355 You have to get out of the bat cave in your heart
Tony. Stark still had the shock on his face, looking at Lei Rui and then at Bruce. Wayne wanted to speak, but knew that this was not the time for him to ask.
The old butler Alfred. Pennyworth walked up lightly with the tray, gently placed the two glasses of red wine on the tray on the small table in front of the two of them, and said politely, "Mr. Leary, Mr. Stark, please!" ”
"This is the Romani of the 1978 vintage? Kanti, "Bruce. Wayne explained in a deep voice, "The flavor is quite strong, and it's worth savoring. ”
Tony. Stark sighed, unceremoniously picked up the wine glass, tasted it, nodded and praised: "Well, it's really good, why can't I buy such a good wine?" ”
Bruce. Wayne smiled faintly and replied, "This is my grandfather's collection in the cellar to keep, I just stained my grandfather's light." Captain, don't you taste it? Or do you want to change your drink? ”
Lei Rui shook his head, signaling that he didn't need to replace it, picked up the wine glass, shook it lightly in his hand, and looked at Bruce. Wayne said, "I thought you'd treat us to this ginger juice you drank!" ”
Bruce. Wayne was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as if he had heard something very funny, and said while laughing, "Captain, you are really ...... It's so much fun! ”
Tony. Stark's eyes were blazing, looking at Lei Rui, the old butler Alfred who stood behind Lei Rui. Pennyworth was once again shocked and shuddered, looking at Lei Rui's gaze, full of awe.
"Interestingly you, Mr. Wayne!" Lei Rui replied lightly, "You know that what I said is the truth, but you blindly deny it there, thinking that I am just bluffing you." What do you see when you look up? Mr. Wayne, the ceiling, and the sky, right, it's because you, as a normal human, are confined to the ground and can't see what the sky is looking up to. ”
"Can you see it? Captain? "Bruce. Wayne asked in a deep voice, obviously disapproving of Lei Rui's statement in his heart.
"Of course I can see that, Mr. Wayne," Lei Rui said lightly, "You drink ginger ale and live a life of hard discipline to maintain your physical strength and strength beyond ordinary people, this is your limit, Mr. Wayne, but you have to understand that your limit, for people like us, is only a floor, not a ceiling." ”
Bruce. Wayne didn't say anything, still looking at Lei Rui, taking a sip of ginger juice, with a "please continue your performance" expression on his face.
Lei Rui continued, "This glass of ginger of yours is treated like wine, but the smell is so bad that you can't get rid of it, and as soon as I come in, I can smell the ginger ale." Alfred's heartbeat has only eased now, and it must have been beating at 170 beats per minute! And you, the dilation and contraction of your pupils, and the rapid heartbeat of your heart when you laughed just now, are a little more intense than when I first called you Mr. Batman, because you have to be sure that I really know the secret identity of your Dark Knight Batman, but you don't know how I know, right? ”
"So, your sight, hearing, and perception are much better than those of us?" Tony. Stark asked curiously.
Lei Rui nodded and took a sip of Bruce. Wayne's recommended 1978 vintage Romani? Kanti wines, praised: "Good wine! ”
Bruce. Wayne pursed his lips, groaned, suddenly put down the glass in his hand, and asked, "Captain, tell me the purpose of your visit this time, you are here for the Morningstar Consortium's acquisition of the Merley Consortium, right?" ”
"Yes," replied Rearry, "I don't quite know what Metna and you disagree with. ”
"Don't you know what Mr. Merry's attitude is?" Bruce. Wayne asked.
Lei Rui shook his head and replied, "I didn't have time to ask him in Merry's office that day, and I didn't pay much attention to it. ”
"So what is your attitude? Captain? "Bruce. Wayne asked.
Lei Rui looked at him and said very frankly: "Mr. Wayne, this is the reason why I don't like you very much, you always hide yourself in the shadows, by all means, trying to peep into other people's thoughts and actions, and you have never wrapped yourself very tightly, so that others don't know what you think and do." My attitude? You know my attitude, what I need to know now is the purpose and motives of the Morningstar consortium in initiating this acquisition, what was promised to the Merley family, and what was the relationship between Merry and the Jewish Presbyterian Church of Zion. ”
Bruce. Wayne's face did not change at all, as if he had heard Lei Rui's words, and as if he had heard nothing, he replied: "Captain, I support Metna's opinion, and as for her opinion, you have to ask her personally, of course, if she is willing to see you." You know, Mr. Merry's death, you're the most suspicious. ”
Lei Rui smiled faintly and said: "Of course I won't go to see her, of course the reason is not what you think, it's because of Merry's death, but because that day in Merry's office, Merry entrusted his great-granddaughter to me, and I told him very frankly that my enemies are not ordinary people, and I am too close to Metena, but it will bring her unexpected dangers, so I can only protect her secretly from afar." Obviously, you're someone Metena trusts, which is why I'm here to ask you. ”
"So, that's what you're here for?" Bruce. Wayne asked again.
His attitude was obviously to end the conversation, Lei Rui shook his head slightly, and replied: "Of course, not only because of this matter, the equity of the Meili consortium, even if you agree to the acquisition of the Morningstar consortium, I will still oppose it and insist on keeping my shares." Protecting Metna's safety is a trust from Melly, and I certainly won't shirk it. As for Melly's death, I can only say that you know almost nothing about me, but you self-righteously believe what you see, trust your own logic and rational judgment, and refuse to open your heart to the opinions of others. ”
Bruce. Wayne smiled and replied, "Captain, what you said is really interesting, I don't believe what I see with my own eyes, I don't believe my own logic and rational judgment, do I want to believe what you say?" I'm sorry, Captain, but that's just your side of the story. ”
"That's your limitation, Mr. Wayne," replied Rayray, "your eyes can only see what you can see, and your logical and rational judgments are based only on your limitations and insights." Don't think that the bat cave is the whole world, Mr. Wayne, you need to climb out of that bat cave and fly into the sky to see the wider world and have a more multi-dimensional vision. ”
"But Mr. Merry died after meeting you, Captain! And you also sent him a bouquet of white chrysanthemums! "Bruce. Wayne said angrily, and his voice raised a few degrees, "You do this, do it so poorly, and have no scruples, either it shows that you are arrogant and have no scruples, or it shows that you are a well-versed guy, thinking that this can clear your suspicions!" But I don't think so, Captain! I'll find out all of this and give Mr. Merry an explanation!" ”
Lei Rui spread his hands and replied very calmly: "Then you can go and find out, Mr. Wayne, I will be happy to see the results of your investigation." As for the purpose of my visit, there is one more thing, I am going to invite you to step out of this ceiling that confines you, to see the scene above the sky, so that you can take your eyes away from the Bat Cave and the city of Gordon, and look a little higher and farther, and pay attention to the safety of this world and the survival and destiny of mankind, and now it seems that you do not want to leave your Bat Cave, so, so be it, thank you for the good wine, Mr. Wayne! ”
Bruce. Wayne watched the elevator doors slowly close, looking at Lei Rui and Tony. Stark followed the elevator downstairs, his face was gloomy, he no longer maintained the politeness just now, he stood in front of the glass curtain wall of the whole wall, looked at the gloom outside the window, his heart fluctuated, after a long time, he asked slowly: "Alfred, did I do something wrong?" ”
"Young Master," Alfred. Pennyworth replied behind him, his voice full of vicissitudes, "Captain Rayray is right, it's time for you to get out of that batcave in your heart!" ”
