Chapter 42: You Only Have One Chance
When Bai Qingling woke up, the sky had just dawned, and before his eyes opened, his hand touched his side first.
Where you start, it's cold.
She opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the bed.
Yan Lou is not there.
Her heart was a little empty and a little uncomfortable.
He clearly said that he was going to accompany her, and he said that he was there.
She didn't know when he left for such a dangerous night.
Bai Qingling was uncomfortable for a while, then sat up, walked to the window and opened a slit.
There seemed to be a lot more guards outside than yesterday, and inside and outside the White Mansion, there were soldiers who had been temporarily transferred from the barracks.
She even saw the few people she had seen in the barracks before.
Those people also changed their appearance as ruffians, and looked around with guns with serious faces, as if there would be something dangerous at any time and anywhere.
Bai Qingling sat back on the side of the bed, pressed the electric bell, and when she learned that Yan Lou left at four o'clock in the morning, she was a little strange and a little worried, she asked the maid through the door, "But where did you go and what did you do?" ”
The servant replied, "I didn't leave a word." ”
Bai Qingling asked her to prepare breakfast through the door, and she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Seeing that the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor have been repaired overnight, and there are many people guarding outside, I feel a little relieved.
While sitting in the dining room, the servant reported that the cook Lawrence had been hit by a gun that had been fired into the hall on the first floor last night, and that he had been taken to the hospital.
"Someone was hurt." She muttered, "What about others, but also someone is hurt?" ”
"Nope."
Bai Qingling thought for a moment, if she went to the restaurant last night, would she have been attacked by a cold gun?
As soon as I thought about it, my eyebrows furrowed again.
She glanced outside the dining room, which was indeed very dangerous, and stood up at the moment, and ordered the servant to bring breakfast and go upstairs with her.
Her life is precious.
This time, instead of going back to the bedroom, she went to the guest room.
Although the guest room is not as comfortable as her master bedroom, at the moment of danger, Yan Lou is not there, and she is still worried that her life is more important.
After finishing breakfast in the guest room, she asked the maid to take it out, she stood by the window with the curtains drawn and looked outside, and felt more and more that Yan Lou's sudden departure should be to do something big.
Otherwise, what could be more important than her?
In the afternoon, when the black car honked its horn, the heavily guarded gate of the White Mansion opened.
She threw down the book and walked to the window to look down, and saw that the car had stopped in front of the small western-style building, and the young white face without powder was not smiling, especially when she saw another person getting out of the car, she was simply angry.
She even walked quickly to the door of the guest room, slammed the door shut, walked down the stairs quickly, and took a look at Yan Lou, who had entered the hall, and Xiao Lian, who was hiding not far behind him.
Thinking of the Yan Lou that I promised to guard her in the early morning, when I left for this little nanny, I was so angry!
This anger was extreme, but she calmed down, stood on the stairs, and frowned coldly, "Adjutant Yan, is this what you left at four o'clock in the morning to do, the person you want to protect?" ”
When the guards and subordinates in the hall heard this, they should go and retreat, and in an instant, except for Miss Bai on the stairs, and Yan Lou and Xiao Lian downstairs, all disappeared.
What are you kidding, the eldest lady's adjutant Yan is so cold that the iceman falls into the cold abyss, if they still want to live well and don't leave, are they waiting to die?!
Yan Lou was wearing a black military uniform, dusty, and if he looked closely, there seemed to be some gray on his cloak.
He took off his cloak and walked towards Bai Qingling.
Xiao Lianzi entered the small western-style building, and when she saw Bai Qingling not daring to move, she didn't dare to move when she saw Yan Lou walking over, she didn't dare to step forward, she didn't dare to go out, she pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and stood pitifully in place.
Bai Qingling had already gone down to the three stairs left, and when he saw him coming, he stopped, looked at him condescendingly, and had a cold little face, "Stop, don't come here!" ”
Yan Lou stood still, but asked Xiao Lian to find a servant, and when Xiao Lian left, he looked at Bai Qingling on the stairs, his eyes full of tiredness, "Lu Jingtian asked someone to find me and take her out." ”
The corners of Bai Qingling's lips hooked up a sneer, "Lu Jingtian asked someone to find you?" It's too late for him to hate you, and people will come to you? You have had many conflicts with Lu Jingtian before and after, and you hurt him, how could he think of asking you to help him? Yan Lou, are you stupid to me! ”
The man didn't speak, took two steps forward and took her hand, walked to the sofa, then took the phone and shook the phone directly.
The phone was connected, and Lu Jingtian's voice came from the phone, "Hey? ”
Bai Qingling stared at Yan Lou, stretched out his hand to take the phone, and hung up again.
"So he begged you and you agreed? Why would he believe that you can rescue the babysitter? Bai Qingling sat on the sofa and looked up at him, his face still cold.
Yan Lou sat down and rubbed his eyebrows, "He said that he would exchange the Lu family's treasury for her to live." ”
Bai Qingling narrowed his eyes, "Chief Lu's death, was it done above?" ”
"Lu Jingtian is so suspicious, that's why he begged me," Yan Lou held her little hand, "If you don't want to save it, then you won't save it." ”
Bai Qingling pursed his lips, "Lu Jingtian is in the hospital, how can you suspect that it was done from above?" ”
"It was Liao Dongren who led people to copy the Lu family." Yan Lou said.
Liao Dongren.
When Liao Dongren left Haicheng, he was convinced that the Lu family had swallowed the gold bars in the vault, so he came to Haicheng with the triple mission of assassinating Chief Lu, stealing the Lu family's property and the gold bars that the Lu family had privately swallowed.
Miss Bai thought for a moment and asked him, "When Chief Lu is not dead, he will be counted as going to raid his house above?" ”
Yan Lou nodded, "I'm afraid I think so, during the time he was hospitalized, Lu Jingtian frequently went to the hospital, and Chief Lu probably told him about the Lu family's treasury, but he probably didn't think that the above would assassinate him, and he wanted to privately swallow the Lu family's property." ”
"If it weren't for the fact that you and I had posted a marriage notice before the above shot, I'm afraid that the Bai family would have suffered this accident."
Bai Qingling lives herself with others, thinking that if she hadn't moved her mind at the beginning, and Yan Lou happened to put it forward, she reacted in time and reported it, at this moment, her Bai family and Shuai Yin were afraid that they would also be manipulated by the above.
Thinking of this, she was afraid for a while, and involuntarily grabbed his fingers, and her palms were sweaty, "Promise him." ”
Bai Qingling looked up at Yan Lou, "Promise him first." ”
Yan Lou frowned silently and nodded, "Okay, she will stay here first." ”
Although Bai Qingling deserved to panic in his heart, he also nodded.
Although Xiao Lian is very hateful, she will not die with the Lu family.
What's more, Lu Jingtian used the Lu family's treasury in exchange for her life.
Although Bai Qingling was disgusted with the relationship between Lu Jingtian and Xiao Lian, she also saw Lu Jingtian's love for Xiao Lian in the midst of tribulation, which made her have to admit that she admired and was jealous.
In the turbulent times, this treasury is the foundation and opportunity for the Lu family to make a comeback, and Chief Lu told Lu Jingtian to prepare in advance, and he also has a plan to make a comeback.
But he made a lot of calculations, I'm afraid he didn't calculate it, Lu Jingtian didn't want this opportunity for the sake of Xiao Pity's life, and he didn't plan to make a comeback!
Bai Qingling only felt mixed feelings.
Straw bag Lu Jingtian would rather not want anything, and the Lu family would not want it either, just to save a little pity.
She looked at him, "Yan Lou, is Xiao Lian really so good?" Good enough that he would trade the vault for her. ”
The man glanced down at her clenching his hand and looked at her, "He thinks it's good, I don't think it's good." ”
Bai Qingling lowered his eyes and laughed at himself, "He thinks she is good, so good that she can exchange the love of the Bai and Lu families, my father's life, and the only chance for the Lu family to rise, isn't she good?" Maybe you just don't know how good she is. ”
"Miss," he lifted her chin and made her look at him, "How about Lu Jingtian, it's Lu Jingtian, it doesn't represent everyone, it doesn't represent me." ”
She looked at him and nodded.
*
Liao Dongren dug up and down every corner of the Lu family, even digging three feet into the ground, but he didn't dig up a single piece of gold.
Not to mention the gold bars in the stolen vault, it is the Lu family's own vault, he didn't get it at all, he didn't find it, there are a lot of antiques, but in this troubled world, what are the antiques, real money is real.
In his eagerness, he rushed to the hospital to look for Lu Jingtian, but only got the news that Lu Jingtian left with the body of Chief Lu.
Of course, Liao Dongren refused to let him go easily, and tortured the doctors and nurses who had been detained by Lu Jingtian before, but he found nothing, and finally made a phone call to the Bai Mansion to find Yan Lou.
When the Bai family maid received the call, Yan Lou was not there, but Bai Qingling was there, Bai Qingling took the phone, and Liao Dongren knew that it was Miss Bai, and his tone slowed down, and he was much more gentlemanly.
"Miss Bai, is Adjutant Yan here?"
"Yan Lou is not here, who are you? What's the matter with him? Bai Qingling's tone was cold.
Liao Dongren had already reported to her home after answering the phone, and the maid had already reported it, and her attitude was clearly very dislike the other party's call.
Liao Dongren pondered for a moment and said, "In Xia Liao Dongren, I met Miss Bai when I was in the club before. ”
"Oh, I don't remember." Bai Qingling said, "What are you looking for Yan Lou?" ”
"May I ask where Adjutant Yan went?" Liao Dongren wanted to know Lu Jingtian's news, and he intuitively felt that Yan Lou knew.
"I don't care where he is, maybe he's training, I don't know, or you can go to the barracks to have a look, and you might see him!" Bai Qingling said.
Although Liao Dongren brought people to Haicheng, he did not dare to clash with the soldiers left behind by Bai Dashuai, you must know that the soldiers trained by Bai Dashuai are a top ten brave and invincible.
Yan Lou is the most courageous fighter under Bai Dashuai, which is different from a literati gentleman like him.
If there is a disagreement in the past, it may be who suffers.
He would never clash with the future marshal because of a Lu Jingtian.
After thinking about it like this, he politely hung up the phone.
Bai Qingling saw that he hung up the phone on the other side, and hung up as well, sat on the sofa, looked at Xiao Pian who was trembling in front of him, and sneered, "What are you shaking, are you afraid that I won't be able to hand you over?" ”
Xiao Lian bit her lip and didn't speak, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't get rid of it, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Bai Qingling couldn't see this the most, especially since this person was still an enemy of her.
She sneered again, "Who are you looking like this for, me?" I don't eat your set, if Lu Jingtian is here, or Yan Lou is here, or other men are here, maybe they will look at you more, in my place, you'd better save your tears! ”
"I won't take a second look."
As soon as Yan Lou entered the hall, he saw such a scene, and Liang Liang opened his mouth to answer.
Bai Qingling turned his head to look over, turned back again, and said to Xiao Lian, "Are you going down, or do I invite you to go down?" ”
Xiao Lian hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, and when she turned to leave, she passed by Yan Lou and stopped.
Bai Qingling stood up suddenly, "Don't be embarrassed, and bring out the same set against Lu Jingtian, let me tell you, either you shut up, or you get out of here now!" ”
When Xiao Pian came to his lips, he was so frightened that he swallowed it, glanced at Yan Lou, blessed his body, and left in a hurry.
Bai Qingling's face turned pale with anger, her hands trembled slightly, she stared at Yan Lou, and when she saw him coming step by step, she said angrily, "I regret it!" ”
The man stretched out his hand and hugged her, tightening his heart, "Now I can only send Chief Lu's body away, there are people in all jurisdictions of Haicheng who are checked, the dead can get by, the living can't get by, Lu Jingtian and her have to stay for a while longer." ”
Bai Qingling closed his eyes, "I didn't let them die, it's all unfilial piety to my father, and now I have to be greedy for money to save the lives of the two of them." ”
Yan Lou said, "The Lu family's vault is not allowed to be opened for the time being, and now Liao Dongren is tracking it tightly, but whenever there is a change in the bank's money, he will bite it." ”
He looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window and said lightly, "You're not wrong, Lu Jingtian doesn't have this money to make a comeback, his Lu family will never be able to get up, you don't get this money for yourself, you are for the deceased handsome." ”
Bai Qingling nodded, "If you say that, my apologies are much less, and what you say is always right." ”
Yan Lou pulled her to sit down and pointed out the window, "Look outside, this day is going to change sooner or later, a few days ago it was still the world of the Lu family, and after today, there will be no place for the Lu family in Haicheng." ”
He looked at Bai Qingling, "Miss, you have avenged the handsome." ”
Bai Qingling turned his face and looked at this man who was so handsome that people couldn't ignore him.
yes, revenge.
But how much of this revenge is avenged by herself?
If there is no Yan Lou, I am afraid that there will be no scum left of the Bai family who was slaughtered and copied at this time, and what about her, what will be the ending.
Bai Qingling looked at him with a complicated expression.
The Bai family's revenge has been avenged, but she really loves him so much that she wants to stay with him for the rest of her life?
Do you have a liking for him? Some.
Is this love strong?
She didn't know.
She also knew that this hesitation at this time was really shameful, but she just thought so involuntarily.
Yan Lou looked at her and slowly turned his face, "Go and rest, I'll do the rest." ”
Bai Qingling looked at his handsome face and nodded.
After she left, the man sat on the couch and lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, he slowly frowned.
*
Dockside.
A tall man with shaved hair and a faint scalp and a gray linen cloth garment carried a bag of goods to the ship.
He said to the boat boss, "Yan Lou promised me that I would definitely send my father's body to Fengtian, you must be careful on the way." ”
The captain of the boat said, "I'm afraid that the corpse will smell after a few days, but fortunately, it is cold, but if it really smells, then we will be cremated, and then we will send the ashes over." ”
"That's not going to work!" Lu Jingtian had red eyes, "My father is most afraid of fire, don't set fire to him, it's a big deal, it's a big deal that you ask for money from the person who contacted Fengtian again, you just say that when I Lu Jingtian settles down in Fengtian, I will definitely bring the money to him!" ”
"Pull it down! You're too busy to take care of yourself now, we just have to send the corpse, but if the corpse stinks and we are arrested, we won't do it, you just say you don't agree or not, maybe what's going on with the money! ”
Lu Jingtian wiped his tears with his sleeve and cried into the boat, "Dad, my son is not filial, let you be burned if you are gone, I, I will repay you in the next life, let you take the whip casually, I must not hide, I must be filial to you!" ”
"Okay, okay, if it weren't for Yan Gongzi's explanation, we wouldn't have waded into this troubled water, if we were caught, it would be a big crime to lose our heads! Don't cry and cry, if you lure people over, no one will get good! ”
Seeing the cargo ship drive away, Lu Jingtian knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head firmly, and then straightened up and looked at the ship, it was already far away.
The blood on his forehead turned into bloody mud, and his face was full of tears.
Lu Jingtian, the son of the Lu family, has never been so embarrassed and sad and frustrated in his life.
*
In the hall on the first floor of the Bai Mansion, Xiao Lian waited in the dark for a long time, and finally waited for Bai Qingling to go upstairs, and waited until the sound of the door closing upstairs sounded, before taking off his shoes and slipping out silently.
Walking to the sofa, she looked at Yan Lou, knelt on the ground, and fell down.
Yan Lou looked at her and didn't speak.
Xiao Lian kowtowed, raised his face, and his face was already full of tears, "Thank you Yan Gongzi for saving your life." ”
Yan Lou still didn't speak, his face was indifferent, and the smoke between his fingers slowly curled.
Xiao Lian wiped away her tears with her sleeve and whispered earnestly, "Young Master Yan, please spare Sedum, I don't ask for anything else, as long as he lives!" ”
After she finished speaking, Baba looked at Yan Lou and waited for him to reply.
The man retracted his gaze, glanced at the unburned cigarette between his fingers, and said slowly, "As long as you live." ”
"Nope! I, I want him to live well! She bit her lower lip and bit out a bloody streak before she added, "He is used to hugging the front and back, if he looks like one from now on," Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and looked at Yan Lou with a little horror.
Yan Lou looked at her indifferently with a pale face, "Like something, like an orphan." ”
"No, no, Yan Gongzi, I haven't been to school, I've been with my mother since I was a child, and everyone I meet can't speak, I can't speak, I can't say bad things, you, don't take it to heart, just when I talk nonsense, the dog can't spit out ivory." Xiao Lian lowered her head, not daring to look at him, but still insisted, "Young Master Yan, please spare Sedum for my mother's sake, let him live well!" ”
Yan Lou raised his eyebrows and looked at her coldly, "Are you sure you want to exchange favors for Lu Jingtian, I said that there is only one chance for you." ”
