After hearing Kang Dinghuang's words, Su Tianyu stopped and looked at him with his hands behind his back. Hou Guoyu and others behind him retreated on their own and stood side by side at the door of the banquet hall, giving the two of them space to talk.

Su Tianyu looked at his opponent and found that he could no longer hold any hatred in his heart. This did not mean that he had forgotten the past, but that he had already foreseen the future outcome of his opponent.

But for this ending, Su Tianyu certainly couldn't say he had much sympathy, because this was the path chosen by the other party.

If one could accurately evaluate Gou Liuzi's state of mind at the moment, it would be calm and indifferent.

The two of them were silent, and Su Tianyu asked: "Since you know you failed, why did you come again?"

Kang Dinghuang said calmly: "Political shows must have a process."

Su Tianyu chuckled lightly: "Haha, it seems that you are very pessimistic about the prospects of negotiations in your first district."

When saying this, he deliberately emphasized the words "your district".

When Kang Dinghuang heard this casual and insinuating remark, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, as if he was chatting with an old friend, he whispered what was in his heart: "Actually, to be honest, I admire you very much. Because I never thought that the war between Dragon City and District 1 would end up being...

It ends with your victory. I have always firmly believed that the way out for overseas Chinese is to rely on survival rather than struggle. After all, war will always bring disaster. Things are unpredictable... I didn't dare to think about it, but you dared to

Win... Facts have proved that the path I chose was wrong."

Su Tianyu glanced at him and said meaningfully: "For those of you Chinese who live in the same district and are in high positions, you have a better and wider road to take. Just like the boulevards in New York City

, just like Congress Avenue in Washington, what you see is bright neon, rich and powerful. But for many people living at the bottom of Dragon City, for those who carry oppressive decrees on their shoulders,

For them, they can only choose the dirtiest, most difficult and most painful road and finally walk it through. Because otherwise, there is no way to move forward."

Hearing this, Kang Dinghuang was speechless for a long time. Looking at the rebuilt Dragon City in the distance, he responded with his hands behind his back: "Maybe you are right. Six years... this place has really changed. It is quiet and prosperous."

Su Tianyu looked at him and said word by word: "Everyone who sees the rebuilt Dragon City after the war has the right to sigh with emotion, but you don't. At least in front of us, you don't! Among those who fell in Haiyan Pit

, you didn’t do it in front of the soldiers and their families who are buried in the Martyrs Cemetery. You didn’t do it in front of the tens of millions of Longcheng people who suffered and were displaced because of the war!!”

After saying that, he no longer hesitated and left here.

Kang Dinghuang's lips twitched, looking at his back, but in the end he did not refute this sentence.

Hou Guoyu walked over and passed by Kang Dinghuang. He said expressionlessly: "During the negotiation, I advise you not to wander around... There are many people here who hate you very much."

Kang Dinghuang looked at him blankly and said nothing.

Hou Guoyu turned his head, walked away with big steps, and followed Su Tianyu into the car.

The motorcade slowly left the banquet hall and headed straight for the administration building.

After a while, in the car, Hou Guoyu couldn't help but say: "Young people, after the negotiations are over, our first condition is to let them hand over Kang Dinghuang!"

Su Tianyu stepped in and looked out the window and said softly: "Actually... Kang Dinghuang is a simple person."

Hou Guoyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Su Tianyu continued: "Do you think he is a traitor? Yes, and no."

Hou Guoyu asked: "How to say it?"

Su Tianyu turned around, looked at him and said: "I have been his opponent for more than ten years, and I know him well. Kang Dinghuang made up his mind from the beginning that Longcheng could not win, so his strategy was

Dependence is two completely different political ideas from ours. Politics cannot be evaluated simply by right or wrong. A period of history, where tens of millions of people go, and the final result all depends on one person's judgment of right or wrong.

This is unfair. To put it simply, there was no Kang Dinghuang, but there were also Li Dinghuang and Wang Dinghuang. This period of history will give birth to such people."

Hou Guoyu gritted his teeth and said: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I know that so many of us died in his hands. If you give me a chance, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Su Tianyu paused for a moment, turned to look out the window again, and replied calmly: "Don't worry, someone will solve the problem you mentioned for you."

Gou Liuzi's evaluation of Kang Dinghuang at this moment is very calm. And calmness does not have excessive emotions. He has already seen the latter's ending.

…

Two days later, just as Longcheng and the negotiators from the first district were preparing for the second negotiation, the other party suddenly received a transfer order from the regional council and returned to the first district in a hurry.

On the return flight, Kang Dinghuang was sitting in the cabin, closing his eyes and taking a rest. At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and his secretary leaned over the seat and said in a hurried tone: "The director... announced

, the old president formally submitted his resignation to the regional council today...According to our internal information, it was the regional council that forced him to step down."

When Kang Dinghuang heard this, he was speechless for a long time. There was only one month left before the election, and the district council was so eager to oust the CEO, there should be only one purpose.

After a long silence, he nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand."

The secretary paused for a moment, then asked softly: "Director, after landing, should we go back to the base immediately to see Commander-in-Chief Lin?"

When Kang Dinghuang heard this, he smiled helplessly, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to go to the base, and there is no need to meet Commander-in-Chief Lin in the future."

When the secretary heard this, he didn't understand it for a moment. But no matter how he tried to figure it out, many things had come to an end silently.

That night, when the plane arrived in District 1, Kang Dinghuang did not follow everyone to the unit. Instead, he gave the secretaries around him and the people in his team a long vacation and asked them to go back and rest on their own. He returned to his residence alone and locked himself up.

I stayed at home and never came out again.

…

Three days later, Kang Dinghuang received a notice at home that the Tsing Yi Bureau was about to be abolished, and he was told that he had to hand over work to the Central Bureau of District 1.

After receiving this notice, Kang Dinghuang still did not return to the Tsing Yi Bureau. Instead, he notified the then deputy director and ordered him to supervise the matter. He claimed to be ill and continued to stay at home.

Time passed by, and another month and a half passed. The results of the first district election came out, and the new chief gave a succession speech in the media.

On this day, Kang Dinghuang was cooking noodles and playing video games in his apartment as usual, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong!"

Kang Dinghuang held the handle and shouted outside: "The password is four sixes, come in by yourself."

"Didi dididi——"

There was a sound of pressing the code outside the door, and then the door opened, and two men in suits stepped in. One of the young men was a deputy director of the Tsing Yi Bureau at the time, and he was recruited by the Chinese Corps.

Commander-in-Chief Lin was promoted in recent years.

The young man waved his hand and asked his companion to stay at the door. He walked over, looked at Kang Dinghuang who was attentive, smiled and said with his hands behind his back: "Kang Ju, I always see you playing this game, aren't you tired of it?"

Kang Dinghuang smiled and said: "Haha, there is a level I can't pass."

The young man nodded and bent down to sit on the sofa next to him. He didn't say anything and just watched him continue to play the game.

Kang Dinghuang kept his eyes fixed on the screen and said softly: "Don't worry, hurry up, it will be over soon."

The young man smiled, waved his hand and said, "There's no rush."

Five minutes later, a burst of electronic music suddenly came from the TV, followed by a salute, and a string of large characters jumped out: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the level!"

Kang Dinghuang looked at the big words on the screen and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the young man with a relaxed expression and asked, "Have you been transferred to the Central Bureau?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, our Qingyi Bureau has merged with the other side, and all the procedures have been completed."

Kang Dinghuang slapped his thigh, stood up and said, "Okay, that's good. Let's go then."

When the young man heard this, he stood up slowly, took out an arrest warrant from his pocket with a helpless expression, unfolded it in his hand, and read aloud: "Kang Dinghuang, on behalf of the Internal Audit Department of the Chinese Corps, I now officially inform you that you have been arrested.

Isolated and reviewed.”

Kang Dinghuang didn't seem too surprised and just nodded slowly as a response.

The young man looked at him, stood at attention and saluted, and said with a serious expression: "Director, there is an order from the top and we must do it."

Kang Dinghuang said nothing, patted him on the shoulder, and walked out. The moment he pushed the door open, he saw more than 20 people standing outside. Some looked at him with astonishment, while others saluted him.

There were many people there who he had single-handedly brought out. Kang Dinghuang didn't say anything and silently walked to the car beside him.

The game has been cleared, and life has come to an end.

…

After Kang Dinghuang was under quarantine for nearly a month, the Inspection Department of the General Headquarters charged him with more than 50 criminal charges, including taking advantage of his position to commit crimes, accepting bribes, and misappropriating public funds, and took him to Zhadao Prison.

.

Kang Dinghuang will spend every day in this prison for the rest of his life. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the District 1 Military Court and will never be eligible for parole.

In fact, Kang Dinghuang knew this result very well in his heart. Because the moment Commander Wang died, he collapsed in the backstage of the Chinese Corps Headquarters, and no one supported him from then on.

When Commander-in-Chief Lin came to power, Kang Dinghuang was still able to be reused because the old commander at that time had not yet stepped down. The Chinese Corps needed someone to continue to mediate with Longcheng.

Obviously, Kang Dinghuang is the most suitable candidate.

However, when the new commander-in-chief came to power, he completely rejected the political strategies and military ideas of his predecessor. Someone was destined to take the blame for the mess left by the old commander-in-chief.

The flying birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. Faced with the Tsing Yi Bureau, which was already dirty and was reviled by the people of District 1, and considering the complaints and hatred of the people of District 1 towards the local Chinese leadership, this man who once traveled around the southern region,

Director Kang and General Staff Officer Kang, who worked hard to regain Dragon City in District 1, became the biggest political victims.

After all, the waste of people and money, the chaos in the interior, the failure of Lao Mo's war, and other incidents all need to have a reasonable and weighty outlet.

Tsing Yi Bureau and Kang Dinghuang are naturally the best candidates.

This is why Su Tianyu's eyes showed no hatred or pity when he saw him, only calmness.

This is politics, if one mistake is made, everything will be lost.

After Kang Dinghuang was sentenced to life imprisonment, he lived in prison for sixteen years and finally died of liver cancer on a sunny morning.

In the last days, he was extremely ill, blind, skinny, weighing less than 70 kilograms, and had no one to accompany him.
