Chapter 44: Yelena and the Three-Colored Lotus
Lin Shuang suddenly thought of a question.
That is, in order to toss Lu Xiao this time, she deliberately asked Lu Xiao and Liu Mengmeng to go to Qinglan County. And this strange incident, if it can be solved so smoothly, will it have anything to do with Lu Xiao?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuang suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Mengmeng with burning eyes, but Liu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and thought that there was something wrong with her information.
Then, Liu Mengmeng saw the corners of Lin Shuang's mouth in front of her, raised a bright smile, and slowly spoke elegantly and confidently, "Mengmeng, this time the matter of Lishi Quyuan can be solved so quickly, it has something to do with Lu Xiao, right?" β
Suddenly hearing Lin Shuang's question, Liu Mengmeng was stunned, her eyes flickered, and her small mouth was slightly open, with an incredible expression.
was able to solve the strange incident in Lishi Quyuan so quickly and smoothly, Lu Xiao was in charge of this matter, and Wang Dahai could guess a rough idea, but how did Mr. Lin know.
Liu Mengmeng just arrived at the company today, so she came to Lin Shuang to report here, so she didn't know what happened yesterday at the famous Poppy Hall in Jingcheng.
Looking at Liu Mengmeng's expression and movements for a moment, Lin Shuang was even more sure of his guess.
With a hint of playful eyes, she looked at Liu Mengmeng like that, and said with a little sternness, "Mengmeng!" Tell me everything you know! β
β¦β¦
After a while, only Lin Shuang and Liu Fei were left in the office, and their eyes flashed with strange looks.
Liu Fei didn't expect that even the matter of Lishi Quyuan was solved by Lu Xiao. She has always been known for her machines, but at this time, there was a trace of fluctuation in her heart, a trace of fluctuation of curiosity about Lu Xiao.
At the same time, Lin Shuang also had a trace of waves in his heart. She didn't expect that Lu Xiao, the titular fiancΓ© she had always looked down on, would help her in secret. But why didn't he let himself know!
In addition to this, there is another problem.
Lin Shuang waved her hand, signaling Liu Mengmeng to go out first, and then immediately instructed Liu Fei: "Feifei, give me a thorough investigation of the multinational company in Qinglan County, as well as the problem of that gossip mirror." β
"Yes! Mr. Lin! Liu Fei replied categorically, and then left Lin Shuang's office resolutely.
When everyone left, Lin Shuang held her forehead and leaned back on the soft chair.
"Lu Xiao ......"
At this time, Lu Xiao in Lin Shuang's mouth was sitting in a box of a famous Abyss Pavilion in Jingcheng, tasting the delicious food here. And Rodriguez was standing respectfully aside, filling the empty cup that Lu Xiao had just drunk from time to time.
And his bodyguards are all outside the box, closely guarded.
After eating for a while, Lu Xiao seemed to have eaten almost, raised his head very casually, and looked at Rodriguez with a hint of doubt, "You have always been here?" I thought it was a waiter! β
Listening to Lu Xiao's words, Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears in an instant.
"I've been standing here with myself for so long to serve you, and you've only seen me! Am I so non-existent? Rodriguez was distressed in his heart.
At this time, Lu Xiao said very casually, "Sit down!" I'm not tired of standing there! β
When Rodriguez heard this, his face immediately turned happy. He also understood Lu Xiao's character, he was whatever he said, and he hated hypocrisy. So after Rodriguez thanked him respectfully, he carefully achieved the position opposite Lu Xiao, and only sat on half of his ass.
However, at this time, Lu Xiao's reason that made him cry and laugh and couldn't sit down came to his ears, "You are standing there and watching the scenery in front of me!" β
Lu Xiao said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
What else could Rodriguez say but a wry smile.
It wasn't until another period of time later, when Lu Xiao was full of food and drink, that he looked at Rodriguez, "Tell me something!" β
Hearing that Lu Xiao was still there, Rodriguez looked happy, and then fell into melancholy and sadness again.
"Dearest Lu, please forgive me for delaying your precious time, I am actually here this time for my sister, Elena!"
"Elena?" Lu Xiao muttered the name, and the appearance of a lively and beautiful girl immediately appeared in his mind. When he went to the O'Brien family to help them deal with that incident, Lu Xiao also saw that this simple-minded and likable 8 or 9-year-old girl was more pleasing to the eye, and the two of them were more able to talk.
"It turned out to be her! It's the little kid back then! Said he wanted to marry me when he grew up! Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Xiao's mouth inadvertently showed a warm smile, and then he turned his head to Rodriguez and asked, "Let's talk about it!" What the hell is going on? β
After that, Rodriguez explained the ins and outs of the whole matter to Lu Xiao in detail.
Half a year ago, Yelena was bitten by an animal at her own castle of O'Brien, and then she began to have a fever! But no matter what methods the family used and how famous doctors they had, it was still useless, and Yelena still had a high fever.
And after Yelena was in a coma for seven hundred and forty-nine days, the high fever miraculously subsided, but Elena never woke up.
Yelena is the only woman of the younger generation of the O'Brien family, and has been regarded as the pearl of the palm by many elders and brothers since she was a child.
Yelena's change has distressed many relatives in the family.
In the case of seeking medical treatment to no avail, the people in the family exhaustive all the methods, but by chance, from a down-and-out Chinese antique dealer, found a clue to cure Elena.
When Rodriguez said this, Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Rodriguez, who was deep in thought, did not notice the slight changes in Lu Xiao's eyes, and continued to tell Lu Xiao about the past.
It turned out that what they found from the antique dealer was an ordinary diary, but the contents of the diary had a lot to do with Elena.
It turned out that the father of the owner of this diary was actually a tomb robber, and his rank was still that of Captain Jin. During an expedition to explore the ancient tomb, she was bitten by a black-haired animal that resembled a ferret, and from the next day, she developed the same symptoms as Yelena.
According to the diary, the reason why the man finally got better was because his companion went deep into the tomb again, wanting to use the wounding animal to save the man.
But in the end, he did not find the animal, but in the tomb, he found a lotus flower with three petals and three colors.
And this person who often travels from south to north actually knows that this flower is a three-color lotus that can detoxify all kinds of poisons.
So, he hurriedly took the three-colored lotus and went back to give it to his injured companion.
Incredibly, twelve hours after taking the Tricolor Lotus, the injured companion's high fever subsided, and he never had any fever or cold in his life.
After getting this diary, the people of the Rodriguez family were like treasures. He began to investigate the location of the ancient tomb recorded in the diary.
In the end, the emperor paid off, and they finally determined that this mysterious ancient tomb was in the Longjing Mountain Range on the east side of Jingcheng.
Therefore, as the first heir to the family, Rodriguez will personally come to oversee. If this place really exists, there really is a three-color lotus, to ensure that you can get to these three-color lotuses in order to restore Yelena's health.
After listening to Rodriguez's introduction, Lu Xiao also sighed slightly in his heart, feeling the misfortune of Yelena's little child, and more importantly, even he didn't expect that he would encounter news about the three-color lotus here.
Lu Xiao had read the word 'thing' in the first half of the book of heavenly machines he was studying, and he had read about the introduction of the three-color lotus.
The three-color lotus, growing in the symbiosis of the five elements of gold, wood and water, has three petals, and the flowers bloom in three colors, which has the magical effect of nourishing the gods and detoxifying.
If what was recorded in that diary was true, then it was possible that it was only Yelena's illness. Moreover, Lu Xiao also finally determined that Yelena was bitten by that mysterious animal, and she must have been infected with a neurotoxin that is not detectable by current technology, which caused her to be unconscious after a high fever, like a vegetative person.
"I respect Lu the most, I know that I am not qualified to invite you now. But I would like to ask you from the bottom of my heart as a brother who loves my sister! Please come to Yelena's rescue! Rodriguez said sincerely, then stood up and bowed to Lu Xiao.
Looking at Rodriguez's sincere appearance, Lu Xiao smiled slightly, in fact, he heard that the purpose of Rodriguez's trip was to treat Elena, and Lu Xiao was already ready to take action.
Not for anything else, just for myself to see that little kid pleasing to the eye.
Looking at Rodriguez's sincere appearance, Lu Xiao touched his smooth chin, which was no longer beardless, and said to Rodriguez lightly, "If you want me to make a move, it's not impossible." β
Although Lu Xiao's tone was flat, it seemed to be that kind of natural sound to Rodriguez's ears. If it weren't for so many years of cultivation in place, Rodriguez would have been able to jump up excitedly at this time.
At this time, he had an excited expression on his face, looked at Lu Xiao with burning eyes, and said respectfully in a trembling voice: "May I ask the most respected Lu, what can I be honored to do for you?" β
"What to do?" Lu Xiao touched his smooth chin, and after thinking for a while, he really didn't need anything for the time being. Then he waved his hand very casually, "You can do it yourself!" β
"Huh?" This time, it was Rodriguez's turn to be dumbfounded.
If Lu Xiao had specific requirements, he would have worked hard to do things for his sister Elena, no matter how difficult it was. But Lu Xiao came casually this time, but some of his second-hand monks couldn't touch their hair.
If you want to talk about Lu Xiao's identity, there are really few things that can make him tempted, Rodriguez thought bitterly, what does he need?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he thought of something. Lu Xiao's fiancΓ©e Lin Shuang, didn't her Lin Group just cooperate with her! And the information obtained from their own investigation shows that the progress of their new energy project is not very fast, if they ......
I thought of it, but I saw Rodriguez respectfully again, and said to Lu Xiao cautiously with some inquiry, "The most respected Lu, you see that I sent our company's technical personnel to the Lin Group to communicate and learn from them, what do you think?" β
Anyway, Lu Xiao was already ready to help Elena, and he didn't care much about what Rodriguez did. So he nodded casually.
With Lu Xiao's consent, Rodriguez immediately organized the dispatch of personnel to the Lin Group.
At this time, Lin Shuang was sitting at her desk, a little in a daze.
It was the first time since she sat in this position that she hadn't been in the office and was thinking about other things.
"Dangdang!"
Just as Lin Shuang was frowning and thinking, there was a sharp knock on the door of her office.
"Come in!"
When I opened the door, I saw Deng Jianguo, who had red eyes and a little messy hair, who hadn't washed it for a long time, and walked in looking extremely anxious.
Since it was confirmed that his daughter had fully recovered, Deng Jianguo had spent most of the past few days in the company's laboratory. According to him, make up for the time you wasted.
Looking at Deng Jianguo's somewhat haggard face, Lin Shuang couldn't bear it for a while. She understands that this is Deng Jianguo doing what he can to make up for the previous things.
However, looking at Deng Jianguo's eager face, Lin Shuang's heart sank slightly, "Director Deng, what happened?" β
At this time, Deng Jianguo's face was full of eagerness, and he said anxiously, "Mr. Lin! There is a problem with the development of new energy! β
