Shi Jin found that his and Lian Jun's progress bars started to rise, Lian Jun's rising faster, his a little slower. He felt a little flustered, and hurriedly urged Lian Jun to arrange his own retreat as soon as possible.
"No hurry, I will leave after you go to school after the New Year." Lian Jun comforted him, raised his hand and touched his face, "Gua Yi and Gua Er are not confirmed to be safe, and Aunt Lu has not escaped from the situation. I can't leave now."
"Then at least don't stay in City B anymore, go abroad, when you are abroad, you can still pay attention to the situation from a distance, it's too dangerous here." Shi Jin was still worried.
Lian Jun shook his head and said, "I can't move. Once I move, Zhang Zhuoyuan will move. Wait a little longer." Shi
Jin frowned, his emotions a little broken: "This is not okay, that is not okay... Why must you kill so desperately..." He raised his hand and pressed his forehead, anxious and painful.
Lian Jun hugged him distressedly, slowly along his back, looking at the sky covered by dark clouds outside the window, and said: "Because the official does not need a 'helper' like me, my name must not be left in the new history. For them, I am a stain, a hidden danger, and an existence that must be erased. Don't worry, I will be fine." Shi
Jin hugged him tightly, speechless.
...
Lu Shan really went to Lian Jun to negotiate, very loudly. As expected, Lian Jun was not willing to pay attention to her. Lu Shan told Meng Qing and others about this, and acted like "I have tried my best, but the other party refuses to take the initiative, and I can't do anything about it." Meng Qing and others frowned, and finally Qi Yun stepped forward to give a suggestion, asking Lu Shan to find Zhang Zhuoyuan to act as a middleman and contact Lian Jun. Lu Shan looked at him sarcastically and agreed with a sneer.
That night, Lu Shan called Zhang Zhuoyuan, hoping that Zhang Zhuoyuan could help her contact Lian Jun and act as a middleman for the negotiations. She also briefly explained the frequent exchanges of fire between major organizations in the country, saying that this chaos would soon end, which comforted Zhang Zhuoyuan.
Zhang Zhuoyuan pretended to talk to her in an official tone, then turned around and called Lian Jun, asking, "You don't really want to negotiate and make peace with Lu Shan, do you? You should understand that the current situation does not allow you to make peace."
This was just short of telling Lian Jun to go and die with Meng Qing and others. Shi Jin felt like cursing when he heard it.
Lian Jun patted him soothingly. He did not get angry because of Zhang Zhuoyuan's words. He asked calmly: "Most of the strongholds in the country are now occupied by official people. I have revealed my entire family fortune to you. You ask me this now, are you trying to insult me?"
Zhang Zhuoyuan choked and said shamelessly: "But don't you still have a group of secret agents that you haven't told me..."
"You don't need to know those. That is my final trump card to perish together with the Wumen and other organizations. Director Zhang, you don't want the struggle between violent organizations in the country to turn into a protracted war, right? In that case, the domestic economy will definitely suffer heavy losses. Or do you have other plans?" Lian Jun asked slowly, with a friendly tone.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Of course I don't have any plans. I just hope that you can tell me in advance before you do anything, so that I can be mentally prepared."
"Then I'll tell you."
Zhang Zhuoyuan was stunned: "What?"
"The person sent by the alliance of the four major organizations to negotiate with me was not Lu Shan. Lu Shan was just a cannon fodder they pushed out to let me vent my anger. The one who really wanted to negotiate with me was Meng Qing from the Meridian Gate. He has sent someone to pass on the news to me just after Lu Shan told you loudly that she hopes to negotiate with me."
Zhang Zhuoyuan frowned, realizing that something was wrong, and asked, "What do Meng Qing and the others want to do?"
Lian Jun's tone was still calm, and he replied, "I can roughly guess Meng Qing's plan. He may have two plans. One is to simply send Lu Shan out to vent my anger, and then after I calm down, he will make another promise. One is to coax me with good conditions in exchange for my stopping; the other is to tell everyone that Lu Shan came to negotiate with me, and then find an opportunity to kill Lu Shan and put the blame on me, and use the malicious competition clause you issued to force you to suppress me and give them a chance to breathe. Judging from the current situation, I am more inclined to the latter speculation, so Director Zhang, don't focus on me anymore. If Lu Shan is really dead, the final fight will come, so you should organize your personnel well. "
The more Zhang Zhuoyuan listened to his analysis, the more shocked he became. He didn't bother to argue with him anymore. He said he would contact her later and hung up the phone.
Lian Jun also hung up the phone, and Shi Jin immediately came to him with a frown.
"In this way, Aunt Lu can be relieved." Lian Jun looked at him with a slight smile on his face. Shi Jin
put his arms around him and rubbed the back of his head with a stern face.
…
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Shan returned to Province G from hiding. She was going to settle down and then go find Zhang Zhuoyuan to ask him to arrange a meeting between her and Lian Jun. That night, the assassins sent by Meng Qing locked onto Lu Shan's location.
Everything was ready, and Meng Qing called Lian Jun.
Lian Jun directly refused.
"He refused." Meng Qing put down his phone, looked at Qi Yun on the other side of the video call, and said, "Lian Jun is really determined to fight us. He refused all the olive branches that Lu Shan and I have extended. Lu Shan has no choice but to take action."
Qi Yun came back to his senses from his contemplation, and said, "Then do it, arrange the assassins, and don't make trouble for yourself instead of blaming others."
"Don't worry, the people I sent are all good." Meng Qing was very confident and asked, "What are your plans after this wave?"
Qi Yun thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I've said before that no matter what the appearance is, the authorities are definitely on Mie's side in secret. Even if we kill Lu Shan this time and let Mie take the blame, the authorities may not really move Mie. Most likely they will only do some superficial work to deal with us. We don't have much breathing time to buy, so we must make plans early."
Meng Qing frowned and asked, "Is the situation really this bad?"
"No, it will only be worse than what we see now." Qi Yun's face was a little defeated. "Old Meng, be prepared for the golden worm to break out of its shell. Now it's not a question of whether we can defeat Mie, but a question of whether the authorities will miss this opportunity to deal with us. The official attitude is too obvious. We probably can't survive this wave of disaster."
Meng Qing's face changed, and he said, "But didn't you say a few days ago-"
"It was because of Yuan Peng the other day." Qi Yun looked at him and had to speak more bluntly. "Yuan Peng doesn't have much brains. If we don't give him the illusion that we can still fight, he will probably be the first to fight with Mie regardless of anything. We need time now... Anyway, you should try your best to arrange it. The authorities no longer allow large organizations to continue to exist. We can only hide first, and after this storm is over, we can use another shell to make another plan for the future."
Meng Qing was silent, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."
...
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Shan set off from Province G to City B to meet with Zhang Zhuoyuan. That night, she landed in City B and checked into a hotel under the name of Wolf Spider.
In the middle of the night, someone who looked like a murderer appeared in the Wolf Spider's hotel and asked to meet with Lu Shan to discuss the negotiation. The next day, when Zhang Zhuoyuan led people to the hotel where Lu Shan was staying and prepared to have a good talk with Lu Shan, he found that there was a blazing fire and thick smoke. Lu Shan's room had already been engulfed in flames.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was shocked and hurriedly called Lian Jun.
"It should be Meng Qing who did it, so you should do it too." Lian Jun said on the other end of the phone, as if he had expected this outcome. "Director Zhang, you can do whatever you want."
Zhang Zhuoyuan looked at the hotel surrounded by fire trucks in front of him, and suddenly felt an unreal feeling that his dream was about to come true. He tightened his hand holding the phone and said, "Lian Jun, thank you."
...
Lu Shan died, and Wolf Spider was leaderless, and the internal situation was in chaos. Yuan Peng took the opportunity to forcefully enter Province G and Formosa with the help of Meng Qing and Qi Yun, and swallowed up Wolf Spider's business as an ally.
On the other hand, after Lu Shan's death, Meng Qing and Qi Yun immediately reported Mie to Zhang Zhuoyuan on the grounds that Mie maliciously competed with Lu Shan and killed her, and asked the government to punish Mie. Zhang Zhuoyuan was furious on the surface, and pretended to investigate the matter thoroughly and severely punish Mie. However, he secretly mobilized the official army disguised as members of Mie's various branches, and prepared to wipe out Wumen, Qianye, and Sheya under the banner of Mie. In the
dark, no one knew, Meng Qing and Qi Yun were secretly dividing and counting their own forces without Yuan Peng's knowledge, and urgently building a retreat.
The situation was on the verge of breaking out, and then the New Year ended.
...
After taking the medicine for this month, Lian Jun said to Uncle Long who was packing the medicine box, "Let's go."
Uncle Long paused in his packing and frowned at him.
"You go with Doctor Li to Rongcheng. There will be someone there to pick you up and send you abroad." Lian Jun suppressed the nausea and vomiting feeling after taking the medicine, stood up and walked behind the desk, took out a file bag, and handed it to Uncle Long, "Here, your new identity, there are three choices in total, choose one yourself. Uncle Long, you have worked hard for so many years."
Uncle Long stood up, looked at the file bag, and did not take it.
"Let's go." Lian Jun passed the file bag to him again and called out in a louder voice, "Uncle Long."
Uncle Long said with a stern face, "The monthly medicine..."
"Don't worry, it's just an injection in the arm. I can do it myself, and there are not many injections left."
Uncle Long looked at Shi Jin who was sitting silently with his head down, tightened his hands, took the file bag, bent down to pick up the medicine box, strode to the door and opened it, stepped out and stopped, and said without looking back, "Don't let me send the young off." After that, he closed the study door.
Li Jiuzheng was waiting at the door of the small building with a suitcase. When he saw Uncle Long coming out, he quickly bent down to pick up the suitcase, then stepped back two steps and looked up at the window of the study.
Shi Jin happened to walk to the window, and seeing this, he forced a smile and waved to Li Jiuzheng.
Li Jiuzheng also waved to him.
Uncle Long stopped after walking out of the small building, turned his head to look over here, and then quickly retracted his gaze. Without saying anything or doing anything, he strode out before Li Jiuzheng. Li Jiuzheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed, looking back at the window as he walked, looking very reluctant.
The figures of the two disappeared at the end of the road, and Shi Jin put down his raised hand, his eyes were dazed, and there was no spirit at all.
They all left, leaving only him and Lian Jun.
Lian Jun hugged him from behind, kissed his ear, and said, "You will be back in a few days. I have arranged for someone else to pick you up." Shi Jin
held his hand and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Soon," Lian Jun replied, resting his chin on his shoulder, "when everyone is safe."
...
Before the peak period of returning to school for major universities, firepower conflicts between major organizations broke out intensively. The branches of the Destroyer across the country became restless without warning, and like a long-hungry bloodthirsty beast, they rushed towards the bases of other major organizations. Snake Fang immediately counterattacked, and Wumen and Qianye followed.
The situation in each province was in constant turmoil, news of violent organizations fighting each other frequently appeared, people in the country were in panic, and ordinary people's resentment towards violent organizations gradually accumulated and gradually reached its peak, and the voices for official intervention became louder and louder.
Then one day, all the secret lines buried by Lian Jun in the provinces where the headquarters of major organizations were located suddenly launched, and in a way of life for life, most of the middle and high-level personnel of Wumen, Qianye, and Sheya were assassinated overnight.
The counterattack of Sheya, Wumen, and Qianye immediately weakened, and the signs of defeat began to appear.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was shocked. Only then did he know what the secret line of Lian Jun was hiding - Lian Jun actually had such a team dedicated to assassination in his hands, and Lian Jun had already planted spikes in the major organizations and figured out their personnel distribution!
When did it all start? These secret lines, as well as Lian Jun's investigation of the middle and high-level personnel of the major organizations, when did all this start? How long has the assassination plan been in place?
Meng Qing and Qi Yun were also shocked. The retreat they carefully built was about to be completed. In a week at most, they could push Sheya out as cannon fodder, and then secretly take the elite of Wumen and Qianye away. As a result, because of this wave of assassinations, their plan collapsed directly.
"Impossible!" Meng Qing lost control and yelled, "I just contacted them yesterday and confirmed their safety. How could it be today--No, impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After being stunned, Qi Yun suddenly relaxed his body and leaned back in the chair, and said hoarsely: "Run away."
Meng Qing's expression was distorted: "What did you say?"
"Give up everything and run away, there is no way back."
Meng Qing didn't understand, and was unwilling to accept it: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can there be no way back? Even if we can't take away the elite, as long as we still have those small organizations that we secretly cultivate and the assets transferred in advance, we can start all over again!"
"I can't come." Qi Yun raised his hand and pressed his forehead, his tone was dull and without anger, "Meng Qing, stop being so stupid, don't you understand, Zhang Zhuoyuan and Lian Jun want to move not only our big organizations, but also the entire underworld... You have also doubted that the members of the domestic extermination branch are too well-trained when they act, more like an official team, and there are those public opinions... Listen to the voices of the people outside There is no future. This grey world we live in has been completely destroyed by Lian Jun. The Great Purge is coming."
Meng Qing didn't want to listen to what Qi Yun said. Yuan Peng happened to call him. He simply hung up Qi Yun, put his hand on the table, and said with a twisted expression: "What do you mean there is no way out? Ridiculous... As long as I, Meng Qing, am still here! There are ways out everywhere!"
...
Wumen and Sheya began to fight back frantically, like the last struggle before death, while Qianye slowly calmed down, looking like he was waiting for the end with a desperate look.
Everything was going according to plan, but Zhang Zhuoyuan suddenly didn't dare to contact Lian Jun anymore, but it was useless for him to hide. Lian Jun took the initiative to contact him with an unfamiliar number one morning.
"Gua Yi, Gua Er, Gua Qi, Gua Eleven, a total of four people, died in the assassination of the middle and high-level leaders of Wumen, Qianye, Sheya, and Wolf Spider." Lian Jun came straight to the point, and his calm voice made Zhang Zhuoyuan shudder, "I gave everything I had, and in the end I only had one request, don't move Shi Jin." After that, he hung up the phone.
Zhang Zhuoyuan slowly put down his phone for a long time, then suddenly took a deep breath and stood up straight, calling his assistant and instructing him: "Prepare to issue the document. Mie, Wumen, Qianye, Snake Fang, and Wolf Spider, for their own selfish interests, have disregarded the international and domestic situation and the safety of the people, causing large-scale firepower conflicts, causing inestimable economic losses, and seriously violating the binding treaty of legal violent organizations. From today on, all of them will be removed from the list and enter the elimination process. Issue an internal wanted order and do everything possible to capture the leaders of the above organizations. If they resist... shoot them on the spot."
The assistant was shocked by the amount of information in his words and didn't reply for a long time.
"Go now!" Zhang Zhuoyuan suddenly exploded and turned his head to yell at him.
The assistant was frightened and finally came to his senses. He responded quickly, turned around and stumbled out of the office.
After he left, Zhang Zhuoyuan slumped down and sat on the office chair. After a long while, he took out his mobile phone and called Liu Zhenjun, saying, "Prepare to finish up, send someone to XX holiday villa... arrest Lian Jun."
...
The day before Shi Jin returned to school, Lian Jun imitated Shi Jin and built a fire at the door of the small building, then took down the small safe in the study, took out the information inside and started burning it. Shi Jin brought out a small stool and sat by the fire, watching Lian Jun burn the things in the safe while sending text messages to Fei Yujing and Xiang Aoting.
One by one, the contents of the safe were quickly burned.
Lian Jun threw the safe aside, took out several tablets and mobile phones, formatted the contents one by one, then took a hammer, smashed them, took out the batteries, and threw the other parts into the fire. Shi
Jin was so upset that he muttered, "What a waste."
"Well, it's not good to waste." Lian Jun smiled at him, then took out his own phone. Shi
Jin paused in his texting and looked up at him.
"No traces can be left." Lian Jun said this, turned on the screen of his phone, looked at the photo of himself and Shi Jin on the desktop, paused for a long time, and chose to restore the phone to factory settings, then smashed it, took out the batteries and threw it into the fire.
Buzz.
A text message came in, and Shi Jin looked down at his phone.
Lian Jun stood up and came to his side. Shi
Jin froze, looked up at him, raised his mobile phone and asked, "This, do you want to smash it too?"
"Everything must be cleaned up. This is also for your own good." Lian Jun touched his head, bent down and touched his forehead with his, and said softly, "If you don't want to, I can help you."
"No need." Shi Jin lowered his eyes and stroked the back of the phone. "Wait a minute, I'll tell my brothers, so that they won't worry if they can't contact me."
Lian Jun responded with an OK and stepped back.
Shi Jin sent a group text message to his brothers to notify them to change their contact information, then returned to his phone, opened the album, clicked on the photo of himself and Lian Jun, looked at them one by one, and then took out the photos of Gua Yi and others and looked through them carefully. Finally, he suppressed his reluctance and chose to delete all the photos, restored the phone to factory settings, and handed it to Lian Jun.
Lian Jun took it, squatted back to the fire, and picked up the hammer.
Bang, bang, bang.
The phone turned into pieces and was also thrown into the flames. Shi Jin
looked at the flames, tightened his empty palms, and asked, "Today or tomorrow?"
Lian Jun looked at him across the fire and replied, "Tomorrow morning, I want to watch the sunrise alone." Shi
Jin's heart trembled, and he understood what he meant.
Lian Jun insisted on making dinner by himself that day. In fact, he didn't know how to cook at all. The dishes he made by following the tutorials on the Internet were either too salty or too burnt. He was embarrassed and wanted to throw the dishes away, but Shi Jin insisted on serving them to the table.
The two of them sat down. Shi Jin picked up a piece of slightly burnt scrambled egg and put it into his mouth. He tasted it carefully and said, "Well... there is a lot of room for improvement."
Lian Jun smiled, poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, saying, "I thought you would flatter me against your conscience."
"I'm not such a dishonest person." Shi Jin took a sip of water, lowered his eyes and poked the rice in the bowl, and said, "Next time... I have to see your progress." So there must be a next time.
Lian Jun tightened his fingers, stood up and leaned over to kiss his forehead, suppressing his reluctance in his heart.
After dinner, the two went to the mountain spring pool to take a bath, and then entangled with each other tacitly.
...
When the sky was turning pale, Shi Jin found that Lian Jun had gotten up. He did not move, still closed his eyes, pretending to be still asleep.
Half an hour later, Lian Jun finished washing up, came to the bed, bent down and kissed his forehead, and whispered: "I'm going hiking." Shi Jin
still closed his eyes and did not move.
"I have packed your luggage for the return trip to school. The person who comes to pick you up will arrive around nine o'clock. He will bring you breakfast, and you can sleep a little longer." Shi
Jin still did not move.
"After reaching the top of the mountain, I will call Zhang Zhuoyuan and tell him about their deaths. About half an hour later, he or Liu Zhenjun will bring people here to arrest me. Don't be afraid, and don't run. The people who come to pick you up will protect your safety and make you the hero with the greatest contribution in this crackdown." Shi Jin
couldn't help but tighten his hands in the quilt.
"I love you."
Footsteps sounded, and then the sound of the door opening and closing.
Shi Jin opened his eyes and the room was empty. He sat up and looked at the door.
"Jinjin, go and say goodbye to your baby." Xiao Si couldn't help but speak.
"It's not like he won't come back, so why say goodbye?" Shi Jin said expressionlessly, lying back on the bed and wrapping himself tightly in the quilt, "Don't bother me, I want to have a good sleep."
