    Xiao Sheng didn't know what kind of situation he would face when he stepped into this red threshold, but when Mr. Liu made the "please" gesture, Xiao Sheng still walked across the threshold with a respectful smile.  The red threshold.

    Facing everyone, Xiao Sheng, who looked at the crowd with very unfriendly eyes, walked vigorously, and had a calm expression, followed closely behind Mr. Liu and walked towards the backyard. When he was approaching the corner, Liu suddenly stopped.  The old man turned his head and glanced meaningfully at Xiao Sheng behind him, then glanced at the Liu family standing in the courtyard and murmured:

    "Let's all go down, the sky can't change." This simple sentence contained the full aura of Mr. Liu. Xiao Sheng, who smiled and said nothing, did not speak, and casually handed over the white-cut mutton he brought.  , followed by the guards around Mr. Liu, and continued to move forward with him.

    Even for the Liu family, not everyone can enter the study room. The door is opened at this time. The display is a bit old, but it is full of antique charm. Xiao Sheng is a very careful person. After his eyes lingered on the bookcase for a while, he knew what was in front of him.  This old man is an old-timer who really loves books.

    The desk, which is not even large, is very neat. The ornaments made of bullet casings are very attractive to Xiao Sheng. After bypassing the desk, Mr. Liu sits directly on the wicker chair with his hands on his chest.  , eyes fixed on Xiao Sheng standing in front of him, raised his hand and said, "Sit down,".

    Xiao Sheng replied "Thank you" and stood down in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Before he could sit down firmly, Mr. Liu said bluntly:

    "Do you know, if Liu Shan is taken away by you like this, what will it mean to the Liu family, and what will it mean to the Nalan family." Two questions in a row hit the point of the problem. After saying this, Mr. Liu  He stared intently at Xiao Sheng who raised his head, trying to see something in his eyes, but unfortunately, that gaze remained firm.

    After being silent for a while, Xiao Sheng suddenly spoke. He did not directly answer Mr. Liu¡¯s question, but used a story to implicitly express his point of view:

    "I remember my old man told me this story: There was a blind man walking at night, holding a lantern in his hand. The passers-by were very puzzled and asked: Since you can't see, what's the use of lighting a lantern, blind man?  He smiled and replied: This cluster of light prevents me from seeing others, but it allows others to see me and avoid them subconsciously.

    Different people, different responsibilities, different perspectives, the results of thinking about the problem will appear to be inaccurate. I can stand from the perspective of the Liu family and imagine the consequences, and I can also stand from the perspective of the Nalan family and assume the possibility.  situation, but have you ever thought about it from my perspective and my responsibilities?  "

    After hearing what Xiao Sheng said, Mr. Liu took out a cigarette from the table, lit the cigarette with a match in a leisurely manner, took a puff of green smoke, and asked:

    "Your responsibilities, if I remember correctly, you have been expelled from the military. I have always regarded you as a senior, so I will not pursue the issue of Zhirong, but this time, put aside the relationship between the two families.  , and the possible consequences, ask yourself, do you believe that my Liu family will do something 'treasonous'?"

    "I don't believe it, but I have to take him away. This is a task, an order given to me by my superiors, and also my bottom line."

    "The bottom line is, there's nothing to talk about."

    "Let's talk. Whether Uncle Liu will be taken out alive or dead depends on your attitude."

    "Bang." Mr. Liu stood up after slapping the table, staring at Xiao Sheng who was sitting there motionless. Just after he finished slapping the table, the closed study door was quickly pushed open by the guard outside, his eyes wary.  Xiao Sheng's back.

    "In all these years, no one has dared to talk to me like this, let alone a junior."

    "Thank you, I can understand that you appreciate me very much, right? But appreciation is appreciation and duty is duty. Mr. Liu, please calm down. I know that it is difficult for you to think about it at the moment. It's okay. It's within my scope of responsibility.  I will give you time to consider it fully.

    I didn¡¯t eat here for lunch. At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, I came to pick up the person on time. Whether he was alive or dead, I had to take the person with him. Of course, if I couldn¡¯t leave, that would be a different matter.  "After saying this, Xiao Sheng, who was standing still, stood up suddenly and saluted Mr. Liu with a standard military salute. Then, he turned around without hesitation, just as he pushed aside the man in front of him.  When the two guards were standing by, Mr. Liu suddenly said:

    "Young man, since you are so persistent, don't blame our Liu family for turning against each other." Xiao Sheng, who paused on the spot, took a deep breath and replied thoughtfully:

    "I still say the same thing: if you stand from a different angle, your starting point will be different, if your stance is different, what you do may go in the opposite direction. Sir, thank you for your appreciation."??'s persistence, similarly, I feel heartache even more for your persistence.

    Come in the morning, I am here as a junior of the third generation of Nalan; come in the evening, I am here as a 'punishment', there is no room for bargaining, it is either the point of no return or the road to sunshine.  "After saying this, Xiao Sheng walked out of the study without looking back.

    Mr. Liu, who had been stunned for a long time, waved his hand to signal the guards to leave. The moment the door was closed tightly, a slightly relieved smile appeared on his face.

    ¡°I don¡¯t appreciate your persistence, but I appreciate your beliefs and bottom line.¡±

    From the beginning, I never thought that I would take Liu Shan out of the Liu family in a "peaceful" manner. The collapse of the conversation was also expected, but it was beyond reason. Maybe one day, as a self-proclaimed "punishment" person  , come to Nalan's house to take someone as protective as your old man. What's more, the meaning of him being taken away is also a sign that the Liu family has fallen out of favor.

    But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, just like the Liu family, a behemoth in the northwest, it cannot be defeated by one generation unless the two aristocratic families fight to the death.

    Xiao Sheng knew that once he embarked on this 'path of no return', the Nalan family and the Liu family would really break up completely. He was very sad, but he had nothing to do.

    After passing through the corridor, Xiao Daguan, who didn't want to 'quarrel' with the Liu family anymore, prepared to go out directly through the back door in a low-key manner. However, just when Xiao Sheng was about to leave quietly, the middle-aged woman standing at the back door  , making it stop and stagnate there.

    "Auntie." She is somewhat similar to Zhi Rong, but the difference is that on her face, you can see a smile that Liu Zhi Rong rarely shows, but this smile now looks so 'embarrassed'.

    "Zhonglei, your phone is not turned on." Xiao Sheng, who heard this, did not move a step forward, but replied with a reserved smile:

    "Auntie, I don't turn on my phone when I'm on a mission."
