Bulwark of Light

Chapter 215 Coward

Needle drop can be heard quietly in the ward.

It was as if time had stood still.

The long leaves in the vase by the window stopped shaking, and the non-flickering white light fell on the faces of the two figures, one standing and one lying down, and the two looked at each other silently, they were clearly father and son, but they looked strange like passers-by.

"I'm here... to see you."

Zhao Qi raised his hands at a loss, and then lowered them. He came empty-handed, because he knew... that his father didn't lack anything.

"sit down."

Just after finishing the communication with the Central Continent Council, Zhao Xilai's thoughts were in a mess. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to signal his son to find a place to sit down. This ward is very big, but Zhao Qi sat by the bed.

In fact, he didn't bring nothing...

He wears a necklace.

The necklace was on the inside of his clothes, and he could take it out with his hand. Zhao Qi's fingers began to tremble. As long as he got close to his father... he couldn't help feeling "awe" and "fear" in his heart .

"You can come to see me... I am very pleased."

The old man looked at his son meaningfully, but there was not much relief in his tone.

Zhao Qi forced a smile with difficulty.

He wanted to say something, but countless thoughts were blocked in his mind for a moment. Already standing at the highest point of Dadu, he ran desperately, hoping to get the slightest approval.

But it's a pity.

That cold, lofty figure was not like his father, but a towering mountain. No matter how hard he tried, that distant and ethereal man would not reach out to him.

approval?Approved?Encourage?

His childhood was nothing but loneliness and failure.

A voice sounded slowly, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shattering Zhao Qi's chaotic thoughts.

"The thing about the Freedom Auditorium...was it you who did it?"

Zhao Qi's pupils shrank, and he turned around clumsily, looking at his father blankly.

The old man said softly: "Lu Nanzhi's spirit was exiled... If you want to do this in the auditorium shrouded in [Yanmeng], you need to release the permission of the spirit link. As far as I know, you are the only one who can freely man of action."

Cold sweat appeared on Zhao Qi's forehead.

His smile was a little stiff, "Father... what are you talking about?"

"About a year ago, a mysterious person from the old town contacted you using an anonymous means of communication. With the help of that mysterious person, you began to cooperate with the South Bay faction and successfully concluded several deals Transactions... In Huazhi's board of directors, some people start to look at you with admiration." Zhao Xilai lowered his eyebrows slightly, "I have paid attention to these few businesses, and I have to say that what you have done is amazing. Ye Ningqiu, who has never given up an inch , willing to bow their heads in the negotiation and sacrifice most of their interests in order to seek cooperation with Huazhi. These transactions shocked the entire board of directors... At that time, Xiao Cui asked me to investigate the identity of that 'mysterious person'. "

"But I didn't do that."

"It's not because I only look at benefits...but because you are my son." Zhao Xilai said calmly, "No one knows you better than me. You have never been a hero, let alone do desperate things. You can't control the wind and waves, and you can't cause a big disaster, if there are no accidents... in this life, you will probably be a coward."

This sentence is unspeakably true, and even more cruel.

The smile on Zhao Qi's face disappeared little by little.

He looked at his father and couldn't figure out what kind of person... would say such words to his own flesh and blood.

coward……

coward……

And who is willing to be a coward?
"Last month, you hid alone, but you were actually injured." Zhao Xilai said lightly: "I dare not borrow healing sealed items, because I am afraid that I will find out... that my teeth have been knocked out, and I have to pay for it." Swallow it in your stomach, isn't this a coward and what is it?"

Zhao Qi was startled.

"Don't dare to say anything... because you are afraid that more serious things will be revealed." The old man's words were like a knife, scratching Zhao Qi's heart, "There is no revenge, it's just because you have no evidence, and you were beaten in the old city. There is no [Sky Eye] on the side, if you are unlucky, you will be taught a lesson, and if you can't find any evidence, you can only let it go."

The man sitting by the bed was obviously a young man, but he was extremely useless. He pulled his shoulders, lowered his eyes, and his voice became lower and lower: "Is it... Liu Yi said?"

The old man calmly said: "Is there any need for her to talk about this kind of thing? In Dadu, how can there be anything that can't be hidden from me."

"The person who silently supported you is 'Xiao'. In those few businesses, Ye Ningqiu's regress was not a miracle, but because she was also Xiao Xiao's puppet." Zhao Xilai's tone was not disappointed, as always "So... all of this can be explained. The ultimate goal of the Changjiu Foundation is to dilute the power system in the metropolitan area, starting from the side of the congressmen, disintegrating two huge groups bit by bit, and manipulating one People are not enough, even if that one person is important."

"Xiao hopes that you can take over Huaqi."

Zhao Xilai looked at his son, "Helping you, this is... the simplest and rudest way."

The reason why she doesn't contact Lu Nanzhi is because the danger of contacting Lu Nanzhi is too high. Madam hates the Changjiu Foundation. Once the bewitching fails, then Xiao will bear a devastating blow.

The same... Among the Huaqi faction, who else is more suitable for contact than Zhao Qi?

No more.

However, Xiao Xiao's biggest miscalculation was that he overestimated Zhao Qi's ambition and also overestimated Zhao Qi's courage.

"That night, the night you were beaten... I went to the old town to find Xiao." Zhao Xilai's words had no meaning of questioning or rhetorical questioning. Little by little trembling out: "He gave you a spiritual sealed item...and it's not the first time, Nan Zhi suffered from 'insomnia' for a while before. The crow's fury was also related to that incident. He is looking for the murderer, you should be thankful that there is no evidence left."

"Otherwise...he will really kill you."

at this moment.

Zhao Qi felt that something cracked in his heart.

He looked at his father... only felt that this was not only a mountain that had been in his heart for many years, but also a cage. His father watched everything that happened in Dadu, and everything he did could not be hidden from his sight , Those little tricks, careful thinking, it's just that he doesn't want to break through.

"Yes……"

Zhao Qi stood up slowly, he smiled, and said frankly: "I did what happened in the Freedom Auditorium."

After saying this sentence, the heavy stone in my heart was instantly let go.

As relieved.

"You want to kill Lu Nanzhi and inherit the banner." The old man looked at his son, still expressionless.

"Do not……"

Zhao Qi felt that his whole body became lighter, and his fingers seemed to no longer tremble. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out the string of necklaces on the inside of the skirt.

"I'm using this sealed item..."

Zhao Qi looked at the necklace obsessively, and murmured: "You only need to wear it for a while, and your consciousness will be forever... exiled."

"Exile the spirit, how can it be considered...killing?"
