On the golden curved dome, the gorgeous classical palace lamps hang high, and the bright and soft light is projected, shining on the crystal carved railing to inspire a lot of magnificent light and shadow.

The Zhou Meng sisters each held a glass of red wine, leaned on the railing, and quietly watched the crowd coming and going in the noisy hall.

"Why do you want to do this?" Zhou Meng stared at the crystal wine glass in his hand with both eyes, and asked without raising his head.

"You mean that?" Zhou Yun shook his left hand and smiled disappreciatively:

"If I don't wear this ring, then the difference between us, won't he easily see the difference? The next plan is not very easy to do! ”

Zhou Meng smiled coldly and said slightly sarcastically: "Originally, I thought so, but now I realize that this is just a beautiful excuse!" My good sister, what do you think in your heart, can you still hide it from me, who is a sister? ”

"I don't know when you started beating him?"

Regarding the accusation of her sister, Zhou Yun looked calm: "Yes, I do think so!" And don't be busy getting angry first, I just ask you one thing: between the family and him, if you could only choose one side, what would you do? ”

Zhou Meng's face was slightly sluggish, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Can't you take care of both?" ”

"No way!" Zhou Yun said categorically,

"Although I have known him for a shorter time than you, people have long seen this problem, he is by no means the kind of person who is willing to cling to the power of a wealthy family! Not before, not now, and not in the future! Otherwise, how can you explain that the relationship between you and him has not progressed for a long time? ”

Zhou Meng was silent, she understood that her sister was right, and the reason why Xiao Junling had been unwilling to give her the title was because there was no solution to this problem.

But the top of the family will not give up this huge interest easily, and she, who always puts the family first, can hardly convince herself to give up everything and follow him. So now the two sides are frozen like this.

Zhou Yun looked at her sister's expression and continued: "If I don't join, your relationship won't change substantially even in another ten years!" And as he grows up in the future, he will only meet more and more excellent women, and when he finally loses patience and comes together with other women, what can you do? ”

"Sister, he is a piece of jade that you found with your own hands, but you can't hold him in your hands now! If you want to have both bear paws and fish, you will end up with nothing! ”

"And I, don't have so many complicated ideas! As long as I can get my own happiness, as for the rest, I don't want to care, and I can't care about it at all! ”

Zhou Meng said slightly angrily: "Do you only care about yourself and don't care about the interests of the family?" Don't forget that you can achieve where you are now, it is the family's resource investment that has made you who you are! ”

The family gives you fine food and clothing, and spends huge high-quality resources to cultivate you, so you naturally have to repay the family and always put the interests of the family first! This is the philosophy she has been instilled in since she was a child, and it is also the credo that she has always followed.

But her sister's words have obviously completely violated this crucial family rule, and it is naturally difficult for her to accept.

"How much the family spends on me, I will naturally repay the family in the future, and even more!" Zhou Yun said calmly,

"But I never thought that the family had the right to interfere with my personal happiness! Sister, you care so much about the interests of the family and the feelings of those old guys, but how can they ever take into account our feelings? ”

She pointed to the crowd in the hall below, and a cold smile appeared on her pretty face: "In the eyes of those old guys, we are just beautifully packaged goods, or fattened pigs, and now, we can finally take them out and sell them!" And this place is what they see as a place of trading! ”

"The so-called family interests are important, to put it bluntly, we are to sell us at a good price, and whoever gives the highest price will sell it to whom! It doesn't matter if the person who will press on us in the future is a human being, a ghost, or something other disgusting! Whether we are doing well or not is not at all on their list! ”

"No...... It's not like this, sister ......" Zhou Meng tried to refute her words, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that she couldn't come up with any strong arguments to overturn her sister's point of view.

Zhou Yun's words are really not good, but they point out the essence of the problem! These women, who come from wealthy families and have unlimited scenery, are just meat on the board, waiting for someone to give enough price in the future to buy them like goods.

Zhou Yun sneered: "Have you forgotten our cousin Zhou Qinghui? Back then, our appearance and talent were not inferior to ours in the slightest, but we were pointed out by our amiable and respectable grandfather to a scoundrel who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and was also psychopathic and perverted, just because his Lao Tzu was the energy minister of the empire! As a result, within a few years of hard work, he was tortured to death, and he didn't even have a single heir! ”

"And that aunt, who is not a few years older than us, was actually accused of being an old and ugly scumbag, just because that bastard held a few rich overseas territories in his hands, and was bullied and insulted by that old immortal every day, and was sent by that bastard to play with those big people in exchange for the benefits he wanted!"

"I'd rather have nothing than be sold like the most lowly girl!"

"......" Zhou Meng's face turned pale, biting her lower lip and not speaking.

Zhou Yun paused, and threw out another message that almost made her collapse:

"You know the way, right? That old perverted and perverted emperor of Fusang is dying! So that little pervert and pervert recently came to the imperial capital, planning to choose a wealthy woman to go back to be his so-called queen, your sister I am unfortunate to be favored by that disgusting guy! ”

"But it's a pity that because you haven't been able to let Xiao Junling enter the family for a long time, our family master has changed his mind and plans to sell you! Then I went to date Xiao Junling, and the result was the same anyway. ”

“…… Are you telling the truth? Zhou Meng's delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Yun glanced at her with pity: "The dowry that guy brought is the permanent ownership of the five first-level resource star domains, as well as 300,000 tons of rare metal minerals, 15,000 large deep space transport ships, and a sub-artifact. Check it out! Your flesh is still worth a lot! ”

"Click!"

The wine glass in Zhou Meng's hand turned into pieces, like snow skin being scratched, and red blood mixed with wine flowed down, staining the snow-white carpet under his feet.

Zhou Yun looked at her sister's dejected appearance, sighed faintly, hugged her gently and said:

"You get the idea, right? Xiao Junling's approach is not wrong at all! It's you, and the family, that's wrong! If you want to control your own happiness in your hands, you can't hope for the conscience of those old guys! ”

"Now, are you sure what to do?"

……

“…… Last time, my father asked me to express my gratitude to you on his behalf," Wei Qinghao poured a big gulp of wine into his mouth, and said to Xiao Junling:

"If it weren't for the fact that you were kidnapped by that princess, giving us an excuse to make trouble and forcing the empress to make concessions, I'm afraid the alliance negotiations between the two countries would have ended in vain!"

"It's a pity that you came back intact, if you can get some injuries, maybe we can get more benefits from that majesty's hand!"

Xiao Junling couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, what did this guy think of himself? It's really straightforward to speak!

"It's depressing, isn't it?" Zhao Ziyan, who was sitting beside him, grabbed his hand, rubbed it in his palm, and said with a smile:

"Don't be surprised, that's what the old man of his family said, those old bastards who are on top! It's such a mercenary virtue, just get used to it, get used to it! ”

Wei Qinghao nodded vigorously and said busily: "That's right, that's it, and I want to tell you one more news: the intelligence network of the Qingqiu Empire in the imperial capital has received a secret order, always keep an eye on your whereabouts, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, I still have to try to get you back to the Qingqiu Empire!" ”

"So, be careful when you go out in the future! While the Temple of the Silent Star will certainly send competent men to protect you, it is always better to be cautious in everything. ”

Although Xiao Junling was a little surprised by this, it was not difficult to understand.

After this incident passed, he must have registered in the top-secret database of this superpower, and he belonged to the group of people who deserved the most attention.

For these high-value talents, the other party will inevitably try their best to buy, lure, and co-opt, so that they are violently coerced or even kidnapped to get them to the Qingqiu Empire. If it doesn't work, they will be killed, so as not to threaten the interests of the empire in the future.

Of course, having said that, this kind of thing has been done by the security departments of almost all major countries, including the Chinese Empire.

The national interest comes first, and all overt and covert means may be used.

Wei Qinghao took out a box and threw it over: "What my dead ghost dad means is that no matter what, you can be regarded as a contribution to the empire, so this is a reward for you." ”

He took it and opened it, and inside was a beautifully made dark red identity card, heavy in his hand, which seemed to be made of unknown precious metal, with a striking black dragon head emblem on it, and the autograph of the archon in the corner of the card.

"This is an S+-class Shadow Agent ID card issued by the Imperial Security Council," he explained with a solemn expression.

"With this thing, any future actions you take in the empire will be protected and supported by the empire's security system, even if there are some violations of the law, it must be personally interrogated by my dead ghost father to decide how to deal with it!"

"In the event of a threat to your personal safety, you can ask the Empire's security and defense forces to provide sufficient support anytime and anywhere, even if you are abroad, if necessary, you have the right to mobilize the local secret intelligence forces belonging to the Empire for your use!"

Xiao Junling couldn't help but be awe-inspired, this special identity card has great authority, with it, it is equivalent to having the strong backer of the Imperial Security Committee, and when needed, he can completely mobilize the huge human and material resources of the security department for his own use.

The specific rights, obligations and various corresponding restrictions are all in the optical brain chip attached to the identity card, so there is no need to repeat them one by one.

Zhao Ziyan said enviously: "This thing is extremely difficult to get, even we can't have it!" Your sister Zhou Meng once wanted to apply for one, but Zhou Jiyuan personally came forward to intercede with the archon, but she couldn't pass it! It's good that you were kidnapped once, and you got it so easily! ”

"Thank you!" He said to Wei Qinghao sincerely, and put away the card treasured.

This kind of identity card with amazing permission, even in his previous life, he only barely met the threshold of the application conditions, how much he has dedicated himself to the empire for decades, and the ace agents with outstanding achievements may not be able to have it, maybe he really has a credit to the empire, but this is just a cover to block the opposition of all parties, and the archon is willing to give himself this, in fact, he sent him a great favor.

"I don't know what Ling Zun needs me to do?" He asked Wei Qinghao, "As long as it's within your power, just say it!" ”
