Chapter 117 Sorry, I'm late
Chapter 117 Sorry, I'm late
Qiao Surong acted as if he didn't hear what Yuan Yongkai said. He held Meng Zhiling's hand tightly, turned around and ignored Yuan Yongkai.
"I'm sorry, Mengmeng, I'm late!" Qiao Surong held her little face in one hand with heartache. Fortunately, fortunately, nothing serious happened.
Meng Zhiling shook her head helplessly. "I'm fine, right? Why are you so nervous?"
"Then let's go home!" Qiao Surong said gently, holding Meng Zhiling's hand.
Meng Zhiling also stood still. She understood that he could ignore Yuan Yongkai, but as his "benefactor" and friend, she could not treat Yuan Yongkai with the same attitude.
"Yongkai, thank you!" Meng Zhiling smiled sweetly at Yuan Yongkai.
"I've said it before, there's no need to say thank you between you and me!" Yuan Yongkai also smiled gentlemanly, his voice flat and ordinary.
They glanced at Qiao Surong and looked at each other with hatred, "Qiao Surong, don't forget the oath you made in front of me!"
"Don't forget your own duty, Team Leader Yuan!" Qiao Surong raised his eyebrows, not looking threatened at all, but rather feeling justified.
In the flash of their eyes, Meng Zhiling felt embarrassed again. Didn't Yuan Yongkai say that they were childhood friends? Why did they act like enemies meeting, full of jealousy every time they met?
"Okay, Zhiling, go back and have a good rest. Pay more attention to any abnormalities around you during this period!" Yuan Yongkai was the first to break the awkwardness. Just like Qiao Surong just now, he chose to ignore Qiao Surong, then turned to Meng Zhiling and said gently.
After saying that, he turned and left.
In the past, he always watched Meng Zhiling walk away, but from now on, he was afraid that the two would have to switch roles every time.
This time, it was her turn to watch his back as he left. Even if she didn't have him in her heart, even if she didn't have any love for him, he still didn't want her to feel pressured and still wanted to give her a carefree love environment!
"Meng Meng..." From the way home to when they got home, Qiao Surong finally spoke his first words. Of course, Meng Zhiling was silent all the way.
He wasn't angry that Qiao Surong was late, he was just a little angry at him for being such a jealous person. At the same time, he was thinking about the identity of the person who attacked him today or the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Hmm?" Meng Zhiling responded lightly while taking off her coat.
"I love you!" Qiao Surong didn't know what to say. He wanted to say sorry, wanted to explain why he didn't have time to save her, wanted to ask about the identities of those people, but no matter how much he said, it was not as meaningful as the three words "I love you".
"I know, and I love you too. Don't blame yourself or feel stressed about what happened today. I'm fine, right?"
Meng Zhiling stood in front of Qiao Surong, turned around, and said happily.
Qiao Surong nodded, a wry smile on his face.
"Okay, don't be so sad. This time it's a blessing in disguise for me. I feel like I'm about to make a breakthrough. How about we fight now? Maybe I can get promoted two levels right away!" Meng Zhiling raised her head, looked at Qiao Surong eagerly, and encouraged him with her eyes.
"No, I'm afraid you might beat me to death by accident. I still want to live for two more years!" Qiao Surong immediately took a step back and waved his hand. He must be mentally ill to agree to her.
"Mengmeng, do you know who or which forces attacked you today?" After calming down, Qiao Surong asked seriously.
Meng Zhiling shook her head. "I don't know. I have no idea. I heard from Yongkai that they were also attacked. What about you? Or you guys?"
Meng Zhiling frowned and asked worriedly. She knew that Qiao Surong was mysterious and powerful, and there must be a powerful and mysterious organization behind him, so she asked this question.
Qiao Surong nodded, "We were indeed attacked suddenly, but unfortunately, we didn't catch the operator and found any clues at all."
"It's obvious then. The attackers were definitely coming for me. They attacked you just to buy time. They've been following me for a long time, and today they saw I was alone, so they probably attacked me. But I have a lot of enemies, and I don't know who they are!"
Meng Zhiling raised her head and looked at Qiao Surong innocently. She was telling the truth. This time, with such a powerful attack, she was really not sure who was behind it.
"Why do you have so many enemies?" Qiao Surong looked at her with a smile. He knew that she was arrogant, but even so, she would not be in danger of death.
At first he suspected Rose, formerly known as Xue Rou, because there had always been a lot of grievances between them. After all, the last time in London, Meng Meng had completely angered the two sisters, so it was natural for them to come and seek revenge now.
But later she thought that it was impossible for her to cause such a big commotion on her own.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe those people are jealous and envious of me because I am more capable, prettier, and luckier than them." Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly.
"cut."
"What? You still don't believe it? Don't you think that ever since we announced our relationship, my enemies have spread all over the world? Don't you think that I have everything now that I have you? It's like I own the whole world?" Meng Zhiling's sudden sweet words scared Qiao Surong so much that his heart skipped a beat.
But then he hugged her tightly in his arms. Fortunately, she was fine today.
"Yan Wang, from now on you must send someone or go yourself to protect your sister-in-law. If she loses a hair, I will hold her accountable. Other unimportant matters can be put aside for now. I suspect that this period of time is not very peaceful. Also, find someone who can practice with your sister-in-law to practice with her so that she can break through herself as soon as possible. In the future, when we are not around her, her ability to protect herself will be stronger." In a small room covered with graffiti, Qiao Surong kicked the beer bottle on the ground, looked around with disgust, and then ordered Yan Wang.
"Yes, boss!"
"The boss is here?" Qiao Surong was about to leave when another man opened the door and came in. When he saw Qiao Surong, he was not very surprised. He just raised his eyelids and greeted him symbolically.
It can be seen that Qiao Surong is not particularly strict with his subordinates. The reason is simple: they always know what they should and should not do, and never break the rules.
"Gu Mu, what about the information I asked you to check last time? Is your sister-in-law from there?" Qiao Surong looked at Gu Mu, his tangled brows never relaxed. He was very nervous about the result, with some expectation, but also some fear.
"Boss, do you believe that things like possessing a dead body and resurrecting the dead exist? That's even more terrifying than controlling zombies!" Gu Mu looked at him expressionlessly. The next second, he continued to pick up the cold dishes in his hand, and then poured himself a glass of soju.
"Tell me about it." Qiao Surong looked at the bubbles in the wine glass in his hand and seemed very interested.
"My sister-in-law is indeed the same person as before, the legend. Later, due to a strange combination of chance, she became the current Meng Zhiling. Although her name and soul have not changed, her body, appearance and identity have become another person." Gu Mu's reports are always so bland and boring.
No matter how shocking this incident was, no matter how huge the impact it had, it still didn't arouse his interest at all.
The only thing that could arouse his interest was wine, and the stronger the concentration of the wine, the better he liked it.
"Thank you for your hard work. You guys have your meal. I'm leaving. Just remember everyone's duties." After saying this, Qiao Surong pushed open the door and walked out of the rooftop attic.
No one would have thought that the five most powerful masters who once dominated the world of supernatural powers are now living in seclusion in the city, some even disguising themselves as "otakus" and living in such an environment.
In fact, they also have their own headquarters, which is spotlessly clean. There are all kinds of high-tech that are not available anywhere else in the world. There is nothing you can't imagine there, but Yan Wang and Gu Mu resolutely chose this place in order to adapt to the group life in the city.
The second reason is that there are Huanxue and Mingtian, a couple who show their affection every day and abuse the dog. The most speechless thing is that they never give the dog food to eat. They are simply unscrupulous, so these two grown men moved out.
As soon as Qiao Surong walked out of the attic, he called Meng Zhiling. Meng Zhiling was in class and didn't answer the call. She just sent a text message and said she would get back to him later.
This semester, Meng Zhiling has spent much more time in school than last semester. However, this semester, Wu Xiwen and Hua Yiru are gone, and Yang Lan and Li Yao have to run to the company after classes every day, and also have to study with He Sui. They are even busier than herself, so she seems particularly bored.
So I can only calmly treat college life as a tutorial and memory, and relive those beautiful years of youth.
As soon as the get out of class was over, Meng Zhiling called Qiao Surong back, but as soon as she picked up the phone, she heard a woman panting.
"Ah, Brother Rong, hurry up, you still have the mind to answer the phone at this time." When Meng Zhiling heard this, her mind automatically imagined a disgusting picture of a bitch in heat. She felt a chill and almost threw the phone to the ground.
It is really disrespectful to myself that I could tolerate such a voice entering my ears.
"Hey, young lady, please be quieter, it makes Mr. Wang next door hard!" Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes at the air. With such a trick and such a level, he actually wanted to create a misunderstanding in front of her?
Let me tell you, she simply trusts Qiao Surong's taste.
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Surong said to the phone with a dark face. Judging from the tone, it was unclear whether he was asking Meng Zhiling or the cousin who just called herself Brother Rong?
"Qiao Surong, I give you ten minutes to show up in front of me, otherwise, I will make the person next to you disappear permanently!" Meng Zhiling threatened coldly on the phone. Without waiting for Qiao Surong's response, she hung up the phone immediately and looked at the quiet lake angrily.
Spring is coming soon, and some willow trees by the lake have begun to sprout, looking so green that it makes people feel very happy.
