Qin Pass.
This is a special prison.
All the serious criminals who endanger national security in China are detained there, and no visitors are allowed.
Everyone who's incarcerated here lives in a cubicle.
Li Wenzhong sat cross-legged on the ground, gesturing with his fingers.
Here, even the food is delivered directly through the small door.
, no one will talk to them.
There are no windows.
The only light came from the small hole in the door.
He had to do something to pass the time, or he would go crazy like everyone else.
Suddenly, the heavy iron door was opened.
A soldier walked in.
Li Wenzhong looked up.
"Mr. Li, long time no see." The man sat down on his bed, with a straight posture and upright body.
Li Wenzhong has always respected and disliked such people.
Soldiers defend their country, and he is the beneficiary. This is what he has been taught for a long time.
But at the same time, he knew that what he did made him an enemy of such people.
He remained seated on the ground, not moving. "It's been quite a while. But I don't have much of a sense of time here, so I don't know how much time has passed."
He hadn't spoken for a long time and his voice was a little hoarse.
But he was very happy.
Finally, someone could talk to him.
The visitor lowered his eyes, glanced at his feet, and said with a smile, "Not necessarily?"
Li Wenzhong smiled:
"You found me. There's nothing else to do. There's nothing here, so I can only use this method to keep track of time. But, it won't last much longer."
"So how long have you been keeping track of time?"
"One year, three days, three hours, 28 minutes, and six seconds. Now it's seven, eight seconds..."
"It seems that you remember most of the time you are awake."
"Yeah." Li Wenzhong was silent for a moment, "It's like calculating how long I can live."
"Haha! Mr. Li is really humorous."
Li Wenzhong remained silent and said nothing.
Although he wanted to talk to someone, he couldn't respond to this sentence.
He wasn't joking.
He knew very well that after a while, he might not be able to remember how long he had been counting.
At that time, he would either go crazy or die.
"Mr. Li, have you ever thought about going out?"
The man said again.
Li Wenzhong shook his head: "I want to go out, but I know I can't."
"You still don't want to tell me?"
"Yang Lang, you are second only to one person in Beijing and above ten thousand people. You can easily control the lives of many people."
"Other people's lives are not meant to be controlled! I'm a soldier, and I only know how to defend my country!"
"Hahaha!" Li Wenzhong's laughter was filled with mockery. "Humanity, human nature! Hahahaha!"
There was sarcasm and ridicule in his laughter.
Yang Lang was speechless.
After a long moment, he sighed and said, "Think about it again."
Yang Lang got up and left.
Li Wenzhong closed his eyes and leaned on the bed, with a tear streak running down the corner of his eye.
He has no regrets about taking this path.
He only hopes that his children can live a clean life.
After leaving Qinguan, Yang Lang got into his car, lit a cigarette, but held it between his fingers, letting it burn out.
The ashes were blown away by the wind.
He understood what Li Wenzhong meant.
There are tens of millions of people in this world. He can only stick to his original intention, but he cannot judge human nature.
Li Wenzhong didn't say anything, which means the person behind him is more powerful.
It also means that besides Li Jiadi, there are people he cares about more.
"Let's go. To the base."
Yang Lang came back to his senses, put out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the ashtray.

When Xin Guoguo saw Gu Nianbei again, it was National Day.
Gu Nianbei was ordered to take her to the square to participate in the military parade.
Gu Nianbei, dressed in military uniform, stood tall and straight, as handsome and resolute as he was when they met again five years later.
While driving, he explained softly:
"Your identity hasn't been exposed yet, so the person you're protecting can't appear in public. That's why the higher-ups sent me here. From now on, I'll be responsible for your safety."
Xin Guoguo's eyes lit up: "Live in my house?"
Being looked at by her burning gaze, Gu Nianbei felt his face getting hot.
Is it so straightforward?
Although close protection is indeed necessary, after she said that, I felt that this sentence had a bit of an ambiguous meaning.
He replied with a mixture of amusement and resignation: "Yes. Do you have a sofa at home?"
Xin Guoguo immediately shook her head: "No!"
She's selling it now!
Gu Nianbei: ...
With her like this, how could he not guess her little thoughts?
"Don't make trouble, wait until I officially confess my feelings to you."
This girl is too enthusiastic, he can hardly stand it!
If this continues, he might not be able to hold on any longer!
Xin Guoguo didn't listen: "Then confess now!"
"Now?" Gu Nianbei was dumbfounded.
"right!"
Gu Nianbei: ...
"Guoguo, I want to make a formal confession to you, I..."
"Just tell me if you want to do it or not! If you don't, I'll do it!"
Gu Nianbei fell silent again.
Soon, he turned the steering wheel, turned the car into an alley, and parked it in a roadside parking space.
Xin Guoguo's eyes lit up, she grabbed the seat belt with both hands and stared at him without blinking.
Gu Nianbei originally wanted to organize his words, but now he could only turn around and look at her.
Their eyes met.
The little girl grinned, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes.
Gu Nianbei suddenly felt that there was no better time to confess his feelings than now.
