After seven days of negotiations, the Federation and the Blackstone Star District finally reached a preliminary agreement and signed the "Blackstone Twenty-Four Agreement".

When Prime Minister Cameron solemnly handed over this agreement to Suyahuntu, the flash kept this scene forever and engraved it into history.

On this day, after Shi Chen finished his class in Yuechi, he took a nostalgic look at the academy he once dreamed of, and left here.

When he got home, he did not prepare dinner as usual, because it was the Commonwealth Victory Celebration Banquet on the Front, which would be held at 7 p.m. at the Europa Beer Hall in the west of the city, and the dignitaries of the upper echelons of the Confederacy, officers of all ranks, and even officers of all ranks who had participated in the front-line war, would be eligible to attend.

But before that, he has one more important business to do.

In the evening, a military Humvee stopped in the Yinxiang villa area, which attracted a lot of side eyes. Although it is a wealthy area, and all kinds of luxury cars are more obvious, because military equipment is difficult to approve and flow, this military Humvee is relatively rare even in the city of Renza.

The door of the villa was locked by Shi Chen, and Shi Chen took Qianlin's little hand and took Xiao Chu into the Humvee together.

Simply said hello to Shi Qi in the front driver's seat, and chatted a few words, Shi Qi's temperament was relatively cold, and as the car started, he fell silent.

Looking at the house that gradually disappeared from the horizon, Qianlin suddenly felt a little sour for some reason, and stared at Shi Chen with those big eyes like stars, "Dad, where are we going?" ”

Shi Chen smiled and touched her head, "Dad has something to do, so I can only place you in Dad's house for a few days." ”

Qianlin lowered her head, and her voice weakened, "Is Dad going to war again?" ”

Shi Chen's hand stiffened, a child's intuition is always sensitive, he was silent for a moment, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”

Qianlin bit her lip. Tightly grasping the corner of Shi Chen's clothes, the crystal tears kept rolling in his eyes, but he didn't let it fall.

Shi Qi in the driver's seat glanced at the strange 'father and daughter' in the rearview mirror, opened his mouth, and still didn't make a sound after all.

The Hummer drove into the Stone Forest Villa in Xicheng District, and the pine and cypress trees on both sides towered into the air, making a rustling sound in the night wind, with a trace of loneliness for no reason.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Shi Qi knew that Shi Chen had something important to discuss with his old man, so he didn't follow up. took out a bottle of brandy from under the seat of the car, looked at the back of Shi Chen's 'family of three', and drank it silently.

Under the arrangement of the old housekeeper, Xiao Chu stayed in the hall with Qianlin in his arms and waited, while Shi Chen followed the old housekeeper into Shi Banghe's study.

More than ten minutes later, in Shi Banghe's suppressed silence, Shi Chen walked out again, but with an extra key in his arms.

Shi Chen looked at Qianlin, who was in tears but couldn't help crying, and felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. He kissed her on the forehead, kissed her eyes, and whispered, "Daddy loves you." ”

After a pause, "Mom too." ”

As he spoke, he stood up. gave Xiao Chu a hug, without words, but everything was silent.

It wasn't until he walked far away that Qianlin's crying voice came from behind him: "Dad!! ”

Shi Chen's footsteps paused. But he sped up his pace, sat back in the Humvee, and looked at the brandy in Shi Qi's hand. I grabbed it and poured a big mouthful, choking on tears.

"You're ruthless." Shi Qi glanced at him and sighed, "Why bother. ”

Shi Chen calmed down the tumbling and pungency in his stomach, lay his head back on the backrest, and said after a moment of silence: "Sometimes, people have to make a choice, and this is my choice. ”

"Sometimes the choice is not necessarily the right one, do you really think you can do anything?" A hint of sarcasm flashed on Shi Qi's beautiful face.

The cousin in front of her, who only had a few sporadic encounters, although she didn't know much about him, but just the things she knew about the Tao still shocked and uncomfortable her.

Although she didn't know what happened to Shi Chen this time and what he planned to do, Shi Banghe didn't tell her the details, but she was a little bit out of breath. I am afraid that there will be big changes in the Federation in the near future, and it is difficult for the Shi family to stay out, if nothing can be done, they will temporarily give up the control of the capital star circle industry and leave the capital star circle with their family.

Because of this, she knew that what Shi Chen was going to do was probably not so simple, and she originally thought that she could use the agitation to get some words, but when she saw Shi Chen's silence and the heaviness between her eyebrows, her expression also became solemn, and asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”

"Some." Shi Chen lowered his head and replied.

Hear this unexpected but unexpected answer. Shi Qi's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at him seriously for a long time before saying, "What are you going to do?" ”

Shi Chen was also silent for a long time, and said, "For the past grievances, and for a deal." ”

Hearing the word grievance, Shi Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost his voice: "You want to assassinate Su Yehongtu?" You are crazy?! ”

Shi Chen's eyebrows were raised, like two flying knives about to be unsheathed, she looked at Shi Qi a little strangely, confirming that this third lady of the Shi family showed no signs of madness, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Do I look like a madman?" ”

"It's kind of like that now." Shi Qi looked at the other party's expression, and felt more and more that his judgment was a little close to the truth.

Shi Qi's gaze at a neuropathic person Shi Chen was a little depressed, and he frowned and said, "I'm not crazy to that extent, besides, even if I want to kill that old immortal, do you think I killed it?" ”

Shi Qi relaxed slightly when he heard this, lowered his eyes and said: "Indeed, since the death of the former emperor of the empire, Suyesis, under the entire starry sky, there has been no existence that can match him head-on, if you are really confused, it is indeed self-defeating." ”

After a pause, he said: "Moreover, even if he wants to die, he can't die in the capital star circle, otherwise the Federation will probably face a full-scale counterattack from Blackstone." ”

Shi Chen's eyes widened, and he looked at Shi Qi with some astonishment, as if he had reacquainted himself with the girl in front of him, in his impression, Shi Qi has always belonged to the kind of gentleman who causes trouble, otherwise he would not be named Shi Qi's crazy three 'reputation' by the children in the circle.

How could this kind of woman not be surprised and stunned when she was suddenly able to analyze the exact political situation of the Federation.

Seeing Shi Chen's expression, Shi Qi, who had been suppressed by his various excellences and deeds, felt a little satisfied in his heart, and couldn't help but be more interested, "In this case, wouldn't Su Ye Hongtu be invincible, no wonder he dared to make such an excessive request, if this is for these agreements, why did his father say that there would be great changes in the Federation in the near future, could it be that Su Ye Hongtu still dared to mess around in the capital star circle?" ”

Shi Chen lowered his head for a moment and sighed: "If the Black Stone Star Region is a hard stone, then the Federation is like a persimmon that is about to rot, everyone knows what the result of this persimmon falling on the stone will be, and what I have to do is to grind off some of the water chestnuts of this stone before landing, so that the persimmon is not so ugly." ”

Shi Qi looked at Shi Chen, who was bowing his head and contemplating, his eyes became a little unfamiliar, and he said in disbelief: "The people in the Black Stone Star Region really dare to do it? Are they crazy? ”

Hearing this, Shi Chen took a deep breath and said, "As I said, the Federation is not monolithic. And, because of the accelerated consolidation within the empire, they are all short of time. Therefore, they can only use the most direct, brutal but fastest way to reintegrate the Federation, otherwise under the continuous internal friction of guarding against each other, they will only lose in the face of the comeback empire. ”

Listening to Shi Chen's analysis and analysis of the situation, Shi Qi incorporated some of the information he got into it, and suddenly a rough but brutal conspiracy appeared in her mind, all of which shocked and even frightened her, she thought that this time was just another simple exchange of interests, but she didn't expect to get such a cold and cruel answer, she couldn't help but feel cold, and muttered: "Crazy, all crazy, they actually want to do it to Elizabeth"

It wasn't until this moment that she finally understood why her father had been secretly transferring the Shi family's assets recently, as if the entire prosperous capital star circle had turned into a whirlpool that was about to devour everything.

"Human society has lived like this for countless years, and when dealing with its own compatriots, it has always been able to show more cold-blooded and courage." Shi Chen looked at her expression and explained: "So, don't worry, no matter what the result is, they can't do without the Shi family, they can't do without United Airlines, you just need to wait quietly and wait for the incident to calm down, although you can't share any benefits, and maybe even break your bones, but it's better than losing everything." ”

Shi Qi was silent for a moment and said, "I understand." ”

Shi Qi is outside, only known for his ruthlessness and arrogance in disguise, and being able to make such an accurate analysis today naturally has the innate effect of excellent genes, but more is due to the more comprehensive information obtained from being in the upper echelons of the Federation.

So in the eyes of the common people, the reason why those in positions of power are more likely to succeed is simply because they have more information and can make the most informed decisions about things.

However, he didn't know whether his choice was wise, and even in the eyes of many people, his choice was a dead end, but this was the path he chose, so even if there was darkness ahead, he had to go on alone until he died.

The Hummer stopped in front of the Europa beer hall in Xicheng District, like raindrops into the sea, without a trace, because at this moment, in front of Europa, all kinds of military vehicles have already been parked, and a dinner party about victory is about to begin.

"I want to ask you to take Xia Li with you, I don't feel at ease about leaving her alone in the Capital Star Circle." Shi Chen raised his head and looked at Shi Qidao.

"If she's willing." She looked at Shi Chen with complicated eyes, smiled, and said, "I am willing to serve." ”

"Thank you."

"Take care."
