"Pei Zhen is dead."

It was early in the morning when he learned the news from Fang Jingxing, Xu Zhiyuan arrived on the ground wearing only a thin long gown, when the cool wind blew towards him, it was like a knife gently scraping against his skin.

He thought he was still awake, even though Fang Jingxing spoke clearly, he asked again: "Who died?"

"Pei Zhen," Fang Jingxing said with a heavy expression, "he went to Fulin District to do medical work for the group of people that Meng Guang placed in an unspecified location, and all of those people have died."

Xu Zhiyuan scrambled to ask too many things, such as why Pei Zhen, an outsider with no faction, went to that kind of place, where is his wife and daughter... I'm afraid that if he left out a little detail, he wouldn't be able to refute this. "Rumor" too.He moved his lips, but all the questions remained silent for a long time, and he only said, "What about Yu Yao's elder brother?"

He knew that what Fang Jingxing told him would not be rumors, and these questions would only make him more sure of the fact that Pei Zhen was dead.

"Only Yu Yan escaped. He was seriously injured, but he met our rescue team..."

Xu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, staring straight at Fang Jingxing, and said, "This concentrated killing was all done by Meng Che?"

Fang Jingxing shook his head and put his arms on the table: "Meng Che's plan to use Yu Yan to attack Xu Zhenping was very successful this time, which shows that his 'knife' has finally healed, and he has not seen significant results. Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge so quickly. In this way, all the camouflage he had worked so hard to do before will be in vain."

Xu Zhiyuan's doubts deepened: "Then who else is going to kill them? Yu Yan's previous enemy?"

"Zhiyuan," Fang Jingxing gently placed the two cups on the table in front of him, and carefully analyzed, "We always thought that this matter was caused by Meng Che and Xu Zhenping, two people whose real positions and superficial disguises are always opposite. It is just a battle. Meng Che is wearing the sheepskin of the fellowship club to deceive our comrades, but in fact he is a poisonous snake of the coalition government. Xu Zhenping has appeared as an important member of the coalition government for many years, although he cannot Let go of this heavy layer of identity, but my heart has always been towards the Fellowship."

Xu Zhiyuan didn't understand why he had to explain the situation to him again, he just said: "Well, I know."

"But have you ever thought about it..." Fang Jingxing put his index finger between the two cups, "Actually, there is a faction that neither party belongs to is acting as a shit-stirring stick."

Time also sharpened Xu Zhiyuan's senses, he guessed along Fang Jingxing's words: "Overseas government?"

Fang Jingxing knocked on the table and said, "Yu Yan said that the assassin's appearance is not Asian."

"But when did they know about it, and when did they get involved?"

"According to Yu Yan, before he fully believed in Meng Che, he actually sent us a confirmation telegram and got a response." Fang Jingxing said, "But the organization didn't receive any news. Let alone give him a response. .”

Xu Zhiyuan frowned.

"We have special lines in every district, so we guess that the telegraph operator who passed the telegram has a problem. If everyone in the villa dies this time, then the pest planted by the mastermind will continue to stay safe and sound. It's a pity that I didn't expect the most important Yu Yan to survive."

Xu Zhiyuan said: "Then have we found this telegraph operator?"

……

"Master, we found it." The adjutant said, "There is indeed something wrong with the recipient of the telegram you mentioned."

After Meng Che learned that the villa was massacred, his face was gloomy all night, and he stayed up all night. The adjutant beside him had followed him for so many years, and knew that Meng Che's expression meant the seriousness of the matter.So he didn't take a break either, and finished all the things that Meng Che had told him before without stopping.

He pushed a resume written on letter paper over the table to Menche, and said, "This is the resume submitted by the telegraph operator when he was working in another place."

The professional quality of the villa assassins is very high. It is impossible for such a small telegraph operator to plot such a thing. Meng Che knew that this was nothing more than a puppet, and the mastermind behind him was the one he wanted to settle. object.

So he didn't even look at the name, and his eyes went directly to the brief introduction and experience below.

"Graduate from Ming University..." Meng Che was like a trapped snake, catching a gap, and the person on the other side of the gap casually exposed his vitals to him.Meng Che grinned and continued to read: "I used to work in Tiansong Bank and have sufficient work experience."

Meng Che neatly folded the paper until it became a small cube, and threw it into the cup of cool tea.He said indifferently: "I haven't seen Mr. Dong for a long time, it seems that he is not only safe...but also learned to bite the master secretly."

Everything that Dong Jianshu worked hard to plan four years ago made a wedding dress for Xu's family, and he became very dissatisfied with Meng Che. Although he didn't say it on the surface, the suspicion quietly took root in his heart, and the buds of hatred grew. Come.While helping Meng Che to trap the hostages like Yu Yan through false telegrams, causing obstacles to Xu Zhenping, he also sent an assassin to catch the turtle in the urn, so that Meng Che's disguise was exposed.So let Meng Che and Xu Zhenping fight the two beasts, he came to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The adjutant said: "It's a pity that Dong Jianshu's morality is still a little shallow, and you have seen it through."

"We were one step too late. No matter how small a wild bee or sparrow is, if you ignore it, you will still be stung. If you don't slap him, he would think his wings are big enough to cover the sky." Meng Che couldn't help but Angry and terrified, he said, "Let's deal with him."

The adjutant understood and said, "Yes."

Meng Che raised his hand and called him back, not knowing what was plotting in his chest, he said, "Wait a minute, he still has a son, right?"

"Well, I just came back from studying abroad, and I'm the same age as Young Master Xu."

"Then let Dong Jianshu live first, and I will meet his son sometime."

……

"Wait a minute, Boss." Xu Zhiyuan interrupted Fang Jingxing with his hand, and said in disbelief, "What's the name of the telegraph operator you said just now to send false news to Yu Yan?"

"Zhou Nan, Shinan's Nan, why..." Fang Jingxing glanced at Ji Ming who graduated from university again, and said, "You don't know each other, do you?"

Xu Zhiyuan took the rewritten introduction and read it again, his knuckles turned white, and said, "It's...a former classmate."

"He joined the club three years ago. It's been a long time. At that time, the staff in his original position were arrested and there was a vacancy. At a time of crisis, he volunteered to take over. Now it seems... I'm afraid it was premeditated for a long time. He is missing now, and it is estimated that Dong Jianshu helped him transfer."

The death of Pei Zhen, the killing at the villa, Yu Yao's words "I believe in my students" and the slander and slander caused by his identity being exposed four years ago, these realities and memories are mixed with Xu Zhiyuan's old fire Stirring up, Xu Zhiyuan almost gritted his teeth, and said, "You stupid white-eyed wolf."

"You have to calm down, we will definitely catch him back." Seeing his reaction, Fang Jingxing guessed that they probably had some grievances in the past. After persuading him for a while, he took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to him, saying, " Don't think about it... Here, Mr. Yu sent you a letter."

Xu Zhiyuan was in a fit of anger, and he became quiet when he heard Yu Yao. He lowered his head and took the envelope.

"If you want to reply to him, you can vote for me." Fang Jingxing murmured, "You two are only away for a few months, but why are you like a newly married couple, not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns. "

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

He didn't answer his words, said goodbye to the boss, and returned home from the winery.

Xu Zhiyuan knew that Meng Che must be in a bad mood, but he wanted to pretend that he didn't know the inside story.Xu Zhiyuan's acting skills are top-notch, and he is best at pretending to be stupid, but he must not look too stupid. At least he must know some important but not critical news, so as to conform to Meng Che's impression of "Xu Zhiyuan has a city but is still shallow" .

So before being summoned by Meng Che, Xu Zhixian prepared his words well. When he should be fluent in the conversation, he would speak clearly and logically. When he should be ignorant, he would act like a teenager who pretended not to understand. He would stay silent when Meng Che questioned him.

Such a performance by Zhang Youchi not only made Meng Che believe in him, Xu Zhiyuan could get a rough idea of ​​Meng Che's vigilance.

After dinner, Xu Zhiyuan returned to his room, with the matter of Pei Zhen lingering in his heart.

He suddenly remembered many things from the past, many people, Sister Yuan, Lin Wan, Fu Shubai... The more he thought about it, the more it seemed that there was a blood stasis stuck in his heart.

With this complicated mood, Xu Zhiyuan opened a heavy book and spread it on the table, sandwiched the letter between the pages, and remained silent for a long time.

He stretched out his hand several times before finally opening the envelope. He only lifted a corner slightly, and a few lines of words came into view.

Yu Yao wrote: "Zhiyuan, I miss you a little bit."

These few lines seemed to burn his eye sockets, Xu Zhiyuan quickly closed the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, and quickly applied a thick layer of glue.

He has seen people who once turned gray due to grief, and he has seen people who have been haggard overnight. As a young man, he doesn't understand why people have such turbulent emotions, which are so intense that they seem to be able to kill a poor life.

It wasn't until just now that his thoughts engulfed his entire body uncontrollably, that he didn't know what heartburn was.

He didn't dare to finish reading, staring at the re-glued envelope in a daze, took a square of thin paper from the drawer in a daze, cut out a few pieces to cover the words "Received by Zhiyuan", and wrote "Zhiyuan received" in Yu Yao's handwriting. "I traced it several times, and finally glued it carefully to his notebook full of cutouts.

He finally decided not to open it anymore, and put the envelope in his notebook.Pretending to finish reading it, he picked up a pen and wrote back a letter to Yu Yao.

It starts with: "I miss you too."

Later, Yu Yao sent at least six letters, and Xu Zhiyuan kept them all. At that time, Xu Zhiyuan just wanted to keep the letter as an idea, and he didn't think of it for many years. The person who opens them again is already his own grandson.
