In the drawer of his desk, Li Rui found a copper bookmark. Strangely, the tail of the bookmark was unusually polished, and it seemed to be rubbing against something all the time.

"What is he doing when he's fine, always grinding bookmarks?" Li Rui wondered.

With this doubt, Li Rui continued to rummage. Ma Xinglong is very self-disciplined, his drawers are all clean, except for some documents, there are almost no other valuable clues.

At this moment, an ashtray on the table caught Li Rui's attention.

There are still a few ashes left at the bottom of the ashtray.

"Does Ma Xinglong smoke?" Li Rui asked himself and replied, "He shouldn't smoke."

"Why should a non-smoker put an ashtray? These ashes ......" Li Rui reached out and touched the ashtray and found that the ashes were not left by cigarettes, but like traces of burning paper.

"What is he burning?"

Li Rui thought about it while looking around the entire study, dark, silent, and depressing...... I can't help but think about it.

Then, his mind was touched by something, and he sensed that something was wrong.

"Tsk, strange ......" Li Rui tilted his head, unfolded his thoughts along that fluctuating point, and muttered, "Living in today's era, there are still people who don't even have any electronic devices in their study."

In addition to paper, pens and books, there are only furniture left, and even few decorations are left. No computers, no internet cables, and no IFI.

"He doesn't read books or surf the Internet, so what is he doing in his study? Do you want to burn paper?"

"Burn paper!"

Li Rui was once again moved by the ashes left in the ashtray!

"He's burning letters!"

It must have been a secret letter, and it was an extremely secret letter, that caused him to burn it immediately after reading it!

And he does not use all electronic devices, probably because he is worried about the risk of information leakage. After all, as long as it is an electronic product, there is a hidden danger of leakage.

"Is there any connection between flipping books and burning letters?"

Immediately afterward, an even greater doubt came to his mind.

There must be a correlation between flipping books and burning letters, and this secret should be hidden in this bookmark.

"Friction, friction ......" Li Rui fell into a reverie.

"Since the letter needs to be burned immediately after reading, it means that the content of the letter is extremely important, and the content of such an important letter must be encrypted," Li Rui hypotheticed: "Since the content of the letter is encrypted, then decryption must require a codebook, codebook......

Thinking about it, Li Rui focused his attention on the book.

"Looks like this should be a codebook."

"And the key to unlocking the encryption is this bookmark." Li Rui took the bookmark and tried to rub it on a blank piece of paper, but there was no trace.

"Copper bookmark, rubbing...... Copper keys can leave pencil-like marks on the wall, but that's the fine copper dust that rubs against the wall."

This is because the diameter of the metal powder particles is smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so it cannot reflect visible light and appears black.

"It's a physical problem, not a chemical problem, unless ......."

"Unless there is some kind of chemical added to the paper, a copper bookmark can reveal the encrypted content by rubbing the paper."

With this idea, Li Rui had an even more headache.

Because the letter has been burned, there is no way to know the encrypted content on it, so what is the use of just having a codebook? Unless there will be a letter coming, but this is not possible.

Li Rui seems to have walked into a dead end.

When he had nothing to do, he suddenly saw the traces on the piece of paper that he had just marked with a bookmark.

"Traces! yes, I didn't think of that."

"When he decrypts the decryption with the codebook, he needs to write down the decrypted contents, and maybe there will be traces left."

Thinking of this, Li Rui immediately took out the scratch paper and looked at the light carefully.

"Huh?"

Sure enough, on the first piece of scratch paper, Li Rui found a clue - there were a few very shallow handwriting, which were left on it through the previous piece of manuscript paper.

"What kind of cloud, no, it seems to be a moving word, is it lava action?" Li Rui became excited, and in order not to let go of any clues, he specially found a magnifying glass to take a closer look.

Unfortunately, the handwriting after Operation Lava has been completely blurred and is not legible in any way. It took him a lot of effort to find a few legible words at the end.

Three of the words are "Can's Action".

"Operation Can? What the hell is this name, hey, could it be four words, Volcano Action?" Li Rui said to himself, "Lava vs. volcano, well, it's very likely!"

"Could it be that Ma Xinglong planned a more covert volcanic operation on top of the lava operation? But Ma Xinglong didn't do any more conspiracies and tricks until he died? What could this volcanic action be?"

However, the next few words made Li Rui completely confused - the last three recognizable handwriting were the names of people he would never have dreamed of, and when it came to them, they still had a deep relationship with himself.

That is. Xiao smiled.

"Xiao Yixiao?!" Li Rui compared it repeatedly, and even thought that it was dazzling for a while, but no matter how you look at it, those three words are "Xiao Yixiao".

"How could it be Xiao Yixiao? Is it a duplicate name? Isn't Dad already ......?"

Four years ago, Xiao Yixiao died of illness.

Three years ago, the Xiao family caught fire, and dozens of people from the Xiao family were killed, and the real culprit behind the scenes was Jin Xinxin.

At this time, Xiao Yixiao's name appeared in Ma Xinglong's letter. This made Li Rui really puzzled.

"Hey, Senior Sister, where are you?"

Li Rui dialed Liu Xiao's phone, and now at this time, he can only ask Liu Xiao for help.

There is no doubt that the White Cloud Guards came to blow up this place, and it must be to destroy the clues that may have been saved by Liu in the study.

However, when Li Rui grasped these clues, he became even more confused.

Dusk came, and the sky was sprinkled with gold dust, as if a handful of them could be fished out. The sun hid behind the mountain, revealing only half of its body. On the other side of the sky, the moon was already hanging there.

Back in Turtle Village, Li Rui and Liu Xiao both frowned and tightened.

They paced around the village, their minds seemed to be stirred up by the crescent.

"Senior sister, could this be a coincidence?" Li Rui asked.

Liu Xiao shook his head and said, "There are no coincidences in this world, have you ever thought that the volcano operation may have been involved three years ago?"

Li Rui nodded and said, "I've thought about it, but I can't figure it out, why is it the Bai family?"

"There must be an article in this that we need to uncover the truth."

"Senior sister, but I'm worried about ...... now," Li Rui stopped talking.

"Are you worried about Xiao Xiao?" Liu Xiao said.

"Well," Li Rui nodded, "Xiao Xiao is the only person in the Xiao family who is alive now, if the volcano action implicates the Xiao family, I am worried that Xiao Xiao will definitely be affected."

"Ever since we sent Natasha to Xiao's house in Shanghai, she has lived a new life, and if you go to her at this time, won't you reopen the wound that she has healed so hard."

Li Rui sighed and said, "Yes, to be honest, I don't want to bother her, if she can live again, this is the best choice for her."

"Also, Jin Xinxin's old fox may be staring at her." Liu Xiao said, "Do you remember what the minister told you back then? He wants to build you into a real hole card to defeat the enemy, exchange time for space, and find the true motives of the people behind Wang Binghao. That's why you are incognito and fade out of people's sight."

"Well, of course I do, but what does that have to do with the current situation?"

"Good morning, Minister

I have a plan, and I want you to be reunited in the future."

"Broken Mirror Reunited?" Li Rui was puzzled, "What kind of circle method?"

Liu Xiao explained: "The Xiao family in Shanghai and the Xiao family in Jiangmen are originally of the same origin, and Xiao Yixiao's father once passed one of his sons to the Xiao family in Shanghai, which is now the head of the Xiao family in Shanghai, Xiao Dakang."

"In this way, Xiao Dakang is still Xiao Xiao's uncle."

"Well," Ryu continued, "the minister portrayed himself as a cold-blooded figure who would take advantage of you and then cut you down in order to protect you. But there is a precondition for this."

"You mean the Agni......

"Well, Natasha defected from the "Magic Eye", and it was the "Agni" who took the blame for us, once the Agni came out to clarify, the minister's play of getting rid of Jin Xinxin with Natasha's hand would not be able to continue, but now it seems that the person who got her out of the Magic Eye has no ill will towards us, otherwise Xiao Xiao would not have lived safely in the Xiao family."

"So, do you suspect that Agni has something to do with the Bai family?"

"I'm just guessing," Liu Xiao'e frowned, and said, "Make bold assumptions, and be careful to verify, this is what the minister asked me to tell you just now."

"Make bold assumptions, be careful to verify?"

"Yes, the minister knows that you will definitely investigate the truth of the matter, instead of dissuading you, it is better to let you investigate, anyway, the current situation is already on the verge of being attacked."

Li Rui nodded and said: "The master always thinks longer than me, since Yuan Jian and Qin Henan arrived in Haizhou, I knew that the Celestial Empire was about to usher in a big change, and now although we temporarily limit Bai Heng to a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, this balance of terror will definitely be broken, at that time, all the heroes and powers will inevitably raise their flags, like He Zhi and others, how can they be indifferent, I think, the master hopes that I will prepare early and deal with it in advance."

"But you also have to be mentally prepared for the rain to come, and the darkness before dawn is always long and lonely."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Although the Celestial Empire is full of heroes, but each place has the particularity of each place, Shanghai is the most prosperous place in the Celestial Empire, and the mighty and powerful are ten times stronger than the imperial capital, when you get to Shanghai, you will definitely encounter no fewer things than now." Liu Xiao explained: "And your identity as Li Rui, chairman of the Aoshi Group, can no longer be used, otherwise, it will be too ostentatious, and it is best that you can die again."

"Well, that's reasonable, if I can, I want to be able to completely change my identity."

Liu Xiao smiled and said, "This is not easy, I can change it for you."

Li Rui was surprised: "Easy to disguise? How long can you stay in it after the disguise?"

"A year or two won't be a problem."

"So long? Great, I was thinking about getting a facelift."

"But have you thought about it, what will you do here after you leave?"

Liu Xiao's question was to the point.

For more than three years, Li Rui has long had a deep affection for the people and things here.

"This is also the most reassuring thing for me, after I leave, the Aoshi Group can only rely on themselves, and the strategic community that has been formed with great difficulty is also ......."

"So, I advise you to explain all these things before you leave." Liu Xiao said: "This land of the three cities of Haizhou, but the capital in our hands has been lost like this, it's a pity."

"I see what you mean, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

That night, Li Rui stayed awake all night. He called Li Nanyan, Chen Yao, Chen Yun and others one by one and told them his decision to leave. Although this decision was very sudden, and everyone was difficult to accept for a while, they also knew that Li Rui must have his purpose in doing this, even if he was reluctant, he could only let go.

Li Rui also promised that he would definitely come back to meet them in the future.

Subsequently, Li Rui asked people to issue an obituary to the whole society in the name of Aoshi Group, saying that Li Rui, chairman of Aoshi Group, died unexpectedly not long ago. At the same time, he asked Ma Wu to create himself in the ruins of the Heart Flower Society and died in a fierce battle with the White Cloud Guards

Illusion.

For a time, the whole Haizhou was boiling.

Some believe, some don't.

But no matter what, Li Rui's step can be regarded as a step.
