Chapter 109: Weirdos
Instead of chasing Ximenhan, Ruan Jingtian had no choice but to send the hired driver away, and drove the off-road vehicle to an auto repair shop, asking for the off-road vehicle to be repainted and replaced with a new color. Now that Ximenhan has fled, the news of Meng Lindong's death cannot be hidden, and he wants to remove all traces of Meng Lindong.
Ruan Jingtian walked out of the auto repair shop, saw the sun hanging high, and thought that it was already noon, and he should find a place to eat. He looked around, and not far away, a building with more than 40 floors stood out from the crowd, and a huge signboard hung on the top of the high-rise building: Haitian International Hotel.
Seeing these seven words, Ruan Jingtian remembered that Master Xu Leijian said that the four Manguo instructors lived here. His curiosity was piqued by the thought of the powerful lightning and fireballs, and he decided to take a look at the hotel.
When he came to the front desk of the hotel, he opened a room for himself. In the room, he removed Meng Lindong's appearance and replaced it with Gong Xiaomu's appearance, and then came to the front desk on the first floor again, showed the special instructor certificate he had just handled, and asked Gemern's residence. After checking the documents, the waiter at the front desk told SΓΉ Tagemn and the other four people in four rooms on the seventeenth floor.
Ruan Jingtian did not rush to the seventeenth floor to find these four Manguo, but came to the Manguo Restaurant in the Western-style restaurant, he wanted to try his luck here, if he could hear useful information.
Haitian International Hotel is a famous foreign-related hotel in Quanshui City, most of the guests come from various countries in the Linxing Continent, especially the Manguo people, because the Thorn Country and the Manguo are allies, and there are many commercial and military exchanges, so the Haitian International Hotel has also become a gathering place for the Manguo people.
Manguo Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the Western restaurant, and the taste of its dishes is also authentic Manguo, so almost all the guests who come here to dine here are tall Manguo people, and they also speak Manguo Chinese.
Ruan Jingtian, who was dressed in a stabbing costume, appeared in the Manguo Restaurant, and immediately attracted countless attention, but these eyes stayed for less than three seconds. They left one after another, after all, this is the occupied area of the Thorn Country, and there are not a few Thorn people who come to the Manguo Restaurant to try it, but it is not common for Ruan Jingtian to come to eat alone.
Ruan Jingtian saw that the people of Manguo who were dining noticed him, and secretly screamed in his heart, he came in so conspicuously, I am afraid it will be difficult to obtain valuable information, but he has already come in. Withdrawing abruptly is more likely to arouse suspicion. He had no choice but to sit down in a remote corner.
The waiter of Manguo stood beside Ruan Jingtian with the recipe and said softly in a vine Chinese, "Sir, would you say Chinese Man?"
Ruan Jingtian pretended to be at a loss, and the waiter of the Manguo Kingdom understood that the person in front of him did not understand the Man Chinese, smiled at Ruan Jingtian slightly, and then walked away. After a while, another Manguo waiter came over and said to Ruan Jingtian in Chinese: "Sir." Hello and welcome to Manguo Restaurant. He handed the recipe to Ruan Jingtian.
After ordering a few dishes casually, Ruan Jingtian drank domestic black tea, and his ears pricked up. Listen to the whole restaurant.
Seeing that Ruan Jingtian didn't understand vine Chinese, the diners next to him relaxed and talked with vine Chinese to their heart's content.
Ruan Jingtian's seat was already considered remote, but it was in a more remote corner not very far from Ruan Jingtian. The two Mandarin spoke in a low voice.
"Gemn and Helier were defeated at Xu Leijian in the morning, which disrupted our plans, what should we do next?"
"These two idiots have absolutely ruined our business. However, although our Manguo did not get the extraterrestrial meteorite, but Xu Leijian gave the meteorite to the guy who defeated those two idiots, and we can still let the high-level officials of the Thorn East Theater take down or transfer Xu Leijian on the grounds of giving away military supplies without authorization. β
"Xu Leijian's matter is easy to say, the key is the problem of extraterrestrial meteorites. Shall we give up the extraterrestrial meteorite? This is what little Rotic's son asks for by name, and we promise in front of him that we will definitely bring back the extraterrestrial meteorite. Now that Xu Leijian has sent things out, how can we explain to the little Rotick prince?"
"Let's get someone to inquire about this guy who defeated Germn and Heliel, and gather information about him, the more detailed the better, I think like this: if this guy has no background, we will snatch the meteorite, and if this guy has a big background, we will discuss with him and buy the meteorite. β
"That's all I can do. In the afternoon, we will split up, you hurry up and contact the inside line of the Thorn East Theater and reveal the matter of Xu Leijian's gift of the meteorite outside the sky, and I will find someone to inquire about that hateful devil of Zheguo. By the way, this guy who defeated Gemn and Helier is very evil, it is said that this person is not afraid of lightning and fireballs, what a hell, Zheguo actually hides such a powerful master. β
Hearing this, Ruan Jingtian also had a vague understanding of some things. He knew that Xu Leijian said in public that he would give away the meteorite outside the sky, and this move would definitely not be as simple as it seemed. In addition, Xu Leijian gave himself a special instructor certificate, which was not a whim, but had other plans.
Xu Leijian may have already seen through the conspiracy of the Manguo people, and if he did not hand over the meteorite, he would offend the commander of the Eastern Theater. The Thorn East Theater refers to the Zheguo occupation area in the four eastern provinces of the Thorn Kingdom, and its highest military commander is the army commander, and the commander-level commanders are all in the Zheguo mainland; handing over the meteorite may fall into the tricks of the Manguo people. Therefore, Xu Leijian set up the ring and did everything possible to obstruct the delivery of the meteorite.
Ning Xianghai boasted that Gong Xiaomu's martial arts skills were powerful, which brought Xu Leijian a glimmer of opportunity.
If Gong Xiaomu is vulnerable, Xu Leijian will push Ning Xianghai to the forefront, saying that the masters introduced by Old Man Ning are all defeated by the Manguoren, and he has no choice but to hand over the meteorite, although the Manguo people will provoke political enemies within the army to attack Xu Leijian, but Xu Leijian may ask Ning Xianghai for help, because Xu Leijian will definitely vote for Gong Xiaomu at the joint meeting, which means that Ning Xianghai owes Xu Leijian a favor.
If Gong Xiaomu defeats the Manguo, Xu Leijian will have more room to operate, first, he can justifiably not hand over the meteorite; second, if he hands over the meteorite to Gong Xiaomu, who was introduced by Ning Xianghai, he will have an explanation to the military commander, even if the army commander knows it, but when he thinks of Ning Xianghai behind him, he can only give up; third, handing over the meteorite to Gong Xiaomu can get rid of the entanglement of the Manguo people and make the spearhead of the Manguo people turn to Gong Xiaomu; fourth, giving Gong Xiaomu a special instructor certificate will block the mouth of the political enemies within the army. Because Gong Xiaomu is an instructor, he is naturally a person in the army, and giving things to Gong Xiaomu is not giving away military supplies to people outside the army; Fifth, this is the most critical point, Xu Leijian successfully befriended Gong Xiaomu, which means climbing the big tree of the Ning family.
Ruan Jingtian thought of this, and secretly said in his heart: Xu Leijian seems to be very arrogant, but in fact, there are a lot of flowers and intestines in his stomach, which makes him an excellent flower graft. Use me as a shield. Now everyone's eyes are on me, and I have become the focus of the people of Manguo, the high-ranking members of the Zheguo army, and others. In this world, it is really sinister everywhere, every step is in crisis, and no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
The two people who were talking quietly got up to leave, Ruan Jingtian looked at the backs of these two people, and wondered whether to take down these two people, because these two people actually wanted to grab the meteorite outside the sky and tried to dig his old bottom. How could this not make Ruan Jingtian's evil to the side of the guts?
The little Rotick family mentioned by these two people, Ruan Jingtian heard of the Rotick family when he was studying in Manguo, and it is estimated that the little Rotick son is the younger generation of the Rotik family. The Rotick family is the most famous wealthy family in the country, and almost 30% of the country's political and economic lifelines. Many old large companies have the shadow of the Rotick family, and many members of this family are active in the political and military circles of the Manguo, so it can be said that the Rotiq family has a lot of influence on the Manguo.
Since the Rotick family has taken a fancy to the meteorite outside the sky, it seems that this thing is indeed a good thing. Nguyen Jingtian is not afraid of the Rotick family. Because the Rotick family is no longer in trouble, its influence on the Thorn Kingdom and the Philosopher Kingdom is almost negligible. He was thinking about whether it would bring unexpected trouble if he moved these two Manguo. Can he crisis himself.
Ruan Jingtian thought for a while and decided to take down these two people, he wanted to nip the danger to himself in the bud. After a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, he left the money on the table, got up and followed the trail of the two.
Chasing to the door, Ruan Jingtian saw that the two were breaking up and going their separate ways. He had no choice but to pop out the Soul Chasing Incense, plant tracking marks on the backs of the two Manguo, abandon the person in charge of contacting the high-level inside of the Thorn East War Zone, and turn around and follow the other person.
The office of Ning Shoucheng, the army headquarters of Liuyun Province.
After Wan Xueliang reported the cause and effect of Ning Jingwen's assassination, he quietly glanced at Ning Shoucheng and found that the head of Ning Headquarters' face was calm, as if what happened had nothing to do with him.
Ning Shoucheng was silent for a moment and said, "The night before yesterday, my guards arrested a suspect who claimed to be from the Black Dragon Society. Since your National Security Agency has taken over the Black Dragon Society case, you find my guards and take this person away. β
Wan Xue's conscience fluctuated, and countless doubts arose, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only respectfully agree.
"The disappearance of Liang Qianli, deputy director of the Army Headquarters, has aroused groundless speculation from the outside world. I have already reported this matter to the Zheguo Political Affairs Yuan, which attaches great importance to this matter and has instructed your National Security Administration to be responsible for investigating this incident, what do you think about this matter?" Ning Shoucheng threw out a bombshell that Wan Xueliang unexpected.
"Director Ning, I haven't been notified yet. Wan Xueliang really doesn't want to take on this case, but the deputy provincial leader who holds a lot of power is missing, and it seems that the State Security Administration can also control it. According to the normal division of duties, this matter should be the responsibility of the Zheguo Water Agency. However, Zheguo is too far away from Liuyun Province in the Thorn Country, and it is reasonable to entrust it to the General Administration of National Security.
"Wan Cichang, maybe when you return to the office now, you will receive a message from Zheguo. This matter has a bearing on the cause of the great reunification of the country and should not be taken lightly. What do you think, speak boldly. β
Wan Xueliang pondered for a while and said: "Director Ning, after my investigation and understanding, I think that Liang Qian's understanding of the action to save Wang Zhifei is somewhat unreasonable, and the leader of the Sibo smuggling group is missing, whether there is a connection or not, it is impossible to conclude now." In addition, Wang Zhifei's bizarre poisoning and violent death is also an unsolved mystery. β
Ning Shoucheng stared at Wan Xueliang, a little satisfied in his heart, and said secretly: He is worthy of being the elite agent of the National Security Administration, it seems that this matter is entrusted to him, and there should be a result soon.
"Wan Cichang, this matter is entrusted to you. Anyone who is involved in the Army Headquarters, you should ask and investigate. I will strictly order all departments to cooperate with the National Security Administration in their investigation and evidence collection to the best of their ability. Ning Shoucheng said.
When Wan Xueliang heard this, his heart calmed down a little, because he was most afraid that the people of the Army Headquarters would not cooperate with the investigation, and with Ning Shoucheng's support, then his subordinate departments would not dare to ignore the investigation of the General Administration of National Security.
Walking out of Ning Shoucheng's office, Wan Xueliang felt a cold swish on his back, which was the result of a cold sweat. He thought that Ning Shoucheng had a person from the Black Dragon Society in his hands, and he felt a little incredible. The suspect was caught the night before. Wasn't this the night Tranquility was assassinated?
The more Wan Xueliang thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he hurriedly called the State Security Administration and quickly sent more than a dozen agents to the army headquarters to receive the suspect.
When Wan Xueliang saw the suspect, he immediately knew that this person was the last missing person among the four people sent by the Black Dragon Society. He almost fainted to the ground, it seemed that Ning Shoucheng had already seen a mirror in his heart. Ning Shoucheng vigorously cooperated with him to investigate Liang Qianli's matter, I am afraid it is also full of deep meaning.
Thinking of this, Wan Xueliang was determined to investigate Liang Qianli's disappearance to the bottom of the matter, so that Ning Shoucheng was satisfied.
Ruan Jingtian was speechless and followed the man. actually followed the office building of Liuyun Daily. Seeing that the Man Guo people entered the building in a familiar way, Ruan Jingtian was a little suspicious that this Man Guo was a staff member of Liuyun Daily.
He walked to the door of the building, but was stopped by the guards. The guards asked Nguyen to show his ID and pointed out who he was looking for. Ruan Jingtian was a little speechless, thinking that by the time he completed these formalities, the man from the Manguo would have disappeared long ago.
Seeing the guards staring at him like a thief, Ruan Jingtian knew that if he didn't name a staff member of Liuyun Daily, it was estimated that the guards would arrest him as a thief.
Ruan Jingtian secretly scolded the dog for looking down on people, but he was helpless. He had no choice but to say a name: Niu Yanhui. The last time Ning Jingwen and two colleagues went to Dongshan City for an interview, one of them was Niu Yanhui (see Chapter 93). Ruan Jingtian had several contacts with Niu Yanhui, and felt that this person was quite calm.
After hearing Niu Yanhui's name, the guard made a call. After a while, the guard put down the phone and said that Niu Yanhui would come down in a while.
Ruan Jingtian was a little helpless, his plan was to track down the people of Manguo. There are no plans to see Niu Yanhui. Niu Yanhui came down and saw herself, what should she say?
Really. Niu Yanhui came with a surprised face, she never thought that Ruan Jingtian (Gong Xiaomu) would come to her.
Ruan Jingtian had no choice but to meet him with a hard head and said, "Hello Reporter Niu, I take the liberty to disturb you." β
"Captain Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you looking for me?" asked Niu Yanhui with a puzzled face.
"Reporter Niu, I just passed by here and saw a man walk into your building. I felt that this person was somewhat familiar, so I wanted to say hello to him, but I forgot that you can't enter here, so I was stopped by the guards, and I had no choice but to let you come out and prove for me that I am not a bad person. Ruan Jingtian thought about it, and felt that he still told the truth well, and the actual situation was that he forgot that the security level here was very high.
After Niu Yanhui heard this, she hurriedly said to the guard: "This is my friend, let him come in." β
...
Ruan Jingtian followed Niu Yanhui to her office.
"Captain Gong, is your friend a reporter from the Manguo Kingdom? Niu Yanhui asked.
"My friend is a businessman, not a journalist. "Ruan Jingtian has no friends in Dongshan City and Quanshui City, he is talking nonsense about a friend of Manguo, how dare he say that he knows a reporter from Manguo?
"If your friend isn't a journalist, you've probably mistaken someone. β
"Why do you have a reporter from the Manguo Kingdom here?" Ruan Jingtian was a little curious.
"We now have good diplomatic relations between Zheguo and Manguo, and Manguo has sent many reporters to report on our achievements in the Eastern Continent. Since the Mangye reporters need us to provide materials, they come here very often, and our office has issued a special pass for the Mangne reporters to facilitate the entry and exit of these people. Niu Yanhui carefully explained to Ruan Jingtian.
Ruan Jingtian somewhat understood that he believed that nine times out of ten, these Manguo reporters were spies. He guessed that the intelligence department of Zheguo also knew the identities of these people, and as long as these Manguo spies did not go too far, the Zheguo National Security Administration would not pay attention to these Manguo reporters. Because sending reporters is mutual, Zheguo will also send reporters to Manguo, of course, almost all Zheguo reporters to Manguo are spies, and the intelligence department of Manguo has not expelled Zheguo reporters. The two sides are allies, similar to the relationship between the eldest brother and the younger brother, the eldest brother inquires about the younger brother, and the younger brother wants to know some things about the eldest brother, which is not a big deal.
Niu Yanhui and Ruan Jingtian talked about Ning Jingwen's injury again, and said some things about grinding his teeth, Ruan Jingtian knew that he couldn't look for that man here, and he planned to come to the door to wait for the rabbit.
Just as he was about to get up to say goodbye, Ruan Jingtian's nose moved, and he obviously smelled the smell of thousands of miles of soul chasing incense approaching here, and he was secretly shocked in his heart. It would not be a good thing to meet that Man Guo person here, because now his appearance and identity are Gong Xiaomu, and the purpose of that Man Guo person to Liuyun Daily may be to find someone to collect information about Gong Xiao Mu.
Fortunately, after the smell of the Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Incense entered the next door, it stopped moving. Ruan Jingtian felt that it was a big mistake for him to report Niu Yanhui's name: if the people of the Man Kingdom next door wanted to inquire about the news of Gong Xiaomu, most of them would find Niu Yanhui's body, and Niu Yanhui knew that he was looking for a Man Guoren, how could this not make Niu Yanhui suspicious?
There is no regret medicine in the world, he didn't think too much about his imperceptibility, and he doubted whether Niu Yanhui would be in the future. He didn't bother to think about it either. Since the Man Man was next door, Ruan Jingtian was not in a hurry to leave, he wanted to hear what the Man Man had to say. He used the Xuangang trick, pricked up his ears, and listened to the movement next door, but he had a casual conversation with Niu Yanhui that didn't match. The voice in the next room began to reach Ruan Jingtian's ears:
"Beibei, I miss you so much these days, do you miss me?" said the man in a soft voice in Chinese.
"Smod, let's talk less about what sounds good. Let me ask you, when will you take me back to Manguo?" said a crisp female voice, Ruan Jingtian felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, combined with Beibei's title. He remembered that this was another of Ning Jingwen's two colleagues last time, Wan Beibei. He was speechless, Wan Beibei was actually fascinated by the spies of the Manguo Kingdom.
"Babe. My work isn't over yet, and I can't go back to Manguo. As soon as the things here are done, I'll take you to the country of Man. Smod said.
"When are you done. You never give a letter. Wan Beibei said resentfully.
"Beibei, you also know that the current situation is a bit chaotic, and it's hard to say when it will end. Oh, by the way, you can help me inquire about something, how many martial arts leaders are in the Liuyun Military Region, what are their names, where do they live, etc. You know that I like to delve into martial arts, so I want to get to know the high-level warriors of your Tetsukoku. "Smod finally got into the subject, in a roundabout way, of course. Ruan Jingtian believed that Simud must know his name, and if others didn't say it, Gemn would definitely say the name Gong Xiaomu. However, if Gong Xiaomu's name is abruptly mentioned at this time, Smod is worried that Wan Beibei will be suspicious.
"Okay, you know all day long that I will inquire about things, and you won't accompany me much, you must accompany me to go shopping today. β
...
Waiting for Wan Beibei and Smod to leave the office, Ruan Jingtian also got up to say goodbye.
Niu Yanhui sent Ruan Jingtian to the door, and there were some doubts in her heart: Ning Jingwen's boyfriend seems to be very idle, is it possible that such a small and small official as the captain of the gendarmerie is very idle? A man ran to his girlfriend's girlfriend and girlfriend to chat blindly, how awkward he thought, could this Gong Xiaomu take a fancy to himself?
Hmph, the man doesn't have a good thing, and with Tranquility, he actually came to beat my idea. However, Gong Xiaomu is still very good, the official is not big, but the power is great. It's also good if you can pry the corner of your girlfriend. Phew, I'm a virtuous lady, how can I think of these dirty thoughts. Well, think about it again, when Gong Xiaomu talked to me, he seemed to be absent-minded, not as enthusiastic as the legendary man chasing the woman!
In the end, Niu Yanhui came to the conclusion that this Gong Xiaomu is a weirdo.
Wan Beibei and Smod entered the fourth women's clothing hypermarket, and Ruan Jingtian, who followed behind, admired the woman's physical fitness and endurance when she went to the mall. Smod is also pitiful enough, in order to get information, he accompanied the woman to the mall without complaint, looking at his guilty appearance, Ruan Jingtian guessed that Smod was already impatient in his heart.
Sure enough, Smod sat down on the stool and let Wan Beibei pick out the clothes alone.
Ruan Jingtian saw Wan Beibei disappear into all kinds of women's clothes and knew that the opportunity had come. He didn't have time to change his face, so he had to put on a large mask, walked up to Smod, and violently used his soul magic with all his might. Smod was caught off guard, feeling his head dizzy, his head drooping, and his body fell on his side.
Ruan Jingtian hurriedly helped Simode and said to the waiter next to him: "This is my friend, he sometimes suffers from dizziness, and I want to take him to the hospital." β
The waiter just looked at the two people in front of him, didn't say anything, and muttered in his heart: This gringo's girlfriend is inside, isn't this person going to say hello to his girlfriend?
Of course, Ruan Jingtian knew that such an excuse was very lame, but in order not to meet Wan Beibei, he could only take such a naΓ―ve method and try his best to get Smod out.
In order to speed up the escape, Ruan Jingtian picked up the dead Smod and walked out of the hypermarket quickly. The people in the hypermarket all showed surprised expressions when they saw the thin Ruan Jingtian running wildly with the tall Smod, but as Ruan Jingtian and Smodee disappeared from sight, these people returned to their original state. In the world, there are too many strange things, and a small man holding a big man will not cause much turmoil in people's hearts.
Coming to a hotel, Ruan Jingtian put down Smod, ran the Divine Soul Technique, and began to inquire deeply.
Half an hour later, Ruan Jingtian slowly put away the Divine Soul Technique. From Smod's answer, he learned a lot about the alleged paranormal function:
Many of the special functions are actually the application of cultivation mana, and the lightning and fireballs emitted by Gemn and Halier are the application techniques of cultivation mana. However, Gemn and Helier did not practice the cultivation of the true cultivation method, nor did they give birth to the Xuan Jing, but used their own characteristics to operate and apply the magic technique, thus emitting lightning and fireballs.
Germne, Halier, and the other two Mandarin Instructors had extraordinary static electricity in their bodies, so they used a trick to convert a large amount of static electricity into lightning or fireballs.
If you really want to say that these people have special abilities, then it is not wrong, because ordinary people do not have a lot of static electricity on them.
Smod was an ordinary person who didn't have enough static electricity on his body to form lightning or fireballs, but Smod liked to study application techniques, so he actually had four application methods for cultivation on him.
Ruan Jingtian took out the booklet that came from Hailier's body, and sure enough, it was a basic fireball technique, and Simud also had a fireball technique, but Simoo's fireball technique had much more content than the basic fireball technique, Ruan Jingtian hurriedly flipped through it, and he was a little afraid in his heart: If Hailier practiced the fireball technique in Simode's hand, it was really hard to say who would win and who would lose in the battle in the morning.
The rest of the magic techniques were lightning techniques, wind blade techniques, and water control techniques, and after Ruan Jingtian read it, he became more and more suspicious that there should be many cultivators like him in Lin Xing Continent, but these people were all hidden, for example, he hid incognito in the officialdom of Zheguo.
Thinking of this, Ruan Jingtian had a deep sense of crisis. In the past, he felt good about himself, thinking that if he cultivated Xuan Qi, he should not meet an opponent, but when he saw that the people of the Manguo had such a subtle application method in their hands, he realized that there were people outside the human world and heaven outside the sky.
He decided to pay less attention to the messy things in the officialdom in the future, and improving his own strength was the top priority. (To be continued......)
