you'll know that it's not that important at all, it's just a bit of vanity. Why don't you make a cup of tea and search for memories, maybe you can find some surprises. ”

"Is life so boring for the elderly?"

"The eyes of young people are always looking ahead, and at that time, because the road is still long, they don't bother to look back at the road they have walked. The elderly always like to look back at the road they have walked, because there is not much left of the road ahead, so they often look back to express their reluctance to the world. ”

"If that's the case, then I'd rather never be old for the rest of my life."

The mother-in-law laughed and said.

"Then I can't promise that I can take care of you all the time."

The general hugged his mother-in-law and said.

"I'll do whatever it takes to snatch you back from the hands of time, so you can watch the road ahead with me."

The mother-in-law laughed.

"Roar, roar... You can't be so cruel to the elderly. ”

The general was stunned, and said after a moment.

"Isn't eternal life a lucky thing?"

The mother-in-law put away the teacup on the table and said.

"Could it be?"

The mother-in-law walked to the kitchen with the teacup to be washed, and whispered before going out the door.

"Eternal life is precious only in the eyes of those who have regrets at the end of their lives."

The general looked at the back of her mother-in-law leaving, she only knew that only being alive was the most beautiful thing, because she had no strength left to face death. As the sun set, the general handed the key to his mother-in-law again.

"General, what does this mean?"

"Then to the cardinal."

"But he refused last time."

"It's okay, we're going to show our sincerity."

"Understood."

The mother-in-law stepped on the path paved by the stars to the villa, and the cardinal descended to greet her.

"Why are you visiting at this time?"

The mother-in-law handed the key to the cardinal and said.

"The general asked me to give you the key."

"I made it clear last time..."

The mother-in-law interrupted the cardinal.

"Obviously, the general wants you to accept her sincerity. After all, in the future, you and the general will be in a cooperative relationship, and the affairs of Zhonghai City will require you to join forces. Don't you trust the general? ”

The cardinal hurriedly said.

"No, no, no, of course not, I absolutely trust the general. It's just that I'm a little flattered by this sudden beauty, so you might as well tell me what the general means directly. ”

The mother-in-law put the key back into her pocket and said.

"Looks like no matter what I say, you won't believe it. In that case, I took my leave. ”

Seeing that his mother-in-law's attitude had taken a 180-degree turn, the cardinal was a little panicked and hurriedly said.

"Mother-in-law stays."

"Anything else?"

"It's me who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I'll accept the key, please go back and thank the general for me."

An eerie laugh squeezed out of her mother-in-law's throat, and she handed the key to the cardinal. After the mother-in-law left, the cardinal held the hot potato and didn't know what to do, so he could only lock it in the safe first. It was nearly midnight, and the cardinal was tossing and turning in bed.

When the mother-in-law returned, she saw that the general had fallen asleep on the sofa, and there was the sound of chopping wood cracking in the fireplace. Especially at night, this kind of sound can always give people a sense of peace of mind and steadiness. The mother-in-law put the blanket on the general and kissed her lightly on the forehead. The general woke up in a daze and said.

"Mother-in-law, are you back? Great work. ”

"Sorry to bother you."

The general stretched, yawned, and said.

"It's okay, I'm almost asleep. Are things going well? ”

"He's got the key."

The general suddenly came to his senses, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.

"Very well, without further ado, I will go to see the Pope early tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Zhang Ze, who was full of alcohol, saw Mishima wiping his glass in the bar, he sat next to the bar and said.

"Wake up so early."

Mishima suddenly let out a long sigh and said.

"Hey, before the end of the world, be diligent."

Hearing this, Zhang Ze suddenly had an indescribable feeling, it felt like eating a dead fly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not that I'm complaining about Fang Fan. You say that he left such an important thing to Su Kang to the enemy, I really don't know what he thinks. ”

"Are you blaming the old man?"

"It's not that I blame him, I just think he did something wrong with this."

Zhang Ze felt awkward in his heart and said.

"I don't think it's anything, it's Su Kang's thing, it's his freedom to deal with what he likes, and the old party also respects his choice and will let Su Kang deal with it himself. I don't think we need to make any irresponsible comments about it. ”

Mishima was silent for a long time, and suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"You two wear a pair of pants, and you naturally face him."

Although the voice was small, Zhang Ze still listened to it and then said.

"Mishima, why did you become like this?"

Mishima also lost his temper and said.

"Am I wrong? By doing so, Fang Fan was obviously throwing our safety aside. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ze frowned in surprise and said.

"Mishima, you can't say that. Which time was not Lao Fang rushing to the front, since you took a back seat, has he ever complained. Every time, you always persuade me, for fear that your self-esteem will hurt, and don't let me talk nonsense. Now that you have encountered a little problem, you actually say this to the old side, you can really do it. ”

After a moment, Mishima felt that his words were a little too much and said.

"No, I didn't mean that. I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Alright, don't talk about it. If you say so, then others must have similar thoughts as you, Lao Fang really met a group of white-eyed wolves. ”

"Hey, Zhang Ze, where are you going?"

Zhang Ze strode out of the bar, and didn't look back even if Mishima called him behind his back. Zhang Ze went straight to Fang Fan's house, and after a burst of slamming the door like a torrential rain, Fang Fan opened the door with sleepy eyes.

"It's a door, not a drum."

Zhang Ze ignored Fang Fan and sat on the sofa. Fang Fan looked at his strange appearance and asked.

"What's wrong with you? Constipation? ”

"You still have the heart to joke, do you know what they say about you?"

Fang Fan yawned, took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, and asked.

"What did they say?"

"They say... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

Fang Fan smiled and said.

"They must be complaining about me."

Zhang Ze raised his eyes and looked at Fang Fan, only to see that he looked as if nothing had happened, and then said.

"Yes, they all complain that you didn't stop Su Kang's brain-dead aiding and abusive behavior."

"What about you?"

"What can I do, I came to you after a quarrel with Mishima."

Fang Fan poured Zhang Ze a glass of milk and said.

"There's no alcohol at home, drink some milk and go to the fire."

Zhang Ze suddenly raised a tone and said.

"Can you still sit still?"

"Shhhh Yuehan is still sleeping. ”

"You're so calm."

Fang Fan took a puff of cigarette, then exhaled a long breath and said.

"It's normal for them to think that, no matter who else they do. I'm not a god, and I can't do everything perfectly. In addition, I can't stop them, and whatever I want to say is people's freedom. ”

"But it's not like we've paid for it, and it's a bit too much for them to say that."

"Okay, I'm not angry, what are you angry about. Sometimes you do the right thing as you should, but if you accidentally make a mistake, even a small one, it can be fatal in the eyes of others. It's hard for others to remember what you did right, but it's easy to remember the mistakes you made. Human nature, sometimes angels, sometimes devils. ”

Zhang Ze drank the milk and said.

"If you say that, I want to join the Heavenly Punishment Sect. There's not so much to worry about. ”

With that, Zhang Ze walked towards the gate, and Fang Fan called him from behind.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll take Wanli back."

Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze's back and shook his head, at this time his phone rang, it was Liu Anguo calling.

"Lao Liu."

"Fang Fan, you hurry up and come to the police station, the Wu Bureau has something to look for you."

Fang Fan cleaned up, put the prepared breakfast on the table, and then went out to the police station. As soon as he arrived at the police station, he saw Liu Anguo pacing back and forth at the door of Wu Binlong's office, Liu Anguo saw Fang Fan and hurriedly greeted him, and said.

"You're here."

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

"I've been waiting for you here, just to sue you that the director is mad, and as soon as he came in the morning, he said with a black face that he wanted to see you. He also asked me where you went, how do I know where you went, but he scolded me. ”

Fang Fan patted Liu Anguo on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you. It's okay, I'm not here, I'll bear something. ”

Fang Fan knocked on the door of the office, and Wu Binlong's cold voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Fang Fan walked into the office and saw Wu Binlong sitting behind his desk with a pale face. If the general leader has such an expression, there must be something, and it is not a trivial matter.

"Wu Ju, what's going on?"

Wu Binlong stood up and shouted.

"Fang Fan, you're going too far."

Fang Fan asked with a blank expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you embarrassed to ask me, what did you do?"

Fang Fan looked at Wu Bin's high-spirited official authority and sneered and said.

"You'd better get it straight. I really don't know. ”

"What kind of attitude do you have?"

"You're calm and calm."

Wu Binlong sighed, sat down and took a sip of water, and then said.

"Fang Fan, you're too confused about this, how can you give up the key?"

Hearing this, Fang Fan was stunned and asked.

"How do you know?"

"You don't care about it, anyway, I want you to get the key back as soon as possible."

Fang Fan sensed that there must be something hidden in this, and then said.

"Wu Ju, to put it bluntly, this matter is still a family matter between Su Zude and Su Kang, and it may not be good if I interfere too much. What's more, the key is also someone else's thing, and what Su Kang disposes of is his freedom. ”

"You..."

Wu Binlong's face was even more ugly, and he was silent for a long time and said.

"That's true, but it's not a painting, a piece of paper, or a will. This is something related to the safety of Zhonghai City, and now it has fallen into the hands of the enemy, if something happens to Zhonghai City, are you responsible? ”

Fang Fan smiled faintly and said.

"I've always been responsible for the safety of Zhonghai City, have you forgotten why I joined the Shadow Force in the first place?"

"Fang Fan, if you are so leaderless again, I have the right to expel you from the Black Shadow Force."

Wu Binlong, who has always been calm, reacted a little too abnormal today. Fang Fan felt very strange, so he asked.

"Wu Bureau, is the key related to the interests of the Black Shadow Force? Since you want me to respect you like a leader, please respect me as well, and if you have anything to say, you may as well say it. ”

"You sit down."

Fang Fan sat on the sofa and waited for Wu Binlong to speak.

"Let's be honest with you. In fact, grandpa has long paid attention to the secret crossing meeting, and has long planned to annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

"The Dark Cross Society has existed for thousands of years, can the Shadow Force do it?"

Wu Binlong snorted coldly and said.

"Although the Secret Crossings Society has existed for thousands of years, it also means that its problems have also lasted for thousands of years. The reason why the Dark Cross Society is so anxious to get the phosphate flint mine is that it is eager to solve its own problems. ”

"What's the problem?"

"If we can't find any more souls that can be used to trade with demons, the Darkcrossing Society will be completely depleted."

"You mean, the Underworld is now on the verge of dying?"

"That's right. Now is the best time to annihilate them in one fell swoop, but one of your decisions gives them new hope, and you say that you are extremely confused about what you are doing. ”

The grievances between the Dark Shadow Force and the Dark Crossing Society still made Fang Fan feel very strange, even if the Dark Shadow Force played the role of a World Justice Force, but the Dark Crossing Society had not had any large-scale operations for a long time, and many places in Europe had already acquiesced to its existence. It's a bit strange that the Shadow Force suddenly wants to eradicate it.

"Wu Bureau, it's not that I listen to your orders, it's just that you can tell me about the origin of the Shadow Force and the Dark Crossing Society. It's really hard for me to understand how the two could have such an intersection. ”

Wu Binlong sighed and said.

"Actually, the Shadow Force has been keeping an eye on the movements of the Dark Crossing, and I'm sure you've already understood what they're doing. It's fundamentally inhumane, and while it does help some people escape the cruelty of reality for a while, those who have been helped have gone insane. Instead of putting a stop to it, those countries in Europe have acquiesced in this inhumane act. ”

"So the Shadow Force is going to eradicate it?"

"Don't you think there's a need to eradicate it?"

"Maybe it's my short-sightedness, I think as long as it doesn't endanger the safety of Zhonghai City, there is no need to meddle, unless it is to benefit from it."

What do you mean by that? Do you think the Shadow Force is doing this for their own selfish gain? ”

Fang Fan looked at Wu Binlong, who was excited again, and it was really getting more and more strange, and Fang Fan said after a while.

"I didn't mean that, I just thought the Shadow Force was a little too much. Since the Secret Crossing Society did not endanger the interests of the Shadow Army, then why bother. ”

"Enough, you don't understand what righteousness is."

"Well, it's my pattern that's too small."

"Since you think that you can ignore things that don't harm your own interests, then I will tell you clearly now, if the Secret Cross Society and the Heavenly Punishment Sect get the phosphate flint mine, then their next goal is to turn Zhonghai City into their puppet land, do you still think this matter is irrelevant?"

"Wu Ju, I think you have misunderstood. I never thought that it was a trivial matter for the Secret Cross Society and the Heavenly Punishment Sect to obtain the Phosphate Fire Mine, and the reason why I didn't make a move was that more than half of the citizens of Zhonghai City had joined the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and if I did it now, it would probably hurt innocent citizens. ”

"Citizen, those people have long since become puppets of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and they are already a group of hopeless puppets, you don't have to think about this."

Wu Binlong's words shocked Fang Fan again, he took his hands out of his pockets and said as he opened the door of Wu Binlong's office.

"Wu Ju, I want you to understand one thing. It is precisely because of those citizens that Zhonghai City deserves to be protected, otherwise Zhonghai City is nothing more than a dead city. ”

After that, Fang Fan left the police station without looking back. Wu Binlong sat in the office angrily, and the anger in his heart was not subsided for a long time.

At this time, the general had already arrived in the holy city where the Pope was, and she had been brewing emotions for a long time before going to meet the Pope, and she had to show her grievances, otherwise her plan would not be able to go smoothly.

"The Pope."

"General, sit down and talk."

The general sat next to the Pope and said with tears in his eyes.

"Pope, I've got the key."

The Pope suddenly stood up excitedly and said.

"Really? Give him to me. ”

"But it was snatched by the cardinal."

The Pope asked, puzzled.

"How so?"

"I don't know, he just snatched it out of nowhere, and used his identity as the bishop of the Heavenly Punishment Sect to suppress me, saying that if I don't give it to him, he will break my body into ten thousand pieces."

"Didn't you convey my words to him?"

"I relayed it, but he didn't care."

"Let him come to me."

The general wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly.

"He can't be blamed for this, after all, I violated his authority..."

The Pope immediately interrupted him and said.

"I said, let him come to me."

At this time, the general showed a sly smile under the cover of his palm, and said softly.

"Yes."
