Chapter 37: The Past
Li Qingyan didn't speak.
Serious thought about it, opened the bag, and poured out the contents.
It's a stack of papers of different colors. The old actuary could see at a glance that there were all kinds of remittance vouchers.
He frowned slightly, picked up one and looked at it. The remitter is Li Qingyan, the name of the receiving account is "Orange Zhi", the amount is 4,400 yuan, and the date is half a month ago. He picked up a few others and looked at them, and found that some still belonged to this "Cheng Zhi", and more belonged to different people.
The earliest was four years ago.
"What is it?" Li Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled for a moment, "What does this mean?"
The serious student raised his eyes to look at Li Qingyan.
"I sponsored twelve children. They are all fatherless and motherless. Li Qingyan said calmly, "The oldest is eighteen years old this year, and the youngest is nine years old. This one named Cheng Zhi is now in the advanced class, and the rest are in the practice class or preparatory class. β
"Lao Yan, I don't just want to do something for star fruit - I want to do something for these fatherless and motherless people, or the children of the demon clan. Because I don't have parents myself, I know what it's like to be alone. I help star fruit, it makes sense. Coupled with them, doesn't it make more sense. β
Li Cheng narrowed his eyes: "That's all, I'll find someone at random, and I can make a bunch of these things!"
But the serious student was silent for a while, then picked up another one, rubbed it in his hand, looked at it, and then put it down.
"It's true. He pondered for a moment, "Qingyan, where did you get the money?"
"Selling words and paintings. Lao Yan, you know that those old cadres in Hongyang Street like my calligraphy and painting. I sell one every month, and if I don't be greedy, the price won't go down. A few thousand to ten thousand yuan a piece, enough. Earlier, when I was in the city investment bank, I worked as a tutor - you can find all of this. That's where the money comes in. β
Lu Buxiu stared at those remittance vouchers with wide eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while. For the first time, he knew about it.
Seriously thinking for a while, he stared at the other file bag in Li Qingyan's hand: "Qingyan, what is this?"
Li Qingyan also threw this one on the table: "Something that can make you believe that I won't have anything to do with the Special Intelligence Agency." β
Serious Sheng's face became serious. After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and picked up and opened the file.
There are only three thin pages inside, but there is light and shadow.
There are written records on paper, and there are also many complex numbers and charts, from which the light and shadow come from. The faint light takes on a three-dimensional shape on the paper, revealing information that needs to be displayed in several times the amount of paper. This method is difficult to forge, which means that the file belongs to a person who has been in a school or seminary.
He glanced at Li Qingyan in surprise, and then lowered his head to look at the file carefully. Li Cheng also leaned over to look, but soon felt dizzy - he didn't like dense words and numbers.
It was a full fifteen minutes before the serious student put the file on the table. After thinking about it, he picked it up and put it in his file bag.
These three pieces of paper record in detail how Li Qingyan was selected for the advanced training class at the age of fourteen, and the comprehensive evaluation and consideration of his physical condition, soul strength, mental condition, and supernatural ability. And what happened in these three years, and why he was kicked out. There are some things that Li Qingyan has never said, but most of them he has never said.
"The people in the government found out that your soul strength was very high, so they sent you to the refresher class. Serious Sheng said to Li Qingyan, "Then I found out there that your soul strength was so high that you couldn't cultivate." β
Li Qingyan said calmly: "Yes." The pendulum will swing. Souls with low strength cannot retain spiritual power, and souls with too high strength cannot exert spiritual power. Neither of these extremes is suitable for practice. β
"Then another accident happened - a half-eaten corpse was found in your dorm room, it was your classmate. "You were kicked out for this, but I don't think you're that kind of person." β
Li Cheng, Sister Mandarin Duck, and Lu Buxiu were all stunned. After a while, Li Cheng stared at Li Qingyan with a complicated face and smiled: "Ha...... Cheng, little swallow. It's worthy of being born in our wasteland. β
Li Qingyan glanced at him lightly and said to the serious student: "Because I was wronged." If I had eaten someone in the refresher class - it was still my own classmate, it wouldn't have been as simple as being kicked out. I will be deprived of my sanity and beaten back to my true body, and then executed. β
"So what's going on?"
Li Qingyan smiled, and suddenly changed the topic: "Zhou Lihuang has inquired about me with you." I guess I heard the news from the Secret Service. This accident should be because of him. β
"At that time, most of the people in the refresher class were powerful people. There are only four or five people like me who don't have any background. The others soon decided to be dogs, but I didn't want to do that. β
"After that, you should think about it, I will be bullied. But it's not just because I don't want to be a dog...... It was also because there was a girl named Lin Xiaoman who liked me at that time. She is now the stationmaster of the European Station of the Zongdao Bureau, and she must be more familiar to you - Lin Qiyun. β
Serious Sheng thought for a moment: "He is currently the director of the Beishan Special Intelligence Bureau. β
"That's right. Li Qingyan smiled, "The little girl of the Lin family was in the rebellious period at that time, and she liked to do things differently. Since he was born, he was surrounded by nobles and sons, all of whom came out of the same mold. When I saw a demon like me from a wasteland in the advanced class, I felt fresh and curious. I don't look obnoxious, and she's obsessed with me β she's not the only one, actually. β
"There are a lot of sons and brothers who like Lin Xiaoman. After she confessed to me and was rejected by me, those boys had even more reasons to bully me. But I know I can't mess with them...... At first, I didn't want to be tough. I want to put up with it...... Maybe they found out that I was a wretch who would only take a beating and wouldn't fight back, so they wouldn't be interested. β
Li Cheng took a sip: "What a wreck." β
Li Qingyan ignored him. After a pause, he said, "This method works." Later, a lot of people really lost interest in me...... But there is not one. It is Zhou Lihuang. β
"Do you know where he came from? Sounds goodβthe second son of the principal of the Yamatoyama Buntomu School. Big and small Yuanshan, one of the six sects and five factions. This civil and martial arts school is a low-profile version of a private cultivation class, and Zhou Lihuang's Laozi is the appointed successor of Xiao Yuanshan. β
But Zhou Lihuang, the child, was not welcomed at home. Because it's so stupid. Impulsive, shallow, extremely low emotional intelligence, narrow-minded. It's just that his eldest brother has extremely high qualifications, and he is gentle and generous, and the city government is very deep. And because Zhou Lihuang is actually an illegitimate child, his old man almost didn't exist in the first ten years. That's why he came to the refresher class, not by his family. β
"This kind of person doesn't have much of a presence when he arrives at a refresher course. But I can find a presence in me - I am the best material for him to vent the resentment he has accumulated for more than a decade. He didn't mean much to talk about what he had done to me. But in short, it made me realize that there is no end to putting up with him. β
Li Qingyan laughed: "So by the second year, I made a few friends. It's not hard to make friends. There are not a few people who are as curious about me as Lin Xiaoman, and besides, it's not that I won't make friends with them before, but I'm just too lazy to make friends with them. β
"Then in the third year, one night, I ran to Zhou Lihuang's bedroom. β
"At that time, the teachers in the advanced school had gradually realized that I couldn't practice, and I was basically in a free-range state. And at that time I knew how to hide my powersβall thanks to life in the wastelandβand they thought I was just a slightly more physical demon. β
"I controlled Zhou Lihuang and broke his two legs. β
Sister Mandarin Duck whistled: "Okay, little Yan'er." β
Li Qingyan nodded and smiled at her: "Zhou Lihuang saw me and went to report to the teacher the next day." But no one with a modicum of common sense would believe that I, such a waste, could control a Sixth Level Monk and make him unable to scream, and he was unharmed after breaking his leg. β
"I was investigated for a while, but nothing came of it. β
Zhou Lihuang's leg was connected, and he basically grew well in four days. He told me that when he was healed, he would have to kill me. So on the fifth day I ran to his dorm and broke his leg again. β
Li Cheng seemed to want to laugh, but held back. But Lu Buxiu laughed on his behalf.
The serious student seemed to be interested in the story: "And then?"
"He said it was me. But the friends I made came in handy β they testified for me. Zhou Lihuang's stupidity lies in caring too much about his own feelings, and the friends I have made don't like him very much. They love to see me do thatβlike people like they do dog fighting. β
"So this time, I'm still fine. Zhou Lihuang didn't dare to tell his family, and the school thought that he might have a grudge with other classmates. And the man who broke his leg didn't care much about the possible punishment of the school...... They thought it might be the son of another magnate. β
"The children of the powerful fight to this extent is not something that the school can solve. It should be a matter of two families. So the second investigation was even more perfunctory than the first β the school wanted to drag it out until they solved the problem on their own. β
"Four days later, I broke his leg again. This is the third time. There was a fourth, fifth, and sixth time, about four or five days apart, so that his legs could not grow. β
In this way, Zhou Lihuang developed a problem that made me want to cry when he saw me. He didn't dare to look at me anymore, and I thought it would be all right. But after another six months, there was this accident on the file, and I was kicked out. Li Qingyan said, "I haven't figured out who did it, but there is no doubt that it was Zhou Lihuang." After that, I tried to keep a low profile so that he wouldn't find me. Fortunately, Kitayama was big enough, and he really didn't find me again until he met him at the checkpoint the day before yesterday. β
"Old Yan, now think about it. If I'm like this, will I work hard for the Secret Service? Even if I think, will the Secret Service accept - Lin Qiyun is Lin Xiaoman's son, Lin Xiaoman is infatuated with a demon clan, and he has this demon clan under his command?"
Li Qingyan smiled coldly: "Or there is a simpler way, ask Zhou Lihuang directly and ask him to come and interview me." I'll ask him where he knew I was from the Secret Service. β
This time Li Cheng didn't speak, and Lu Buxiu gave Li Qingyan a thumbs up behind the three of them.
The serious student was silent for a while: "Zhou Lihuang...... It is true that it is not explicitly stated that you are from the Secret Service. Qingyan, the possibility you are talking about does exist - because of the past, he revealed some ambiguous information and planned to get rid of you. β
Li Chengyi glared: "He didn't say these things before, and he only said them now-who knows what the hell is thinking?"
Li Qingyan smiled: "Because these are not glorious things. It reminds me of when I used to beβfrom the wasteland, and the beast nature has not faded. My heart was full of depression and anger, and I hid my gloomy thoughts. Brother Cheng may see these things as treasures, but I hate them. Of course, don't expect you to understand. β
"You!!"
Serious Sheng waved his hand: "Okay." Qingyan, you'll have to stay here a little longer. β
Li Qingyan nodded calmly and looked directly at him: "I said everything I should say." Lao Yan, believe me or not, it's your business. β
Serious turned around and walked out the door. Lu Buxiu narrowed his eyes: "Lao Yan, Lao Yan? What else can be wrong with this?
He turned his face to Li Qingyan again and said, "Brother Yan, don't worry, fuck, this thing can-"
Li Cheng sneered and pulled the iron door shut, isolating his voice.
Serious Sheng walked unhurriedly in the long and cold aisle, and Lu Buxiu caught up with him: "Lao Yan? is still locked up? Brother Yan, he-"
Serious Sheng stopped and looked at him kindly: "Don't stop, don't worry. Go get Qingyan something to eat. The Minister is here with us today. Asking Qingyan to stay for a while is to give the minister an explanation - I'll talk to the minister now, you can rest assured about Qingyan's matter. β
Lu Buxiu was immediately overjoyed: "I would have known that anyone could not believe Brother Yan, you would not be! Okay, I'll go now!!"
He happily crossed the serious life and ran away. Li Cheng glared behind him: "You don't really believe that kid, do you!?"
Serious Sheng also looked at him and Sister Mandarin Duck: "Li Cheng, you two have just arrived in the city, it's best to keep a low profile." I need your opinion on the things in the wasteland, and you need my opinion on the things in the city. Peace of mind for now. β
With that, he walked to the exit of the tunnel and stepped on the rusty iron ladder.
Li Cheng was stunned for a while, and looked at the colorful girl beside him: "What do you mean by this?"
Sister Mandarin Duck thought for a moment and frowned: "I guess it means...... Xiao Yan'er is fine here. Brother Cheng, I advise you not to be impulsive, this is their territory after all. Let's have a long life with Xiao Yan'er in the future, since the serious students believe in him...... We'll just put up with it. One day, we will be able to avenge our revenge. β
Li Cheng was silent for a while, gasping and looking at the iron door at the other end of the aisle.
". Then let him be happy for a few more days. β
And inside the iron gate, Li Qingyan reached out and pulled it out of his ear.
There is a subtle sound in the ear - through a tiny formation that has been engraved in the inner ear canal a long time ago.
He listened for a moment and whispered, "Wait." The serious student should have half believed my words, and now he is hesitating. Give him some time. Wait until fifteen minutes later. β
