There was a long silence, the phone rang, but in the end I still didn't answer Ning Xing's call, and sat quietly in the small garden by myself, silently in a daze.

I don't know how long I sat there, the sky was getting dark, and Ye Zhan called me a few times from a distance, and I suddenly woke up.

Throughout the night, I was not in the mood at all, even when I was having dinner, I felt indifferent, and my mind was full of shadows of the two of them, which I couldn't get rid of.

It wasn't until the next morning that Shao Wentian woke me up with a phone call, and I temporarily suppressed my emotional thoughts.

I rubbed my temples, picked up my phone and sat slowly on the bedside, and connected to Shao Wentian's call, "Hello~"

Shao Wentian coughed a few times over there, cleared his throat, and said in a superior tone: "Commander Li, the next thing about Tiejiangnan is ready, I think you'd better leave as soon as possible to avoid delays time."

As soon as I heard Shao Wentian's tone, I immediately understood what was going on. He was afraid that the Li family would monitor his mobile phone. , There is also a plan to defraud the Li family. Not only did the people in power of the Li family not notice it, they believed it to be true.

All of this is under control, and I am very satisfied in my heart, but on the surface, I pretend to be a subordinate, and respond: "Okay, Master Shao, I will arrange everything immediately, and leave for Mingzhu City as soon as tomorrow, to help the Iron River go down. Will live up to expectations.”

"Well, I hope you can come back victorious. Don't let me down, let alone the Li family. As for the resources for cultivating masters, they have been divided into two batches and sent to the strongholds of Yangcheng City and Mingzhu City. The matter of being a member of Tiejiang has been spread among the major families, since I am a member of Tiejiang, you can do it with confidence." Shao Wentian said something, and then hung up the phone.

Putting the phone away, I raised the corner of my mouth slightly, secretly thinking that the fact that I entered Tiejiang had spread so quickly to the circles of the major families, and it is clear now that I want to come to the Ning Mansion, right?

With the wisdom of old Ning, he must have guessed my plan, and he knows who I brought out from the Ye family. He knows exactly what I want to do. He hasn't called me so far. one level.

Simply, I didn't call Ning Lao. After all, there are some things that everyone knows well.



On this day, I did not stay in the bungalow, nor did I let anyone follow me. Instead, I drove out the Audi spare car in the garage, wandered around the capital, and enjoyed my last day in Yanjing. .

At present, I have the support of the Li family behind me. I don’t have to worry about being alone at all, let alone be afraid that the Song family will dare to attack me, especially since I bear the heavy responsibility of going down the Yangtze River. If Song Hai dares to mess around, the anger of the Li family will definitely not be him able to bear.

So, I felt relaxed in a rare way, and suddenly liked this feeling, driving an ordinary Audi car, like an ordinary person.

After entering a cafe, I sat quietly by the window, holding a cup of coffee in my hand, looking at the colorful world outside the window, watching those people who are busy with work and worried about their children, I really want to be with you Like them, they don't have to live under the threat of murder every day.

Taking a sip of the mellow and silky coffee, I slowly put down the cup, quietly staring at the world outside the window, enjoying this plain and relaxing moment, it seems that this is what I really want.

At this moment, an old man with white hair and a wrinkled face walked up to me with a crutch, pointed to the seat opposite me, and asked, "Young man, is there anyone here? Can I sit down?" Is it here?"

"Okay, old man, you can sit down, it's okay." I nodded slightly.

The old man smiled slightly, and sat across from me slowly. After ordering a glass of boiled water, he put his hands on the crutches, followed my gaze, looked out the window, and asked, "Young man, what's the point?" There is nothing different outside the window, what are you looking at?"

I turned my face, looked at the old man squarely, smiled and said, "What you are looking at depends on what you are thinking."

"This is quite mysterious, what are you thinking?" the old man asked again.

I didn't think there was anything strange, this old man was just a very ordinary old man, I didn't mind at all, I gently picked up the coffee cup and said: "I was thinking, how can I be ordinary, carefree, and free from worldly things?" to be an ordinary person.”

"In this world, there is no such thing as carefree, but every individual will have ties, worries, and emotions, which are inevitable." The old man smiled hoarsely.

What the old man said was so reasonable that I was at a loss for words. After a pause for half a minute, I couldn't help but smile wryly, as if the old man had clarified his words.

"Yeah, maybe the life I imagined doesn't exist at all." I put down my coffee cup and sighed.

At this time, the service provider put a glass of boiled water on the countertop, and when he turned to leave, the old man glanced at the glass and said, "This life is like boiled water. When you add sugar, it becomes sweet."

"When you add salt, it is salty. You can also make a glass of plain water without adding anything. As the saying goes, life is full of life, but if you add other things, it cannot be changed. In the end, what to add , depends on what kind of person you want to become."

The old man's words are very simple, but I can't argue with them.

Staring at the boiled water on the table, I suddenly felt that this old man was not simple, so I quickly raised my hands, "May I ask, what is your name, senior?"

The old man brushed his white beard, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you want to be."

After finishing speaking, the old man stood up slowly, without saying a word, walked out of the cafe step by step with a cane, leaving only a glass of boiled water, which was quietly placed on the counter.

I looked out of the window, but I could no longer see the figure of the old man. Instead, I stared at the glass of boiled water, "It's a tall man."

He stretched out his hand, picked up the glass of boiled water, observed carefully, and felt that what the old man said made sense.

Life is like water, add sugar and salt, it depends on yourself, who you want to be and who you want to be.

"Whether you add sugar or salt, it's just a process. Sugar water and salt water are water after all. It's just that the more experience, the more taste, and what I want to be is myself. Even if I go through ups and downs, I will not forget my original self. "

Putting down the glass, I stand up, more at ease than ever.

Stepping out of the door of the cafe, I took out my mobile phone, dialed Shao Wentian, and said, "Master Shao, please arrange a special plane for me, and I will leave tonight to Mingzhu City to complete the operation of going down the Iron River."

Hanging up the phone, I clenched my fists, looked up at the sky of the capital, and said to myself: "Mingzhu City, I'm here, maybe... this will be a new beginning, when I come back to Yanjing, maybe I won't Will be so passive, Song family, Xu family, Chu family, Ye family, Fang Dao!"

"And...the Li family!"

....
