He looked over, his eyes were calm and bottomless, no one could see through him, but it seemed that he could easily see through other people's hearts, and no one could hide.

The ancient heart is at war between heaven and man.

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Old Xiao meant.

After the seeds of doubt were planted, Lao Li no longer believed their words unless he told the truth. He knew very well that what Lao Li was waiting for was not his denial. To be precise, Lao Li was giving him a chance to confess, so he would appear here.

But he knew better, he couldn't.

It can't be said, and Lao Li's suspicion can't be made worse.

Dilemma, but both must be met.

When Lao Li asked those questions, his nerves tensed quietly, and Lao Gu restrained himself, trying his best not to let himself reveal the slightest bit.

"Old Li," he pondered for a moment, met his gaze, sighed slightly, and said half-truthfully, "You should know, some things are confidential, I can't tell you, even if you didn't leave back then and stayed Here, secrets are also secrets, whether it is me or you, you must obey the order, the order... must be completed no matter what."

"Give me a cigarette." He motioned to Li Jingyan.

Li Jingyan glanced at him lightly, twisted out one and handed it to him.

Old Gu took it.

After igniting it, he took a deep breath, and when the smoke was exhaled, it seemed that some things that were about to be uncontrollable were also floated out, and finally dissipated.

"Your departure was a joint decision made by the higher authorities and your father." His voice was hoarse, and he smiled bitterly at Li Jingyan. "I don't know the specific reasons and conditions. What I received was a notice, not a discussion."

"As for the superior's order, you know that all we can do is execute it. Lao Li," he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really don't know about this matter, let alone Lao Xiao, we didn't hide it from you."

His eyes were sincere, with sighs and regrets vaguely lingering in them.

Li Jingyan smoked slowly, but didn't answer.

Old Gu knew that his doubts would not be dispelled by his few words, so he continued: "As for why I didn't go back to Jiangcheng directly, but went to Beicheng, I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely help. Lao Li, you were not only my subordinate, but also my brother, you were in the past, you are now, and you will be in the future."

Four eyes facing each other.

Li Jingyan's expression was still gloomy.

Lao Gu's heart sank and sank, he was still uncertain, he didn't know whether he believed it or not, but no matter what, he knew that he could only continue to make this lie go, at least now was not the time to reveal it.

"You asked Lao Xiao to check your wife's affairs, I know," he simply said, "I checked for a long time before, and there was really no useful information. Before she became the eldest lady of the Mu family, she was blank."

After a pause, his frowning brows eased slightly: "However, I may have some clues a while ago. I'm looking into it. Give us a little more time. Once there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible. Lao Li, you have to..."

"Still need to check?"

A cold sentence interrupted him.

Old Gu was taken aback.

"Old Li..."

The smoke between the fingers was half burned, and the scarlet was flickering, like a heart.

The corners of her lips were pulled slightly, and the deep coolness overflowed, and Li Jingyan gave a low snort: "She is very likely to be an undercover agent, but it's just that there is not enough evidence to judge."

Lao Gu's pupils shrunk.

Undercover?

He frowned again, and for some reason, an indescribable uneasiness rose in his heart.

He tried his best to calm down quickly, with a solemn expression: "What is the basis?"

However, what responded to him was Li Jingyan's deep gaze back.

Old Gu's heart skipped a beat.

"Old Li..."

Li Jingyan took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly: "What Lao Xiao first found plus my judgment."

Lao Gu heaved a sigh of relief, but he still asked, "Will it be..."

"She knew Lu Ye."

A calm sentence, as if there is no other emotion except indifference, maybe there is, but he will never let others notice.

Lao Gu's breathing suddenly stagnated!
He almost blurted out...

Fortunately, at the last second, he pulled him back calmly, and from the corner of his eyes, he felt that Lao Li had been looking at him quietly, and Lao Guhou unconsciously broke out in cold sweat.

He is testing him.

so close.

He almost jumped into his trap without knowing it.

Realizing this, Lao Gu quickly made a decision.

"If she is really an undercover agent, then everything makes sense. This is a very important clue," he nodded, his brows still frowning. It may be even more difficult to find out the real past, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find out for so long."

"But I promise," he looked at him suddenly, and said solemnly, "I will do my best to help you. At the end of the month...at the end of the month at the latest, I will come to Jiangcheng to find you in person with news."

This guarantee is a promise, and it is also a military order in disguise.

Li Jingyan looked at him with dark eyes.

Lao Gu didn't dodge in the slightest: "Old Li, you trust me, don't worry, I will find out as soon as possible." Thinking of something, he changed the topic without any trace, "As for what you said earlier about someone impersonating you, could it be Who did you offend in the mall after you returned to Jiangcheng?"

His worried expression is not fake, but it is indeed true.

"Old Li..."

Li Jingyan took a puff of cigarette, and said nonchalantly, "It's someone who offended someone in the mall, and it has been found out."

It seemed that he and Lao Xiao were worrying too much.

Thinking about it, Lao Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Glancing at his sight, he stood up: "I have to go, there will be a meeting later."

Li Jingyan didn't move.

"Old Li..." Lao Gu didn't care, he stared at him, with thousands of emotions flowing, and finally he just said, "If you need help, let us know, no matter what, we will help you."

After the words fell, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Old Gu."

"how?"

After the cigarette butt was extinguished, Li Jingyan looked at him with indifference and amusement: "You haven't told me whether I have lost my memory and whether Lu Ye and I are involved."

"No," Lao Gu hardly hesitated, he was very calm, followed by a solemn and serious expression, "Old Li, I still say the same thing, some things are confidential, I can't tell you."

"You mean, Lu Ye is a secret, no matter whether he is your undercover agent or the criminal you want to attack, right?"

The two looked at each other.

One dark, one calm.

Lao Gu nodded: "I can only say that you have nothing to do with Lu Ye. I can't reveal anything else. Lao Li, I hope you can understand."

He spoke very calmly, but no one knew that his heart beat faster for the first time, which created a kind of panic. However, in front of Lao Li, he had to calm down, especially at this moment.

"Any more questions?" He deliberately asked.

Li Jingyan suddenly laughed.

"No more." He said flatly.

"Okay." Old Gu nodded, "I have to go."

"Old Gu."

"Ok?"

Li Jingyan lit another cigarette, but this time he didn't smoke again, he just let the smoke drift away.

He said, "I'll be waiting for you in Jiangcheng, I hope you don't make me wait too long."

Lao Gu's heart shook violently!
"Okay." He tried his best to suppress and calmly said.

Then, he left.

Fortunately, Li Jingyan didn't stop him this time.

When he left, he looked the same as when he came, but he didn't dare to admit that his back was covered with cold sweat until he got into the car he drove and started it. Thousands of lies were needed to cover one lie.

The tense nerves finally relaxed, and he gasped heavily.

For the first time, I was extremely embarrassed.

……

hotel.

The dark red liquid spilled on the carpet, and the aroma of wine overflowed and invaded the air.

Li Jingyan's thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his face was more ugly than ever.

The glass was still poured at his feet.

Unusual, he kicked it away, and vented his indescribable anger.

He is very clear that Lao Gu is lying, he has been lying since the first sentence he came in, and there may be some truth, but it is just mixed with the truth and he thinks he can deceive him. There are too few truths, pitifully few .

Ah.

There was a strong suffocation in the chest rampaging recklessly, Li Jingyan roughly tore off the tie, and undid the top two buttons of the collar, but even so, it was still so stuffy that he had the illusion that he couldn't breathe.

Lu Ye... Who is it?
Is he Mu Shihuan's...

Once again, I want to smoke, but the cigarette case is empty.

The restlessness and bloodthirsty factor were even worse, Li Jingyan suddenly closed his eyes.

It was at this time that Du Shao's call came.

When connected, Li Jingyan's eyes were full of dangerous undercurrents: "Say."

His tone was extremely bad, and Du Shao subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Jingyan pursed her lips and remained expressionless.

Although separated by an extremely long distance, Du Shao clearly felt the chill emanating from his bones, or to be precise, it was a kind of eerie blood——

The dignified and elegant man seemed to be covered in blood, which made people tremble.

Du Shao wanted to ask, but he swallowed the words. As long as he didn't want to say it, no matter how hard he forced him, he wouldn't dig a word out of his mouth.

Forget it.

He thought about it, and started to talk about the business: "Li Kezhou refused to admit to your car accident abroad, he has a scapegoat, and besides..."

"I don't want the process, but the result."

A cold sentence, as if there were no other emotional ups and downs.

"Old Li..."

There was nothing else on the handsome face except the smoldering hostility. Although he tried his best to restrain the rage that was about to move, when he spoke again, Li Jingyan's tone was extremely bad: "Is there anything else?"

Du Shao: "..."

Having a headache, he frowned and talked about another important matter: "You asked me to investigate the cause of Mu Jingzhou's death before, and I finally found something. Someone is also investigating this case in private. It's not a recent incident. It's a bit suspicious. , but it is not yet possible to determine whether it is true or not, and I will find a way to find that person."

After speaking, there was no response for a long time.

Du Shao couldn't help wondering, what happened to him tonight?
"Old Li?"

Li Jingyan's eyes moved slightly, and he lifted his lips indifferently: "Got it."

A "hum" sounded, indicating that another call came in.

Li Jingyan took down the phone.

On the screen, the words "kiss my wife" flashed.

This remark was made by Mu Shihuan acting coquettishly and threatening to fail, so he angrily changed it himself.
