"All dead?" The young man sitting on the sofa asked in a deep voice.
Gloomy. Handsome.
He held a glass of whiskey with ice in his hand, the amber liquid swaying in the transparent glass.
A Poland vs. Argentina football game was playing on the big screen. The TV was silent, like a pantomime chasing after intense skills.
An old man in a suit stood behind the sofa and said softly, "All dead."
"Did you find the bodies?"
"Found them." The old man said, "They were not treated badly. They all died well. "
The young man raised his head and drank the glass in one gulp.
He turned the empty glass in one hand and said sarcastically, "They really cherish heroes."
"That Fang Yan's strength is indeed unfathomable. He is not someone ordinary people can deal with. "The old man said. "They … are too weak."
"Still too impatient." The young man said. "If we wait a little longer, maybe we won't be so passive. In this gamble, he had lost half of the Dragon Diagram. What a pity. "
"It's just a beautiful empty shell. Losing is losing. Young Master will always have a chance to turn things around. "The old man gently advised.
"That's right. But I still feel a little uncomfortable … "
"This is what I have been advising Young Master. Draw the knife and see blood. If you can't see blood, then don't let people know that you are holding a knife in your hand. After this lesson, Young Master will think more comprehensively and thoughtfully in the future. It's not a bad thing. "
"How do I compare with him?" The young man asked.
The old man was silent.
"Just say it."
"It's hard to say."
"What's hard to say?"
"Young Master, I understand. But I can't see through it. Fang Yan, I thought I understood, and I thought I saw through it … In fact, I didn't understand and didn't see through it. "The old man said. "I saw him standing there, stabbed him with the knife, and found that it was only his shadow."
"What a difficult guy." The man smiled bitterly. "Say, isn't this the so-called fate? When the time is right, why did he appear? "
"This is fate." The man said.
A car horn sounded outside. The old man glanced at the man and said, "Young Master, the master is here. Secretary Li called me just now. "
"What is he doing here?" The man frowned. He downed the whiskey in his glass in one gulp and said, "Go out and get it."
The car stopped in the courtyard, and Jiang Zhuliu quickly walked over to open the door. He said with a smile, "Dad, why are you here? Can't we talk about it when we get back? "
"With your mother nagging at home, it's not easy for us father and son to have a conversation." Kiang Long Tan said aloud. "Let's go. Come and play with me."
Bend over. Swing.
Pa!
The white ball flew straight to the green.
"Good ball," Jiang Zhuliu praised loudly. "Dad, you're still young. You almost hit the hole in one shot."
"A hole-in-one depends on skill, and even more on luck. It doesn't count, "Kiang Long Tan said as he walked toward the landing spot with the club in his hand.
He stood on the green and gently pushed the small ball into the hole with the putter. He said, "I'd rather make one more putt to ensure that the ball goes into the hole smoothly. A ball in the hole is a good ball. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful your swing is, you won't score. "
Jiang Zhuliu knew that there was a deeper meaning in his father's words, so he nodded and said, "Dad, I understand."
"You don't understand." Kiang Long Tan shook his head and said without giving his son any face.
Jiang Zhuliu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I've done something to make you unhappy again? You can't wait for me to go home and come here to teach me a lesson. "
"Do you know who has been hiding behind the scenes and going against our Jiang family?" Kiang Long Tan handed the club in his hand to Secretary Li behind him, took the towel to wipe his hands and asked aloud.
"Dad, if I don't even know this, you must be quite disappointed in me, right?" Jiang Zhuliu said with a smile. "The Liu family established the earliest energy company in Huacheng, and our Longtu Group came later to take over. It's natural for them to play some tricks behind the scenes … We've also given them a lot of tricks, haven't we? We all know each other very well. "
"Then do you know that they have far more information than we think?" Kiang Long Tan said.
"What do they have?" Jiang Zhuliu asked.
"Lu Mingtu." Kiang Long Tan said these three words in a cold voice.
"What?" Jiang Zhuliu was shocked.
"Looks like we father and son should have a good chat. Now that the situation has changed, the Jiang family's winter has come. "
"That incident happened overseas without anyone knowing, how could he know the truth of this matter?" Jiang Zhuliu said. "Moreover, the ones who did it were all foreigners, and now all of them are dead. Even if they investigate, they won't be able to find you. "
Kiang Long Tan's expression was cold as he said, "What if Wang Li didn't die?"
"Lu Chaoge's aunt? Wang Li didn't die? How could she … Where is she? "Jiang Zhuliu looked at his father in surprise and said," You failed? "
"I was too careless. If I had used another method, this wouldn't have happened. "Kiang Long Tan said with slight regret. "However, it's fortunate that she escaped death and came back to life. If she died, there would be no more hope. Those things would forever be a secret. What a pity. "
"I don't understand." Jiang Zhuliu said.
"I have to admit that Lu Mingtu is a genius scientist. Twenty years ago, his research in the field of energy was already at the forefront of the world. Even now, the Rubik's Cube technology is still a difficult problem that energy research labs around the world are working hard to solve … "
"At that time, my views and his were divergent. I hoped to use the Rubik's Cube technology for military use. In that case, we could get a lot of orders from the military. But he wanted the Rubik's Cube to be used for civilian use. He didn't want the thing he created to become a tool to kill people or participate in war … What a smart and pedantic guy. My views and his were opposing, and the contradiction grew bigger and bigger. The work of the research lab could only be temporarily put on hold. "
"Later, I found Liu Jing to replace him …"
"Liu Jing is a member of the Liu family. He has a mistress who gave birth to a son for him. His Swiss bank account often receives large amounts of money. I found a hacker to track it, and the money came from an import and export trading company under the Liu family. "Jiang Zhuliu said. "I warned you before."
"How could I not notice such an obvious spy?" Jiang Long said. "There must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary. After Lu Mingtu died, Liu Jing and I never contacted each other. The strange thing is, he obviously hated me, but he didn't want to leave Longtu … So, isn't it easy to guess what he was plotting? "
"Then why didn't you replace him?"
"I didn't replace him because I wanted my opponents to watch me, so they could see what I was doing," Kiang Long Tan said. "If a spy's IQ isn't high enough, then who can be sure that he won't be used by us?"
"He's dead …"
"His death has nothing to do with me." Kiang Long Tan sternly interrupted his son's words. "This is part of their plan. Lu Chaoge had just been killed in a car accident. Everyone was pointing their fingers at me. Just when countless people were blaming and attacking me … Liu Jing suddenly jumped out and made a scene, and was smashed to death by a pot of water as soon as he left the house. This really put me in a dilemma, and it's hard to clear my name. "
"The Liu family controlled Wang Li, so father didn't dare to push Lu Chaoge too hard all these years?" Jiang Zhuliu asked curiously. "I always thought that she should have disappeared a long time ago … What good does the existence of such a person do us?"
"I was fishing," Kiang Long Tan said. "If you want to catch a big fish with delicious meat, you need to have bait that the big fish likes. Lu Chaoge is the most suitable bait, and I've been using it for twenty years. Just when the fish was about to bite, you smashed it away with a stone. "
"Wang Li? She's a useless person, what's there to fish? "Jiang Zhuliu said disdainfully.
"I thought so too." Kiang Long Tan shook his head and sighed. "So, I wanted to erase her from this world. Only dead people can keep secrets. The fewer people who know about it, the safer and more beneficial it is for us. In the end, I was the one in the wrong. Lu Mingtu, that idiot, actually started to play tricks on me. "
"What did he do?" Jiang Zhuliu asked.
"After Lu Mingtu's death, I found a notebook in the crevice of his desk. It turns out that he had already solved the final problem of the Rubik's Cube technology, allowing it to be widely used in the civilian sector … "
Jiang Zhuliu was shocked. "What about the Rubik's Cube? The real Rubik's Cube is in Wang Li's hands? "
"That's my suspicion." Kiang Long Tan said, "Wang Li was the closest person to Lu Mingtu and his wife. He often wrote about this in his diary. Moreover, Wang Li herself is also involved in energy research. When Lu Mingtu was the head of the research room, Wang Li was still Lu Mingtu's assistant … Lu Mingtu is likely to have handed over the mature Rubik's Cube technology to Wang Li. "
"The Liu family doesn't know?" Jiang Zhuliu asked a crucial question.
"How could they know?" Kiang Long Tan sneered. "If they knew, would Wang Li still be alive? Would Lu Chaoge still be alive? "
Jiang Zhuliu didn't say another word.
It was too complicated. It was a hundred times more complicated than he had imagined.
He knew that his father was wise and decisive, but sometimes he was too sentimental. He had thought that his father had kept Lu Chaoge alive because he couldn't bear to hurt her, and that he wanted to turn her into a true member of the Jiang family. Jiang Zhuliu was willing to cooperate, hoping that he could win the girl's heart.
As it turned out, she was his father's bait.
His father wanted Wang Li to take the bait and contact Lu Chaoge first. To his surprise, Wang Li was able to restrain herself and didn't care about Lu Chaoge at all.
And to prevent the Liu family from getting the Rubik's Cube technology, his father had to keep it a secret.
However, all of this had been destroyed by him.
"I can already tell that Wang Li and Chaoge are contacting each other … I can see it in the way Lu Chaoge looks at me. I want to give them some time, and give me some time as well. I've been waiting for more than twenty years. Why wait a day or two? "
"Some talented actors, or actors who think they are, are always impatient and eager to prove themselves …" Kiang Long Tan looked at Jiang Zhuliu with pity in his eyes. "You've done it the other night."
