Chapter 536: White Coffee
Right or wrong, good or bad, the world is completely upside down. γγβββ‘βTo βηβͺβζΈw?ww.1ΞΓ Ξ shu.cc
The white coffee arches over the black foam and slowly rotates clockwise in the cup, every qiΔ is so abnormal, Chloe has a strange feeling: maybe we are all in the afterlife, otherwise, why all the memories of the past have a strange sense of "life".
The person who threw this cup of coffee to himself was Li Qi, the senior commander of the tactics of the Shangtang base, without a military rank. The last company she worked for was the Nanyang branch of Shishi Military Company, and after the branch was abolished during the restructuring process, Li Qi did not look for other combat positions, and remained in Borli Island until the auction of the Shangtang base. Li Qi's front-line air combat command performance is quite good, once held the lowest battle loss record in the company, and her consistent aim is not to fight unprepared battles. However, at the end of his commanding career, the company's combat casualty rate suddenly increased, until all employees were killed in battle, and the Nanyang branch had to be reorganized and dismantled.
The platinum female reporter's mind was about to pass through the homework she had done in advance, and Chloe never conducted unprepared interviews. In the public information, there are not many reports about the final collapse stage of the Shishi Nanyang Department, and the entire company is about to disappear from people's sight, and Nanyang is about to become an adventure paradise for safari mercenaries.
What happened to Shishi Company, the answer to this question is probably only known to the woman in front of her. Chloe didn't expect to be able to ask the other person directly, she could see that Liqi was a person with a strong sense of responsibility. If it were an ordinary mercenary, he would have left this kind of company long before his performance became ugly, and he would even sell this secret history of the fall to the news newspaper for a price. But Li Qi did not do that, but chose to stay at the Shangtang base, until the base was auctioned off, and did not forget his accusation as the commander of the Ministry of Defense.
Why she did that, Chloe wasn't going to speculate yet. After all, too many things are just the opposite of what I think, such as Li Qi's appearance is completely different from what I imagined, and she is not a strong female iron man at all.
If she were looking for an appropriate representation for her form, Chloe would choose a straight line, a straight line.
This woman is very young, she looks slender and thin, her figure is almost curved, even her movements are absolutely not twisted, and her gestures are very crisp. β To read the book w(w[w<. "One ΞΓ Ξ shu.cc the black short cut is very neat, the lower edge appears very sharp, and the downward slope of the bottom edge line and the chin contour line are completely parallel. Although this is an out-and-out woman, Chloe thinks she is very handsome, like a waiter in a costume movie.
Chloe did not speak; Li Qian didn't say a word. Her eyes were narrow, cold, and made Chloe a little embarrassed to look at each other. For some reason, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Chloe made a decision: "Thank you for the coffee, it's the first time I've tried white coffee." β
Li Qi just nodded, even in response.
Chloe inadvertently sticks out her tongue slightly, and this is the most difficult interview subject to deal with. "It's such a nice place, if it were me, I might have stayed too." She wanted to start by praising the other party's persistence, find out Li's thoughts and then find a breakthrough, "I couldn't help but look around as soon as I arrived here." A modern base in a dense forest, like a paradise, used to be a lively and warm place. β
"Warm?" Li Qian sneered and squeezed out two words from between her teeth, "I don't know where you're talking about." The Shangtang base is not the source of peach blossoms. β
The white coffee in his hand seemed to cooperate with this cold woman, and he also sucked away a lot of his body temperature. But Chloe could at least feel that Li Qi did not refuse to communicate, since she said that this was not a paradise, could she say that it was the root of all evil. Although the atmosphere was cold, Chloe was intrigued, and she loved to talk to people who had stories, especially stories about the past that had been struck.
Li Qian didn't sit down, but walked to the door, calmly lifted the hanging intercom on the wall like a hostess, and said simply across the microphone: "Okay, I've seen her, you all go back." Don't be too embarrassed about that fat man. β
"She's the housekeeper here, that's right." Chloe thought, "Those Hakka people all listen to her." It's no wonder that after the Shangtang base entered the auction process, no one came here to conduct any inventory of the warehouse, and no one knew what was in the cave, so there was such a group of volunteer guards guarding it. βTo seeβͺβͺββζΈββ wγw{wγ.? One ΞΓ Ξs (hu.cc but what their financial resources are and how they live. If there is no combat operation, it must be funded by an external organization. Who would fund former Shishi employees to guard their company's old warehouses and for what purpose. "Chloe's mind is always out of control.
"Your people are really responsible, it's ...... so late"
"They're not my people." Li Qian replied coldly.
"Not now, right, was it your subordinate before?"
"It doesn't matter at all." Li Qi crossed her arms and leaned against the low cabinet, her legs were really long and straight, "To be honest, you are not welcome here, please go back as soon as possible." β
"Now? It's raining outside again. "Chloe didn't like her in the first place, and no matter how good her temperament was, she couldn't hold back now." It was raining so hard at night, and the store manager was not familiar with the road, so why don't you take me back to Kuching City. β
"Nope."
"Let your people send me."
"They're not my people, don't think about it."
"Then I'll go out on my own, it's no big deal." Chloe gambled and drank her coffee. Li Qi's craftsmanship is not bad, and there is a strange aroma of Nanyang in the cup, but for an espresso lover, the ****** content of this cup is too low.
Li Qi didn't speak, just stared at herself with her long, narrow and sharp eyes, as if she was really waiting for the coffee to finish drinking and was about to give an eviction order.
Chloe was not in a hurry, sipping her coffee slowly, staring at her demonstratively, and looking at each other. Why does Li Qian always say that those people are not his subordinates, Store Manager Wan seems to have said that they are from the clan association, maybe they are fellow villagers, or even relatives. Looking at the vicious looks of these people, Li Qian must have shown the recessive genes in the clan, and her delicate and handsome appearance does not look like their relatives.
"They are members of the clan association." Li Qi's simple explanation confirmed this view.
"Aren't you their boss, I heard."
"How could I be him." Li Qian suddenly laughed.
It seems that there is someone else in charge of the SFCCA. It was rare for the cold-faced lady to laugh, and to laugh contemptuously, and Chloe guessed that she must have mistaken her for some stupid and ridiculous fellow.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and even the voice could be heard inside the cave, "I don't know the way, so I can't go back to the city tonight." β
Li Qian relaxed a little, got up and slipped to the side and twisted the air conditioner switch to make the room warmer. She ignored Chloe's complaints, but took the coffee cup and looked at Chloe's room, where the futon and pillows were messy, and the two blankets were scattered on the floor, "You're already in." β
"Uh-huh, Store Manager Wan invited me here. I can't go back now, how do you want me to go back? β
"Follow the path you came from, and you can go back."
"It's easy to say."
Li Qi laughed again, but this time with some bitterness, "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you." I remember having the exact same conversation with another person. β
"You insist that I go back alone, you want me to die in the jungle." Koloy remembered that the store manager told him about the Stygian Mountain, the animal necromancers along the river, and those strange superstitious legends, presumably the belief culture here is like this, "If I die, I won't take a boat to the Stygian Mountain." I'm going to stay here and pester you. β
"Then you're not alone, Chloe. I don't want you to be cursed like that. "Li Qi is completely relaxed. Relaxing is the magic of the lovely Chloe. Li Qi slowly approached her, her sharp gaze looked a little strange, as if she was approaching her prey, "You and I guessed the same, you really can't drive away." I've known you, and I've been following you for a long time, to be exact, Koloe, the war correspondent of the Mainichi Shimbun, the exclusive reporter of Meng's attack," her tone was a little strange, "you'll come sooner or later, we'll meet sooner or later." Although we didn't know each other before, I'm afraid we can't wait to get to know each other. To tell you the truth, I've read all your reports about the attack, I've gathered your information, I've read your books; And you don't seem to have spared any information about me. β
As she said this, her eyes looked at the file cabinet in the command room that had been turned over by Chloe. Chloe stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, thinking that the other party would not show up.
"I'm just as eager as you are to get in." Li Qi took a sip from her cup, "I'm ready." Chloe, are you ready? β
Maybe it was because of the abrupt question, or maybe the heating in the house was finally starting to get hot, and Chloe's cheeks suddenly burned a little. She never thought that she would face such embarrassment, it turned out that what she did to others, others were also doing to herself. She felt like she had met an old friend, but she and this Li Qian had only met for ten minutes.
Li Qi walked back to the table and put down the cup, then came to Koloi, took the coffee cup from her hand, and held her with the other hand: "Your hand will say it's cold." Come on, I know what you need, and you have what I need. It's going to be a long night, and we've got to find a comfortable place, don't we? β
Chloe couldn't escape. Li Qi's sharp eyes stared at her and held her firmly.
"Hey, well, okay. Liqi, I can call you that. Chloe was a little flustered, and she wanted to calm down and stick to the purpose of her trip. Although her body was pulled away, she remained professional, "You knew Meng Strike before, didn't you?" β
"Yes." Li Qian didn't let go of her.
"How long have we known each other?"
"It's long, it's very long, longer than you think." She replied, "Come here, and I'll let you know what he did to me." β
