Chapter 264 A glance at a moment, a thousand years at a glance
The vortex in the dark night stopped rotating violently, and the storm operation ended under the blast of Li Longtu's water giant sword.
Overnight, Ye Jin's business and the strength of the Japanese people were uprooted in Lianzhou City. These people were like the rat women in the nooks and crannies who like darkness and moisture. They were crushed under the sunlight and the strong wind, and were completely crushed.
eradicate.
Lianzhou City has a sunny day, and the underground becomes clean and spotless.
The small characters who relied on the strength of Ye Jin and Dongying were all panic-stricken, and finally repented when the trial came, but the anger and divine punishment from above also completely burned this group to death.
In just one night, Lianzhou City underwent earth-shaking changes.
But for ordinary people, this kind of news is no different from usual. Everyone should go to work, live their daily lives step by step, and live their lives as usual.
Not many people would care how many people were sent to the "gallows" that night.
Only those who know the truth secretly know that there are no underground forces in Lianzhou City.
Even the boss of the Landing Hotel was sweating profusely. He was afraid that he would also be implicated. He was in constant fear. In the end, he gritted his teeth and canceled several services, leaving only the simplest bathing service.
The service is just a bath.
…
Li Longtu sat at the table, raised his glass and slowly sipped the Moutai he had treasured for many years.
Old Mu was sitting on the other side.
The two of them were leaning over the table, both a little tipsy. They had obviously drank a lot.
The two core characters of Operation Storm both felt more relaxed than ever at this moment.
Li Longtu was okay, because in this operation, he played the role of a collaborator, positioned as a vanguard, and a general who fought bravely to kill the enemy on the front line.
Lao Mu, on the other hand, was the one who strategized and won the battle thousands of miles away and was firmly in charge of the Chinese army.
Li Longtu could fail, but Lao Mu could not.
If there is a problem in any part of the operation and people like Ye Jin slip away, he will take responsibility.
After all, pressure comes from many aspects, including those at the top and others who are secretly spying on him and coveting him.
Fortunately, Li Longtu did a great job.
Inoue Yu, whom Lao Mu was most worried about, has been quietly solved by him.
In fact, as early as a few weeks ago, when Ye Jin went to Japan, Lao Mu and Li Longtu got news from the informant that Inoue Yu wanted to come to Lianzhou City in person.
At first, Lao Mu's first reaction after hearing the news was to keep him out of the strait. An enemy with strength and murderous intentions like Inoue Yu would never let him set foot on the land of China.
But after careful consideration, Li Longtu finally gave Lao Mu advice to use his tactics to lure the enemy deeper!
Instead of blocking and resisting, it is better to make quick cuts and mess around to avoid future troubles.
Lao Mu thought about it all night before reaching a consensus with Li Longtu. He made every effort to ensure that he withstood the pressure and gave Li Longtu this opportunity.
If Li Longtu failed to defeat Inoue Yu or allowed him to escape, then Lao Mu might not be sitting here having fun and drinking, but he might be criticized by someone in charge.
All in all, the action was a success, a complete success.
Li Longtu contributed a lot.
As for the reward, Li Longtu never thought about it. This action was entirely out of his own self and out of the idea of doing something small for Lianzhou City and China. Where did he think about the reward?
But just because he doesn’t want it, doesn’t mean that some people won’t give it!
Even Mr. Gongsun, who was far away in the capital, knew about the operation. When he got the news, he personally called Li Longtu and said "good" three times. At the end, he also said that he would call A Zhou from the north when he had time.
They had a drink together, and at the same time, he truthfully reported Li Longtu's incident to his superiors.
In addition, Lao Mu is also telling the truth.
The last thing is...
Li Longtu’s 100 million loan...
All free!
When he got the news, Li Longtu was really confused.
Because he really didn't want any awards.
It was like when he was discussing the plan with Lao Mu, he never mentioned what benefits he would have if it was done.
Maybe this is an unexpected surprise.
Li Longtu thought for a while, then lay on the wine table, shaking the glass with not much wine in it, and murmured:
"Doing good deeds without asking for reward……"
…
Zheng Xiaoran is leaving.
I felt like I was walking in a hurry, but this was what Li Longtu expected.
On the third day after the rainy night, Zheng Xiaoran returned to Lianzhou City under the farewell of Li Longtu and Chen Mengke.
She sent the two boxes of books to a courier company for shipping. Neither Li Longtu nor Chen Mengke saw the specific address.
The two of them accompanied her to the airport.
Before boarding the plane and going through the security check, Chen Mengke's eyes were a little moist, while Zheng Xiaoran was even more horrified. He cried loudly in front of everyone, attracting many people who were about to leave.
"Xiaoran, when will you come back, you must call me in advance!"
Chen Mengke said with red eyes and dissatisfaction.
What she is dissatisfied about is that Zheng Xiaoran is still unwilling to say where she went.
It was only said that relatives on her mother's side had found a particularly quiet place for her, where a girl with a flamboyant personality like her could study and prepare for exams in peace.
"Sure, can I still contact you? We are best friends!"
Zheng Xiaoran stopped crying loudly and grabbed Chen Mengke's shoulders.
Li Longtu watched on the side and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but now at the airport, he had to suppress his craving if he didn't want to be arrested.
"Hello!"
Suddenly, Zheng Xiaoran called out to Li Longtu.
"Um?"
"Don't you dare bully my Mengke in the future, otherwise I will fly back and blow your head off!"
Zheng Xiaoran waved her little white fist and said viciously.
"In your words?"
Li Longtu rolled his eyes, not softening his attitude at all because of parting.
"You! Meng Ke, look at him! Look at your man, I left immediately, and he still has such virtue!"
"Okay, okay, blame him, blame him!"
Chen Mengke pursed his lips and chuckled.
She recalled how Zheng Xiaoran was wary of Li Longtu when the three of them first met, and said without hesitation that he was a charlatan.
As a result, when she saw Li Longtu's natural skills, she changed her face like a page in a book and became his most loyal customer.
Even now, Zheng Xiaoran still asks Li Longtu for the ointment every month.
Li Longtu prepared ointments for Chen Mengke on a regular basis, and simply left some for Zheng Xiaoran. Their skin was getting better and better, white, tender and rosy.
…
The moment of separation came soon, and under Chen Mengke's extremely reluctant eyes, Zheng Xiaoran left.
Chen Mengke couldn't help but squat down and sob quietly, because she felt that it would be difficult for the two of them to see each other again after Xiaoran left this time.
The moment he stepped through the security gate, Zheng Xiaoran looked back, and his soft eyes fell on Li Longtu's face.
One glance lasts for a moment, one glance lasts for thousands of years.
Li Longtu smiled and waved to her without saying goodbye.
The plane took off, and Zheng Xiaoran looked down from the window. Lianzhou City gradually became smaller and smaller, and was finally covered by clouds.
Just like Li Long's picture in her heart, it was covered by a hazy mist.
Farewell, Li Longtu.
Farewell, my boy.
…
Later, Zheng Xiaoran, who arrived in the capital of Xijiang Province, received his two boxes of express delivery.
In the huge room, she looked at a few photos among the books, smiling bitterly, with tears in her eyes.
Later, she never married and never returned to Lianzhou City.
It wasn't until her death that her family found the photos of her and Li Longtu among her belongings.
The two protagonists in the photo are nothing more than the boy with a pretended dislike and impatience on his face, and the girl with a smile as bright as a flower.
In the end, her family complied with her last wish and scattered half of her cremated ashes in the sea in Lianzhou City and buried the other half on the mountainside of the back mountain in Zhoujia Village, blending them with the soil.
