Birmingham, England, on the outskirts of an industrial area, is a place with many old castles, a large estate.

Qin Guohua and his wife live here.

The English butler brought tea and left silently.

This large estate is worth a lot of money, and there are more servants than family members.

Qin Guohua and Xu Zeli sat on the balcony outside the study, watching the sunset.

Away from the smoke of the shopping mall, Qin Guohua and his wife really experienced what life is. For Xu Zeli, the loss of Guosheng Group is actually not a good thing. At least you don't have to worry about life every day.

The scenery from the perspective of outsiders, but insiders have their own bitter taste.

Qin Guohua's spirit was much better, and he slowly walked out of the knot of the death of his eldest son Qin Junjie. Xu Zeli wants to see this.

Unlike other families, the Qin family is not the male host, but the female hostess who is the strongest at a critical moment. After the death of her eldest son, Xu Zeli never shed tears, nor did she show a trace of sadness, so that everyone said that she was cold-blooded.

Only Qin Guohua understands his wife - she is not not sad, but she is strong and not sad.

A qiē finally passed, and the days passed like this, and the youngest son came back from London on the weekend to have a family reunion for two or three days, and so on.

Xu Zeli thinks this is the best.

The Qin family will not run out of money, and the deposits in the Swiss bank are enough for their family to live a high-end life for the rest of their lives.

It's just that Xu Zeli keenly noticed that from noon, Qin Guohua's expression was always a little different from usual. Decades of old couples, the slightest change in each other will be felt by each other.

"Lao Qin, the phone you answered at noon was domestic, right?" Xu Zeli drank some rose-scented tea and asked.

Qin Guohua withdrew his gaze from the slowly setting sunset in the distance, glanced at his wife, nodded slowly, sighed softly, but did not speak.

His expression was complicated, with distress, surprise, confusion, and a little fear. Xu Zeli had never seen him show such a look, even in the face of someone like Li Mai, he had never had such a complicated expression.

For no reason, Xu Zeli's heart jumped a few times suddenly.

Could it be ......

Xu Zeli put down the teacup and looked at Qin Guohua, Qin Guohua looked over, took a deep breath, and slowly whispered, "He's not dead." ”

In just three words, it smashed into Xu Zeli's heart like a boulder, which was shocked and afraid.

He ...... Where is he?" asked Xu Zeli with some difficulty.

Qin Guohua's mood slowly recovered, and he said, "Nangang." He showed up, after his grandson was in distress. ”

For a long time, the two of them were speechless, silent and silent, and the sunset went down halfway.

"Old Qin, will we be retaliated against?"

Xu Zeli watched the sunset from afar and asked slowly.

Shaking his head, Qin Guohua said in a low voice, "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it." It's been 20 years, and those who can't get over it will never be able to get by. I'm Qin Guohua...... All continued. Just ......"

Looking at Xu Zeli, Qin Guohua said guiltily, "It's just that it has affected you." ”

Shaking her head slowly, Xu Zeli smiled a little bitterly, "Marry the chicken and marry the dog, you follow, I will follow with you." I hope he can let Junhao go, and the rest doesn't matter. ”

Silent again, the sun slowly set, and darkness gradually enveloped the land.

The imperial capital, or the courtyard, the patio, Zheng Kaiyun and Yang Liu, the heads of important organs. Even though there were delicious meals on the small wooden table and some loose Moutai, neither of them was in the mood to have a few drinks.

When Yang Liu was about to start the meal, Zheng Kaiyun came in a hurry and asked the guard to add dishes and chopsticks, Yang Liu didn't have time to smile and say Let's go a few times, Zheng Kaiyun completely wiped out his mood with a word.

"He's not dead, he's back in Southport. ”

Who he is couldn't be clearer, but it took a while for Yang Liu to react, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say, Li Lu?"

Zheng Kaiyun gasped, her lips trembled a little, and nodded.

Yang Liu slowly put down the wine glass he had just picked up, reached out to reach for the table of Great China, and found that his hands were trembling slightly. finally lit a cigarette, but before he could smoke it, he was snatched by Zheng Kaiyun regardless of it and took a deep breath.

Yang Liu didn't plan to order another one, looking at Zheng Kaiyun, Zheng Kaiyun also looked at him, and for a while, he was relatively speechless.

What can be said?

It seems that even if you have a lifetime meeting, you can't come up with a feasible solution?

What are you going to do with it?

Ridiculous, stupid.

"What are you thinking?" Yang Liu spoke first and asked Zheng Kaiyun.

Zheng Kaiyun didn't know if it was because of the smell of tobacco at this moment, so he gradually calmed down and said, "I'm thinking, what kind of ending I will be." ”

Pulling the corners of his mouth a little stiffly, Yang Liu said, "Did you figure it out?"

"There is no ending. Zheng Kaiyun shrugged his shoulders very shamefully.

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "I am not his person, whether it was or is or will be. We were in different camps twenty years ago. Entering the saber regiment was ordered by the upper peak. I think Li Lu hates you more than he hates us. Because you are traitors. ”

Yang Liu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Are you gloating?"

"I'm reminding you that if you don't find a way to deal with it, it will end badly. Zheng Kaiyun said, holding his glasses.

Yang Liu was silent - Zheng Kaiyun didn't scare him, and he didn't need to scare.

After taking a few deep puffs of cigarette, Zheng Kaiyun said slowly, "You are a student sponsored by his wife, you used to be called sisters and brothers, and you can step into the military world, basically because of this relationship." After the Great Wall of Su, for a long time, you have been Li Lu's only assistant, and in the eyes of others, Li Lu's henchman was the confidant until he was hidden. Your betrayal, I think, should be the most unbearable level in Li Lu's heart. ”

"I don't need you to analyze it for me. Yang Liu said coldly, "I know my situation. However, after the past 20 years, do you think he will still hold on to the past? Don't forget, this is not 20 years ago, the world is very different. ”

Smiling lightly, Zheng Kaiyun said, "You have been with him for so long, you should know best what kind of temperament he has." As for the world, it is very different - before today, everyone doubted that Li Lu was not dead, but no one could be sure that he was not dead. In fact, do you know where he would have been if he hadn't died?"

Obviously, Yang Liu's expression was already obvious - I don't know.

Zheng Kaiyun said slowly: "I don't know, the General Administration of Internal Affairs doesn't know, the Internal Security Bureau doesn't know, the Ministry of Political Security doesn't know, the External Liaison Department doesn't know, the Secrecy Bureau doesn't know, not to mention Jinyiwei, in short, the entire organization under the Security Committee doesn't know - the whole world doesn't know." ”

After a pause, Zheng Kaiyun said, "If he dies, we don't know where the body is, which makes sense." But he is still alive after so many years, and it is said that he is still alive and well, and his spirit is better than that of you and me. But no one knows where he has been for the past twenty years!"

"Do you think that's normal?"

Yang Liu's face has changed greatly, and there are few things in a position like him that make his face change greatly, but after gradually regaining his senses, after Zheng Kaiyun analyzed the situation, he had to change his face greatly.

In the past 20 years, there has been no news about Li Lu in the intelligence network all over the world, which shows that the intelligence network is extremely inefficient or does it not cover well?

There is hardly such a question as zài.

The only thing that can explain this problem is only one situation: there are many forces blocking the news of Li Lu, and one blockade is twenty years!

"You don't think he's capable of doing anything to us. Zheng Kaiyun smiled bleakly and shook his head, "Naïve." ”

Yang Liu was speechless.

Zheng Kaiyun stomped the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "I'm also naïve, very naïve from the beginning." It's not just you and me, but the old men above are ridiculously naïve!"

Shaking his head with a miserable smile, he said, "He's invincible." ”

The pessimistic feelings spread all at once, and Yang Liu even saw the expressionless gendarmes walking towards him, waiting for him to be thrown into prison for violating a certain law, and then pronounced, executed, and ended his life.

A strong desire to survive came up in his heart, but Yang Liu tried his best to suppress it, took a few deep breaths, and said slowly, "You decided to sit still and wait for death, right?"

Zheng Kaiyun looked at him, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Yang Liu took a deep breath again, and said slowly, "Let's think of a way......" He pondered, recalled, and pondered, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Zheng Kaiyun, "He is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, and it is absolutely impossible to hit hard, and we don't have that strength." The old men above can't count on you and me to be the scapegoats thrown out if something happens. ”

"This is the norm, and it is only at the top of the biological chain that it can be avoided. Zheng Kaiyun nodded in agreement.

Shaking his head unconsciously, Yang Liu said, "We have to survive on our own." It's time to make up your mind to get out of this circle, and if you continue to play, your life will be gone, but it will never be possible to affect your family. ”

"You and my family are all ......" Zheng Kaiyun didn't say anything halfway through, this earth seems to have no dead ends for Li Lu.

At present, the leaders of the powerful countries on several continents are almost all agents cultivated by Li Lu back then. Thinking of this, Zheng Kaiyun couldn't help but let out a cold sweat - his influence has already radiated all over the world, only occasionally, subconsciously, some people will deliberately or unintentionally ignore this, trying to reduce his influence, but the facts are the facts, and it is by no means something that can be changed by covering his ears and stealing the bell.

"Yes, only by being soft and obeying softness can there be hope of escaping this catastrophe and surviving the remnants of life. ”

Zheng Kaiyun and Yang Liu looked at each other, and they both saw the loneliness of prosperity and dispersion from each other's eyes......
