Chapter 570: The Powerful (I)
Four people came in at the security gate, and the one who had been chattering was a man in a casual shirt who looked like a pure tourist.
In addition to him, there was a strong, dark-skinned man with a sturdy body and obvious tattoos on his face; A short-haired beauty with a petite body and an elegant temperament......
In addition, he is a very young boy who looks a few years younger than Yue Zheng.
The four of them walked directly into this high-authority area, which was different from Yue Qi, who was in a hurry, and different from the serious and cold bodyguard group, so they really felt like they were on a luxury cruise ship used for fun......
At least, a few of them are.
They even ignored the tense atmosphere in the corridor, as well as the not-so-natural people and behaviors, and walked straight in.
The man in the flower shirt still kept talking, saying some specious and strange things. The strongest dark-skinned man kept his head down, while the short-haired beauty had a light expression and did not squint, only the young man, with a little curiosity, glanced over here.
For a moment, Yue Qi's gaze touched the young man.
The other party obviously didn't feel it, but Yue Qi was different.
Because he knows him.
At this moment, the memories that I once thought had been blurred and faded suddenly came up:
Half a year ago, in Aurora Yundu, almost at the same time as the news of Yue Zheng's distortion infection was exposed, their family accidentally met in the elevator, wasn't it this young man?
Ronan!
Being in Xia City, Yue Qi knew more or less about this young man, and he still remembered that at that time, Ronan was also accompanied by a group of people, and he was also the youngest of those people, but he was already a well-deserved core of the crowd.
Half a year later, thousands of miles apart, a completely different situation, this young man is still in this environment that seems out of place with him, like a fish in water!
The man in the flower shirt who never stopped talking about it seemed to be preaching and teaching, but in and out of his words, it was clear that he was introducing Ronan as a kind of person and boasting about himself.
Yue Qi was in another trance, even he didn't know, why he was able to observe so carefully, or was it just an illusion created by himself under mental tension?
But one thing is certain:
The group of bodyguards in front of them, who were originally ruthless, suddenly shrank their formation after a low murmur, and lined up against the wall on this long corridor with limited horizontal space, making room for these four as much as possible.
Even the bodyguard who held Xiao Zeng adjusted his posture and turned his back to the wall to show respect, and by the way, he also put one arm against Xiao Zeng's throat to prevent him from making a sound of alarm.
During this period, there was no hesitation in all the movements, there was no fault, as if everything was taken for granted.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the corner of Yue Qi's heart became a little lively, maybe he could ask for help......
Because of the retreat of the bodyguard group, this area that has been "obstructed" looks much more spacious, and even exposes the wheelchair that has been tightly covered before.
Sitting on it was a middle-aged white man who looked about the same age as Yue Qi, his face was not very good, his skin was an ominous iron red, his eyelids were half-drooping, his energy was low, and he looked seriously ill.
It seems that this temporary elevation of authority is to transport patients?
But when the four walked over as a matter of course, the one in the wheelchair still managed to open his eyes, showed a smile, nodded over there, and said hello.
Such a polite and restrained behavior finally attracted attention.
The man in the flower shirt who has been boasting about the need to "play a style" in the foursome turned his head slightly, and laughed: "Jeff, you old hyena, the charging pile has gone wrong again?"
"I told you a long time ago, that black lion guy can't be trusted, so you might as well make up your mind to let the old witch help you.
"If you keep tossing it, I'm afraid you'll be so rotten that you won't even bother to touch the vultures."
At first glance, the man in the flower shirt and the man in the wheelchair seem to have a good relationship, but under his feet, he doesn't stop, and he doesn't want to talk for a long time.
Jeff smiled in the wheelchair.
After such a beating, Yue Qi choked back on the words of help that came to his lips.
Seeing that the best time to ask for help had been missed, the next moment, four people passed by Xiao Zeng, who was still pressed against the wall, the young man, Ronan...... patted the shoulder of Xiao Zeng's bodyguard who also locked it.
He didn't stop, he just walked over.
The bodyguard subconsciously let go, and then remembered to turn his head to see Jeff's face, who just motioned to the bodyguards around him to push him on.
The group of people returned to their original compact formation, and soon walked past Yue Qi and exited through the security gate where he had just entered.
During this period, Yue Qi didn't dare to move.
In this way, this suddenly congested corridor was suddenly cleared. Within ten meters, only Yue Qi and Xiao Zeng, who were holding their shoulders and moaning, were left, standing and lying down.
The bracelet vibrated again, it should be a notice of another change in authority, what is the specific content, Yue Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, and only vaguely heard the man in the flower shirt praise:
"Hey, there's that!"
Yue Qi woke up in shock, hurried two steps to Xiao Zeng's side, and squatted down: "Don't move, probe the injury first." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look ahead, and the four had already pushed open the portal on the other side of the corridor, cutting off his view.
When an accident happens, it will inevitably delay time.
Although Xiao Zeng's injuries were not serious, it took some time to find the service staff on the cruise ship and take him to the infirmary. By the time things were arranged, Yue Qi was sure that he was going to be late.
By the time Yue Qi arrived at the exhibition hall in Area C12, he was already five minutes behind the agreed time. He explained to Smith halfway that he didn't care much about it, but when they officially met, Yue Qi apologized first.
He didn't say anything specific lightly, and in the whole process, whether it was Ronan, who he knew before, or the "Jeff" he heard in the middle, his identity was by no means simple, so he wouldn't have nothing to do.
The problem is, he didn't mention it, but Smith did, and in a very excited tone: "Hey, York, you just missed a real big guy, old Ells just left." ”
"Old Els?"
Yue Qi, who was still in a trance, subconsciously replied: "Impossible, how old is he!" ”
"That's the most incredible part, you can't even imagine what I saw!"
Smith has a thick, square, wide face, which at first glance looks serious, but in fact has a lot of expression, and now he is super excited and acts more exaggerated like a sitcom actor:
"God, if it weren't for Bai Xinyan greeting him and confirming his identity......"
Due to the overexcitement, the latter words could not even be continued, and Smith could only repeat constantly: "I can't imagine, I can't imagine, this must be a big one."
News, they are ready to make a super big news! ”
"Bai Xinyan?"
Yue Qi heard a familiar name, but it didn't cause too many thoughts, but it was Smith's extraordinary gaffe that made Yue Qi feel obligated to wake up his friend:
"Hey, calm down, basically you can only see that one in the documentary. Are you sure it's old Els, Jeff El......"
The last soft, faint sound of air was suddenly frozen. Next, facing Smith, who was about to speak out with wide-eyed arguments, Yue Qi unconsciously repeated...... Again:
"Jeffer? Which Jeffer? ”
"What else could there be a Jeff!"
"Three war hyenas?"
"Hey!"
Smith was a little upset, and he felt offended.
Only then did Yue Qi remember that Smith was a faithful believer of the old Els.
In the business world, there are many successful people in the standard sense, and many people can make the latecomers bow and worship, hoping to imitate the success path of their predecessors and obtain the supreme blessing of capital power.
But not everyone's name among these successful people has a totemic effect - that is, hearing this name is like touching wealth itself.
In the history of mankind, after the supremacy of the power of capital, there have been only a hundred or ten such figures for three or four centuries.
The "Old Els" bouncing back and forth on Yue Qi and Smith's lips must be one of them.
This is not only because he and his family have been at the top of various wealth rankings for many years, but also because of his own legend.
The elder Els lived in obscurity for the first half of his life, or lived in a gutter that normal people could not understand. Until he was close to 80 years old, he suddenly jumped on the most glorious and cruel stage.
Since before World War III, the wealth of many turbulent countries has been seized through various disgraceful means, the ill-gotten gains have been magnified by the levers of war, and the "reconstruction economics" that has had mixed reputations after the war......
And, of course, there have been countless assassinations and counter-assassinations, subversion and counter-subversion, death and being killed.
In the past twenty or thirty years, as he faded out of various high-exposure affairs, this person has really become a pure totemic symbol, and correspondingly, people all over the world are most concerned about one thing:
Is he alive?
When will he die?
How far can human life be extended regardless of the cost?
This is Jeff Els, a superhuman who is said to have been wandering the earth for more than 130 years.
Some even swear that he is the only person in the world who has experienced World War II...... or a wizard.
Of course, there are many more people who say that the real Jeffer Ells has long since turned to ashes, and the legend left behind now is just a gimmick for the Ells family to keep the legend behind.
Yue Qi had no interest in this kind of thing—until today, until this moment.
He couldn't help but recall everything he had just encountered on the corridor and all the information he received, especially the ridicule of the man in the flower shirt who "didn't see the outside", and there were absurd and bad associations in his mind......
Before he could sort out the conclusive logical chain, or rather, before he had time to believe it, there was already a thin layer of sweat on his body.
