"This lady, you misunderstood." Lu Ling hooked her lips and smiled, and quietly withdrew her hand from her palm, intuition that this woman must not be simple.

Her doubts deepened, and she was eager to get an answer from Byron.

Fortunately, the woman just wanted to tease Lu Ling, so she didn't continue to embarrass Lu Ling, and left directly after drinking coffee.

Finally waited for the end of work, and Lu Ling had the opportunity to stand side by side with Byron: "What kind of place is this?" You're not going to take me into the bandits' den, are you? ”

"Stinky girl! There are a lot of concerns, but in fact, those people are retired killers and mercenaries, and their personalities are naturally more flamboyant.

Hearing Byron say this, Lu Ling immediately looked at Byron with admiration.

"I didn't think you could find such a good place? Those who can retire from mercenaries and killers will definitely be very powerful, and who would dare to go wild with us in this case? ”

"Come on, don't be a sycophant, I found this place for my own purposes, but I think we should hire a few people to help with this coffee shop."

"Okay, then I can spend more time training." Thinking of the new training equipment that Byron had configured for himself in the attic, Lu Ling was eager to try.

"You are not allowed to go to the attic when there are guests, and there will be people coming after making such a big move?" Byron didn't even think about it, just a sentence that directly denied Lu Ling's idea.

"Okay......" Although Lu Ling was a little unhappy in her heart, she knew that what Byron said was the truth, so she had to respond.

After a few days, it was quite leisurely, although Byron had not hired other clerks, but through these hours of contact, Lu Ling gradually became familiar with the people here.

After all, these people are their predecessors, and contact with them will increase a lot of knowledge, so Lu Ling can be regarded as having fun.

One afternoon a few days later.

"Ouch, this is a nice place!" A soft female voice suddenly appeared in the café.

"We're off work, and we're going to have coffee and we'll be back tomorrow." Lu Lingmu blushed and spoke unhappily.

Eliza, who was walking at the door, paused slightly, and looked at Lu Ling with some puzzlement, this little girl seemed to be a little unwelcoming to herself, could it be ......

However, this thought only flashed in her mind, and soon she dispelled this thought, twisted her slender waist, and came to Lu Ling with a full demeanor: "Little sister, it's only been a few days?" You don't know me? I'm your brother's best friend! ”

After saying that, Eliza also threw a wink at Lu Ling.

"What's the matter with my brother's friends?" Lu Ling rolled her eyes, and her speech was still not salty.

"Why is it none of your business? If I marry your brother, you're going to call me sister-in-law!" Eliza directly ignored Lu Ling's attitude, made herself a cup of coffee, and took a sip with great satisfaction.

Facing this faceless and skinless woman, Lu Ling was speechless, and walked directly to the corner of the coffee shop, concentrating on studying the battle strategy that Byron brought back to her a few days ago.

Knowing that no matter how she behaved, this little girl would not like herself, Eliza simply stopped talking and quietly waited for Byron to return.

"How did you find here?" As soon as Byron returned from outside, he noticed Eliza's presence, his hands in his trouser pockets, smiling and asking.

"You're the man I love the most, and I can find you wherever you go." As she spoke, Eliza had already pounced on Byron, her delicate face full of love.

In the face of Eliza's sudden movements, Byron did not react much, and still had a shallow smile on his face.

The air became ambiguous at this moment, Lu Ling pursed her lips, she didn't want to stay here for a long time, she just glanced at Byron meaningfully and went out directly, to the bookstore next door.

After entering the bookstore, Lu Ling wandered in front of the bookshelves one by one, but she couldn't choose the books she wanted for a long time.

"Girl, since you don't have the book you read, why don't you come here and sit for a while." The uncle of the bookstore squinted his eyes and smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him and greeted.

Lu Ling was not polite, walked directly to the sofa and sat down, and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"Thanks for what? People are old and useless, so I look forward to someone coming to chat with me, thinking that back then, I was ......" When it came to the past time, the uncle couldn't help but roll up his sleeves, and the expression on his face was excited.

Lu Ling heard Byron say that this uncle was a mercenary before, and he used to be a powerful figure in the mercenary world, so she couldn't help but open her mouth curiously: "Uncle, tell me more about your past!" ”

"After getting along for so long, I am very optimistic about you, a little girl, you have such achievements in fists and feet at a young age, it is estimated that you will have a lot of room for development in the future, since this is the case, I will tell you about my past."

From the first time he saw Lu Ling, the uncle decided that it would be very difficult for her to be in the future, and thought that telling her about her past experience would also allow her to learn from it to a certain extent.

"Then tell me about it!" Lu Ling saw that the uncle agreed to his request so quickly, and his small and delicate face was excited.

The uncle took a sip of tea and began his long memories.

"When I was young, my family was poor, and my parents were working in other places, so they handed me over to my grandmother to take care of, but my grandmother had to be busy with the crops in the field, so she didn't have time to take care of me, and I was naughty by nature, and I always liked to run around.

"And how did you escape?" Since the uncle can become a mercenary, he will definitely not be held hostage by human traffickers all the time, so Lu Ling asked curiously.

"I can't remember the specifics, but I remember that it was one night, a man suddenly rushed into the small black room and rescued me from being tortured." Maybe that memory was too painful, and the uncle kept frowning during the narration.

Lu Ling just held her cheeks and waited for the uncle to tell what happened later.

"Because I was young, I couldn't even find my home later, so I recognized the person who saved me as my godfather, and my godfather trained me to be a mercenary, and in the next few years, in addition to training, I took on tasks."

Speaking of his mercenary career, the uncle's face was quiet.

"Uncle, did you have any unforgettable experiences when you were a mercenary?"

In Lu Ling's opinion, mercenaries are in danger when performing tasks, and there will always be some things that are thrilling.

It is precisely that passionate feeling that she is pursuing.

"Don't say it's true!" The uncle's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said to himself: "You see that my injury was left at that time." ”

As he spoke, the uncle lifted up the wide shirt on his body, and a wound of about 20 centimeters appeared in front of Lu Ling's eyes.

It seems that this wound has been around for some years, but now it still looks hideous, which makes Lu Ling even more curious: "What is the big deal that can make someone as powerful as Uncle be injured like this?" ”

The uncle waved his hand a little embarrassedly, and then continued his description: "I dare not do it, it happened about five or six years ago, when I was about to wash my hands in the golden basin, but I was attracted by a task that caused a sensation in the mercenary world. ”

Hearing the uncle's description, Lu Ling couldn't help but remember that when she was picked up by Byron, wasn't it five or six years ago?

In this way, Lu Ling was even more interested in the task that the uncle said: "What kind of task is that?" ”

"At that time, more than half of the people in the entire mercenary world took that task, but it was canceled halfway through the mission, but the owner still paid the commission, I remember that the target at that time was a weapon research expert in Huaguo, and you have the same surname, his name is Lu Ran!"

Although after so many years, the uncle still remembers that incident vividly, and even remembers the name of the person clearly.

When Lu Ling heard this name, she was shocked.

Lu Ran, isn't that her father's name? And her dad was also an expert in weapons research.

All of this can only show that the person the uncle said is his father.

Although there were many thoughts in his heart, Lu Ling still pretended to be casual and said: "Does the uncle know what happened to that weapon expert?" How can you cancel a mission in the middle of it? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but it is said that he disappeared to protect his wife and daughter, do you say that he can escape after being chased and killed by so many people? Nine times out of ten, you have been caught! ”

The uncle has been a mercenary for so long, and there are not a few people who have died at his hands, so he doesn't care about the life or death of this man he has never met.

But for Lu Ling, his words set off a thousand waves in her heart.

Although her memory of her father has become blurred, she has missed her father and mother every moment of these years, and now she knows that they may encounter misfortune, Lu Ling only feels heartache.

Later, Lu Ling didn't listen to what the uncle said, but returned to the coffee shop in despair.

When Lu Ling returned, Eliza had already left, but she didn't notice it at all, and still walked forward absentmindedly, not even knocking down the stool in the store.

"What's wrong with you? It's just that after going out for a while, how can it be the same as losing your soul? Byron grabbed Lu Ling's shoulder and asked with great concern.

Lu Ling shook her head and didn't speak, her face was still blank.

Seeing Lu Ling like this, Byron became even more anxious, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you stimulated by something?" What did someone say to you? Tell me something, I can take care of it with you! ”
