In Lanhua City, Li Yue, the director of the National Police Department, who once covered the sky with one hand and was in power, sat quietly on the soft and comfortable sofa, and in his hand, he was still holding a goblet representing identity and taste.

The phone was still squeaking there, but Li Yue didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't have to answer it, and he knew that another den he had been concentrating on had been terminated.

A little-known gangster, not to mention becoming a major general, even had a relationship with the supreme commander of the Boxianluo Military Fortress, the five-star general Ma Ji, and General Gao Shan, the top decision-maker of the Military Council, even took a clear stand on Qi Muyang's side.

Even if there is no mayor pulling his hind legs behind his back, and no group of gangsters take the opportunity to fall into the well, and use the combination of local officials and local underworld forces to meet the two giants who are important in the military world, this is also destined to be a confrontation with too much strength and doomed to defeat and defeat!

The biggest characteristic of political struggle is that it is ruthless. Even if you lose and defeat on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, as long as you raise your hand and surrender, you still have a chance to live, but your political enemies will never give you a chance to make a comeback.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a polite knock outside the room, and Li Yue's face remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "The door is not locked, come in by yourself." ”

The door was pushed open, and without security guards or secretaries, the mayor quietly walked into Li Yue's room alone.

"I knew you were coming." Li Yue pointed to the other sofa opposite the coffee table and said indifferently: "Sit, please sit, please sit." ”

Seeing that Li Yue had put the pistol on the coffee table and had opened the safe, the mayor frowned slightly, but he still sat opposite Li Yue and said with a smile: "Now should you say to me again, wine, wine, good wine?" ”

"Wine is good wine, if you want to drink it, pour it yourself."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, watching the mayor really pick up the wine glass, take a sip, and then show a tasteful expression on his face, Li Yue said indifferently: "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine, or simply kill you with one shot?" Anyway, I'm already losing nowhere, and I can pull my political enemies to finish it together, and it can be regarded as a big defeat, and I can get back a little bit. ”

"If it's your son who is sitting here and has no way to start a business, I will never run to find a dead end."

The mayor gently shook the goblet in his hand, looking at the amber juice in the wine glass under the illumination of the light, constantly flowing, reflecting the crystalline color, reminiscing about the taste of alcohol on the tip of his tongue, he smiled: "But you are Li Yue!" If in the face of defeat, you bite around like a deflated person, then you are not qualified to be my opponent at all, let alone be in a lower position, but you can fight with me in power for four or five years, and you still have no victory. I really thought that I, the mayor, would leave the city as a loser after six years. ”

Speaking of this, the mayor made a conclusion about his words: "I have always believed that a man's ultimate achievement depends on his taste and heart. We are in the political arena, for the sake of interests, for the sake of factions, we must fight each other, but this absolutely does not mean that deep down, we cannot keep our own piece of the world. In the face of an irreversible defeat, you Li Yue can calmly show the demeanor of a general, I, Asmail, have been your opponent for a few years, why can't I drink with you on the last part of your life and send you on a ride? ”

The expression on Li Yue's face did not change, he raised his wine glass and said, "It's done." ”

"Okay, I'm a guest."

In a crisp sound of "ding", the two goblets gently touched each other, and then these two rivals, who were fighting inextricably in the political arena, drank the liquid in the wine glasses together.

As the boss and the winner of this struggle, Mayor Asmail took the initiative to grab the bottle and refill the wine glass in front of the two people. And Li Yue sat there quietly and enjoyed the services of the mayor.

In both of them, you can't tell who is the winner and who is the loser. In fact, who can climb all the way to their position, who is not a talent, who does not have their own literary and military strategies, and who can't win without being arrogant or discouraged?

Probably only underage children, written YY novels, or TV dramas for political and educational significance, will portray the victors into high-spiritedness, while the losers will always cry bitterly, repent, and write a book that has been a fairy tale since ancient times.

In fact, in the face of legal trial, even if they were escorted to the execution ground to accept the fate of shooting, they still held their heads high, they could still laugh out loud, laugh at everything with a presumptuous attitude, and grit their teeth all the way to the black.

After the two of them finished a glass of wine, they sat quietly on the sofa, looking at each other quietly across a small coffee table.

But after looking at each other like this, Mayor Asmail sighed softly, breaking the silence. "If we join forces and bring each other's strengths together, it's likely to be a dream combination. Pity...... Most of our energy and ability are spent on internal friction. Li Yue, can you tell me that when I first arrived, I had already extended an olive branch to you, why did you have to stand in the opposite position of me? I don't think you're going to be able to climb to the mayor's place and take my place, right? ”

Li Yue was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Your foundation comes from the top, and my foundation comes from the bottom of society. With different starting points, different philosophies, and conflicts of interest, we are doomed to not be able to come together. ”

Mayor Asmai nodded, "If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king." There are really not many officials who can do this again. ”

"My road has come here, it is over, and Lanhua City will be your stage in the future."

Li Yue said indifferently: "I'm down, those people in the rivers and lakes below, in order to fight for power and profit, will inevitably stage a melee of heroes, in a short period of time, the rate of all kinds of violent crimes will increase greatly, if I were you, I would not suppress them too fiercely at this time." ”

Mayor Asmai was listening, he was listening. He knew that every word and word Li Yue said at this time was the most precious gift to him.

"In a bee colony, if the queen bee dies, the worker bees will stay in the hive until the new queen crawls out of there. The first thing the new queen bee does after taking the throne is to lead the worker bees to kill all the other queen bees who have not yet crawled out of the hive. If two queens crawl out of the hive at the same time, between them, a most brutal duel of life and death will inevitably break out, with the winner king and the loser dead. ”

Li Yue stared at Mayor Asmai's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The rivers and lakes of this city are a beehive that has been infinitely magnified. When the new queen bee is chosen, everyone gathers around him, and the struggle naturally disappears. If you think that those people's actions are challenging their personal authority and forcibly suppressing them, the result will only be counterproductive and allow the disputes in the rivers and lakes to continue indefinitely. So, all you have to do is wait. Until the new queen bee breaks out of the cocoon, and then uses the new director of the National Police Agency at your hand as a tool, Enwei and the other party are ambushed, and use various means to control the crime rate in this city within the range of their expectations. ”

Hearing this, Asmai's body shook slightly, he stared at Li Yue, and said, "You ......"

"That's right, I'm a tool too."

Speaking of this, Li Yue's gaze was a little confused: "Twenty-four years ago, I was just a little person with empty ambitions but no one to reuse him, and I was hired by the mayor of Lanhua City at that time and promoted to the position of director of the Police Department. I am grateful that I am willing to die and become a tool in his hands, responsible for managing the underworld order. At the end of his term of office, he left the city in high spirits because of his outstanding achievements in benefiting the people, and I, a native, naturally stayed here, continued to do my job, and continued to manage the underground forces in the city as the head of the police department. ”

Li Yue said: "I have always believed in my own ability, I think that I am in an important position and can easily control the underground forces in this city. But when I finally found out that the situation was out of control, my family, my life, and everything I had were inextricably integrated with the gangs in this city, and they became a whole that was both prosperous and lost. In front of this huge wheel, which was already beyond the limits of my control, I could only keep turning with it, allowing myself to become more and more powerful, and at the same time sinking deeper and deeper. ”

"So ......"

Li Yue said in a low voice: "When your term of office expires and you want to leave this city, if you really care about the director of the police department who was picked up by yourself, take him away with you." ”

After Li Yue's words were finished, he closed his mouth, Asmai did not speak again, and between the two of them, he suddenly fell into a long silence.

"Ding!"

The wine glasses in the hands of the two men touched lightly again and again.

"Ding!"

The wine glasses in the hands of the two people touched lightly again.

"Ding!"

The wine glasses in the hands of the two people touched lightly for the fourth time.

"Ding!"

The wine glasses in the hands of the two men touched together for the fifth time.

When Mayor Asmail grabbed the bottle again, he realized that the two of them had drunk the expensive red wine.

"There is no banquet in the world, the words are exhausted, the wine is dry, I am very grateful that you came alone and sent me on the last journey, now I am tired, please leave."

Li Yue closed his eyes and said indifferently: "When you leave, don't forget to close the door for me." ”

"When the two of us were evenly matched, I was hoping that you would be defeated by me every day, and I would never turn over, and I kept working hard for it. But today, when I was holding the victory, I suddenly had a feeling of reluctance. ”

Asmai looked at Li Yue's face and said sincerely: "In order to defeat you, I will work hard to develop the economy of this city, and strive to make myself better, so that I can get more appreciation and recognition from above." In order to defeat you, I work hard to discover talents, and hire them exceptionally, put them in the most suitable positions, and give full play to their own light and heat. In order to overcome you, no matter how tired I am, I have to let myself study for at least fifteen minutes every day, because I know that if I don't study, I don't improve, and sooner or later I will be trampled under your feet. When I stand alone on the public stage of this city, without you as an enemy, I am really afraid that I will slack off, I will be lazy, and I will become a mayor who does nothing and only knows how to consume precious time. ”

Li Yue smiled, he didn't open his eyes, but groped and grabbed the pistol on the coffee table, and with skillful movements, he withdrew a bullet from the magazine.

Gently pushed the bullet to Asmai's side, Li Yue said indifferently: "Put away this bullet, if you don't want to end your life with this bullet, work hard, improve yourself desperately, and desperately enrich your brain." Remember, I, Li Yue, am in the eighteenth layer of hell, looking at you with wide eyes. ”

Staring at that tiny bullet, Asmail was really stupid.

Li Yue: What is this?

Is it encouragement? Is it a spur? Or do you hope that in this world, there is still someone who will think of him every day, remember him, and let him walk in this world in vain?!

Li Yue waved his hand again and again, and said, "Go, go, the victory is yours, the future is yours, the stage is yours, and the hope is yours." On a stage with no resistance and no opponents, try your best to show your talent, so that more people can be happy because of you and treat you as an idol. ”

Asmail stood up, he didn't speak again, but bent his waist deeply at the man in front of him who had been fighting to the death in politics for four or five years.

As Asmail walked out of the room and closed the door, a crisp gunshot rang out from the room.

Li Yue left, and also drew the final end to this political struggle.

Mayor Asmail took a deep breath, he looked through the window of the corridor, looking at the white lines that had been faintly revealed in the dark sky in the distance, and then looked at the bullet in his hand, he said in a low voice: "Li Yue, without you, I will indeed be alone, but I will try my best to perform the most beautiful dance on the stage vacated by you." I will work hard to make this city more prosperous. This is my Asmail, the last gift I offer to you, a venerable enemy. ”
