Five p.m.
In Youzhou, in front of a luxury jewelry counter in Oriental Mall, Qin Weibai gently turned his white and tender wrist, looked at the green and transparent jade bracelet on his wrist, and chuckled: "Does it look good?"
"Very beautiful, madam. This jade rabbit perfectly matches your temperament and suits you very well. I have to say, your vision..."
The professionally trained shopping guide sincerely praised her, but before she could finish her words, Qin Weibai interrupted with a smile: "This is the gift I plan to give to my elders."
The shopping guide's smile stiffened, and he was a little embarrassed and wanted to smooth things over. Qin Weibai had already turned to look at the knight beside him: "What do you think?"
"Boss, we own more than 25% of the Posis family's shares."
The knight held Qin Weibai's coat in one hand and a bag containing a small gift in the other hand, with a meticulous expression.
The Posis family is a famous family in Europe. To be precise, it is the number one jeweler in Europe. If Qin Weibai needs jewelry, he can definitely ask them to customize it.
"It's too late to prepare."
Qin Weibai shook his head, took off the bracelet in his hand, and laughed softly: "It's just a little thought of the first official meeting, there is no need to be too deliberate."
She nodded to the shopping guide: "Wrap it up."
The knight immediately handed the shopping guide a bank card without a password.
The exquisite bag in her hand already contained many small gifts. They were indeed small gifts, at least they were not big in size.
For example, silk scarves, watches, and jewelry were scattered about a dozen pieces, which were the trophies of their afternoon shopping.
The shopping guide took the bank card with both hands and trotted to check out. Qin Weibai lowered his head and casually browsed the jewelry in the counter, blinking, thinking about things he might have overlooked.
The knight was carrying the gift and looking at the leisurely and quiet boss, a strange emotion emerged in his heart uncontrollably.
In her impression, this was not the boss' style at all.
White fitted cardigan, black tight straight pants, high heels.
The light-colored coat has been handed over to the knight, and her seemingly always simple and light dressing style fully shows off her tall and slender figure. Qin Weibai's figure is not an exaggerated S-shaped figure, but a kind of figure that makes people at first glance I feel very comfortable when I see it, and it becomes more and more comfortable with its softness and refinement.
For some unknown reason, she put on a mask when she went out, covering half of her face, but her cool and elegant temperament and dreamy and bright eyes still attracted countless stunning glances.
Lazy, leisurely, soft, elegant, with a little restrained arrogance, she looks carefree and charming.
This is a standard state similar to that of a wealthy lady.
But it's not the state the Cavaliers had in mind.
The boss in her impression was like a god.
Standing tall, rigorous, sharp, wise and cool.
She never seems to be in a leisurely state, and there is no trace of laziness. She always puts herself in the calmest state of mind, thinking about everything and observing everything. She is an indestructible statue, and like It is a god who can control all.
She might become something else too.
But it was really hard for the knight to imagine that she would turn into a young housewife.
The knight lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
Her eyes, which had always been arrogant and aggressive, suddenly turned a little gloomy.
"what's on your mind?"
A voice with almost no emotion suddenly sounded.
The knight was shocked and subconsciously shook his head, his voice slightly bitter: "No, it's nothing."
Qin Weibai stared into her eyes and said nothing.
The state that was so familiar to the knight seemed to revive a little bit in Qin Weibai, but it didn't make her feel friendly.
The knight subconsciously shifted his gaze.
"You feel uncomfortable."
Qin Weibai was sitting on a high chair, looking at the jewelry in the window casually, her tone was very sure.
The knight bit his lip and said nothing.
She was really uncomfortable at that moment.
Very.
Very uncomfortable.
"say."
Qin Weibai said.
"I want to go back to Switzerland."
The knight hesitated and said in a low voice.
Qin Weibai fell silent.
She thought for a while and said calmly: "You are very dissatisfied with me."
The knight hesitated for a moment and shook his head. He tried his best to word his words and tried not to say words that might irritate Qin Weibai. He said softly: "I just feel that the current situation is hard-won. This situation is not for us to enjoy life. We More can be done.”
Everything the palace owner did was to make the Eastern Palace truly rise.
Nowadays, the rise of East Palace is unstoppable.
two years
After the silence, Li Tianlan has become truly invincible.
What happened in the City of Sighs today has spread throughout the dark world in the shortest possible time.
Li Tianlan may have his own plan, but his actions were regarded by countless people as a show of force. The effect of such a show of force is naturally extremely powerful, enough to frighten most people in the dark world, and even affect the plans of major forces against Beihai. alliance.
Something happened to the Haoyue Group, and there were faint cracks within the Prince Group.
The suspected treason incident of the leader of the special operations group is fermenting little by little.
The situation is treacherous and the undercurrent is surging.
Almost all of them are favorable to the Eastern Palace.
From the knight's perspective, everything around him is full of opportunities. No matter what he does, Qin Weibai should not be in this state.
"I've done what I have to do."
Qin Weibai was silent for a while and shook his head: "Under the current situation, it is best to do nothing during the next period of time."
"During this period?"
Knight Shen asked softly.
"Wait until there is a clear result on the military division's operations."
Qin Weibai said something and said lightly: "You have too many questions."
The knight was silent and finally stopped talking.
"Go and drive."
Qin Weibai said: "Tianlan has come back. Let's pick him up and then go to the Bai family manor."
... ...
Half past five.
The sky in Youzhou has turned completely dark.
Under the light, the snowflakes in the sky became more and more wanton.
Dongcheng Wudi buttoned his coat and walked out of the Yinlonghai parliament conference room with a solemn expression. He didn't communicate with anyone and got into his own car.
One after another, directors came out.
The vehicles parked in front of the conference room left one after another.
Dongcheng Wudi sat in the back row, leaned on the back of his chair, and took a long breath and said, "Go home."
"How is it going?"
The vehicle started slowly.
Bai Qingchao, the deputy secretary-general of the military who personally acted as the driver, asked with a smile.
"It's hard to say yet."
Dongcheng Wudi said slowly: "But your matter should be settled."
Bai Qingchao was stunned for a moment.
His thing...
Now his biggest demand is to remove the title of deputy secretary-general in tomorrow's general election, become the secretary-general of the military department, and then enter the Central-Continent Parliament and become one of the members of the parliament.
This is also a relatively important goal of the wealthy group, and its importance is even second only to the re-election of Dongcheng Invincible next year.
This is also something without much suspense.
Bai Zhanfang will definitely step down next year. He will step down as the Speaker of Youzhou. Even if it is an exchange of interests, Bai Qingchao can take over.
He shook his head and said dullly: "This is not really a gain."
"Of course it counts, and it's a big gain."
Dongcheng Wudi smiled, looked at the snowflakes outside the window, and recalled the content of the meeting.
Too many things happened today.
The first is the death of the chairman of Haoyue Group.
This incident attracted everyone's attention for the first time, and then without anyone reacting, the task force and the General Staff submitted reports on the Burning Legion. The most critical witness entered the Youzhou Special Operations Bureau. was silenced immediately, and the treasonous image of the entire special operations group suddenly became extremely clear.
Li Huacheng held a meeting as soon as possible.
Not a plenary session of Parliament.
It is a meeting of the nine directors.
The nine directors can be said to be the leaders of the major groups in Central Continent. Li Huacheng obviously wants to control the scope of influence when the situation is unclear. In addition to the nine directors, there are also Gu Xingyun and the first to discover There is no one else in the special operations group besides Ye Dongsheng, the deputy minister of the military who is suspected of treason.
At the beginning of the meeting, Ye Dongsheng had already submitted a report on behalf of the General Staff.
The conclusion that the task force reluctantly came up with in the first place was regarded as a formal conclusion. The conclusion stated that it was certain that Qi Mulin was suspected of serious treason. Li Tianlan's destruction of the Qi family two years ago was just an overreaction, but it could not be regarded as a crime. On the contrary, his actions saved Zhongzhou a lot of losses.
Li Tianlan is not guilty.
This is the first thing the Southeast Group and the Haomen Group want to determine.
This may not seem important, but it's actually very important.
Li Tianlan is not guilty, so the two-year imprisonment in the desert is Li Tianlan's injustice. Zhongzhou must compensate him. Li Tianlan's departure from the desert cannot be regarded as an escape. At the same time, some people who demanded severe punishment for Li Tianlan must also pay a price, and those who support Li Tianlan must also pay a price. Will get benefits, and what Li Tianlan does next will definitely be highly tolerated by Zhongzhou.
Li Tianlan is not guilty, but Qi Mulin is guilty.
Qi Mulin is Qi Beicang's adopted son. If anything happens to him, Qi Beicang's reputation will inevitably suffer a fatal blow.
Plus Blackhawk's confession...
The entire special operations group will be in a precarious situation.
At the meeting, Gu Xingyun gave a speech that lasted for nearly forty minutes. After necessary review, he denied all the contents of the confession and stated that he did not know the cause of Black Hawk's death. At the same time, he affirmed that the special operations group would cooperate with the parliament to accept the meeting. Down to investigate everything.
The Special Operations Group and the Prince Group are closely linked, and they believe that confirming Li Tianlan's innocence should not be too urgent.
While the parliament was having a heated debate, news about the City of Sighs came from the outside world.
That incredible sword seemed to completely dispel the spirit of the special operations group.
Gu Xingyun was the first to fall silent.
The wealthy group and the Southeast Group joined forces and confirmed Li Tianlan's innocence at the highest-level meeting in Zhongzhou.
Li Huacheng acquiesced to this and emphasized that he would communicate with Li Tianlan and give Donghuang Palace adequate compensation.
A task force was also formally established during the meeting.
Dongcheng Wudi also serves as the clan leader, and Ye Dongsheng also serves as the deputy team leader. They mobilize real elites from the General Staff, Security Department and other departments to investigate the Burning Legion and the special operations group in detail.
A lot of things were determined during the nearly three-hour meeting.
Bai Qingchao's position was naturally determined, which can be seen as a compromise by the special operations group, or a concession made by Gu Xingyun.
"Even if this incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't have had much of a problem next year."
Bai Qingchao said in a dull voice.
"Normally that's the case."
Dongcheng Wudi said thoughtfully: "It's just that something unexpected happened now."
Bai Qingchao hummed and his eyes became a little sharp.
"It's not a bad thing."
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head: "I communicated with the saints and military advisors a few days ago, and they seemed to want Qingqian to go further, but they didn't say anything clearly. Tianlan should talk to me about this issue tonight..."
When Bai Zhanfang retires, under normal circumstances, Bai Qingchao or Bai Qingqian can step in at most, and you can choose one of the two. Now, this opportunity is very likely to allow both brothers and sisters to take a step forward.
Dongcheng Wudi was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Go home first. The kids will be there for the hot pot tonight."
Bai Qingchao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and started the car.
... ...
six o'clock.
The extremely flamboyant Rolls-Royce with a Youzhou license plate slowly drove into the Bai family manor.
The back row of the car has been cut off.
Qin Weibai's face was slightly red, his legs were curled up in Li Tianlan's arms and he moved in a low voice: "Let me go, it's almost time to arrive."
"It doesn't hurt anymore?"
Li Tianlan laughed softly and carelessly played with a pair of crystal pink jade feet in his hands, as if touching the most precious treasures.
Qin Weibai gave Li Tianlan a hard look, his eyes were as charming as silk, and he said bitterly: "I don't feel any pain in the first place, but you know how to bully me."
With a little force, she stretched out her feet from Li Tianlan's arms, bent down to find the socks, carefully put them on, and laughed in a low voice: "You are getting more and more excessive."
Li Tianlan smiled and was about to say something when a bright light suddenly shone from another direction.
It was an Audi with Jiangsu and Zhejiang license plates.
"A car from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consulate in Beijing."
Qin Weibai whispered: "Is it Chairman Zou? Or Qiuchi?"
Li Tianlan shook his head.
The Rolls-Royce and Audi parked in front of the Bai family's villa almost at the same time.
An elegant and dignified figure came out of the back row of the Audi. He looked at the Rolls-Royce beside him and waved in surprise.
"Sister Qiuchi."
Li Tianlan got out of the car, looked at the woman next to Audi, and was slightly startled.
Dongcheng Qiuchi stood there, bright and dignified, wearing warm clothes in the flying wind and snow, and holding a tightly wrapped object in her arms.
object
Li Tianlan was a little stunned. In his sight, the small object moved slightly.
"my daughter."
Dongcheng Qiuchi greeted Qin Weibai with a smile, and looked at the somewhat astonished Li Tianlan and smiled.
"When did this happen?"
Li Tianlan laughed. He had never heard of this matter in the desert for two years.
"months ago."
Dongcheng Qiuchi smiled softly: "The child is only six months old and can't call people yet, but the greeting gift is indispensable."
Li Tianlan said with a smile and looked at the baby in Dongcheng Qiuchi's arms with some curiosity: "What's the name?"
"Go in and talk."
Dongcheng Qiuchi walked towards the villa with a smile and said softly: "Dongcheng Yue."
