In the conference room of the Downs County branch in Northern Ireland, Jiang Qian met his old leader Ji Ming after a year-long absence.
Of course Jiang Qian knew why Ji Ming came, and he had the secret information about Hui Jin abroad.
But for Ji Ming to contact him personally, it must involve a lot of action.
From Jiang Qian's perspective, Ji Ming's external changes were not significant.
She had gorgeous tinfoil-permed blond hair, paired with a burgundy cardigan suit, and still had that indifferent face that kept strangers away from her. Even when she saw her proud subordinates who were once famous for their official performance, they never showed the slightest enthusiasm.
.
On the contrary, the projection of its internal energy structure has undergone a qualitative leap.
In the past year, Ji Ming has successfully passed through the "Heavenly Tribulation" from the fifth state, the complex body, and crossed the realm to the sixth state, the conceptual body. However, his originally weird "double hourglass" energy structure projection has once again appeared.
Change - simply put, "two become one"!
The attached inverted cone-shaped five-state energy structure that was originally attached to the right side of his main energy structure is no longer there, but it does not necessarily disappear out of thin air. Rather, it seems that the "attached body" has been integrated into the original "main" energy structure.
In the three levels from the fourth state to the sixth state, Ji Ming's main energy structure has been thickened and reinforced.
As a result, the fourth, fifth, and sixth state cross-sectional areas of the energy structure projection presented in Jiang Qian's field of vision are wider than the normal energy structure projection!
According to Jiang Qian's understanding of "power", Ji Ming's fundamental strength in the fourth, fifth, and especially sixth states is already far above other elders...
Fortunately, the base of his energy structure is stable enough, otherwise the risk of collapse of such a top-heavy structure is still very high... Jiang Qian sighed secretly.
"Don't use the Qianlong, I'll leave it to you first, let's talk about old times." Yongye Chongming left these words and then disappeared into the invisible.
"Okay." Ji Ming replied.
Speaking of which, Yong Ye Chongming used to be Ji Ming's leader, but he didn't turn out to be very enthusiastic.
From this point of view, Ji Ming still has some advantages, such as treating everyone equally.
Now, Jiang Qian and Ji Ming were the only two people left in the conference room.
Ji Ming stared at Jiang Qian again. His left eye was still covered with the silver lion-head-textured eyepatch. His dull right eye "gazed" at Jiang Qian and asked without warning, "What did you see?"
Jiang Qian was slightly startled.
After meeting him again after a long absence, he didn't expect Ji Ming's first words to him to be so casual and sudden.
Just like the day before, the two were discussing the case in the conference room of the Jinping Operations Department.
"Your energy structure has changed."
In front of Ji Ming, who is also an "unconventional" ruthless character, Jiang Qian felt that there was no need to beat around the bush and speaking directly would save trouble.
"It has changed, and the heavenly calamity has changed."
Ji Ming responded, and then said: "In your eyes, is my energy structure getting better or worse?"
"It's getting better. The two inverted energy structures have merged into one. Although there are still hidden dangers in terms of stability, it is much better now than last year's hourglass structure."
"Integrate into one..." Ji Ming considered Jiang Qian's words, pulled out the seat, "You can sit too."
Jiang Qian then pulled out the seat next to him and sat down opposite Ji Ming.
The topic did not go any further.
After a brief silence, Ji Ming revealed the purpose of today's meeting: "Why do you think I made a special trip to meet you?"
"Ashes needs to make big moves abroad, including the Great Rift Valley in East Africa and a god-ascension ceremony." Jiang Qianyan pointed out the key words concisely and comprehensively.
These all come from the intelligence center of the Eastern "Little Dragon God".
"You guessed it right."
Ji Ming didn't beat around the bush. While nodding in approval, he took out a plastic-sealed photo from his suit pocket and showed it in front of Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian took a closer look and saw that it was the old photo he found from the "Life and Death" styling store last year!
Relevant memories poured out...
He clearly remembered that this photo was found in the store of Wang Fugui, the owner of the "Emergency" card. At that time, Dr. Dai, who also came out of the "Ace" copy, was also looking for this photo. In the end, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was
He cut off Hu by accident.
In this mysterious photo, in addition to the two persons involved, Wang Fugui and Dr. Dai, there is also a man and woman whose faces have been removed.
And on the back of the photo, there are four words marked-"Jiangyang Thief"!
At that time, Jiang Qian suspected that this photo was related to his missing brother Jiang Yang, but he soon discovered that it was an error and later put it aside...
Now that he saw Ji Ming taking out this photo, Jiang Qian felt a little sad, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"Do you still remember this photo of the 'Riots' gang?"
"Remember, it was a non-governmental organization that was later absorbed by the Southern Ashes."
"Well, that's what we say externally."
Ji Ming said to himself and moved his fingers to reveal another identical hand-drawn copy under the photo!
Jiang Qian looked intently.
In the hand-painted copy of the photo, Wang Fugui and Dr. Dai stand vividly, highly consistent with their appearance and spirit in the original old photo.
However, the appearance of the "faceless" man and woman standing side by side with these two people has been filled in with delicate brushstrokes. Among them, the appearance of the man made Jiang Qian's pupils tighten unconsciously!
"He..." Jiang Qian's pupils shrank slightly.
There was no mistaking it, the appearance of the "faceless" man dramatically overlapped with the face he hated most when he was a boy!
That was Jiang Yang, the eldest son of Jiang who had been missing for many years.
On the hand-painted copy, Jiang Yang is standing among the four people with a defiant expression.
His skin color was one to two shades darker than the other three. He was wearing a black shirt, camouflage pants and lace-up leather shoes. He was hugging his shoulders and being cuddled up against the neck of the girl with small and delicate features next to him.
"When...was it restored?" Jiang Qian couldn't help but ask as he stared at the two photos.
He had chosen to join the Ashes project team just for this photo, but he had never heard about the recovery of this photo.
"I know you have been following this case."
Ji Ming answered the wrong question:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But this case was beyond your knowledge at the time. So you have only had the opportunity to see this until now."
"So..." Jiang Qian slowly raised his head and looked at Ji Ming, "You have known about my relationship with him for a long time, and you also know why I joined the Ashes Investigation Team?"
Ji Ming did not answer directly.
But Jiang Qian already got the answer from Ji Ming's indifferent reaction.
Restraining the surge of blood in the burning fire of Red Lotus Industry, Jiang Qian quickly straightened out his thoughts:
It seems that Ji Ming not only knew about his relationship with Jiang Yang at that time, but also had a good understanding of his motives at the time. But in fact, Ji Ming did not expose or embarrass him because of this, but instead gave him some advice on this matter.
He fully tolerated me.
This is unreasonable.
Is it because Ji Ming knew that he and Jiang Yang were both descendants of plum blossoms who stepped on the snow?
"Is he Ashes?" Jiang Qian broke the silence.
"No," Ji Ming said solemnly, "he is an official member of the Lawful Order."
Jiang Yang is actually a lawful official!
Now it makes sense...
Jiang Qian's mind was racing: As a member of the lawful official, but as a member of the free organization "Jiangyang Gang", the entire team was packaged to join Ashes. Isn't that an undercover agent placed by the lawful official in the Ashes organization?
However, Ji Ming added immediately: "At least, it used to be."
"Was it?" Jiang Qian frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
Since Jiang Yang was an undercover agent assigned to the Ashes organization, a spy walking in the darkness...then why is it "once"? Could it be that the stupid Jiang Yang had already encountered an accident in action and died heroically?!
Therefore, as a biological brother, he finally has the "authority to know" about this matter...
Jiang Qian tried his best to sort out the joints in these few words, and came to an unoptimistic conclusion.
He couldn't explain what he felt in his heart.
Whether Jiang Yang is missing or dead, it will obviously not have any impact on his life, but he is inexplicably depressed.
"It's not what you think."
Ji Ming sighed imperceptibly and said: "Jiang Yang is still alive, as the great protector of the Ashes Ascension Ceremony."
"?"
"It's just that something unexpected happened."
Facing Jiang Qian's suspicious expression, Ji Ming continued to explain:
"Before you joined the official team, Jiang Yang was already a mature license holder of the Predator family. He joined the Ashes organization as the official 'dark son' and became the core of the Southern Ashes organization during his years of operation.
figure."
"The 'gang thief' referred to in the old photos is the 'cover' your brother made in order to join the Ashes. Of course, Doctor Dai and Wang Fugui know nothing about your brother's identity. They were all involved by chance.
People, the endings of these two people can only be attributed to their own cause and effect."
"Now, Jiang Yang has become the core figure of the Southern Ashes faction. He has been monitoring the so-called Ashes ascension ceremony for the lawful officials. He has also provided intelligence to the officials on previous key incidents."
Ji Ming looked at Jiang Qian:
"For example, when your mutation healing technology became famous and you were pursued by many parties, Jiang Yang provided key information to the authorities to ensure your personal safety."
After hearing this, Jiang Qian's expression did not change.
But his racing heart was beating in his chest, seeming to remind him that the name "Jiang Yang" and the person it represented were not as irrelevant as he imagined.
"Ashes is a paradise for extremes. Under the guise of self-disciplined elites, they are full of animalistic unruliness and madness... Anyone who stays in such an environment for a long time will inevitably be infected by its internal atmosphere. Jiang Yang is in Ashes
Stayed long enough..."
"What do you mean?" When Jiang Qian asked, he had already guessed a certain result.
It is more pessimistic than the previous guess.
"This is why I came to see you."
Ji Ming said:
"The official joint action against the Ashes organization is imminent, but your brother Jiang Yang suddenly lost contact with the organization at such a critical moment. In fact, he had shown abnormal mental status earlier, but
Because his position is very important, the family did not end his mission as scheduled."
"Now it seems that there are two possible reasons why Jiang Yang lost contact: first, he was too deeply affected by Ashes and could no longer look back; secondly, his true identity was exposed, he was controlled by Ashes, and he even encountered
Unexpected."
Ji Ming paused: "I'm sorry."
"No need to be sorry." Jiang Qian replied expressionlessly, "I'm not his guardian."
He knew that was not what Ji Ming was going to say.
Sure enough, after a short silence, Ji Ming continued:
"No matter what the outcome is, it means a serious situation for the officials and the people who are threatened by the Ashes organization. Without Jiang Yang providing intelligence, in this East African operation targeting the God Ascension Ceremony, we will become
If you are deaf or blind, you will be unable to do anything about the evil behavior of the Ashes organization."
"Fortunately, Jiang Yang is not the only clue we have about Ashes' ascension ceremony."
Ji Ming looked at Jiang Qian again, and his dull right eye seemed to be filled with some expectations that were unfamiliar to Jiang Qian:
"The reason why I came here this time is to deploy and execute the East African operation of the Ashes Ascension Ceremony. The reason why I took a detour to see you is to inform you about Jiang Yang's relationship with the Ashes organization, and to borrow the intelligence resources of the 'Little Dragon God'.
"
This is the result Jiang Qian expected to hear.
Ji Ming came for Hui Jin’s information, but why did he have to tell him the details of Jiang Yang?
"There is no problem with intelligence resources. My resources are official resources."
Jiang Qian then hit the nail on the head and said, "Shouldn't Jiang Yang's identity be highly confidential information? Why did you choose to reveal everything to me at this time?"
Ji Ming said bluntly: "I hope you can avoid suspicion for this operation."
Jiang Qian understood.
Ji Ming didn't want him to be deeply involved in the operation because he was afraid that unnecessary variables would arise due to blood ties! So he only needed his assistance with intelligence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the other hand, his current identity is obviously more important than Jiang Yang who is trapped in ashes.
As the holder of the "Dragon" card that the ten lawful tribes have devoted a lot of resources to fully support, Jiang Qian is a key player in breaking through the theoretical limit of the seventh state! And now Jiang Yang is already a "abandoned child" and is likely to
Being abandoned or killed at critical moments.
And these results are something that a younger brother like him should not see.
In any case, the lawful ten tribes would not like to see Qianlong Wuyong fail in any way.
"Jiang Qian, I can promise you that no matter what situation Jiang Yang encounters, I will try my best to ensure that he is brought back safely." Ji Ming looked at Jiang Qian who was already "absent-minded" and promised seriously.
But Jiang Qian smiled and shook his head: "Don't care so much about what I think. In fact, my relationship with him is not that good."
Ji Ming fell silent.
Jiang Qian today is not normal enough.
At any time before, Jiang Qian would never have expressed his true attitude so nakedly.
He was eager to express that he had no concern for Jiang Yang's safety, as if he was trying to cover up or fight against a certain inner mentality, and he had completely ignored the opinions of others.
Of course he doesn't need to care about reputation, and he doesn't rely on reputation to make a living.
Even if he was indifferent to his brother's life and death, the lawful officials would not fire or punish him for this.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing that Ji Ming remained silent, Jiang Qian even took the initiative to issue an order to expel the guest.
"That's all." Ji Ming stood up.
"please."
It's rare that the two of them can still be polite to each other during this conversation.
However, when Ji Ming walked to the door of the conference room, he turned around and said to Jiang Qian: "I know, but I will still fulfill my promise."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Qian also turned around, with a hint of evil in his tone, "What do you know?"
"I know the relationship between you brothers has always been very bad."
"Oh?" Jiang Qian sneered, "Did Jiang Yang tell you?"
Ji Ming groaned: "Although Jiang Yang was once my colleague, he never mentioned any of his relatives."
As he spoke, he looked sideways into Jiang Qian's eyes: "You told me."
Nonsense... A sneer appeared on Jiang Qian's face: "What did I tell you?"
"Tell me, you will not only provide intelligence, but also find ways to intervene in this operation, in order to personally bring Jiang Yang back to Jinping. Even if you bring back a corpse." Ji Ming said calmly.
There was no surprise, no so-called sense of moral oppression, Ji Ming's attitude was as if he understood that this was how it should be.
So this time Jiang Qian remained silent.
More importantly, what Ji Ming said is indeed his true thoughts at the moment: to find a way to intervene in Ji Ming's deployment and personally carry out goals other than official tasks - to bring Jiang Yang back to Jinping!
Even if Jiang Yang is insane and on the verge of mutation, even if it's just a corpse...
Why?
Because his family is praying for him to come home every day!
An old man in his seventies can hardly even remember his own birthday, nor can he forget whether his eldest grandson who has left home has grown another year...
The conference room was eerily quiet.
When Ji Ming was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Qian's voice stopped him again - "It's your conceptual power, right?"
At this point, the corners of Ji Ming's mouth turned up unnoticeably.
