After Su Lin returned from the Middle East, he locked himself in his room and did not go out for a full week. Obviously, this trip to the Middle East had a great impact on this carefree-looking playboy.
Su Qing originally thought that Su Lin could get out of the shadows on his own, but after receiving the news from Shaanzhou, he was still worried. He rushed back to Xijing from Yanjing and knocked on his door.
Su Lin opened the door, his eyes were distracted, his lips were covered with a messy beard, and his hair was unkempt. He shouted haggardly: "Sister, why are you here?"
Su Qing sighed and walked into the room. Because the air was not circulating, it was full of peculiar smell. She frowned, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and the sunlight poured into the room. Su Lin subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands, having lived in a dark room for a long time.
photophobia.
"How could you become like this!" Su Qing asked helplessly and disappointedly, "What exactly happened in the Middle East?"
When soldiers return from the battlefield, most of them suffer from mental illness, called PTSD - Postwar Traumatic Psychological Syndrome.
Su Lin smiled bitterly and said: "I think people are too tired from life, and I just want to lock myself in a closed space and rest."
Su Qing looked at Su Lin's face for a long time and said, "You have been a soldier, but you are a soldier. I didn't expect you to be so fragile."
Su Qing decided to try the aggressive method.
Su Lin let out a long sigh and said slowly: "I originally thought I was a soldier, but in fact, compared with real soldiers, I am not worth mentioning at all. The bullet hit the guard next to me and hit him in the head.
, I looked at the blood gurgling out from the bullet hole, and suddenly realized that I peed my pants."
Su Qing was slightly startled, her eyes wandered on Su Lin's face for a long time, and said: "You are lying. Isn't this the only thing that makes you decadent?"
Su Lin laughed self-deprecatingly, held his head with both hands, and said painfully: "That's right! I originally thought that when I saw him, I would point a gun at his head, and then ask him why he betrayed his family and his eldest brother back then.
Abandon you. As a result, I found that I have no courage at all. I even became dependent on him, hoping that he would send me back to my country. I am a coward!"
Su Qing understood what Su Lin was thinking. He was not autistic because of the setbacks of his trip to the Middle East, but because he was holding back a bad breath in his heart, and this bad breath was related to himself.
Su Qing noticed that there was disgust in Su Lin's eyes. She didn't know whether she was disgusted with the world or herself. She took a deep breath, lowered her voice and said: "He was very competitive back then, and he must have become stronger now.
"
Su Lin shook his head and whispered: "He has become very peaceful. I even see the shadow of the old man in him, especially when he smiles, it makes people feel unfathomable."
Su Qing asked: "Why are you confused?"
Su Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Because he is a mysterious man."
Su Qing hugged Su Lin's shoulders and sighed softly. She understood why Su Lin was in so much pain. Over the years, Su Lin and Su Mo attributed the death of their boss and the decline of the family to that man. Perhaps Sui Ziqing was
The instigator, but if that man hadn't been so bold and determined to have his own way, the boss wouldn't have fallen into the trap.
After the death of the boss, he disappeared as if he had never appeared before, betraying the entire family. Especially when he found out that Su Qing was pregnant with his child, Su Lin felt even more angry and determined that if he was found, he would be killed.
Give him a good beating.
When they actually met, Su Lin found that he was humble and weak, without any courage at all.
Su Qing stood up and sighed. Su Lin was already over fifty and was crying like a child, which made her feel emotionally complicated. The man finally appeared and had a huge impact on the Su family.
Su Qing stood at the window, looking at the blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the west corner of the courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "Where are those people brought back?"
"They have been arranged to go to Cao Yao and lurk next to Zhicheng. The enemies have already targeted Zhicheng and will be detrimental to him." Su Lin said softly.
Su Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Those enemies are not necessarily here because of him. The current international situation is complicated, and many people are setting their sights on China. During the change of leadership, many forces want to intervene and take a share of China's changes.
Geng. He may have heard some rumors that made him act like this, and then led you out of the country and told you."
Su Lin was a little surprised, raised his head, and whispered: "You mean, Zhicheng will be in danger, but those dangers do not come because of him?"
Su Qing sighed and said: "Why he didn't return to China is not because he has no nostalgia for his homeland, but because he doesn't want to involve us too much and tries to keep the complicated relationship away from the Su family. He has done a good job for so many years.
He fought hard abroad and made many enemies, but no one connected him with the Su family of China."
Su Lin said complicatedly: "Is he so kind?"
Su Qing smiled intriguingly and said lightly: "Why did he leave China without looking back? It was because he lost confidence in China, so he needed to work in a broader space to gain a spark abroad for the Su family. That makes sense.
To put it more bluntly, if one day the Su family really finds it difficult to establish itself in China, then he will provide us with a safe place abroad."
Su Lin whispered: "Has he contacted you?"
Su Qing shook her head and said: "Never, but this is trust. The old man has never investigated his whereabouts. He must have trust in him like me. This may be another foreshadowing of the old man's life. In the Su family
He will not take the initiative to contact us before encountering a major setback, because that will only put our enemies on guard and take advantage of us."
Su Lin sighed and said, "Then why did he take the initiative to find us this time?"
Su Qing's eyes flashed with vigilance, and she said: "There is only one possibility. The danger we encounter this time is more terrifying than imagined. There are big figures from abroad who want to do harm to us and Zhicheng."
Su Lin communicated with Su Qing for a long time, and finally regained his rationality and was no longer so confused. He still had doubts in his heart, "Why do those people outside the country target Zhicheng?"
Su Qing sighed and said: "As the Tang family comes to power, it will inevitably cause a series of shocks to the original power. The power of the Tang family has taken shape, and it is very difficult to directly weaken their power. In their view, the relationship between the Su family and the Tang family
The relationship between our families is very close, and if we can weaken our strength, it will play a key role in attacking the Tang family."
"It's so shameless!" Su Lin said angrily.
Su Qing sighed and smiled lightly: "Any influential power in China has invisible forces outside the country to support it. Of course, we have it now too!"
Su Lin was stunned for a long time, then took a long breath and said: "Sister, my heart is relieved."
Seeing that Su Lin had been successfully persuaded, Su Qing sighed softly. She had not had contact with that man for more than thirty years, but their hearts had been so close, so Su Qing knew what the man was thinking.
As China's economic development has gradually grown to a large scale, the forces that were originally seeking gold overseas are now paying more and more attention to domestic developments. The Tang family's smooth rise to power is closely related to its huge overseas support.
The Su family has always secretly had a force taking root outside the country, and that came from that man's struggle.
Su Qing walked outside the door and asked the nanny to bring some food to Su Lin. Seeing that Su Lin finally regained her energy, she finally felt relieved. Then she made a call with Meng Xishan.
Meng Xishan knew that Su Qing would not look for him easily. Once he looked for him, something big would happen. "Director Su, what's the matter?"
Su Qing sighed and said: "As expected, someone will pose a threat to Zhicheng, so you need to strengthen his protection."
Although Meng Xishan didn't know where Su Qing's news came from, he knew it was definitely not groundless and promised: "I will arrange for the most elite special forces to go to Cao Yao later."
Su Qing thought for a while and reminded: "There is another protective force around him, codenamed Doomsday Arbitration. You should not conflict with it."
Meng Xishan asked in surprise: "Doomsday Arbitration? Isn't this a famous mercenary organization active internationally?"
Su Qing felt that Meng Xishan should not hide this matter. After all, he was the most loyal member of the Su family. He said calmly: "Su Lin met that man in the Middle East. Doomsday Arbitration is a mercenary organization he established."
Meng Xishan was silent for a while, then he realized who the man was. Meng Xishan's expression became serious and he said: "I will call Meng Hu right now and ask him to pay more attention."
Su Qing had a full schedule. After solving Su Lin's problem, he hurried back to Yanjing. Before boarding the plane, he received a call from Li Siyuan. After several years of operation, Li Siyuan has established a firm foothold in the State Council and ranks second among deputy prime ministers.
Three, but no surprise, after the change of office, because of the advantage of age, they will have the opportunity to move up the ranks and challenge the Politburo Standing Committee.
"Prime Minister Siyuan, what's the matter?" Su Qing asked calmly.
"How did you think about what I communicated with you last time?" Li Siyuan said with a smile.
Su Qing sighed. Li Siyuan was concerned about Zhicheng's future many times, which surprised her, "Zhicheng, you are still too young now. You are already a deputy department-level cadre at the age of thirty. I think in a short period of time,
We still need to put some pressure on him to allow him to settle enough."
Li Siyuan did not agree and patiently persuaded: "Director Su, the country's leaders are getting younger now. In more than ten years, the age limit will be relaxed for a time. According to this trend, if Zhicheng does not jump ahead,
I’m afraid I’ll lose a bit.”
Su Qing understood what Li Siyuan meant and smiled: "I'll have a chat with him when I have time. The key depends on what he thinks."
Li Siyuan smiled lightly and said, "Yes, he is a man with ideas."
After hanging up the phone from Li Siyuan, Su Qing stepped into the cabin. It took about one hundred minutes to fly directly from the military airport in Xijing, Shaanxi Province to the military airport in the eastern suburbs of Yanjing.
Su Lin brought back news about him, which made Su Qing really happy, because there had been no news for so many years. He was not dead, and was opening up his own world outside the country. Su Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Even if we never see each other again in this life, as long as I have news about you and know that you are still alive, that is enough.
