Sitting on the stretch car, Leng Yiyao turned her head and glanced at Jin Jin? Camp. He had changed out of his military uniform and was wearing black casual clothes. Compared with usual, it is a little more casual, but more of the coldness and evil nature that is usually hidden under the military uniform.
He rarely smoked at school, but his current posture made it obvious that he was a heavy smoker.
The Imperial Arsenal, a family that can be described by this word, itself represents the color behind it - deep to the end!
Since he is the direct successor, Jins? The path Kemp walks on is obviously different from others.
"Wouldn't the marshal be angry if you go out with me so late?" Maybe it's because Leng Yiyao's eyes are too strange, Jins? Kemp couldn't help but look back at her and subconsciously asked such a question. After blurting it out, he was stunned. Why is this so awkward to ask
"Where I want to go is up to me. No one can control it." Leng Yiyao chuckled and looked away. Sure enough, when the identities are not equal, everyone will subconsciously regard her as Hemo's vassal. Even if Hemo himself shows absolute respect in every word and deed when he gets along with her, in the empire and in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable that she is just an insignificant accessory behind Hemo. It's just that she is "favored" now.
Kings? Kemp actually regretted it after saying that, thinking about the scenes they encountered several times. Whether it was Lu Chen's invitation to the ball, her moonwalk alone at the Lantern Festival, or what she did in the royal family, Hemo never interfered. This is a kind of trust, but also a kind of determination. No matter what she does, she will never leave his side. He had enough confidence to give Leng Yiyao full freedom.
And such a woman is indeed worth it.
Suddenly neither of them said a word. The driver in front pursed his lips. For some reason, he discovered for the first time that someone was sitting next to the young master. Not only was he not overwhelmed by the young master's aura, this little person... The pressure is natural, even if you just hold your chin and look out the window casually...
The car sped along smoothly. After nearly an hour, I saw that the road in front of me was getting more and more deviated, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
Leng Yiyao glanced at the time and was about to speak, Jins? Kemp suddenly raised his lips and said, "We're here."
The car parked slowly in an empty parking lot, obviously not planning to drive directly into the main house.
Leng Yiyao was feeling strange. When the car door opened and she saw the building in front of her clearly, even though she was well-informed, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Welcome... to you." He leaned forward and smiled slightly at Leng Yiyao. In the dark night, the towering castle seemed to be wrapped in a mist, exuding a silent sense of mystery from the inside out. .
"This is the first time I have seen such a strange building in the imperial capital." Leng Yiyao looked at it several times before slowly calming down.
Just by looking at the walls, you can tell that the buildings here are not the civil engineering that has emerged in recent years. I am afraid that this castle has been standing here for at least a century. But it is different from the palace that has a strong sense of history that has been passed down for so many years. The latter is splendid and the icing on the cake, but the former feels solemn and chilling from top to bottom, inside and out.
"Quack-quack-" A black shadow suddenly passed over the top of the head, so fast that before even blinking, it had already disappeared into the treetops again.
In the air, a black feather suddenly slipped down, and finally landed in the palm of her hand.
She stared at the wings quietly for a long time, looking strangely at Kings? Kemp glanced: "Crow?"
She had really never seen this kind of animal in the desert country.
"Well, my father raised him." Kings? Kemp glanced at it, but had no reaction. This black-haired beast likes to bully others, but he didn't expect Leng Yiyao to be so courageous.
Leng Yiyao couldn't help but have a little black line on her forehead, raising crows in captivity
Regardless of ancient or modern times, crows have always been a bad omen because they like to eat carrion. His dad is so avant-garde, why would he be so unconventional about raising a pet
"Ahem—" Leng Yiyao had a bewildered expression on her face, which made Jin Jin? Kemp was a little embarrassed. He pretended to cough, then solemnly nodded to her: "Please come inside."
Leng Yiyao followed him and finally stepped into the legendary weapons depot second only to the military world.
The heavy door opened, revealing a long walkway. The lawn was not very dense due to winter, but the moist smell was still clearer than outside.
A huge tree stood in the center of the yard, blocking out almost all the moonlight.
"This tree is growing very well." Leng Yiyao thought for a moment, wondering how much effort it would have taken for four people to stand together hand in hand to hug this ancient tree.
Kings? Kemp followed her gaze and looked over. For some reason, when it landed on the tree, his gaze flickered and dimmed. Finally, it slowly sank into darkness.
The crow seemed to hear something and looked towards Leng Yiyao. She then discovered that without realizing it, the crow had also landed on the tree.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Unlike ordinary mansions, there is not a single servant or servant walking around here.
Except for Kings? Between Kemp and her, there was no sound from anyone else at the entire gate. Turning around again, the driver who had just started driving had also disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Leng Yiyao was finally sure that this "home" was full of weirdness.
What should I do? I suddenly feel a little excited!
Looking at the eager expression on Leng Yiyao's face, Jins? Kemp couldn't help but frowned, "Don't you...don't you think something is wrong?"
The Jins family, which is famous outside and even heard of in various countries, actually lives in such a gloomy and dilapidated building... This kind of thing, no matter where it is placed, will probably cause turmoil.
"It's such an interesting place, so rare to see. I'm not even happy enough." Leng Yiyao looked at him strangely, and strode forward without stopping. If someone who didn't know saw it, they might think she was the owner of this place. .
Kings? Kemp walked a few steps quickly and finally got ahead of her, "I'll take you to see the basement first."
basement
It should be where the ammunition depot is, which is the core of the entire Kings family.
Leng Yiyao didn't know why he insisted on leaking family secrets to her, but he had already come to this point, and it was absolutely impossible for her to turn back.
The two people walked one behind the other along the aisle to the north side of the castle.
Kings? Kemp stretched out his right hand and pressed lightly on the edge of the wall. In an instant, an electronic screen appeared next to it. He turned back and nodded slightly to her, then focused his eyes on a certain location, and the retinal data was quickly read. There was a loud "pop-" sound, four bricks underground made a loud noise, and then, nearby The stone bricks folded up crazily as if they had their own consciousness. Soon, an endless stone path appeared in front of her, leading directly to the ground, dark and strange.
"Follow me." Kings? Kemp turned around and gave a warning. Then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pressed a series of numbers. He saw that from the moment he stepped on the stone path, the torches on both sides lit up instantly, with the distance between each torch being about the same. It was ten meters, but for some reason, every time they passed this distance, all the torches that had just passed behind them were immediately extinguished.
Therefore, even if they walked along the entrance to the basement for a long time, only the section in front of them was bright and clear. When they looked back, it was already pitch black behind them.
Until, with a crisp sound of "Crack-", Leng Yiyao watched helplessly as a huge stone wall in front of her suddenly opened.
When the door was opened, the light inside almost dazzled the entire basement!
Even in the equipment warehouse of the military academy, Leng Yiyao had never seen so many volleys of bullets. Under the torch, they shone with a unique luster. The color was exactly the same as gold. At a glance, she just felt that her eyes They were all shaken uncomfortably.
But that's not the key. In addition to bullets, rifles, sniper rifles, and even forts and armed aircraft, everything is available here.
It’s just a basement, but it contains such an amazing amount of storage!
Leng Yiyao walked along the main road and kept walking. It took almost half an hour and she still didn't reach the end.
"What is stored here is less than one ten thousandth of the inventory of the Kings Group." Kings, who has been silent since entering the basement? Kemp suddenly spoke.
Leng Yiyao raised her head and looked at her, a little surprised. He was so straightforward. He was really not afraid of her telling her
The rich and the arms dealers are all the same. When you are rich and powerful and just get a piece of the pie, people will not be jealous. But if you are too successful and go too far, you will become a thorn in others' eyes and a thorn in their palms. This often means that the fire will cook you. Oils and flowers are in full bloom, but they are about to fade away.
She turned back and looked at Jins, whose eyes were suddenly hot and cold. Kemp suddenly understood what he meant by coming to her.
"As you can see, Kings Group looks famous, but deep down, we have always been conscientious. It's like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will be doomed." His fingertips passed over the weapons and ammunition, and they It was as if he was interacting closely with the one he loved, but the light in his eyes became darker and darker. A group without support or backing will not continue like this forever. Everyone is shrouded in this shadow. Even he knows that the current situation is becoming increasingly unstable.
At this time, Leng Yiyao intervened in the royal affairs, as if opening a window for him!
Suddenly he saw the light source!
Yes, besides completely surrendering to the military, they have a second option. He can negotiate a win-win deal with Leng Yiyao!
"The reason why you helped Lu Chen turn around his disadvantage was probably not entirely for personal reasons. What promise did he make to you?" Jins? Kemp took a step forward and almost pushed Leng Yiyao directly onto the armored vehicle behind him.
The cold touch shocked both of them, and then Leng Yiyao raised her head and looked at Jins with burning eyes? Kemp, "Three promises. As long as I want, he will agree to my three conditions at any time." She said the answer without hesitation, the interest in her eyes getting stronger and stronger.
"Only three?" Kings? Kemp sneered: "Lu Chen is really not grand."
"So, what do you want?" Leng Yiyao looked at this person intently and spoke in a slightly soft voice.
"If it were me, I would use the entire family's dividends in exchange! As long as the Kings family can continue to prosper, there are no restrictions on what you want at any time!" His words were loud and clear, as if he had planned them for a long time. .
Want whatever you want, whenever you want, with no limits
She suddenly burst out laughing.
What if she directly asked for the entire Kings Group? There was such a huge imperial arsenal that even Helmer had no access to, so why would he find her on his own
"I believe that your strength is far more than what you are now." It seemed that he saw the meaning in her eyes clearly, Kings? Kemp said this directly without any hesitation. "Besides, to put it bluntly, the Leng family does not dare to touch you for the sake of the marshal. However, as an heiress, you have not grown up for a day, and those equity interests are not really owned by you." Even if it is announced. What's the use of the whole world? If a businessman like the Leng family wants to do anything, if they find someone to hit Leng Yiyao with a car and make him unable to take care of himself, then the agency power will not be the real power. No matter how much property she has in her name, she will only be able to watch everything being taken away from her.
Leng Yiyao slowly lowered her eyes after hearing his words. You know, every word he said is true.
"So, we might as well talk about a deal. No matter what decision you make, the Kings Group will stand behind you. In exchange, no matter where you go in the future, the Kings family must become the top family in the empire!" He smiled lowly, his voice was low, but there was no joy in his eyes. His family, like poppies in the wind, was about to be swallowed up by the current situation. No one hated the current situation more than him. However, only in this way can we truly get rid of the past.
So, his real purpose is to use her means to bleach the entire Kings Group? From the black country to the white world? Thus, no longer subject to any shackles
"Why are you willing to pay such a high price?" When Leng Yiyao heard what he said, her first reaction was not pride. On the contrary, her eyes froze slightly, and her words became sharper.
Kings? Kemp was suddenly silent. For a long time, he slowly raised his head, his eyes quiet: "Did you see that tree in the yard just now? Didn't you just ask me why I look so good
That's because all the dead people in our family were buried under it and became its nourishment. "
Leng Yiyao shuddered, and then looked at Jin Jin with shock in her eyes? Camp. No wonder the crows are circling and refusing to leave, no wonder the whole castle is so gloomy...
This family, which seems prosperous to outsiders, actually paid for everything in front of them with countless bones. But now, the building is about to collapse and she is temporarily arrested. Should she agree or...? disagree
