Chapter 322: Victim Sequence
At this time, Lan Yu, who was in the room of the first branch, gently pushed the glasses on his nose with his slender fingers.
The stiff prosthesis on his left hand closed Gao Hongqian's data book with some difficulty, and his face was a little unnatural.
In fact, Lan Yu was very dissatisfied with the first branch intervening in the affairs of the seventh branch again, or in other words, the affairs of Ji Li.
After all, not long ago, he was punished by Li Yi for intervening privately and lost his left hand.
But Lan Yu had no say in this matter.
The situation of the first branch was too complicated. Even Lan Yu, who was called "Mr. Lan" and respected by the outside world, was nothing more than a chess piece.
Li Yi was the well-deserved manager of the first branch.
But under him, there were three deputy managers.
This was unique in any branch.
Even the ninth branch, which claimed to be able to compete with the first branch, only had one manager and one deputy manager.
The most direct reason for this situation was Li Yi, the manager.
Li Yi was not originally from the First Branch.
Previously, the manager of the First Branch was named "Tie Lin", but Li Yi suddenly landed in the First Branch and was directly appointed as the manager by the hotel.
At that time, the First Branch was only a two-star level.
After that, Li Yi almost always passed the missions by himself.
Even the missions that Tie Lin participated in had basically no chance to perform.
Li Yi was like the protagonist in a novel, perfect in everything, the first in everything, and so dazzling that it was comparable to the scorching sun.
It can be said that the First Branch began to grow wildly because of Li Yi, leaving all the branches behind and becoming the strongest branch.
It was also because the number of times the branch passed the customs increased, the number of sins increased, and the number of strong people also increased.
But Li Yi was an "extremely irresponsible" manager who didn't care about anything in the branch at all.
It seemed that he came here because of the First Branch, named "First".
Until that moment, everyone realized that the First Branch was named in this sequence because of Li Yi.
In this way, problems also emerged as time passed.
Li Yi let go and did not participate, and did not care about the affairs and employees in the branch.
Tielin, the former manager of the first branch and the current deputy manager of the first branch, had to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
To a certain extent, Tielin is still the manager, but there is a hands-off shopkeeper who suppresses him.
But this situation did not last too long. The second deputy manager "Gu Qingyun" soared in power and finally became the second deputy manager on an equal footing with Tielin.
Then, the third deputy manager "Xu Nan" turned out again.
It just so happened that the first branch had reached the peak of a three-star hotel and was only one step away from a four-star hotel.
So there were a lot of people in this branch.
In this way, the first branch was divided into three extremely strong forces by three deputy managers.
The three parties restrained and hindered each other. In Tianhai Hotel, there were dangers and struggles everywhere, and the pitiful trust between people had long been worn out.
Everyone was for profit, or crime, or survival.
The three deputy store managers of the first branch are in this situation.
Tielin, Gu Qingyun, and Xu Nan, each of them is stronger than Xue Tinghai, so naturally they don't accept each other.
On the surface, the three of them are going smoothly, but in fact, they have killed many people behind the scenes.
Lan Yu belongs to the first deputy store manager Tielin. In addition to executing tasks, he is responsible for handling external branches.
Including using some very special criminal objects to send different people to different branches as reserve ghosts.
The previous Kyoto mission was instructed by him at the instruction of Tielin.
Originally, Tielin wanted to curry favor with Li Yi, but he didn't expect to backfire and harm Lan Yu instead.
But this time, after the operation of the ghost of the seventh branch, they can already intervene in the matters of the mission.
So Tielin wanted to make up for his loss and eliminate Ji Li, including Fang Shenyan, in this Mu Nianmei case mission.
But it was difficult for these two people to do it, so Tielin first set his sights on Xiao Qianduye, who seemed to have some social connections with Fang Shenyan...
And Lanyu could almost confirm that the deputy store manager above him was a fool.
With Li Yi's personality, if he did it well, he might not get any credit, and if he failed, he would definitely be self-destructive.
Or in other words, Li Yi just wanted to do it himself.
What happened between Li Yi and Ji Li, why should they, outsiders who knew nothing, get involved.
But Tielin was a fool and didn't realize this at all.
Lanyu knew that this action would most likely fail, but not only did he not dissuade him, but he still agreed to it.
If it failed again this time, Lanyu would tell Li Yi all the truth.
By then, Tielin would die, and then he, Lanyu...
...
Gao Hongqian in 2000 stood in front of Shanming University of Finance and Economics for a long time with a dazed look on his face, and then he exclaimed.
He finally understood that this was the mysterious and powerful first branch trying to trip up the seventh branch.
Gao Hongqian became a chess piece in this dark conflict. After a long silence, he looked around with a faint fear.
The surroundings were as quiet as before, without even a ghost, and it was as safe as it could be.
But this man named Lan Yu spoke with an extremely confident tone, and it was obvious that he was a target for slaughter at will.
Gao Hongqian was worried. He knew that the first branch was very powerful. From what he had just said, he could guess that the situation of the seventh branch was completely controlled by the first branch.
So, a guess about the insider was shrouded in his mind.
But with his mind, he could only guess this step by catching wind and shadows, and now was not the time to think about these things.
Finally, after two minutes of silence, Gao Hongqian mustered up the courage to make a test.
But before he could speak, he suddenly heard Lan Yu's voice again, interrupting what he was about to say.
"Look down."
Gao Hongqian didn't understand why, and slowly lowered his head, and then his eyes widened, full of fear and disbelief.
His trouser legs rolled up automatically, as if there was an invisible hand doing these weird things at his feet.
The trouser legs were lifted up, and the cool breeze made Gao Hongqian shiver, and then he suddenly found a symbol on his calf.
It was a number: "2"!
"I...I..."
Gao Hongqian was shocked and scared. He was shocked that Lan Yu could roll up his trouser legs out of thin air. He was afraid that the position of the word "2" was exactly where he was caught by the ghost in 2000!
"You have three minutes. If you don't see Xiao Qianduye, you will die."
...
Gao Hongqian left and ran into Shanming University of Finance and Economics. No one stopped him because his running speed was almost the same as running for his life.
At this time, at the gate of Shanming University of Finance and Economics, a figure who had been staring at them for a long time slowly walked out of the tree trunk.
The man pushed down the baseball cap on his head to cover most of his face. Looking at Gao Hongqian's back, he gently pressed his left arm.
"I am 1, he is 2... Is this the victim sequence..."
