Chapter 80: The Boss's Trust
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer Lin Xiaotong's question, she can't tell her that she suddenly became smart after having the Demon Suppression Book for some reason, but people believe it.
Lin Xiaotong saw that Xu Xingkong didn't speak, so he took him as a tacit, so he continued: "When I was very young, my sister and I were once taken to a place together, and both of us met some people, underwent some tests, and stayed there for a while, and we were even taught some strange things, I didn't know at the time, but now that I think about it, it should be some methods of cultivating spiritual power." ”
"Oh?
Then one day, I was sent away, and my sister stayed, and in the years that followed, my sister and I rarely saw each other, and each time we met for a short time, my sister became more and more strange, and she couldn't even speak. Of course, I was not reconciled and did not want to lose my sister, but no matter how much I asked my parents, they would not tell me what was going on. ”
"Have you asked Lin Xiaofeng?"
"I asked, but she only said that I was not selected because my physique was not suitable, and she was reluctant to say anything else. ”
Xu Xingkong frowned: "Then do you think your parents know about your sister's situation?"
Lin Xiaotong nodded: "Of course they know, but they all deliberately hide it from me, I'm just curious, why hide it from me? Also, why is my sister so cold to me, I always feel that it's not that simple." Later, I used my special identity to collect information from many sources, and I also learned some things more or less, such as my sister seems to worship under an organization called Yushan Yuzhai, and they are dealing with demons and monsters. ”
Xu Xingwu thought about it, and said with some hesitation: "Perhaps, they are hiding it from you for your own good." ”
Lin Xiaotong pursed his lips and said: "To be honest, what I hate the most is this sentence, do you plan to use this sentence to convince me, or use this sentence to excuse them for changing my fate without authorization?"
Xu Xingkong was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Lin Xiaotong said was actually right, no one wanted their fate to be at the mercy of others at will, even if it was their loved ones. However, Xu Xingkong didn't think that Lin Xiaotong's parents and Lin Xiaofeng had any bad intentions to hide this qiē from Lin Xiaotong, perhaps, it was just that the two sides had different ideas.
Seeing that Xu Xingkong was silent, Lin Xiaofeng blinked aggrievedly with tearful eyes and said:
"Aren't you my friend? Are you going to help them keep me out? Is it not pleasant to be deliberately isolated by others, am I destined not to be able to control my own destiny and choose my own path?
Facing Lin Xiaotong who was crying, Xu Xingkong's heart didn't beat violently, he had never seen such a scene, and he suddenly felt at a loss, of course, it was more of an irrepressible, heartfelt pity and the urge to protect her, and at the same time, a hot blood was rushing from the back to his brain.
Fortunately, at the moment when the hot blood rushed to the brain and the bold words were about to rush out, Xu Xingkong's demon suppression book suddenly jumped out, and it was like a clear spring pouring down, and the blood upsurge formed by the erection of male hormones was completely extinguished in an instant.
"Damn! This is even more powerful than confusing the mind, and sure enough, the pursuit of skills or something is weak, this kind of simple and natural acting skills is the king!"
Xu Xingkong was surprised by Lin Xiaotong's sudden outburst of strong charm, he couldn't imagine that this sometimes cold, sometimes fiery beauty still had such an innocent and natural side, although it was probably just a deliberate disguise from her, but it still made Xu Xingkong's heart move, even more powerful than those Yuan Shen skills.
As for the automatic appearance of this kind of thing in the Demon Suppression Book, Xu Xingkong is used to it, in fact, the Demon Suppression Book is the embodiment of a part of Xu Xingkong's Yuan Shen, and when the main consciousness is disturbed, it is normal for the Demon Suppression Book to take the initiative to jump out to stop it.
"Ahem, there is a Mr. Lin"
"Although this is an office, we are talking about private matters, so it's better for you to call me Xiaotong. ”
"Okay, Xiaotong, I understand what you said, not long ago, I was also the same person you said, and I am still the one who needs to look up to you, if it is more miserable, it may be worse. ”
Lin Xiaotong blinked, pursed his lips and said, "Are you going to divide the class with me?"
Xu Xingkong smiled: "I don't mean that, but I don't know what you want from me, and I don't know what I can tell you. ”
Lin Xiaotong pursed his lips, this kind of rhetoric may be believed by ordinary people, but of course people at the level of Lin Xiaotong know that the so-called rules are actually negotiable.
In fact, Xu Xingkong also knows very well how unreliable the so-called gag order is, the relatives of those demon hunters, the relatives of the auxiliary personnel, and the peripheral personnel and their relatives will more or less know something related to demons.
A boring scholar once made a mathematical model to calculate the relationship between the number of insiders and the time for which secrets were kept, and concluded that as long as there were more than six insiders, it was impossible for secrets to be kept for more than 60 years.
The reason why the secret of the war between demons and humans has not been known by ordinary people, Xu Xingkong doesn't know why, there must be a deeper reason for this, maybe he will know it in the future. However, now Xu Xingkong has understood that the so-called secrecy system is actually not so high, and with Lin Xiaotong's identity and status, there is no need to keep it secret from her.
But the fact is that Lin Xiaotong has been deliberately concealed by her family and sister for more than ten years, there must be a reason why Xu Xingkong doesn't know, and before he understands this reason, Xu Xingkong doesn't plan to say anything substantive to Lin Xiaotong.
Looking at Lin Xiaotong's disdainful expression, Xu Xingkong could only smile helplessly:
"Okay, I'll be honest, I think there's a reason why they're hiding this from you, and I can't decide whether or not to help you until I figure it out?"
"Huh, that's what you're talking about?"
"Yes, that's it, because I'm not sure if it's good for you to help you unprincipledly. ”
"Isn't it up to me to decide whether there is a benefit or not?"
Lin Xiaotong pouted dissatisfiedly and retorted, looking at Xu Xingkong aggressively with his eyes.
Xu Xingkong was unmoved, and said with a slight smile:
"But if things go in a bad direction, I'll feel guilty for it, so I'll ask you in turn, are you forcing me to do things I don't want to do, is this your way of being a friend?"
Lin Xiaotong opened his mouth and found that Xu Xingkong actually blocked his mouth with his own words, when did this guy become so smart!
However, when you reason with women, they often start to be unreasonable, especially when they find that they can't be reasonable.
"I don't care, my destiny should be in my own hands, you are my friend, you should help me. ”
Xu Xingkong was stunned, but he didn't feel annoyed at all when he looked at Lin Xiaotong, but felt that her coquettish appearance was very cute, of course, provided that she didn't mess around too much.
"That's a real pity, I don't think it's okay to give up my principles for the sake of my friends, and I think you too. ”
Lin Xiaotong glanced at Xu Xingkong, and after thinking about it, her expression suddenly changed, and in an instant, the aggrieved and delicate little girl became a knowledgeable lady.
She straightened her body slightly, looked at Xu Xingkong with a smile, and said solemnly and gently:
"Well, if you're right, how are you going to figure out why? If possible, I'd love to know why. ”
Xu Xingkong thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe, I'll ask Lin Xiaofeng directly." ”
"I've exhausted all kinds of methods for so many years, and even threatened my parents with suicide, and they won't say that she will sue you?"
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaotong in surprise when he heard this, Lin Xiaotong raised her head arrogantly, she didn't seem to care about the exposure of her black history at all, on the contrary, she seemed to be proud of it, the brain of the rich second generation is really different from ordinary people.
"Who knows, if she hasn't tried, maybe she'll say? But I'm curious about what you said, how did your parents deal with your splattering and rolling and even committing suicide?"
"Hmph, it's just one crying, two troubles, and three hangings, my mother is even more ruthless than me. ”
Xu Xingkong burst out laughing, what kind of trouble are these mother and daughter going to make? But hearing Lin Xiaotong say this, Xu Xingkong had a lot of curiosity and admiration for her mother.
Lin Xiaotong couldn't help laughing, a thick warm smile flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled, and then he glanced at Xu Xingkong and said, "Do you think my mother is very interesting?"
"Well, that's true, and I miss my parents a little bit when I think about it. ”
"If you can help me solve this matter, I will give you a big vacation to let you go home to visit your uncle and aunt, paid, what?"
Xu Xingkong was actually quite moved by Lin Xiaotong's temptation, but he still pretended to roll his eyes and said:
"To put it mildly, this kind of thing is not so easy to solve. ”
Lin Xiaotong rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, if you can find the reason why they are hiding from me, I can fulfill this promise." ”
Xu Xingkong's eyes lit up, for fear that she would regret it, so he immediately raised a palm and said, "One word is a decision!"
"Smack. ”
Lin Xiaotong's warm and slippery little hand and Xu Xingkong's palm patted it, and the two laughed with satisfaction at the same time, each taking what he needed, the scene was too harmonious.
The two laughed for a while, and Xu Xingkong suddenly woke up: "What, Mr. Lin, you asked me to come here for this matter?"
"Oh, of course not, that"
Lin Xiaotong sat up straight as he spoke, reached out and picked up the teacup, took a sip and realized that the tea was already cold, frowned and put the teacup down, raised his head to look at Xu Xingkong, and the whole person had instantly changed back to the appearance of the cold and high-IQ boss.
"The results of the trip to the capital need to be reported to the headquarters, you are ready to go with me, you also have to participate in this meeting, but the time is a little tight, you can only look at the information on the road, I will drive, let's go now." ”
Xu Xingkong almost knelt down when he heard this, since time is tight, you still waste time talking about these inconsequential things, even if you are really curious, it will not be too late to say it when you have enough time, but unfortunately, it is too late to say these words now.
Carrying a briefcase and following Lin Xiaotong, the two hurried out of the office under the attention of their colleagues.
Sure enough, Lin Xiaotong was the driver on the road, and Xu Xingkong was looking at the relevant text in the co-pilot's seat.
