lyra sleepless

"Has he come back?" Helian Ding stretched his arms, let his attendants remove the cloak for him, closed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

The Chiron draft of Cerberus was the first time after the war in Lyra. The matter was brought to the head of the consul, and no one dared to take it lightly. Therefore, the Council of Elders, the Consulate and the military launched a joint investigation. The highest level The chief officers have all gathered in this wild land on the border.For a while, there was a lot of panic, and everyone was in danger.

Helian Ding has had a hard time these few days, Cerberus is not his home game, You Jing is aggressive and tit-for-tat, You Zheng looks on coldly, speaks little, and occasionally stands by his brother's side when he speaks calmly. .He originally planned to abandon the pawn to protect the commander, and blamed the case on the vice president of the chamber of commerce who had mysteriously died, but You Jing, like a dog with bared teeth, insisted on pursuing the investigation to the end, and Helian Ding had no choice but to cut off his arm. , throwing away more pieces he laid out.

His face became more and more gloomy day by day, and every day when he came back to his residence, the first thing he said was to ask, "Has he come back?"

He brought the entourage from Orpheus, and he knew that his temperament was capricious, so he answered "no" with more trepidation every day, for fear that Helian Ding would suddenly explode and take his anger out on others.

Today, he was in a particularly uneasy mood: "I'm back! I just came back not long ago, and I'm waiting for you in the study."

The muscles of Helian Ding's whole body tensed up, his breathing became heavy, he waved away the attendants around him with one hand, and strode towards the study.

The entourage looked at his retreating back with worry, and he always felt that something was about to change today.

Yegor was reading a book, Orpheus had few paper books, but Cerberus had many.His slender fingers caressed the pages of the book, like a butterfly just catching a flower, and there was a trace of quiet longing in his focused expression.

After Yegor grew into an adult, Helian Ding had never seen him with such an innocent and relaxed expression. He stood quietly at the door of the study, not recovering for a moment.

When Yegor realized his existence and raised his head, Helian stabilized his mind, walked over quickly and squatted down, held his calf, and asked with concern, "Is the leg completely healed?"

Yegor retracted his legs, but they were firmly held down. He said uncomfortably, "Okay, the doctors in the military department are very conscientious."

"I will thank You Zheng well some other day." Helian Ding smiled without thinking, and his tone took Yegor under his wing as a matter of course, which made Yegor feel conflicted.

"Helian Ding," Yegor called his full name solemnly for the first time, "I have something important to talk to you about."

Helian Ding's gentle and gentle expression gradually disappeared. He calmed down, and the usual gloomy and oppressive expression returned to his face. His nose twitched imperceptibly, as if he had sensed a dangerous beast and had already made up his mind to kill it. determination.

He looked at Yegor again, calmly like an abyss, the abyss suddenly opened, Helian Ding outlined a deep smile: "I also have something important to tell you, brother first, is that okay?"

Yegor hesitated for a moment, and he realized vigilantly that Helian Ding could not be allowed to control the negotiation situation at any time, but it was already too late.

Helian Ding took out a ring as if by magic, and said with a meaningful smile, "I found the ring you lost."

Yegor's whole body was shocked, and he looked at the ring in his hand in horror. The blue ground ore was like the poisonous teeth of a snake, and the dim light stared at him.

Helian Ding was still in a hurry: "Although this little thing is worth nothing, it is not good to change an engagement ring." He seemed to be pointing, "It didn't take much trouble, two thieves stole it , will be tracked back soon.”

Yegor remembered where the blue ring went. When he was investigating privately with You Jing, he casually threw it to the little interstellar wanderer who was secretly planting Chiron grass. He couldn't help saying: "Helian Ding, that is Two children!"

The moment he met Helian Ding's calm gaze, Yegor suddenly understood everything.

The vice-chairman of the chamber of commerce scrambled inside and out, colluded with the governor of Cerberus, and committed the Chiron draft, which was nothing but nonsense to fool the investigation team.

A businessman, together with a local official with little real power, how could they have such great energy to build a drug industry chain from Cerberus to Lyra without anyone noticing? Needless to say, they even Chiron No grass seeds are available.

Who has the ability to take the Chiron grass from the national laboratory without disturbing anyone, and has the skills to turn the vice president and the governor into puppets in front of his own stage?From hiring workers, planting, production and processing to black market sales, in this complete business chain, if any step goes wrong, all previous foreshadowing operations will be destroyed.There are quite a few people in Lyra who have the ability to reach the sky, and Yegor may be one of them, but he doesn't think he can complete all the arrangements silently.

So, there is only one person, and it will only be one person.

"How could you..." Yegor struggled to spit out these words, and couldn't continue. His eyes were cracked, and Helian Ding still had a faint smile on his face, but those eyes But it was cold, like an endless abyss.

He has never been able to understand Helian Ding, but Helian Ding in his eyes has never been as terrifying as this moment.

Helianding is ambitious, unpredictable, and ruthless. This is not a fault. A political leader should be a wolf. He will defend the country as decisively as he strangles his political opponents.

But Helian Ding is the mastermind of the drug trafficking case, which has a completely different meaning.

"You are betraying Lyra and killing its people! When you became the elder, you clearly swore to protect all of this!" Yegor said in a low voice.

"For this purpose, we can do whatever it takes." Helian Ding answered him calmly. "You too, Yegor."

"But I will never do such a thing. Don't make excuses for yourself. Your drug trafficking is purely for personal gain."

"I don't need this money. It's just that there is always darkness under the sun. Since it is unavoidable, why don't I make the rules of darkness. At least they will become controllable."

Yegor sneered: "So it's not just this one? What kind of business are you still doing, illegal arms trading, red light district, smuggling, slave trader? Are you the elder of the Lyra or the leader of the gang?" Helian Ding said nothing , as if acquiescing, Yegor felt a chill gushing from his heart.

"I don't know you anymore." He took two steps back, shook his head, his eyes were dazed. "Helian Ding, where is your bottom line?"

"Are you talking about the bottom line? Little Yegor." Helian Ding answered him gently and quietly, "I don't have much of that stuff, and I gave it to one person."

He spread his hand, and the ring shone brightly in his palm: "Over the years, I have kept many things from you. But I told you all today. Because of Yegor, you are the one who will stand by my side for the rest of your life. I watched you grow up, and I know what kind of ruthless child you are. If you can't tolerate the secret business, the business that endangers this country, I don't have to do it. But the premise is that you are on my side—— He stopped talking suddenly, and then spat out two words cruelly, "Forever."

Yegor's face became pale and bloodless in an instant, and the fresh expression brought to him by this happy time full of anticipation withered like a flower that dried up in an instant.

He just repeated silently in his heart over and over again, Helian Ding knew it, he knew it.

Yegor is a doll carved by himself, and no one knows Yegor better than him.Yegor's stubborn way of staggering to block the gun that day was not enough for him to guess the story, but it already gave him a premonition that the child's wings were hardened and he was about to fly away.

Calmly, when Yegor had a showdown, he showed his trump card and showed the fangs of the beast.

Neither of them may have heard the fable on Earth where two women fought over a baby in front of King Solomon, and the one who let go first was the real mother.Yegor is willing to hand over the Lyra to the ambitious Helian Ding, but what if Helian Ding changes hands and pushes the entire Lyra into the abyss?

Helian Ding didn't care, but Yegor did.

Yegor has never been able to win his chips, he is not a bird with stiff wings, he is just a lonely kite, the other end of the line leads the country, whoever controls the Lyra, whoever catches it Yegor's deathbed.

Helian Ding grabbed Yegor's wrist, and Yegor shrank subconsciously. He looked up and saw his expression, but the wrist did not retract after all.

The corners of Helian Ding's mouth curled up slightly, he knew he had won.

He gently put the ring back on Yegor. The huge sapphire set off Yegor's slender fingers, giving him a sense of graceful fragility.Once again he was grateful for how well he had raised the child.

When he saw Yegor's photo for the first time.

A drop of water fell on the mirror surface of the ring, and then it shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions on the unfathomable blue.Helian Ding looked up at him unexpectedly, and said gently: "There's nothing to cry about, I've already stopped those businesses." He raised his hand to firmly hold Yegor's face, wiped away his tears, with He got up and said casually: "By the way, there is still someone outside who wants to see you. If you keep crying, the image of our Secretary-General will be completely finished."
