Chapter 1259 Betrayal (First update, please subscribe)
As a young city, Nanhua does not have many historical sites, but it still has its own unique features. For example, there are a large number of modern Chinese-style buildings here, which are magnificent and luxurious, combining the essence of Eastern and Western architecture. No matter the quality, precision and beauty, they are not inferior to the European-style buildings of the same period.
This kind of architecture that combines modern reinforced concrete structure with the aesthetic features of oriental architecture is collectively called "Xingxia-style architecture". As the origin of this architectural style, the large number of "Xingxia-style architecture" here always attracts many tourists. However, what attracts tourists more is the jacaranda in bloom, which covers the city with such gorgeous colors. It not only turns the entire city purple, but the purple sea of flowers makes the city dreamlike, giving everyone who comes here for the first time an illusion of being in a fantasy.
The sea of blue and purple flowers, the exotic buildings, everything seemed like a dream, the fragrant coffee. Just as Lawrence was enjoying all this, suddenly, a tall man walked up to him.
"Hello, Mr. Lawrence."
The person who came was none other than Feng Jinglun. He looked at Lawrence with a smile. Finally... his long-term efforts paid off.
Now, he finally caught the other party's braid.
It's not a small braid, but a powerful weapon.
With this little trick, you don't have to worry about the other party not surrendering.
"Can I sit down?"
Without waiting for Lawrence to refuse, Feng Jinglun sat in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Lawrence looked at the guy in front of him - he looked like a typical Ming Dynasty man, with a healthy wheat-colored complexion, a tall build similar to that of a European, and a confident smile on his face, which was a characteristic that other Asians did not have.
When he smiled, you could see his neat and white teeth - this was also a typical characteristic of the Ming people, because all Ming people knew how to brush their teeth. In this respect, they were much healthier than their European compatriots. Most ordinary Europeans had a mouth full of yellow teeth, and they were black and smelly.
Generally speaking, all the people in the Ming Dynasty looked very healthy. Of course, this health was due to the abundant life they enjoyed.
It is precisely this affluent life that makes them in stark contrast to their Chinese compatriots.
"Mr. Lawrence, we have been keeping an eye on you over the past few years!"
Feng Jinglun's directness made Lawrence's heart tighten. He looked around and there seemed to be no sign of carrying out an arrest.
What does this guy want to do?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Lawrence was not worried about his safety.
"You should know that I am a diplomat and am protected by international public law."
Lawrence replied somewhat conceitedly. He was a diplomat and did not need to worry about being arrested by the other party. Even if he was arrested, he would have to be released.
Facing his answer, Feng Jinglun just smiled slightly and then spoke softly.
"Yes, you are a diplomat, but what about Dahom? Oh, by the way, he has another name - Sheikh Ahmed, he... doesn't seem to be a diplomat!"
Hearing this, Lawrence's heart was in turmoil, but he still spoke calmly.
"He's just a footman."
Feng Jinglun said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Is it really just a manservant?"
When he mentioned "butler", he deliberately lengthened the tone. At the same time, he took out an envelope and gently placed it in front of Lawrence.
"Mr. Lawrence, I think you must be very interested in this."
What's in here?
Lawrence thought to himself, although he hesitated for a moment, he still took the envelope. After opening the envelope and seeing the photo inside, he was stunned. In an instant, he who seemed calm and composed was shrouded in boundless panic and anxiety.
“You, you guys…”
Lawrence's tone became a little stammering, and his eyes revealed boundless panic.
"Mr. Lawrence, how was the filming? Is it clear?"
Feng Jinglun still had a smile on his face.
"You should know that what happened between you and Dahom is against the law both in Ming Dynasty and in Britain. You are a diplomat, so we certainly won't arrest you, but what about Dahom? He will be arrested, and then what will be waiting for him?"
The most threatening words are said in the calmest terms, but what is more important?
He knew that the other party had no choice at all!
After all, in this world, there will be absolutely no tolerance for what happened between them. Not only will they be disgraced, but they will also be subject to legal sanctions.
Of course, for Lawrence, the most fatal thing waiting for him is not legal sanctions, but the humiliation of himself and his family.
To threaten someone... the most important thing is to have something on them that they can't get away from.
"By the way, I have not only your photos here, but also the movies you starred in. I think there should be a lot of people in London who like quirky movies. Well, this movie should be a big hit. Who knows?"
Feng Jinglun was still smiling.
“You, you guys…”
Lawrence even thought about death, but the next moment, he realized that even if he committed suicide, the other party would not let him go, and would still throw these photos out, and then bring shame to him and his family!
They will even be there at that time
"What do you want?"
Lawrence took a deep breath and stared at the other person and asked.
There are many different reasons why people betray their country: money, sex, resentment, ideological differences, not being promoted, hating their boss... and of course, being ashamed of their weird behavior, etc. For Lawrence, he never thought that he would betray Britain one day.
And now?
The so-called "loyalty" is almost insignificant in the face of "love", and of course this also led to his disillusionment - the disillusionment about loyalty.
When he said this, the spiritual fortress that Lawrence had painstakingly built over decades was destroyed.
"You know, Mr. Lawrence,"
Feng Jinglun had a smile on his face. In this game, he didn't need to say what he wanted, but more about what the other party could provide.
Lawrence nodded, as if he understood. In fact, he didn't understand. He didn't even understand how these guys took the photos or made the movie.
But none of this matters now. What matters is that he has to... make a choice.
"I have established an intelligence network among you!"
