Hu Li?

This was beyond Su Xia's expectations.

At that meeting, Su Xia had been focusing on the older generation, and did not pay too much attention to this seemingly excellent young man.

After all, no matter how good Hu Li is, there is still a long way to go, and he has not even entered the core layer of City No. 9 at present, and he is still working as the mayor's secretary in City No. 8 to exercise his ability.

The focus of Su Xia's observation fell on people with more power like Qiu Hao.

Hu Li...... What role did he play in this? ”

Su Xia frowned slightly and continued to observe.

In that private room, except for Hu Li, the other people were not from the mainland.

Through their exchanges, Su Xia learned that these people were all from Eagle City and Lion City.

Eagle City, on the eastern continent and separated from the middle continent by a sea, is said to be the most powerful of the seven human settlements.

The Lion City is on the mainland to the west, also across the sea.

The purpose of these people is simple.

As Su Xia thought, they wanted to subvert the current Dragon City and establish a new Dragon City, a completely obedient Dragon City.

"You old city lords of Dragon City can't see the situation clearly, and they always oppose us at the gathering place conference, which is not good, we don't like it very much." In the private room, a blonde man said in a deep voice.

"I know."

Hu Li sat across from the man, always with a confident smile on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

He smiled lightly and said, "According to the agreement, the new Lord of Dragon City must be the person I appointed, you won't forget it, right?" ”

"Of course I won't forget, Hu, we are people who value commitment." Another blonde woman spoke, she was from the Lion City.

"Oh?"

The corners of Hu Li's mouth lifted, and his smile became more obvious, and he said: "At the beginning, Xiongcheng exchanged weapons with you for food, and you exchanged moldy and rotten old grain, this is what you call a valued commitment?" ”

"Hu, that incident was dominated by conservatives and had nothing to do with us, and now the Lion City is dominated by our faction." The blonde woman replied.

"Oh, if you change factions, you can deny what you did before, and you people from the Western Continent are worthy of you." Hu Li picked up a glass of red wine, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and sarcasm in his words.

"Hu, I hope you can pay attention to your words." The blonde woman frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

"Of course, don't worry, I'm a gentleman."

Hu Li took a sip of red wine lightly, and his movements were elegant.

At this time, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Knock knock!"

The group looked at each other, and one of the blond men got up, walked to the door, glanced through the cat's eye, and then opened the door.

After opening the door, a middle-aged man walked in, glanced at the situation in the private room, and frowned after seeing Hu Li.

Su Xia was not surprised by this person's arrival, because he had been spying on this guy.

The number one leader of the research institute, Qin Shou!

During these ten days, Qin Shou had been very cautious.

He didn't act out of the ordinary, he didn't send any inappropriate messages to anyone, and it wasn't until today that he showed his feet.

"Director Qin came very quickly." Hu Li's smile was still the same, facing Qin Shou, and raising his wine glass.

"Hmm."

Qin Shou replied lightly, and then found a chair to sit down.

The rest of the people in the private room were not surprised by his arrival, and it was obvious that they had made contact.

And Qin Shou's arrival also answered a long-standing doubt for Su Xia - where did those arms go!

"Director Qin, those arms are all hidden, but don't be discovered by that old guy." The blonde woman asked.

"Well, it's hidden." Qin Shou replied nonchalantly.

"Director Qin doesn't seem to be very happy?" Hu Li suddenly opened his mouth and asked with a smile.

"If you eat the biggest risk, but the least return, would you be happy if it were you?" Qin Shou asked lightly.

"Director Qin's words are not right." Hu Li said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, the finances of the entire Dragon City will be pinched by you, this income is not small, I am a little moved, little brother." ”

"Put away your weird face and talk well!"

Qin Shou snorted coldly, and seemed to dislike working with Hu Li.

Hu Li, as his name suggests, is as cunning as a fox, and his deep scheming does not match his age at all.

The cooperation with the Lion City and the Eagle City was spearheaded by him.

Even, the specific matters of cooperation were drawn up by him personally.

This young man's calculations are very deep, and even the back road of failure has been left for them, and there is more than one left.

Among them, the best way back is to pretend to be innocent and unaware, and push everything on Qiu Hao, the second-in-command of the research institute.

Yes, Qiu Hao has nothing to do with this at all!

Although the problem was in the 031 Research Institute under his jurisdiction, he didn't know about it, it was just that there was something wrong with his subordinates, so he behaved like that at the meeting that day.

"Director Qin, Qiu Hao's side, no problem, right?" Hu Li asked with a smile.

"Well, everything is under control."

The hapless Qiu Hao didn't know that he had become a scapegoat for this incident.

Even if things succeed in the end, he will be slowly squeezed out and gradually reduced to the margins of Dragon City.

Even, he may die inexplicably one day, and then gradually be forgotten.

At this moment, he is still in his 031 Research Institute office, analyzing a research report submitted to him by his subordinates.

"Ahh

Qiu Hao suddenly sneezed.

His face sank, he rubbed his nose, and whispered to himself: "Damn, it must be Shi Sishi's old thing scolding me behind my back!" ”

……

In the private room, several people are still communicating.

The blonde woman asked Hu Li, "After the new Dragon City is established, who do you plan to make the city lord?" Yourself? Or that uncle of yours? Or someone else? ”

Hu Li smiled: "Of course it's my uncle, my uncle raised me so big, I have to repay him, right?" ”

The smile on his face was natural.

But for some reason, the rest of the people saw a few hints of gloom.

After the establishment of the new Dragon City, the old dean will most likely not have a good ending.

"Don't underestimate your uncle, his influence in Dragon City is not low." The blonde woman reminded, "Also, I heard that he met a very capable rebel commander outside, so keep an eye out for that person." ”

"Oh, the north wind?"

Hu Li's tone was casual, and he said with a chuckle: "It's just the leader of the organization in a small place, I know him, don't worry too much." ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy." The blonde woman said.

"Don't worry, my uncle privately gave that Beifeng an identity card, he thought no one knew." Hu Li said lightly, "But I have already obtained his permission, as long as that ID card is activated, I will be notified, and when the time comes...... I'll make that North Wind regret coming to Dragon City. ”

As he spoke, he took a gentle sip of his drink.

"People in small places should stay in small places, this kind of thing is not something he can meddle in."

"Hu, you seem to have an opinion about that north wind?" The blonde woman noticed that Hu Li's tone fluctuated a little bit compared to before, indicating that he was not at peace deep down, far from being as relaxed as he appeared.

At this time, Qin Shou on the side spoke.

He said lightly: "He always thought that he was the best person of the younger generation, until not long ago, that old guy came back from the oasis camp and kept saying the name of the north wind in front of him, which made him very uncomfortable. ”

"Director Qin, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Hu Li smiled indifferently, as if he didn't take it to heart.

Something seems to be wrong with the atmosphere.

Seeing him like this, the other people were very interested and didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, they talked about the specific time of the action.

At present, the power of various rumors has not yet reached its maximum, and the interior of Dragon City is still relatively stable.

Even if there is a sufficient batch of arms, it may not be able to completely overturn the current system, so they still need to be prepared.

After deliberation, they set a time of three months.

"The Lion City and the Eagle City will fully support the actions of the two, three months is not a short time, the two of them should pay attention to their own safety, but do not expose it in advance."

"You don't have to worry about that, we know."

The chat on both sides went well.

After the conversation, they agreed on the time and place of their next meeting.

After a while, Hu Li put on his human skin mask and took the lead to leave the private room, leaving the club through a hidden secret passage.

And Qin Code waited for half an hour before leaving, and chose another secret path.

The two of them thought they were doing it very secretly, but they didn't know that all this was under Su Xia's gaze.

"A dean's nephew hiding in the shadows, plus a superficial leader of the research institute, can indeed set off a bloody storm within Dragon City, not to mention the help of Lion City and Eagle City......"

The identities of both of them are very special, especially Hu Li.

Before, his identity may not have been a big deal.

But now that the old city lord has been attacked, and the old dean has become the acting city lord, Hu Li's identity has naturally risen.

The previous attack was most likely planned by Hu Li.

Su Xia left nanobots on them all, monitoring their every move in real time.

For more than ten days after that, the people from Lion City and Eagle City did not leave the clubhouse, but stayed in the clubhouse, did not step out of the clubhouse, and even rarely went out of the private room.

And Hu Li and Qin Shou are still doing their own work, commuting to and from work normally every day, communicating cordially with colleagues, and they can't see anything abnormal.

And Su Xia has been following the vine for more than ten days, and slowly mastered the vast majority of people related to this matter.

Roughly calculated, there are at least a thousand people.

The numbers are scary.

Among them, there are many people who are the backbone members of various research institutes, a few are academics, and only a very few are from the city lord's faction.

Once they riot at the same time, they will take the lead and most likely be able to seize control of Dragon City within half a day.

"It's time to finish."

Su Xia calculated the time, and it was time to close the net.

At this time, the task also sent him a hint.

【Mission: Dragon City Division】

[The second stage of the mission "Dawn" has been completed.]

[The third stage of the mission "Scarlet Dawn" starts]

[Description: After a long investigation, you have basically figured out the reason for the split in Dragon City, and found out the main messenger behind the scenes, it's time to act]

[Mission Requirements: Protect the safety of the Acting City Lord "Hu Yun" and ensure that he survives until the end of the mission]

The task requirements are not difficult.

Beside Hu Yun, there were several people arranged by Hu Li.

Su Xia just killed them in advance.

With the strength of Old Dean Hu Yun's fifth-level creatures, as long as he is not plotted by people close to him, it is basically no problem to survive to the end.

Su Xia looked out the window, it was dusk at the moment, and the sky was crimson, which was particularly beautiful.

He got up from his seat and slowly moved the muscles of his body, and the crackling sound came from the key of his ten fingers.

"Mr. Su, it's time for dinner." Wang Mengqi's little girl's voice came from the kitchen, very crisp.

"Okay."

Su Xia smiled and walked over to dine with the two.

After dinner, he said to the two: "Tonight, there may be some gunfire in the city, don't be afraid, it won't affect you, just close the doors and windows." ”

"Mr. Su, is there something big going on?" A trace of melancholy appeared on the woman's Liang Qian's face.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a few deaths."

Su Xia smiled gently, reassuring the two.

When the sun rises tomorrow, Dragon City will still be Dragon City, and they will still be them, and there will be no change.

Afterwards, Su Xia gave a few more words of advice and left some weapons.

Both mother and daughter would use weapons, as Dragon City had trained every resident over the age of ten, which saved Suxia a lot of trouble.

After doing that, he went out.

It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, and it's time for the curfew.

Su Xia turned on the stealth function, followed the main road of City Eight, walked to the tunnel to City Nine, and then entered City Nine through the tunnel.

City Nine is the largest city in the entire Dragon City, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic, just like a modern metropolis.

Compared with the other fifteen cities, City Nine has a lot more neon colors, and it is no different from the big cities outside.

In the center of the city, there is a large boxy building, which is the center of power in Dragon City.

Su Xia came to find the old dean.

But the old dean was not in the central building at this time, he was in the academy on the east side of the city.

The area of the academy was large, much larger than the apothecary school that Suxia was building, with more than twenty buildings, like a small independent town.

When Su Xia saw the old dean, he was in his college office, wearing a pair of presbyopia, frowning at a document about expired food by the light of the old desk lamp.

The door to the office was open so that the rest of the people could come in and report to him at any time.

Suddenly, there seemed to be an invisible wind blowing.

"Crunch ......"

The old wooden door moved slowly and closed it.

The old dean raised his head and lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a smile appeared on his old face.

Although on the surface, there were no other people in the office, he asked, "North Wind?" ”

"It's me."

Su Xia replied and slowly appeared.

After seeing him, the smile on the old dean's face became even stronger, and he asked again, "The person I saw that day was you, right?" ”

"That's right."

Su Xia pulled out a stool and sat across from the old dean's desk.

"You probably won't believe what I'm going to say next."
