Chapter 823 Lan Yu
Traveling across districts will take more than an hour and a half.
Chang Nian is a skilled driver and controls his speed very accurately. He can often choose the most appropriate route to avoid red lights and traffic.
In the dull atmosphere in the car, no one spoke.
It's just soothing pure music automatically playing on the car audio, trying to soothe the emotions of the people in the car.
But judging from the increasingly faster speeds, it doesn't have much effect.
Chang Nian held the steering wheel and looked at the car in front of him with a gloomy expression, then accelerated sharply and overtook it.
Then he stretched his hand out the window, raised his middle finger, and cursed.
Ji Li looked at the glass, looking at the snowy scene passing by outside the window, and suddenly asked:
"How is the situation in Tongguan?"
Since the last rescue by Li Guanqi and others, he has never inquired about Tongguan.
Judging from Chang Nian's performance, it seems that he already has some solutions to the problem.
Chang Nian held the steering wheel with one hand and said with determination:
"As long as I can get the soul-shaped sin object, I can save him."
As soon as he saw Tongguan and Chang Nian, two bloody heads appeared in Ji Li's mind involuntarily.
He closed his eyes, hiding his emotions, and asked softly:
"How did you come to Tongguan all these years?"
Chang Nian glanced at Ji Li in surprise, which caused the vehicle to become unstable and almost hit the car in front.
She slowed down suddenly, turned the steering wheel, let go of the car in front of her and drove away quickly, then accelerated again.
After completing a series of actions, a look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes, and her tone was filled with a sense of sadness.
“As a young boy in Tongguan, I lost my parents and have been alone for these years.
Fortunately, with the help of caring people in the society, I completed my studies.
But his parents' affairs have always been an obsession in his heart, and he has never given up searching for them for many years.
We have been living in Shanghai City. If we had not come to Shanming by chance and entered the hotel, perhaps so many things would not have happened. "
Chang Nian sometimes thinks selfishly, if Tongguan never comes into contact with that club, if Tongguan never finds clues about his parents' disappearance.
So will they be able to live a stable and peaceful life with this regret?
But maybe, if it all happened again, she would accompany Tongguan to Shanming.
Because she loves him.
Ji Li stopped talking. He just looked at the white sky and earth quietly.
In a daze, Tong En and A Jing's faces were once again reflected on the snow.
The fate of Tongguan originated from the entanglements of the previous generation, and will move towards a new future along with these fetters.
Whether he will repeat his mistakes or break through the shackles, no one knows.
…
"Hometown Tea Fragrance" is a niche high-end private teahouse.
It is usually a high-end business crowd, but occasionally some arty people will visit.
The first branch arranged the meeting here, obviously to create an elegant atmosphere where no one would be disturbed.
There is snow falling outside and tea is brewing inside, which is not a bad place to go.
As soon as the car arrived, a young man dressed rather uniquely walked up to inquire with a polite smile.
When Chang Nian handed him the car keys, Ji Li had already gotten off the car from the other side.
The wooden building with warm lights in front of it occupies a large area. The decoration looks high-end yet elegant, giving people a luxurious but not gaudy feeling.
At the same time, a young man with handsome appearance and exquisite attire walked towards him with a smile on his face.
He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, but the words came first before the person came near.
"I have admired the name of Store Manager Ji for a long time, and I finally got to meet him today."
The young man stood in front of Ji Li, his smile unabated, he took off the glove on his right hand and extended his palm very respectfully.
Ji Li looked at the smiling face of the young man in front of him, then looked at the other person's hand, ignored it, and just asked lightly:
"You must be Lan Yu."
Lan Yu was not surprised that Ji Li could recognize him at a glance, and just nodded in agreement.
At this time, Chang Nian had also followed and came to stand beside Ji Li, observing him.
"Ms. Chang is also very generous. The seventh branch is really full of outstanding people and talents..."
Ji Li interrupted him coldly before he could finish his words:
"Lead the way."
Faced with Ji Li's rudeness, Lan Yu was not embarrassed. He just adjusted his glasses, put on his gloves and made a gesture of greeting.
Lan Yu led the way, and the journey was smooth, walking through the corridor of the teahouse and walking deeper.
About three minutes later, Lan Yu stopped in front of a door. Warm air came from the crack in the door, carrying a light scent of tea.
There were seven or eight pairs of shoes placed at the door, and it seemed that a lot of people had gathered inside.
"Although you came an hour early, the others are more anxious to come than you are. Please come in."
Lan Yu has always been very good at etiquette, and he is also a very decent person.
Ji Li glanced at him and pressed his hand on the door panel, but did not pull away immediately, but said calmly:
"Lan Yu, I have heard your name.
You have interfered in the affairs of my store several times, but this time I will respect Li and spare your life.
But as long as you dare to appear in my sight again, I want you to die. "
Ji Li's tone was calm, as if talking about homely matters.
But the red color in his eyes, which represented evil spirits, released a strange supernatural aura accompanied by murderous intent.
Lan Yu subconsciously clenched his palms, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and after a moment he nodded and responded:
"Thank you very much, Manager Ji, for showing mercy..."
Ji Li raised his hand and opened the door. For a moment, the six people in the room turned their heads and looked outside the room.
The room is not too big, but it is not too small either.
Six strangers, men and women, were divided into two tables, looking at him in the same posture.
Ji Li looked at the ground paved with rattan mats. He took off his shoes and stepped on it, finding a corner.
Chang Nian on the other side also followed and sat down next to him.
The two participants from the seventh branch were seated like this, which meant that the store clerks for this mission were basically here.
The only thing missing is Li Yi and Xu Nan from the first branch.
With the arrival of Ji Li and Chang Nian, the six people in the room began to whisper.
"That long-haired man must be the manager of the seventh branch. I heard he's very powerful..."
"I heard from the store manager that he killed Gu Xingjian twice in a row during the last mission. He was so terrifying that he was inhuman."
"We were unlucky enough to be selected for the four-star promotion mission, but with the first and seventh store managers in charge, do we have a chance to survive?"
"Shh...
Please keep your voice down, I heard that this store manager Ji is a ruthless character.
Last time, Pan Ting from our branch was killed before the mission even started because he said the wrong thing! "
After the last person said this, everyone present fell silent and did not even dare to have the courage to look back at Ji Li.
The atmosphere that was originally relatively lively has now become completely silent.
At this time, Lan Yu happened to come to the front of the room, knocked on the wall panel, and said softly:
“Thank you for participating in this conference analysis session.
Due to special reasons of our store manager, he will not come to participate.
As for deputy store manager Xu Nan, there are some mental abnormalities and he cannot participate in the meeting normally.
Therefore, I will host this meeting. "
After Lan Yu said this, he showed a stack of documents on hand, glanced around and said:
“Nong Yueke is the key figure in this mission.
Your first goal is to get close to Nong Yueke's family.
As an uncommon surname, I searched for 17 people with the same name in this city.
After on-site visits and investigations, we finally identified 5 people who had the potential to become clues.
The information of these five people has been distributed to everyone, and you can check it yourself. "
