"It seems that I can only find this candle."
After bringing Song Haoran into this seaside apartment, Luoqiu pointed at the candle on the coffee table, feeling helpless.
"It's indeed a sudden strange weather." Song Haoran sat down and looked at the orange flame of the candle, "Even the communication equipment was damaged."
He shook his head, "This kind of thing probably only happens in movies."
Luoqiu smiled and didn't say anything … He couldn't say that his hands were itchy, so he brought a natural disaster to the city.
"By the way, where's your girlfriend?" Song Haoran looked around at this time.
This was the fourth time he met with Luoqiu. In the first three times, he saw the girl who was inseparable from him.
Luoqiu poured a glass of lemonade and said casually, "She's tired today, so she went to bed early."
"Oh, then let her rest more." Song Haoran didn't seem to mind … Or rather, his expression made him feel that there was no third party present at this time, which was more to his liking.
He looked at Luoqiu and said, "I think you may have guessed something when I came here this time, right?"
Luoqiu nodded.
Song Haoran said directly, "Then I'll beat around the bush. This is the test report I got from the hospital. I watched the whole process. Fortunately, the result came out before the storm, otherwise, I'm afraid I have to wait for more time. "
Speaking of this, Song Haoran smiled slightly, "It seems that this is God's will. God's will let me deal with this matter today."
Luoqiu took the test report from Song Haoran and read it carefully without replying. Song Haoran waited quietly. He knew that no matter who it was, facing such a result, they would need some time to digest.
After a long time, Luoqiu slowly sighed, "It seems that my grandfather is Song Tianyin. Mr. Song, thank you for bringing me this news. "
Song Haoran laughed and said, "Mr. Song? You should change the way you address me. According to seniority, you should call me uncle, and a real uncle at that. "
Luoqiu thought for a while. He looked at Song Haoran and suddenly said, "I need some time."
Even for Ren Ziling, after so many years, Luoqiu had never called out 'Mom', let alone Song Haoran.
Song Haoran didn't know that the so-called 'little time' in front of him would probably take a very, very long time. He only thought that it was just a matter of time before he got used to it, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Suddenly meeting a stranger on the streets of a foreign country, and after a few coincidences, discovering that the two parties were relatives who had been separated for a long time. If it were Song Haoran himself, he would not be able to accept it immediately.
But it didn't matter — Song Haoran believed that there would be plenty of time in the future for the Song family's bloodline, who had been lost outside, to acknowledge their ancestors.
"Let's not talk about this first." Song Haoran nodded and then said seriously, "Luoqiu, when do you plan to go back this time?"
"Do you need me to go somewhere?" Luoqiu thought for a while and asked.
Song Haoran smiled and said, "As expected of a member of the Song family, you're a smart child. Then I'll get straight to the point. My father wants to meet you in person, but it's not convenient for him to go out, so I hope you can come with me. "
Song Haoran looked at Luoqiu's expression and said slowly and carefully, "Of course, it's not that we're asking you to do anything, but as a younger generation, it's natural for you to go and meet your elders. And I also hope that you can come with me. Don't worry, if you don't have enough time to get a visa, I can help you deal with it … Right, doesn't your father have a second wife? If it's convenient, I can send someone to pick her up. "
Luoqiu shook his head and suddenly said, "I don't want her to know about this for the time being."
Song Haoran didn't ask any more questions — he was a person who grew up with a very traditional education from Song Tianyou.
Song Tianyou was an ambitious and ruthless person from the old era, so he didn't lack some of the ideas of the old era.
For example, the words of the man in the family had the final say.
As for Luoqiu's branch, he was the only male descendant. Thus, he, Luoqiu, could make his own decisions.
In fact, as Song Tianyou's biological elder brother, Song Tianyin belonged to the eldest branch of the Song family. As for Luoqiu, he could be considered as the eldest grandson of the Song family. For the Song family, which used to be a large family, the matters of etiquette were particularly particular.
The words of a male descendant of the eldest branch were naturally more important than the opinions of a concubine of the eldest branch.
Thus, Song Haoran nodded and said, "Yes, I can listen to you on this matter. Then when can we leave? "
Luoqiu frowned slightly. "Mr Song, before we leave, is there anything else you should tell me? For example, your background and so on … a normal businessman shouldn't have that kind of skill, right? "
Song Haoran wasn't surprised that Luoqiu would have such doubts … or perhaps, it was because Luoqiu had such doubts that he felt it was normal — otherwise, this young man's calmness was close to that of a monster.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you too much right now." Song Haoran was silent for a while. "However, you have the qualifications to know everything. I think it would be more appropriate for my father to tell you personally."
Luoqiu was expressionless.
Song Haoran knew that it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of him — although his father said that he must bring him back, Song Haoran naturally didn't like to use violence. After all, this was a family of blood. If he didn't have a good impression of him from the beginning, it would be more troublesome to improve their relationship in the future.
"Let's put it this way." Song Haoran decided to reveal some information in advance. "We don't do honest business. But you can rest assured that my father is very principled. Although our business is extensive, we have never touched anything of the motherland. What we earn is the money of the foreigners. "
Luoqiu nodded.
Song Haoran quickly said at this time, "But you can rest assured that you will never encounter any danger on the way … Or rather, as long as we are in South America and want to protect a person with all our strength, he will definitely not die."
"I want to think about it." Luoqiu gave an answer after a long time.
This answer didn't seem to be beyond Song Haoran's expectation. He knew very well that going too far was as bad as falling short, so he stood up very decisively. "This is my phone number. The communication should be restored tomorrow. I will wait for your reply. After that, I won't leave here for the time being. "
"I'll send you off." Luoqiu nodded.
Song Haoran quickly left the seaside park and walked on the dim seaside path. At this time, Luoqiu slowly closed the door and walked into the apartment.
The candle was less than half burned, and Luoqiu, who was standing in front of the candlelight, was like an illusion. A gust of sea breeze blew from outside, and 'he' scattered into fine dust and disappeared.
This was just a temporary doppelganger — the boss's real body was still in the club.
…
In the study, Boss Luo slowly opened his eyes.
Many times, he could see You Ye's face at the first moment when he opened his eyes, which made him feel comfortable.
The servant girl was holding a tray covered with a black cloth. She looked at her master and asked, "Has Mr. Song left?"
"Yes, he has." Luoqiu nodded, "Fortunately, I left a temporary doppelganger in the apartment."
You Ye smiled, "It seems that Mr. Song and the others finally know the answer."
Luoqiu said softly, "It will be soon. I think it will take one or two days … Have you found the thing? "
You Ye put the tray in front of Luoqiu, and then lifted the black cloth on it. There were three different things on it.
The first was a crown made of some kind of metal, and its shape was woven with olive branches and leaves.
The second item was a silver ring.
The last thing he saw was a transparent black crystal bottle.
Boss Luo took the olive branch crown in his hand and played with it. At the same time, the information about this crown appeared in his mind.
This was the Gospel Crown.
As for the ring, it was a tool that could give ordinary people the ability to use magic. Its name was quite simple: Ring of Blessing.
This kind of blessing could not give people luck as if they were favored by the Goddess of Luck, but it could cheer people up, relieve pain, and get rid of some minor illnesses and pains. At the same time, it gave people positivity, optimism, and kindness.
Of course, the real source of the Ring of Blessing's effect was that it could give ordinary people a strong psychological hint. By stimulating some of the people's potential, it could slightly improve a person's spirit and physical strength.
As for the black crystal bottle, it was actually a vessel used to collect and preserve souls — similar to the box that Boss Luo once gave to Tyrant Nero.
Looking at the three pieces in front of him, Boss Luo suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't we change the name?"
Miss Maid said softly, "Master, give it a name."
Boss Luo had a flash of mischievous interest and said, "Let's call it the Quack Set."
"Well, let's call it this name." Miss Maid was still elegant.
Boss Luo was very bored. He shook his head and said, "Since this is the Gospel Crown, and the ring and bottle are also for auxiliary use, let's call it the Gospel Set … Later, send them to Buggy and teach him how to use them."
"Understood." Miss Maid nodded.
Boss Luo looked at You Ye at this time and said coldly, "I will leave alone for a while. During my absence, I will temporarily give you the same authority as me. If there is business, you can make the decision yourself. "
Miss Maid nodded and followed her master's orders unconditionally.
Luoqiu said, "Since you make the decision yourself, we will do it according to your preferences. I am lazy this time … But, I hope that when I come back, I can see some of your masterpieces. "
"Don't you need to bring You Ye along?" Miss Maid suddenly asked softly.
"After this time, see which Black Soul's vacation is about to end and wake them up." Boss Luo was silent for a moment, "At present, only you can help Buggy. I am most assured."
"I understand." You Ye nodded, "Then, I will go out, master."
"Wait."
The Miss Servant turned round.
Boss Luo said softly, "Even if I am not here, remember to eat on time, taste different flavors and remember them in your heart. Tell me when I'm back. "
"Okay!"
Finally, after You Ye left the study, Luoqiu said to himself.
"After following the previous master for hundreds of years, her knowledge and experience are far beyond mine … Then, when you don't have to worry about restrictions and can make decisions for yourself …"
"The Saintess who holds the flag of freedom high …"
He seemed to be looking forward to something … and pondered.
…
…
Caroline curled up in the corner of the sofa, draped in a blanket that Arno found for her.
The power had not been restored, and the communication system was still blocked. Even the TV series could not be watched. The old-fashioned radio that Arnold found only had static.
There was no incandescent light, only candlelight. Everything seemed to have returned to an era before modern civilization.
Only men and women were in the same room.
"Do you want to eat beans?"
Arnold's voice came from the darkness. Caroline could see a moving blurry figure. In this case, it was obviously impossible to order takeout. As for cooking by herself, it was even more impossible.
So Arnold was making some canned food.
"Thank you."
Arnold walked out of the darkness with two plates in his hands. Caroline took one of the plates. Perhaps because she was too tired, she had not eaten since she woke up in the morning. At this time, her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
This cheap canned bean unexpectedly exuded a tempting fragrance.
"You … You really can't remember what happened last night?"
As he ate, Arnold looked at Caroline hesitantly. Before this, Caroline had briefly explained what happened before she escaped in the morning.
Caroline put down the spoon and shook her head. "I really can't remember. When I woke up, I saw Livia sitting on a stool, her body covered in blood. Back then … back then, I was very scared. I don't know why, but I was still holding onto a blood-stained knife. "
After saying that, Caroline turned to look at Arnold with a complicated expression.
Arnold lowered his head with a wry smile and said faintly, "I don't know what the police think, but if it were me … I would believe you."
"Why?" Caroline abruptly asked.
Arnold sighed and said, "No one knows better than me how bad of a person Haley is. Do you know? My mother has a bad heart, we all know that. However, Haley angered her to the point of having a heart attack … on the day of the funeral, he was still taking heroin with a group of people and did not appear. "
Caroline was stunned. She could clearly see the hatred contained within Arnold's eyes.
If she were to put herself in his shoes, Arnold's hatred toward Haley was not without reason. For example, this time, she had mistaken the two of them and nearly stabbed Arnold's body with a Western food.
Since he was a child … perhaps he had encountered many cases where he had to take the blame for Haley.
"You … can you find him? Haley? "
Arnold shook his head and said, "I would never take the initiative to look for him. Especially not so long ago. After he was released from prison, we basically had no contact … except for that time when he came to my house to look for me."
Arnold suddenly sneered and said, "Back then, I thought that this person might have some regrets after being in prison. Unexpectedly, he came to me to borrow money … do you know why he wanted to borrow money? He wanted to buy a gift to make a woman happy. The reason was that he wanted to snatch the woman away from him – yes, that woman was his enemy's girlfriend. "
Caroline shook her head … she had actually met many people like Haley, both in the slums and in the outside world.
The filthy nature of men was something she could never imagine.
"Does he usually go anywhere?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know." Arnold shook his head. Seemingly recalling something, he suddenly asked, "By the way, when you attacked me, what did you say … that I snatched your money? How much did you lose? Do you need it urgently? If possible, I still have some savings here. I can … "
"No need." Caroline shook her head.
How could a poor student like Arnold be able to repay the money in that bank card?
"You shouldn't have brought so much cash with you." Arnold sighed.
Caroline frowned and said, "How do you know how much I brought?"
Arnold was stunned and said, "Not much? But I saw that you were very excited at that time. I think the amount should be quite a lot, right? "
Caroline turned her face away and said, "It's nothing. It's just a bank card."
Arnold breathed a sigh of relief and said, "A bank card? Well, you can go and report the loss. Besides, even if he took your card, it would be useless. He can't possibly know the password, right? "
