Power and Wealth

Evening.

It's eight o'clock.

Wang Fu Hotel, Dong Xuebin's business room, Chen Xuebin raised his head, his old arm held Dong Xuebin's arm tightly, his eyes looked at him.

“For the country, for the little bell, please. ”

“Well, I'll definitely think about it. ”

“I'll be waiting in the hotel lobby, and you can meet me later. ”

“Don't bother, Reverend Chan, it's too late. Please go home today. ”

“I'm worried about the little bell situation. I can't sleep either. Think about it. I'll be outside. I can wait as long as I want. ”

Chen Xuechai just went out trembling. Dong Xuebin hurried to hold his arm and send him out. He said he wouldn't make me do it. Isn't that what you made me do?

For the sake of the country - in one sentence, he pressed Dong Xuebin on his shoulder.

What could weigh more than this? Anyway, Dong Xuebin thinks it's gone!

After closing the door, Dong Xuebin walked back to the room alone, opened the window to breathe the fresh air outside, and his mind became increasingly tangled.

One cigarette... two cigarettes... three cigarettes... think of Han Jing's crying.

Thinking about Zhong Lizhen's life and death is unknown.

Think of an old scientist bowing.

Dong Xuebin sighed, squeezed out the cigarette butt, kneaded his head and rubbed it, then slapped his head hard. Isn't that hard for me?

Forget it!

That's it!

Dong Xuebin had made a decision in his heart. He breathed out and thought nothing more. He opened the door and took the elevator downstairs to the hotel lobby.

First floor.

In the lobby.

It's late, there's no one left in the lounge.

Dong Xuebin just walked over and saw Chen Xuekai and two 34-year-old middle-aged people sitting on the sofa waiting together. They seemed to come with Chen Xuekai, but from the look of their faces, they should be students or apprentices of Chen Academy of Sciences, probably also from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

“Xuebin?” Chen Xuekai saw him and stared into the past.

The other two men also looked at Dong Xuebin, measured him up and down, with some suspicion in their eyes, such a young man? Is he really capable of rescuing Li Zhen? You can't blame them for looking at people. This is inevitable for everyone. It's just human nature.

“Dean Chan.” Dong Xuebin walked up.

Chen Xuekai stood up with the help of two students, "Have you thought about it? ”

“Think about it.” Dong Xuebin said faintly: “I'm sorry, I still can't go. ”

Chen Xuekai's face changed slightly, “Do you really think about it? Your lovers call you Aunt Bell! Did you just have to watch Zhong suffer abroad?” Looks like Old Master Chen's relationship with the Xie family is really good. He said knowing Han Jing and Xie Guobang is certainly not bullshit, even these things are known.

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, old man, there's nothing I can do. ”

The middle-aged man next to him was angry: "The national interest is in front of us! Even if you don't think about Li Zhen's safety! Think about your country, too? Do you know what technology Li Zhen has developed? ”

Dong Xuebin looked at him, “I don't know, I don't want to know. ”

Another student of Old Master Chen pointed to his nose: "You're still a cadre! You... why are you so aware? ”

Dong Xuebin calmly said: “It's not that I'm unconscious, but that I have self-knowledge. I know it's useless for me to go, so I don't want to die. ”

The student drinks: "Narrow! That technology can be relevant…”

Another slightly older student touched him, "Don't talk too much! ”

Then the student shut up and stared at Dong Xuebin.

Dong Xuebin slowly said: “Master Chen, there are two more people, you heard my rumors are actually moisturizing. Everyone heard that blackmail, I definitely can't take it seriously, and I don't have as much skill as others have said. I know that I still have some, I have a wife to support, and my child is about to be born soon. I can't risk my life abroad because of this. You can say I'm selfish or say I'm nothing. I don't care. I only know what you're saying. I can't help you. I'm sorry. ”

“You…” said the student.

Chen Xuekai couldn't help but wave, “Just let's go. ”

The middle-aged man probably knew Zhong Lizhen. He couldn't help but say: "She...”

Chen Xuekai: “Xiao Dong doesn't have to go to solve the problem, so go back and think of other ways. ”

The student sighed and saw Chen Xuekai go. He had to follow him with another person.

Outside.

The student said: "Teacher, I don't think the director looks like someone who can do it. He doesn't even have the courage and sense of responsibility. He's not even suitable for a republican! ”

Chen Xuekai frowned: “People are willing, don't go online. ”

Another student also consoled herself: “I'm afraid he's not going to be able to get Li Zhen back. ”

Chen Xuekai shouted, “In nine lifetimes, no one will be sure to go. In fact, I have no hope of coming to him this time. ”

… a few people left.

Only Dong Xuebin, who had just been scolded by them, smiled at the hotel door and shook his head. Dong Xuebin said nothing, and turned around and went upstairs.

In the elevator.

The bell, the bell, the phone rang.

As soon as it looked like it was Han Jing, Dong Xuebin immediately answered: “Hello, Mom. ”

Han Jing immediately said: "Xuebin, where are you? ”

“At the hotel, Wang Fu, didn't I tell you? ”

“Mama just heard that Master Chen is looking for you? ”

“Uh, yes, there are two students of Academician Chen, who have just left. ”

“Academician Chen is an old acquaintance of our family. Li Zhen was also a student of Academician Chen, so he must be worried about Li Zhen, and he doesn't want Li Zhen's research technology to be acquired abroad. ”

“Well, I know, Reverend Chan told me. ”

“They must have heard something. Let's get you out of here. ”

“Cough, that's what I said. ”

“What did you say? ”

“What else can you say? I really can't go, and so can Huilan..."

“Well, that's good, you just want to go to Mom and you won't say yes. It's too dangerous. Even if you're good at it, Mom doesn't want you to risk it.” Han Jing faintly said: “And if you really go, if you don't tell anyone else, Huilan alone can overthrow our family. ”

“But there's Mr. Chan...”

“It's okay, Mom. Tell him they won't be looking for you again. ”

“Well, thank you, Mom.” With a tone of voice, Dong Xuebin said: “By the way, Mom, I forgot my phone charger, and now the battery is almost dead. I may not be able to answer the phone for two days. ”

“Did Mom find you a charger? ”

“No, I'll check with the charging service then. ”

The phone hung up and the elevator stopped ticking.

Dong Xuebin walked down the elevator and called Xie Huilan. "Hey, Huilan, I... ”

Xie Huilan shouted, "Where's the hotel? ”

“Well, get ready to go to sleep. ”

“Something wrong? ”

“Nothing, just to let you know, Uncle Er was choked up enough, don't talk to him like that anymore, Uncle Er didn't force me to take risks. ”

“I know, just give them a shot, huh. ”

“You, I'm tired of giving you a field today. ”

“Oh, that's it? ”

“One more thing, my phone is out of battery, no charger, I'll find a place to flush it down the day after tomorrow, and I might have to turn it off between. ”

“Well, the hotel should have, you see. ”

“Okay, the battery is dead. Stop it. Stop it. ”

After hanging up the line, Dong Xuebin sat in the rest area and made several consecutive phone calls. He called his mother, Aunt Xuan and others, without exception, all told them that the power was insufficient. After the phone hung up, Dong Xuebin glanced at the remaining 50% of the electricity, slightly sighed, stood up from the rest area in the corridor and walked towards his business room.

Behind, the elevator suddenly rang.

“Hey, Governor Dong?” Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei are back.

Dong Xuebin looked back, “Director Yan, Director Chen. ”

Yan Yizhi laughed and said: “Have you just come back? ”

Dong Xuebin nodded, “Yes, something happened. Come to my house? ”

“Okay.” Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei followed the past with suspicion.

… indoors.

Dong Xuebin looked at them, “I may have to go out tomorrow, and the hotel is no longer staying. I don't know when I will be back, my phone is dead, I may not be able to contact you. ”

Yan Yishi stunned, “Who are you? ”

“Just going out for a little while.” Dong Xuebin said positively: “If someone asks me, you say I went out to find a friend. If it's time for my return ticket in a few days, you don't have to wait for me. Just go straight back to Xinshui County and I will go back. I will go back when I finish my business. I will say no, it may be early, it may be late, I will say hello to you first. ”

Yan Yizhi shrugged, “Okay, you're busy, we know. ”

Dong Xuebin thought about it and explained a few more things. This allowed Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei to leave, and closed the door himself.

Phone book flipped.

Dong Xuebin called Xu Yan. The first sentence was, "Sister Xu, I want to arrange a flight abroad! ”

Yes, Dong Xuebin is ready to go to m country to save people, the interests of the country, the safety of his cousin, the tears of Han Jing, the petitions of older scientists, Dong Xuebin is a person with a touching surname. If these can not impress him yet, he is not Dong Xuebin. He is also angry at the actions of those old M's. However, the reason why Dong Xuebin did not tell Chen Xuekai was mainly afraid that Huilan would know, that his family knew that Dong Xuebin did not want others to worry, nor did he want Huilan to turn his face with his family because of his own affairs. Dong Xuebin had always been alone in his work. Anyway, Zhong Lizhen's location in the research institute had been recorded in his mind, so he was ready to go and try it out. If he could, Dong Xuebin would save his life. If he could not, Dong Xuebin would not want to die. Everything had to wait until he arrived.
