The black sedan sped along the curving dirt road towards the farm, surrounded by endless wilderness, planted with low crops or simply planted with flowers.

Li Lu said that there is an Austrian feeling here, and this is the reason why there are many flowers and plants all over the sky, and they are so beautiful that they are intoxicating.

It's just that the willows and Zheng Kaiyun in the car both enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the closer they get to the farm, the faster their heartbeats will be. This is extremely rare for these two people who are in charge of key departments. How long has it been since I've felt this kind of trepidation?

They were silent all the way, occasionally looking at each other a few times, and each saw the apprehension and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

The car stopped at the entrance to the farm, saying that it was an entrance, but it was actually a special road, which was similar to a checkpoint, because the farm was not fenced, and it could be accessed from any direction on foot.

The security guard at the entrance used the walkie-talkie to report the license plate and register the personnel before letting the car in. Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun are both veterans who have been in the army for many years, and they can see the murderous aura hidden in those security guards, they must be retired special forces of the special forces, and they both have certain actual combat experience.

When there is still some distance from the farm, the black car is signaled to stop, the vehicle and the driver are left behind, and the guests take the battery car to the farmstead.

The seemingly simple security measures eliminate the possibility that the car carrying explosives could endanger the farm.

All the way to the front of the farm, a staff member led Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun into the hall and waited. At this time, Pei Xiaoshan appeared, didn't say anything, and led them through the courtyard in the middle to the independent building at the back.

Coming to the front of the study, Pei Xiaoshan knocked on the door, then pushed the door in, Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun glanced at each other, stood in the corridor honestly and waited, their heartbeats were getting faster and faster, and they secretly took a few deep breaths.

"Chief, the man has arrived. Pei Xiaoshan said in a deep voice.

Li Lu nodded, put down the teacup, "Let them in." ”

"Yes. ”

Pei Xiaoshan turned around and went out, leading the two of them in a moment.

Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun instantly had thoughts of regret, but when they came to this point, there was no way not to face the old chief and benefactor of the year.

Li Lu sat on the sofa in the center, and Niu Er sat on the single sofa on the side, crossed his legs, and his gaze swept over a little cold and ruthlessly.

Pei Xiaoshan closed the door and stepped aside to sit down.

Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun looked at Li Lu, but they were both in a slight trance. Twenty years have passed, and where and what scene was the last time they met, Yang Liu can't remember clearly. But Zheng Kaiyun clearly remembered that twenty years ago, Li Lu was shot by Yu Ming's family in front of him and fell to the ground with a bang. At that moment, Zheng Kaiyun had the feeling of watching the collapse of the former Soviet Union.

Now, the giant, who had disappeared for twenty years, was alive and well in front of him, and nothing had changed except for the traces left by the years. is still that look that makes people unable to resist from the heart, giving people pressure like Mount Tai pressing the top.

Li Lu is a human being after all, and he obviously can't be calm when facing Yang Liu. There are three confidential secretaries in his life, Su Changcheng, Yang Liu, and Pei Xiaoshan. As a second-generation confidential secretary, Yang Liu's period with Li Lu was the most glorious period of Li Lu's career, and he was also considered the most promising confidential secretary.

Fate is to make people, it is precisely this confidential secretary who people think is the most loyal, after the news of Li Lu's death came out, he decisively broke away from the camp and changed his banner.

"Old chief. Yang Liu tried his best to control his legs, which were a little weak and wanted to kneel, and his voice trembled a little.

Zheng Kaiyun tried to steady his breath and bowed his head to say hello, "Minister Li." ”

Li Lu watched them for a long time without speaking, and his eyes were more focused on Yang Liu's body. As Zheng Kaiyun said, he himself is not a member of Li Lu's family, but a person from the opposing camp who secretly sent into the saber regiment. Each for his own master, but not a betrayal. But Yang Liu is different, he is a celebrity around Li Lu, and his opposition is regarded as the most hateful betrayal.

From Niu Er's expression staring at Yang Liu coldly, it can be seen that the members of Li Lu's family hate this traitor even more.

Li Lu didn't speak, he didn't speak, and Niu Er and Pei Xiaoshan didn't know what to say. Li Lu picked up the cigarette and lit it and smoked, the smoking movement was very slow, his eyes looked at Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun through the smoke, and he still didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the study was so immersive, only the smoke slowly swirled.

Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun stood still, maintaining a slightly bowed posture and did not dare to move.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Lu pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Pei Xiaoshan poured him a new cup of tea, Li Lu picked up the teacup and took a sip slightly, and then slowly spit out a sentence: "It's all old." ”

yes, they're all old.

Twenty years ago, he was a young man, and twenty years later, he has become an old man in the eyes of many people. If Li Lu has learned anything in the past 20 years abroad, then people can change a thing, but they can't control the years.

There was silence for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing, and sweat broke out slightly on the foreheads of Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun. They didn't know what Li Lu was thinking, and they didn't know if Li Lu would wave his hand and smile as they imagined.

Li Lu's incomprehension made them begin to doubt whether it was right to make such a choice, if they held the front, it would be a big deal, and there was still a glimmer of hope, but now that Li Lu raised his noble hand, their professional life was over. Perhaps, with jail time.

The study was terrifyingly quiet, and both Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun could clearly hear the sound of their heartbeats, and they were very fast.

They no longer have a sense of time, and the sweat on their foreheads gradually trickles down. In front of Li Lu, they didn't care what they were steady and reserved, they would be what they should be, and they couldn't hide it.

I don't know how long it took, Li Lu picked up the cigarette, and before lighting it, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Let's go." ”

There was no other word.

Yang Liu and Zheng Kaiyun reacted for a long time to confirm that they had heard correctly, and looked at each other, but they both saw the incomprehension and surprise in each other's eyes.

Not allowing them to react, Pei Xiaoshan had already stood up and made a gesture of chasing customers, "Two, please." ”

Yang Liu glanced at Li Lu, Li Lu's gaze didn't know when it became indifferent, as if looking at a stranger, there was no resentment or anything else, it was very ordinary and ordinary.

Yang Liu knew that at this moment, everything in the past had been completely erased, and he had nothing to do with Li Lu and anything related to Li Lu. He never knew that the most uncomfortable thing was that he was regarded as a stranger by Li Lu - maybe he had subconsciously regarded Li Lu as a competitive target for a long time in the past?

He couldn't think about it, Pei Xiaoshan had already asked them to leave the study.

The moment he turned around and stepped out of the study, Yang Liu closed his eyes slightly, and it was over.

And Zheng Kaiyun doesn't feel much like this, he will only feel happy after breathing a sigh of relief, and silently think, let's live a plain life in the future, and let others serve these things for the country. Never felt tired.

Pei Xiaoshan sent the people outside the villa, and saw them get into the battery car and go to the parking place of the vehicle, then got into the black car and drove out of the farm, and then he turned back.

"Platoon commander, just let them go?"

In the study, after Pei Xiaoshan came back, Niu Er asked.

Li Lu smiled and asked rhetorically, "Is there more point in killing them?"

Niu Er said: "At the very least, these two bastards have to accept the law and be punished. ”

Waving his hand, Li Lu said, "Everyone is responsible for what they do." Those who should be subject to sanctions will be dealt with by the relevant departments. Let's not worry about it. ”

Pei Xiaoshan frowned and said, "Chief, do you really plan to retire?"

Looking at Pei Xiaoshan and smiling, Li Lu lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "I haven't asked about domestic affairs in the past 20 years, and I don't plan to ask about it now or in the future." Let them toss it. ”

"But Li Mai's ......," Niu Er said hesitantly.

"Don't worry about him, if he has that ability, he will naturally be able to make some achievements. Without that ability, we old guys can't help it. Li Lu said, "A man in his twenties, he knows what to do." ”

Pei Xiaoshan still said uncomfortably, "But the current situation ...... If my sister-in-law doesn't care about Li Mai on her side, and you don't care about it, he's alone. ”

Shaking his head, Li Lu said, "There are helpers everywhere, and the key is to rely on him to develop and fight for it." Compared to what happened to us back then, the situation he encountered was too simple. Don't talk about it from his side, let's think about that big thing. ”

Niu Er asked puzzledly, "What's the big deal?"

Pei Xiaoshan also looked at Li Lu suspiciously.

Li Lu glanced at them suspiciously, and said, "Of course it's a matter of pursuing your sister-in-law, what kind of memory do I say you two!"

Niu Er and Pei Xiaoshan didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"It's been 20 years since I disappeared, and I guess your sister-in-law's heart is full of resentment. If I go back in such a hurry, I will be killed. Moreover, if I didn't put Zhai Xiaojing in order, I wouldn't have the face to see Li Mai - I was thinking about guiding my son to chase girls. Li Luyan said.

Niu Er and Pei Xiaoshan finally stabilized their bodies and didn't fall down, but they were both speechless-this was the big thing in Li Lu's eyes!

"Uh, platoon leader, sister-in-law, does she know you're back?" Niu Er scratched his head and asked.

"I definitely know. Li Lu said.

Pei Xiaoshan also scratched his head and said, "Uh, chief, I don't know anything about this matter." ”

Li Lu looked at Niu Er, not to mention Niu Er, shook his head, his face was dazed, and Li Lu had a headache. If it were to draw up a special operations plan, these two subordinates would be able to make an action plan and file a number of records in a few minutes.

But when it comes to dealing with women, you're blind.

"Well, I guess it's my own headache. ”
