The messy scene in the living room had been cleaned up by the smart butler, but r was unwilling to return to the live broadcast camera. Even if the live broadcast platform argued with him about the contract and asked him for liquidated damages, he still accepted it.
Just when he made up his mind, a communication wave penetrated the wind and rain and penetrated in. The person who contacted him was Yuan Fei, a young man whom his teacher Gong Qi had been cultivating in recent years. This person is very lively and reliable in what he says and does. However, R doesn't like him. There's no reason. At most, it's just that he's the same sex.
In the past few years, Yuan Fei had everything going smoothly under the guidance of Gong Qi, the deputy secretary-general. That is to say, the last time he went back to Xiacheng, something went wrong and he came back in despair.
R was happy for this for a few minutes. Now thinking about it, maybe it would be more balanced to add a chicken drumstick to Ronan before blackening him?
It was okay not to think about Ronan, but he was in a bad mood when he thought about that person. For a moment, R wanted to refuse the call because he was doing a live broadcast. But considering that every move he made now was the center of attention, and his temporary absence could not be concealed from anyone, he could only answer the call with a toothache expression and said "hello" lukewarmly.
"Senior Brother Lin, I wanted to contact you just now, but I was concerned that you were live broadcasting..."
R's tooth hurts even more. Why are you staring at me so straight? To snitch on me in the future? There is such a hypocritical respectful address, who knows what kind of bird is on the other side?
No matter what, it is unlikely that Yuan Fei will start a video with r to verify the degree of respect behind the title. Of course, the same is true for r. The two communicated in a false manner using traditional communication methods.
"Senior Brother Lin, the General Assembly just held a joint meeting. The president, vice-presidents, and secretaries-general all participated. But the teacher is still absent..."
r frowned. "Teacher, teacher" is called affectionately. Have you confirmed your relationship? You’ve never even served tea, and you’re not embarrassed to talk about it?
He felt unhappy, and R was not in the mood to talk to him, so he said coldly: "Teacher is in retreat, so of course he doesn't have time. Who is a great power at the extraordinary level, who doesn't understand the secrets in months? If you have a meeting, you have to go out to retreat, and in the end What can be done?"
"But this involves the latest stance on Xia City. I heard that someone has proposed at the meeting to fully ease the relationship with Xia City and jointly develop something. Once it takes shape, it will be difficult to change it. Teacher..."
r felt a little tight in his chest after hearing that. Photos of Jin Tong's headband are still going viral. Can the group of people from the Association stop trying to get money first? Even if you spend money, you still have to spend it with life, right?
Well, looking at it from another perspective, there will always be a bunch of old people who bury their necks in trouble and work so hard, probably because they want to prolong their "life with money to spend".
A groundbreaking practice theory does have the opportunity to do this.
He thought so, but he was absolutely unwilling to echo Yuan Fei's remarks. He immediately showed off his senior brother style and reprimanded: "You haven't been working in the association for a day, and you still have a position. What kind of gossip are you spreading? What does the association want to do, what does the teacher want to do, and do you want you to report it? You should learn more from the teacher, stay in seclusion for a few more days, and practice and gain enlightenment is the right thing!"
It feels so much better to have someone to vent your anger on.
No matter how scheming and powerful Yuan Fei was, he couldn't get over it for a while when he was so harshly criticized. He replied harshly, "Brother, I'm busy with the live broadcast, so I won't bother you." and hung up the phone.
Now, the relationship between the two parties is likely to be tense for a while. r doesn’t care much anymore. With his family behind him, he can overwhelm Yuan Fei in terms of starting point, achievements, and heritage, including his relationship with his teacher Gong Qi, and common interests. His opponent also has a slight advantage in age, and a little bit more The "potential" that has not been realized is really a waste of time!
But whatever you say, some people say something that only confuses people's minds. After being reminded by Yuan Feiyi, R's train of thought was somewhat deflected.
He vaguely knew the reason why his teacher wanted to "retreat". Some time ago, he was ordered to hire professionals to search for the real body of Snake Whisper's flesh fetus. It seems that the teacher made a trap on Snake Whisper's missing soul body, which can bring back the face lost in Xia City. .
However, Snake Yu was cunning, wise, and cautious, and he hid his true flesh body very tightly. His mission was not completed, and he was originally worried about being criticized, but unexpectedly nothing happened.
Gong Qi seemed to have really gone into seclusion. There was no reply from him for months and months, and he had reached the point of inescaping. Only the nutrition cabin responsible for life support was still running.
r is actually a little worried. After all, Gong Qi made the retreat that was supposed to be a cover up real, and the important things involving his face and vital interests into a fictitious one, which was quite inconsistent with his past well-planned and harsh character. , it felt like something unexpected had happened.
So at the very beginning, when it came to the Dripping Sword and Watering Can Man, R refused to let anything go. He even continued to expand his influence because he wanted to explore the situation in Xia City.
The whole world knows about his relationship with Gong Qi. If the teacher suffers a big loss there, the other party's response, especially the response from someone like Gao Tianshi, will probably bring out some clues.
The problem is that from the beginning to now, Xia Cheng's reaction has been in line with the norm. Everyone is tearing each other apart, talking to each other, greeting their parents and relatives, and also caring about some bottom lines, so as not to really cause big trouble at the level of extraordinary species.
Everything was so normal, and Gong Qi's nearly invincible extraordinary appearance in the past one or two decades brought too much safety inertia, so that R gradually forgot his original intention and fell deeply into his last trap. In my career as a gossip and troll, until now.
People's thoughts are always in series, and the previously forgotten links were only temporarily buried in the dust of emotions. Now Ronan is shocking the world with his talent and magnificent theories; he has taken out photos of golden tung headbands and other stimulations. Sexual information to show one's prowess; and to compete with the ghost eyes in the abyss, calmly and with ease...
The connection of these circumstances that had never been thought of before suddenly raised the world's, including R's own, assessment of Ronan's status and abilities. Some plots that had never been thought of before were picked up one after another with the thoughts that blew away the dust, like an iron rope, coldly lying in front of him, reminding him of its existence.
"Nn, did the teacher really get hit by a tripping horse rope?"
r still hasn't thought about the worst case scenario, after all, the data of the life support system can't lie. But as long as he went through Gong Qi's helpless and miserable look in his mind, he would inevitably tremble in his heart.
Well, he was overthinking it, right?
What if it’s not?
r can’t stand it any longer. If it’s really a “tripping the rope” situation, how much loss Gong Qi will suffer is still second, the news is blocked due to “retreat”, and then the consequences of hitting the wall again are the consequences. Unbearable outside.
Gong Qi couldn't bear it, and he and his family couldn't bear it.
The more he thought about it, the less interesting it became. He subconsciously reached out and touched the emergency communication equipment he carried with him. According to Gong Qi, if there are really urgent and important matters, this communicator can be used to wake them up from their special state and get in touch.
It’s not like I’ve done it before, but I couldn’t find a reason that was enough. Now that Jin Tong has been killed, the cage theory has emerged, and even the Yuan District is unsafe... all these things come from that damn Ronan, so this should be "urgent and important".
r finally stomped his feet, almost closing his eyes, and went to the study room to say hello to the live broadcast platform. He did not dare to follow the comments anymore. He turned off the live broadcast and rushed out of the room as if fleeing. He went straight out and started the car, heading towards Gong Qi. Driving to the secret retreat location.
Emergency communications can of course be carried out over long distances, but some words and matters are better communicated in person. This is a matter of attitude.
At this time in Tancheng, that is, at four or five o'clock in the morning, due to the passing of the hurricane, heavy rain poured down, and it could be said that you could not see your fingers. r was not in the mood to play the night bus game, so he directly entered the automatic driving mode. The headlights tore through the darkness on the road and moved forward at high speed along the magnetic track road.
But in this case, the last twenty minutes on the road were very difficult. Does he want to listen to boring news like "'Kuala' quickly escalated to a Category 3 hurricane, and it is suspected that factors other than meteorological conditions may have affected it"?
Therefore, even though R screamed in his heart, "I don't want to watch it," he still honestly turned on the audio and video system with his finger, connected to the live broadcast platform, and watched the latest live broadcast of the round conference room in Xia City.
Of course, all barrages and other comments will be blocked!
Then R saw Ronan on the podium, his eyes half asleep and his eyelids trembling slightly. This scene is not much different from before, that is, it is more focused.
But it's weird. At the moment when r's eyes were on the podium, Ronan over there also opened his eyes, and his eyes were focused on the camera, more like on r's eyes.
R's heart thumped, and there was an inexplicable cold current. The blood pumped by the heart spurted out, soaking half of his chest with coldness, and there was also a tingling sensation from being rubbed by coarse sand.
What's going on here? Has his fear of Ronan reached this level?
The car speeding through the wind and rain was not affected by R's mood and continued to drive strictly according to the established route. The smart butler will play the information that is most worthy of the owner's attention based on the preset priority.
It just so happens that there is news about the "Kuala" hurricane. The relevant situation is further updated: "'Kuala' is predicted to make landfall on the west coast of Nadu Island in 20 minutes. The current maximum wind force in the center is 197 kilometers per hour. There will be huge waves in the early stage. It is possible to cause a level 'surge', and some marine aberrations will have an impact on the coastal defense lines such as Nadu, Pala, New Ark, etc. We cannot rule out the possibility of B-level or above aberrations appearing in wind areas..."
r knocked on the steering wheel, feeling a little irritated. The route he took was just within the influence of "Running Tide". Once you are unlucky and encounter a few aberrant species that come ashore, it will be really disgusting.
However, from what I heard from the news, it seems that the escalation of Cyclone Kuala may be caused by the influence of strong abnormal strains in the wind area. This kind of powerful beast that can temporarily affect extreme weather has not appeared in the surrounding waters for a long time.
I don’t know what it looks like.
