Chapter 126
The black car stopped silently by the roadside, almost completely hidden in the shadow of the giant tree beside the road. Inside the car, Lin Qingsi, who had finished processing the documents in his hand, rubbed the back of his neck, looked out the window, and then turned his eyes to Semillian for the first time and asked, "So... you didn't get anything useful, and you completely exposed yourself?"
The cold voice was like a stream carrying ice cubes flowing through the cracks between rocks in early spring. It seemed clear to the bottom, but it chilled people to the bone.
Semillian's smile froze, and he defended himself, "At least I have tested Alpha's control over the manor and his reaction speed, right? And I am basically certain that Rong Yuan is not in the manor at this time, otherwise he would have appeared at the first moment."
"Two mistakes." Lin Qingsi said: "First, I don't care what level the manor's defense alarm is at, and I have no plans to attack the manor. So your information is of little significance to me."
The last smile on Semillian's face disappeared, his face darkened, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Qingsi flicked the document in his hand and said, "To put it more clearly, during this period of time, you have always exaggerated your actions as our common cause. But in fact, your actions are not only unhelpful to me, but may also bring me trouble."
"I thought you were a patient man and should know that nothing can be accomplished overnight," Semillian said with a frown.
"That's true." Lin Qingsi said coldly, "But I won't be patient with someone who secretly associates with my enemies."
Semillian's expression changed, and he softened his tone, saying, "If you're referring to my previous meeting with Chancellor Yang, it was actually because..."
"It's not just Speaker Yang Siyu." Lin Qingsi seemed a little helpless and said, "Didn't you also have a secret meeting with Princess Kaan? And who was the person in the black windbreaker sitting next to you in the Red Park? If my people remember correctly, it seems to be a diplomat from the Cattlan Empire, right?"
His expression remained calm, and he looked at Semillian as if he was looking at an ignorant child who made a mistake but tried desperately to deny it. But as long as one thought about the huge power this man represented, his dissatisfied expression would make countless people tremble with fear.
Semillian naturally wouldn't tremble in front of Lin Qingsi like the Tulip Man, but for him, Lin Qingsi's support was very important to achieve his goal, and he couldn't help but feel it was a difficult situation at this moment.
Before Semillian could come up with an explanation and words to restore the relationship between the two parties, Lin Qingsi waved his hand. The doctor, who had been sitting next to him like a log as if he had heard nothing, immediately stood up, opened the door next to him, got out and stood next to the car, then made a gesture to Semillian to invite him in.
Semillian's face suddenly turned ugly.
He stared at Lin Qingsi leaning forward, and was about to say something when the young man sitting closest to Lin Qingsi, Yunxi, Lin Qingsi's most trusted assistant, smiled and said, "Mr. Semillian, you'd better leave directly. Otherwise, if the director loses his patience and drives you away, it will be embarrassing for both of us, don't you think?"
Semillian was furious, his hands were shaking with anger, he wanted to immediately pull out the black ring hidden on his body and give them a hard blow, but when he thought that he still needed them, he suppressed his anger, his face turned pale, and he got out of the car angrily.
He didn't say anything like "You'll regret this," which would only make him feel more pathetic. But deep down, Semillian had already decided that he would make them pay for this in the future.
As soon as Semillian's feet touched the ground, the doctor turned around and got into the car like an agile fat hamster. The door closed with a "click" and he left quickly.
This attitude, as if he were a source of pollution, made Semillian very angry.
The middle-aged fat man got into the car, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around to look at Semillian who was watching them with cold eyes, sighed and said: "This alien doesn't look like a broad-minded person. I'm afraid we will become mortal enemies now."
"I don't quite understand, Director. Didn't you say before that this person is very useful?" asked the young man who had been typing on the keyboard. His voice was crisp and carried an unconscious sense of cuteness. It turned out that he was a tomboy dressed in men's clothes.
"A useful person must also be able to be used by me." Lin Qingsi was very patient with his subordinates. He turned his head and glanced at Semillian who was behind the car, and said, "In this man's eyes, we are just a group of natives with low IQ. He is condescending to talk to us. In fact, he looks down on any of us. The so-called cooperation is nothing more than one-sided exploitation in his eyes, without even a trace of sincerity. Such a person is not worth cooperating with, otherwise he may drag you into the mud pit without you knowing. Moreover, do you know what the second mistake he just made is?"
The fat doctor and the tomboy both shook their heads.
Yunxi frowned and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Could it be that... Mr. Rong did not leave the manor?"
"I don't know if he was there before... but I am sure that he is back now." Lin Qingsi paused and said, "Since Semillian dared to attack the people under his protection, he must pay the price. So we must quickly cut off our relationship with him to avoid being implicated by him."
"In that case..." the fat doctor suggested honestly, "Maybe we shouldn't have let that guy get off the car alive. If he was caught, he would definitely betray us. Director, do you need me to make some arrangements?"
“No need.” Lin Qingsi said: “After all, he comes from a high-level civilization. Who knows what cards he has to fight to the death? If we act rashly, the consequences will be unpredictable. As for betrayal…”
Lin Qingsi didn't know what he was thinking about. He paused for a long time before he said in a low voice, "If he hadn't gotten off the car just now, we might have been implicated. But now, no matter what he said, this matter is over."
Yunxi and the others looked at each other, not understanding why said so confidently that "it's over", but looking at Lin Qingsi's expression, they wisely did not continue asking.
Lin Qingsi looked out the window, and countless trees were flowing toward the back of the car like flowing water. The car had already driven a long way, and the scenery outside the window had changed several times, but that figure seemed to be still engraved in his pupils.
The man was like fog condensed into shape, as if walking out of the void, suddenly appeared on the side of the road, and looked over from a distance.
Lin Qingsi didn't know why no one else saw Rong Yuan, just as he didn't know how Rong Yuan left and returned to the manor. He just subconsciously asked the driver to stop the car, then restrained his gaze from looking at him, followed his instinct, and drove Semillian, who had offended that man, out of the car.
Sure enough, Rong Yuan then walked towards Semillian. When their car drove away, he saw through the rear window that Rong Yuan put one hand on Semillian, who was probably cursing them on the side of the road. Then the tall man seemed to be frozen, and even his hair seemed to solidify.
Lin Qingsi didn't care what would happen to Semillian, but the glance they exchanged lingered in his mind for a long time.
As if seeing through everything, and as if being able to accommodate everything...
Lin Qingsi gritted his teeth hard, his palms trembled slightly, and then he wrinkled the stack of documents in his hand, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.
