(Add more updates for @ranran)

When I heard Zou Guodong utter this cruel fact, I immediately felt a burst of anger bursting out of my chest, heading straight for Tianling Gai, and my eyes immediately turned red.

And then, I clenched my fist subconsciously, wanting to attack.

But Ma Yi'ao stretched out his hand and held me down again, telling me not to mess around.

I glared at him subconsciously, but found that Ma Yi'ao's eyes were serious, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on my head.

I looked at Master Wang Chao'an next to me again, and found that his face was calm, not surprised, and he obviously knew about it.

I dare to be the only one who was kept in the dark and foolishly believed in other people's nonsense.

After Zou Guodong finished speaking, he saw that the atmosphere in the venue was a little stiff, and he probably knew what was wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Why don't I go and pass it on for you?"

Wang Chaoan smiled and said no, we just wait here, you go, don't delay your work.

Zou Guodong didn't stay any longer, but left quickly and went into the small red building. After his figure disappeared, I looked at Ma Yi'ao, what's going on?

But Ma Yi'ao said: "No wonder Zou Guodong has always wanted to get close to Gongmen, but he can't always find a suitable position. This person really has a lot of small thoughts."

I was a little bit dissatisfied with his "talk about it" attitude, saying that's not what I was talking about.

Ma Yi'ao took a look at me, shook his head, and didn't say anything more. Instead, Wang Chao'an, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said, "She probably still has a grudge against me, so she deliberately avoided seeing me, so as not to lose her composure... "

Hearing Wang Chao'an's explanation, I suddenly remembered that from the moment we left the ward, our itinerary has actually fallen into the eyes of the Tianji Department.

As for the arrival of Wang Chao'an, as the person in charge of the Tianji Department, Empress Tian should know about it.

So once the concierge's attitude came out just now, Ma Yi'ao and Wang Chao'an actually knew that this would happen.

However, for me, they did not leave angrily because of such treatment. Instead, they patiently endured and waited silently under the ginkgo tree like monkeys in a zoo.

Thinking of this, I became more and more sad, and couldn't help but say: "Senior, I..."

I feel a little hot in my eye sockets.

Wang Chaoan smiled gently, saying that you were the cause of this incident, but the subsequent incidents have nothing to do with you.I came here this time just to settle a matter that has been hidden for decades. The cause and effect of this is on me, so you don't need to be sad.Be patient, kids, things are not what you think they are, take your time...

My mood is very complicated, but until now, no matter how many words I still can't say, I can only nod.

Who is not humiliated in life?
I think that in order to sell our company's potion, I stalked people for more than a week. I don't know how many rejections I suffered, but I didn't feel anything at all.

The reason why I feel complicated at this moment is that the person who was humiliated was not me, but the senior in the industry I respect the most.

I, Hou Mo, will always remember today.

Just when I was feeling sad, a person came from the Xiaohonglou, but it was Su Lie who had crossed paths with us.

He walked over, looking hurried, and said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry, Deputy Director Tian and I just came back from Yongtai. I heard that Teacher Wang is here. Deputy Director Tian told me to invite everyone to her Office, go, go..."

He cupped his hands and smiled apologetically, as if he really was done with his work. He seemed very polite, but in fact, he didn't feel embarrassed at all for leaving us alone for a long time.

It was the first time I noticed that his smile was actually quite fake.

But to him, whether it was Wang Chao'an or Ma Yi'ao, they both seemed very polite, chatted briefly, and said that they didn't wait long, and they just arrived.

Under the guidance of Su Lie, we walked into the small red building, and at this time, Zou Guodong happened to come down from the upstairs.

When he saw us, he nodded and said hello, but he didn't talk much, and walked away with us.

We came to the third floor, and under the guidance of Su Lie, we came to Queen Tian's office.

Su Liexu had received the instructions a long time ago, so he didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open. When I pushed Wang Chaoan into the office, I found that Empress Tian was standing by the window the whole time, with her back to us.

And from where she was standing, it was obvious that she could see us under the ginkgo tree.

In other words, Empress Tian has always been watching us for how long we have been standing under the ginkgo tree.

After Su Lie led me, Ma Yi'ao, Wang Chao'an and Xiao Zhonghuang into the spacious office, he coughed and said, "Director, someone is here."

"okay, I get it."

Empress Tian didn't turn her head back, while Su Lie turned around and left the office. I looked around and found that on the small round table by the window, there was actually a tall glass with residual red wine in it. Under the light, it glowed a little. .

After Su Lie left, Empress Tian turned around, her eyes swept over us, and finally fell on Wang Chaoan.

Then, she said calmly, "You are really hard to please."

Wang Chaoan laughed and said, am I here?
The simple two-sentence conversation between the two revealed extremely rich information, which made me a little dumbfounded, and Ma Yi'ao who was next to me was also a little surprised.

Only then did I understand that the news about Ujin should have been deliberately disclosed to us by Li Hongjun under the behest of Empress Tian.

Not only that, Empress Tian also intentionally let the horse dry for a while, forcing him to have no choice, and finally turned to Wang Chao'an for help, and Wang Chao'an had to carry residual poison and serious illness in order to let me get Wujin and pass the catastrophe smoothly. He traveled thousands of miles from Mang Mountain to Hu Jianrong City.

All of this was due to Empress Tian's calculations, and seeing Wang Chao'an's indifference, he obviously knew Empress Tian's intentions.

There has always been a tacit understanding between the two.

If the previous me felt humiliation, then at this moment, I realized that I might have made a mistake and misunderstood the matter.

At this time, Empress Natian frowned, and then said: "If you want to intercede for help this time, please come back. The White Tiger Secret Realm is very important to the country. It's open to public officials, so don't waste your time..."

Although she has become a leader in charge of the overall situation, her temperament has become more restrained, but her personal style has never changed. It is still so simple and direct. Personal characteristics.

She has always been like this, never changed.

No need to change either.

Empress Tian is as strong as ever. After making it clear that there is nothing to talk about, I thought Wang Chao'an would choose to leave, but he smiled and said, "No, I'm here, just to catch up on the old days... ah, you bring Let Xiao Hou and Zhong Huang go out and wait."

I didn't expect that Wang Chao'an would want to send us away, and I was a little dazed, but Ma Yi'ao reached out, hugged me, and led me away.

Although I didn't understand, I still followed Ma Yi'ao out, and the three of them came to the aisle. Unexpectedly, Su Lie guessed that we would come out, and was waiting at the entrance of the corridor.

He saw us and said with a smile: "My office is on the second floor, go and have a cup of tea with me. Yuqian Longjing is from the local area. I heard it is very precious, but I can't taste it. Help me taste it." Taste it and see if those boys lied to me..."

Ma Yi'ao laughed and said that I am not very good at tasting tea.

That's what he said, but he still followed, and I followed downstairs, but I knew very well that the reason why Su Lie was waiting here was probably because he was afraid that we would squat at the door and eavesdrop on the conversation between Empress Tian and Wang Chao'an, so he did it. will be so.

Although Ma Yi'ao said that he didn't know how to taste tea, he still followed in order to show his cooperation.

Su Lie's office is much smaller than Queen Tian's. There is not even a sofa, and the chairs are brought from the office next to it. The so-called Dragon Well in front of the rain is obviously not worthy of the name, but everyone pretends not to know and is absent-minded. Drinking and chatting absent-mindedly, it seemed very polite and enthusiastic on the surface, but their minds were all upstairs.

I don't know if it's the buildings here that effectively block the transmission of sound waves, or if there are some means and arrangements made by Empress Tian. Even with my hearing, I can't hear what's going on above at all.

At the beginning, I tried to listen to it, but later, I stopped caring about it and chatted with Su Lie about the progress of the case in the past few days.

He told us that the Tianji Department has not been without results in the past few days. In fact, Huang Quanyin's dens in Rongcheng, and even the entire Hu Jian, were taken away by them. Judging from the current feedback, basically It completely defeated the opponent's organization, and even obtained some branch clues in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangyin and Ganxi.

In a sense, the results are great and the results are remarkable.

But what is frustrating is that the long halberd enchantress and those inner court masters seem to have evaporated from the world, and there is no news.

Deputy Director Tian was very dissatisfied with this result, and had already reprimanded him several times in public.

Their pressure is really great.

After chatting like this for more than half an hour, there were footsteps in the corridor, and then the door was knocked. We looked towards the door, but saw Wang Chaoan, who was originally sitting in a wheelchair, appearing at the door at this moment. He waved at us and said, "Let's go, we're going back."

When Ma Yi'ao saw it, he jumped up and shouted in surprise, "Master, are you able to stand up now?"
