Volume 7: Frost Chapter 9 Communication
After coming out of the dome theater, Jiang You received a call from Tang Butian.
Tang Butian said: "Xie Dong is dead. Wu Yulan and Guan Nuo went to Yanjing."
Jiang You took a few steps towards the fountain not far away, "Should we go?"
"Need not."
"Okay, I'm in the Ocean Park. There's a little dolphin there. He's very clever."
"Go ahead and have fun." Tang Butian hung up the phone.
Jiang You turned around and saw Chen Nan walking towards him with Yunyun and Jiang Mo.
Chen Nan asked: "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, an elder passed away," Jiang You put the phone back into his bag, "Shall we go have dinner? And then go back to the room and take a rest?"
Chen Nan agreed and said, "Let's go."
The hotel's buffet is decent.
Had a hearty meal.
After returning to the room, Jiang You lay down on the couch beside the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn't get up.
He looked at his WeChat step count and said, "I've walked nearly 30,000 steps today. I can't do it anymore. You guys go take a walk."
So Chen Nan asked Yunyun and Jiang Mo if they wanted to go out for a walk.
Yunyun wants to go.
Jiang Mo climbed to the other side of the couch and lay down as well.
After Chen Nan led Yunyun out of the room, Jiang You gently kicked Jiang Mo and asked, "Do you want to go to Yanjing to play?"
Jiang You's cell phone flew out of her bag and into Jiang Mo's hands.
The sound of the short video rang out.
"I don't want to go either. I'm a little curious about Xie Dong."
Jiang You looked at the floor-to-ceiling window. His shadow was reflected in the window, blending into the colorful lights .
"It would be great if our small pond could be connected to the sea, and we could raise dolphins, sharks, turtles, and all kinds of fish in it. I could buy a set of fishing equipment and go fishing in the pond every day. When the time comes, you can ride a turtle if you want, or a dolphin if you want. We can also get some corals and jellyfish and mix them with jellyfish skin to eat. Isn't that great?"
Jiang Mo looked at the phone screen intently.
Jiang You yawned, "At the deepest part of the sea, there is a law that is very beautiful and sparkling."
Jiang Mo raised his head.
Jiang You continued, "All beings that agree with that law and are recognized by the law will be put on the shelf. When they are bought, it is the moment they are born in this world."
Jiang Mo looked at him, with a hint of red flashing in his eyes.
"We'll charge the difference," Jiang You said happily. He took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table and motioned Jiang Mo to light it for him. He said, "They will scatter all over the world, moving between humans one after another. When they violate the will of the law, there will be a saint holding a wooden sword to cut off their meaning."
Jiang Mo said: "Yes."
“It’s a bit troublesome.”
"It's burned."
“There are a lot of competitors.”
"It's burned."
"I'm not feeling well."
Jiang Mo kicked Jiang You on the waist, kicked him off the couch, and then continued to watch the video with his head down.
Jiang You sat on the ground, leaning against the coffee table. He took off his glasses and took a puff of cigarette. "I don't have much energy. I get a headache when I think about things, and my bones ache when the sky is cloudy. I can't do such a big thing."
"Yes."
"I don't remember much. You see, my memory is not very good either."
Jiang Mo threw the phone on his stomach.
Jiang You picked it up and took a look. Chen Nan sent him a few photos, and the night light parade began. "
Jiang You replied: It looks good. I will come find you later.
Smoke rose from his fingertips, and he said, "I need to think about it again."
…
Guan Qingtong pushed open the door of the study.
Zhuang Zekun lowered his head and sat behind the desk. Guan Qingtong carefully pushed the door shut and walked to the desk. She said, "I got the news and came here immediately. Yu Lan and Guan Nuo haven't gotten off the plane yet, and Zhu Wen is on the way too."
Zhuang Zekun opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Guan Qingtong asked: "Have you found the reason?"
Zhuang Zekun shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The voice is dry and hoarse.
"What are you going to do?" Guan Qingtong asked.
"I don't know," Zhuang Zekun raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. He said, "The teacher passed away during a meeting. I was sitting next to him. I thought he was just tired and was resting his eyes. When the meeting was over, I went to call him, but I couldn't wake him up. When he was sent to the ambulance, he had stopped breathing."
"Lao Zhuang..."
"Poisoning has been ruled out. There are no obvious external or internal injuries. The preliminary diagnosis is cerebral hemorrhage caused by fatigue. I, I, the teacher has worked hard for us all his life. How can I bear to go and destroy his body again..."
"Where is the incident? Have you checked it?"
"I checked. The security level of the meeting is very high. I personally set up the barrier. After the incident, the scene was immediately blocked. Wangshu and I checked carefully several times and there was nothing abnormal." Zhuang Zekun suddenly hit the desk with his hand. "But, but, but Xiaotong, I was sitting next to him, do you understand? I was sitting next to him. If the teacher really, really did it, how could I not feel anything at all?"
Guan Qingtong rested her hands on the desk and looked down into Zhuang Zekun's eyes. "Who are the people attending the meeting?"
Zhuang Zekun opened the drawer and pulled out a piece of paper with a list on it.
Guan Qingtong glanced at the name on it, and then asked, "Did the teacher tell you anything?"
"He said he would retire in two years and asked me to take his place."
Guan Qingtong took the paper in her hand, stood up straight, and walked a few steps in the study.
Zhuang Zekun looked at her hopefully, "Xiaotong, have you figured out anything?"
Guan Qingtong shook her head. "The teacher looks young, but he is actually nearly 80 years old."
"Do you also think it was a natural death?" Zhuang Zekun asked.
Guan Qingtong did not answer, but said: "The position of director of the Special Operations Office can only be held by you."
"Xiaotong, I feel very uncomfortable now."
"Lao Zhuang, you have to stay calm. If you mess up, all of us will be in chaos."
Zhuang Zekun took a deep breath and then exhaled. He said, "I don't think anyone wants to grab the position. There is nothing to grab. In the current situation, we have to start training again, and the relationship with the mountain is now up to us to maintain. When it's time to do things, there are no fruits to pick, and no one will come to grab them." He sneered, "Teacher has devoted his whole life to this. He has no family and no descendants. We, we are the same. Brother Kang asked me to take good care of you, but in the end, no one had a good result."
"So I don't want Xiao Nuo to go to Teke."
" I have no choice."
"I know.
"sorry."
"Who would want Xie Dong to die?" Guan Qingtong asked.
Zhuang Zekun grabbed his hair and said, "I don't know. I can't figure it out. I thought it was the remnants of Jinghu Society at first, but Mingshen is dead, where do they get the power from? And even if they want to kill, they should kill me first..."
Guan Qingtong said: "I want to see the teacher's body."
Zhuang Zekun stood up and said, "I'll take you there."
