Yanjing International Airport.

Ying Jue Ran had been waiting at the boarding office for twenty-five minutes, but the person he was waiting for had not arrived yet. His current identity is the lieutenant colonel commander of a certain unit of the Imperial Capabilities Force, and the regiment he led happened to be responsible for the security work near the South China Sea. If more than 260 years ago, his unit had another name - the Gyeonggi Imperial Guard.

But at the moment, the lieutenant colonel with a prominent status in Yanjing did not bring a guard. He sat alone on a bench with a cigarette in his arms and looked at the door intently.

Yanjing International Airport is still called "International Airport", but in fact, the flights that are open to countries now basically no longer exist. Because every time the isolation belt is broken, it consumes a huge amount of energy, and the empire does not have the ability to install such a generator for each flight.

Especially now, the outside world is in chaos, and it is even more impossible for civil flights to take off and land here. Therefore, this so-called international airport is currently equivalent to a private airport - for use by the powerful and wealthy people in Yanjing.

Therefore, most of the people who can work here have extraordinary origins and are more obedient than the top. Ordinary officials from the capital came here and could not see their smiles. As for ordinary people who have no status - sorry, you can't even get in.

However, after seeing five or six cigarette butts accumulated on the ground at Ying Jueran's feet, these people did not come up to remind him, "No smoking is allowed here." Instead, they pretended not to see him from afar, and looked at him from time to time, guessing who this person is waiting for here.

Because everyone not only knows that he is the "General Manager of the Imperial Guards of the Gyeonggi", but also knows that he is now the only heir of the Ying family - his elder brother has died in the chaos that happened several years ago near the palace. The old man of the Ying family used to be "Master Pingyang" and now he is "Duke Zhenguo".

The late emperor had only one son. The late emperor had no brothers. This means that there are no titles in the empire at present. As for the duke... there were no ones in the past, but now there is another one.

The empire is constitutional, the emperor is just a head of state, and the title of a noble is just a title - if you really think so, then congratulations, you must not be desperate about the world, you must still think that the officials of the empire are honest and the people are harmonious, and sin will eventually be punished. Justice will eventually be upheld.

But if you are as mature and sophisticated as the staff here, you will know what it means to have a new Duke when the new emperor has been trying to cut the title of nobles.

This means that the emperor has recognized that the most powerful and powerful second family surname "Ying" in the current empire.

As for the first family? Of course, the surname is Zhu.

So these people think the wisest way is not to bother the young master who looks in a bad mood. Of course, there are other people who have different thoughts - for example, when the young master looks in a better mood, they will find an excuse to say a few words, which may leave a deep impression on the other party.

Because with such thoughts, they were all curious about one thing - who dared to let him wait like this? I waited for more than twenty minutes?

This kind of curiosity eventually turned into anxiety and complaints - come quickly. When you come, this young master is in a good mood and everyone can go up and join in the fun.

But that person was very disrespectful. Thirty-five minutes passed, but there was still no one.

Gradually, people here also knew another thing - a small passenger plane was also waiting on the apron. The empire sent by the Empire to Southern Luzon on the passenger plane. The group of seven people from the mission were also waiting together.

Who is so faced?

Fifteen minutes later, they saw Ying Jueran throwing the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up.

Everyone's eyes followed him to look at the door - a woman came there.

Some people feel that they have realized it suddenly, but what follows is confusion. The woman at the door does not look like a beautiful woman, her skin is even a little rough, and she does not look like a spoiled lady. The people here have very poisonous eyes. Through her walking method, it is inferred that this young woman seems to have had experience in joining the army before, and the time has not been short.

But the problem is that even the gossipers can't make it clear which daughter of the capital meets these conditions.

Ying Ran took three steps forward and waited for the woman to come to him. He frowned slightly.

The person who came was light and simple, with empty hands and no luggage.

"You..." he said in an uncertain tone. "Have you thought about it?"

This woman is Hu Yanling.

If Li Zhen was present, he might still be slightly surprised. Because this is no longer the lively woman who was enthusiastic and demonstrated her superb shooting skills to him and was known as the Gun God. Now her temperament has become restrained and serious. There is often a cloud of sorrow between her eyebrows, as if there has always been a heavy stone in her heart, and a knot that can never be opened.

"Do you know why he did this?" Hu Yanling asked Ying Jueran a seemingly inexplicable question. But Ying Jueran knew that the one she said was Dai Bingcheng.

The lieutenant colonel looked slightly, avoiding Hu Yanling's gaze, and said in an admonishing tone: "What do you care about so much? This should be the result you want the most. Yanling, there will be no such opportunity for a second. If you miss it, you probably won't meet again in your life."

Hu Yanling also knew the one he said in Ying Jueran.

He is Du Qixi.

But it seemed that when she thought of this name, her sorrow would be a little more. Hu Yanling sighed slightly: "If you think we are comrades who have fought side by side, let me tell me a reason. Otherwise, I would not have run to Luzon inexplicably - just because of his words."

"'I don't want to ruin your life. You should know what you really want'--what is that? Dai Bingcheng thought he was God? If he wanted to leave alone, he could leave, and if he wanted to leave alone, he would still have to leave?"

Ying Jue Ran suddenly found tears in her eyes.

However, this discovery actually made him feel relieved inexplicably - at this time, being really strong and decisive was the least he wanted to see.

He looked at his watch, took two steps back and sat down. Then he looked up and said to Hu Yanling, "Okay. I'll just say what I know."

Then he patted the chair beside him.

Hu Yanling stood stubbornly for a while, and finally walked over and sat down.

Ying recklessly looked at Hu Yanling's eyes. His body leaned forward slightly, and the corners of his mouth were pressed down slightly. He sighed and said, "Director Dai, you know about him. He is not the kind of person who is born cold and ruthless and cold-hearted by nature. He used to have lovers, but after his lover died, he cut off that aspect of his mind. You can say that he is also cold and ruthless, but how can you know if it is because of too much affection?"

Hu Yanling moved her lips, as if she wanted to refute something. However, she still didn't say it when she saw Ying Jueran's sincere expression.

"I know what you are going to say." Lieutenant Colonel continued. "I have been with him for so many years, and I often want to say what you are going to say. But you and I are not children. You should know that many times a person cannot help himself, especially in his position. Du Qixi's affairs hurt your heart - and then hurt you again. You can think that in his eyes you are just an irrelevant little man. But have you ever thought that if he really thinks that way, why bother with you again and care about the affairs between you? Say the words you used to in the past? Will you assassinate him, and do you have any capital to betray him?"

Hu Yanling finally couldn't help but say: "You want to say good things for him - I can say these words too."

But Ying Jianran just looked at her sincerely: "This is what I said to my former comrades-in-arms. And I haven't finished it."

Hu Yanling hesitated for a long time between getting up and walking away and continuing the conversation, but chose the latter - she began to hate her weakness.

"If I were to say, Yan Ling, he was really caring about you - whether out of guilt or concern for an old subordinate. Sometimes he would mention you in front of me, and he said similar things. So I think he has been trying to remedy something - within his ability." Ying Jianran shook his head slightly. "For example, this time. This time, Du Qixi confessed to Luzon. Li Zhen was quite dissatisfied with Director Dai, which made him very passive."

"But I never expected him to make such a decision - he decided to send you to Luzon. When I told you about this, you asked me why I thought you would go there willingly, why did I think you still have that guy in your heart - to be honest, I really don't know, it was Dai Bingcheng who told me that you two have been in private. But he has always turned a blind eye."

Hu Yanling looked up, her eyes full of surprise - obviously she didn't know about this. She felt that she had done it secretly in the past.

Ying Ran smiled recklessly: "Don't get me wrong. You are a senior official around him. You need to accept some degree of surveillance within the scope permitted by law."

"So in my opinion, Yan Ling, why do you have to worry about a 'why'? After going to Luzon, the sky is vast and the earth is vast, you two can finally be together. No matter how long his hands are, you can't stretch out there. You can do whatever you want. Du Qixi and I are not very familiar with you, but I am very familiar with you. So I am very willing to see such a result-after all, there are not many of us left at the beginning, and I really hope to see one of my comrades no longer as frown as we are now."

Hu Yanling pursed her lips and said, "But do you believe he did this just because of 'guilt'? I don't believe it. I don't want to be treated as a pawn like Qixi, and I don't know what he did."

Ying Jianran was silent for a while and lowered his head. Then he seemed to make a decision and said in a low voice: "You and I are both capable people. You know the situation of people like us."

"Director Dai is fifty-six years old this year."

"He has been coughing up blood since three months ago."

"You should have discovered that he has rarely dealt with serious matters recently."

Hu Yanling was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "You mean-"

"People always have such a day. But people like us come faster." Ying Yan said meaningfully, "You should grasp the present. Maybe he just regrets that he didn't grasp the past. So he doesn't want to see you like this."

Hu Yanling was stunned for a while. Of course she knew that everyone had such a day. But the problem was that even though she had deep and obscure resentment towards the "Director Dai", she never really thought that that man who was as powerful as an insurmountable mountain would die!

"But...but..." she murmured to herself, and then asked Ying Jueran, "How long will he have? I haven't noticed it at all!"

"I don't know. But there won't be much time left."

Hu Yanling was silent.

Ying Jueran also stood up and put his hand on her shoulder: "You don't have to be sad..."

However, Hu Yanling suddenly laughed: "I'm not sad at all. I'm quite happy now - board the plane and go there?"

Ying Jue Ran was slightly surprised, but then said, "Yes. I have been waiting for you for almost an hour."

"So goodbye." Hu Yanling turned around and walked away without saying a word.

Ying Jueran watched her back disappear at the boarding gate. Then he sat down and sighed - in fact, he didn't know much about what he was sighing.

Ten minutes later, the plane took off. Fifteen minutes later, Ying suddenly received a call from Dai Bingcheng.

"Is it done?"

"Yes. She boarded the plane. The plane had taken off."

"good."

"…You don't want to know what she said before leaving?"

"No interest." Dai Bingcheng said, and then hung up the phone.

Three days later, another plane took off from Yanjing International Airport. But there were no civil servants on this plane, only four ordinary people - they even took the plane for the first time.

These four people are Qi Yuanshan, Qi Lingling, Yu Yongqiang, and Yu Yongqiang's wife Shen Ci.

Staff from a government agency found them two days ago and asked them if they had the intention to immigrate to Southern Luzon - this was simply strange. Only people had ever gone to immigration agencies to apply for immigration, but they had never heard of people from government departments coming to their doors.

But Qi Yuanshan quickly figured out why. There was only that person who could care about him specifically.

Then they found that the staff responsible for their contacts knew their situation more in detail than they themselves, as if they had been staring at them every day before. Qi Yuanshan was a little slow to do this. However, Yu Yongqiang's words shocked him and broke out in a cold sweat - "You said, we weren't being monitored all the time before, right?"

Because of this sentence, and what Li Zhen said to him on the phone - "I can finally take you over" - the four of them boarded the plane without hesitation.
