Bai Shu looked at the contract and remained silent for a long time.
When Nicks suspected that he had said something wrong, he said "hmm" in a calm tone:
"I ordered wine there last time. I called the boss there first and asked him to prepare the things."
"yes."
Nicks responded, driving slowly and steadily.
…
Families in the military compound were reunited, and the idle officers went home early to have dinner with their relatives. During the two days approaching the Chinese New Year, every family seemed to be lively and happy.
Bai Lingyu didn't look sideways after getting out of the car. He rubbed his brows tiredly and walked toward his residence when he suddenly paused.
There is an exquisite gift box at the door.
The military compound is strictly guarded, and only colleagues or family members of colleagues can enter, but who would give gifts without seeing anyone and just throw them at the door?
Bai Lingyu picked it up in confusion and looked inside to find three elegant wooden wine boxes. The name of the wine was engraved on the top in small golden letters.
"These three bottles of wine..."
Bai Lingyu slowly frowned. He was very familiar with wines and knew his own wine collection very well.
These three bottles of wine have the same brand as the three bottles of wine he gave Baizhu back then! Moreover, they are all top-notch wines. It is impossible that I picked these three bottles by chance, let alone placed them at his door.
"Little skills?"
Bai Lingyu woke up with a start, raised his tired eyelids and looked around.
no one.
Bai Lingyu clutched the rope of the gift box tightly, holding the bottom of the box to prevent it from being exposed, and ran out of the military compound.
"Were there any strange vehicles or suspicious people stopping or passing by the compound today?"
The soldier on guard was stunned, and said hesitantly: "No. As the New Year is approaching, there are almost no people on the streets, and there are very few visitors. Most of them will not come until after the New Year... What's wrong, Major General?"
He saw Bai Lingyu suddenly lowering his eyes and felt uneasily that he had said the wrong thing.
"It's okay, the surveillance video in front of my house, please give me a copy of this week's video."
It's too obvious today.
The soldier did not dare to say anything and immediately stepped towards the guard post behind him.
Bai Lingyu was waiting outside the post, looking at the gift box in his hand, a little lost.
He remembered what Cheng Youyue said to him when he suddenly visited during the day:
[Baizhu seems to have some concerns about you. She has been looking up something called "Alice" for the past few years. I wonder if you have heard of it?
[In addition to these, she also found some clues about the fall of the Second City. It seemed that there was an internal loophole. This drug called "Alice" began to spread at that time, even those who were with Baizhu Hunters are all implicated in this.
[She seems to suspect that "Alice" is related to you... Do you know these things? She currently has no conclusive evidence and is still under investigation. If you are really not involved with "Alice", you'd better clarify it as soon as possible. 】
Bai Lingyu took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the gift box containing wine looked familiar, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.
Isn't this the winery near the military zone?
"Major General, Major General, you..."
The soldier who had just come out with the USB flash drive was dumbfounded, watching Bai Lingyu run away, and finally shut up and did not dare to make any noise.
It's better to wait until the major general comes back.
"Major General Bai? What are you doing..."
The winery owner looked at Bai Lingyu who ran into the store in shock. He was interrupted by the latter before he finished speaking:
"Are these three bottles of wine from your place?"
The owner of the winery was stunned for a moment, and then he understood when he looked at the gift box that Bai Lingyu held up: "This... was indeed bought from me. They are three bottles of the best wine. I was very impressed when I sold them today. "
"today?"
The winery owner nodded, and Bai Lingyu immediately asked, "Who is the person who bought it? What does he look like? Do you know his address and whereabouts?"
"Major General Bai, this winery is close to the military area. You know the rules. There is no surveillance at all."
The boss was confused: "But the person who bought the wine was a young lady wearing sunglasses, followed by a young man who looked like a bodyguard. When she left, she said that if anyone came back to her with these three bottles of wine, she would give them to her. The other party... I didn't expect it to be you."
As he spoke, he took out a test tube-like glass bottle from the drawer of the cash register with a rolled up note inside, and handed it to Bai Lingyu with both hands:
"That's it."
Bai Lingyu took it and saw the label on the glass bottle:
【Lris】
Alice? !
Bai Lingyu recognized the label and quickly suppressed the shock in his eyes because someone else was there. He calmly opened the glass tube and took out the note.
[The second generation of Fusion Potion has been released, so make plans early. Also, there is no need to pursue. 】
Has the second generation of pollution fusion potion appeared? He has not received any news about these things. It seems that they have not spread too far. All goods entering the city must be strictly inspected immediately to control this thing.
Bai Lingyu was familiar with arranging various affairs in the outer city. He had an arrangement in his mind instantly, and his eyes rested on the words "no need to pursue".
At least... at least the person is okay.
[Alice] He did refuse the experiment on the fusion potion, but he did not stop the research on the potion. He even helped cover it up when Baizhu discovered that the prevention and treatment was wrong. This is all true.
Bai Shu is not stupid, she can see clearly: even if he did not participate, Bai Lingyu still had the fault of "tacit approval". The commander's "tacit approval" is very likely to be a disaster for a city. Even if the main reason for the fall of the second city is not [Alice], this matter cannot be underestimated.
Xiao Shu should still suspect that I was involved, but his willingness to tell me the whereabouts of the second generation Alice proves that he still believes in me and is not completely discouraged... Bai Lingyu thought and put away the note.
If you don't want to look for him, then don't. Ten years have passed and the child is already in his twenties. Besides, he is the father in name, but he hasn't actually provided much help. What can he say after meeting him? Those who celebrate Chinese New Year should be satisfied if they can get three bottles of wine as gifts.
Bai Lingyu gathered his thoughts, put the note and the glass tube into his coat pocket, thanked his boss and asked for confidentiality before leaving.
It's snowing lightly outside.
As the New Year approaches, the streets near the compound are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the city residents are doing their best to welcome the New Year, the first period of war easing, as if the haze under the red moon can dissipate under these brighter decorations.
The communicator buzzed.
"Major General, the military headquarters sent a notice: Lieutenant Colonel Li Lingqing has led his people to the outer city. They have already rushed to the headquarters and should be arriving soon. Do you need me to send a car to pick you up first?"
Adjutant Xu was pierced through the heart by a flowstone attacked by an alien in a more dangerous battle, and was killed on the spot. His replacement is now the newly appointed Adjutant Xiaolin.
This battle lasted too long and many people died.
I thought I could get peace in the city, but I didn't expect that someone would take the opportunity to disturb the situation so quickly. There are also people from the inner city who keep coming to play tricks and join in the fun.
Bai Lingyu calmed down and said with a smile: "Come, let me see what kind of giant Buddha is going to be descended from our small temple in the outer city."
