Volume 1 Destiny Chapter 2: From the Darkness
In Zhongzhou, as a city second only to Youzhou, the imperial capital, Huating is twenty-four hours a day, and almost all corners of the city are filled with busy scenes.
This is especially true at stations.
With the steady improvement of the status of Zhongzhou in the world, the development of Huating seems to have reached a peak, more and more people began to come to this prosperous big city to look for opportunities, the station is full of people, in a hurry, dense crowds can be seen everywhere in all corners of the station.
There are so many people.
This is Li Tianlan's first impression of Huating.
Dressed in coarse cloth clothes and holding a paper bag in his hand, he followed the crowd out of the station, feeling uncomfortable from the inside out.
Too many people, too fast, that's the only feeling he feels.
The city seems to exude an invisible pressure all the time, everyone around them is hurrying, this super fast pace is like a terrible infectious disease, can easily infect everyone, so everyone is getting faster and faster, completely a posture that wants to exhaust themselves.
Li Tianlan's heart was like water, when he first arrived, even if he was assimilated by the rhythm of the city, he didn't do it so quickly, walked out of the station, bought a bottle of mineral water for one yuan and took a sip, Li Tianlan stood calmly and waited.
An hour ago, when he was still on the road, he pulled out the business card in the paper bag and dialed the number on it.
He has just come out of the primeval forest, the mobile phone for the call is still borrowed from an aunt who looks very kind, the phone is answered by a woman who seems to be very young when she listens to her voice, her voice is cold, she claims to be called Burning Fire, a very strange name and the opposite of the cold tone, the two sides agreed to meet at the exit in an hour, calculate the time, it should be about the same now.
Li Tianlan suddenly smiled.
Ignite a fire.
For him, the name really means something.
A young girl who happened to walk past Li Tianlan heard Li Tianlan's laughter, subconsciously took a few steps away, and looked at him frowning slightly, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
Li Tianlan is indeed not ugly, but he is not handsome with his appearance, plus at this time he is dressed in coarse cloth clothes, carrying a bottle of mineral water in his hand, and tightly holding a paper bag that obviously has no banknotes, and he is alive and well The image of a dirt bun who has never seen the world, such a person, who smirks at anyone for no reason, the other party is not expected to be in a good mood.
The very ordinary-looking young girl glared at Li Tianlan and turned to leave.
Li Tianlan took a sip of water and laughed at it.
For this city, he who spent most of his life in the primeval forest is indeed a dirt bun, but he doesn't feel that there is anything to be inferior to, there is a grandfather who has had a big ups and downs in his life to make his nineteen years of life bumpy and fulfilling, from the heart, Li Tianlan has never felt that he is worse than his peers, now he has a perfect starting point, he firmly believes that as long as he is given time, others can have it, and sooner or later, he will have it.
And it won't be too long.
A brand-new black Audi slowly drove into the station, and finally came to the exit and stopped in front of Li Tianlan.
The driver's door opened, and a woman with a delicate face but a cold face stepped out of the car, came straight to Li Tianlan, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Li? ”
"I'm Li Tianlan. ”
Li Tianlan smiled, and looked at the woman in front of him very seriously.
At the age of about thirty years old, less than one meter seven in height, her appearance can even be said to be beautiful, plain face to the sky, the whole person gives people a crisp and neat feeling, the only pity is that her expression is too cold, which makes people feel cold in their hearts, if her expression can be eased, walking on the street, it is definitely not difficult to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
The pedestrians nearby also began to look at this side intentionally or unintentionally, although the temperament on the fire is infiltrating, but it is still a beauty, and the beautiful car now suddenly appears in front of a silly-looking dirt bun, the picture is very disobedient, and the pedestrians who come and go are also happy to pay more attention.
Burning Huo turned a blind eye to the strange eyes around him, and after confirming Li Tianlan's identity, he nodded and said, "The boss is here to pick you up in person, get in the car." ”
As soon as her words fell, a soft sound came from behind her.
In Li Tianlan's sight, the door of the rear seat of the Audi slowly opened, and a slender and feminine calf stepped on a pair of black stiletto heels and gently knocked on the ground.
A tall young figure got out of the back seat of the Audi and looked at Li Tianlan.
At this moment, Li Tianlan only saw a pair of eyes as bright as a galaxy.
Ranhuo turned around and looked at the boss who suddenly appeared from the car, looking surprised.
The woman who took the initiative to get out of the car took two steps forward gently, stepping on the ground with a stiletto heel, but the crisp voice seemed to knock on the hearts of all men.
Li Tianlan's face was dull.
The woman's eyes were complicated.
"I'm slightly white. ”
After a short silence, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said, "Qin Weibai." ”
Burning Huo's eyes became more and more surprised, in the entire Huating, people who knew her mysterious boss also knew that the boss would never shake hands with anyone of the opposite sex, why was this dirt bun in front of him so preferential?
"Oh, I'm Li Tianlan. ”
Li Tianlan came back to his senses suddenly, and grabbed Qin Weibai's little hand, which was soft and warm, like a rare warm jade in the world.
Li Tianlan's heart was so confused that he was a little red for a while.
In the nineteen years of life, he is most proud of his state of mind, even if it is evaluated by his grandfather Li Honghe's harsh requirements, he is worthy of the comment that his heart is as flawless as stopping water, but at this moment his state of mind is like stopping water, but it exploded and was turbulent.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, and his eyes finally fell on Qin Weibai's face again.
The woman in front of him could be said to be the most perfect woman he had ever seen in his life.
Her figure is slender and tall, barefoot at least more than 1.75 meters tall After wearing high heels, it is enough to make most men ashamed of themselves, a face that can be said to be a country and a city with sharp and delicate lines, especially a pair of bright eyes, calm and profound, can make all men sink into it willingly.
She stood quietly in front of Li Tianlan, letting Li Tianlan grab her little hand, clear and cold.
It's like snow on the horizon.
Like the moon in the clouds.
Ethereal, like a fairy who will ride the wind in the next second.
The legacy is independent, and the elegance is peerless, which is probably such a woman.
Li Tianlan's men subconsciously tightened a little.
The eyes of the burning fire who noticed this detail suddenly turned cold, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in the whole person.
How keen is Li Tianlan's perception? Before Burning Fire could speak, he had already realized his gaffe, and quickly let go and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin." ”
"It's okay, if you want, you can call me Weibai directly in the future. ”
Qin Weibai withdrew his hand quietly and said in a soft tone.
"Mr. Qin's name is not good, where is it slightly white, it is simply white and red, and his demeanor is unparalleled. ”
Li Tianlan forced himself to regain his composure and opened his mouth with a smile.
Burning the fire turned his head to the side, resisting the urge to scold, but his heart was already extremely dissatisfied with this dirt bun who dared to speak out and tease his boss.
Qin Weibai's eyes were in a violent trance, and at this moment, even Li Tianlan could clearly feel that the perfect woman's mind in front of her seemed to have drifted somewhere, but she quickly came back to her senses and chuckled: "Let's get in the car and talk." ”
Li Tianlan nodded, and followed Qin Weibai into the back seat of the Audi under the envious and jealous eyes of the pedestrians around him.
The burning fire, whose face became more and more cold, started the car, and the car quickly left the station and entered the wide and neat street of Huating.
In the back of the car, Qin Weibai picked up an extremely heavy notebook from her side as soon as she sat in the car, the blue cover looked old, she opened it softly and flipped through it, and the paper that was already a little yellowed was densely covered with handwriting, Qin Weibai closed the notebook and held it in his hand, and said softly: "Go eat something?"
"Good. ”
Li Tianlan nodded directly, when he came out of Li Village, he only brought a total of a few hundred yuan in banknotes, and after buying the ticket, there were still pitiful three yuan and five cents left in his pocket, and a boxed lunch in the car cost fifty dollars, Li Tianlan endured it until now, and he was indeed hungry.
"Let's go to Yu's to eat private food, and then prepare some daily necessities for you, and tomorrow I will take you to Sky Academy to arrange for you to enroll. Tianlan, in Huating, you can find me for anything, I will try my best to solve it, my mobile phone will be turned on 24 hours a day, you can call me at any time. ”
Qin Weibai stroked the notebook in his hand and looked at Li Tianlan beside him, his tone was very serious.
Smelling the faint fragrance of the beautiful woman beside him, looking at the dreamlike face in his sight, Li Tianlan's heartbeat accelerated again, he forced himself to shift his gaze, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Mr. Qin." ”
Qin Weibai frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the title of Mr. Qin, but he didn't say much.
Li Tianlan was also silent, and looked at the Huating outside the car window with some distraction.
Rows of high-rise buildings, roaring cars, well-dressed pedestrians strolling through the streets, old people holding children's hands, laughing and laughing.
There is also the warm sunshine that is rarely felt at the border.
Scenes of prosperity kept reversing in the advance of the vehicles.
Li Tianlan's eyes were in a trance, and his pale face was complicated and sad.
He remembered again the father he had never met.
Twenty years ago, his father was one of the top special operators in Middle-earth, but at the height of his career, he died in the most humiliating way on the border between Middle-earth and Annam.
The crime is treason.
Conclusive.
If the most influential treason case in recent years had not happened, his life would probably have been different since he was a child.
Just like these people outside the car window, if not better.
He didn't think it was tempting to see the high-rise buildings and cars outside the window, but for the first time, this dirt bun who lived in the lush forest all year round felt that a place with sunshine and laughter was where people lived.
The prosperous scene in front of him was a beautiful scene that he could never have dreamed of.
Li Tianlan suddenly thought of the camp on the border, thought of the veterans who had banished him to the border for many years with his grandfather after his father's treason, and thought of Ye Dongsheng's words.
Ye Dongsheng said that he could work hard to overturn the case for his father and return him to his innocence.
If my father was really innocent back then, then who caused the treason case back then?
And who killed his father?
"Who are they? What are they trying to do? Why is all this?"
Who they are, Li Tianlan doesn't know yet, but he can be sure that if this they really exist, then the other party definitely has the strength to stand in this city, and even stand at the peak of the entire Central Continent.
The scene outside the window is getting more and more prosperous.
Li Tianlan pursed his lips tightly, there was pressure in his heart, but more than that, he had infinite fighting spirit.
"What are you thinking?"
Qin Weibai, who was always looking at Li Tianlan beside him, suddenly asked.
"They shouldn't live in that kind of place, really shouldn't. ”
Li Tianlan stared at everything outside the window with his eyes fixed on him, and muttered to himself.
A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Weibai's cold and delicate face, she seemed to understand Li Tianlan's meaning, but she didn't seem to understand: "Some people say that the city of Huating is lonely for a thousand years, a glorious era, this is a miracle city with zero degree rise, Tianlan, if this comment is placed on you, what do you think?"
Lonely for a thousand years, a glorious era...
Li Tianlan's eyes were still looking out of the window, plain as water, and he smiled: "How can I have this ability?"
On his side, Qin Weibai sighed softly, and subconsciously opened the heavy notebook in his hand that had been around for some years.
On the yellowed paper, hundreds of words leap onto the page, like a diary of someone.
In all fairness, the handwriting on the paper is not pretty, but it has a kind of sharp edge, every stroke is through the back of the paper, and the words are like swords, sharp and incomparable!
Qin Weibai's gaze stayed on the last sentence of the diary, stunned.
"Everything that was in the light of the sun was vanity. I come from darkness with eternal majesty. ”
