Volume 1 The ups and downs of life Chapter 98 A new inner ghost

Xin Guangli bowed and bowed, "If it's not smooth." I'll leave it all up to Your Excellency. ”

Ye Zhanjian said with a smile: "I haven't given the 100,000 yuan just now, and now I am begging to do something, and he is talking so badly, it seems like parting with life and death." Speaking of which, are you going to pay off?"

Xin Guangli was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Ye Zhanjian was joking, and also smiled: "Your Excellency said that you are joking." Xin won't be bad about this account no matter what. It's just that this time I went to the office, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and it was dangerous and unpredictable. ”

"Moreover, Xin doesn't know what despicable means the Keshen Sect will use, if it is just Xin Mou, they can't find the flame beast, and they will definitely not easily put Xin to death, if we go together, it will make them have no scruples. ”

Ye Jianjian thought for a while and said, "What you said also makes some sense. Then do as you say. ”

Zhao Qiong suddenly said, "I'll accompany Professor Xin over." ”

Xin Guangli hurriedly said: "No." You're injured in the leg and can't move, and it's useless to follow me. ”

Zhao Qiong knew that Xin Guangli said this on purpose, so that she could stay with peace of mind.

She hurriedly shook her head and said, "You listen to me." We went there so many people this time, if it was just you, a research-type cultivator, who came back alone, and there were no obvious scars on your body at all, even if it was your own people, I am afraid that you would be suspicious and suspect that you had betrayed the dean. In this way, it is even more difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. ”

"If I go back with you, it will be enough to prove that we have tried our best to escape, and it will be safer. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "What she said also makes sense. ”

Ye Jianjian also nodded yes.

Xin Guangli was helpless, so he had to say, "Okay." You follow me. However, if you encounter danger, you need to take care of yourself. ”

Zhao Qiong nodded again and again.

Not long after, business travelers came to the city one after another. Everyone chatted for a while, and when the sun rose in the east and the sky was bright, when the city gates were wide open, they entered the city one after another, and each acted separately.

Wang Xiaotian followed Ye Jianjian for a while, and suddenly asked, "Senior Ye......"

Ye Jianjian hurriedly said, "Don't, don't." Your 'senior' calls me like an old man in his seventies and eighties. I'm not much older than you, so I call you little brother, and you call me big brother. What do you think?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Okay, good." Brother Ye, where are we going?"

Ye Zhanjian asked rhetorically, "Do you know where Guangde Building is?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head, "It's the first time I've come to Xijing City. ”

Ye Zhanjian smiled: "Since you don't know, just follow me." Didn't you listen to Professor Xin, if it goes well, Dean Wang will not be able to arrive until the afternoon. We sat there early in the morning and waited, which would definitely attract the attention of those who cared about it. ”

Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized, "Oh. I see. So what are we going to do?"

Ye Jian said: "Settle the ancient girl first, then go around, wait for noon, and then it's not too late to go to Guangde Building." ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded again and again, "Okay, we'll all listen to Brother Ye." ”

Although Gu Xingrong was a little reluctant in her heart. But she knew very well that her cultivation was too low, and if she followed them, she had to let Wang Xiaotian be distracted and take care of her, and it became a burden. So, I accepted the arrangement.

The Fourth Research Institute is located on the west side of Wenchang Avenue, and it is necessary to pass through most of the Xijing City from Dongxingmen to the Fourth Research Institute from Dongxing Gate into the city. Zhao Qiong was injured in the leg and couldn't walk fast. In order to accommodate her, Xin Guangli had to slow down.

After walking for about an hour, the sky was bright, and the street vendors had already set up their stalls, and bursts of various scents wafted over.

Xin Guangli was anxious in his heart, and he didn't care much about these scents. Zhao Qiong is different. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these days, and when I smell these tempting fragrances, I can't pull out my legs anymore.

Xin Guangli noticed that Zhao Qiong didn't follow, thinking that she had an accident, so he quickly stopped, looked back, and saw Zhao Qiong standing in front of a steamed bun stall, looking straight at it, drooling over the hot steamed buns that had just come out of the cage.

Xin Guangli shook his head helplessly, walked over and said, "Boss, come with two steamed buns and two bowls of spicy soup." ”

"Okay. Please sit down and wait. ”

Zhao Qiong was happy to hear it, like an eight-year-old child. She hurriedly limped to the small table and sat down, stretching her long injured legs in a daze, waiting for the boss to send steamed buns and spicy soup.

Xin Guangli sat opposite Zhao Qiong.

After a while, the shopkeeper served spicy soup and steamed buns.

Zhao Qiong happily picked up a bun, and didn't care about the heat, so she took a bite of most of it. The fat in the stuffing of the bun is running down the corners of the mouth.

Zhao Qiong ate a steamed bun in two bites, and saw Xin Guangli absentmindedly, holding chopsticks and stirring in the spicy soup bowl, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you eat steamed buns?"

Xin Guangli raised his head, glanced at Zhao Qiong deeply, and suddenly said, "You are deliberately delaying time so that your accomplices can be prepared, right?"

A trace of panic flashed in Zhao Qiong's eyes, but there was a blank look on his face, "What do you mean? Can't I eat something when I'm hungry?" If you think I'm deliberately procrastinating, you can leave me and go back to the institute by yourself. ”

Xin Guangli's eyes were like torches, "So, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Zhao Qiong was stunned, and immediately understood that she had fallen into Xin Guangli's language trap. If you are not procrastinating, when you hear Xin Guangli's words, you should first be angry, instead of justifying your actions. The more she explained, the more she proved that she had a problem.

Zhao Qiong simply relaxed, took a bun, took a bite, and asked while chewing, "How did you find out?"

Xin Guangli said: "Before entering the city, when we discussed, you had to follow me. At that time, I was a little surprised, because you were too positive and thought about me. ”

Zhao Qiong was a little surprised, and said: "After so many tribulations, you have never abandoned me, I am deeply moved and like you, isn't this okay?"

The corners of Xin Guangli's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "At first, I thought so too. But, I know it's not. ”

Zhao Qiong sneered, "You know, you have never been in love at all, you have never been married, do you know what the love between men and women is?"

Xin Guangli's face became gloomy, "Although I have been in the graduate school for so many years, I have never been married, and I have never even been in love. But before that, I had a relationship. If it weren't for the breakup by accident, I would have been discouraged, and I wouldn't have worked at the Fourth Research Institute. ”

Zhao Qiong was a little surprised, "Just like you, there will be people who will take a fancy to it, you can't be a crush, right?"

"Nonsense! I wasn't so fat when I was young, and I wasn't so dark, and I could barely be called handsome and chic. In addition, I am very talented, I often write some poems and essays and publish them in the school magazine, I am a well-known literary and artistic youth, how can no one like me?"

"Then why did you break up again?"

Xin Guangli's eyes were foggy, as if he was recalling something. After a while, he came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Don't say anything." It's all gone. But you, the Keshen cultists, are all crazy, why do you want to betray the dean and join them?"

Zhao Qiong continued to eat steamed buns, "I'm not a Keshen cultist. I'm just taking their money and doing little things for them. ”

Xin Guangli stared at Zhao Qiong's eyes, "For example, bring a tracker to provide them with guidance?"

Zhao Qiong's face changed slightly, "How would you know?"

Xin Guangli said: "I've always wondered why Master Lu dissected your knees. Curious, coerced confessions, it seems to be a little bit worse. ”

"Curious, I thought it was unlikely. There are subtle differences in the structure of people's knees because of their height. It's basic common sense, and as a master anatomical expert, he won't be unaware, and there's no need to dissect your knees. And, in that environment, he would only slow down the team. ”

"There is no need to dissect the knee. I'm not a strong-willed person, and I'm prepared to confess beforehand. If he cuts you any time, I will confess. ”

"This doubt haunted me until I became suspicious of you. If you're bought by the Cult, then everything makes sense. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Qiong took a sip of Hu spicy soup, looked at Xin Guangli and said, "Tell me, why is everything reasonable?"

Xin Guangli sorted out his thoughts and said, "Before the Flame Beast was lost, you were bought by the Keshen Sect. Isn't that right?"

Zhao Qiong nodded.

"If the flame beast is lost, the institute will definitely send someone to search for it, and you happened to be on duty at that time, so you are the inevitable candidate. ”

Zhao Qiong nodded again.

"As long as you are tracked, the people of the Science and God Sect will be able to keep track of the movements of the search team at any time. Therefore, the people of the Science and God Cult have found an opportunity to place a tracker on you. ”

"However, the institute is heavily guarded, and everyone has to go through a security check when they get back. As soon as you return to the Institute, the tracker will be exposed. Therefore, at a certain time, the people of the Sect of Science and Technology must take out the tracker. In this way, you can continue to lurk in the institute and become an undercover agent of the Cult. ”

"We were caught by Master Lu, and it was the most opportune time. He dissected your knee ostensibly to extract a confession, but in fact he retrieved the tracker. Even if you return to the office, I can testify that the injury on your knee was caused by Master Lu. That way, no one will be suspicious of you. ”

Zhao Qiong smiled proudly: "That's right, what you just said is right." Before setting out to search for the Flame Beast, they placed a tracker in my lap. At that time, a high-pressure syringe was used, and the tracker was injected directly into the muscle. The purpose, of course, is to make it easier for them to track our location. ”

"Originally, it was very simple. I found the Flame Beast, and then we were attacked by the Cultists, and the Flame Beast was snatched by them, and I faked my death and got out, taking the money that the Flame God taught me, and from then on, I changed my face and lived happily. ”

"But I never expected that Wang Xiaotian was killed halfway, this nosy little rabbit cub! The Cultists also had to launch an attack in advance if they were not fully prepared. ”

What's even more infuriating is that the inner ghost Xiao Li escaped with the flame beast, but ran into that nosy little rabbit cub again. The Flame Beast has been snatched back by the little bunny, and I have to continue to follow you. ”

Xin Guangli sighed: "Facts have proved that my vision is still good, and I have made friends with Wang Xiaotian." If it weren't for his help, the Flame Beast would have been gone. ”

Zhao Qiong sneered: "You are happy too early." Unless Dean Wang arrives in person, it is not known who killed the deer. ”

Immediately after, she smiled proudly: "If you hadn't contacted Dean Wang, guess he'd still come?"

Xin Guangli shook his head helplessly, "Zhao Qiong, I've been giving you a chance, I hope you can turn back." But you get wrong again and again. ”

Zhao Qiong snorted coldly, "You better take care of yourself first." Do you know why I stopped in front of this stall?"
