Some people, no matter what situation they are in, at any time and any place, attract attention.

This was the case with Xia Zuo who walked into the banquet venue with Li Daolin.

On the top of the hall is a chandelier winding into a chandelier. Xia Zuo stood under the light, as if the light was specially set up for him alone.

Cold as ice, radiant.

"Xia Zuo!"

Hearing the shouting, Xia Zuo turned his head and saw Li Chaoge not far away. A woman in a dark blue evening dress cast a begging look at him. Li Daolin also saw that scene and pushed Xia Zuo: "Speaking of it, you and you I haven't seen my sister for a long time."

"Yes."

In the eyes of the dignitaries who surrounded him, Colonel Nightingale saluted respectfully to his adoptive father of the president, and then turned around.

The glances that glanced at them were full of oppressive force. The dignitaries with cold sweat on their foreheads lamented to Li Daolin that the relationship between the siblings was so good, while jumping out of the way like panicked rabbits.

Xia Zuo, who had never known what it meant to give way to others, walked in front of Li Chaoge and Pang Anshan in a straight line.

"Good night, sister," Colonel Nightingale, who had only one expression in everyone's eyes, raised the corner of his mouth and showed a very shallow smile, "The concert is great."

"Really? I received your gift backstage, but unfortunately I was too busy to meet you at the time... Well, it's fine."

Pang Anshan, who was directly ignored, didn't interrupt, and he didn't make a sound until the siblings finished talking.

"Colonel Lee, nice to meet you."

At any rate, Xia Zuo, who had been struggling in the capital circle for three years, did not say who you are, which was full of provocations, but repeated Pang Anshan's words in a rigid manner, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Nice to meet you, brother of Pang Kyushu.

Xia Zuo didn't know why he suddenly thought of xd1001, in the very limited time he got along without being beaten, that artificial human who was taller than him always regarded himself as his elder brother.

Based on his own situation, he infers Pang Kyushu. Although he has never met Pang Anshan, Xia Zuo always thought that Pang Anshan must be better than Pang Kyushu in combat. Otherwise, how could he beat his younger brother? As a result, when he saw Pang Anshan now, he was also a sentinel. Although Anshan cannot be described as weak, as a civil servant, he is still very different from Pang Kyushu.

As a result, Xia Zuo wondered whether the two of them really had genes from the same parents.

The gray-haired colonel, who indulged his wild thoughts, didn't notice the silence.

He didn't answer Pang An Shanxin's polite words, and the proud young official with a good birth was treated coldly for a few seconds, his face turning blue and turning pale.

Although he agreed to Pang Kyushu's request for a relationship, the cyborg obviously didn't think that there was any change in his relationship with Pang Kyushu's relatives.

"Mr. Pang," only Li Chaoge broke the silence, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I want to have a word or two with him."

"Ah... Of course, the relationship between Miss Li and Colonel Li is really enviable. I also have a younger brother who has a rebellious personality and never goes home... I hope I can meet you again later."

He said the last sentence to Li Chaoge. Under the eyes of everyone, he held Li Chaoge's hand and kissed lightly on the back of his hand.

The corners of Li Chaoge's eyes twitched, and he felt that he heard the broken hearts of the girls around him.

It wasn't until Pang Anshan left and the siblings moved to the corner of the hall that Xia Zuo asked softly, "Sister, do you need a handkerchief?"

Wipe your hands.

Not to offend the Ke family for the time being, Li Chaoge said in his heart like a sigh, his face quickly changed into a joyful look, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, Xia Zuo...you are so tall."

Xia Zuo, who hasn't grown up in a year: "...Really?"

"Haha." Li Chaoge smiled softly.

When we came to Capital Star together, we were still a child who was not as tall as himself. Li Chaoge recalled with a smile, wiped it with a handkerchief, and it was still a child's wayward words.

The name of Colonel Nightingale is frightening in the circle of the capital, except for Li Chaoge, probably only Pang Jiuzhou would regard Xia Zuo as a child who doesn't understand anything.

The sigh only lasted for a short while, Li Chaoge opened the interference program so that others could not hear her, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that you yesterday..."

The news of the attack that happened during the concert was blocked, but it still happened on her territory after all. Although Li Chaoge didn't know the details of the incident, he only knew that Xia Zuo was attacked.

Xia Zuo came to the banquet today, and what he wore was not the suit she gave him, but a military uniform.

There are golden tassels and a medal hanging on the gray military uniform, which is brilliant, but Xia Zuo's face can make people only look at the face no matter what clothes he wears—even when he is wearing nothing—almost No one noticed that he had changed into his usual party attire.

This kid also wore the same outfit when he went to the concert yesterday. Was it scrapped in the attack?

Li Chaoge swallowed the last few words, and asked after a while: "Is it okay?"

"It's okay." Xia Zuo replied, the injuries were all flesh and flesh, and no internal organs were injured. With the medical level of the Federation, the treatment only takes a few hours, and he can't find a single scar on his body now.

... Even so, he did not take off the bandage that Pang Jiuzhou had wrapped around him before he left. If he rolled up his sleeves now, he could still see a corner of the white gauze.

Xia Zuo didn't even know why he did this.

The understatement of two words was obviously not the answer Li Chaoge hoped to get, but she knew that Xia Zuo would not say more what she wanted to hear, so she could only hold Xia Zuo's hand with a sigh.

"Protect yourself well, Xia Zuo."

After thinking about it, she added in a low voice, "Don't go crazy with uncle."

After saying this, she raised her head, and met Xia Zuo with inexplicably pitiful eyes.

"...Wait a minute," Li Chaoge held his forehead, "I'll get you something to eat, don't move."

"it is good."

Li Chaoge: "..."

If everyone knew that Colonel Nightingale was very easy to bribe, as long as he had something delicious... Forget it, it would be good for Xia Zuo to maintain this serious external image.

The national singer walked out of the corner, walked around the long banquet table, and brought back a big plate for Xia Zuo.

She was very skillful in taking food, all kinds of food on the plate were piled up into hills, but there was no trace of tampering at all on the dishes on the long table. Xia Zuo gave her a grateful look and took the big plate.

Ah, chocolate mousse.

Xia Zuo's eyes lit up.

Li Chaoge, who wanted to keep his figure, could only watch Xia Zuo gobble it up, and use his body to block some of his gazes.

After Xia Zuo cleaned half of the plate and finally slowed down to show a little good eating, Li Chaoge stepped aside.

"Speaking of which," the gentle woman said, "Xia Zuo, have you ever thought about who is going to attack you?"

Xia Zuo, who peeled off a large lobster, raised his head, his eyes were blank, "...Mr. Li's political enemy."

Li Chaoge: "Which political opponent?"

Xia Zuo: "I don't know."

Li Chaoge: "..."

Is this kid really a spy chief?

Before she could complain, Xia Zuo swallowed the shrimp meat and said seriously, "Isn't it just Zerg and Zerg-related spies that I need to deal with?"

Li Chaoge was taken aback for a moment.

She lowered her eyes and said in her heart, no, this is not enough, little Xia Zuo.

The woman called out her name: "Xia Zuo."

Xia Zuo: "Huh?"

Li Chaoge signaled the center of attention at the banquet with his eyes. An old man with white hair in military uniform said, "General Martin, Marshal Turan was the acting marshal a few years ago, because he has not completely retired. He was born in a federal family. Those standing are all old families who lost and declined in the first and second human-worm wars..." Li Chaoge's tone was cold, "They were also the regular rulers of the Federation before the human-worm war, and they always wanted to regain their former status."

She gestured to another group of people.

"The representative of the chamber of commerce, the president is the uncle of Marshal Turan. The economy has been very depressed in recent years due to the war. They may not object to the advocates of the war faction, but if they can use some methods in exchange for peace, they will definitely do it, and In their eyes, there is no difference between whether there is Gold Mercury that implements a planned economy... Maybe they will join the peace faction and cede Gold Mercury to the Zerg."

The last thing she gestured to was the well-known peace faction.

"Ke Ruhai Honorable Councilor, Uncle is currently the most powerful opponent in politics, Lieutenant Colonel Pang Kyushu seems to have told me that you and him are friends? He is Lieutenant Colonel Pang's grandfather, son-in-law Pang Chuan and grandson Pang Anshan are currently A symbol of the peace faction."

Xia Zuo: "Pang Kyushu..."

Li Chaoge: "Which side is attacking you? Or a combination of several forces? Xia Zuo, do you know?"

Xia Zuo shook his head silently.

"Xia Zuo," Li Chaoge patted his head, "My uncle, I'm afraid he can't protect you all the time. People are so fragile. I don't want you to not even know which side the attack is coming from when you protect yourself."

"Sister, you don't have to worry about me." The gray-haired colonel's eyes were full of confidence in himself, "I will live well."

A gentleness that he didn't know flashed in his green eyes.

I will live on, because someone said, teach me what love is.

***

Not far away, Pang Anshan threw the fragments of the wine glass on the ground.

Judging by the broken appearance of the cup, it seems that it was crushed due to excessive strength.

"Baby Anshan, why are you angry?" Mrs. Pang, who was covered in jewels, stood beside him, covered half of her face with a white feather folding fan, and whispered in the ear of her eldest son, "Do you really like this young lady from the Li family so much?" ?”

Pang Anshan lowered his eyes and replied sincerely: "Miss Li... Few people can not like it."

"Although she was born in the Li family, she is not Li Daolin's daughter after all, she is just a niece, and she is barely suitable for you," Mrs. Pang said critically in a strange tone, "Baby Anshan, you deserve the best, because you are his son."

Standing behind this pair of mother and child, Pang Chuan, who is known for his obesity, turned pale when he heard this.

Mrs. Pang turned her head and smiled softly at him.

Pang Chuan was in a cold sweat and said: "... shall we ask your grandfather to mention it to Li Daolin?"

"That's how it is," Mrs. Pang raised her head arrogantly, and took the hand of her eldest son, "Actually, there are many good girls, let me show you..."

The three of them didn't know that all their words fell into the ears of others.

Li Daolin withdrew his eyes, feeling speechless for the family of three who said something that would offend people in public and still didn't interfere.

"Cole's character is still the same even after 100 years."

Hugh Nobel stood beside him, "After all, she is the daughter of Councilor Ke."

"Hmph," Li Daolin frowned at the old man's name, "Did Councilor Ke really participate in the attack on Xia Zuo?"

"There is no evidence, but he is the most likely."

"Hmm..." Li Daolin pondered, "Xia Zuo has been too popular recently."

The chief of staff made a suggestion, "Or, can Colonel Li avoid it and go to the front line?"
