Chapter 9: Two Sisters in Despair
Seeing Li Xiang running back from below, Mina was surprised: "Why did you run out by yourself?" Beware of getting lost. ”
In her opinion, Li Xiang basically sat on the ground as soon as he came back, and sometimes didn't move for several hours.
Chen Hong stood next to him, feeling bad in his heart, and said that women in love are the most stupid, and sure enough, they are right.
Can you still get lost? What are these brain circuits?
"I just saw two people below, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I went down to take a look." Li Xiang walked to the door of the room and saw that Mina's mood had stabilized, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Chen Hong with a smile.
"Nothing, right?" Mina asked.
Li Xiang smiled and shook his head.
Chen Hong stared at Li Xiang. Since seeing Li Xiang make a move, she has gained a layer of understanding about the young man in front of her, who is only one or two years older than herself.
Under that seemingly unfazed face, the pressure he was under would never be as light as the words he was accustomed to.
As smart as she could almost guess what was going on.
She wanted to say sorry, only to find that he had realized what he was going to say and was smiling at her.
Looking at that delicate face, Chen Hong suddenly felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.
She glanced at Mina, who had already gone over to pull Li Xiang into the room, and sighed secretly, but soon squeezed a smile on her face again.
Isn't that what life is?
"Li Xiang, I want to ask Manager Ma for two days off, and accompany Sister Hong out to find a job tomorrow, is it okay?" Mina pulled Li Xiang into the room, hugged his changed clothes in her arms, and prepared to take them down and wash them.
"It's good." Li Xiang said lightly.
Anyway, now he can receive a salary of 8,000 himself, and even if he pays the monthly rent of two rooms at the same time, it will not be a problem. However, he was never used to making more ideas for others.
Chen Hong smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to ask for leave, I'll go by myself." ”
Mina shook her head. "That's not good, there is always someone to take care of, maybe I can give you ideas."
With that, the two of them had already begun to plan what they were going to do tomorrow. In the end, even what time to wake up and how much time to set aside for makeup and breakfast are clearly planned.
Li Xiang meditated with his eyes closed, and his mood was extremely calm.
The next day, the two went out early, and Mina deliberately changed into new clothes and gently put breakfast on the bedside table before leaving.
Li Xiang returned to work at the Shenguang Club until nearly 12 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the door, he keenly sensed that several other security colleagues were looking at him strangely.
Captain Qin and Xiao Hei appeared together, and after handing over the matter of the routine meeting to Xiao Hei, he motioned for Li Xiang to go with him.
"Huang Xinquan jumped to his death in the early hours of this morning."
In the captain's office, Captain Qin brought Li Xiang a cup of tea, leaned on the sofa occupied by the security guards to play cards, and said a piece of news that surprised Li Xiang slightly.
"When?" Li Xiang asked.
Captain Qin raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Xiang. "It was found at three o'clock in the morning today, in the barley building. Are you sure it has nothing to do with you? ”
Li Xiang didn't care about Captain Qin's suspicions at all, but just thought in his heart, with Huang Xinquan's greedy character and fear of death, how could he commit suicide by himself?
"I don't even know where the barley building is." Li Xiang said simply and directly.
Captain Qin suddenly sighed. "Of course I believe you, but no matter what, this incident happened at this point in time, and you and the girl named Chen Hong will definitely be inseparable. The eldest young master, let me remind you today that the barley may use this as an article. After all, it was the high-ranking barley who died, and you were just civilians in Area D. ”
When Li Xiang heard this, he frowned and said, "This can also be regarded as a reason?" ”
Li Xiangke has never heard of it, because of his low status, he should take the blame.
"If the Qian family bites Huang Xinquan's death and is related to the incident the night before, then the temple will definitely start an investigation, and with the Qian family's current ability, let alone the three of you, even the divine light may be in some trouble."
Li Xiang said lightly: "Captain Qin has something to say. ”
Captain Qin put down the water glass in his hand and said seriously: "Shenguang wants to confirm what strength and attitude you have, and see if it is worth carrying this matter." ”
He looked at Li Xiang, but found that the young man didn't react much, and was still blowing lightly on the cup of tea.
"You have to understand the cost." Captain Qin kindly reminded. "If this matter is not carried down by the divine light, then no place in the entire 13th district, or even other large regions, dares to take in the girl named Chen Hong, this is one of them. Second, if the temple initiates an investigation into you, even if it is not because of you, you will still be punished as a civilian. ”
He paused and continued, "If you add the Qian family's power in the Inquisition Court of District C, you may face more than thirty years in prison, or even direct death. ”
"Even if it wasn't because of me?" Li Xiang couldn't have imagined that there was such a method of punishment, just because he was a civilian in Area D, he was inferior.
Captain Qin nodded vigorously.
"So, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiang had already put the cup of tea back on the table. "I won't work for the Li family."
A cold light flashed in Captain Qin's eyes, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared. "Are you sure you don't think about it anymore?"
"No, you don't." Li Xiang took off the security guard's badge on his body, threw it directly into the teacup that had been drunk, and turned around and left the office.
As soon as he left on his front foot, the figure of Li Anguo in a straight suit on his back foot had already appeared in front of Qin Hao, seeing the expression on the latter's face, Li Anguo smiled faintly: "He rejected the kindness of our Li family?" ”
"I really don't know what to do." Qin Hao poured out the badge in the teacup and placed it flat on the table.
When Li Anguo saw the badge, he suddenly understood, raised his eyebrows, and sighed: "There is an old saying that if you don't see a coffin, you won't shed tears." People, the biggest sorrow is that you can't see how many pounds and taels you have. It's okay to let them suffer, so that they can understand that being a dog doesn't need backbone. ”
"You go and tell Lao Ma to fire the little girl named Mina, and the work certificates of the three of them will be deducted along with this month's salary." Li Anguo commanded.
"But Young Master Anbang's side ......" Qin Hao was a little embarrassed.
Previously, the second young master of the Li family took the initiative to find him and asked him to take more care of the kid named Li Xiang in the future.
"Don't worry, Anbang will understand." Li Anguo sat down, and the news from this morning's materials came to his mind.
The fat man who had been "sweeping" in Area D with him knew better than anyone how greedy he was and afraid of death.
Originally, he was still a little sorry, but when he thought of this, the Qian family had another handle in his hands, and suddenly felt that this old friend had died well.
"Why is this happening?" After walking with Chen Hong for a day, Mina, who had interviewed four clubs in a row, stood in the passage on the fourth floor of the Shenguang Club, covering her face and sobbing quietly.
Dozens of former colleagues looked at the two helpless girls from a distance and talked about it, but none of them took a step forward or even said a word for them.
Manager Ma, who had decorated his eyes, seemed to be sweating all the time, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, he had begun to bald, and his red face was full of helplessness.
"It's a notice from above, and we can't help it."
"Even if you don't give us a job certificate, why don't you pay your salary?" Mina said angrily, "I'm going to the temple to complain to you, it's illegal for you to do so. ”
"Mina......" Manager Ma looked anxious, "Don't make trouble, if this matter continues, it won't be good for you, you might as well go back and ask your friend." ”
"What's wrong with Li Xiang?" Mina was stunned for a moment.
Manager Ma lowered his voice and broke out in a cold sweat. "I don't know what's going on, but I heard that after he was called over by Captain Qin today, such an order came down from above, so you better go back and ask him."
He looked around cautiously and said, "No, I have to go too." ”
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Mina and Chen Hong were completely stunned. Didn't Li Xiang do a good job here? Why is the company suddenly going to rectify the two of them because of Li Xiang.
"He said Li Xiang went back?" Mina hadn't quite reacted yet. Now there are at least two hours left before Li Xiang gets off work.
Chen Hong had already known in his heart, hugged Mina in his arms, and comforted: "Don't think too much, let's go back first." ”
Mina was almost lost and taken back to the dormitory by Chen Hong.
"I'm sorry, I've bothered you two."
After listening to Chen Hong's narration, Li Xiang's heart was full of apologies. He knew very well in his heart that this was just someone from the Shenguang Group secretly putting pressure on him.
"Let's rest for a few days. I will definitely find a better job in the future. ”
"I can't help it." Mina had stopped crying and rubbed her red eyes, "Today we ran to four places, and all of them asked Sister Hong to provide proof of work from the original company. They don't care how well you do, they don't prove that they don't even give you a chance to use common sense. ”
Chen Hong looked at the sad Mina and sighed slightly, but did not speak.
In fact, after today's interview, she already has a number in her heart, and she doesn't want to do any more useless struggles.
"Li Xiang, what is Captain Qin looking for you today?" Mina asked.
Li Xiang glanced at Chen Hong lightly: "Huang Xinquan committed suicide by jumping off the building." ”
The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Chen Hong shook his head and said: "Impossible, with Huang Xinquan's person, it is impossible to commit suicide on this matter." ”
Li Xiang didn't explain much, and added. "I jumped off the Shenguang Group in the early hours of this morning. I was also told to me by Captain Qin. ”
"Captain Qin said that the inquisition court of the temple may start an investigation against me."
Li Xiang said, suddenly seeing the faces of the two of them, it was suddenly difficult to see the extreme, and Mina began to cry silently.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiang was puzzled.
Chen Hong hugged Mina and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"How can this be ......" Mina burst into tears and repeated the phrase repeatedly.
The Trial Chamber of Area C may only initiate an investigation of a civilian if the interests of the civilian population in Area D are seriously violated by the interests of the Region. And since the beginning of this system, not a single civilian who has entered the court has ever returned.
According to the temple, these people are blasphemous to the rules set by the gods, and they are reincarnated as beasts in advance, and they can only be slaughtered in the next life.
Even minor charges face at least 30 years in prison.
Thirty years! That's the life of a civilian in Area D, is there any difference with the death penalty?
Chen Hong resigned, she herself was dismissed, and Li Xiang also lost her job, and now the temple court may start an investigation into Li Xiang.
This piece of bad news was like the last straw that pressed the camel, so that a few days ago, she was only struggling for a salary of a few thousand yuan a month, lost all hope of survival.
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of shadows." Li Xiang could only comfort her like this.
After a long time, Mina suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Xiang. "Li Xiang, will you go? Get out of here, far away. Go to a place where they can't find you, I know you have the ability. ”
This is already the greatest courage that the little girl can muster.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Li Xiang stood up.
If you continue to worry about this matter like this, when will you break through the barrier that you have begun to loosen?
According to his character, a conclusion must be made to this matter.
The two were startled, thinking that Li Xiang was going to do something, but they found that he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know where the underground world of Area C is?" ”
Chen Hong and Mina looked at each other.
The underworld? In their two-point-and-one-line world, this is a word that has never been seen before.
"It's okay, I'll find it myself." Li Xiang knew that this matter could not be helped by the two little girls, and the first thing that came to his mind was the bright white teeth of the little black captain Calis.
With an old fritter like Calis, it is estimated that there is nothing in Area C that he does not know.
"Li Xiang, you really don't plan to stay in Shenguang?"
In the basement of the Shenguang Club, in the face of Li Xiang's inquiry, Calis was regretful and reluctant. Although it was only a few days of contact, he had a straightforward personality, but he had a great impression of Li Xiang.
It is not an easy thing for a person to be strong and still be measured.
He naturally knew what happened today, but he felt that it was a pity that Li Xiang didn't stay in the Shenguang Group.
When he was in the Li family, the sentence "there may be nine realms" was a small thought of Calis, hoping that the Li family could attach importance to this talent.
But what he didn't expect was that it turned out to be like this.
Seeing that Li Xiang didn't want to go back, Calis sighed helplessly. "Four kilometers to the west, there's an old-fashioned tavern called 'Lost Memory', you go to the front desk, give the little bartender a tip, after giving her a hundred yuan tip, he will ask you what you want to drink, you just tell her, but before that you have to know the people inside, you can't get in without an acquaintance."
"Got it." Li Xiang bowed his hand to express his gratitude, and suddenly remembered that the hundred yuan that Mina gave him did not bring with him, so he said, "Can you lend me a hundred first?" ”
Calis was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took out a few 100 banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Xiang.
Li Xiang drew one and put the others down. "One is enough."
Looking at Li Xiang's back stepping out of the door, Calis suddenly thought of something and reminded: "If there is no acquaintance, you can report the name of the second young master, he is a frequent visitor there." Li'anbang, the Anbang of governing the country and the country, remembered ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the figure had disappeared.
