After probably having a few plans, Guo Kang stopped asking questions.
Li Xuanying probably won't be able to ask too many valuable questions. It's not that he doesn't know, it's that Guo Kang feels that the information he can provide is too difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Li Xuanying himself didn't know whether what he learned was the real situation, the real situation after his own imagination, or the "real situation" after his little lover modified it for him. Of course, it is more likely that the two have been "grooming" each other over the years of getting along.
It is not completely impossible to find out the real situation from these words, but it is too troublesome for an outsider like Guo Kang. Moreover, they have to consider their emotions during constant direct questioning, especially this woman's emotional feelings towards Li Xuanying. Influence.
The Greeks recorded a story. It is said that there is a knot in the city of Gordium. There is a prophecy that whoever unties the knot can conquer Asia, but no one has been able to untie it before. After Alexander arrived, he split the knot with a sword and directly solved the problem. Later, the prophecy was indeed fulfilled.
Of course, the scope of Asia referred to here is not as large as that defined by later generations, and it can basically be understood as a synonym for Persia. As for places further afield, the Greeks back then didn’t have much of an idea. Although Guo Kang considers himself to be from Seris and is considered to be in the east, there is no need to bring himself in. After all, the difference between him and those Persians and Central Asians is not small.
On the contrary, he is also prepared to use this method to solve the problem. He estimated that a new war was coming soon, and he might not have much time left to worry about these things.
Thinking of this, he told Li Xuanying directly in Chinese: "I can't judge the situation based on one side of the story, neither yours nor Eudosia's. In this situation, not only you, but she herself may not be able to confirm her words."
"Like you, she has too strong a subjective stance on this issue. I can't even tell whether some of the things she said were lies deliberately or she really didn't know. Even if it's the lying part, is it because of evil or to maintain this The feelings of disparity in status are beautified intentionally or unintentionally, and cannot be distinguished. And in this case, subjective intention is precisely the most important."
"It's not that I look down on her." Guo Kang shook his head: "I really think that everyone is equal in personality and soul. But the problem is that in the real world, there are too many influencing factors beyond this."
"If we fall in love because of soul compatibility, then I will admit that the two lovers are equal. But people have too many characteristics. How can you tell if the other person is interested in your status and money?" He warned: "If the main goal is not love itself, but involves unequal things such as status and money, then I can't treat it in an equal way."
"Okay." Li Xuanying could only nod: "Then how are you going to investigate?"
"If money and status are involved, it is impossible not to reveal the truth." Guo Kang said: "This kind of preparation will definitely involve many people and leave a lot of traces, which is not difficult to find."
"You are hiding something because you are weak and cannot get the support of your family. Of course it is easy to hide it from one person. But don't worry, if you want to hide it from many people for a long time, the difficulty will increase by more than just a little bit. ." he explained.
"If you weren't worried about irritating the relevant people or making the matter bigger, it wouldn't actually be a big deal. Because as long as the scope of the investigation is large enough, there is no point in concealing it in the face of the huge information gap."
"So that's it." Li Xuanying roughly understood his train of thought, and after being talked about for a long time, she became more sober: "But what does it mean to show off one's flaws?"
"Uh..." Guo Kang couldn't say that this was an allusion to Zhu Dajiao's grandma, so he had to forcefully explain: "I heard that when the ancients made a sneak attack, they would hide their soldiers and horses and move secretly. But soldiers are easy to hide, and war horses are easy to hide. But it’s hard to cover up, and the horse’s hooves will be exposed, so that’s why it’s said. It’s probably an unpopular allusion.”
"That's it." Li Xuanying nodded and didn't care anymore: "Okay, then I'll ask you to help me."
"On my side... I don't seem to be able to investigate too much without alarming the family." He sighed, as if he felt guilty: "I'll keep it a secret from Eudocia for the time being. . But if there is any situation, you have to tell me first."
"If she is involved, I will tell you first." Guo Kang began to bargain: "As for other people, I promise not to let the true intention leak out. The investigation... well, let Tuo Huan know at most, you see if that works. "
"When I transfer people here, I have to give a reason. It's easy for mistakes to happen if the times are too many. It's easier for him to transfer people," he explained.
Li Xuanying thought for a moment.
"Okay." He nodded.
Although having sex is careless, the key things are still clear. Moreover, as long as he agrees, he will always be very strict with his mouth and will not talk nonsense even when he is drunk - otherwise Tianfang's friends will not come to him to drink grape juice every day.
Therefore, Li Xuanying can accept calling him for help when necessary.
After the two discussed it, they fell silent.
After a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor. Eudocia opened the door and walked in.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp, both Guo Kang and Li Xuanying looked thoughtful. She glanced at both sides, showing an unexpected expression.
"Is waiting too boring?" She asked with a smile: "Sorry, it took a little long to ask. Daniel didn't know where he went, so I had to ask other people."
"It is true that the gang activities of the Ross people have been frequent recently, but we don't know their purpose. You also know that although the troupe and gangs have always been in contact, everyone actually doesn't want to have too much contact with them." Eudosia Saying that, he sat down.
"There is news that they have recently found an opportunity to intervene in higher-level affairs. Maybe they are on the line with the officials above. But this kind of thing will definitely change the current situation, so of course it will also arouse the concern of other gangs. Bounce.”
"Although I don't know if this is the direct cause of your friend's trouble, I think it may have something to do with it." She looked at Guo Kang and said: "Although gang leaders and counselors always want to devise plans, their subordinates are not The army. When it comes to large-scale operations, everyone will always do their own thing and make the situation a mess."
"If your friend has no interaction with gangsters on weekdays, then it is very likely that he was approached by those unscrupulous gang members under such circumstances. But in this case, it shouldn't be a big deal, because their target is not here. Beat up the culprits, scare those people, and the problem will be solved,” she suggested.
