Life in siheyuan era

Shen Jue was worried, this movement confused him.

Zhou Zhiyuan said softly: "You are in the midst of it. I think the scale of this movement was not the original intention of the decision-makers, but was expanded by some front-line commanders."

"They seized the decision-makers' idea of putting the people first, and they can get the decision-makers' support by using the banner of 'public opinion'. But the decision-makers definitely don't want to lose control, and the intervention of the troops can explain it."

"The key here is not the movement itself, but that some people want to take the opportunity to rise to the top. They are hiding in the dark, hidden among the people, so this movement will get out of control in some areas and affect the upper levels."

Zhou Zhiyuan's analysis made Shen Jue and Shen Lanbo ponder in silence. After a while, Shen Jue asked in a low voice: "Is this your analysis or that of Wen Bin?"

Zhou Zhiyuan replied decisively: "I had this feeling from what I saw and thought on the way back. I haven't discussed this with Wen Bin."

This made Shen Jue breathe a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's keep this to ourselves and don't spread it out."

As soon as Shen Jue's words fell, Shen Lanbo asked in a low voice: "Go to the Fang Yancun base?"

Zhou Zhiyuan replied in a low voice: "It's not time yet."

Their conversation alerted Shen Jue, who shouted in a low voice: "What is Fang Yancun?"

Then, looking at their expressions, he said coldly: "You know how to have multiple escape routes at such a young age?"

Shen Lanbo and Zhou Zhiyuan did not speak. Shen Jue pondered for a moment and asked: "Zhiyuan, tell me, why is it not time yet?"

Zhou Zhiyuan analyzed, "Your job is situation analysis. At this time, if you focus on international situation analysis, everyone will need you, so you will stay away from the power struggle."

"And so is Aunt Chen. As a surgical expert who came down from the battlefield, she saved the lives of many soldiers. Who would you trust if you need surgery?"

"And Lanbo is on the front line of anti-espionage. This work cannot be relaxed at any time."

"So you, Aunt Chen, and Lanbo are all very safe, unless you say something you shouldn't say or do something you shouldn't do, otherwise no one will touch you."

"And it's normal for the three of you to be confused about this movement. If you can't see it clearly, don't speak. Just focus on your work. It's not wrong to closely follow ZL's steps in action. In the end, ZL will have to end this movement."

Zhou Zhiyuan's words suddenly awakened Shen Jue. Why think so much? Doing his own job well is the main business.

After understanding, Shen Jue thought of Fang Muxian and immediately decided to chat with him.

At this time, the three of them were talking in the study, while Chen Shuying, Fang Nan, and Shen Lanyin were sitting in the living room studying the matter of meeting the future in-laws.

For Chen Shuying, Zhou Dehou was different from Fang Muxian. They were strangers to each other. Shen Lanyin said some things, but Chen Shuying still felt strange.

So Shen Lanyin said: "Just say what you want to say. Aunt Lin is a straightforward person. You may not be able to outspeak Aunt Lin."

Shen Lanyin's words made Chen Shuying dissatisfied. Her daughter was speaking for her future mother-in-law before she even got married.

Fang Nan smiled and said: "If Mom can't win, I'm here."

Fang Nan's expression was just right, and Chen Shuying was satisfied. So the topic turned to the wedding room.

Shen Lanyin said briskly: "Master Zhiyuan tidied up the west wing last year, and the furniture has also been made. We are just waiting for the wedding."

This old man is really prescient. Did he know that Zhou Zhiyuan would come back this year?

But Chen Shuying didn't think about this question. Fang Nan reminded Shen Lanyin, "There is no bathroom there, and you can't take a shower every day."

"I made an appointment with Lao Fang to go to his house." Shen Jue said, putting on his coat and walking out the door.

Chen Shuying didn't care. She walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. The five of them had just sat down at the table when the doorbell rang. Aunt Liu sighed: "Fang Xiang and Junling are here to freeload again."

Only then did Zhou Zhiyuan know that Fang Xiang had married Liu Junling.

The relationship between people is really strange. Fang Xiang, who had always wanted to marry a stunning beauty, actually proposed to the ordinary-looking Liu Junling, and Liu Junling, who had always looked down on Fang Xiang, actually agreed.

Not only did the two get married, but they also seemed to be very harmonious. Liu Junling would definitely not allow Zhou Zhiyuan to bully Fang Xiang.

Zhou Zhiyuan wondered, "When did I bully Fang Xiang?"

Fang Xiang's expression seemed to be quite puzzled. Facing Zhou Zhiyuan, he didn't plan to use force, nor did he think about using a backer. He should be able to crush him in terms of intelligence.

He was confident, forgetting that Liu Junling had warned him that Zhou Zhiyuan was best at pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

Liu Junling had warned Fang Xiang, but she couldn't dampen his confidence, so she turned to warn Zhou Zhiyuan that she would join the battle if he dared to bully Fang Xiang.

After making the warning, she saw Shen Lanyin gently pursing her lips.

This was Shen Lanyin's unique reaction when she was dissatisfied. Seeing her action, Liu Junling realized that things were bad. If Zhou Zhiyuan and Shen Lanyin joined forces, the outcome of this mixed doubles match would be decided before it even started.

So Liu Junling immediately decided to sign a non-aggression treaty, but there was a problem on her side. Fang Xiang didn't mean it.

So Liu Junling turned to persuade Fang Xiang, while Zhou Zhiyuan and Shen Lanyin ate peacefully. Chen Shuying didn't care about Liu Junling's small actions, and neither did Fang Nan. Her sister-in-law was still quite smart.

Over here, Liu Junling was trying to persuade Fang Xiang, while at the Modi Western Restaurant, Liu Mingxue finally got Hao Zhiwen to speak, "Zhou Zhiyuan has been gone for three years, Lanyin's pursuer Fang Xiang married Liu Junling, I married Yang Dan, but the L office has no reaction. Have you considered why this is happening?"

Liu Mingxue knew the story here and said frankly: "I heard that Lanyin and Zhou Zhiyuan disappeared together for three days and three nights. I don't care about this."

Hearing him say the reason, Hao Zhiwen looked at Liu Mingxue, lowered his eyes, picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and said after swallowing: "After the storm passed, Fang Xiang pursued Lanyin again, and so did I. Do you know why?"

Hao Zhiwen raised a question, and without waiting for Liu Mingxue to answer, he continued: "We both understand Lanyin. She is a person who insists on her bottom line. She will not break this bottom line without entering the bridal chamber."

"So, although Lanyin clarified her relationship with Zhou Zhiyuan afterwards, we still wanted to get one last chance. Zhou Zhiyuan leaving Beijing was the best opportunity, but a year later, we both married others one after another. Do you know why?"

He still didn't let Liu Mingxue answer, and answered himself: "Because the L office sent someone to find Lanyin, and she refused on the spot."

"At that time, Fang Xiang said to me, 'With that lady's character, she will definitely retaliate.' But nothing happened afterwards. At this time, we knew that there was a big hand protecting Zhou Zhiyuan, maybe even LZ."

Hao Zhiwen's conclusion surprised Liu Mingxue, who asked in a low voice: "Isn't it protecting Lanyin?"

Liu Mingxue replied in a low voice: "I just introduced to you that Yuan Shi is one of Lanyin's many bodyguards. What kind of person do you think he is?"

"Let me remind you again, you were almost beaten by a police school student. Do you know who that student is?"

"I asked Liu Junling, and she told me that Yuan Shi and Zhou Zhiyuan have a very good relationship, and that police school student calls Zhou Zhiyuan 'Second Brother'. His maternal grandfather is a master and also one of Lanyin's bodyguards. Hearing this news, who do you think the big hand above is protecting?"

Hao Zhiwen raised another question, still not letting Liu Mingxue answer, and continued: "Zhou Zhiyuan participated in the plateau counterattack and won the collective first-class military merit on the battlefield. After being transferred, he was assigned to work in the Xingyi Street Office."

"This is his surface identity. We speculate that he also has another identity and has an irreplaceable role, so the above is protecting him."

"Understanding the story here is one aspect. Another aspect is that Lanyin is wholeheartedly devoted to Zhou Zhiyuan, so Fang Xiang married Liu Junling after chasing her for a year, and I also knew it was impossible, so I married Yang Dan."

"You were busy pursuing Lanyin this year, while I and Fang Xiang have been watching the joke. You don't understand. When Lanyin rejected you for the first time, you should have withdrawn. When she rejected you for the second time, she was already tired of you."

"Fortunately, you didn't have time to make a third confession before Zhou Zhiyuan came back. Were you planning to make a third confession yesterday afternoon? If you did, you and Lanyin wouldn't even be able to be colleagues. This is not what I said, Liu Junling knows her best."

Fang Xiang opened the floodgates. He had been holding these words in his heart, and now he felt relieved to pour them out.

But Liu Mingxue was considering a question, "Will Shen Lanyin change?"

Shen Lanyin's personality is quite special, which is the main reason that attracts him. He has seen many beautiful women in Y country, but Shen Lanyin's temperament and style of doing things are something he has never seen before.

When he pursued Shen Lanyin, he adhered to a principle, "A good woman is afraid of a persistent pursuer."

And when he knew that there was no chance for the time being, there was another principle, "Beautiful women are fickle." The temptation for beautiful women is greater than for other women.
