The car drove for a while, and Thunder Warrior Ji hugged her Citibank card tightly with a crazy smile on her face.
When the excitement gradually subsided, she solemnly put the bank card into her wallet and hugged Li Xianyu's arm: "Is this a betrothal gift?"
Li Xianyu glanced at her: "What about your dowry?"
Thunder Warrior Ji patted her chest: "My everything."
"A pile of bills?"
"... Go!" Thunder Warrior Ji hit him guilty, and suddenly showed a serious expression: "Did you encounter something in the island country?"
"No." Li Xianyu shook his head.
"Lie." Zhan Ji wrinkled her nose, stretched out her hand, and touched his eyebrows with her long white fingertips, "You have changed."
There is always a sense of gloom that cannot be resolved here.
Li Xianyu had occasionally been gloomy before, even though he often pretended to be cynical and playful. At that time, Thunder Warrior Ji could understand him, because he was burdened with huge pressure, the pressure passed down from his biological father Li Wuxiang.
His path to promotion is essentially a path to survival. Without being sure that he would survive, he didn't even dare to accept his overtures.
But now, after returning from the island country, the gloom between his eyebrows has become so thick that it cannot be removed, and there is actually a bit of vicissitudes in his eyes.
After people have experienced too much, their mentality will change. Once their mentality changes, their temperament will also change accordingly.
Thunder Warrior Ji was surprised by the subtle changes in Li Xianyu's temperament, which meant that his mentality had undergone a drastic change. In the island country, a lot of things must have happened in the past half month or so, which actually caused such a big change in a tough-minded man in a short period of time.
"It's hard to explain in words, no need to ask anymore." Li Xianyu held her catkins and shook his head.
He did not want to recall everything he had experienced in the island country, nor did he want to talk more about the fruit. It's not that she doesn't trust Thunder Warrior, it's just that if you can't say it, don't say it.
The best way to keep it secret is to keep it in your heart and never talk about it.
Returning to the company, he quietly went upstairs and entered the room that belonged to him. He didn't say hello to anyone, and the power of the ward was still emptied. The King of Thunder and Lightning was in a semi-retirement state.
After Li Xianyu washed up, he put on his pajamas and came to the door of Lei Zhanji's room. The door was ajar and they contacted each other on their mobile phones.
Although grandma already knew about their relationship, the little beast still didn't want grandma to hear the consummation of their great-grandson and his wife's wife, even if it was a knock on the door.
Thunder Warrior's hair was wet. She had been sitting at the coffee table waiting for a long time and opened a bottle of red wine.
"I probably know what happened in the island country." Thunder Warrior shook the red wine glass and said softly: "The Earth God told me."
You only know one, but not the other.
"Those are a group of terrifying existences, creatures that stand at the top of the blood world." Li Xianyu nodded, picked up the wine glass, and drank the blood-like wine.
"It's a pity that I can't help you." Thunder Warrior Ji said sadly.
"This is my blessing. I even hope that none of them can help me." Li Xianyu hugged Thunder Warrior Ji: "Just like a soldier going to the battlefield, he can only have his wife, children and parents at home without hesitation. Go to the battlefield without worries."
If his wife and children were on the battlefield together, he would not be able to concentrate on killing the enemy.
"But I can at least leave you an heir." Thunder Fighter said sweetly and helplessly.
... ...
The next morning, Li Xianyu knocked on the door of grandma's room. She came over and opened the door sleepily, her pajamas draped across her shoulders, exposing her white neck.
"Wash up and go find the King of Thunder and Lightning." Li Xianyu stared at Grandma Grandma's eyes, trying to see a look of dissatisfaction or resentment in her eyes. After all, he and Zhan Ji had been tossing around for most of the night last night, and there was a lot of movement. Although it was soundproof, The effect was great, but he inevitably felt guilty.
"oh!"
Grandma slammed the door and almost hit Li Xianyu's face. Fortunately, he backed up in time.
Sure enough, grandma must have used magic to eavesdrop on Zhan Ji's room. After all, with normal hearing ability, even with Grandma's level of cultivation, it would be difficult for her to hear the movements in Zhan Ji's room through the soundproofing facilities across two rooms.
Unless by some means.
She really cared about me sleeping with other women.
They first went to the revolving restaurant on the top floor to have breakfast, and the employees they knew each other greeted each other one after another, even though Li Xianyu had left the company for more than half a month, and even though many earth-shattering events had happened in the island country. But they don't know those secrets.
Anything that happens in the island country can be classified as S-class secrets, and senior employees have no access to it. The official organization of the island country has no intention of announcing the matter yet.
They had asked Li Xianyu for his opinion. According to the official organization, of course they wanted to hide it!
"Concealment" is human nature. When encountering something that is too important or detrimental to themselves, humans will subconsciously block information.
Li Xianyu's advice was to tell the global blood community about the matter after the Tianjin Shrine turmoil was completely settled.
The advantage of doing this is that everyone will have a deeper understanding of the dangers of ancient demons and create public opinion in a disguised way. As we all know, when two armies are at war, whoever controls public opinion has a greater chance of winning.
Of course the ancient demons didn't care about the so-called public opinion. The purpose of Li Xianyu's actions was to restrain them from expanding their power in disguise.
This was a specific plan he came up with after he knew that the ancient demon liked to gather forces.
If you want to expand your power, you have to target the masses, right? The most indispensable thing among the masses is the young people.
As long as the ancient demon is portrayed as the opposite of human beings, the lower class blood descendants will be alert.
Since the Holy See has announced the existence of the ancient demon, it is not the first case in the island country, so in Li Xianyu's view, there is no point in concealing it.
Secondly, how can Li Peiyun's glorious deeds of showing great power in the island country and killing ancient monsters be covered up? How can we obscure the extraordinary contributions of our heroes
Finally, the news of "Shocked, Li Xianyu defeated Baker Richardson in the island country" can also be spread appropriately.
Well, there is no other meaning, and it is not to show off, but to show off to others.
"Li Xianyu, I've thought of a few good titles. You're back just in time. Choose one yourself." Murphy, a 27-year-old single woman with eyes, came over with a breakfast tray and sat next to Li Xianyu. .
"You said it." Li Xianyu nodded. He almost forgot about the title.
Every Baoze employee has a title, and his real name is not disclosed to the public. After three months of internship, Li Xianyu became a regular employee, but he has never received his own title.
Murphy was thinking hard when suddenly, this guy was nominated as one of the Ten Gods of Baoze. Murphy gave Li Xianyu a few titles that he had decided on before, but they were all rejected.
"The grandson of the war spirit." Murphy said confidently: "This title is quite topical, but it also seems quite satisfactory."
I am still the grandson of a wise man...
"It's on point and to the point, but don't you think it's unnecessary? The whole world knows that I am the successor of the War Spirit. So what is the significance of your title?" Li Xianyu bit into the crab roe bun and gave his own suggestion.
"Sure enough, it needs a title that penetrates the soul." Murphy said that he understood, and said: "So I think the name has always been considered and prepared. What do you think of this name..."
After a pause, she showed an expectant expression: "Baby!"
"Get out." Li Xianyu pointed to the door of the restaurant.
"Oh." Murphy held his plate and walked away to eat.
"You and Zhan Ji..." Grandma couldn't help it after all, and asked tentatively: "Using slime to absorb life again? Although I am not satisfied with Zhan Ji, the choice of my great-grandson's daughter-in-law, she is a yellow flower girl after all. , you, every time you do something bad, she has to recuperate for ten days and a half, just like confinement. As time goes by, her vitality will wither."
"She's fine." Li Xianyu couldn't explain some modern protective measures to her.
"Liar, you obviously..." Grandma snorted, rolled her eyes at her great-grandson, and looked away angrily from the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Quickly draw the gun, grow wildly, grasp the immortal, dragon collision, phase rush, deadly rhythm, war rhythm, absolute concentration, storm gathering, blasting, energy pouring, withering..." Li Xianyu said long Exhale a breath: "Transcendence, adjust the breath, and the mind is like still water."
"Do you want to play a game, or are you talking about a game on purpose to change the subject and distract me?" Grandma thought she was smart enough to see through her great-grandson's little trick.
"Yes." Li Xianyu nodded seriously.
It was half past nine after breakfast, and Bao Ze went to work at nine o'clock. He and his grandmother came to the office of King Thunder and Lightning. Li Xianyu knocked on the door specially. He remembered that he had pushed the door open once before and saw King Thunder and Lightning and his secretary. The scene of love and affection.
Although it was wrong for him to have a relationship between men and women in the office, Li Xianyu thought it would be better to knock on the door first.
"Come in!" The rich voice of King Thunder and Lightning came from the office.
The grandfather and grandson entered the office and saw His Majesty the Thunder and Lightning sitting on the soft sand in the living room, eating breakfast and unfolding a newspaper in a decent manner.
Who still reads newspapers these days? Li Xianyu probably got them from the subway station. This attitude is inconsistent with the image of a workaholic who is always busy.
"Retired?" Li Xianyu smiled.
"You're back. Have you had breakfast?" King Thunder and Lightning waved his hand: "The God of Earth has informed me that you returned to China yesterday. I saw that you came to me beautifully yesterday, so you must come today."
"Looking at how you look like you're taking care of yourself, I feel like I'm looking for you in vain. Who is in charge of Baoze now? Cai Lun, right?" Li Xianyu joked.
The big boss has been banned. Although the most loyal dog, King Thunder and Lightning, has avoided being imprisoned, it is inevitable that his authority as a minister will be eclipsed before someone is innocent.
Although Li Xianyu hates power struggles, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand them.
"He is the deputy minister and I am the minister. I still have more authority than him. This is the rule. Even if he has the backing of the board of directors, he still cannot access confidential information. For example, your information." The King of Thunder and Lightning snorted twice. : "When it comes to major decisions, I, the minister, have to sign. If I don't agree, the document won't be released."
"Cai Lun, this kid is quite honest, thanks to your intimidation. But there have been no major incidents recently, and the blood world is still peaceful."
The original deputy minister was not Cai Lun, but a bureaucrat-type blood descendant named Zhang Jiawei. The new official took office three times. In order to grab credit, he used the information given by Li Xianyu to kill many low-level descendants of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance.
Afterwards, Li Xianyu was beaten to the point of dying, and the board of directors removed him on the grounds of recovering from his injuries.
After witnessing all this, Cai Lun took over the position of deputy minister and learned from the past. Even the intrigues between factions will appear very subtle and subdued. After all, Baoze no longer has a big boss and there is a newly promoted half-step Ji Dao.
"How is Dou Shen doing?"
"There is no point in being locked up in the Demon Locking Building, and there is no point in being tortured to extract a confession. He is not afraid at all. Not long ago, while the effect of the suppressive medicine was weakening and a new round of injections did not come, he triggered the security equipment in the room and almost died in it."
"Want to escape?"
"No, he wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, he left a lot of blood medicine when he left, and he was revived."
For a person who is not afraid of death, extorting a confession is indeed not very effective, but he cannot die. If he wants to find out the ancient demon, God of War is a good breakthrough.
"Where is your secretary?" Li Xianyu turned around and looked around, but did not see the female secretary of King Thunder and Lightning, a charming young woman in her thirties.
"She became sleepy after she became pregnant. I asked her to go to work at 10:30 from now on." The King of Thunder and Lightning openly sought personal gain for his female secretary.
"Finally, you don't have to be a bachelor anymore. I'm worried about you when you reach middle age and haven't started a family yet." Li Xianyu blessed you, "It's great."
"..." Being said so by a junior who was twenty years younger than himself, King Thunderbolt was a little embarrassed: "Where is the mission report for the island country?"
"There is no mission report. I am not going to the island country for business. If I want a mission report, you can wait for the God of Earth and God of Cookery to come back." Li Xianyu took the cigarette thrown by King Thunder and Lightning: "I am looking for you to check on the Wu family in the Northeast. .”
"Northeast Wu family?"
"Yes," Li Xianyu nodded and sneered, "I suspect they are related to the ancient demon."
