The Parliament Building, a 45 year old Russian style building, houses a 100 foot bronze statue of the founding father of the Caucasian Democratic Republic. He pointed to the sky like an ancient Roman deity, carrying a heavy assault rifle.
In the early hours of the morning, the rain and rain never cease.
Lin stood in front of the huge glass window and looked out, as if this ancient city was shrouded in a veil.
Mr. Theodore Lin, we meet again, "the door rang and someone behind him said.
Lin turned around and saw the wheelchair first, followed by the old man with lowered eyebrows. He sat in a wheelchair and raised his military cap to Lin Yang.
I'm very glad to see you safely back, "the speaker turned his wheelchair closer to him and extended his hand." I don't believe in God like he does, but if there is a God, please grant Peng Baoji peace in his soul
Lin didn't move, nor did he show any expression. He looked straight into the speaker's eyes and said, "I think you are the true leader of the doves, so it was you who was ultimately tasked with forming the cabinet. Even if Risong didn't die that day, it wouldn't be his turn
The wheelchair slowly stopped, and the two people were separated by several meters. The speaker slowly put his hand back on the armrest.
How did you discover it? "The speaker suddenly smiled.
You said something on the phone, I remember your voice, I remember the voice of anyone I've ever heard
I never expected you to notice the distorted voice on the phone, "the old man nodded." Nathan Mann reminded me not to underestimate his most outstanding student
Why protect the general? "Lin's voice was calm and without any fluctuations," Or was it a scam from the beginning
Back then, he was still useful to us, "the old man said slowly
You are a true politician
Thank you for your understanding, "the speaker raised the military cap in his hand." Don't think that Peng Bolji is a national hero and we are traitors who betray the interests of the Caucasus. It's just that Peng lives for his ideals, and we fight for our own interests
Lin stared straight into his eyes, and the old man did not flinch. The whole room fell silent, and the temperature seemed to suddenly drop. The bodyguard behind the old man pressed his hand on the gun handle in his suit.
Lin took a step forward.
A neat and uniform metallic sound, all bodyguards drew their guns at the same moment, some blocking in front of the old man, some squatting and aiming. They are all well-trained personnel who know when to maintain a high level of vigilance, and in front of this young man, many of them inexplicably feel their hearts beating faster.
The old man waved his hand to stop them, 'There's no need for this, Mr. Lin won't do anything foolish. He already knows our position, we are brothers in the same trench.'
Brothers in the same trench? I don't think so. I'm just a little tired and want to find a place to rest as soon as possible
But we are friends with L.M.A., otherwise you wouldn't have been sent here. I received a call from Dr. Man, and he said that from that moment on, his most outstanding student, you, will protect me step by step. "The old man smiled faintly.
Lin looked at the ground in silence.
You killed that Japanese pine and killed my son, "the old man whispered after a while.
Your... son? "Lin's body trembled slightly.
The old man turned his wheelchair to the window and silently watched as the rain poured down. "That Risong's mother was my classmate. When he was born, I was still studying for my degree at the First Military Academy of the Caucasus. That woman later left me because I didn't want to marry her. I didn't see him before he was ten years old, but he knew my name. At that time, I was the most prominent newcomer in the Caucasus political situation, just like the later Peng Baoji. That Risong admired me. When he was ten years old, his mother asked his uncle to send him to find me before he died of illness. And I couldn't adopt him. My wife was the daughter of my ex, and I had a lot of pressure
But I was determined to make him a man like his father, and that day Song also agreed to me. So I sent him to study in the United States and gave him the best education. I told him not to easily return to the Caucasus, and if he wanted to come back, he had to wait until he was confident that he would make this country his own. And I later realized that I needed him, someone I could absolutely trust to take over some power for me and stand at the forefront. I couldn't stand up to Peng Baoji on my own, I didn't have his enthusiasm, and in a sense, I didn't have his talent. That day Song agreed to me again. "He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment," Originally, when I won the election, he would become someone again through some complex procedures. My son
I didn't tell that Risong that I had invited L.M.A.'s guest, who was you. I don't think he needs to know, and when he found you, he mistook you for an enemy and was eager to counterattack. He is still too young. "The old man murmured, "This is the only loophole in the entire plan. When I discovered it, it was already too late
His figure was reflected in the huge glass window, and he reached out to stroke his gray hair at the temples, shaking his head slightly.
He turned to look at Lin and said, "Also, Mr. Lin, your estimation is wrong. That day, Sun Song did not have the authority to sign the assassination warrant against Balji. Although he forcibly signed it, it would not take effect. You don't need to rush to save Balji. To kill Balji, I must personally write it. That day, Sun Song signed it for me. He sensed the situation was critical and wanted to ensure 100% success. This child was just too impatient, probably waiting too long, right
He let out a low sigh and said, 'He wants to absolve me of my guilt. He's a good son, but he doesn't understand that no one can forgive his father's guilt.'
Isn't it sad that you sacrificed such an important thing for your power and status? "Lin asked in a low voice after a long silence.
Sad? "The old man chuckled softly.
There is no sadness in his laughter, but it is also by no means joyful.
He reached out and held a mobile phone in his hand.
Lin took it and opened it, placing it in his ear. The doctor's voice remained calm as ever: 'What Mr. Speaker said is a resolution of the Supreme Council. Please protect his safety.'
The phone hung up, there is no extra word.
The rain has stopped, let's go. "The old man turned his wheelchair and headed towards the door." Today is my inauguration ceremony, come with us, Mr. Theodore Lin
The bodyguards followed, and then Lin also followed.
