Chapter 27: The Puppet
Waking up from the car, full of discomfort, the alcohol was slowly decomposed by the body, turning into a kind of five-flavor complex, Li Panruo shook his heavy head, looked at the completely dark sky outside the car window, stretched out his hand and couldn't see his five fingers, and the lights were dim, and only in this way could he give him a sense of stability in his heart.
Maybe it's because I originally lived in this darkness that I have such a distorted feeling in my heart.
Lao Wu was lying in the driver's seat snoring, Li Banruo took out his mobile phone, looked at the sign of insufficient power, the time was exactly eight o'clock, looked at the time, was silent for a long time, and finally turned off silently.
I opened the car door and looked at the empty underground parking lot, with a tangled expression, like a person who hadn't laughed for too long and heard a particularly funny joke, but laughed and laughed like tears.
The car window slowly fell, Lao Wu showed his head, looked at Li Panruo's lonely back, and moved to speak, but only made a faint sound, so small that even he couldn't hear it clearly.
"I'm going to die too. Li Panruo turned his head to look at the fifth child and said.
The fifth child shook his head vigorously and replied with a firm look at Li Panruo.
Li Panruo smiled bitterly, this may be a fatal premonition for most people, but why, he doesn't have any fear in his heart, this is what the rivers and lakes give him, so strong that he forgets that he is still alive, and it is precisely because of this that he is invincible?
"Master Ban, you can't be scared, right?" said the fifth smile, as if he wanted to reconcile the oppressive atmosphere.
Li Panruo laughed insolently, and then said an answer that Li Panruo would never say.
"I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, Ma gently gave me the most bloody lesson. Li Panruo said, his voice mixed with a bleak laughter that spread throughout the underground parking lot.
West Side.
Emperor Nine Mansion, Wei Qinghe, who looked tired, put down her mobile phone, she had already spread the news that tomorrow would be Ma Wenrou's funeral in her own way, and as for how many people would be present, she couldn't make a sure.
Standing in the Emperor Nine Building, this will be completely overt, remembering that the woman fell from this height a few days ago, Wei Qinghe just felt terrifying, the horror of this rivers and lakes, because the empire that that woman had forged all her life completely collapsed in just a few days, how could this not make people feel that this world was terrible.
And now, in the face of such a situation, can I really make the right decision?
Even Wei Qinghe's heart was full of this kind of doubt, or absolute wavering.
A young man stumbled through the door and said with sweat on his head: "Consul Wei, Cao Kui is here." ”
Wei Qinghe's expression sank when she heard the word Cao Kui, and at this juncture Cao Kui appeared, which can be described as a weasel greeting the chicken, but now she didn't seem to have room to refuse this man, got up and said, "Let him in." ”
The young man with a flustered face nodded, exited the room, and after a while the door opened, and the first person to enter the room was a man with a bald head and no eyebrows and an extremely evil face, which seemed to make this man play a role with a sense of justice that no matter how much he liked it.
Behind this man, followed by a cynical man with flirtatious eyes, a fairly handsome face with a hint of yin and yang weird smile, and a six-figure suit on his body also gave people a feeling of being a child.
In the end, there is also a man with a Chinese character face, with a wooden expression and a burly figure, who looks like an emotionless robot, but every step is sonorous and powerful.
The three of them entered the room like this, Wei Qinghe got up and bowed deeply to Cao Kui, who was walking in front, giving Cao Kui enough face, but the young man behind Cao Kui stared at the scenery where Wei Qinghe lowered his head, and his face became playful, and Cao Kui, who noticed it, glared at him fiercely, and this young man was a little restrained.
"I heard that the funeral will be held tomorrow, is it too anxious? Holding a funeral at this time, the consuls below really don't necessarily sell this face, without Ma Gentle, the hearts of the people in the Dijiu Mansion are like a plate of loose sand. Cao Kui sat down opposite Wei Qinghe and said preconceptively, it seemed that he was on Wei Qinghe's side.
But Wei Qinghe didn't think so in her heart, Cao Kui was a more tricky existence in her heart than the Bai family, the Liu family, and the Zhou family, because this man's ambition might be the entire Emperor Nine Mansion, but she didn't show any vigilance, just said with a natural face: "Will stand on the side of the Emperor Nine Mansion, even if Director Ma is gone, he will still stand on this side, he will not stand on the side of the Emperor Nine Mansion, even if Director Ma is still alive, he still won't." ”
This is a sentence that is easy to find fault, but Cao Kui didn't pursue anything, just looked at Wei Qinghe with a deep face, thinking that Ma Wenrou had indeed shaped this woman like a rebirth in the past two years, but there was still no comparison with Ma Wenrou in Taoism.
It's no wonder that this storm happened too early, if the woman in front of her was given another five years of cultivation time, it might be a different situation now.
But in reality, there will never be such an option, if there can be two luck among the lucky ones in a sense, Cao Kui continued: "That's true, but I think the most important thing to do now is to choose the heir of Ma Wenrou, now the Emperor Nine Mansion is a group of dragons without a leader, so it has become a plate of scattered sand." ”
I have to say that this speech is extremely sensitive, especially in front of herself, Wei Qinghe seems to be able to feel the terrifying aggression in Cao Kui's eyes, she tried to calm down, and continued: "According to the Emperor Nine Convention, the new curator needs the votes of two of the three black-collar workers to be able to take office, and now with the situation in the mansion, it is estimated that a new curator will not be elected, right?"
After hearing this, Cao Kui smiled a little sarcastically, and then said: "The covenant is dead, people are alive, can you just let the situation go on like this? If it continues like this, it is not good for anyone, there are evil wolves in front and evil tigers in the back, and the Emperor Nine Mansion cannot be smashed in such a situation." ”
Wei Qinghe had completely understood what Cao Kui meant, but still asked, "Consul Cao, I don't know what you mean by this?"
Cao Kui didn't speak in a hurry, just squinted his eyes slightly at Wei Qinghe, but Cao Shisan behind him was a little restless, and his eyes were full of desire to look at Wei Qinghe's exquisite face.
Cai Kui wanted to stand on her own, although Wei Qinghe knew this a little bit early on, but she didn't expect Cao Kui to dare to say such a thing to her so blatantly, which made it difficult for her to do it, because she imagined that tearing her face with Cao Kui would only make the situation worse, so for Cao Kui, who took advantage of the fire to rob the general, Wei Qinghe's heart was full of bitterness, and she couldn't even hate it, because she didn't have the capital to hate now.
"Miss Wei, I think you may have misunderstood what I mean, I don't mean that I sit in this curator, but push you to sit in this curator, rightly speaking, after all, Ma Wenrou entrusted the Dijiu Mansion to you a year ago, and let you do this position, it is very appropriate, if there are any complaints below, I will turn these complaints into loyalty." Cao Kui said, it seemed to be light, but it made Wei Qinghe's expression change drastically.
She never thought that Cao Kui actually planned to help her to the throne, but she digested such a message after a minute, because she was very sure that Cao Kui wanted to make her a puppet, because there would be no such thing as pie in the world, and even if it existed, it would not exist in her body at all.
But although he had fully understood what Cao Kui meant, Wei Qinghe didn't dare to pick it out, because this was undoubtedly tantamount to developing his so-called ally into an enemy.
"Now, I don't want to think about it so much, I want to wait until after the funeral to face all this, Ma Wenrou has a kindness to me, I just want to send her away with dignity now. Wei Qinghe said, euphemistically avoiding the topic.
But Cao Kui didn't press each other tightly, just got up and said: "My words are put here for the time being, Miss Wei, you can contact me at any time, I, and even the Cao family in the capital will support you strongly, you just need to go forward." ”
"Thank you Consul Cao for your kindness, I will definitely consider it carefully. Wei Qinghe got up and said, and then watched Cao Kui lead people away, and the young man who was leaving squeezed her eyes, of course, Wei Qinghe just responded with a polite smile.
It wasn't until Cao Kui had completely left that Wei Qinghe sat down slowly, and she found that the shirt behind her was completely soaked with sweat.
Cao Kui is an uninvited guest in the absolute sense, and Cao Kui's purpose is also the most lethal for her, but unfortunately now she can only barely parry, and after the funeral, it is still unknown whether she can send Cao Kui away like now.
Bitterness, or powerlessness wrapped around Wei Qinghe's heart, and at this moment, the door opened, and a man with a temperament as black as this night quietly walked into the room.
This man, nicknamed the Owl, has melted into the dark web of Xicheng for two years, and every night will bloom that deep darkness.
"The Bai family and the Zhou family have reached an alliance, and the Liu family has also roped in a few consuls to form a front, except for Cao Kui in Xicheng now, maybe no one will be on your side. The man said in a hoarse, cold voice.
"Cao Kui will not be on my side, never, only I will be on his side. Wei Qinghe replied.
"Now this game of chess, no matter how you play, you will lose. The man said without hesitation.
These words are not what Ma Wenrou asked you to say. "She didn't seem to be hit much.
"I know you've bet on another person, but Li Banruo can't break such an impasse. ”
