At night, the bustling pedestrian commercial street in Xingzhou city center.
The lights in the music bar called "Star Tears" are flashing, and young people in fancy clothes are enjoying the nightlife without any restrictions.
Yu Zhesen sat on a high stool on the side of the bar and clinked glasses with the middle-aged man wearing big sunglasses next to him.
"Does the atmosphere here still meet your taste?" the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"Are you kidding?" Yu Zhesen denied it flatly. "To ask such a question shows that you don't understand me at all. You are very incompetent as an adoptive father."
An Zhitian smiled, and his sunglasses slid slightly from the bridge of his nose, revealing the scar that was almost too long to cover.
"I don't care, it's enough for An An to understand you."
"An'an is my sister, not my mother."
"A eldest sister is like a mother." An Zhitian took a sip of his cocktail, "Isn't she taking care of your daily life now? It's almost like being a mother."
"Who said that..." Yu Zhesen couldn't help rolling his eyes, "I am an adult and I take care of my own daily life."
"Then what do you do with your artificial intelligence maid all day long?" An Zhitian choked.
"She wants to follow me, not that I have to take her with me." Yu Zhesen replied somewhat arrogantly.
An Zhitian clinked glasses with him again and muttered "It smells shameless" in a low voice.
Yu Zhesen changed the subject: "How come you still have time to come to the nightclub to drink? Aren't you under house arrest by the Supreme Council?"
An Zhitian glared at him: "Where did you hear this rumor?"
"Ying Xiaoli said, someone wants you to get out of class. She said you are in a very bad situation." Yu Zhesen thought for a while and decided to say the name of the arbitrator "Renai". This name is not widely known, so in a bar like this
Concealment is very good in crowded places.
An Zhitian obviously knew who Ying Xiaoli was. He frowned slightly: "Has that woman come to see you? Why is she telling you this?"
"Maybe you want to get close to me so that I can help solve the case." Yu Zhesen replied casually.
"Isn't the rapid response department in charge of that case? This woman is really nosy."
"That's not because your subordinates have been unable to close the case, so she took time off from her own work to work on it." Yu Zhesen teased, "After contacting her a few times, I think Ying Xiaoli is a pretty good person. There is no arbitration.
He has the airs of an official, and he really dares to take action when things happen, and he is responsible and responsible."
An Zhitian chuckled at this and made no comment.
"Why, Lao An, what do you have to say?"
"Don't label a person from the Supreme Council as reliable so easily." An Zhitian gave advice, "Because you may not really understand the respective positions and opinions of the twelve arbitrators, and naturally you cannot guess their true intentions.
What is the purpose."
"Lao An, do you know this?"
An Zhitian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I can only say that I know part of it... I am not interested in things involving the upper-level politics of the Administration. I just have to deal with them sometimes, so I passively know part of it."
Yu Zhesen asked again: "'Brilliant', 'Goodness', 'Diligence', 'Eternal' and 'Lawful' are the five arbitrators who are mainly against you, right? Because they were dealing with disaster-level disasters in Qidao City before.
When you encountered criminals with supernatural powers, you did not fully cooperate with them and violated the will of the Supreme Council."
"The decisions of the five of them do not fully represent the will of the Supreme Council. I just did what I should do." An Zhitian disagreed with this, "I am also very happy that you did not succumb to their authority at the bottom of the sea.
Submitted better answers.”
Yu Zhesen didn't expect to be praised by An Zhitian all of a sudden. His old face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "That's not my fault alone..."
"Of course I recognize the efforts of all of you in the crisis, but I am still proud of your choice." An Zhitian patted Yu Zhesen on the shoulder, "Those five guys can regard millions of people as a number of sacrifices, but
We can't, if the Security Bureau sets such a precedent, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yu Zhesen twirled his wine glass: "Will this world usher in the collapse of the Iron Dome order?"
"It's not hard to predict." An Zhitian sighed, "I believe that in certain things, you can use unscrupulous means and use conspiracy, such as attacking our mortal enemy Guilin Sect. But when it comes to issues related to the survival of the city and the people, safety
The Bureau must adhere to the bottom line."
Yu Zhesen was stunned for a moment. He shouldn't have been surprised when he heard An Zhitian calling the Guilin Sect his mortal enemy, but at this moment, Jian Yiran's figure appeared in his mind.
The high-ranking priest of the Advent sect who kept calling him "Senior", who hid his true identity and pretended to be a well-behaved newcomer to fight with him, and who had been with him for a while, would still break into his dreams from time to time even after he confessed and said goodbye.
In the end, it was Claire who covered up his mistake of letting Jane go, saving him from the harshest punishment from within the Security Bureau, and successfully received the title of Iron Dome Hero and the Defender Medal.
But when Yu Zhesen recalled these things in front of An Zhitian, he still inevitably felt guilty and ashamed.
He could only cover up his uneasiness with wine and respond with a perfunctory "hmm".
An Zhitian felt the perfunctoriness in his response, but mistakenly thought it was the adopted son's impatience with his adoptive father's continuous preaching.
"Forget it, it's rare that we get together and let's not talk about this." An Zhitian ordered two more glasses of whiskey, "You and An An don't have to worry about my affairs, because worrying is useless and you can't help."
"You say that, it makes us two very useless." Yu Zhesen's eyes showed dissatisfaction, "I know you have been accustomed to being a lone ranger for so many years, but heroes will also grow old, and it is not shameful to rely on us occasionally."
"Shameful, very fucking shameful." An Zhitian retorted, "Do you know when I felt the most shameful in my life?"
Yu Zhesen thought for a while and carefully probed: "When Aunt Yaqin died unfortunately?"
"No, losing my wife only brings me grief, not shame." An Zhitian held his forehead lines, "It was the moment your parents left because of light radiation pollution..."
"Why?" Yu Zhesen didn't quite understand.
"As their immediate superior and senior, I failed to protect them, but was protected by them." An Zhitian sighed, "Your parents, they have always trusted me and trusted me without reservation. Faced with my arrangements
They did not hesitate at all to complete their mission, even if the road ahead was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If it hadn't been for my order, they would have stayed in the city to eliminate the remaining enemies instead of going to the Xinghuan Mountain base, and they would not have sacrificed like that..."
"Someone has to stand up and protect everyone." Yu Zhesen pressed An Zhitian's shoulder with his hand, "When the world falls apart, some people are helpless, and some people are hung up. Only true heroes can overcome all obstacles. Lao An
You should be proud of having such a subordinate, not ashamed."
An Zhitian put down his hand, his eyes a little red: "Peace is destined for heroes, and there are no heroes to enjoy peace. This is what makes me feel ashamed. I would rather replace them... But the past cannot be changed, I can do it
The only thing I can do is not regret it again. So I won’t rely on anyone easily again.”
Yu Zhesen stared into An Zhitian's eyes and was moved by the sincerity in his eyes. Unknowingly, his vision was also blurry.
"Don't say anything." He took the initiative to clink glasses with An Zhitian for the first time tonight, "Don't be too naughty. An An and I are not ordinary people. If anything happens, you can trust us."
