Chapter 188: Lighters

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Talisman Bodyguard!

After Jiang Xueqing left, the smile on Lu Xiaqiao's face gradually disappeared.

In only two months, Jiang Xueqing's research and development will be completed.

When the time comes, the new drug will be launched, and the company will need a large amount of capital investment to open up the market for the new drug.

This means that a lot of money is needed.

But.

Now on the account books of the finance department of Qingxia Pharmaceutical, the salaries of the employees can only be paid this month at most.

If Lu Xia has not found a suitable investor in the next month, then even if Jiang Xueqing develops a new drug, it will be difficult to move an inch.

Lu Xia was under a lot of pressure.

We must not let down Xue Qing's efforts. She thought to herself.

Knock knock.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door.

Lu Xia glanced up at the office door, and just wanted to get up and return to the desk, when suddenly the door opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

"I didn't answer, who let you in?" Lu Xia sank her pretty face and hummed pretending to be displeased.

Shen Lei walked straight to the sofa, bent down to pick up the lighter on the table, and pouted: "I accidentally fell here yesterday, and I searched for it for a long time, but fortunately I didn't lose it." ”

"Just a lighter, and look how nervous you are." Lu Xia said angrily.

"You know, it's a treasure, it's worth a fortune." Shen Lei played with the lighter in his hand and snorted.

"I don't believe it, a lighter can still be worth a fortune? Blow it all. Lu Xia said speechlessly.

Although she said that, Lu Xia couldn't help but take a second look at the small metal object in Shen Lei's hand. This lighter is black throughout, without any fancy lines, and has a very simple style.

"That's the same thing, it's unremarkable." Lu Xia stretched out a hand, "Bring it, show me." ”

"That's not going to work, this thing is very dangerous, if you're not careful, it will kill someone." Shen Lei said very cautiously.

Lu Xia pouted and said, "Who are you scaring about!" What's the danger, just now my best friend Xueqing was here, so I took your lighter and put it in my hand, why didn't anything happen? ”

Shen Lei sighed, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was extremely nervous.

He wasn't lying.

This lighter is probably the most dangerous item he has on his body at the moment.

Because it's a compression bomb.

There is nothing wrong with the original structure of the lighter, but as soon as you lift the pump cover, you will find a small red needle-like object.

As soon as you press it, the red needle will pop out, revealing something truly terrifying.

A switch.

Press it down and it will detonate the lighter.

The power of the compression bomb is very terrifying, and the weight of such a small lighter is not too extraordinary.

But once it is detonated, the power caused is ......

Not to mention anything else, this Qingxia Mansion is estimated to be melted in an instant.

Not kidding, really.

This small lighter was a small pendant given to him by his companion 'ammunition expert'.

At the beginning, Shen Lei only used it as a gadget and didn't pay much attention to it.

After the Atlantic incident, the ammunition expert, like other companions, left this world, and the lighter he gave to Shen Lei has become a legacy left in this world.

When he decided to leave the world stage, Shen Lei didn't plan to take anything with him.

Halfway through, Shen Lei was really reluctant to think about it, so he returned to his residence, took the lighter, and stayed by his side.

Unexpectedly, an oversight almost made a big mistake.

Although the ammunition experts have made the detonation mechanism very sophisticated and complex, if the lighter is not directly dismantled, ordinary people will not be able to find the location of the switch at all.

Shen Lei also knew that Jiang Xueqing was holding a lighter, and it was estimated that at most, he would light a fire and play with it, and he would not get too many other things.

But this nervous mood is unreasonable and uncontrollable.

As long as there is a little risk around Jiang Xueqing, Shen Lei can't help but think about it.

took out a cigarette and lit it, Shen Lei seemed to put away the lighter casually, and said lightly: "It's better not to touch something that is too dangerous, sometimes curiosity will kill many people." ”

"Stingy, if you don't look at it, you won't watch it." Lu Xia snorted.

Shen Lei laughed, waved his hand, and was about to leave the office.

"Eh, you wait." Lu Xia stopped him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to leave Sister Jiaqi there?" ”

Shen Lei glanced back at her, not knowing what to say for a while.

After they left, what happened to Li Jiaqi later, Shen Lei could see it clearly through the electric eyes left in the manor.

Li Jiaqi died, and died a miserable and undignified death.

But she's just looking for death.

Li Jiaqi is a person who has not clearly defined her situation and position at all, with a character like her, she has outstanding ability, but her emotional intelligence is negative, and the gangsters are dead.

But how could Shen Lei tell Lu Xia truthfully about this kind of thing?

Although the two of them fell out, after years of emotional accumulation, Lu Xia definitely couldn't accept the fact that Li Jiaqi was dead.

And there is a high probability that Lu Xia will blame herself for guilt.

She would feel that she should not drive away from Li Jiaqi's Maserati car, which caused Li Jiaqi to be unable to leave and eventually died tragically.

But.

Shen Lei saw very clearly that Li Jiaqi did not choose to leave at all.

She held Zeng Cankun's body and stayed in the manor, and finally died of ridiculing others' shortcomings because of a conflict with Mao Da.

Even if Lu Xia hadn't driven away the Maserati, Li Jiaqi would still have died.

Character determines fate, and this is her fate.

It's a pity that not everyone can see the full truth of the matter like Shen Lei.

Li Jiaqi's actual identity is a member of the Condor Gang, and her spirit body is still parked in the funeral home.

Regarding the news of her and Zeng Cankun's deaths, the Condor Gang did not publicize it, after all, it was a very humiliating thing.

And Lu Xia usually doesn't pay attention to the situation of the gang at all, and there is no news channel that allows her to see the news about the death of a gang boss like Zeng Cankun.

In other words, unless Shen Lei told her, Lu Xia would not know the fact that Li Jiaqi was dead.

After thinking about it, Shen Lei decided to hide this matter, he shook his head, spread his hands and smiled: "Dear Mr. Lu, have you forgotten the true identity of your best friend?" ”

"She, she's ......" Lu Xia wanted to say and stopped.

"It is estimated that after we left, Zeng Cankun will rush back immediately, the two of them, I'm afraid they are in love in bed now." Shen Lei said with a wink.

Lu Xia blushed suddenly, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

She thought for a moment, got up and walked to the desk, and took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, "I call Sister Jiaqi's phone, but I can't get through, Maserati, should I give it back to her?" ”

"You don't have to pay it back." Shen Lei shrugged.

"Why?" Lu Xia was stunned.

"If Li Jiaqi really wants you to return the car, she will take the initiative to contact you." Shen Lei smiled.

Lu Xia snorted: "That's right." The mood suddenly brightened, and it can be regarded as a thought, if Li Jiaqi figured it out one day and took the initiative to find her, the two of them had a good chat, and they might be able to release their suspicions.

Li Jiaqi must not be allowed to go back to work in the company, but if she can, Lu Xia hopes that they can talk to each other and keep in touch.

Lu Xia just regretted it a little, yesterday in her emotional head, she said too much, I'm afraid it hurt Li Jiaqi's heart, alas, I hope she doesn't blame me, find me as soon as possible!

Looking at Lu Xia's half-happy and half-sad look, Shen Lei guessed what she was thinking, smiled silently, and turned to leave.
