5. The night of the Forbidden City's awakening

The Forbidden City in October 2019 was a crisp autumn with a sassy night breeze. The firm-like sky will trap high-rise buildings, traffic, and living beings in this time and space. The hand at twelve o'clock, every time it beats, the person with insomnia suffers. With each turn, the sleeping person has a nightmare. The bright lights on the ground illuminated the earth, but the night sky became darker and darker. Like inky rice paper, when it is soaked, the black is crumbling. Suddenly, the darkness of the night smashed from the sky to the earth. In the presidential suite of the hotel, Liu Zhi, who was on the big bed, was shocked from his heart, shouted, and sat up suddenly. He hurriedly turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, and it turned out to be a dream.

No, it should be said that Manla's heart was shocked, and she shouted, and sat up suddenly. She hurriedly turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, saw the colored walnut pendant placed at the head of the bed, and her mood gradually calmed down, it turned out to be an old dream.

Hearing Manla's shout, an old man who looked like a black tower slammed the door and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Manla?" As he spoke, he hurriedly searched around the room. After seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Manla.

Manra straightened her hair, put on her gown, and stepped out of bed to the windowsill. The bumpy figure, the three-dimensional and sensual face, gloomy above the glass. Her breasts rose and fell, her heart palpitations had not stopped, and she said slowly, "Who am I?" ”

The old man stood in place, looking at Manla's back with pampered eyes. I thought to myself, it turned out to be a nightmare, but fortunately, there were no accidents. So, he said, "Although you just call me Uncle, your current role is my daughter of Suriradi Zheng." Remember, you are a Manra and only a Manra. ”

Manla hugged her white and tender arms, and the past was vivid. As if a bullet was passing through her body repeatedly, she couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fainted. Uncle Suradi wanted to come over and help, but when he saw that Manla didn't fall, he hesitated for a moment, stayed where he was, and watched Manla nervously. Manla felt her emotions almost out of control, frowned, and said in a trembling voice, "I used to be afraid of death because there were too many reasons for me to want to live. Don't be afraid now, because there are not many reasons left. Now there are only two left, and one will be completed soon. ”

Uncle Suradi felt that his mouth was very stupid, and he didn't know how to comfort Manla in front of him, shaking his head and sighing for a long time, but he still didn't have a word to say. He turned around and went out, took the half bottle of whiskey he had left over from his gritted teeth, and said, "Manla, I'm a rough man. I know you shouldn't think so, but I don't have anything to say. I'll drink with you at the bar, and if you drink too much, you'll be better. Every time I have something on my mind, it's like this. ”

Manla took the wine glass handed over by Uncle Suladi, drank it all, and smiled reluctantly: "Uncle, don't forget." I drink a lot, and when I drink with you, I'm bullying you. ”

Uncle Suradi laughed dryly twice, hiding his embarrassment. Seeing that Manla's mood had improved somewhat, she sat down on the sofa next to the window and said, "Shouldn't you tell me about the call you received in the afternoon?" Your nightmares, is it related to that phone call? ”

Manla sighed, nodded, sat down opposite Uncle Suladi, and said, "It was Ah Kun who called, and he came to the mainland." ”

Uncle Suradi was shocked when he heard this, stood up suddenly, smashed the wine glass in his hand, and said angrily: "You have finally shown up, I will throw you into the crocodile pond and let the crocodile eat you alive." ”

Seeing that Uncle's right hand was cut by a broken glass, Manla quickly got up and fetched alcohol and gauze. first comforted Uncle to sit down, and he half-squatted to clean Uncle's wounds, and then carefully bandaged the wounds. said with a slight reprimand: "You are so old, can you be a little calmer." Be careful with your body, being angry is no joke. Did the old lady let you protect me, or did she let you be protected by me? ”

Uncle looked at the gauze in his hand, glanced at Manla who was squatting beside him, and said kindly: "You are so young, you die all day long, I am so old, I am not afraid." Say, what did that bastard scum say, where is he now? ”

Manla cleaned up the broken glass, sat back on the couch, sighed, and said, "This morning, Butterfly's studio opened, and I think he followed me there." When I got back to the hotel, he spoke to me on the phone and we'll meet alone tomorrow morning. ”

Uncle Suradi sensed that Manla would be in danger, and said in a very hard tone: "Somewhere, I will go over and take him back to Siam." ”

Manla smiled and said, "He didn't say anything, he just told me to wait for the call." I'll go see him alone, I'll have a better chance of catching him. If you go, you will alarm him. Besides, if you are alone, you will be in danger. ”

Uncle Suradi has always thought that he should be old and strong, and he is most afraid of being told that he is old and has no strength to do things. So, in a fit of pride, he stood up and said, "First of all, I will be able to catch him 100 percent by myself." Secondly, I am not alone, this time I came to the Forbidden City, and I brought twenty people. Stay on the same floor with us, and you'll be kept safe with all your heart. However, I plan to go to Ah Kun alone and let you see Uncle A's skills. ”

Manla stood up with a smile, comforted Uncle Suradi to sit down again, and said softly, "Uncle, I know you are very powerful. Ah Kun, that thief, you can catch it. However, this is the mainland, and our means cannot be used here. When I came back this time, I learned some skills from my new friends, and I plan to use them on this kid tomorrow to try the effect. Besides, if I hadn't gone alone, Ah Kun would never show up. Moreover, he will not let me see him easily, and he will be very cautious in the meeting tomorrow. ”

Uncle Suradi sighed in a long voice, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll call someone in, you pick it." No, tomorrow you take everyone away. No, I'll go with you tomorrow. As he spoke, the old man felt that his plan was perfect, and nodded contentedly.

Manla smiled bitterly and thought to herself, this old man is so stubborn, it seems that he can only change the subject. I talked to the old man about something else first, and let him do what he planned in a roundabout way. So he said, "Uncle, I'll talk about this later." You told me on the phone that someone from the mainland was checking my information at home, do you know what's going on? ”

Uncle Suradi heard Manla talk about this matter, and he happened to be about to talk about it himself, so he replied: "The information I determined the day before yesterday, although it was inquired by people from the mainland, I feel that it should be someone from the Han family who is investigating." Therefore, after carefully preparing for a day at home, I rushed over today. At this, the old man's face turned red, as if he was hiding something.

Manla knew him very well, and it was estimated that the so-called boy prepared carefully, but in fact, he secretly went to drink and was drunk. Uncle Suradi is not in good health, and the doctor advises against drinking. Mrs. Zheng also gave a death order and did not allow him to get alcohol again. However, the whole of Siam knew the old man's habits, and he couldn't quit at all. Manla felt that instead of letting him drink secretly, it was better to drink it in front of his family, so as to get a peace of mind. Manla saw through it but didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "I don't think it's a big fuss, a while ago, didn't I take in a small company and a plastic surgery hospital." I was a little unhappy with a shareholder, and he should have been inquiring about me. ”

Uncle Suradi shook his fat head and said, "We are not people who are afraid of this thing now, this time the mainland is investigating you, and before I came, there were three forces that were determined." What kind of shareholder are you talking about, it is estimated that it is one of the shares. ”

Hearing this, Manla pondered for a moment and said, "I'm talking about cooperation with the Fifth Group, and it is estimated that they are also investigating my background. I don't think it's a big deal, tens of billions of cooperation, and it is natural to do background checks. ”

Uncle Suradi raised a thick finger and asked, "What about the other one?" ”

Manla shook her head and said, "Now I can't think of who it is, the Han family wants to check me, do you need to make such a big turn?" ”

Uncle Suradi said seriously: "At home, we are watching their every move. They have never known the details of your truth, and the only people in the family who know the truth are me and the old lady. Anyone who tried to get to the bottom of the situation by getting me drunk would have my leg broken immediately. With that, the old man fell into the latest drunken scene.

Manla said with a little complaint: "Yesterday, whose leg did you break? Tell me the truth, I promise not to sue the old lady. ”

Uncle Suradi said in amazement: "How do you know, who told you." ”

Manla smiled shyly, it seemed that she had to say it if she saw through it, or the old man would have beaten his subordinates violently to take revenge on the informant. So, he said, "Uncle, I know very well what you look like." You never prepare, and yesterday if you hadn't been drunk, and if you hadn't given an order from the old lady, you would have come over as soon as possible. ”

Uncle Suradi smirked a few times, raised his thick palm, patted the back of his head, and said shyly: "You are still amazing, you can guess it." The proprietress of the bar, fooled me into drinking a lot. She didn't know that she was from the Han family, and I went yesterday to inquire about the news. ”

Manla gasped and said, "Old man, you hit a woman!" ”

Uncle Suradi said arrogantly: "How can you look at me like this, I didn't beat her, I beat her little white face." I guess I'm picking up my leg in the hospital now......" said the old man with a smug smile.

Manla laughed, "Then you're not drunk either."

Uncle Suradi smiled childishly: "If you don't beat people, you will get drunk when you go back to the manor......" Speaking of this, the old man suddenly felt bad and said, "Ghost girl, you are changing the topic with me!" Tomorrow you don't want to go by yourself, or you can honestly stay in the hotel for me. I'm here to follow you and protect you. Wherever you go, I'll follow. If you have a little accident, don't say that the old lady won't let me go, I, the old man, will die for you immediately. ”

Manlawan smiled, thinking to himself, although the old man was reckless, he was also shrewd. However, she thinks that she is more clever than scheming. She didn't say anything, and still said at her own pace: "At noon today, I was going to pick up people and come to the Forbidden City to see a doctor. Because you came suddenly, I changed my itinerary. Before the break, I had already arranged the hospital. Tomorrow morning, the patient will be in the Forbidden City. I thought about it, it would be beneficial for our cooperation to have more private contact between Uncle and the Fifth Group. The mainland has opened two peaceful development channels by land and sea, and with the strength of the Fifth Group and with the help of their characteristic small economy development projects, it will be easy for us to defeat the Han family. ”

Uncle Suradi was really diverted and said, "I know the strength of the Fifth Group, but I don't know what you mean. ”

Manla continued: "The ones who went to pick up the patients today were Fifth Zhenhao, the president of the Fifth Group, and Peng Huadie. Tomorrow morning, you will pick up the patient at the hospital for me, and by the way, get to know the fifth president. ”

Uncle Suradi thought for a while and said, "I've just been here for a long time, and I can't figure out what is going on here. Although, our own family also runs a hospital, but is your arrangement inappropriate? ”

Manla smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, I will let my driver follow you, he knows some general things." Fifth, he also knows him, and I am also very familiar with the relationship between the hospital, so you can just do what you are good at. ”

Uncle Suradi thought to himself, Manla has always been safe, and he should not arrange this for him to do it casually. It's just that this patient has such a big formation. So, he asked, "Who is this patient, is he from the Fifth Group?" ”

Manla shook her head, hesitated, and said, "No, it's ...... Liu Zhicong's mother, if she didn't paint butterflies, she wouldn't leave the newly opened studio alone, and flew to Eye City to pick up people before the opening ceremony ended. ”

When Uncle Suradi heard that the patient was Liu Zhicong's mother, he didn't know what to say for a while, he was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "What is the old man's disease?" ”

Manla couldn't hide her sadness: "It's basically been diagnosed, it's cancer." Take a break tonight and depart early tomorrow morning on the Fifth General Private Jet to the Forbidden City. ”

Uncle Suradi sighed, his expression was also a little sad, and he probably understood Manla's intentions. So, he said in a low voice, "Thank you, girl." Tomorrow you have to be careful, I will arrange for someone to protect you secretly. ”。

Manra nodded, wanting to say something, but her mood began to slack again, leaving her with nothing to say. Suradi sighed a few times and stood up and walked over to Manra. He patted her on the shoulder, turned to leave, hesitated again, picked up the bottle on the table, closed the broken door, and walked out of the room.
