Chapter 12: Mindless

Ordinary people in the Republic may not have much opportunity to deal with the two departments of the Sect Bureau and the Special Intelligence Bureau. But he was a member of the system β€” albeit just a junior official β€” and knew that those two names meant trouble. If you want to explain to ordinary people what they do, the most straightforward way to put it is: similar to the East Factory and West Factory of the previous dynasty.

So he wisely shut up. In fact, there are some regrets - it shouldn't have been involved.

That Li Qingyan may indeed be an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to be involved with some other big people. If he had known in the morning, he must have asked Li Cheng to injure himself just now, and then he could hide and recuperate.

Fortunately, Zhou Gongzi didn't want to help himself.

And Zhou Gongzi himself thought about it and walked a dozen steps deeper into the corridor. Lin Chenghu could only follow him. And I thought it would be nice if my men hadn't patrolled the wasteland todayβ€”so he could signal them to call him out of trouble too.

Then I saw Zhou Gongzi take out a flat portable telephone from the inner pocket of his jacket - commonly known as a mobile phone.

Lin Chenghu saw the real thing for the first time.

Zhou Gongzi opened the lid of his mobile phone and dialed a number, without avoiding him.

Wait a minute. A smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Zheng, what have you been busy with lately?"

Then he started settling with the people on the phone. After a few minutes of gossip, Zhou Gongzi said, "...... Oh, yes. It's been a long time since the old classmates have been seen. I heard a while ago that Lin Xiaoman was transferred to Europe as a stationmaster, ha...... Well, I also remember Li Qingyan. Where, where......"

β€œ...... If the two of them were really together, Old Man Lin would have a headache. ”

After a while.

Lin Chenghu saw Zhou Gongzi's face turn cold. But there was still a smile in his voice: "Really? ”

"Haha...... Definitely, definitely. When the time comes, Mr. Zheng will be the east. ”

After a few more words, Zhou Gongzi closed the lid and put the phone back in his inner pocket.

He was silent for a moment and did not speak. Lin Chenghu could imagine that the information he heard must not be good news-it should be a confirmation of Li Qingyan's statement.

So he wanted the matter to end as soon as possible – at least not in his checkpoint. How could this small temple of his stand such a demonic wind?

Lin Chenghu lowered his voice and asked carefully: "If it is inconvenient for Gongzi Zhou to show up again...... I'm going to see them off. ”

Zhou Gongzi smiled coldly: "I'm not afraid of Lin Xiaoman to that extent." The European Station of the Sect Bureau can handle my. ”

Lin Chenghu realized that this was the first time that this noble man had said words that were not so elegant.

"Old Man Lin doesn't care even more. He glanced at Lin Chenghu, "How can a person like him have the kung fu to take care of such a trivial matter." Taking a step back, he should wish that Lin Xiaoman and that person were as far away as possible. Otherwise, what about it?'The youngest stationmaster of the Zongdao Bureau has a very personal relationship with the demon clan'? ”

There's no need to say so much to yourself. Lin Chenghu thought to himself, Zhou Gongzi ...... It was for himself.

But he could only sigh in his heart and say, "So...... Keep buckling it down?"

"Button that girl down. Zhou Gongzi's face was gloomy.

β€œ...... But there should be nothing wrong with the girl. ”

Zhou Gongzi sneered: "It's just that I can't let him go out happily." ”

Lin Chenghu sighed in his heart again. I don't know what kind of holiday the two had in the past, so that to the point where this son still refuses to let go - just to "not make him happy". But he couldn't say anything more.

The two re-entered the door. Zhou Gongzi's face was gloomy, and Lin Chenghu's expression was greatly softened - almost polite.

"You can go. Lin Chenghu said to Li Qingyan, "It was all a misunderstanding just now. But we'll look into it further. ”

He saw that Li Qingyan was really as Zhou Gongzi said, and laughed happily. He nodded to Zhou Gongzi: "Thank you, old classmate." ”

Stood up and patted the girl on the shoulder: "Let's go." ”

"She had to stay. Zhou Gongzi looked at Li Qingyan, "She doesn't have a migration certificate." The identity is questionable. It was to investigate her further. ”

The star fruit, who was just about to get up, was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Qingyan. So the latter seems to have become less happy. He sat down slowly: "Gongzi Zhou, there's no need." ”

Zhou Gongzi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I think it's necessary." ”

Li Qingyan was silent for a while and sighed: "Can we talk alone." Just like old classmates, reminisce about the old days alone. ”

Zhou Gongzi smiled: "It seems that this girl is indeed very important to you." Pretty is pretty, but farm girl, doesn't understand anything. What do you like about her? Does Lin Xiaoman know?"

β€œ...... Lin Xiaoman and I are just ordinary friends. It always has been. Li Qingyan said sincerely, "Let's have a good talk." ”

He leaned forward slightly, his shoulders slightly retracted. Lin Chenghu knew that this meant that a person felt uneasy and subconsciously wanted to protect himself.

Seeing his sincere rather than tough attitude, Lin Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This means that this bit really doesn't have a "backstage". The friendship with the stationmaster in Zhou Gongzi's mouth should not be particularly deep. So he regretted it again - he knew that this was the case, and he was more tough and enthusiastic in front of Zhou Gongzi just now.

Missed a good opportunity.

Zhou Gongzi also felt the same way. This means that those words he said to himself earlier make sense. Whether it is Lin Xiaoman or Old Man Lin, it is impossible for a little girl to stand up for this person.

After all, they are on the same class as themselves. There are things that can be done, but they are not deserved. Otherwise, what will others say? The Lin family interfered with the judiciary for a young girl lover of the demon clan? People like them know when to cherish their feathers. He himself was one of them. He knows the rules, so he can take advantage of them.

So he thought for a moment and laughed, "Okay." Let's talk about it separately. ”

He knew what might happen next. Li Qingyan would say something sincerely to himselfβ€”when he realized that his friendship with Lin Xiaoman could protect him, but he couldn't protect that girl. Xiao Man's identity can bluff some people. For example, people like Lin Chenghu.

That kind of person has never seen much of the world, but has a taste of power for the first time. Therefore, there is a blind sense of reverence for those who represent power. Thinking that you can do whatever you want with power, but not knowing that power is subject to limitations. It is not restricted by any laws or policies, but by other powers and networks.

Only people of his class understand this checks and balances. This leads to a better understanding of how to defuse the threat posed by power – a net in which sometimes it can be broken by ingenuity.

It's a pity that Li Qingyan never understood this - he didn't understand it seven years ago, and he still doesn't understand it now.

The girl was taken out by Lin Chenghu and was uneasy. Fortunately, he was obedient and didn't yell.

The door was shut. Zhou Gongzi looked at Li Qingyan with a smile: "What do you want to say to me? Apologize for what happened back then? Maybe I'll change my mind. ”

But Li Qingyan's body stretched out, and he no longer looked like he was so careless just now. He sighed and shook his head regretfully.

It was as if he had become an interrogator at this point.

"Zhou Lihuang. He frowned slightly, "Why bother yourself?"
