Xu Qing had already transferred everyone outside the door according to Mr. Li's instructions. The Blue Light Special Forces Brigade took the Li brothers and sisters to the temporary residence arranged by Li Yuanchao. In order to ensure safety on the road, Tang Guobin and the Wuhun Special Forces team were specially sent to
They escorted them together. Now there should be only Xiaodao and a few handymen left in the Li family compound. It can be said that it has completely restored its old appearance.
Mr. Li pointed to the side room opposite and whispered: "Bring me the military coat on the shelf and accompany me for a walk in the yard."
Xu Qing nodded and quickly walked into the room. When he entered the door, he saw the wooden clothes hanger with an old-fashioned military coat hanging on it. The fabric on it had been washed and faded, but it looked very clean. This kind of
Coats are something unique to an era, and they look good when worn on the body.
Walking closer, he reached out and took off his military coat. It was quite heavy and heavy. Xu Qing habitually scanned the clothes with his clairvoyant eyes. It was filled with fine cotton. When his eyes turned to the collar of the coat,
He found a flat bag sealed with plastic bags and oil paper. No wonder Mr. Li asked him to pick up the clothes. It turned out that there was something hidden inside.
There was a yellowed drawing hidden in the oil paper bag. There was nothing special on it. There were only a few unconnected circles and no text annotations. Xu Qing was too lazy to look at it carefully. Anyway, it could be stored in Mr. Li's clothes.
The things in the mezzanine must have a certain value. If he wanted to say it, he would tell it without asking. If he didn't want to, it would be useless to ask.
Turning back to the wicker chair and putting on the old man's coat, Xu Qing lowered his hands and stood aside. The protagonist now was Mr. Li, so he had better act as a foil.
Mr. Li stood up and walked out of the room with the help of Xu Qing. The moment he went out, a cold wind blew in his face. The old man shivered and reached out to raise his collar, which might keep him warmer.
Some.
After going out, Xu Qing discovered a strange thing. The knife that had never left the old man's side was not standing at the door. This kid was obviously there just now, so why did he disappear so suddenly?
Mr. Li seemed to see the doubt in his eyes and whispered: "Are you looking for the knife?" Xu Qing nodded, remembering that the knife was still standing at the door when he entered for the first time, and moved away outside the door the second time.
When everyone entered the door again, it seemed that the person had disappeared.
Mr. Li smiled lightly and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you wear the mask on your face or not. What is supposed to come will come sooner or later. Xiaodao has been doing his best by my side these years, but it's a pity that he is too purposeful."
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat and he whispered: "What do you mean Xiaodao is..." Before he could say anything, Mr. Li nodded and stopped him from continuing. Xiaodao has been very low-key these years, and it is difficult for outsiders to see him.
He is the undercover agent hiding next to the old man.
The heart of the tree is separated from the bark, and the heart is separated from the belly. This is true, but it is undoubtedly very painful for a person to always be wary of the people closest to him. In fact, Mr. Li knew that the knife was placed by his side deliberately.
An undercover agent, but after so many years, the old man thought that time would make him change, but it seems that he was obviously wrong from now on.
Xu Qing smiled and took Mr. Li for a leisurely stroll in the yard. However, he found that there was not a single person in the entire Li family compound. Even the handymen did not know where they had gone.
The courtyard seemed empty, which made people feel a little lonely.
Mr. Li didn't seem to feel the changes in the yard. He walked to a wintersweet tree in the southeast corner of the yard with his hands on his back. He looked up at the blooming cold fragrant plum trees on the branches. He stopped like this for a long time without leaving. Xu Qing was very surprised.
Standing aside honestly, he knew that the old man was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. He was waiting for the mastermind behind the whole thing to show up. It remains to be seen whether the other party will come or not.
Li Yuanchao has already led troops to arrest the guy pretending to be his elder brother, including his accomplices. As long as he catches the person, it is equivalent to having a bargaining chip. Maybe this will force the mastermind behind to show up, and it will be hard to find him by then.
It will be Li Yuanchao, but it will be Mr. Li who can truly make decisions. This is the same as the battle between soldiers and generals.
The old man asked Xu Qing to transfer all the armed personnel in order to create a Li family compound that was harmless to humans and animals, so that the man behind the scenes who came to negotiate terms would feel the sincerity of sitting down and negotiating. The old man arranged all this.
For the sake of his missing eldest son Li Xingguo, he is doing everything he can to help his son, and will never give up even in the face of adversity.
The wait is long. Mr. Li has been standing in front of the wintersweet tree in a daze for more than half an hour. He has not even moved. He is waiting for the good news from his son Li Yuanchao, or it is not certain that the person behind the scenes will show up directly.
, as Xu Qing said, he is not in a calm mood now, and no one can completely calm down when encountering such a thing.
Man is the spirit of all things, because man is an advanced animal with feelings and thoughts. Since ancient times, no one can truly forget love, because love already exists the moment a person is born. On the surface, Mr. Li is calm.
He was frightened, but he was always worried about his eldest son's safety. He would do everything he could to protect his son's life, even at the risk of putting himself in any danger.
Time is generally described as the fastest passing thing, but Mr. Li doesn't think so. Now he feels that time passes too slowly. It would be nice if it could pass faster. The wintersweet flowers in his pupils seem to have become dots.
Scattered blood was dotted on the branches. After looking at it for a long time, I felt chilled and could not help but shiver.
Xu Qing, who was standing aside, saw this and couldn't help but whisper: "Old man, why don't we go back first? It's cold outside!" In his eyes, Mr. Li was just shivering in the cold wind.
The stubborn old man may be waiting for nothing.
Mr. Li shook his head and said: "The trees full of wintersweet flowers reminded me of some old memories. It was decades ago in the blink of an eye. Alas!" The old man sighed and looked at the empty sky in the distance.
, and his eyes turned red without realizing it.
"There are thousands of piles of blood on the mountain, and the branches are full of red life. Brother Zemin, are you okay when you come?" A hoarse and deep voice came from behind the two of them. It sounded far away but also seemed to be very close, floating.
There is no way to capture the exact location where it came from.
Xu Qing had turned around the moment the voice sounded, and his gaze was like lightning following the sound, but what he saw was an emptiness, not even a human figure. The mysterious guy must be hiding in some corner that is difficult to detect.
, a thought flashed in his mind, and he moved his clairvoyant eyes towards the general direction of the sound.
