The Catastrophe Descends Chapter Seventy-Four: The Drinking Party, the Interweaving of Power
"Are you awake?" Lin Zihan looked at Wei Mengying, whose fingers trembled slightly, leaned down gently, and said in Wei Mengying's ear.
Wei Mengying, who was in a haze, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling with her eyes wistful, and looked at the gorgeous decoration, stunned. Wei Mengying, who woke up, neither questioned why she appeared here, nor was she surprised by Lin Zihan who appeared in front of her.
He just moved his body in disgust and even hatred, and clasped his hands around him, as if he was afraid that Lin Zihan would do something unfavorable to him.
"Why are you here?" Wei Mengying's tone was not like an inquiry, but more like a question, and there was anger and hostility towards Lin Zihan in her tone.
Feeling Wei Mengying's sudden indifference and even hatred, the corners of Lin Zihan's mouth twitched slightly, and he squeezed out a smirk.
"Joey, you take care of him, I'll go out for a while." Lin Zihan stood up straight, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, he was going to attend Yuan Tinghuan's drinking party tonight, and he didn't know what medicine was hidden in his gourd.
But Lin Zihan knew that before Wei Mengying recovered from her injuries and left here safely, he must not go out of his way, not to mention that he had to wait for Xu Miao to give himself an answer.
"Why are you going?" Xu Qiaoyi, who was originally sitting on the sofa and was about to fall asleep, looked at Wei Mengying who woke up, and was so excited that she was completely sleepy.
"I'm going to a reception hosted by Mayor Emgrand." Lin Zihan just left a back, and didn't remember Wei Mengying's face, the face he dreamed of seeing again, "Remember, don't just go out of the door of this room, Sister Xin will take care of you." ”
Lin Zihan, who walked out of the room, was relieved to see that the smell of gunpowder between Lu Xin and Lu Fu had dissipated.
"Sister Xin, you take care of the two of them, I'll go." Lin Zihan said lightly, the tone was like an order, like a pleading, more like worry and worry.
"Wei Mengying woke up?" Seeing Lin Zihan nodded, Lu Fu was about to rush into the room, "I'm going to take her away, and Emgrand will give her the best medical conditions." ”
"Impossible!" Lin Zihan, who was originally depressed and tired, took the first step in front of Lu Fu, "No one can take them away, now they have to be here, after your Emgrand has dealt with the mess, I will consider whether to let them go back." ”
Originally, his eyes were full of tired Lin Zihan, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the originally slightly depressed aura was suddenly swept away, and the whole person was like an iron wall blocking Lu Fu's body, not moving at all.
"Sister Xin, I'll go first," Seeing that Lu Fu was not trying to cross him and broke into the room, Lin Zihan also left his last sentence, walked out of the door in a chic manner, with a happy smile on his face, and under the protection of the security bureau agents, he got into the car sent by the government.
"Advisor Jia, let's go." Yan Bing sat in the car, looked at Lin Zihan who came in from the back door, and said a little indifferently, his eyes only glanced at Lin Zihan through the rearview mirror, and then looked ahead.
"......" Lin Zihan didn't reply, he closed his eyes when he got into the car, nodded slightly, and responded to it.
Lin Zihan, who closed his eyes, felt the vehicle start slowly, and also fell into his own thoughts, in this huge business car, no one dared to disturb Lin Zihan, so he could also take advantage of the time on the road to take a good rest, and recall why Wei Mengying's attitude was suddenly full of hostility towards him.
"Maybe everyone cares about identity." Lin Zihan thought that as a dragon man, he knew that his bloodline was noble and pure, and in the wanted warrant announced by the United Army, he was an alien mixed with subspecies, a killing god who would kill at any time, and a monster......
Lin Zihan once thought that maybe he knew that he was a genetic person created by dragon blood, and those people around him would leave him, but Lin Zihan didn't expect that Sister Xin and them were still willing to be with him.
Although some people don't care about their identity, dragonmen, subspecies, monsters, and god-killing ...... These labels are all attached to Lin Zihan and can never be waved away.
……
I don't know how long the time has passed, Lin Zihan felt that he was tired and didn't want to think about these things anymore, so he had already leaned on the comfortable seat and squinted for a while.
"Here we go, Advisor Jia." Yan Bing used an absolutely official voice that was not mixed with any emotion, and woke Lin Zihan up from his deep thinking stare in a daze.
Looking at the sky outside the window, the sky has darkened, the night of the southern capital city is still a bright and green, drunk and gold-obsessed atmosphere, you can also see luxury cars driving by on the street, at the door of the hotel, in addition to the security personnel guarding the guards, there are also dignitaries with female companions, the rich look is like a fat pig, with a layer of greasy fat on the face.
"This is the second time I've attended a cocktail party at a hotel of this size." Lin Zihan thought in his heart, the last time this kind of specification was the one invited by Wang Qin, and now more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Once, Lin Zihan thought that the hotel that Xu Joy's parents could book was already of extremely high standard, but now it seems that the hotel of that specification is not in the flow at all in the eyes of these officials and consortia.
"Hello Advisor Jia."
The government dignitaries gathered in the hall looked at Lin Zihan, who walked into the reception surrounded by the Security Bureau, and it quickly became clear that this was the military adviser sent by the empire, the adviser related to the division of military power in the Southern Regions, Advisor Jia.
Everyone who greeted Lin Zihan one after another, Lin Zihan turned a blind eye, as an adviser, he should be like this, and he was disdainful of these low-ranking officials. But the reason why Lin Zihan is like this is not because Lin Zihan is deliberately pretending, but because Lin Zihan has no intention of knowing this at the moment.
"Mayor, he's coming." Zhang Zheng also appeared at this drinking party for some reason, following behind Yuan Tinghuan, as if he was Yuan Tinghuan's dog, constantly wagging his tail.
Glancing at Zhang Zheng behind him, Yuan Tinghuan's gaze also fell on Lin Zihan, "What happened to me telling you what to do?" ”
"I've quietly hid people, even if the Emgrand has ventilation in his hands and eyes, I can't find it." Zhang Zheng patted his chest and reassured.
"There's nothing going on here, you can go." Yuan Tinghuan said to Zhang Zheng, his eyes still stayed on Lin Zihan who walked in, shaking the red wine glass in his hand.
Seeing that the people around him saluted Advisor Jia one after another, in Yuan Tinghuan's heart, he also remembered the faces of these people, all of them flattering, and their faces were full of flattery. As the head of the Southern Capital, Yuan Tinghuan knows that there are many voices of opposition to him in the Southern Capital.
"It's best not to let a third person know about this matter!" Yuan Tinghuan took one last look at Zhang Zheng and made a movement to wipe his neck, signaling that Zhang Zheng had better kill them all.
"Yes!" Zhang Zheng glanced back at Yuan Tinghuan, and replied in a low voice, cold sweat broke out on his back, the mayor's ruthlessness was really hidden.
Everyone didn't pay attention to all this, after all, in the noisy venue, everyone's eyes were focused on the new Consultant Jia, but Lin Zihan didn't seem to be looking directly, in fact, since he entered this drinking party, the afterglow fell on Zhang Zheng.
"Advisor Jia, I'm Hu Quan, Director of the Water Bureau, and we've met." Hu Quan was the only one among the officials who came out and walked in front of Lin Zihan, holding a wine glass in one hand, facing Lin Zihan, and stretched out a hand to shake hands with Lin Zihan.
In the eyes of the people around him, this situation is either Hu Quan's self-righteousness, or Hu Quan is really already in the southern capital, and he has really achieved the status of one person under ten thousand people.
"Director Hu." Lin Zihan smiled slightly, held Hu Quan's hand, maybe the key to unlocking the situation of the Nandu government, although Lin Zihan didn't like the slightly fat man in front of him, but Lin Zihan knew that maybe behind the Emgrand human trial incident was the acquiescence and instruction of the Nandu government.
"I wonder how Advisor Jia feels about today's reception?" Hu Quan looked at Lin Zihan, and the moment the two shook hands, Hu Quan knew that this matter might have gotten the situation he wanted in Hu Quan's opinion, and the eyes of the people around him were on Hu Quan and Lin Zihan.
"It's fine." Lin Zihan looked at Hu Quan, and then looked at the eyes around him, and knew in his heart that Hu Quan seemed to enjoy this feeling of the stars holding the moon, this feeling of being noticed by a colleague in the same officialdom.
"For tonight's cocktail party, Mayor Yuan is also attentive, if you are satisfied, you will not have to worry about Mayor Yuan." Hu Quan obviously didn't want to overshadow Yuan Tinghuan, he also knew his status, after all, he was still under Yuan Tinghuan.
Hu Quan raised his wine glass and gestured slightly to Yuan Tinghuan, his eyes were not only respectful, but also conveyed a friendly signal, which was also Hu Quan's respect for Yuan Tinghuan's status.
"Let me take you to meet the officials of the Nandu government." Hu Quan and Yuan Tinghuan looked at each other and smiled, bowed their heads slightly, and then took Lin Zihan to get to know the people involved in the reception one by one.
Yan Bing, who was guarding the door of the drinking party, watched the situation in the reception with full attention, his eyes wandered around Lin Zihan from beginning to end, and he didn't notice that a person in the reception left quietly.
……
Outside the cocktail party, a group of black-clothed people gathered behind the building of the cocktail party building, as if they were plotting something, wiping the broken blade in their hands, and rubbing their hands eager to try.
"This thing has to be done without fail." The leader said, and then glanced at the dozen or so people gathered around him, as carefully selected killers, these people's strength is at the peak of the S-level, in order not to detect the authenticity of this team.
"Bring this with you, and remember not to show it deliberately." The leader took a small sign and distributed it to the people who were together, then put on gloves in both hands and began to climb up the vertical wall little by little.
