NO.331 IDENTITY
Humming a little tune, he walked back slowly, knowing that no one would follow him all the way, because the surveillance cameras on the fence were enough to transmit everything about him to the person behind the scenes.
The safety of Nanyuan Hua Qianqiu Community is an exemplary existence in Q City. Whether it is a 360° high-definition panoramic monitoring system or an infrared automatic alarm system, or every security officer is a veteran, each of these can make the owner's sense of security skyrocket. But now this heavy layer of security has become a shackle for the speakers, not to mention that the man behind the back has pointed the gun at the speaker.
In fact, as long as Ling Shou moved his fingers, he could tear down all these surveillance cameras, and even as long as he was willing to tear down the entire wall of Hua Qianqiu, it would not take him an hour, but he knew that the consequences of doing so would be meaningless except for revealing his identity.
"Why can't you go in?"
Ling Shou was still sorting out today's harvest in his mind, and Wang Ximing's voice was faintly heard in his ears, although the voice was not loud, but there was undisguised anger.
"Military important places, idle people, etc. are not allowed to enter. ”
The two soldiers stood in front of Wang Ximing and the three of them with serious faces, without the slightest intention of backing down, in their eyes, military orders were more important than everything.
Ling Shou continued to walk slowly forward, just watching them freeze there. After all, given the human hearing distance, he shouldn't have heard what they were talking about. But fortunately, Kimura Hiroshi had sharp eyes, and when he turned around, he happened to see him.
Kimura Hiroshi waved his hand in the direction of Ling Shou and shouted, "Ling Shou, why didn't I answer your call? ”
"Looking for me?" Ling Shou quickened his pace, but did not answer the reason why he didn't answer the phone. Would it hurt him to say that he hadn't even thought about who he was going to answer?
"I want to take another look at their tombstones. When talking about the tombstone, Wang Ximing paused obviously, after all, the pain in his heart is not something that can be easily suppressed by pressure.
"I don't think that's necessary. Ling Shou's cynical ruffian look is like losing the sadness of yesterday. He walked straight past Wang Ximing, and did not turn to look at him until he crossed the cordon. "I don't think I can go to the board of directors the day after tomorrow, why don't I trouble you to be my agent?"
"Agent?" Wang Ximing was stunned, but he firmly believed that pies would not fall out of the sky. "Say, what's the condition?"
Ling Shou thought about it and was a little embarrassed. "I haven't thought of it yet. ”
"Ling Shou, what are you thinking?" Wang Ximing not only couldn't see through Ling Shou's position, but also couldn't guess his purpose. Such a cheap exchange for others may gladly accept it, but he Wang Ximing is not.
Ling Shou pointed to the big tree behind him and sighed, "Hey, I'll tell you the truth." I'm very busy right now, and I don't have the time to listen to those people's ramblings. Besides, there shouldn't be anything big going on with such a big group, so I don't have to worry about letting you be an agent. Oh, by the way, Hainu and Ye Yingyi's you are also acting as agents. ”
"You ......" Wang Ximing wanted to say but stopped. Isn't this pie too big, wouldn't it be worth the loss if you didn't catch it and hit yourself?
Ling Shou waited for a while and didn't see Wang Ximing speak again, so his eyes swept to Xue Beibei's face, "Since Mr. Wang is unwilling, do you want to ask Miss Xue for help?"
Xue Beibei was also taken aback, "Me?"
"Send the proxy to me, and remember to inform the board. Wang Ximing didn't know what Ling Shou was calculating, but it was indeed a good thing for him to have 13% more usage rights.
"Okay. Ling Shou raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, then turned around and walked towards the villa.
Wang Ximing stopped Ling Shou at the moment he opened the door, "Ling Shou, I just want to go in and say a final goodbye......"
"You've been standing there for a long time, and it's time to move on. Ling Shou didn't wait for Wang Ximing to finish speaking, and closed the door with a word.
"Is he okay?" Ye Xunxing sat on the sofa and didn't go out to see Wang Ximing, but it didn't mean that she didn't care about him at all.
"If you care about him, why don't you go and see it for yourself?" Ling Shou put down what he was holding and stood and watched from a distance.
"There's no need. Ye Xunxing walked in front of Ling Shou, and the two stood looking at each other across the middle island in the kitchen. "Are you okay?"
"Not good. Ling Shou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of those fresh faces outside, "It seems that we have already been targeted." ”
Although the speakers had been mentally prepared, they did not expect this day to come so suddenly. They had been very careful, and had barely used any of the Whisperer's abilities outside.
Ye Xunxing simply sat down on the high stool on the island in the kitchen, and said unhurriedly: "Soma said that there are five people following you, how did you solve it?"
Ling Shou roughly explained the journey along the way, very detailed, without any omissions. But the more he spoke, the more he felt that Ye Xunxing's face was wrong, "Patriarch, what did I do wrong?"
"No, I just didn't expect ......" Ye Xunxing didn't go on. She didn't expect that she would send five people over just by staring at her, and she didn't expect that even the supermarket outside the community would be put into the eyeliner, and the last thing she expected was that Ling Shou would expose the identities of the five people so impulsively......
"To be honest, I still don't believe that the other party is Hong Yuan, if it was him, it would be impossible for him to send Li Hengyu over. Moreover, this scene has been laid so big, which means that they must have evidence in their hands that they can come up with, right...... "Ling Shou also knows that their situation is already very dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that the sacred tree still has the use value, the other party must not have waited so long." But he couldn't figure out why he would send Li Hengyu to spy on them, after all, Xunxing and Li Hengyu had a personal relationship.
Ye Xunxing shook his head, "Why can't you send Li Hengyu over?"
"You know him so well, didn't Hong Yuan send him over to help us invisibly?" Ta Keke's brain was spinning fast at this moment, and he was the fastest in terms of answering speeds.
After a long sigh, Ye Xun Xing spoke, "You have all forgotten that Xun Xing is dead, and no one here has an old friend with Li Hengyu." ”
The words of the night star-hunting rang in the ears of the speakers like a distant bell, awakening their minds and shaking their souls.
"It seems that you are all sober, now you should also know that it doesn't matter if Li Hengyu comes over, right?" Ye Xunxing is not a leader who easily blames his subordinates, but she has not found such an obvious loophole, which really makes her a little disappointed.
"It's a subordinate responsibility. Ling Shou didn't expect him to make such a low-level mistake.
Ye Xunxing smiled faintly, and attached the palm of his hand to the back of Ling Shou's hand. "Now is not the time to be held accountable, and it is only a matter of time before we reveal our identities. ”
"When the patriarch comes out, I'll see how long they can be arrogant. "Tacoco still has an account that hasn't been settled, and I'm not afraid to save two more.
"Hong Yuan is finally here. Ye Xunxing looked in the direction of the entrance, it seemed that others didn't plan to give them so much time to prepare this time.
After three crisp knocks on the door, Hong Yuan's deep voice came, "Ling Shou, let's talk." ”
Ling Shou opened the door with a hearty smile on his face. "Yo, Elder Hong, please come in. We were about to send you a mock-up in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come in person. There's a bit of chaos in there, you just sit and sit casually. ”
"This house is really messy, why don't I arrange another place for you to live?" Hong Yuan sat down with a smile, looking very kind.
"It's okay, it's convenient to live here. When we couldn't live anymore, we went outside and pitched our tents like the soldiers. Ling Shou said it boldly, but the implication was also obvious, to put it bluntly, it was to let Hong Yuan not meddle in his affairs.
"I thought you were all pampered children, but I didn't expect you to be hard-working models! Hong Yuan's gaze swept over the faces of the speakers one by one, and finally landed on Ling Shou's face. "I've never liked to go around in circles, and today I'm here for your identity. I've noticed you from the moment you appeared next to the Star Girl, after all, the Star Girl has a lot of sharp weapons in her hands. ”
"I didn't expect us to be so important in your eyes, tell me, what have you found? "Ling Shou really didn't expect Hong Yuan to investigate them so early. However, he was ready to fight to the death, so at the moment he became calm.
"It's just that I can't find anything. Why don't you tell me where the hell did you come from?" Hong Yuan's eyes flashed, and it seemed that he didn't plan to tell the truth to Ling Shou.
Ling Shou didn't want to waste saliva in circles, and he smiled when he looked at the soldiers that Hong Yuan brought into the house. "Since Elder Hong refuses to say, then we won't ask. But, you must have been able to bring so many people to the door early in the morning, right?"
Hong Yuan was not in a hurry, and leaned on the sofa leisurely and spoke slowly: "There is indeed something, but it is not a big deal." When I have nothing to do, I will stop by and take a look, after all, I don't know what kind of tree this tree is. You see that I have used so much manpower and material resources to help you, you have to let me give an explanation. ”
"Honestly, I don't know what kind of tree it is. It is only known that it loves water and grows extremely fast. I just want to see the limits of its growth, and I can't do anything else. But didn't you ask the research team? I'll leave that to the professionals. "It's true that Ling Shou can't lie, but with his IQ, he can completely get around the problem. When he didn't fully understand what chips Hong Yuan was holding in his hand, he didn't want to lose so easily.
"Mr. Ling, this is being polite to me. Speaking of professionals, I don't think anyone can compare to you, right? Frankly speaking, Qin Ran was recommended to me by country U, and I also wanted to use him to test your bottom. But I never expected you to recognize him at a glance, but the country of U has been hiding him for a long time. The point is that according to my investigation, there is no intersection between you and Qin Ran, how did you recognize him?"
Hong Yuan finally started to get to the point, and he attacked so fiercely at the beginning.
"Elder Hong, aren't you underestimating me? Since I can take out Park Xiuyu's file, are you still afraid that I won't be able to take out Qin Ran's? But you actually colluded with the people of Country U, which really disappointed me. "There is no reason for Ling Shou to put such a big basin of dirty water in country U, besides, who has made country U and country C have always been enemies who do not agree with each other.
Hong Yuan smiled, of course he knew the meaning of Ling Shou's words, but how could he be a military commander with some people with unreliable mouths by his side. "Fortunately, all the people I brought today are people I trust, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wash the pot of this U country. ”
"I just think that if I had known that you and C were so harmonious, then I wouldn't have to work so hard to find the stars before I was alive, who is this product sold to, right?" Ling Shou continued to talk to himself as if he hadn't heard Hong Yuan's explanation.
"You don't need to mention the name of the star girl, after all, the name of a dead person is not very practical. She is her, you are you. "There is still some friendship in the heart of Hongyuan, who is the smartest and most powerful woman he has ever seen, there is no one. He didn't want this group of people to always talk to him with the name of the star, which was disrespectful to the dead and a blasphemy against their friendship.
Ling Shou was not upset that Hong Yuan separated him from the name of the star, on the contrary, he thought it was very good. "Okay, let's talk about me. You openly sent Li Hengyu to protect us, but in private you controlled the entire community. I don't know what I can do to force you to go to such great lengths to set up a game for me, so you might as well tell me now, or maybe what you want is worthless to me. ”
"Your identity, your true identity. There are so many suspicions about you, and I have to be careful. Hong Yuan used the entire military and black market forces to find out the true identities of Ling Shou and the others, and it was impossible for him to let them leave safely for this alone.
"Elder Hong, is my identity really more important than my position? We have not had any conflict all this time, and of course I dare to guarantee that we will not be enemies of you and country C. Ling Shou had to remind Hong Yuan once again that they were not enemies and did not need to be enemies.
Hong Yuan didn't know the meaning of Ling Shou's words, but his position did not allow him to mix any personal emotions. "Maybe you don't know how hot you are, even if you don't become enemies of country C, country C won't dare to take you in. Now it's not up to me to call the shots, I'm just an errand runner. Perhaps only if you explain who you really are and what you want to do, will you be able to get out of this situation once and for all. Hong Yuan saw that Ling Shou hadn't seen the situation clearly until now, so he could only say it clearly.
"You mean......" Although Ling Shou couldn't believe it, Hong Yuan's eyes were already very sure.
"Buying time, they shouldn't know the importance of this tree yet. Ye Xunxing didn't expect the situation to have developed to this point, and the frowning brow fully explained her concern.
"So it seems that you weren't interested in this tree in the first place, you just needed a reason to approach us. Not only did Ling Shou stall, but he also wanted to find out when Hong Yuan started to do it.
Hong Yuan nodded.
As long as the target of those people behind Hong Yuan is not the Sacred Tree, they can escape safely even if they are caught. Isn't it just revealing our identity, who cares?" "If we can't prove ourselves, what are you going to do with us?"
Ye Xunxing suddenly had a pain in his fingers, and when he opened it, he found that there was a small opening on his fingertips.
As soon as Ling Shou saw the wound, he knew what was happening, and only damage to the sacred tree would cause damage to the consciousness of the night star. He glared at Hong Yuan angrily, "Let your people stop immediately, otherwise everything will not be discussed!"
"What?" Hong Yuan was stunned, he turned his head to look at the people he brought, and stood up straight one by one.
Just when Ling Shou was talking to Hong Yuan, there was another blood mark on Ye Xunxing's finger, but fortunately, the wound was very thin and stopped naturally without much blood. At this time, Ling Shou became even more angry, and suddenly grabbed Hong Yuan's collar and gritted his teeth and said: "I'll say it one last time, let the people outside stop! Whoever dares to touch this tree again, I will kill him!"
Hong Yuanping retreated from the guards who were about to step forward, looked at his collar and then at Ling Shou, "How do you know that someone is moving your tree?"
Night Xunxing stepped forward and grabbed Ling Shou's left hand, which was already about to swing his fist. "Ling, let go. These minor injuries are out of the way. ”
Hong Yuan watched Ling Shou's fist stop in mid-air and didn't fall for a long time, he was really a little nervous in his heart, frankly speaking, he hadn't been hit in the face for ten years, let alone being beaten by a kid in his twenties. "Boy, why don't you let me go first, and let's go alone?"
Ling Shou withdrew his fist and let go of Hong Yuan, but he was still angry. "Tell me, what are you going to do with us?"
"Again, the people behind me are only interested in who you are. Sending people to watch you is just to find out what you are doing. "Hong Yuan's position is already obvious, he doesn't want to do it, but it doesn't mean that the people behind him don't want to do it either.
"Hey...... I said that I was innocent, and you didn't believe me. Why don't you tell us what kind of details you want, maybe we can agree. Ling Shou was speechless. The bottom is fine, and he can do whatever the bottom line others want, how simple it is.
"Are you going to confess?" Hong Yuan saw that he had been talking bitterly for so long, and Ling Shou still couldn't confess to him, and his heart was suddenly a little depressed.
"I see. Ye Xunxing seemed to understand, nodded and smiled a little bitter. "Ling, you tell him that you only need five days, and after five days, you will explain everything to him. ”
Ling Shou knew that this was just a delaying tactic, and it seemed that there was no way to find the stars at night. "Give me five days and I'm going to think about it. ”
"Three days. "Hong Yuan has to explain to the above, after all, this is not just their country C's business.
Seeing that the star-seeking comparison drew a "four", Ling Shou immediately opened his mouth to bargain: "Four days, no less." ”
Hong Yuan thought for a while and said, "Four days is fine, but you can't leave the villa for half a step." ”
Seeing that Ye Xunxing nodded, Ling Shou replied briskly: "Deal." ”
"Don't try to sneak away, there are hundreds of eyes out there staring at you. Hong Yuan couldn't help but tell him before leaving.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" Ling Shou was not sure, could it be that what happened three thousand years ago was going to repeat itself again?
"Recharge your batteries! I am sure that the sacred tree will bloom in four days, and then we will be able to walk away. The night star moved his finger and a strong wind hung outside the house, but in the blink of an eye, the raindrops the size of beans poured down.
The sacred tree grows fast and crazy under the nourishment of the rain, and the roots of the tree are always the first to respond. They grew unchecked, and even the sofa in the living room was raised four or five centimeters in an instant. The soldiers outside had never seen a plant growing so quickly, and some of them were almost dumbfounded and stood motionless.
"Hurry up and dismantle the scaffolding, and you'd better get out of the cordon. "Ling Shou didn't want to come out to warn those soldiers, but who let the patriarch speak.
When Ling Shou came out to speak, Hong Yuan hadn't gone far, and he looked at Ling Shou's eyes with a little regret. In fact, he agreed with what Ling Shou said, no matter what his identity is, as long as he is not an enemy. But not everyone in this world is like him......
Seeing Li Hengyu running over, Hong Yuan only nodded and said, "Listen to him." ”
"Let's go. "Hong Yuan got in the car, and he had to go back to his life. He knew that he was just a soldier who died on the battlefield, a soldier who acted on orders, and he could not have too much personal thought, or even too much compassion. Hong Yuan looked at this villa that he was familiar with but had only been to four or five times and sighed deeply, he didn't expect that one day he could only be a helpless person who "did his best to obey the destiny of heaven".
