Chapter 20: Ling Yi's Merchant Talent
Her pale cheeks were covered with cold sweat, and she clutched her phone tightly to her chest. The driver's rough and dissatisfied voice seemed to gradually fade away, and the violent rise and fall of his chest showed the great mood fluctuations, but looking at his appearance as if he was prostration, and then looking at the angry expression of the driver standing in front of him, it was not difficult to guess what had just happened.
Jian Tongyan was almost hit by a car at night because of a mobile phone that was lost on the road.
"Really, be careful next time." As if realizing that she didn't take her words seriously at all, the driver forced his anger and coldly dropped a sentence and drove away.
His idea was correct, and he was strongly frightened and rejoiced for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and his consciousness was in a daze and he didn't react, and he didn't even know when the driver left.
Coming back to his senses and quickly understanding his situation, Jian Tong Yanye took a deep breath and reluctantly got up from the ground, and carefully put the phone in his pocket, if what the servant said was true, then there would be a call soon, he just had to wait.
Wait a minute, Sakura, Uncle will take you home right away.
Jian Tong Yan gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain that kept coming from his body, and it seemed that his previous actions had also stimulated the insects.
Damn don't mess with this critical time.
Suddenly, the pockets began to vibrate, and the unpleasant bell rang out at an inopportune time.
Jian Tong Yanye's face changed and he reacted quickly, and regardless of the sharp pain like a burst blood vessel, he immediately took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button.
"Ah, hello, Yan Yejun."
The other party was the first to speak, and it was a fairly gentle male voice, who didn't sound very old.
Looks like that's right.
Jian Tong Yanye pursed her lips and thought.
"You took Sakura away?"
Just in case you double-check, the other party should not be lying.
"It's me. You can call me Velvett, or Mr. Lancer's Master, whatever you want. But I guess that's not what you're more concerned about. ”
Listening to this smiling and gentle voice, Jian Tong Yanye can fully imagine the other party's leisurely posture.
actually revealed his identity and name so easily, does that mean he already has a lot of confidence?
"Tell me, where is Sakura?"
"If you want to see her, go straight for a hundred meters and turn right, I'll be waiting for you at a cake shop, you only have three minutes."
With that, the phone was hung up.
Although the other party did not clearly say what would happen if it didn't arrive in three minutes, Jian Tong Yanye didn't have any intention of trying, and ran regardless of the eyes of pedestrians as soon as he hung up the phone.
Walk straight for 100 meters and turn right.
Cake shop
Fortunately, there are not many cake shops on this street, and only one comes into sight to be exact.
Jian Tong Yanye took a few breaths, calmed down, pushed open the door and walked in.
The layout of the store is very simple, basically white, the smell of cream wafts in the air, there are only a dozen tables, and even if someone comes to buy the cake at this time, there are few customers who eat it directly, so he can see it at a glance.
In the corner by the window, the black-haired boy tasted a cup of steaming milk tea quietly, and it wasn't until he sat down at night that he raised his eyes and smiled, "What do you want to eat?" The strawberry cake at this shop tastes quite good, but I recommend the chocolate flavor, which is sweet and bitter, and it feels inexplicably safe. ”
"Where's Sakura?"
Jian Tong Yanye asked coldly, and his expressionless pale face looked like a dead man.
"Well, miss, I'm sorry to bring this gentleman a glass of ice water first."
Ling Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and greeted the waiter who was not far away.
The waiter was startled when he heard this.
"Wait, sir, do you want ice water?"
Her expression was like a ghost, you must know that it is a cold day now, not to mention ice water, even tap water is enough to cool her heart.
"That's right, I'm sorry for you. If you don't have ice, bring the water and I'll do it myself. ”
Ling Yi directly made his words clear, and his tone was unquestionable.
The waiter waited for a full ten seconds before he reacted and went to serve water.
"Sir, this is the water you want."
Soon, the water was served, and sure enough, it was ordinary boiling water, without ice.
It's a matter of course that ice needs to be stored, and no store will store ice in this kind of weather.
"Hmm."
Ling Yi replied lightly and took a sip of milk tea to himself.
The waitress looked at him, hesitated, and walked away, though she was curious about how the guest was going to add cold boiled water, but her instinct told her that it was better not to care.
After the waiter left, Ling Yi picked up the cup of boiling water, and when he said that he picked it up, he only held it, but the next moment there was a sizzling and condensing sound, but there was no sign of freezing of the water.
"I think you need to calm down." With that, he pushed the cup in front of the wild goose.
“”
The meaning is very clear, you can't drink it.
Jian Tong Yanye frowned, stared at Ling Yi coldly for a while, picked up the cup of ice water that had just been attacked, and drank it all. Ling Yi clearly saw that his body trembled, and his face suddenly turned blue.
"How? Do you recognize that we have different positions? ”
Ling Yi said in a rare and indifferent tone.
Generally speaking, he rarely speaks in this tone, but when he does, it means - no matter what, now he counts.
"What is your purpose?"
Jian Tongyan, who had just drunk a glass of ice water, was so cold that her lips turned purple at night, but she still asked unrelentingly.
"Well, that old guy didn't tell you, what a poor fellow, from beginning to end he was a pawn with no human rights at all." Having said that, Ling Yi's expression did not show any pity and sympathy, as if he was simply telling a fact.
"What do you mean? You mean, what is there hiding from me? ”
If that's the case, then a lot of questions can be answered.
Jian Tong Yanye couldn't help but clench his fists, as if he was struggling to endure something, and it was not difficult to guess from his eyes how angry he was at the moment.
The next news that Ling Yi said was indeed as he expected.
"That old guy sold Sakura to me, and to put it bluntly, he was skeptical of your abilities, so he put all his bets on me, expecting me to snatch the Holy Grail and give it to him."
But he would never have guessed that he wanted to ask for the sage, rather than coercing the night of the Berserker to hand over Berserker's easement.
Sometimes, different tactics can be used together.
Rigidity is never the case with a tactical student.
Because that's the equivalent of letting a science genius study liberal arts, it's just as pointless.
"So, let's make a deal too, Yan Yejun."
The corners of Ling Yi's mouth flashed with a harmless smile.
(There is a change in the evening, please collect!) )
