Ding-
The elevator stopped at the 17th floor, and Moonlight, with the Full Moon sword hanging behind her waist, walked out of the elevator. Outside was a spacious and bright passage, with the floor paved with deep-sea black steel rock, and under the illumination of the top lights, it seemed to be flowing with a golden luster.
The heels of Moonlight's leather boots tapped on the ground that was flowing with golden light, creating a wonderful rhythm.
Just in front of her, she saw an old man wearing plain dark grey clothes and trousers, with his hair combed back and a streak of silver hair at his temples. He had his hands behind his back, looking very dignified, with no anger or smile on his face, and he just stared at the moonlight calmly.
Yue Guang stopped and looked at the old man with her cold but expressionless face, and said, "Get out of the way, unless you are Ding Chuang."
"I'm not Mr. Ding."
"My name is Xu Lai."
"Miss, can you please give me a favor and leave?"
Xu Lai said calmly that he happened to be in Ding Chuang's office in the morning, and Ding Zi Yan ran out again. Ding Chuang wanted him to catch his daughter back.
But just when Xu Lai was about to leave, he received a message from the lobby reception desk, saying that someone was causing trouble in the lobby, and one of them had already taken the elevator upstairs.
So Xu Lai asked Ding Chuang to stay in the study and not come out, and he went to the passage to intercept him. Unexpectedly, the person who came out of the elevator was a young and beautiful woman.
However, Xu Lai did not underestimate his opponent just because she was young and a woman.
On the contrary, he appears relaxed on the outside, but is actually very alert on the inside.
Xu Lai didn't think that the other party would not know where this was. Knowing that this was Ding's headquarters, he still dared to break in directly. Such a person is either a madman or a master.
Obviously, this cold and beautiful woman belongs to the latter.
On the other side, Yue Guang saw the old man advising him to leave, and laughed: "Give you face, why should I give you face, I don't even know you."
Xu Lai felt slightly embarrassed and coughed lightly: "So, Miss, can you tell me what you want to see Mr. Ding about?"
Moonlight said in a deep voice: "Why don't you ask the eldest daughter of your Ding family what she did about this problem?"
Xu Lai's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly recalled that the reception desk had just given a description of the two people who were causing trouble. One of them looked very much like Tianyang, a young man he had met in a seaside town a few days ago.
Now, the woman in front of him said frankly that she was related to Ding Ziyan. Xu Lai was almost certain that the person who stopped the guard downstairs should be Tianyang.
At that time, he felt that the young man was not simple. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Excellent people will always have equally excellent friends around them. In other words, even if the woman in front of him is not as good as Tianyang, her strength is probably about the same.
and.
They were coming for Ding Ziyan, which made Xu Lai feel angry. He had warned Ding Chuang to keep an eye on his daughter, but in the end, this young lady still provoked Tianyang and some powerful characters!
"In that case, young lady, could you please wait here for a moment while I go in and pass the message?"
Seeing that the old man was being polite, Yue Guang nodded and said, "I'll give you five minutes."
Xu Lai nodded slightly and turned away. A moment later, he came to Ding Chuang's office.
Ding Chuang, who was wearing white clothes today, saw Xu Lai coming into the room and said with a chuckle, "Thank you, Old Xu. Have you sent the people away?"
Xu Lai said calmly: "Not yet, the other party is still outside, I asked her to wait."
Ding Chuang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why? Is this someone you know?"
"That's not the case."
Xu Lai said solemnly: "Mr. Ding, the young lady is probably in trouble. They are targeting her."
"Zi Yan?"
Ding Chuang's face darkened and he nodded, "I understand. Send them away first and I'll talk to Zi Yan about it."
Xu Lai smiled bitterly: "If they can't see the young lady, I'm afraid they won't leave."
"You're not leaving? Then kick him out!"
The old man finally showed his ferocious look, and snorted coldly, "What do they think this place is? Even if Zi Yan did something, I have to intervene first. Are they really going to let me hand Zi Yan over to them?"
"What a joke! She is my daughter, Ding Chuang! Even if she has done many wrong things, I should be the one to handle it, not let outsiders handle it!"
Xu Lai looked at this old friend, and he felt a little sad. Ding Chuang chose to protect his daughter after all. This was not surprising. Parents all have the heart to protect their children, let alone a person like Ding Chuang.
If he did nothing and handed over Ding Ziyan, and the news spread, Ding Chuang's reputation would surely plummet. For someone at his level, a single move would affect the entire body.
Once your reputation drops, many things will inevitably be affected, so sometimes, even people in high positions cannot help themselves.
However, Xu Lai had a vague feeling that if Ding Ziyan was not handed over and the matter was not settled as soon as possible, the Ding family might stir up a storm.
And this storm might uproot the big tree of Ding family!
"Old Xu, please help me get rid of them first. I will ask Zhifeng to find her now. I know this is very difficult for you, but she is my daughter, Ding Chuang, after all. Even if she deserves to die, she can only die in my hands."
"I can't hand her over to outsiders."
Xu Lai let out a long sigh: "I understand."
"However, I am not absolutely sure about this matter. I can only say that I will try my best."
"Also, Mr. Ding, you'd better leave quickly."
Ding Chuang shook his head firmly: "This is my root, I'm not going anywhere."
Xu Lai looked at him again, nodded, said "OK", and strode towards the office door.
After Xu Lai left, Ding Chuang's expression relaxed and he looked tired, as if he had aged ten years. He rubbed his face and pressed a button on the table: "Let Zhifeng go find the young lady and let him take her away from the Deep Sea Castle."
5 minutes are up.
Moonlight is a punctual person. When the time comes, she moves forward immediately.
But at this time, she saw Xu Lai again.
Xu Lai walked slowly, and with every step he took, his momentum gathered a little more. He was like a storm that was gradually growing stronger. When he met the moonlight, the storm would reach its peak.
Moonlight smiled, and placed his backhand on the hilt of Full Moon's sword. He chuckled and said, "It seems that your master is not such a reasonable person."
"Miss, if you are willing to leave, I promise that Mr. Ding will thoroughly investigate the matter. If our young lady has done anything wrong, Mr. Ding will definitely give you justice." Xu Lai said.
Moonlight smiled even more: "Do I look like a three-year-old child? Otherwise, why would you use such words to deceive me?"
"That lady of yours has done a lot of good things. She hired assassins to sneak into the Reverse World and tried to assassinate my friend. In addition, she also sent people to the Sea Monster Hotel to take away my friend's daughter."
"When one plan failed, she tried another. This time, she directly
My people have been kidnapped. It is still unknown whether they are alive or dead. Do you think I will give you some time to deal with it calmly?"
"Today, either Ding Ziyan dies, Ding Chuang dies, or the Ding family disappears into thin air. As for how to choose, you can decide for yourself."
choke!
The 'Full Moon' sword was unsheathed, and even though there were thousands of bright lights in the passage, they were all dimmed at this moment.
The gray-blue moonlight dyed every inch of space, as gentle as water, flowing silently, rushing towards Xu Lai.
Xu Lai sighed inwardly again and said to himself that after today, he no longer owed Ding Chuang anything.
Xu Lai made a move to pounce forward, and the star essence turned into condensed fighting spirit, forming a long silver robe on the old man. The texture of this long robe was clear, and it was even visible that there was a word "Xu" on the chest.
Xu Lai pushed his palms far away, and a strong wind suddenly blew up in the passage, which turned into a storm with terrifying momentum, pulling up the heavy black steel rocks on the ground and extinguishing the bright lights on the top!
... ... .
In the lobby.
Everyone felt that the building suddenly shook.
Tianyang's feelings were even more profound. In his perception, above the building, two forces really collided with each other. One was as pervasive as moonlight, and the other was as indestructible as a violent storm.
"Yue Guang has already fought with someone. I wonder who it was. Could it be the old man named Xu Lai..."
While Tianyang was thinking, he suddenly took a step to the left, then casually chopped down with his palm, knocking down the last guard of the building.
Around him, there were guards lying on the ground, including the captain of the guard.
The ascender was not treated preferentially. Like the other guards, he was knocked down by Tianyang with one palm.
The two girls at the reception desk were terrified. They had been working at Ding's Building for more than two years and had never seen anything like what happened today.
Those outsiders who came to Ding’s Building were all very respectful. Who would dare to act so recklessly
Fortunately, they saw that Tianyang had only knocked the man down and knocked him unconscious, and no blood was seen. Although they were frightened, they were not too scared.
At this time, the communicator on the reception desk lit up. A girl quickly grabbed the communicator and heard a deep voice saying, "I am Colonel Lu Ying of the Sea Scale Guard. We are about to arrive at the building. What's the situation over there?"
The girl said with trembling teeth: "All our guards have been knocked down. Come quickly."
The communicator was silent for a while before saying, "All dead?"
"No, they just knocked them out and didn't hurt them."
The colonel on the communicator was obviously relieved: "Got it. Well, I have seen your building."
On the long street outside the Ding Building, dark green chariots were driving towards the entrance of the building. On the armor of these chariots, there was a shield pattern covered with scales.
This is the symbol of the Deep Sea Castle 'Sea Scale Guard'.
In addition to the 'Sea Scale Guards', the Deep Sea Castle's military system also includes the 'Sea Dragon Guards' and the 'Sea King's Army'.
The Sea Scale Guards are responsible for maintaining order in the fortress, the Sea King's Army is responsible for conquering the rebel world, and the Sea Dragon Guards are relatively mobile and have no specific scope of duties.
At this time, in the Hailin Guard convoy, the 31-year-old Colonel Lu Ying was looking at the building through the window of the car. He could even see the obvious figure in the lobby.
After all, the man was surrounded by guards lying on the ground, and it was difficult for Lu Ying not to notice him.
