Chapter 50: The Messenger of Fate
In the alleys of the night, the clatter of black ankle heels echoes alternately.
As Hindy walked, her heart lifted.
The other party spoke, and his slightly upturned lips glowed in the light: "Oh, Xindi, this is the first time I've seen you wearing a cheongsam, it's really suitable for you." ”
She lowered her head and smiled softly: "Sometimes, I also want to change the experience. "Hindy knows who the other person is.
"Oh? Including a new name? Cute Hindy who starts with th, why did you change it to start with c? It's not easy to find you. The man in front of him continued.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain Tang." Xindi's high heels stepped on a graceful rhythm, and before she finished speaking, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, "Ah, I'm really sorry, I should call you 'Chief of Staff Lei' now." Suddenly changed the surname, which still makes people a little unaccustomed. ”
"Hahaha," Tang Yujian, who had changed his surname to Lei, laughed, his current name is Lei Yujian, "Can I have the honor of inviting you out for a drink?" ”
"Let's go inside and talk, I have a little bar," Xindi looked at each other like a kitten.
"No," Lei Yujian smirked, "if you always stay in your own place and wait for someone else to come, you won't get a better chance." ”
Xindi didn't speak.
"I don't know why, I think the way you look in a cheongsam is even more moving." Lei Yujian said.
"Ahh Xindi smiled embarrassedly, "I want to change the decoration style of the store, so I should match the clothes." ”
Lei Yujian looked up: "Indeed, it has a very traditional domestic flavor." That might make the store look as if it could buy government equipment. ”
"Yes," she replied, "but unfortunately I can't buy it, and I don't dare to sell high-end goods that can only be equipped by the government army." ”
"I see."
"It just looks like it attracts customers to your door."
"You just want to wait...... Did you get lucky enough to find your way to the door? Lei Yujian paused, "I think this shop seems to be smaller than the one in the castle tower, I don't know if it's an illusion." I'm sure you haven't thought about it yet. ”
"Hmmm......"
"Just stay here, watch Metlize day and night, and the years will soon pass." Lei Yujian looked at her, "Xindi, I know what you think, that's why I came to you." I want to take you to meet someone. ”
Xindi didn't speak, she hesitated.
"Don't want to get in my car? Now that you know that my last name has changed, you should also understand that I am already on the way. If you get into my car, maybe in the future...... Take the steering wheel of your own destiny. ”
Xindi's eyes were shy, and her laughter was like beautiful music. She was a little moved, but she didn't want to show it.
She originally wanted to test the chief of staff of the Maleria government army, who had been renamed Lei Yujian, and was also her old customer. Unexpectedly, he was tempted by him.
Xinti is most concerned about whether Lei Yujian is here to ask for the money. She had negotiated a big deal with Lei Yujian in the castle tower, but before the money could be transferred to her "Eisenberg Brothers" armament shop, the small shop was reduced to rubble by the shelling of the "Tenshu Maru". She simply scattered the money, and then came to the new eastern capital, intending to reopen a piece of the world. Now Lei Yujian actually came to the door, but it didn't seem to be for the money. Because Xindi didn't feel that Lei Yujian cared about the money very much, and there was no need to be so bothered about the amount; On the other hand, the status he gained after rescuing Master Lei didn't have to care about the money at all.
As Xindy said, she can survive in this man's killing world, not by burying her head in not offending these men, but by being useful to them.
I just don't know what bad ideas Lei Yujian is playing in front of him.
"Xinti, you need someone to discover your talent and give you a stage to show it."
"Actually...... I just want to open a small shop here quietly. ”
"Oh? Are you sure. Lei Yujian said with a smile, "Then, can you enjoy your face, have a drink with my old patron, and talk about business?" ”
"Okay." Xindi tilted her face, hid her mischievous eyes behind the short hair that slid to her forehead, and looked at Lei Yujian, "However, if I get drunk, you will send me back." ”
Lei Yujian came to the other side and opened the door for Xindi: "It's an honor." ”
Xindi sat in the car and fastened her seatbelt. When Lei Yujian sat in, he felt the carriage sink downward, and then watched him lift the clutch throttle and drive into the auxiliary road.
"I didn't expect that the news that I changed my surname here will reach you so soon." Lei Yujian said as he drove, "I still want to joke with you about this." It seems that even if the war has shut down those social networks, it won't stop you from socializing. ”
"We are like us, we usually read the news and flip through the newspapers. However, it's really surprising to know that Master Lei recognizes you as his adopted son. "By the way, how did you get back then?" I heard that your plane was hit. ”
"Oh, that's thanks to my eldest brother's attack, he covered my retreat." Lei Yujian broke the wheel into the main road, "I think you know him, right?" It was that particular task that I entrusted to you at that time. He blinked his right eye and gestured to Xinty.
"Probably, I don't care about things between you men anyway." Cindy wanted to divert from the conversation, as it was a secret activity.
She leaned against the car door and enjoyed the bustling night view of the new eastern capital. In the distance, the famous Marina Bay Golden Sands Hotel, an iconic landmark on the new Eastern Capital skyline, shines brightly. Three towering herringbone buildings stand side by side, and together they hold a huge winding boat-shaped sky garden. The whole building resembles a super huge Chinese character "claw" standing on the seashore. Hinty was fascinated by this strange and spectacular complex building.
"How?" Tang Yujian noticed that Xindi was looking at the Golden Sands Hotel, "Interested in the Golden Sands Hotel?" ”
"Huh? It's nothing. It's ok, I've seen it in brochures before. Xindongdu was quite lucky, and did not suffer during the war. Xindi looked back, "That'...... And then? The newspaper said that you rescued Division Commander Lei in a plane, not to mention how thrilling it was. ”
"Many of them are also made up by reporters." Lei Yujian smiled helplessly, "There is a biographer who wants to write a book for me, but I said it's not time yet. He made a few reports that resembled non-fiction. ”
"How is Master Lei, the injury is quite serious." Xindi figured out that Guò asked a few more words to guess the purpose of Lei Yujian's trip.
"Alas......," said Lei Yujian, "my left foot and both arms have been amputated...... No way. At this, he almost squeezed out tears, "The burn was so bad, and I crawled in the muddy water for a while...... I'm really useless, it's too long to delay on the runway. By the time he was sent to the hospital for rescue, he had already been gangrene. ”
"Then you saved his life." Xindi turned her head to look at Lei Yujian, she wanted to see Lei Yujian's expression when he heard this.
"I tried my best......"
Xindi didn't expect that Lei Yujian didn't have any expression.
"Tell me about it again." Hindy leaned over and made a look of concern.
"I have always been by Commander Lei's side, hoping for a miracle. He is my commander after all. Lei Yujian said, "Later...... What do you want to hear? ”
"Of course, how can Senior Commander Lei recognize you as his adopted son?" Xindi said that she really likes to listen to this gossip.
"I waited day and night...... He finally woke up, and when he saw me, the first thing he said was the same as in the castle tower. Lei Yujian paused, and then said, "'I'm relieved to have you.'" Here's what he said. ”
"Oh." Xindi listened carefully, "Senior Commander Lei, you must be very moved. ”
"Aha." Lei Yujian laughed dryly, with a little disdain, and didn't say anything. After a while, he continued, "As my father-in-law, he didn't feel sad when he saw that he had only his right leg left, but he sighed that he couldn't go to the battlefield again. Now that the situation in Maleria is unstable, as the supreme military commander, he can't go into battle in person, he is neither reconciled nor relieved of his ......", Lei Yujian looked in the rearview mirror and entered the fast lane, "...... So, out of the blue, he asked me, 'Are you an orphan?'......" He seemed to choke up a little at this point.
Xindi looked at Lei Yujian's face, and slowly stretched out her left hand and placed it on his thigh. Through her trousers, she could feel the muscles of a warrior.
Lei Yujian put down his right hand and naturally pressed it on Xindi's hand: "Thank you." ”
Hinty didn't say anything. She kind of felt that sometimes if she was attracted to a man, it might not be because of his legendary adventures, but because he naturally shook his hand. There is no sense of rejection, no sense of fear, a kind of intimacy and warmth that arises spontaneously.
In the distance, the Marina Bay Golden Sands Hotel is glittering with glamour and charm. The five-colored lights on the street flew by, like a colorful shower of stars.
"Don't talk about me, what about you? I went to look for you later, only to see that the shop was ruined. Lei Yujian turned his head sideways and smiled at Xindi: "Then, you came to Xindongdu and opened a new store?" ”
"yes, how's that?" Xindi replied with a slight tilt of her chin, as if she was a little provocative and coquettish.
"It's nothing, don't forget to promise to supply us with spare parts, say okay."
"Phew." Xindi sighed, thinking that she could get rid of it. But no matter what, because of this money, she finally has her own shop.
At this time, the vehicle drove into Marina Bay, closer to the Golden Sands Hotel, and was about to come in front of it. The Sky Garden in the clouds floats above like a giant flying plaza. There is also an anti-aircraft turret installed during the war, and the shaped laser weapon that was only used before the war is installed in the turret, which looks like a giant astronomical telescope. After the end of the war, these weapons did not have time to be dismantled.
"Haha!" Lei Yujian looked at Xindi's appearance and suddenly laughed evilly, "Your disappointed look is so cute." I know why you're disappointed, don't worry, I've already reported that money according to the destruction of the trading shop, and then we'll have to fight with the insurance company, none of your business. You're pretty smart, you changed your name on all the profiles so quickly, how can you be so fast? Astonishing. Fortunately, you changed your name, and it turns out that Xinti, who starts with th, has already started to go through the disappearance procedure. And...... If you wish, I can sign you a separate purchase contract. ”
"Really!" When Xindi heard this, she smiled. But after a while, she folded her arms and leaned back on the back of the chair, and her playful short hair slid back to her forehead: "Oh, it's not that simple." ”
As soon as he said this, Lei Yujian had already driven the car to the Golden Sands Hotel, drove into the negative floor, then stopped the car and handed the key to the waiter, and then opened the door for Xindi to help her get out of the car.
In front of you is the interior of the Marina Bay Golden Sands Hotel, a landmark building in Nanyang New East Capital. The casino is located on the basement floor, with yellow lights reflecting the magnificent walls and signboards, and the crowd is bustling with people, which is even more lively than before the war.
Hinti followed Lei Yujian all the way, through the long indoor river of the shopping mall, with people boating on it, and the banks of the river were lined with luxury shops, which felt like Venice. When the boat reaches the intersection place, there is a huge crystal-like transparent funnel, and an indoor waterfall slopes out from the center, like an hourglass of water, which is very interesting.
Turn left and right, and come to the lobby of Building 1. Inside, in the middle of the herringbone building, the white stacked floors are close to each other, and above is a honeycomb art frame, which feels very modern. However, it is crowded, sitting or sleeping, and there are queues everywhere around, which feels a bit like a slightly cleaner train station.
Lei Yujian was obviously very familiar with this place, but in his current status, there was neither anyone to receive nor accompany him. It seems that he is engaged in a very secret activity, at least not wanting to be noticeable.
He didn't go to the front desk to line up and went straight to the elevator with Hinty. This high-rise elevator starts slowly and steadily from the first floor, and as soon as it passes the third floor, the numbers immediately start to soar.
Xindi's heart is also pounding at the moment.
Why did Lei Yujian bring himself to the hotel. He didn't pursue the money, and he also found a business for himself, just to bring himself to the hotel to open a room. Why is it so boring for men to think about all this.
By the way, she suddenly thought, didn't Lei Yujian say that he was going to take himself to meet someone. A person who can discover his talent and change his destiny...... Who the hell is it?
