647: Substituting one thing for another!

Plans always have oversights, some are destined, he is powerless to change them, he can only sigh about his bad luck.

However, attributing everything to luck is a great humiliation for Lyon.

For someone so skilled at calculation, how could he place hope on luck?

This is the most basic principle.

When he attributed the reason to luck, he had already fallen into a disadvantage.

But at this moment, he no longer cared about these things, continued entanglement would only lead him into a dead end, unable to extricate himself.

Not to mention defeating Su Yue again.

However, he was very clear that his stay here would not be too long.

After all, there will always be people who fear someone like Su Yue.

And in this world, the only person who might be able to contend with Su Yue is perhaps only himself.

Facing the nervous agent in front of him, he smiled slightly.

"Don't be nervous."

"I'm wearing shackles, how can I escape?"

"You don't need to be so wary."

The agent cautiously sized him up, still somewhat on guard.

But soon, his expression relaxed a lot.

He sighed and said, "Yes, after all, not everyone is Su Yue."

"Compared to him, you are far behind."

Lyon's face instantly darkened.

He never expected to hear such exaggerated words from the agent's mouth.

What does that mean?

Far behind?

The faint arrogant smile on his face instantly disappeared, feeling his self-esteem was severely hit.

At this moment, he wanted to maintain his composure, but failed.

That handsome face twisted with anger: "Stop joking, can Su Yue escape from that kind of place?"

The agent looked at Lyon's expression, feeling inexplicably pleased.

He said with even more emotion: "Yes."

"He escaped from the Investigation Bureau's confidential building, and thinking back now still makes one feel apprehensive, this guy's ability is truly not to be underestimated."

"As for you..."

The agent looked at Lyon with a disdainful look, as if conveying the words "the difference is obvious" with his eyes.

For Lyon, this was undoubtedly a heavy and huge blow.

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense here!"

"You should know, I will leave here sooner or later!"

The agent smiled disdainfully and said, "As ashes?"

Then, he seemed to lose interest in Lyon, stood up, and walked straight out of the interrogation room.

Behind him came Lyon's hoarse roar, but the agent only felt excited.

...

Beichuan City.

The economic losses caused by the earthquake are incalculable.

But fortunately, there were no casualties.

Disaster relief work is proceeding intensely and orderly, with workers brought in from other places busy with construction.

After the aftershocks ended, the reconstruction work in Beichuan also showed vigorous vitality.

Liu Longshi stood on the construction site wearing a safety helmet, carefully examining the situation in front of him.

He had been standing here for a long time, seemingly confused about certain parts of the construction site.

At some point, footsteps came from behind him.

Liu Longshi did not turn around, but his voice came out: "You are here."

"I am here."

An old voice sounded behind Liu Longshi.

This voice made Liu Longshi's shoulders stiffen suddenly, then he turned around, looked at the wrinkled face, and respectfully said: "Teacher."

This old man, dressed in a neat Chinese tunic suit, although looking old, revealed an indescribable ease in his steps.

The old man tidied the silver hair under his safety helmet and slowly said: "Seems like you are waiting for someone?"

Liu Longshi shook his head and said: "I thought the person in charge of the construction site would come, I notified him long ago, but I don't know why he hasn't arrived yet."

The old man chuckled, noncommittal to Liu Longshi's explanation.

This old man, Song Qi, is precisely the Director of the Security Bureau.

Although many affairs have been handed over to Liu Longshi to manage, this legendary old man is still active in various fields.

In terms of counter-espionage and espionage work, he is a rare treasure of the country.

At the same time, he is also Liu Longshi's second mentor.

After Liu Longshi graduated from Beijing University of Political Science and Law under Lin Liqun, he entered the Security Bureau, and his second teacher was precisely this Mr. Song Qi.

"In handling Su Yue's matter, you haven't done enough."

Song Qi said: "Although you didn't make mistakes, you were always led by the nose."

"This is a very inglorious thing."

Liu Longshi did not say much, just nodded, looked down at his toes, waiting for the admonishment.

The clanging sounds on the adjacent construction site rose and fell, but at this moment, Liu Longshi seemed unable to hear those noises.

He was prepared to accept criticism, but the teacher seemed not to continue blaming him.

Song Qi changed the subject and said: "However, this time, you should have also learned enough lessons."

"I believe you have also grown a lot."

"When I called you to deal with the nuclear bomb incident before, your reaction was quite quick."

Liu Longshi raised his head in surprise, looked at the teacher's expression, and was speechless for a moment.

"In a few more days, I will retire."

"An opponent like Su Yue is a very good spur for you."

"Hope you can grow up as soon as possible."

"From now on, I will no longer interfere with matters in the Bureau."

"Keep up the good work, Xiao Liu."

Liu Longshi's expression was uncontrollable, he stared at the teacher in front of him in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "Teacher, is what you said true? Why so sudden?"

This change was indeed too sudden, especially in this nuclear threat incident, he did not show excellent leadership. Thinking about leading the Security Bureau alone in the future, his heart was filled with unease and confusion.

Song Qi smiled and gently pointed to his head: "The reason is very simple, it's not that I don't want to do it, but my body doesn't allow it. There's a tumor here, and the doctor said I only have half a year left."

Liu Longshi opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him with mixed feelings, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.

Thinking of this legendary teacher, this benefactor who had cultivated him single-handedly, having only half a year left, he felt extremely sad. Imagining that he would never see this familiar face again in the future, no one to bear everything for him when he made mistakes, no one to point out his shortcomings, tears couldn't help but quietly fall.

Liu Longshi had never experienced the pain of parting so deeply. For the first time, he truly understood the sorrow of "not allowing humans to see white hair", whether it was a beauty, a hero, or a teacher, he did not want to see this scene.

At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, unable to say more.

But Song Qi's voice suddenly became stern: "Liu Longshi! What are you doing! You are about to become the head of the Security Bureau, and now you are whining and crying here, where is there any semblance of a leader! Stop your tears! I don't need anyone's sympathy!"

These words were like knives, piercing into Liu Longshi's heart. Although the teacher was scolding him, Liu Longshi found that the teacher's eyes were also red.

This old man... Liu Longshi smiled with red eyes.

Song Qi raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying earnestly: "Alright, it is my great fortune to have a student like you. You are much stronger than I was back then, and your future is promising."

"Future is promising?" Liu Longshi thought to himself, "If I were Su Yue, perhaps I could live up to these words. But I am not him."

However, just as he was distracted, Song Qi had already turned and left. Just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind: "What touching teacher-student affection."

Liu Longshi suddenly woke up, the emotions on his face instantly retracted, and the hairs on his back stood up. He turned around sharply, looking directly in the direction of the voice.

He saw Su Yue slowly walking over.

"I heard you were Lin Liqun's student, how do you have another teacher like this now?" Su Yue said with a half-smile, "But you are indeed quite lucky to be able to receive guidance from two such excellent teachers at the same time."

Liu Longshi snorted coldly: "Su Yue, stop trying to get information out of me. You are standing here now, I can catch you anytime."

Su Yue spread his hands, looking indifferent: "Threatening me? What good does that do you? Moreover, if our cooperation is leaked by me, who do you think they will believe?"

Liu Longshi's heart trembled, he didn't expect Su Yue to put him in a passive position with just a few words. This check and balance caught him off guard. Indeed, with Su Yue's current influence, as long as he said a few words casually, he might be dragged down.

This person in front of him, no one can restrain him anymore, only he himself can restrain himself. The current Su Yue, unless he walks into prison himself, otherwise he probably won't go in again.

"Heh heh, looks like you understand now." Su Yue smiled, "Also, how have you prepared for the matter I entrusted to you?"

Liu Longshi narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew that since they were going to talk about cooperation, he had to show sincerity.

In fact, when the earthquake just happened, Liu Longshi received a text message: "Do you remember our agreement?" That text message was sent to him by Su Yue.

Su Yue being able to lie low in the Security Bureau for a month without being detected, and even having almost complete speaking power, was largely due to the cooperation between him and Liu Longshi. After the nuclear bomb incident, although Su Yue's identity was leaked by Lyon, their cooperation did not completely terminate.

It can be said that Liu Longshi has always been very reliable in cooperation, and more importantly, the sense of justice in his heart. If not for this, Su Yue would not have chosen to show up at this moment.

At this moment, what Su Yue was most concerned about was the old man who had already left. He vaguely felt that the old man had left in a hurry because he had sensed his presence.

However, in any case, he is now beneficial and harmless to China, so the matter of pursuing him can be put aside for now.

"It's ready," Liu Longshi replied, "But I don't understand, what are you going to North Korea for? There's nothing you want in that kind of place."

Su Yue smiled: "The beginning of a plan often needs to start from other aspects. North Korea has what I need."

Liu Longshi nodded: "Just don't cause another nuclear bomb incident."

"Come with me," Su Yue said with a smile, thinking to himself: Of course it's not about nuclear bombs, but this operation will be even more thrilling than a nuclear bomb.

As Liu Longshi walked, he pondered why Teacher Song Qi would suddenly leave, when he clearly seemed to have many unspoken words. He suddenly realized that perhaps it was because his previous words had made the teacher aware. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, although no one saw it, he knew in his heart that the teacher left, most likely because he had guessed about his meeting with Su Yue.

Nowadays, the higher-ups no longer frequently urge the capture of Su Yue, and their attitude towards Su Yue has clearly softened. For a talent like Su Yue, recruiting and utilizing him is the right path, especially after he saved the lives of three million people, he naturally should enjoy more privileges and treatment. Although this matter was not explicitly stated, everyone understood it implicitly.

Things developed quietly like this, and Su Yue's proposal to go to North Korea complicated the situation. Although this had been discussed long ago, it was difficult to implement in practice. After all, Su Yue's actions were well-known, and the actions of that leader in North Korea were also attracting attention. If Su Yue made a move in North Korea, it would be hard to say whether that leader would go crazy because of it, or even ruthlessly launch nuclear missiles. Although the specific target was unclear, Liu Longshi knew that if they acted according to Su Yue's plan, this situation was very likely to happen.

He temporarily put aside the situation of Teacher Song Qi, and he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest while working. If he made a mistake, he would fail the teacher's expectations.

"You should be well aware of the current situation," he said while taking out the key to open the old door, "North Korea's situation is turbulent, especially since that leader is in poor health, once something happens, it will inevitably trigger more conflicts. You should understand this without me saying it."

Although he said so, he still made things clear, intending to imply that Su Yue should act with discretion.

However, when he pushed open the door and turned back, he was stunned. Su Yue, who should have been following behind him, had inexplicably disappeared!

"Since you are well aware, there's no need to say more." Su Yue's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Liu Longshi's expression froze again.

"Give me what I want, arrange what needs to be arranged, and you don't need to worry about the rest," Su Yue said.

Liu Longshi turned around, looked at Su Yue sitting in his seat, and hesitated to speak: "You should be clear about the current situation. Although we had a verbal agreement, implementing this matter is still full of difficulties."

"I need your guarantee, Su Yue," Liu Longshi said firmly.

Su Yue just sneered: "Stop talking nonsense. You should know, I won't give any guarantees."

He stood up and paced around the room, his gaze sweeping over the computer and documents, but not looking at Liu Longshi, just muttering to himself: "Liu Longshi, you should understand, if I infiltrate North Korea as an individual, the threat to you will be greater, and it will be of no benefit to the country. If something happens, I have my own way of escaping, but without this permission, who will the other party blame?"

"Conversely, if that suspicious fat man receives your friendly invitation, and I blend in, even if something happens, it will only be an issue on the surface. He will only think that I infiltrated secretly, and will not vent his anger on the country."
