Barrier of Light

About the invitation from Tsuka Oni.

In fact, it was within Gu Shen's expectation.

When they met at the New World Project, Gu Shen noticed this guy's unusual "desire to survive." He dared to remind himself in front of Cui Zhongcheng that Huazhi might be doing unethical "human experiments"... Very It was obvious that he was ready to choose the right place to live.

There are very few people who know about the genetic act.

But a special person like Tsuka Oni, even if he hasn’t heard about it, will still be suspicious of the parliament’s news about this...

The only thing that surprised him today was the private meeting between his wife Lu Nanzhi and Nanwan's second-in-command Ye Ningqiu.

This is a coincidence.

It's also your own luck.

"Chu Ling, can you provide us with their conversation?"

"Yes, but it will take a while."

A girl's voice came from the other side of the deep sea.

"The sound in the auditorium is relatively mixed. I will try to capture all the audio data here and then intercept the audio tracks of the two of them."

"Why are these two people here?"

Xing Yun looked a little strange.

He chose to meet Gu Shen in the Liberty Auditorium not because of any special thoughts, but because of his own hobbies. Meeting Madam and Ye Ningqiu here was a pure accident.

Ye Ningqiu is a key figure in Nanwan who holds great power. She and Lu Nanzhi met in an informal setting... Xing Yun's expression became solemn, and he vaguely felt that the bill was not as simple as he imagined.

Soon it will be time for the nomination of alternative members.

Because of the different political views on the bill, Nanwan and Huazhi should be wary of each other. How could Madam meet Ye Ningqiu?

"This kid... knew it in advance?"

What surprised Xing Yun even more than the meeting between the two was Gu Shen's early reaction.

Regarding his "help", this seemingly immature boy gave a very mature answer.

Obviously, this gives me time to think and hesitate. If the implementation of the bill does not go so smoothly, my current situation will not be so bad.

But the question is how did Gu Shen know?

Could it be that the news came from within the tribunal?

…

…

Second movement.

A soft voice filled the warm air of the auditorium.

The performance was very soft and lulling people to sleep, and several "newcomers" and "arty" listeners were already curled up in their seats and falling asleep.

The lights were not very bright, and soft light fell in the venue.

Almost no one noticed the entrance of the two ladies, and even if they did... they didn't take a close look at the appearance of the two ladies.

Therefore, the few attentive listeners only caught a glimpse of two elegant female listeners entering the room from a distance and stopped paying attention.

Ye Ningqiu sat down, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and maintained such an elegant posture.

A lace veil beneath her top hat obscured her face.

"Do you like to listen to performances?"

She was obviously a little surprised by the appointment on this occasion. Auditorium concerts were already considered obsolete.

"My father loved it."

The lady said softly: "He told me that for ancient, elegant, and dignified things... we need to retain respect. Times have changed, and we must discard the bad and retain the good. The older the culture, the more people need to appreciate it carefully."

Ye Ningqiu seemed to be in a trance.

She smiled and said, "Do you think he is right?"

"That's not entirely true." Madam said slowly, "Everything has two sides. Ancient and old things have good and bad qualities. Good or bad simply has nothing to do with new or old..." "For example?"

"For example, something is being supported by countless people and opposed by countless people."

Finally got to the point.

"Many people view the implementation of the Awakening Act from the perspective of change." Madam said: "I think there is nothing wrong with change, but the change in human society cannot be so violent, cutting off the ancient barriers overnight, so both good and bad will It will be destroyed, which does not solve the fundamental problem. Without order, the new society will give birth to more contradictions."

"interesting……"

Ye Ningqiu smiled and said, "It's hard to imagine that in your position, you would say such a thing."

"Tomorrow is the nomination of alternative members." Madam said softly to the sound of sleepy and dreamy music: "After the nomination, I will be elected as the third member of Dadu."

"Nanwan also has the right to nominate alternative members. We have prepared more than one set of blocking plans in advance." Ye Ningqiu stopped hiding it. She smiled and said: "But obviously... several reserve members in Nanwan They are no match for you when it comes to electing members. There is a high probability that those blocking plans will not work. So I came to the auditorium to meet with you today. This is a risky decision."

"You don't trust me, and I don't trust you. But since we have chosen to meet... we might as well try to trust each other."

Lu Nanzhi said calmly: "This is a big gamble. Before joining forces, I need to confirm that you are trustworthy people."

"How do you want to confirm?" Ye Ning Qiujing waited for the follow-up.

"What I said before...I have proven my sincerity."

"Now it's your turn." Madam lowered her eyebrows, "Would you choose to resist strongly in the next candidate election and be defeated by me one by one, and finally lose completely in the bill competition, or choose to take the initiative to withdraw...and then gain the final harvest? A victory for the bill.”

Ye Ningqiu looked at the woman in front of him meaningfully.

Who would have thought that the successor Zhao Xilai cultivated... would be his biggest enemy in the bill controversy?

If Lu Nanzhi, who has obtained a parliamentary seat, opposes the passage of the bill.

Then this long-running "fierce battle" will have a dramatic ending.

"You want us to withdraw from the competition for candidate members." Ye Ningqiu said with a smile: "Just these few words are too hasty..."

"As you can see, you have no advantage in the competition for alternative members, and the final outcome is already foreseeable." The lady said solemnly: "If you do your best...then I must rely on Zhao's strength, and finally in the bill That one vote will become an uncontrollable vote. This is a lose-lose situation."

"You can only take a gamble and choose to believe me."

The lady looked directly into the eyes beneath the lace veil.

"There is a saying...the hawker is blinded by the peck. If you can peck one person blind, you can peck the second blind."

Ye Ningqiu did not agree or refuse. She just thought for a moment and asked softly: "I can't understand... why would you do this? What good will this do to the Zhao family?"

Once the bill is passed.

Zhao will reap too many benefits.

And when Lu Nanzhi becomes the new leader who takes over Huazhi, she will also become the most influential person in this era.

Logically speaking, no one is looking forward to the arrival of a new era more than her.

"Obviously, this will not do any good to Zhao."

The lady said softly: "And the reason why I did this is very simple...because my surname is Lu."

She stood up and left the auditorium.

Ye Ningqiu sat silently on the seat alone.

…

…

All the conversations between the two came to Gu Shen's ears clearly, with some slight delays.

But it does not hinder understanding.

Chu Ling processed the data very quickly. She listened to it herself and sighed: "Wonderful... Lu Nanzhi is going to join forces with Nanwan to backstab Zhao Xilai and the Awakening Act..."

"It's because of the Lion Lane case."

"Lao Lu's death has always been in Lu Nanzhi's mind." Gu Shen said softly in a voice that only he could hear: "It's just that her way of handling this case is different from that of her senior sister."

Both sisters harbor hatred in their hearts.

Compared to Nan Jin carrying a knife and leaving her hometown, it is obvious that what the wife did was more conducive to "revenge".

After Lu Cheng's death, the flowers left by the Lu family were swallowed up bit by bit by the Zhao family. Real revenge is not to kill the real culprit behind the scenes, but to take back what belongs to you...

"It's just that I haven't figured it out yet..."

Gu Shen said softly: "Even if it is for the purpose of regaining Huazhi, there is no need for her to break up with Zhao Xilai at this juncture..."

Huazhi can already be regarded as the lady's.

Why is she opposing the Woke Act?

Zhao Xilai revised his will and elected members. Everything he did was to help Lu Nanzhi move to a higher throne. Even if she wanted to capsize this giant ship, she should wait until she took over the crown.

When you are in a daze.

The second movement has reached its final stage. With the fierce beating of the timpani, the style of the music changed drastically. In an instant, the drums shook like thunder, and the sleepy and soft sounds echoing in the auditorium were all torn apart. Several people fell into a coma. The sleepy audience suddenly woke up in shock.

Immediately afterwards the minuet of the third movement sounded briskly.

The dozing audience looked at each other and realized that they had been "played".

The auditorium was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Symphony No. 94 in G major, called 'Astonishment'."

Tsukauki, who was originally enjoying the music with great interest, now looked like a wilted eggplant. He introduced this to Gu Shen perfunctorily.

"Symphony of Surprise..."

Gu Shen found it a little funny.

Was this written intentionally for those arty people? For those who have never heard the music, when they hear the second movement and fall asleep, a thunder will ring in their ears.

Now Xing Yun is not in the mood to listen to the performance.

He looked complicated.

Every time I listen to this piece, there are always a few nappers who are awakened by the drum beat in the second movement.

This is one of the reasons why he never tires of coming to the auditorium to listen to concerts——

Some of the people in the audience looked like clowns.

But this time it was different. When he bumped into a private meeting between Lu Nanzhi and Ye Ningqiu, Tsukauki felt like a clown. The project team of the New World had prepared so much related work for the implementation of the Awakening Act. In the end, it was decided The fate of the bill will most likely depend on those few words from the big shot.

Although I don’t know what the two of them talked about.

But Tsukauki already had a vague "ominous" premonition in his heart.

"Congratulations, it seems that the implementation of the bill will not go so smoothly."

Gu Shen looked as usual, stood up and left. When passing by the auditorium, he patted Xing Yun on the shoulder, "Don't cry in sorrow. For you... this should be a good thing."
