2084

The capital city is like a pearl. If Nanle Street is the most honorable symbol, then Tangshi Street is the most extravagant gathering. It is generously opened up to a school of landscapes, dotted with classical villas, and many mediocre things. When I got here, I suddenly became strange.Kang Ze's mansion is on Tangshi Street, and the vines and vines are blowing outside the gate, which is heavy and dense. Even in the capital where every inch of land is expensive, it has an unimaginable majesty from a distance.

As soon as Ling Yan entered the main entrance of the living room, the little demon scanned him. The electronic light on the snow-white cocoon shell squinted his eyes and happily circled around his feet. Ling Yan asked it where Kang Ze was, and it slapped him Lead to the tea room in the back hall.

Kang Ze seemed to have just arrived home, and Ms. He didn't know which banquet she invited him out of when she made a phone call. He said coldly, "Why are you standing there, go upstairs."

The second floor is his bedroom, Ling Yan stood under the stairs without moving.

You can't talk about things in the bedroom. He resisted and asked, "Is the study convenient? I have something to talk to you about."

Kang Ze locked his brows tightly, his expression was stern, Ling Yan showed timidity, for a moment he felt that he knew everything.

But he only gave him a quick glance at that look, and before Ling Yan could take a closer look, Kang Ze turned around.

He ignored his study's suggestion and walked in. This natural disregard suddenly angered Ling Yan. He stepped up two steps, trying to grab Kang Ze's attention straight-forward.

"Lv Zhiliang is preparing to run for the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Except for party members, the minority party already has [-] votes to support him."

Kang Ze has been the speaker for so many years, so he will not be ignorant of the meaning of these words. Sure enough, after hearing these words, he immediately stopped and turned around.

Ling Yan watched him with bated breath, trying to find any flaws, but the man on the second floor didn't seem to be affected at all.

Kang Ze held on to the mahogany handrail of the stairs, and glanced at him calmly.

In the shocking calmness, he said unhurriedly, "A Yan, generally speaking, I know what's going on in the party, but how did you know about today's matter?"

He threw the question back to him with all his might, and Ling Yan could only hear a thump in his heart.

It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that the people in front of him might not care about Lu Zhiliang, a clown who is a jumping beam. For one person, perhaps before Ling Yan knew it, he had seen countless backbench councilors who were disobedient, and also seen countless "forced palaces to steal seats".

Facing Kang Ze, he was still too tender.

Ling Yan's mind went blank, and he could only respond intuitively for a while, "Because I helped him get the votes."

Kang Ze smiled, as if he found it interesting, "He found you?"

"Yes." Ling Yan confessed, and Lu Zhiliang didn't even beat him when he sold it.

"But why did you help him?"

"Education Bill, you have been unwilling to sign for a long time, and you are about to push the cabinet into a hurry."

Kang Ze pondered for a moment, "How can I be sure what you said is true?"

Ling Yan didn't hesitate in answering, "It's only a dozen votes, you know best whether I can do it, there is no need to deceive you."

In the elegant and solemn front yard and backyard, the new classical ceiling lamps blocked the turbulent night. Kang Ze walked down the stairs, and walked down condescendingly under the thrilling lights.

This person's sense of oppression was so strong, Ling Yan met his gaze and tried his best to look calm.It would be a lie not to be timid, this man who once gave him hot power and cold punishment.Ling Yan was terrified.

I saw Kang Ze stop in front of him, and suddenly raised his hand to touch his face - this is what Kang Ze is used to, but Ling Yan didn't give him this chance this time, he tilted his head and avoided it .

Kang Ze's gesture froze, and at that moment Ling Yan was even ready to receive his slap, but the man in front of him didn't do anything, he put down his palm, and suddenly called out to him with mixed feelings.

He said, "I love you a lot, I didn't expect you to guard me like this."

There was a frightening fragility in his words, and for a moment Ling Yan even felt that he had heard it wrong.

Ling Yan was too tense.

He was like a frightened bird, until now he drew his attention to look at the man in front of him.

Only after seeing him did he realize that he had lost weight. He had lost a lot of weight. The days spent in the hospital drained his energy, and new white hair grew on his temples. Kang Ze looked down at him with gloomy eyes, Ask slowly, do you know that you haven't contacted me for a long time.

Ling Yan didn't dare to speak, he bit his lip, and his thoughts turned slowly: This man is 51 years old this year.

It was a kind of uncontrollable sadness. Ling Yan suddenly remembered that when he first saw Kang Ze, this man was tall and straight, and he was so eye-catching among the medical staff. He stopped him, as if he was praying for a savior. he.He was so powerful back then, he saw him take him with a strong posture, get him out of the hell of a mental illness center.

He obviously hates seeing himself getting old the most. After he was with him, he has been taking good care of himself, and he has never neglected to exercise, but he is still old, and his figure is still getting thinner day by day, and he can no longer be like before. Putting on a standard-cut suit that fit him well, Ling Yan could feel that he was exerting himself, even violently, when he was in bed with him at night. I can't do what I want.

It was a hopeless tragedy.

It turns out that no one can resist this kind of aging.It turned out that Kang Ze couldn't do it either.

When Kang Ze raised his hand to touch his cheek again, Ling Yan didn't hide this time.

He asked him slowly, "You can take the opportunity to bring me down, why did you tell me?"

It's not that Kang Ze couldn't see that this was not a kind reminder. A kind reminder should have happened beforehand, and Ling Yan was negotiating with him with a bargaining chip, but he didn't ask him about his bad intentions, but only asked him why he changed his course.

Ling Yan's eyes were sour, and he almost shed tears at that moment.

He obviously had a rigorous set of rhetoric, but when it came to his lips, he blurted out, "Because my heart has softened."

This is not the whole truth.The whole truth is that Lu Zhiliang backed down, and Ling Yan had little chance of winning.

But the phrase "soft-hearted" is also true. He misses his kindness, his teachings, the hand he reached out to him in countless desperate situations, and the trapped young people he rescued countless times.

The phrase "soft-hearted" also gave the situation room to turn around.

A complex look flashed in Kang Ze's eyes. Regardless of Ling Yan's true intentions or false intentions, he caught this move. The tears in his eyes hurt him. Intimidating, he suddenly gave up a step.

"I want to know who the twelve people you recruited are."

Lu Zhiliang had nothing to worry about, he wanted to directly draw his salary from the bottom of the pot.

With red eyes, Ling Yan took out a folded piece of paper, "I have a list here."

He didn't give it to him, he took two steps back on the stairs and stood at the bottom of the steps.

Ling Yan's weakness was only momentary, he stood in silence, not moving or speaking.

Kang Ze asked him, "What do you want?"

"Sign the bill."

"I'll ask you again, what do you want?"

He knew him too well, so he reached out and directly opened his hole card.

Ling Yan suddenly felt the pressure pressing down on him like a mountain, making him breathless. Those things he had longed for for a long time were so longed for that he was even afraid to speak them out. He suppressed the trembling of his lips and said word by word, "I I want to leave you."

Kang Ze gave him a surprised look, as if he hadn't realized that this child had really grown up until now.

He nodded, "Understood, you came to say goodbye to me."

The fledglings will leave home sooner or later, Kang Ze has long expected this day, but he just didn't expect this day to come so soon.As he got older, he paid more and more attention to the decency between people. He was actually very satisfied. The child in front of him did not choose the most tragic way, but used such a gentle and decent way to end the curtain call.

His eyes were lumps of uneven and crumpled paper, but he smiled gently and asked, "Are you in love?"

Ling Yan hummed lightly, and put the piece of paper on the floor, "I'll take the little demon away today, and I won't come here from now on."

"It's that kid from the Qi family?"

The moment he stood up, Ling Yan's hairs stood on end.

He didn't know where Kang Ze found out about it, but he suddenly didn't think about it, and blurted out his name, he was so rude, and there was a cold light in his eyes, "Kang Ze, I'm serious, he's not Meng Shichang. , if you touch him, I will fight you hard."
