Volume 2 The World is Bustling Chapter 18 The Wind
Everything that was discussed the night before was fine, but I didn't expect that it was a group of investigators who knocked on my door today. Sun Yiqun was among them, but it seemed to be in the position of an entourage, and he followed behind the leader very seriously. Lin Jie and I just finished taking care of the money and were nibbling on the breakfast bread delivered by the hotel. There was a row of wine bottles under the table I was sitting on, and it smelled of alcohol.
"Guo Qian, explain well. Sun Yiqun took a step forward, but was immediately stopped by the leader reaching out for him. The leader looked like he was in his thirties, with short hair and a long dark red scar on the lower part of his left eye that went down to his neck. He glared back at Sun Yiqun, motioned for him to shut up, and then stepped forward and kicked the bottle next to me. The bottle rolled to my feet, and a few more drops came out of the mouth. The smell was even stronger, and all the investigators frowned, their noses tightened and shrunk, and they were very unhappy.
"This is the vice president of the city association, the senior investigator. Sun Yiqun gave me a look.
"Sun Yiqun, don't give him any reminders. Now I'm talking to him on behalf of the city association. The vice president surnamed Zhou turned his face to look at him, and the magma-like ravine burned the young and promising investigator, so that he finally did not dare to speak. When I saw Vice President Zhou turn his head, there were also several long and deep scars on his neck. Some of them are still very fresh, and they seem to have just been added. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath and was stuffed with muscles. The kind of big man in the comics that I thought would not appear in real life is alive in front of my eyes today. He crossed his arms and looked at me from top to bottom, as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between us.
"Guo Qian, you also heard Sun Yiqun's words. I am the vice president of the Yuecheng City Association, and today I am here with some investigators for nothing else, I just want you to go back to the association with us to cooperate with the investigation. He bent down and leaned his face over to thin the mountains between us, "You're going to have too much to do. No one can protect you, even if you know Emperor Wu, it's useless. If I had the heart, I could have taken you back to the guild right now or beat you to death on the spot. Guo Qian, when you first arrived in Yuecheng, the soul master who was in charge of sending you made a big fuss at the gas station, right? We were investigating the case at the time, and we didn't care much about you, do you know who we are fighting with?"
"I don't know. I thought it was just a general investigation. To tell you the truth, the soul master who gave me was Xu Baishun, the soul marquis under Lin Tianzuo. Arrest him. I shook my head.
"You think we don't know? It's naïve, Guo Qian, everyone in the association knows the physical characteristics of the two martial kings of Dadong and all their cadres, and if you don't move him, it doesn't mean that you can't move. At that time, there was a newcomer who was investigating there, and as soon as he heard him say that he was a soul marquis, he recognized him, so there was that entanglement - Guo Qian, what do you think I mean by telling you this?"
As he spoke, the scar on his face twitched, as if two continents were splitting apart, forming a huge ravine.
"You're saying you don't bother me at all—someone came earlier than me and made a big fuss?"
"Hmm. The man let out a long breath, and the smell of smoke made me cough. Through the smoke I could see that his eyes were full of mountains, and the pupils were black and deep, like an endless abyss, "There is a person who is very similar to you, and he has thought of what you want to do." As soon as he came over, the former Eastern Provincial Association sent us a notice, this person is a genius, and he is not weaker than you in the slightest. Tonight, he will sweep the entire market with 100 million yuan, make chaos on the spot, and establish a new force in Yuecheng. There are not many soups in this Dadonglin Liu, but he still wants a piece of the pie. ”
"Former Eastern Province?"
"That person's name is Zhao Yu. ”
The anniversary speech was slow, as if trying to create some kind of special atmosphere that made me feel pressured. But he didn't know that Zhao Yu and I were old acquaintances. He could have said that Zhao Yu was ready to recruit troops and defeat Yuecheng. To me, that's a thunderous name.
I was silent when I heard this. I can't blame Sun Yiqun or any of his two subordinates for betraying me, on the contrary, I want to thank them. If the anniversary doesn't come today, I will go to the market stupidly and fight against Zhao Yu's 100 million with my 40 million. I'm trying to make the difference to complete the task, and I'm definitely not as good as someone like him. With the same martial spirit, he will definitely be able to win it at a higher price. When the time comes, both of us will be the ones sitting in the shadows, but his one will inevitably cover me.
"Vice President Zhou, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm not done yet. Lin Tian's army of seven hundred soul warriors has already assembled outside Yuecheng, and it is estimated that they will march tonight, this is to swallow Yuecheng. This time, we received the highest order from the national association, we must hold on for three days. So as you can see, Yuecheng is worried about internal and external troubles, and our city association can't take care of it at all! The association decided to let you deal with Zhao Yu, Sun Yiqun and they still help you, as long as you get those new martial spirits in the guarantee association, you can make any trouble. "He added a step to my plan, which is to ensure that the association has enough soldiers.
"Didn't Lin Tian beat Liu Hongjian?" Thinking back now, if Lin Tianzhen and Liu Hongjian had started a war on the middle line, the merchants of Yuecheng would definitely talk about it, but the wind and waves were calm here, and there was no rumor at all.
"Fart. When Lin Tian didn't swallow Quandu, he would be able to sit on an equal footing with Liu Hongjian, and you don't want to see how crazy he has been after swallowing Yue Cheng. The two armies clashed, and the general was current. The president of the provincial association is going to fight him alone tonight. The presidents of Quandu and other cities will also compete with the soul marquis under him. I can't go to this kind of battlefield, so my superiors have assigned me to inform you. ”
A dignified senior investigator actually said that he could not go to the battlefield and was reduced to an errand boy, which shows the danger of this battle. I looked at Lin Jie, and she was also confused. Her father was going to fight Yuecheng, but he didn't get any news. However, even so, I still couldn't understand Lin Tian's intention of arranging me like this. I looked at this rock-like man, with his chapped skin, and suddenly I felt like a hammer. Is it me who can break him?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Bo drove to pick me up. As soon as I got in the car, I rolled down the window. Tan Bo was too hot, and wanted to press the button next to his hand to raise it, but when he saw that I was not happy, he didn't dare to move. I said it was too boring, I couldn't get angry without opening the window, this guy was smart, he knew that I had something on my mind, and he endured the heat and drove silently.
Only when Lin Tian breaks it can I see what position I am in this game of chess. My role must be more than that.
Cars were already parked outside the Dragon's Tooth Theater. Among them, there are many logos of top luxury cars that have never appeared in Qing County. The soul master who comes to participate in the auction, regardless of the size of the weapon, is always either rich or expensive. After all, Yuecheng is the center of the world's martial soul trade. Tan Bo's car eventually stopped underground. The underground parking lot is sparsely lit with fluorescent lights, and it's hard to tell if it's day or night. A lot of things that no one does during the day, can be seen here. As soon as the car drove down, he bumped into two groups of people fighting in front of him, and each of them summoned five or six military generals, crackling and clanging, creating a five-colored light in this dim environment. We turned to the side following the car in front of us, and we had to turn a blind eye to it. I understand that at this moment, there are investigators in the underground garage who are staring at a certain person to solve a case, and they are all lurking and collecting evidence. In fact, Sun Yiqun's thinking is not wrong, the trial is often more meaningful than the end.
Waiting for the others to converge, I pulled Lin Jie behind the escape door and pressed the door against it with my back. When she came up, she put her arms around me and kissed me, so tender that she could pinch out the water. But it doesn't work now — it works so many times that I think I'm a big fool.
"Lin Jie, tell me, do you know what your father is going to do?"
"I really don't know. This time, at least this time I really don't know. She said, "You're my man, why am I lying to you?"
"He's your dad, he asked you to lie to me, and you're going to lie to me. "I believe her, but I think I can dig up some information from her that I have missed, so I can only repeat the old trick and pretend to be angry," Does he know how powerful the president of a province's association is? There is only one superior investigator in a province! More than 100 million people in Dadong rely on him to confront the forces of the Martial King, why does your father fight a decisive battle with others? He doesn't really think that the two gods will be able to do anything wrong, right? Isn't he afraid that the Martial King of Yuanxi will swallow his territory? Isn't he afraid that Liu Hongjian will take the opportunity to stab him? Isn't he afraid of his schizophrenic little son-in-law?"
"Are you still not in good spirits?" Lin Jie hugged my head and wanted to kiss her, but I pushed her away and told her not to interrupt!
"What am I going to do to satisfy him······ My mother, I only have such a relative left in the world! I can do anything for him, but he can't wade into troubled waters like this, if he pours my mother, it will be over!" Although I have not fulfilled my filial piety, Lin Jie is also a child who has lost a parent, and it is impossible for her not to be moved. When I marry you in the future, do you want to have no old man on my side? Don't you want to regain your mother's care by this?
I breathed a sigh of relief, I kept a distance of a meter and a half from her, I stared into the depths of her eyes, and whatever was hidden in that depth, I was going to be poor.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Jie did not answer. Her arm was shaking, and I knew that she was not well, and her body naturally couldn't bear it when she was so excited. The woman's drift was wet with sweat and looked embarrassed. When people are anxious, nervous, and afraid, the body will uncontrollably experience manifestations such as sweating and tremors. This time, Lin Jie didn't get into trouble with me, she didn't cry loudly, but looked like she was struggling in pain.
"Guo Qian, I really don't know. ”
Lin Jie's qi and blood were chaotic, the yin veins contracted and dilated violently, the yin qi rose and fell, and I could even feel the changes in the aura around her. Every time she was forced like this, it would be very painful for her. Maybe I'm too careful, hasn't Lin Jie been by my side these days? Moreover, for a girl who can't decide on her father, my behavior is indeed too selfish. Even when she was lying in the hospital bed that day, she took the initiative to comfort me and coax me, I shouldn't be so harsh.
The martial spirits of the battles outside were also about to split the winners and losers. I heard the sound as if a car was parked next to me in a scuffle. When knives and guns collided, the shouts of the people were lowered, but a series of rapid sirens could be heard. If they don't go out again, they should be impatient to wait, and it will still take a lot of effort to queue up for admission for a while.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong, I'm sorry. ”
The moment I opened the door, a woman rushed up from behind and hugged me. Those hands were obviously weak, but they conveyed to me a kind of stubbornness and resoluteness, through the flowing yin qi that resonated with me. I put my hand on hers, smooth as fat and warm as jade. The gray light of the underground garage shone on my face as the door opened, connecting the chaotic and violent world of fraud and anger. I suspect that when they jumped out of the gate of the General's Mansion and came to this world, they felt nothing more than that.
