Chapter 248 I Can Understand, but I Don’t Accept
Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction, but even so, Chen Ke feels that his experience after time travel is just like a novel.
Isn’t this too coincidental? Shrilie's last name happens to be the same as Miles, who disappeared from the West King Building, and her father is actually Pankya.
Of course, Shrili didn't know what the relationship between Chen Ke and her father was. She was extremely anxious now, and she just wanted to find her father, and hoped that his father could settle everything.
However, Chen Ke had roughly guessed Pan Kya's current situation. As an executive of the Si Group, he had been removed from the company. And because he had managed too many black activities for the consortium before, it was natural that he should be silenced.
Pankiya himself should be aware of the consortium's behavior. After all, he had helped them do this before, so he hid early and waited for an opportunity to escape.
Chen Ke didn't know why Pan Kiya was removed from the consortium, but he was at least certain that Pan Kiya was in Opportunity City.
Those who do dirty things will be dirty sooner or later. Who will God spare?
Chen Ke and Shreli have no grudges. They had murderous intentions before, and they just wanted to keep their secrets. Now that she is in trouble, Chen Ke doesn't want to add insult to injury.
Shreli's sports car was very pleasant to drive. He could reach 100 yards in one second with just a slight step on the accelerator. The luxurious interior also amazed him. He looked at the car logo in the center of the steering wheel and realized that he was driving it. It's Jaguar.
"Tell me about your father, Shreli, what kind of person is he?" Chen Ke asked.
Shreli didn't speak. Chen Ke glanced at her and found that she was leaning in the chair, her head tilted to one side, and she was fast asleep.
Chen Ke sighed. Shrili's physical strength had probably reached its limit. He didn't know how long she had been beaten by those people. It was amazing that she could survive until now.
Although he didn't want to wake up Shreli, without her, Chen Ke wouldn't know where the lakeside cabin was. Then he stretched out his left hand and shook Srily's shoulder.
Shreli shuddered and bounced up from her seat. She took off her glasses and looked at Chen Ke with a puzzled look on her face.
"Did I just fall asleep?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes, you fell asleep very deeply and very quickly. I don't even know how you fell asleep." Chen Ke replied.
"Oh... I'm sorry, Link, I... feel a little uncomfortable..." Shrili said.
"It's not your fault... Do you need to go to the hospital first? Check internal medicine or something." Chen Ke asked.
"Are you concerned about me? Lin?" Shreli smiled.
"You have to take care of yourself, Shreli." Chen Ke said.
"I can handle it, Link. I've experienced crazier things... Do you want to hear them?" Shreli asked with a smile.
"Not interested." Chen Ke said.
"When I meet my father, everything will be over. He can handle everything. He is very powerful. In the entire Opportunity City, even Newton City, his words count! Moreover, it is just right for him to meet me. You..." Shrili said.
"When you meet your father, I hope you will be mentally prepared..." Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
"You seem to be trying to hint at something? Hum..." Shreli laughed. She completely misunderstood what Chen Ke meant.
Chen Ke did not answer and urged Slaili to tell him what to do next.
He had many things to ask Pankia, and he finally had a chance to figure out the answers to everything from the beginning to the present.
The car was speeding through the streets in the dark night. A straight interstate highway stretched to the skyline in the suburbs of Opportunity City. Black mountains rose one after another. The forest under the mountain swayed in the wind under the moonlight, like a sea of leaves.
After telling Chen Ke the specific location of the cabin, Shrili fell asleep again. Her skin, as gentle and smooth as white jade, seemed to be covered with a layer of light blue under the moonlight shining in from outside the windshield. halo.
Chen Ke believed that Shreli must have spent a lot of money on skin care, and she did not wear makeup tonight, which was completely different from the feeling she gave Chen Ke when they first met.
There was no exaggerated smoky makeup, lip gloss, or frivolous clothes. If Shreli gave him the impression of a disco punk girl before, then today's Shreli, in a silent and sleeping state, looked more like someone from Disney. A purple-haired princess from a cartoon.
The wheels ran over rotten branches and wet mud. The woods were too dense for the moonlight to penetrate. Chen Ke could only drive slowly under the light of the headlights.
In the dark forest, dots of fireflies flew leisurely, the light of their tails flickering on and off, and in their ears, the chirping of insects that had not been heard in the city for a long time could be heard.
After driving two kilometers deep into the forest on a winding dirt road, our eyes suddenly opened up, and a large lake came into view.
There are many fireflies gathered on the lake, flying in the air, and the moon is reflected in the lake, magnified countless times.
In the open space by the lake, Chen Ke discovered a two-story wooden house. A simple dock was built in front of the wooden house, and a wooden boat was tied there and floated with the waves.
Chen Ke parked the car outside the wooden house. He checked inside with his spiritual vision. There was no one there. It seemed that Pankya did not regard this cabin as one of his hiding places.
After Slaili woke up, she immediately opened the door and got out of the car. Although she had no psychic vision, she guessed from the dark situation of the cabin that her father was not here.
Chen Ke came up behind Shreli, patted her shoulder comfortingly, and suggested that she take a rest in this small house, and it would not be too late to find her father after spending the night.
"I hope there are medical kits and food in this room. You need rest and treatment. Let's continue tomorrow." Chen Ke advised. He knew that Shreli's body had reached its limit.
As a girl in her 20s, Shreli was able to stand up and walk here after being beaten by four men for so long. Shreli's physique can be said to be very strong.
Of course, it is far from the level of Lucina and Diana.
Shreli's expression looked very lost, but she misunderstood Chen Ke's meaning. She looked at Chen Ke with blurred eyes, thinking that she would spend a night similar to Hollywood blockbusters.
After entering the 21st century, Hollywood films have been very self-restrained. A lot of passionate scenes between men and women have been cut, and most of them focus on the emotional changes of characters.
In the 70s and 80s, in the most popular muscle action movies in the United Federation, before every big battle, the male and female protagonists would have a blood-pumping "action" scene, which is commonly known as "gun point".
"Cannon point" means "It's time to fight the boss, it's time to have a fight." A handsome man and a beautiful woman living in the same room, what's wrong with the audience if nothing happens?
But Chen Ke doesn't need a cannon point.
"You'd better take a rest. I'll help you keep watch outside. Those killers won't give up. If your father leaks this place to them, we'll be in trouble." Chen Ke said.
"My father won't tell anyone about this place. This place carries all my memories from childhood to adulthood... Link, can you help me to the bedside to curse?" Shreli smiled and took Chen Ke's hand and walked into the house.
Chen Ke followed into the house. The electricity of this small house depends entirely on the generator placed outside, and there is a fireplace in the house, which can be added with firewood for heating.
There are many photo frames hanging on the walls of the house, most of which are photos of a man taking a little girl fishing and planting trees.
That man should be Pankia...
Even a ruthless person won't eat his own cubs. Even the worst people have families and childhoods. He can understand what Pankia did to him. After all, that was his job. He needed to complete his errands to make money and let Shreli live like a queen.
But he couldn't accept it.
"You want to kill me... Pankia, so I'm going to kill you... If your daughter isn't smart enough, don't blame me..." Chen Ke said secretly.
