Chapter 10: Top of the Storm 15. True Identity
Lloyd and Nicole have returned to the inn where they had stayed before.
The waitress at the hotel counter greeted Lloyd politely when she saw Lloyd come in with a beautiful woman.
However, the waitress didn't know that Lloyd and Nicole had known each other for a long time, and thought they had met in the rain. So he smiled at Lloyd and said, "How does this town feel about morning exercise?" You can still meet such a beautiful girl. ”
Nicole smiled and turned her head to Lloyd and said, "Thank you so much, gentleman!" ”
Lloyd put his right hand behind him and bowed gentlemanly: "It is a pleasure to serve you, ma'am!" ”
After Lloyd finished acting, he gently leaned into Nicole's ear and said, "Haven't you had fun acting today?" Even if you know it, you still pretend not to know. I still have to cooperate with you! ”
Nicole winked mischievously at Lloyd, putting on a willful look.
Although the waitress couldn't hear these two people whispering in front of the counter, when she saw these two people calling, she asked, "Is this lady going to check in today?" How are you going to arrange it? ”
Lloyd nodded and said, "Yes, book me a double room." ”
I saw the waitress shake her brows, smile and hand the key to the double room to Lloyd.
Lloyd smiled, took the key, and led Nicole upstairs.
"From today onwards, you use my single room, and then I will change to the newly opened double room, and I can catch up with Townsend in the evening!" Lloyd said to Nicole as he walked.
"Are you afraid of the dark alone!? It can be scary at night, so don't go out and walk around! Lloyd said deliberately mysteriously, rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue to make a terrifying expression, but it was not terrifying at all.
"Humph!" Nicole hammered Lloyd.
The two walked to the door of the single room, and Lloyd led Nicole inside, then closed the door.
"Well, we're all going to stay in this hotel these days, although it's a world of difference between here and your accommodation, but I can only grieve the eldest lady and you'll be fine." Lloyd said, taking out a Band-Aid from the small medical box at the head of the bed and re-applying the wound cut by smashing the mirror with his fist last night.
Nicole came to Lloyd and took the Band-Aid from Lloyd: "I'll help you put it up......"
"Nicole...... I fell for Hewei's hypnotism. Although I can control myself, this kind of hypnotism has been lurking in my heart, which is not a good thing. It's like an explosive without a fuse buried in the bottom of your heart, and you will feel insecure no matter what. Lloyd said melancholy, because the pain of the wound on his hand was still not obvious, and if it went on for a long time, he would lose consciousness and become detached from reality, like the walking dead.
"Isn't there anything that can be done? I also know a little bit about hypnosis, after all, this is also a branch of psychology, why don't you let me try it? Nicole asked earnestly after fixing the wound on Lloyd's hand.
"You can't just try this. First, if you don't get it right, you will detonate the explosives in your heart. Second, it's likely that you'll be like me, get infected and get hypnotized. However, I'm still relatively proficient in hypnosis, so I can control myself, but if you fall for this hypnotism, the consequences will be unimaginable, so it's better not to try it! I'll wonder if there's any other way! Lloyd explained with all seriousness,
"This ......" Nicole sat helplessly on the sofa beside her, her face embarrassed.
"Okay, it's okay, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! But you should confess something to me, right? You see you're doing a great job today! Lloyd clenched his right fist and blew on the side of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Nicole said very calmly and provocatively: "Wouldn't the clever Lloyd not know?" ”
Lloyd smiled, spread his fist, and stretched out his palm: "I just wanted to hear your introduction in person." In that case, then I'll make a start, let's think it's a brick throwing jade - you should know the veil fighting queen, right? ”
Nicole laughed "poof", and sure enough, Lloyd really can't hide anything from him!
"Well, I'll take your lovely smile as an answer. As a martial arts diva, you're still clamoring for me to be your bodyguard all day long!? Lloyd rested his chin in his right hand and stared at the ceiling as he made a thoughtful look.
"Haha! If humans can swim, do they have to swim across the ocean? Nicole asked mischievously with a wink.
Lloyd looked at the mischievous girl with a variety of temperaments in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh again.
"I've heard that someone is willing to pay a lot for your veil!" Lloyd quipped.
"Don't mention it, that man is Towndress. I was reprimanded by me on the way over, how can I be such a loser! And my veil is not for sale! Nicole crossed her arms and said angrily.
"Townsend is a sports fan, so it's normal to pay attention to this unique veil of martial arts diva." Lloyd gave Nicole a thumbs up.
"What about you? When did you know I was ......" Nicole paused.
"I paid attention to it before you even made your debut! Do you believe it? Lloyd said, selling his son.
Nicole's expression changed, her hands clutched the sofa, and asked tentatively, "What do you pay attention to?" ”
"For more than a decade, there is an anonymous philanthropist who has been spending huge sums of money to fund research on the development of national security. Later, the philanthropist's property was targeted by the foreign military, and they used various espionage methods to block and disrupt it, so that all donation channels were cut off. Lloyd said regretfully.
Nicole bit her lip tightly as she listened to Lloyd's story.
And the eldest daughter of this anonymous philanthropist resolutely took up this burden, participated in the international women's fighting competition, and after establishing her reputation, she re-donated her funds to the country through such a new channel! International funding has even been introduced! It's really great! So the value of this veil is unlimited! It can't be measured in money! Lloyd sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"You say it's like a real story, so why do you have to donate like that? Isn't it okay to donate directly? Nicole looked at Lloyd and said, her hands still clutching the couch.
"Because of the big wind, in addition to the competition between enterprises, foreign opponents are also eyeing each other. Moreover, this philanthropist was previously from the army and was determined to contribute to the country. Moreover, he funds all classified projects of the National Security Center, so naturally he can't just fund them through banks or ordinary donations, because there are many hackers who are also watching at any time. When donating funds through new channels, it also played a trick on these enemies, and it was really far-sighted! Lloyd whispered, because when he checked in yesterday, he had confirmed that there were no monitors in every corner.
"Who the hell are you!?" Nicole stood up and rushed to Lloyd, ready to grab her.
Lloyd actually pulled out his left hand that was hanging from his neck in a plaster cast, and then stood up!
Nicole was surprised!
Lloyd raised his left and right hands in a gesture of surrender......
"I'm Lloyd! Who else could I be!? Lloyd said with a serious expression.
This made Nicole cry and laugh, and the grim atmosphere was suddenly dissolved by Lloyd.
Nicole had no choice but to sit back on the couch and pout, "I didn't ask your name!" I mean, how do you know that!? I don't know if I don't know how to let you out of this door today! ”
Lloyd withdrew his left hand, hung it back, and said teasingly: "Thank you for the grace of not killing!" ”
Nicole pursed her lips and forced a smile, although it was said that something so important should be taken seriously! But seeing Lloyd's performance like this, I really can't help but want to laugh.
"Hurry up and tell the truth! Be lenient in your confession! Resist strictly! Nicole tried to stabilize her emotions before she asked sharply.
"You know what? Among the high-level secret research projects that have been funded, there is an important project: a special team is being formed, called the Psychological Task Force, which will be an important team to destroy all foreign conspiracies......" Lloyd's eyes suddenly changed to very resolute, and then he said calmly.
