After being missed by the villain in quick time travel

Chapter 203 Doomsday Traveler (72)

"Where's Tao Jun and others!?" The security bureau chief, deputy bureau chief, and principal stood at the entrance of the information department's workplace, yelling at the people guarding the door.

"Director, Deputy Bureau, Minister Tao is really not here." The person guarding the door replied politely.

"He's not in the office, and he's not here, where can he go?" The director didn't believe what the man said.

"Director, our minister has the habit of taking walks on various floors, maybe he went for a walk."

"Walk? What time is it? He still wants to go for a walk!?" The deputy director was even more angry when he heard this answer. Originally, they were just wondering why they asked them to check the contribution points when they heard the rumors from above. shrinking thing.

Contribution points have shrunk significantly, shouldn't they know each other well?
When they saw that Tao Jun didn't discuss with them at all, they uploaded the video about "Du Ye" and "Xia Ling" to report, they didn't take it seriously, they only felt that Tao Jun was unnecessary.

They were all there that day, what could happen if Du Rong admitted it himself?
They didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until the leaders of other families sent video calls to them in turn.

The director was even scolded by Du Rong, and even wondered if he had been instigated by others, and asked who was messing with him behind his back, and asked the director to speak out, otherwise he would bear all the consequences.

The chief was stunned.

He felt that if Du Rong either had Alzheimer's, or he had changed his mind, he wanted to take back what he had supported and acquiesced in their reforms in the voice call.

It's not that the director has never experienced Du Rong's scumbag nature, but the other party's abuse of him in the past was just hurting his body and heart, but this time if the other party intends to stay out of the matter completely, it may be fatal.

How courageous is he to carry out reforms at the base behind the backs of those in power?

The deputy director is also not much better, although the people behind him are not the Du family, but the Oda family.

But he was also involved in this matter. It is only his fault that although he knows that the five power holders are not monolithic, he feels that they have a unified thinking on the general policy for the base.

In the past, it was Du Rong who took the lead in dealing with the Xia family, but now he is taking the lead in carrying out reforms, and it is not impossible for him to take this matter that has benefited in the present age and benefited the future. After all, Du Rong was the closest person to Xia Nan in the past.

He even secretly analyzed that the reason why Du Rong dealt with Xia Nan back then was probably because he didn't want Xia Nan to take the credit first.

Moreover, he also reported the recent changes in the base to those in power in the Oda family, and the reply he received was received.

The other party received all this, but the Oda family behind him asked him if he was bought by Du Rong. Although he explained, the other party was just silent, obviously not believing him.

The same was the case with the headmaster. Although the Rockefeller family didn't question him, they didn't need to think about his loyalty.

He also explained it, but it was only regarded as a sophistry.

Therefore, although they are backed by different forces in power, they are now on the same boat, and they still have a vacant seat on this boat for Tao Jun.

From their point of view, there was no one behind Tao Jun, and he was also involved in this incident. He should be the most dangerous person among the four of them, but this person went for a walk at this time, is it okay?
"Contact your minister and tell him that there are some technical failures and he needs to come back."

The director was instructing the people standing at the door when he heard a voice behind him: "What technical failure do you need to tell me?"

Several people looked back and saw that it was Tao Jun who had come back from a "walk". They walked quickly and invited Tao Jun into his own office.

After turning on the anti-monitoring device, the director said: "Tao Jun, you are a smart person, why are you still going for a walk at this time? Do you think that you have lost the video of Du Sishao and Xia Ling, and the black market arsenal?" If we report the matter to the higher authorities, can we escape the accountability this time?"

Seeing that Tao Jun returned to the office, he first poured himself a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, and then walked to his seat and sat down. Jun's performance is a little dissatisfied.

Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, what kind of grasshopper king are you pretending to be, and you want to show yourself different! ?
But no matter how several people analyze the current situation, Tao Jun always looks like he is sitting on the Diaoyutai.

He took a sip of tea before opening his mouth: "I really can't escape accountability, but they also know that my loyalty has never been absolute, whichever way the wind blows, I will fall to whichever side, but I don't rely on either side. "

Tao Junyun's calm words were like a thunderbolt, making the other three realize a problem they had overlooked.

Yes, Tao Jun is no one, so even if he is held accountable, he will not lose the trust of those in power, because the other party has never been trusted by any family at all.

How can a person lose something that he doesn't have?

Not to be trusted by anyone. In the past, this may have been a disadvantage. Tao Jun was restrained everywhere. Any of them could speak more usefully than Tao Jun.

But now perhaps Tao Jun is the one among them who most convinced those in power.

With this realization, everyone was silent for a while, but the silence lasted only a few seconds.

They are like three drowning people, looking at Tao Jun on the shore, everyone agreed to swim together, now we are going to be drowned, but you go ashore alone, is that okay?

"Tao Jun, have you forgotten what your son Tao Jie did? The latest news is that your son Tao Jie is with Du Sishao and Xia Ling. Naked statement, now that your son has chosen sides, do you think other people will believe you?"

In the morning, the deputy bureau wanted to use this matter to pinpoint Tao Jun, but he was turned back by the other party, and the Oda family felt that he was incapable of doing things, and he controls the external forces of the Security Bureau, so the news about the outside of the base is naturally better than other people. Much, get fast.

He wanted to use this to disturb Tao Jun's mind, but he also knew that he said so, and the chance of dragging Tao Jun into the water was very low, but he also thought of using this matter to test Tao Jun and find out what cards the other party had.

Perhaps, knowing Tao Jun's hole cards, he can redeem his merits, regain the trust of the Oda family, and keep his current position.

But Tao Jun didn't give him this chance.

"Deputy director, if you want me to say that you shouldn't have come this time, this matter is still under investigation, you came here in such a hurry, it's okay, maybe there's something wrong." Tao Jun touched the back of his ear neck, the implication is obvious.

Even if they can't be monitored, their trajectories are always in the hands of the people who control their life and death. Usually it doesn't matter, those people don't really care where they go.

But now each of them is being suspected. If they are discovered at this time, they gather here at the same time, even if they just want to protect themselves and discuss countermeasures, it will be understood as a conspiracy.

This undoubtedly pushed the situation that was already unfavorable to them into an even more unfavorable direction.

"Don't be alarmist. Our chip data is in the hands of different families. They don't communicate with each other. They don't usually care where we go. Tao Jun, I think you are gloating!"

Finding that Tao Jun obviously did the same thing as them, but he didn't feel scared at all, and his sorrows and joys were not connected with them, the deputy director's mentality was completely out of balance.

"Scaremongering? My dear deputy director, we are all the most steadfast enforcers of the base's rules, and in a sense we are also the best butchers in the base, but there is still a difference between butchers and butchers. Obviously, you don't need to kill Brain work has degraded your brain a lot."

The deputy director with a big belly is about to fight back. Before calling him a mad dog who likes to bite people, he is now calling him a butcher without thinking. He thinks that Tao Jun is addicted to his personal attacks, but the principal is shocked. , listened to Tao Jun's words.

"Minister Tao is right. Let's leave as soon as possible. If it is discovered that we got together in private, it was nothing before, but it is not necessarily the case now." right and wrong.

But there was the sound of uniform steps at the door, followed by a knock on the door.

"Minister Tao, the director, the deputy director, and the principal, are they all here? Du Shuai invites you to go."

The deputy minister who was thinking about how to word the game in order to win the game, but also severely attacked Tao Jun was completely stupid.

Unexpectedly, not only Tao Jun was right, but also the other party came so quickly, and it was not Oda's house that invited him, but Du Shuai.

What does this mean?
Compared with the deputy director's belated awareness, the director and the principal have already understood it.

Although the five people in power fight with each other and have no trust in each other, they usually trust them a lot. Except for bracelets and chips, there are basically no restrictions.

But when those in power find that they are not trustworthy, and even make small moves behind their backs to shake the interests of all of them, they can immediately unite together, just like they did against Xia Nan back then.

Although they were still puzzled, these actions were not supported by Du Rong, but allowed by others?
Why do you want to settle accounts with them now?
Before they figured out the seriousness of this, they were already invited to the parliament building on the 33rd floor.

Before stepping into this two-story building, several people instinctively trembled. They were all familiar with this place. People from the five major families were here to discuss how to deal with Xia Nan. It was originally just an ordinary house. Xia Nan It was later transformed into a parliament building.

It can be said that it is a council building, but it is basically not used at ordinary times. Even if there is anything that needs to be discussed, it is directly connected through video.

Compared with its functionality, this parliament building is more symbolic and commemorative.

When questioning them here, not only the sense of ritual is full, but the negative emotions of intimidation, fear, and anxiety also occupy their hearts instantly.

Obviously they didn't do anything to betray, and they were obviously not Xia Nan, but this kind of battle made it difficult for them to be optimistic about what they were about to face.

Sure enough, when they saw that the personal guards of those in power in several major bases were there, these guards locked their hands and feet and escorted them into the parliament hall as if they were prisoners, and locked their anklets to the pentagram in the center Inside the lock ring, the power holders of the five major bases sit in the five directions of the council hall.

Except for the pentagram circle in the center, the other places are soft and comfortable dark red carpets, and the power holders of the base on the high steps are arranged in five directions, just like the archbishop in the Middle Ages, who not only enjoy the supreme power of formulating rules , and control their life and death.

Seeing such a big battle, the other three couldn't help pinning their hopes on Tao Jun, because just before opening the door and being brought here, Tao Jun told them in a low voice, if they don't want to die, and don't want to be implicated by the upper-level struggle, they can just look at him How to do it.

Then, they saw Tao Jun still smiling, not caring about the shackles on his body at all, saying hello to these people one by one, begging for mercy from these people who looked down on him warmly and humblely.

The others were thinking about whether to learn it. After all, they were not Tao Jun, and only one of them was in charge of their lives. Wouldn't it be worse for themselves who were already in a crisis of trust by showing their favor to others so openly?

And to please everyone is to please no one, not to mention that these people are not short of greetings.

However, such thoughts didn't linger in their minds for long, and the last thought of wanting to learn from Tao Jun was quickly cut off by Du Rong, who was anxious to get to the point.

"Okay, Tao Jun, don't do this in front of us. We have watched the video and materials you uploaded this morning, and the finger is clearly pointed at me, otherwise we would not be here. You all know where this is. Back then When Xia Nan was finally judged, he stood where you are standing now, since this matter is aimed at me, and some people also want me to stand in that position, we must make things clear today."

Except for Du Rong who was speaking, the people in power of the five major bases were silent.

But all eyes were on Tao Jun.

Tao Jun quickly said: "Du Shuai, you are being serious, how can you stand in Xia Nan's position, and isn't it just a video? What can the video prove?"

"The video can't prove it, but can't it prove the theft of the black market weapon arsenal? Tao Jun, don't play dumb for me!"

Seeing Du Rong glaring at him, Tao Jun was sober. Du Rong didn't really want him to say something that was not good for him, but that the other party needed him, a third party, and wanted to hear something beneficial to the other party from him.

This kind of intention was quickly noticed by others, and the ruler of the Wallenberg family, who had no one of his own in it, interrupted: "Hey, Du, you will make Tao nervous like this. What's the matter? We all know in our hearts, you don’t need to worry, let him speak slowly, and just tell us everything he knows.”

Not long ago, they did receive the latest news from the forest. It was said that "Du Ye" and "Xia Ling" had just appeared there, so they also suspected that someone might be impersonating them.

But people from the Wallenberg family interrupted Du Rong's behavior, which gave another interpretation to this sentence.
