"Cousin-in-law, you have been chatting on the phone. What if you miss the most important call?"

No need to ask, this person must be Gu Han.

His attitude made Li Yuanlang very disgusted, so he asked: "Gu Han, have you been spying on me?"

"No, I happened to be passing by and accidentally saw you talking on the phone, so I gave you a suggestion." Gu Han put his hands in his pockets, shrugged, and walked up to Li Yuanlang with an indifferent look.

"Shameless." Li Yuanlang bit his back teeth, glared at Gu Han angrily, and bumped his shoulder as he passed through him.

When Li Yuanlang disappeared, Gu Han sneered, with a chill in his eyes.

Bai Qing never called again, but sent a message to Li Yuanlang, a few simple words, confirming that they would meet at a coffee shop in the Erhuan Hutong at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

That night, Li Yuanlang thought a lot.

The next morning, the Gu family arranged a car and driver to take Li Yuanlang to his destination.

The Second Ring Road Old Hutong is a protective measure taken by the capital to preserve the style of the ancient capital.

The courtyard itself is a kind of art. The architectural layout is reasonable, and every plant, tree, brick and tile is very particular.

It has a long history, some of which are thousands of years old, and is of great research value. It is a part of cultural inheritance and a rare ancient building. It cannot be demolished just by talking about it.

Moreover, the courtyard has long been integrated into the flesh and blood of the capital city and penetrated into the bone marrow of the capital city. It is impossible to separate it.

Compared with high-rise buildings made of concrete, courtyards are the soul, an irreplaceable symbol of memory, and the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors.

What's more, there is no shortage of high-rise buildings in the capital. Preserving these courtyard houses with architectural features and historical charm has become the first choice.

The coffee shop Bai Qing chose is located on the roadside in an alley.

Since the capital was sparsely populated at this time, the alleys looked quiet and elegant, and it was difficult for pedestrians to see even a few of them.

Pushing the door open, Bai Qing was sitting in a booth in the corner.

There were about ten people in the cafe, all young men and women.

What's interesting is that they were sitting three or two tables away from Bai Qing, not far nor close, but at a distance where they could never hear the conversation.

Soothing music is played in the coffee shop, which is not too loud and does not affect the guests' conversation.

Bai Qing was sitting on a chair, smoking a thin cigarette.

Seeing Li Yuanlang, he waved to him.

I haven't seen her for a while, but Bai Qing is radiant and graceful.

"Sister Bai, you are getting more and more beautiful." Li Yuanlang sat opposite Bai Qing and couldn't help but flatter her.

Bai Qing smiled slightly, "When did you learn to speak glibly? I have nothing to do all day long, all I have to do is take care of myself. Unlike you, you have dark circles under your eyes. You must have not slept last night."

Li Yuanlang sighed, "Can you sleep well? There are so many things pressing on me, and I can't sleep even if I want to."

Bai Qing nodded noncommittally, called the waiter, and ordered a cup of ground coffee for Li Yuanlang.

During this period, Li Yuanlang looked around again and found that not far away from them, Xiaolan and Xiaoqing were sitting opposite each other on the seats by the window, each holding a glass of lemonade. He did not look at them, but always looked out the window vigilantly.

Soon, the fragrant coffee was served, along with a delicious snack.

When the waiter left, Bai Qing put out her cigarette and continued Li Yuanlang's topic: "The Gu family is indeed in big trouble this time. Asakawa Rongmeihui got acquainted with some idle third-generation ancestors through Gu Chuang and got some money from them.

Got a lot of information."

"Asakawa is a country that pays great attention to details. In terms of intelligence, it has reached a terrifying level. In the lives of ordinary citizens, collecting and organizing information has become a spontaneous habit."

"In addition to online information, they also rely heavily on traditional media reports. Even today, the circulation of newspapers is huge."

"Even if you have just experienced a disaster and are struggling, the first thing you do when you get up is to find a newspaper. For example, when you are in a small town, you appear under the neighbor's window and say goodbye to the taxi driver.

, the next moment, everyone in the town will know that you moved here..."

Li Yuanlang, who was adding sugar to his coffee cup, suddenly froze when he heard what Bai Qing said, showing a look of horror.

"Yuen Long, I'm not trying to scare you. Even if it's a sentence they usually don't care about, such as a normal personnel transfer in the military, Asakawa only needs to remember the person's name and take it back to analyze the person's personality, work experience and background.

, we can deduce why we need to transfer him to this place, and even use this to calculate our strategic layout and policy bottom line."

"Huh..." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but let out a long breath and asked worriedly: "So, Gu Chuang is really in trouble this time. Is he suspected of betraying intelligence?"

"How should I put it? Gu Chuang is neither a government official nor a military person. He knows very little, and he didn't do it intentionally. But..." Bai Qing changed the topic, making Li Yuanlang suddenly feel nervous.

.

"But the damage he caused to our country was huge. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Yuanlang leaned back and took out the Furong King. Just as he was about to light it, he saw Bai Qing throw a special thin-stem cigarette to him, "Smoke mine. The nicotine content of this cigarette is small and it will not do much harm to the body."

Although the cigarette was mellow, Li Yuanlang didn't have the time to appreciate the taste, and was preoccupied with thinking about countermeasures.

"Sister Bai, it seems that Gu Chuang and the Gu family will be doomed this time."

Bai Qing picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Yuen Long, families with high-ranking officials have always paid attention to well-matched marriages when choosing the marriage of their children. I used to despise and disdain you, but now that I think about it, there is a reason."

"At least both men and women understand each other, including the details of each other's parents and family. At least there will be no such thing as betraying national interests. Even if you are married to Shui Tingyue, you may not know that you have been secretly reviewed.

For a long time, even if you or your family have the slightest problem, you will not succeed."

"If you look at it, very few children from high-ranking families marry foreigners. Why? I think you can easily understand. You must be on guard against others."

Bai Qing's words awakened Li Yuanlang.

No, he really hadn't heard of the news of so-and-so's child marrying a foreigner.

"Gu Zhengchuan's fault was that he indulged Gu Chuang too much, and even ignored the most basic principle, which led to such a big thing. Suspending him is a light move. If we want to pursue the next step,

His family, including you, will be more or less implicated."

Li Yuanlang was silent. He thought of this matter too simply. He didn't expect that there were so many deep meanings in it.

Bai Qing continued: "If Mr. Gu had been alive, this kind of thing would never have happened. He has a very firm stand in terms of principles and in the face of major issues of right and wrong. He is worth learning from our younger generations."

"There is no medicine for regret in the world. Since it has happened, you have to face it." Li Yuanlang sighed. Listening to Bai Qing's meaning, it seems that this matter is difficult to reverse.

The day when the Gu family will be destroyed is not far away.

"Don't be too pessimistic. Everything is possible. To tell you the truth, they have a dispute on this matter. The good news is that Mr. Gu is highly respected and he died not long ago. He does not look at the face of a monk or the face of the Buddha. For him,

His children are still not capable of exterminating them all. This matter can be slowed down."

When Li Yuanlang heard this, his eyes lit up.

He naturally understood who "they" referred to.

Putting out the cigarette, he folded his arms and sighed, "Sister Bai, I have lived in an ordinary family since I was a child. I have been faced with daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt. To be honest, since I married Tingyue and entered the Gu family, I really haven't been happy at all.

It’s actually troublesome.”

Bai Qing fiddled with the coffee cup leisurely and said sadly: "Who says it's not the case? Just talk about me. When you first met me, you could come and go freely and do whatever you wanted. Now..."

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, with a look of helplessness on her face.

"Sister Bai, you are doing very well now. We can still sit here, sipping coffee and chatting. It's no different from before."
