Chapter 178: Distance (I)
"Okay." Du Pont raised his eyebrows, still resuming his status as the sheriff of the city-state, and said to Vito: "Inform Lennon and Jason, let them accompany you, prepare immediately, and I will leave immediately." Then he turned his face to look at his wife and said, "You can help me take care of it here, and call me if I have something." When he said this, his gaze seemed meaningful.
Guan Li obviously understood what he meant, sneered in his heart, and nodded as usual: "You don't have to worry, I will arrange it." This is a pun, Du Pong must understand, in fact, it is all about leaving the matter of a word, but he has to behave more freely in front of outsiders.
Du Pong is gone, although he has spoken as a boss and with the identity of his wife, but he still can't hide the worry between his eyebrows, he doesn't want to lose his prominent status as the highest sheriff of the city-state, and this is also the basis for his promotion, and it has always forced this beautiful boss with the identity of his wife to condescend, although his identity was specially tailored for him by the Knights of the Temple before he was selected as a quasi-knight of the temple, in order to control the supreme power of the city-state of Donghu and control this large city-stateto charge up for the Knights Templar. Although he was worried, and he didn't know what charges the guys from the Jinghua City Police Liaison Department had listed for him and what kind of pit he wanted to drag himself into, today's award gave him enough confidence to believe that the great protectors of the Dharma Protector Group would never turn a blind eye.
Looking at the back of Du Peng's departure, she was not only worried about these things, but also anxious about the results of the investigation of the case in the past two days, the development of the case far exceeded her expectations, and she even regretted that she rashly agreed to Du Peng's decision to get rid of the left disciple, if the left disciple was still there, these things would be investigated by him, and he could always give herself a satisfactory result. And a series of confusing events during this period of time made her anxious and stumbling.
It was in this situation that she contacted the Protector of the Shrine yesterday, but the Protector of the Warrior Movement was not connected, which is a rare phenomenon, as the Protector of the Knights of the Templars, she maintained close contact with her subordinates, listened to their reports, fully grasped all the dynamics below, and was able to make decisions by herself, and gave a timely disposal plan, and those beyond her authority were handed over to the Protector of the Protector for collective ruling, which was a positive means to maintain their power and majesty, So what happened to the Guardian of the Ming Dynasty expressed his inner dissatisfaction in this way, because in the admonition that was delivered to her with the Yuehua Knight Uniform and the Black Wooden Box of the Yuehua Medal, there was not a single mention of himself, as if all this had nothing to do with her, and this sense of loss made her unsettled and uneasy until now.
She frowned, raised her head lightly, Huo Ran found that there was still a person standing in front of her, it was Vito who had just gone to the outside to convey the password to turn back, he looked at Guan Li with worry in his eyes, Guan Li was shocked, but he was not in a hurry and did not encounter the situation that Ming Protector did not answer his phone, which made her heart more and more uneasy, I didn't know if I was up, and asked lightly: "What, is my face ugly!" You look at me like that. ”
Vito didn't deny it either, nodding slightly. He has been transferred to Guan Li's side, although the time is not long, but he has experienced life and death moments together several times, human nature is born with a soft side, even if it is a synthetic person, as long as he has human nature and emotions, he will remember such an experience deeply, and he will cherish the people who have experienced it together, at this point, there is no difference between synthetic people and natural people, plus Guan Li is a beautiful woman, although Vito clearly knows that she is full of ruthlessness and determination in her bones, and she is a human being who is many times stronger than herself, There is still a concern for her, which should stem from the nature of men to protect women.
A kind of anger suddenly rose in Guan Li's heart, he was a moon knight and a stealth supervisor of the Donghu city-state, when did he need a synthesizer to cast a sympathetic and concerned gaze at him, this was simply a great mockery, Guan Li sneered: "What! Don't you think I'm embarrassed and ridiculous right now," she suddenly raised her tone and yelled at Vito, "It's not your turn to laugh at me and sympathize with me at any time, you're just an artificial creature, you don't have the qualifications." ”
This is obviously annoyed and angry, and it is an internal disharmony caused by anxiety and mania, but it came suddenly, making people completely unprepared psychologically, which made Vito stunned, surprised, and also angry, but at this time, Vito was completely capable of controlling his emotions after activating the brain stem program twice, he suppressed the tumbling of his inner breath, and his tone was calm, not destructive, but it was obvious that people could feel a distance and said: "No, madam, I didn't laugh at you, it's you who are too sensitive." I think it may be that I disturbed your mood, so I'll go out and tell me anything. With that, Vito turned and walked out the door.
Vito's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, although his heart was angry, and the shame of being ridiculed as an artificial creature made his hands and feet tremble, and his already fragile outlook on life shook like an earthquake, and he almost collapsed at this moment.
But his attitude made Guan Li suddenly alert, his keen eyes detected the abnormal reaction of the synthetic body in front of her, she immediately realized her impulse, although she never felt sorry for the synth, but the synth in front of him was a little different, he was his personal retinue, although he was just a synth, but it was very different from those other synths, first of all, he was shrewd and capable, and used his cleverness at a critical moment to make them desperate, and secondly, he was on the island bomb (sensitive words, In the future, all the following will be dealt with in this way,) Saved his life in the attack, until now, he has not officially said thank you, and he has treated it with abuse and insults, his words and attitude just now obviously hurt this subordinate, if he can't redeem it in time, he may not be able to gain his loyalty.
Just as Vito was about to open the door and leave, Guan Li hurriedly shouted: "Wait," Vito froze, and Guan Li continued to say: "I'm sorry, Vito, yes, I'm too anxious, I sincerely apologize for what I just said, please don't go, let's talk." ”
In terms of the title just now, it was Vito who was used, which was done on purpose, apparently because she had just ridiculed Vito as an artificial creature as a kind of remorse, and calling him Vito at this time was an honorific title. Vito's body stiffened, but he still stopped, although there was a thousand reluctances in his heart, but reason still told him that it was okay for his current self to properly express some dissatisfaction, but he could not clash head-on with these people who could decide his fate, so he still needed to rely on these powerful people and grow up under their protection.
He turned around calmly and said in a very formal manner, "Yes, ma'am, if you need it." This attitude of his is actually a kind of distance.
