C1604 Face-to-face with Reality

When Qiu Tong saw me in a daze, she slowed down and said, "Thank you for your concern towards me, but I hope you will take care of Hai Zhu and focus your energy on your marriage and family. My problem, my path, I will do it myself, I will walk by myself, I know what to do and how to walk.

Between us, what should have been has passed, what should have been faced with has to be dealt with with with with responsibility and courage, all the luck and delay is futile, reality is reality, we have to face reality. "In the future, we can be good colleagues and good friends, but that's all …"

As I said this, I could clearly see that Qiu Tong's eyes were a little moist, and mine couldn't help but get wet.

I knew Qiu Tong was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and I knew how she felt when she said it.

Blessings and wishes, instinct and nature, pain and struggle, confusion and bewilderment, helplessness and helplessness, desolation and misery.

I froze for a moment. I didn't want to stay any longer to make her feel worse. I sighed and silently left her office.

When it was almost time to get off work, I called Sun Dongkai and soon got through.

"Secretary Sun, did you rest well?" Are there any other plans for the evening? " "No," I said.

"Hur hur, Yi." Sun Dongkai seemed to be very satisfied with the way I took the initiative to call him: "I woke up a long time ago and only rested for a little bit. I'm working at the Ministry and will be attending a restaurant in the Ministry tonight. You're fine now, get off work."

"Alright then." I hung up and sat in my chair, staring up at the ceiling.

Without realizing it, the sky had darkened and the corridor outside had quieted down. Everyone had gotten off work.

I sat alone in the dark, always sitting alone.

At this moment, my mind seemed to stop thinking. I let myself be blank and numb.

After an unknown period of time, my phone suddenly rang. The phone rang shrilly in the dark.

I touched my cell phone. It was Faang Aiguo.

"Brother Yi, she's here." Faang Aiguo said in a low voice.

"Who's here?" I didn't know what to say.

"Zhang Mei." Faang Aiguo said, "Lin Yaru personally escorted them all the way here. On the road. We just met them at the highway exit and we're walking downtown together. "

I stood up and looked out the window at the bright lights of the city. I took a deep breath in the darkness.

Half an hour later, I met Zhang Mei in a suite at the Grand Pearl Hotel, the predetermined location.

I arranged for Faang Aiguo to book the room.

Along the way, Zhang Mei looked exhausted, but she seemed to be in high spirits again when she saw me.

"How are you doing on the road?" I asked Zhang Mei.

Zhang Mei invited me to sit down. "It was all right, there were some escorts along the way. Actually, I came back this time because I wanted to take a plane from Kunming. I don't know why, but Asun insisted on not allowing it.

From Zhang Mei's words, I caught a whiff of her scent, which was something I couldn't smell right now. I also don't understand why Lee Shun insisted that Zhang Mei take the road.

"Regardless of the method, it might be for your safety!" That's all I can say.

Zhang Mei smiled. "Maybe."

I was silent for a moment. "When are you coming home?"

"Tomorrow morning!" Zhang Mei said.

"When will you be back?" I said again.

"Depends on the situation at home." Zhang Mei's face revealed an expression of worry.

"I hope it will be safe. It will be fine."

"Thank you for your wishes!"

"I'll accompany you back tomorrow!"

"No need, I won't hold you up any longer. I can have them, but they don't even need to go with me. I am just a woman, what problems would there be if I were to return home and visit my family in this peaceful times? It's Asun again. He told them to follow me no matter what. " Zhang Mei said disapprovingly.

"But there is no harm in doing so."

"Hur hur." Zhang Mei laughed.

"How are things over there?" "No," I said.

"It's the same as before. Recently, we've seized a lot of drugs. They were all intercepted on some secret smuggling routes that lead to the mainland. These drugs were all sold to Japan." Zhang Mei smiled and said, "This business is very profitable. It's practically empty-handed. We also earned a lot from this business."

I guess most of the drugs that Lee Shun got are Wu De's goods. Lee Shun has always been tightly controlling the drug channel from Golden Triangle to the continent, and the drugs that Wu De bought became Lee Shun's in the end. Lee Shun made a fortune after he resold them.

Indeed, Lee Shun had been cutting off Wu De's road to riches and was not planning to stop. The world of Golden Triangle was Lee Shun's. It was important that Lee Shun controlled the Golden Triangle, so Wu De's drug business would continue to suffer.

But I also understand that Wu De won't easily admit defeat, and he won't easily give up on the business of smuggling drugs through Golden Triangle.

There's one thing I don't understand, since he knows that Golden Triangle's drug smuggling channel has been cut off by Lee Shun, why does Wu De still continue to buy drugs to transport them to the mainland through these secret routes?

Why was Wu De so stubborn? Behind such persistence, what was he thinking?

I can't think of anything.

However, I know that Wu De is definitely not a fool.

In a sense, Lee Shun's actions could be said to be related to drug trafficking, but on another level, he was also dealing with drug trafficking. Although it was true that the writing of drugs was sold to Japan, although the disgust towards the Japanese would make people feel carefree, it would not change the substance of Lee Shun's drug trafficking. It could even be said that Lee Shun's Revolutionary Army was also a super drug trafficking organization.

Could it be that Wu De was indirectly cultivating an international drug trafficking group? Let Lee Shun unknowingly become an internationally renowned drug lord?

If Lee Shun were to continue like this, it would definitely attract the attention of the international drug control community. Attacking drug trafficking groups was a common responsibility of every country in the world. The Japanese people would not tolerate it, and the governments around the Golden Triangle would not tolerate it either.

If this continued, Lee Shun's Revolutionary Army would transform into a notorious drug trafficking corporation.

Was this Wu De's real intention? Could it be that Wu De wanted to use the external forces to solve Lee Shun's problem? Or was he plotting something else?

I thought hard.

I know Lee Shun will not stop the drug crackdown, even if I advise him to. Firstly, he wanted to continue strangling Wu De. Secondly, he wanted to make it so that Revolutionary Army could easily reap a large amount of money; secondly, many people in the Revolutionary Army had to be supported by money. Third, Lee Shun had always hated the Japanese.

According to Lee Shun's thinking, what he did was a righteous act and a way to uphold morality.

However, it was clear that the people of the world would not think so. Most people would think that Lee Shun was a drug dealer. In reality, this was indeed the case. No matter how honorable Lee Shun's actions were, they could not change the essence of the matter.

If Lee Shun was a drug lord, then what was I? Am I the boss's right-hand man? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be terrified.

After chatting with Zhang Mei for a while longer, I left Zhang Mei's room. Faang Aiguo, Lin Yaru and the rest were all in the next room.

They were talking and laughing about something, and when they saw me come in, they stopped talking and looked at me.

"Zhang Mei will stay here tonight and return home tomorrow." I sat down and said, "Aiguo, in a bit, arrange for a person to stand guard outside of Zhang Mei's room. One person will stay in this room, while the other two will be in front of the hotel and behind the hotel."

"Yes — —" Faang Aiguo answered.

"Tomorrow, when Zhang Mei comes home, the four of you will go with her." I said again.0

Faang Aiguo agreed again, and they went out to make the arrangements.

Then I looked at Lin Yaru. "What are you going to do?"

Lin Yaru said, "We'll head back immediately and take a boat to Hsinghai Pier to take care of Yantai. Afterwards, we'll head there directly from Yantai. We'll take turns driving, hoping to rush back to Ningzhou by noon tomorrow. We still have a lot of work to do in the company."

"Did Hai Zhu know that you've come out this time?" "No," I said.

"Got it. Before I left, I called Sister Hai Zhu and told her to go to Zhong Hai to do some business. I'll be back in a day." Lin Yaru said.

"Oh. "Deceiving our superiors." "No," I said.

Lin Yaru and the others all laughed. Lin Yaru said, "Brother Yi, there's nothing we can do about it!"

"I'm not blaming you either!" I said, "Your task has been completed. You have done very well. Everyone, you have all worked hard. Have some food first. After that, I will send you to the dock to take a boat." Oh right, have you bought a ticket? "

"Patriotism has already been bought for us. Tonight, we will cross the BoHai Strait together. Tomorrow morning, we will arrive at the Yantai at around 5 AM." Lin Yaru said.

"Yes." When Zhang Mei returns, Faang Aiguo and the others will escort her to Ningzhou. You guys will continue to escort her to the next station. "No," I said.

"It's my responsibility, my responsibility!" Lin Yaru said.

Then I went out to dinner with Lin Yaru and the others. After dinner, it was after 8 pm and the boat was at 9: 30.

I'll take them to the docks.

On the way, Lin Yaru looked at the night scenery outside the car and said: "Brother Yi, Hsinghai is indeed a beautiful seaside city, worthy of being called the Pearl of the North."

"The romantic capital, the charm Hsinghai." "No," I said.

"Hur hur. Romance Capital, Brother Yi, you really like this city, don't you? " Lin Yaru turned to look at me.

"I like it, don't you?" "No," I said.

"Hehe, when I say 'like', I mean more than just 'like'." Lin Yaru laughed.

"Then what do you mean?" "No," I said.

"What I mean is that Hsinghai is a city that makes you nostalgic and unable to leave, right?" Lin Yaru said.

My heart skipped a beat as I glanced at Lin Yaru. "You must have some hidden meaning, right?"

"I didn't. Did Brother Yi think too much or was it just someone who didn't want to hear it?" Lin Yaru said in a joking tone.

I didn't say anything, but I did admit in my heart that Lin Yaru's words were correct. Yes, Hsinghai, a city that I was joyous and worried about. Unknowingly, she had already taken root in my unerasable memories.

"This is a beautiful and enchanting city. It is understandable for you to linger here." Lin Yaru said again.

It was as if there was a hidden meaning behind her words.
