I snorted: "Of course only the head of state knows this password?" Lansi said: "They said so." I shook my head: "This situation does not make sense. It is impossible to keep the secret for a long time by turning off the power switch." Lansi said: "I also raised this point. They said that the switch may not exist at all. Even if it exists, it is just a remote control that the head of state can carry with him." This is even more unimaginable. It is common to use barbed wire fences with high voltage electricity as guards.But the current can only be controlled by a remote control switch, which is a bit weird.

Why does the head of state have to control the current by himself? If you want to imagine, the only possibility is that the head of state will use this place to secretly enter and exit the study. But such a hypothesis is beyond imagination—even if the current is cut off, it would be difficult for him to pass through this ditch full of barbed wire, even if he was asked to climb over the fence. So why should the Führer control the current himself?Why did he go in and out of the study secretly? I just seem to be getting weirder and weirder. Bai Su asked me first, she had absolute confidence in Lansi's feelings, she asked: "Do you have the feeling that Xiaobao climbed out of the fence?"

Lansi replied: "It's very vague - it can be said that there is no. I can always feel that Xiaobao is under the wall, he...he... seems to be at the foot of the wall, and then suddenly disappeared...I mean, he suddenly... Suddenly..." She found it difficult to speak.I could understand Lansi's situation—she couldn't put into words what she felt, because what was happening was so bizarre that it was beyond words. At that time, the three of us were still standing on the top of the wall, and I asked Bai Su: "Could it be that Xiaobao suddenly broke through the space at the foot of the wall and went to another space. No matter how sensitive Lansi's sense is, as long as he can't break through the space, Naturally, I no longer feel his presence."

Although Lansi has great powers, she doesn't quite understand things like "going to another dimension". She looked at Bai Su, waiting for Xiang Su to answer.Bai Su thought for a while, and answered with my usual words: "This is one of the possibilities. Maybe there happens to be a place where space and space alternate, and Xiaobao entered another space there." Lansi was anxious: "What's going on!" It is very difficult to explain another dimension to a person who only has the concept of head-down technique, so Bai Su had no choice but to say: "This is like he suddenly went to a far, far away place, so far away that your sensory ability cannot reach it." .”

When Bai Su said this, of course Lansi could only get some concepts—in fact, anyone's understanding of the other dimension was only limited to some concepts. What Lansi was worried about was practical issues, and she asked, "What will happen to Xiaobao there?" Bai Su sighed: "I just said that there is a possibility, even if it is true, no one knows what the situation there is like." Lansi lowered her head and stopped talking. I said, "Besides this possibility, can't there be any other ideas?" Bai Su smiled wryly: "There are many ideas, but none of them are helpful to figure out where Xiaobao is now. For example, we can imagine that he was captured by aliens, or that he suddenly decomposes into molecules and floats in the air... "

Lan Si flattened her mouth and wanted to cry again.Bai Su held her hand, took a breath, and said slowly: "Once your cousin's soul was guided to an alien planet, and he went there for six years. I was also heartbroken at the beginning, but I have Confidence that he'll come back -- that's what got me through those days." Lan Si said with a crying voice: "During those days, you could at least see his body." Bai Su said: "Do you know Ma Xian, the King of Witches? Her doctor Yuan Zhenxia disappeared in the vast universe. If she hadn't had the confidence to find him, I don't know how she would survive."

Lansi lowered her head for a while, bit her lower lip, and after a while, she nodded and said word by word: "Xiaobao will definitely come back, definitely!" She added: "When he comes back, I have a solution. No matter which space he goes to, I can be with him soon." Bai Su and I don't know much about the specific circumstances of Lansi's words, and it might be due to the head-down technique, and there is a way to do it. The most important thing now is to make Lansi confident that she can meet Wen Baoyu again - otherwise Lansi is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, which will not help the matter anyway.

Before jumping off the fence, I plucked a handful of grass from the top of the wall and threw it into the ditch.The grass fell on the barbed wire fence, made a "squeak" sound, burst into flames, and soon turned to ashes, but you know that this high-voltage power grid is really no joke. After getting off the fence and back to the study, I had so many questions in my mind that I didn't know which one to ask first. Bai Su asked me first: "What have you done these days?" Lansi answered very simply: "I have done everything that can be done." Bai Su asked again: "Did you notify Tao Qiquan?"

Lansi took a breath and nodded: "He was sent by Tao Qiquan. Tao Qiquan is obliged to participate in the search for Xiaobao." I couldn't help but smiled wryly, thinking of Mama Wen's cry heard at the airport - of course Tao Qiquan was in the process of looking for Wen Baoyu, and found Mama Wen's place, and Mama Wen knew the news of Xiaobao's disappearance.She took the most direct method - to settle accounts with me! Thinking of this, there seemed to be screams in my ears again, and I couldn't help shaking my head vigorously.At this moment, I suddenly thought of a very important question: "In terms of Jiacheng, Tao Qiquan is urgently needed, why?"

Lansi asked, "Is it related?" I said: "Of course, everything started from looking for Tao Qiquan, how could it be okay. This Taofangquan is not a thing, Xiaobao has been missing for so many days, not only did he not come to Calgary, he didn't even notify I!" I said, looking towards Lansi.Lansi looked bitter: "I've contacted him, and he said that Xiaobao behaves like a ghost, so I don't need to make a fuss—he doesn't have the feeling that Xiaobao already exists, so I'm not nervous." Bai Su said: "It's not that he didn't do anything; at least he had contacted Wen's mother. In fact, in terms of Wen Baoyu's usual style, he suddenly disappeared for a few days, and it is indeed difficult to arouse the tension of others."

Lansi shook her head: "But I know it's different this time, Xiaobao really disappeared this time." After she said this, she shouted like a night walker whistling: "He will definitely come back! I should have confidence that he will definitely come back!" Her state of affairs looked very pitiful.Bai Su and I pretended not to care at all, and I said: "Where are the four people who received you first? It is very necessary to talk to them." Lansi said: "They contact me every day - I believe they are trying their best to find someone, and they promise not to play any tricks in front of me." What Lansi said was very certain, and I couldn't help but feel a chill when I heard it. It was obvious that Lansi had manipulated those four people, making them obedient to her words. Of course, it was a head-down technique. When we said these words, we were in the study, and while we were talking, there was a sound of "salute" in the corridor. Lansi walked over and knocked on the door, and said at the same time: "They are here." The door opened, and sure enough, four people walked in. I just had a face-to-face meeting with that person, and I couldn't help but give Lansi a hard look——Lansi's entire world is just the world of head-bending techniques.Beyond that, she simply didn't know anything. She kept telling me that two of the four were generals and two were civil servants, that's all.But at this moment, as soon as the four people came in, I immediately recognized their identities. Although they are not the world's top celebrities, as important figures in a big country, with a little international common sense, they should know them. The two generals walking in front, one is the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces, and the other is the chief of staff. Of the two civil servants, one is the Minister of Economy and the other is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Such four important people, Lansi actually just casually referred to them as "four people"-although Lansi was not wrong, she was always wrong. Bai Su and I glanced at each other, we both knew in our hearts that something was out of the ordinary, with these four people here, it can already be said that all the important figures in this country are here. I don't know if Wen Baoyu is like me, who recognized them when they met.As long as they recognize one of them, they should be able to know what they want to discuss with Tao Qiquan, which is no small matter. Then Wen Baoyu should tell Tao Qiquan about this situation immediately - if Tao Qiquan knew that the situation was so serious, he should also come to Jiacheng immediately, and he would not shirk it.Because if it's just for money, there is absolutely no intention to make the top figures of these four countries join forces. As soon as those four people came in, Lansi introduced me and Bai Su to them, but Lansi just said, "This is Wesley", and the commander-in-chief had already extended his hand to me: "Mr. Mr. Tao? Why doesn’t Mr. Tao come by himself, is it because the four of us can’t invite him?” Judging from the expressions of the commander-in-chief and the other three, they were already very impatient.I first explained for Tao Qiquan: "Don't misunderstand me, I think Mr. Tao only knows that Calgary has something to discuss with him, and never knows that the four of you want to meet him." The commander-in-chief looked puzzled: "Could it be that Mr. Wen, the plenipotentiary, didn't report to Mr. Tao?" I smiled wryly: "It seems that this is indeed the case—but I don't understand: the four of you have also contacted Mr. Tao. Didn't they reveal their identities when they contacted?" The chief of staff replied: "If the four of us identify ourselves and want to meet with Mr. Tao, then everyone will know that something has happened and there will be confusion. We only hope that Mr. Tao will tell him what happened when he sees us. " I continued to smile wryly - it seems that the little bastard Wen Baoyu really didn't recognize the identities of the four people, so he didn't expect how serious the matter would be. I took a breath: "Why don't you four reveal your identities to Mr. Wen?" The four of them were very upset, and the commander-in-chief said, "Should we still introduce ourselves? Don't you know our identities as soon as you see us!" I secretly sighed. Of course the commander-in-chief is a bit arrogant when he said this. Although his country is a big country with hundreds of millions of people, it is indeed difficult to recognize people who are not really concerned about current affairs. I didn't discuss with them any further on this issue, I hurriedly asked: "Is there anything you want to discuss with Mr. Tao?" I thought that there was already an accident like Wen Baoyu's disappearance, and they must have revealed the reason for meeting with Tao Qiquan before. Who knows that the four of them still refused to answer my question.They were silent at first, and after a while, the chief of staff said: "I'm sorry, it's about our country's top secret. Only people like Mr. Tao who have an extremely close relationship with our country can participate." I was a little annoyed: "If the matter is related to Wen Baoyu's disappearance, no matter what kind of secret it is, I must figure it out. Not only me, Master Lansi will never give up! Rather than the situation developing, there may be an unpleasant situation, why not Come on now and tell us everything!" My words were already very rude, but Lansi's words were even worse. She said: "I will use all methods to clarify the ins and outs of the matter, even if the world is turned upside down, don't blame me for not warning me in advance!" When Lansi said these words, there was a faint greenness circulating on her face, which was very strange and had a chilling power. Those four people were all big men under one person and over ten thousand people, of course they were respected by others, but at this time Lansi was so rude to them, instead of being angry, they looked very frightened. The four looked at each other, and after a while, the Minister of Economy was about to speak, when the commander-in-chief said, "You can't say it!" Lansi immediately sneered twice, even when I heard her sneer, I couldn't help but feel a chill. The Commander-in-Chief also looked frightened, but there was always something unusual about him as Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces.So despite his frightened expression, he puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Unless Mr. Tao comes, we will never speak!" Bai Su smiled: "Why make such a fuss, just inform Mr. Tao and ask him to come as soon as possible." The chief of staff immediately said: "Of course it would be great to invite Mr. Tao here!" Bai Su looked towards me, and I pointed to the phone on the desk: "Can this phone work?" The commander-in-chief, the chief of staff, and the two ministers did not answer, and looked puzzled.It can be seen from this that they are not very familiar with the study room dedicated to the head of state. I ignored them, walked over and picked up the phone - I thought at the time, the phone on the Führer's desk, of course, should be able to connect to the whole world. (Even if the phone is on the desk of an ordinary person, he can already connect to the whole world.) I picked up the phone with one hand, and was about to press the number with the other, but I heard the other party's phone ringing on the phone. I was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that this phone was a direct phone, which only leads to a specific target, and there is no need to dial a number at all. At that moment, I just hesitated for less than a second, and knew that my behavior was reckless!This is the study of a head of state, and of course it is also where he handles state affairs.I don't know where the direct line leads to. It must be related to state secrets. I shouldn't pick up the phone casually. When I thought of this, I immediately put down the phone, but at this moment, I heard a very familiar voice on the phone—Tao Qiquan's voice! In an instant, I was extremely surprised: I knew that Tao Qiquan had a very close relationship with the dignitaries of this country, but I never knew that the relationship between them was so close—the only phone on the desk of the head of state was directly connected to Tao Qiquan! As soon as I heard Tao Qiquan's voice, my curiosity flared up, and I couldn't put down the phone anymore. Hearing Tao Qijia's tone, he was very familiar, which showed the close relationship between him and the head of state.He said: "You are really calm, those men of yours are as burning asses as I am looking for, but you have not contacted me 'personally' until now!" At that time, my expression must have been very strange, so that Bai Su quickly came to my side.I know that Tao Qiquan misunderstood me as the head of state - from this we can know that this phone is dedicated to the head of state and is only used to talk to Tao Qiquan. For a moment I didn't know how to react, and Tao Qiquan immediately knew that something was wrong. He first called the head of state by name, and then sternly shouted: "Who are you? How dare you use the phone number of the head of state? Say it! " I didn't know Tao Qiquan had such majesty before, so I couldn't help sighing: "It's me, Wesley." When Tao Qiquan heard my voice, he must have been more surprised than I was.I clearly heard his inhalation, and at the same time I heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and a woman's voice asking, "What's wrong?" In the midst of my busy schedule, I was able to immediately recognize that woman's voice, which was made by Shui Hong. Tao Qiquan and Shui Hong fell in love at first sight, and immediately hit it off, but their two identities are special, so their whereabouts are very secretive. When he and Shui Hong had a tryst, Tao Qiquan could also immediately receive the call from here. From this, it can be seen that he is ready to contact the head of state anytime and anywhere. It was only at this time that I didn't know that he was not only the head of a large international consortium, but also had close relationships with political leaders in many countries. This situation is similar to that of a tycoon.It seems that the combination of money and power is inseparable and intimate, and it is the same all over the world. At that time, I heard Tao Qiquan answering Shui Hong's question, his voice sounded very strange, as if there was a frog stuck in his throat, and he said: "Wesley, it's Wesley, how can this person be everywhere? He is simply not human!" Originally, I was very sorry for using the phone number of the head of state recklessly, but Tao Qiquan used such a tone to describe me, which made me furious. I sneered: "Don't speak out! You'll know what it's like when you come to me for something and can't find it!" Tao Qiquan seemed to have been hit by a sap, and he couldn't make a sound for a few seconds, and then he said again and again: "It's too unexpected! It's too unexpected! I mean, you have great powers and are everywhere. You are now in the head of state The study in the other building? Did the head of state let you use this direct line?" He sent me a barrage of questions, apparently trying to cover up his rudeness.My voice was still very cold: "I didn't see the head of state, I was with Lansi——I came here for Wen Baoyu's disappearance." Tao Qiquan's voice sounded very nervous: "Then why are you in the study of the Head of State Building? Wesley, if you went in privately, leave as soon as possible, and don't cause disaster!" Tao Qiquan spoke very seriously, it didn't sound like a bluff.I recalled Lansi's narration, when it was mentioned that the four of them went to Wen Baoyu's study together and felt nervous for no reason. It seems that this study is a forbidden place, and no one can enter without the permission of the head of state. Tao Qiquan has a close relationship with the head of state, so he knew at this point. I replied: "There are four civil and military officials by my side, Wen Baoyu is your plenipotentiary representative, and Lan Si is the head-down master, can't you enter the study?" Although I couldn't hear the sound, I could imagine that Tao Qiquan was stomping his feet. His voice was extremely anxious, and he said loudly: "Nonsense! Nonsense! It's too nonsense! Unless the head of state leads him personally, he must not enter this study. Commander, why don’t you understand this rule? The head of state is extremely nervous about this matter, if you don’t leave quickly, if something happens, even I may not be able to protect you!” Tao Qiquan yelled so loudly that even though the phone did not have a sound protection device, other people could hear him through the microphone. I looked at those four people and saw that their faces were ashen. The two soldiers, the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff, seemed to be able to hold on, and the commander-in-chief even showed a very sullen expression.As for the two ministers, they couldn't hold back their trembling. It can be seen from this that the prohibition of the head of state must be extremely strict.Whoever commits it is a mortal sin.Judging from the commander-in-chief's expression, he was obviously not very convinced, which may involve a power struggle.I faintly felt that the matter was very complicated, and I really shouldn't be involved in the vortex, but I couldn't ignore the matter of Wen Baoyu's disappearance. For a moment, I felt like I was riding on the back of a tiger. I first said to Tao Qiquan: "Don't be nervous—" Before I could finish my sentence, Tao Qiquan yelled again: "Don't take everything as a joke! There are taboos, why do you have to violate other taboos? The country you live in, the head of state On behalf of everything, your behavior has been regarded as a serious violation of the head of state, which is an unpardonable capital crime!" I believe that Tao Qiquan's anxiety at this time is not without reason, but I still don't quite understand, I look at the four people again, hoping they can explain to me. At this time, the man's face became even more ugly.When my eyes fell on them, three of them took a step back involuntarily. Only the commander-in-chief was still standing still, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have the courage to come forward. I also felt that something was wrong, Tao Qiquan was still shouting on the phone at this time: "Did you hear that, leave as soon as possible, if the guards find out, shoot and kill!" In my personality, there is a characteristic (of course, it can also be called a shortcoming, or an advantage), that is, I am not convinced - the more serious the other party speaks, the more I will be unconvinced. The situation was like that at this time, and I also raised my voice: "I didn't come in by myself, the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff are also there, in the corridor—" Before I finished speaking, Tao Qiquan yelled again: "Wesley! You are a cow! And you are an idiot cow!" I said angrily: "You are an idiot! Don't I know what kind of environment I am in, and I want you to give orders from thousands of miles away!" I heard Tao Qiquan panting, and after a while, he suddenly called out again: "Wait a minute! You didn't see the head of state, and neither did Lansi and Xiaobao?" I said: "I have already said that we have not seen the head of state." Tao Qiquan groaned, followed by another strange sound, which sounded like it came from his throat. Then his voice was hoarse, and he shouted: "Call the Commander-in-Chief to answer the phone!" His words were so blunt that I thought the Commander-in-Chief would be furious, but the Commander-in-Chief stepped forward despite his sullen expression.I handed the phone to him, he took the phone, naturally stood at attention, heels touched each other, and made a crisp sound. This order surprised me a lot. I already knew that Tao Qiquan had a lot of influence in this country, but I didn't know that his influence was so great—it seemed that the commander-in-chief regarded him as the head of state! Moreover, even the head of state cannot shout and shout at a commander-in-chief like this. Tao Qiquan's attitude is simply the overlord of this country! The phone is in the hands of the commander-in-chief, but we can still hear Tao Qiquan's roar.The commander-in-chief had just reported his name, and Tao Qiquan had already shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! How is the head of state?" The hand of the commander-in-chief holding the phone trembled slightly, and several inarticulate voices came out of his throat, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Tao Qiquan's questioning became more and more severe: "What did you do to the head of state!" The commander-in-chief still didn't answer, and Tao Qiquan further accused: "You, what did you do to the head of state?" Then the commander-in-chief cried out as if crying: "We didn't do anything to him, he...he..." Tao Qiquan was already very impatient, and sternly shouted: "Don't hesitate, speak quickly!" The commander-in-chief's voice was hoarse: "There are others here, I...I can't tell!" When I heard this, I couldn't help shouting: "He can only tell you alone, you can reduce one tryst and come here for a while!" Tao Qiquan ignored my yelling, and gave an order to the commander-in-chief, "Say! Wesley and Lansi are not outsiders!" This commander-in-chief is really a bit of an idiot, he actually said: "In addition to them, there is... and Mrs. Wei." Tao Qiquan said: "That's not an outsider!" The commander-in-chief gasped for three breaths, swallowed another three mouthfuls of saliva, and finally uttered a sentence with great difficulty: "The head of state is gone!" As soon as he said these words, there was a moment of extreme silence, everyone held their breath, even Tao Qiquan on the phone was silent. It took a full minute before Tao Qiquan's voice was heard again: "Missing? What do you mean?" The commander-in-chief said with a mournful face: "It's gone...it's gone..." Tao Qiquan asked sharply, "When did that happen?" The commander-in-chief said, "It's been twelve days!" In the voice, Tao Qiquan could be heard panicked and angry: "Why didn't you inform me earlier!" The commander-in-chief called Qu: "I asked you to come to Jiacheng the next day, but you just sent a representative!" Tao Qiquan refused to admit his mistake: "You didn't say that the head of state is missing!" The commander-in-chief argued: "The sudden disappearance of the head of state, such a major event, if the news is leaked, it will cause extreme confusion, so we can't talk nonsense." Tao Qiquan was impatient: "Okay, okay, I'll come right away, and you will wait for me in the annex! And please wait for me, Mrs. and Mrs. Wesley." His tone of speech to the commander-in-chief was completely commanding, and when he mentioned me, he finally added the word "please". As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
