Bulwark of Light

Chapter 160 The Thief of the Flag

“Lu Nanzhi’s speech during the election campaign had a very serious impact on the advancement of the Awakening Act…”

“Western Continent Bright City is withdrawing the infusion of Flower Banner’s funding on the Awakening Act.”

“The Lin Family of the Northern Fortress also called the office.”

Luoying Trail.

One old and one young.

Cui Zhongcheng pushed the wheelchair and said softly: “The phone on the top floor of Huazhi has been blown, and the content they want to express is similar, they are all about withdrawing from the cooperation of ‘New World’, and they are seriously incompatible. Optimistic about the competition for the bill.”

“Although you don’t want to hear that, I have to say…the current situation is very bad for us.”

Xilai Zhao When I fell asleep, I just sat in a wheelchair and listened silently.

“Looking at it now, the meeting in the Liberty Auditorium is a cover… Lu Nanzhi lied to me and lied to you, until she took the stage, everyone thought that the three alternative members of Nanwan were Giving up the campaign is a compromise.”

Mr. Cui said: “Retreat and build up your strength. This is a clean and deadly blow.”

I have to say.

This blow is beautiful.

And… it hurts!

After the election process, the Electoral College of the Eastern Continent Council will give the result of the vote… In fact, the result of the election at this time no longer needs to be voted, only Lu Nanzhi is the only one.

And time is running out for bill proponents.

Once Lu Nanzhi takes office, the last vote to overwhelm the bill will be born…

“It will take a week to unify the results of the Electoral College. Lu Nanzhi officially takes over the seat of the councillor. , it will take a week, and we have two weeks left.” Cui Zhongcheng said slowly: “If she can be persuaded to change the vote type in these two weeks, then the bill can still be passed.”

“Temporary defections. , it’s nothing.”

Zhao Xilai stretched out a hand, signaling Cui Zhongcheng to stop pushing.

The two were standing in the trail of fallen leaves.

The old man watched a dead leaf slowly fall, “During past struggles… being deceived and betrayed are all commonplace, and I’m already used to it. I don’t need to be nervous when this happens, because There must be something to talk about, but it is nothing more than giving up the benefit. As long as the benefit is given, the other party will be willing to submit and obey again.”

“But this time…it’s different…”

Zhao Xilai caught the dead leaf with his palm and said with a smile: “Who else can give Lu Nanzhi more than me?”

Cui Zhongcheng opened his mouth, wanting to Stop talking.

“I’m—”

“Give the future of Hua Qi to her—”

Zhao Xilai’s voice gradually softened, saying: “Maybe it’s because when my life is about to come to an end, I always inadvertently recall the past, and my emotions are easy to become sentimental… I have always regarded her as my daughter… I have always expected her to take over this place. A huge industry…”

“The chick spreads its wings and strives to fly high.”

“Now, she has grown up and has become the ‘lady’ of Dadu.”

Zhao Xilai was relieved to say with a smile: “But at the last ‘inheritance’ moment, this incident happened…”

“Xiao Cui, you said, it’s not enough for me to treat her Ok?”

“…”

Cui Zhongcheng was silent for a long time.

He is a liar.

“Mr. Senator, you treat her as your own… Everyone can see that.” Mr. Cui said slowly, “But her father is Lu Cheng.”

Zhao Xilai was in a trance.

He slowly clasped his palms together, and the dead leaf was crushed into his palm, making a crisp, dry cracking sound.

“Lu…Cheng…”

Zhao Xilai lowered his head and laughed at himself: “I haven’t heard this name for a long time… This is obviously my best old friend, but now it’s not. Even hearing the name is unfamiliar…”

“So you want to remind me that the flower flag should be hers…”

There is no sound in the old man’s tone. Anger, just drifting with a slight sense of disappointment.

“That’s right.”

Zhao Xilai laughed, “If she has buried hatred in her heart over the years, then every time she sees me, it should be like watching a thief, I He stole Lu Cheng’s family property, dreams, everything.”

“Those bionic capsules, genetic laboratories, countless design manuscripts, those lofty and magnificent, The shocking ideas, ideas, the inventions, creations that made Huaqi famous all over the world… are all stolen by me.”

“Every time people are shocked by Huaqi, proud of Huaqi, enjoy The person who praises all this is not her father, but a thief like me.”

The old man murmured.

“Lu Cheng died. He died anonymously and was buried on a hillside in the old city. I have been pretending not to know where the cemetery is, and pretending to have forgotten everything about this old friend.”

“You know, why?”

Cui Zhongcheng looked at the old man who was mumbling sleepily, and he shook the head.

“Because…for the name Lu Cheng…there is nothing better than dying in obscurity.”

The old man raised his head, let go of his palm, rustled. The rustling crumbs of dead leaves fell.

“The lunatic who tries to subvert the world order can die with dignity and leave a clean reputation. This is an extravagant hope.”

Cui Zhongcheng frowned.

“Lu Nan Jin has also returned to Dadu, obviously…she came to seek revenge for me.” Zhao Xilai said softly: “Actually, I had expected such a day, but didn’t expect will be so fast…”

Ten years have gone by in a flash.

“The Lion Lane case… what was it all about?” Cui Zhongcheng asked slowly.

He didn’t get an answer.

“What happened in the alley back then, does it still matter? The dust has already settled, and Lu Cheng died in that alley.”

Zhao Xilai said indifferently: “They If you think that the Lion Lane case was done by me, then… just think so…”

Cui Zhongcheng knew.

After Lu Cheng’s death, Huaqi suffered a major reshuffle.

At that time, he left Dateng Public School, joined the Zhao family, and went through one battle after another…washing the old department and retraining his confidants, Zhao Xilai spent several years, Lu Cheng’s efforts completely destroyed the reconstruction.

Everything in this land is new except the flag, which is old.

“You just said…there are still two weeks?”

“Two weeks is enough.” The old man closed his eyes, the faint sadness of aging from his brows. The time was swept away, and he coldly said with breathless: “Tell Bright City and Lin Family about the implementation of the Awakening Act, and the banner will be taken.”

“Yes.”

Cui Zhongcheng looked at the aged lion.

Only two weeks left…is this the final war?

“Take me to meet Nan Zhi.” Zhao Xilai slowly opened his eyes, and the imposing manner that had just been cold slowly dissipated as his eyes opened.

He said softly: “I don’t want to start a war… There should be a softer way to resolve this matter. If we meet, then everything has to be discussed.”
