Seventy and eighteen floors
Lu Jia was sending WeChat messages to Wu Xing in the bedroom when she heard someone talking in the living room. She wondered how anyone could come so late. I pushed open the door and was about to go out to see, and walked to the bedroom door barefoot, feeling that the voice was a little familiar, and I didn't remember who it was after thinking about it for a long time.
"Mr. Jiang, money is not a problem, as long as you can help me find someone."
"Young Master, it's not that someone Jiang won't help you find it, it's that the princess of your family won't come back. And she had to be mixed with the Cult of the Last Dharma. The Cult of the End of the Dharma may not have investigated, right? Did you find any signs? β
"Nope. It was only found that it was a mysterious organization, and the people in it were all extraordinary. β
"That's right. As you said, the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tigers are all extraordinary. I can't afford to mess with it. β
"Mr. Jiang, as I said, money is not an issue. As far as I know, you still care a little bit about money. You are still unmarried, and I heard that you treat your only disciple as your own daughter, so you have been saving for this adopted daughter, for fear that she will be wronged in the future. β
"Young Master, have you checked my background very carefully? But it's normal, with the financial resources of the Long family, who does it mean to find out who is not just a word? β
"Don't blame Mr. Jiang, Su Guang didn't mean to offend. Not only was I entrusted by the Long family to come to look for someone, Qiqi is also my fiancΓ©e. In the past few days since Qiqi disappeared, her Anwei has really made it difficult for me to sleep. And she has been inseparable from your adopted daughter before, please understand that Suguang cares a little. Now it seems that Tracing Light is indeed redundant. β
"Understood, very understanding. It's understandable and useless, I can't help if the child of the Long family doesn't come back by himself. β
"Mr. Jiang is really a big man, thank you for not caring about the unintentional offense of the juniors. Since the last time you told me that Qiqi appeared in the Sect of the End of the Law Divine Sect but did not want to come back, and Miss Lu was seriously injured because of this, Su Guang felt guilty. Later, he has been secretly looking for Qiqi, but he has not seen half a trace. Today, I came to harass again, and it was helpless to trace the light. β
Lu Jia understood the content of the conversation between the two, and Qiqi's fiancΓ© traced back to find his wife. She remembered that she had indeed promised someone to help find Long Qiqi before, and later she was pushed into the turbulence of time and space by Mora on the altar of the Sect of the Last Law. When I got back, I forgot about it.
Later, she met Xiao Duo again, and there were a series of things, plus she hadn't seen this person for a long time, so she had long forgotten about the person who had passed the light to the clouds. Now I hear this person claiming to be Suguang, and it was Qiqi's fiancΓ© who remembered this person. No wonder he hasn't appeared, it turns out that he has been secretly looking for Qiqi.
"Mr. Jiang, as long as I can bring Qiqi back, I can call the shots and pay 20 million commissions to find someone. If Mr. Jiang agrees, I am now making a quarter of the down payment. Please do not shirk Mr. Jiang. β
"I can't help it. That organization is too mysterious, I can't really mess with a small self-employed person, and Ultraman Batman has nothing to do with me. I'm a forty-year-old man, and I'm still counting on a few days of peace. β
"Mr. Jiang, Long Qiqi and Ling Yan are close friends, if Long Qiqi really has an accident on your territory, I'm afraid Ling Yan will also be sad. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. If Mr. Jiang doesn't save him when he sees death, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get over this hurdle in your heart in the future. Mr. Jiang, this 5 million check is a down payment as a reward, I hope you can change your mind and say goodbye."
When Su Guang left, he took a deep look at the position of Lu Jia's door. Lu Jia found that Su Guang seemed to know that she was behind the door, and he felt a chill down his spine for a moment.
After Suguang went out, Lu Jia walked out barefoot and asked the master, "Why is he here?" β
"What's coming? I didn't come to find your classmate yet. You say this kid, why did he run away from home if he had nothing to do? There is no shortage of anything in the family, how old are you still playing and running away from home? β
Lu Jia saw that the master was complaining, and knew that at this time, he should choose to shut up wisely. So he peeled an orange and stuffed it into the master's mouth: "Master, speaking of which, Qiqi hasn't been found yet." β
"What? I'm not going to take this job. Master, I want to live a few more years. Is it easy for me to be a forty-year-old? β
"Master, he is right in one sentence, if something happens to Qiqi, I will be really sad."
"You're going to get me in trouble with this old bone." Jiang Hao stuffed oranges in his mouth and said vaguely.
"Then master, do you agree? In this case, I think you can take the five million first. If you don't want to return it to them. β
"When did you become so wealthy?"
"It's not like you, Brother Hao?"
......
Jiang Hao accepted the commission of Suguang to continue to collect the news of Long Qiqi, but Long Qiqi disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
Jiang Hao and Lu Jia were also busy with their own work, and by the time she finished telling Wu Xing the story of Yue Jia she saw in her dream, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. It's just that she didn't say the name of the person in the story, only said that she was a remnant of the ancient Yue Kingdom and a disciple of the alchemist of the Qin Dynasty Palace.
Lu Jia has a problem, that is, if she doesn't sleep at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, she is prone to insomnia. When she wasn't ready to go to bed, she found that it was already midnight, and there was an alarm clock in her head reminding her: "It's past midnight, and you're losing sleep again." β
Lu Jia had insomnia.
It doesn't matter if she has insomnia, she's still hungry.
The hungry girl likes to eat canned food, which is a habit left by her when she was a child, when she has a cold and fever and has no appetite, the master feels sorry for her and buys canned food to feed her, the sugar water is yellow and peach-flavored. So much so that until now, the first thing she thinks of when she is hungry at night is to eat canned yellow peaches.
Thinking of this, she got dressed and sneaked out of the living room, intending to go downstairs and wait for the twenty-four hour supermarket to buy something to eat.
The elevator came down from above, and there was a person standing with his back to her, with no face in sight. She was a little uncomfortable to see the man's back, but the smell of the canned food still echoed in her memory.
She regretted closing the door.
The person in the elevator slowly turned around, his eyes staring straight at her.
The man's face was pale, whiter than the freshly scraped white on the wall. She lowered her head and rolled her eyes up, just enough to see Lu Jia.
"Girl, are you going to the eighteenth floor?"
Lu Jia remembered what Wu Xing said: Be careful when taking the elevator these days. She really wanted to give herself a slap in the face. Why are you so careless, come out in the middle of the night to buy canned food, what elevator to take?
She pretended not to hear or see, hoping that the other party would not know that she could see it. Seeing that she didn't react, the "person" asked again, "Girl, are you going to the eighteenth floor?" β
The voice is a person, no, a ghost. Ghosts, to be exact.
Eighteen floors.
