Chapter 1128 An Irreversible Agreement
After Lu Mingfei left Blue Harbor, Lin Nian did not go back to the courtyard that was supposed to be for him to rest. Instead, he sat alone under an umbrella by the lakeside, leaning on the back of the chair and leaning on the fingers of his right hand. He tapped on the table repeatedly, looking at the empty chair opposite him from the corner of his eye and thinking deeply, motionless.
Occasionally, patrolling security guards would come by and ask questions, but Lin Nian used the excuse that the writer was out looking for inspiration and it was hard to find a loophole. He could only sit here by himself, blowing the cold lake breeze. Due to his dutiful attitude, he would come over to check on him from time to time. Seeing this strange young man, he didn't even think about jumping into the lake before he gave up.
There are a lot of strange people and strange things happening these days, not to mention that this is still Beigen. People from all over the world gather here. It is abnormal to see too many strange people.
Lin Nian sat here all night, occasionally looking up at the dimly lit lake view and the thin light of the city behind the green garden in the distance, until the east became white and the lights in the blue harbor were all extinguished in an instant. When the whole world sank into the unique lake-like blue of dawn, he stopped tapping his fingers on the table in the darkness.
"Are you sure there is nothing you want to tell me in advance?" Lin Nian asked, looking at the blond girl who was sleeping on a chair with her legs crossed on the table and her arms around her.
He sat here all night, and the blonde girl also stayed with him all night. The two of them had no communication or need to communicate until someone spoke.
The blonde girl yawned firmly. The lake breeze blew her three or two golden hairs and stuck them to the corners of her wet mouth. When there was no one else around, she didn't even make a move to cover her slightly open mouth. In Lin Nian's eyes, She is always so casual and wanton around her. After all, even if Lin Nian really gets tired of her one day, he can't find an option to break up. She feels like a bad wife who exposed her true nature after her husband was trapped by the child.
"Hmm. Your question is very strange. Aren't we always good partners who tell us everything?" The blonde girl turned sideways on the chair, folded her crossed legs and curled up in the chair, like It was a cat, its magnificent golden eyes half-lidded looking at him through its eyelashes.
"The premise of telling everything you know is that I need to ask questions so that you can tell me everything, right?"
"Learn to be smart." The blonde girl teased in a low voice, "It seems that you don't need an instruction manual to read me. Should I be honored to finally get the same status as Lu Mingfei after working around for so many years?"
"Chen Wenwen, her appearance is not an accident." Lin Nian said lightly.
He had been thinking about some issues all night long, deliberating over and over again, and now he needed someone else to verify the reliability of these conjectures for him. In this environment and in this situation, the only choice for this person is the blond girl, Yelena, whom he can always rely on, who he can trust.
"Well, it's really not an accident. Although she does attend Beigan University and does take Line 4 to Line 2 every day, it's a pity that her appearance is destined, even if they didn't meet that time two or three days ago. , there will always be time for them to meet each other by chance, after all, Line 2 is a circle line, the subway and the people taking the subway go around in a circle, and they will always meet in the end," the blonde girl said interestingly.
"Why is it her?" Lin Nian asked.
The blonde girl yawned lazily again, squirmed her body curled up in the chair and did not answer the question. Lin Nian thought about it all night as she would not need to answer such questions.
"Lu Mingfei." Lin Nian then answered his own question, "Lu Mingfei is the key. Someone is eyeing him and wants to use Chen Wenwen as a window to take advantage of Lu Mingfei."
"Why can't we kill Lu Mingfei?" The blonde girl leaned her head on the armrest of the chair, lazily lowering her eyes and looking sideways at Lin Nian, "Lu Mingfei is as special as you, because he is a variable in the overall situation. "As for the chess pieces that exist, what chess players hate most are always the 'variables', and Lu Mingfei has already very successfully interfered with the situation once as a 'variable'."
"Lu Mingfei will not die so easily. Even if all the team members of Operation Bei'an die this time, he will definitely survive until the end." Lin Nian expressed his opinion in almost cold-blooded words.
"Your opinion is correct." The blond girl recognized Lin Nian's opinion, "Then you know that your opponent is going to attack Lu Mingfei, what are your plans? You previously approved Lu Mingfei's contact with Chen Wenwen. Looking at the overall situation, you should cold-bloodedly instigate him to stay away from Chen Wenwen. Wouldn't it be possible to nip this problem in the bud by disconnecting this line in advance? "
"It's useless." Lin Nian said lightly, "No matter what Lu Mingfei chooses, as long as he knows Chen Wenwen's current existence, if something happens to Chen Wenwen, he will desperately get into the trap. This has nothing to do with whether he chooses or not. There is no conflict at all in contacting Chen Wenwen. He is this kind of person. He is determined to be drunk until dusk and worry alone. If someone reaches out to him in the past, he will still choose to go with her. "
"Instead of letting him put aside Chen Wenwen's matter and wait until something goes wrong before being brought into the situation, it is better to let him hold Chen Wenwen's line from the beginning. The tighter the hold, the more confident he will be when the situation is broken. What happened at the hearing taught me The truth is, sometimes you can't back down just because you know it's a game. This kind of retreat is probably what the enemy wants," Lin Nian said, "Chen Wenwen is indeed a game. What I'm curious about is how this point will be used. Explode.”
"Anyway, it's just death." The blond girl chuckled, "In addition to death as a curtain call for this kind of girl, is there any better ending?"
"But Chen Wenwen's death will only anger Lu Mingfei." Lin Nian said, he paused slightly, "I have never seen Lu Mingfei angry, but I know that if that scene really happened, the scene would definitely be I have always been curious about what kind of energy he can unleash if he loses control because of anger."
"——But this situation must be something our enemies don't want to see," Lin Nian shook his head, "Detonating a dumb mine for no reason? It's a thankless thing."
The blond girl suddenly said quietly, "Is there a possibility that someone wants Chen Wenwen to die in your hands? Then that is enough reason for this dumb thunder to explode. Ha, since they are all 'variables', then why Don’t let ‘variables’ fight to the death with ‘variables’?”
"Yelena, do you think this is what the 'Emperor' thinks?" Lin Nian asked, "You are the person who knows Him best. I need you to simulate and deconstruct His thoughts."
"Then you think too highly of me." The blonde girl shook her head regretfully, "No one can guess what He is thinking. If I can imitate His thoughts, then I won't be so miserable before."
Lin Nian was silent, but he did not ask about the "previous" things, because he knew that he would not get any useful answers. The so-called knowing everything was just the blond girl thinking that Lin Nian could know everything.
"Let Chen Wenwen die in my hands." Lin Nian glanced at the palm of his hand. "This is an interesting point of view, but it is also difficult to achieve."
"It's just a possibility. There is no need to get too entangled. Sometimes if you get too entangled in one point, you will often fall into His trap." The blond girl said, "Why don't you tell me what you are going to do next? Since Chen Wenwen's point is She has been exposed in front of our eyes, we must do something, we cannot let her gradually lose control in the bureau. "
"." Lin Nian fell into silence, as if he had no good solution.
"Let me tell you, stay away from Chen Wenwen. As long as she dies and doesn't splatter you with blood, you have nothing to do with this matter. Even if Lu Mingfei explodes, his target is still the 'Emperor'. You have added a reliable person for no reason." With your fighting power, wouldn’t the two swords just cut down the king of the earth and the mountain? As far as I know, there is no dragon king who can stop you and Lu Mingfei, who is full of firepower, from attacking." The girl suggested with a slight smile.
Lin Nian didn't give an answer, just thinking silently.
"Chen Wenwen has only been slightly brought up on the table now. Just keep an eye on it and don't ignore other really important issues." The blond girl said casually, turning her head to look at the dark blue lake near the lake not far away. The figure walked in the dawn, "Let's solve the current problem first."
Lin Nian did not look in the direction where the blonde girl was looking. He sat quietly on the chair and meditated.
Until the figure in the dawn approached and could clearly see the iconic wide-length white T-shirt and the dazzlingly long white legs, you could basically guess the identity of the visitor, but there was no need to look clearly at the figure. A more outstanding and cool face.
Walking in front of Lin Nian, Li Huoyue stood still and briefly observed the quiet and cold lakeside environment around him. Then he took off the long box he was carrying on his back, lifted it up and placed it horizontally in the forest with a half-turn. On the table in front of the New Year.
The box is made of bronze and has complicated patterns. It is the Dragon Sword Box that appeared in the principal's office. The alchemy sword "Seven Deadly Sins" is sealed inside. After being checked on the plane's secret route, it finally returned to Lin Nian.
"It arrived last night. You can check whether the contents inside are complete. If there are no problems, it means that the handover of the goods has been completed now." Li Huanyue said.
Lin Nian waved his hand slightly. It was not surprising that Li Hueyue knew that he was here. The things arrived last night and they were only delivered to his door now, which already meant a lot. It seemed that Zhengtong still understood people's words and was willing to give Lin Nian some face, so things would be much easier to handle after that.
"You've been here all night." Li Huoyue asked.
"You don't seem like someone who cares about whether I stay up late." Lin Nian didn't look at her.
"The clan leader of the Sima family wants to invite you to tea." Li Huanyue looked at Lin Nian who was sitting quietly on the chair and said calmly, "The time is scheduled for two o'clock this afternoon, and the location is in the outer hall of 'Longfeng Garden'. I need to know Is your mental state able to support this meeting?"
"After procrastinating for so many days, is anyone in the orthodox family finally willing to see me? But why is it only the Sima family? If I remember correctly, there should be a subtle and even distribution of the right to speak within the orthodox family. Only the Sima family Aren’t you afraid of other people’s opinions when you see me alone?”
"I never speak arbitrarily about the considerations and decisions of the superiors. Naturally, they have their own considerations and reasons for doing so." Li Huanyue said, "But if you want an answer, I can give you an opinion from my perspective. If I were As the organizer of the meeting, I will not be willing or comfortable to allow you to meet in the same room or in public with the five orthodox clan leaders."
Lin Nian turned his gaze slightly, and he naturally understood Li Hueyue's subtext - no force would be willing to allow a leader-level figure to meet with someone like Lin Nian, even if it was a secret party, at today's school board meeting Lin Nian was rarely summoned to meet him. It was not because of alienation, but because of worry.
The rulers of ‘Moment’ and ‘Time Zero’ deserve this kind of fear and distance. Whether it is Hilbert Jean Ange or Lin Nian, if you sit at the same table with him, no matter what kind of negotiation is going to be conducted next, you are at a natural disadvantage, because the right to overturn the table is always in the hands of the other party. Sitting down means putting your life in the hands of the other party. This kind of negotiation is inherently unfair.
Perhaps Ange is still okay, but Lin Nian really needs to be vigilant, because according to investigations by many people, this young super hybrid is really rootless and bottomless. He wants to completely ignite and overturn everything, and the price he has to pay is too small, so small that those people in high positions are afraid.
"The Sima Xuxu family of the Sima family?" Lin Nian bowed his head, "It doesn't matter, it's just a window, any family is the same. However, as one of the indirect participants in the matter, it seems that you don't care about this matter very much?"
"How do you see my attitude?" Li Huoyue asked.
"I have never seen you care about one thing, so I assume that if your attitude remains unchanged, you will not care about anything, including your loyalty to the orthodoxy." Lin Nian said slowly.
Li Huoyue did not comment on Lin Nian's provocative words, but said calmly, "Then I sincerely hope that you can really come up with the technology to complete the "Moon" plan as you said. This is a matter of great significance to the orthodoxy."
"Hypocrisy." Lin Nian whispered.
He stood up from the chair, stretched out his hand to lift the heavy bronze sword box and placed it on his side. "As a beneficiary of the "Moon" plan, or a victim, I can't see any pride and arrogance in you. Even the lowest students in Kassel Academy will be proud of their school uniforms. Maybe I don't know what you are thinking, but I just hope that the agreement you made with me in the courtyard that day is counted. I don't like lies and betrayal."
"Definitely." Li Huoyue said lightly.
Lin Nian took the bronze sword case and walked a few steps outside the parasol. The first ray of sunlight from the top of the city's high-rise buildings on the other side of the green garden shone through the clouds and fell between the two of them.
He suddenly looked back at Li Huoyue, who was scattered with light, and stared at her beautiful face, "Before everything is irreversible, I still have to ask you one more question. Do you know what you are going to do? Li Huoyue."
Li Huoyue looked at Lin Nian in the sunlight and nodded slowly. Half of her cheek was whitened by the early sun, dazzling and dazzling, "It has always been like this, never lost."
Lin Nian did not ask any more questions, watching Li Huoyue nod gently, turned around and melted into more sunlight, leaving Li Huoyue standing alone by the sparkling lake in the early morning.
