Chapter 18: Who is the Old Man?
There was silence.
After only a moment of silence, Su Baiming took the lead in speaking: "Regarding that vicious attack, we are investigating the truth, please believe that our expeditionary base will definitely find out the truth and will not let go of the real culprit." â
"Is it really a murderer, could it be that there are other people behind your Zhong Da and Zi Yuan?" Fan Ziling raised his eyebrows jokingly, but no one present would be stupid enough to think that it was just a joke.
"Mr. Fan said with a smile, they are all just people who are active in this base, but they are not our registered residents, how can they be said to be our people?"
"As far as we know, Zi Yuan was born and raised in the base, and Zhong Da is a subordinate of your Miss Yu, and has been in a team for several years, I'm afraid it's hard to say that she is a pure outsider, right?"
Yu Qing sat there expressionlessly, but from Gu Lian's perspective, she could see her throat moving up and down. It was the only sign that the handsome woman could show that her heart was not so peaceful.
"It's because we've been betrayed by someone we know so much that we feel even more sad. Su Baiming's face was sad, "We didn't expect them to do such a heart-wrenching thing, if we had known about it, we would have stopped them." â
"Could it be that Commander Su said that within a few kilometers of the expeditionary base, he was attacked by people from the expeditionary base, and almost killed the second son of the Hongyan base, and these things have nothing to do with you?" Fan Ziling chuckled, pressing step by step.
"We were really negligent in our failure to identify the problem in the first place and manage the Aliens who came and went to the base. Su Baiming's answer was watertight. "What's more, we have always been good friends with Hongyan Base, and we are willing to help as much as possible in order to maintain this friendship. â
Fan Ziling laughed again: "He really deserves to be the commander of Su." When it comes to tongues, no one can match them. â
I can't seem to hear his sarcasm. Su Baiming replied steadily: "Don't dare, you are all distinguished guests, but you are just carrying the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in a base, and you don't dare to give in too much." â
"The Hongyan base is one of the seven bases, if Commander Su really thinks about the expeditionary base, he should consider it more carefully. Zheng Yihao said gently, but his words were oppressive.
Gu Lian lowered her head quietly, silently listening to the comings and goings of you and me with the faint smell of gunsmoke, and gradually understood. Hongyan Base ...... Belch. In other words, Bai Dashao, who was not present, expressed his anger at the attack, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the expeditionary base was hidden in the west, and wanted to swallow the long-coveted expeditionary base in one bite, but how could Su Baiming, the emperor of the soil, agree to this kind of thing, and keep pushing left and right, leaving the responsibility behind.
The discussion became more and more intense, and people on both sides threw themselves into it, Fan Ziling's change. Zheng Yihao's elegance, Wei Xuan's agility, Wan Qingcheng's sharpness, and Yu Qing's advance and retreat are measured. And Chen Zhi remained silent, and Su Baiming also temporarily retreated from the heated debate, looking at it with a calm expression.
They are the chiefs of both sides. Just make the final decision. They can't and don't have to be involved in this discussion.
However, Fan Ziling and the others only made a false shot. After talking about things that have not been talked about for more than ten years, they never thought that they could achieve it overnight this time. It's just a bargain.
In the end, they offered to buy a batch of supplies at a low price, mainly weapons, and a small portion of food and clothing. Although Su Baiming had been prepared, the fact that they were not really interested in the expedition base itself still made him secretly relieved.
He believed that this was a message from Hongyan Base to him, and was willing to make certain concessions for the sake of this peace of mind to convey his goodwill and obedience, so after a simple round of bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement.
Su Baiming smiled comfortably and said loudly: "I hope to wash away all our unpleasantness with this glass of wine, and remember our cooperation and friendship." Next week is the third birthday of the little girl, so you must celebrate with a glass of wine. â
Chen Zhi smiled lightly and said, "Commander Su's kindness, we gladly accept it, Ling Yan's birthday is a happy event, and we will definitely go." â
The guests and hosts of a meal enjoyed themselves, and although there were waves in the middle, they all turned into laughter in the end. In the end, Su Baiming proposed to change places to get together and drink together.
Who doesn't like to have fun? Everyone got up and walked out. Yan Yuzhen ignored the whispers of the girl beside her, looked left and right, and accurately found Gu Lian, who was laughing with Yu Qing, and was about to pass over, when she was blocked by a figure in front of her.
Yan Yuzhen walked around impatiently, and was blocked again. He finally raised his head, his thin and pale face was indifferent, and when he saw who it was, he was still expressionless: "Fan Ziling, I didn't stand in your way just now." â
"Well, I thought you would be a little more human when you saw an old friend. Sure enough, let a ripper open the mind, or give it to a girl who wants to be pure and beautiful?" Fan Ziling glanced at Gu Lian meaningfully and said with a smile.
"Is there anything else? Yan Yuzhen said lazily.
"I just hope you don't get in the way in the future. Fan Ziling said softly with a soft smile.
Yan Yuzhen glanced at him, and actually smiled: "Are you threatening me?" The corners of his lips were raised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fatigue gradually receded, revealing a little ruthlessness, like an enraged black panther.
"I prefer it's just a joke. Fan Ziling's smile remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "You should know that it doesn't depend on me. â
Yan Yuzhen's eyes sharpened, and he sneered: "You haven't changed at all from ten years ago, you are all the same despicable and shameless. â
"In this world, I can't help it. Fan Ziling didn't deny it, his tone was gloomy, and he immediately smiled, "You don't have to work hard for the Su family." I don't ask you for anything else, just don't tell me about my past. â
"I don't have the need to listen to you. â
Fan Ziling smiled, stepped forward, leaned into his ear and whispered softly: "Listen, Mr. Ripper, look at that little girl, she is very weak, isn't she? He motioned Yan Yuzhen to look at the other side with his eyes, "And that boy, he doesn't have any special abilities." He can only survive on the merits of potions and medicine in our ranks, don't you think he's so beautiful that people want to destroy him?"
Yan Yuzhen almost laughed. Turning his head to face him, his pale face showed a mocking expression: "You use the people in your team to threaten me?"
"Think it's ridiculous?" Fan Ziling shrugged. With a smile, he said, "You have dissected so many people, you should understand how different people are. Some people, even if they are their own, can sell them without hesitation, such as me, and some people, as long as they have the right temper, will not distinguish between friend and foe, such as you. I don't think they'll have any inconvenience without you. But don't you feel a little lonely, no one listens to your opinions, no one shares your achievements, and everyone uses you either as a sharp scalpel or as a cruel monster to dodge ......."
He described softly.
Yan Yuzhen didn't speak, her face was gloomy. He was well versed in psychology, and of course he knew that the man in front of him was inducing him vilely, but he couldn't break it, because what he said was true.
Yan Yuzhen hates all high-minded and self-righteous "nobles", in the past, the fugitive killer who had no power and only a fierce and bloody atmosphere has now turned into a mature and elegant person. There was no way he could find a familiar shadow in him.
The image of him bandaging the silent killer who was injured from time to time flashed in front of him, when he was just a small doctor, but he had already shown a different side, in a zero-sum environment. There are many monks and few flesh, the older doctors dislike him because of his talent, and the younger doctors are frightened by his strange obsession. After finding a companion who was equally fearful, they went on to make fun of and isolate him.
Small together. can become power, and they found that. And put it to good use.
In the solitary boyhood like a shadow, only the handsome and silent boy was by his side every time with murderous energy. He was too sharp for the doctors to dare to touch him, and Yan Yuzhen found comfort in him who was also avoided at that time. In a year of contact, the two gradually communicated a little bit, and the teenagers exchanged only words, fragments of thoughts, the future, the present, but not the past. The teenage killer doesn't mention the past, and his past is just as lackluster as the present, there's not much to say. It's hard to say that they are friends, it's just two lonely and young souls drawing strength from each other, but in the end they were once warm.
And now, the boy cast a spell called time, and Shi Shiran stood in front of him, with intrigue, strength, and a desire to manipulate. He recognized Fan Ziling at first sight, but he didn't look too much.
- His existence itself is Yan Yuzhen's loneliness.
Fan Ziling undoubtedly knew, and did not hesitate to take advantage of this. Yan Yuzhen hated his control over him, but a doctor couldn't move when he was killed by a killer.
Yan Yuzhen's eyes wandered for a while. He may be looking at Gu Lian, that strange and innocent girl, or he may be looking at Wei Xuan, a young man with a smile and a decadence in his bones, or he may be looking at him, she, him, countless past and present, the loneliness in memory and reality, the old face, the strange old people.
Finally, all the words in his eyes disappeared, and he glanced at Fan Ziling lazily, as if looking at a stranger, with a tired and tired body, and turned around and walked away with a straight back.
"How is it?" Chen Zhi didn't know when he came to Fan Ziling's side.
"It's settled. Fan Ziling shrugged his shoulders and smiled freely, "Let me go out, what's wrong with it?"
"I'm not asking you this. Chen Zhi looked at him quietly, his eyes were full of compassion, "I'm sorry." â
Fan Ziling lost his words for a while, in front of Chen Zhi, he was like a clumsy younger brother who didn't know how to hide it in front of his brother. Chen Zhi's eyes were too sharp, soaked in the vicissitudes of time, and could tear through all his disguises. At first he was bored and frightened, but then he was relieved. If it will be seen through, why hide it?
"He's a very important friend," Chen Zhi said lightly, "I'm really sorry for letting you do such an excessive thing." â
Fan Ziling laughed when he heard this, smiled from the bottom of his heart, shook his head and said: "This is my rule with him, don't mention the past, just look at the present and the future." What's more, what you want to do is also my ideal, and you never have to apologize for that. â
"So for what?"
"Let me think about it...... For example, the girl next to you is better looking than me?" Fan Ziling said with a tilt of his head.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go. Chen Zhi patted him on the shoulder, although Fan Ziling was much taller than him, with wordless comfort and thoughtfulness, but his voice was still cold and hard, Fan Ziling knew that he would not leave a mark with words, "We did a good job of temporarily changing this script tonight." â
"The little girl really surprises us. Fan Ziling walked side by side with him and laughed softly.
Chen Zhi was silent, his gaze stopped on Su Jingming, who was walking side by side with Gu Lian.
A second ancestor who has nothing to do and is in a flow of anger......
It just so happened that Gu Lian was amused by him, tilted his head and smiled brightly, he smiled slightly and lowered his head to look at her, his back was harmonious, and his side face was soft. Chen Zhi was stabbed and looked away, a vague pain attached to the memory spread, their backs overlapped with the afterimages of the past, so that he didn't know where he was, only felt a dull pain in his heart.
Why, no matter what time she is, she will only choose someone else......
Something was tearing and stirring in his heart, but he was pressed by his strong and hard reason.
Mistakes must not be repeated. Atonement for sin, don't be greedy.
