Chapter 267 [Heaven and Hell] (1)
Ye Qinghong turned around slowly with an umbrella, and looked at the group of people rushing towards him and frowned. She didn't want to fight with these vulgar scoundrels in close combat, so she took the simplest and most direct method. She raised her right hand behind her and aimed at the man rushing in front. A shot hit the man in the knee. After the man was shot, he lay down on the ground with a thud, and the kitchen knife in his hand flew to the side. The rest of the people were so scared that they stopped attacking.
Ye Qinghong raised his gun mercilessly and knocked down another person.
A sirens came from a distance. The group of people from the Kitchen Knife Association knew that the police were coming, and they dared not stay. They came over and wanted to help their companions escape. Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong knew their purpose, so how could they succeed. They both took action at the same time and put down the three of them. Only then did the kitchen Knife Association realize that they had hit a hard nail today. If they were taking care of their companions, they would probably be wiped out today. They fled in panic, leaving only the injured seven lying on the ground and wailing.
The concession police arrived at the scene soon. They arrived just after hearing the gunshots. Although Luo Lie was not very famous, Ye Qinghong, Mu Sanshou's goddaughter, was very famous. What's more, she once performed in Blue Mound and was very popular in Huangpu.
The police officers had dealt with the Kitchen Knife Association more than once. Knowing that these people were all cruel characters who did evil things, they took the Kitchen Knife Association away, and asked Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong to go to the police station to record their confessions.
Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong cooperated to record the confession and come out of the police room. The night was already dark and the rain had not stopped. Ye Qinghong was obviously disappointed. The group of people who attacked them just said that they were on orders. As for why they came to attack them, they didn't even know why they came to attack them. Of course, the target of this attack was Luo Lie, which had nothing to do with her. The reason why they attacked Ye Qinghong was because she accidentally appeared at the same time with Luo Lie.
Luo Lie held up an umbrella for Ye Qinghong in front of the police station, and smiled apologetically: "It seems that I have implicated you. Sorry, I should treat this supper today."
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Seeing that you are so sincere, I will give you a chance."
"What do you want to eat?"
Ye Qinghong said: "Let's Hangzhou Bang Cuisine in Yunhelou."
The dishes were very delicate and the red wine was very sweet. Ye Qinghong's heart was filled with the joy and pleasure of reunion. She cared not about the dish itself, but the man opposite who had dinner with her. But she quickly realized that Luo Lie was not as happy as himself. Although he concealed it well, she still captured the melancholy hidden deep in his eyes.
Ye Qinghong took a sip of red wine, slowly dropped the crystal goblet, and whispered: "Where have you been there during this period?"
Luo Liedao: "Sit around and waste your time."
"Love people!"
Luo Lie could naturally feel Ye Qinghong's change. This time she met, she became much gentler to herself and was much more accommodating. From their conversations and even from small things like ordering, she could see that she was trying to tolerate herself. Ye Qinghong's change must be for herself. Luo Lie did not deny that he had a good impression of Ye Qinghong, but although he sat here, a figure was always lingering in his heart.
Luo Lie habitually took out the cigarette, but soon remembered that the restaurant was banned and could only give up the idea of smoking.
Ye Qinghong said: "You are so addicted to smoking?"
Luo Lie nodded.
Ye Qinghong said: "I've quit."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "You have such a good voice, you can't ruin it by your temperament."
Ye Qinghong said: "I won't sing anymore!"
Luo Liedao: "What a pity!"
"Do you like to listen?" Ye Qinghong's beautiful eyes became extremely bright.
Luo Lie nodded.
Ye Qinghong originally wanted to say that as long as you like, I could sing for you at any time, but the words were swallowed back when they reached their lips. Wouldn't it be too reserved to say this? Will Luo Lie look down on himself because of this?
Luo Lie had already understood her heart from her expression of wanting to speak but stopping, and smiled and said, "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette."
Ye Qinghong nodded, looking at Luo Lie's back until he pushed the door open and walked towards the terrace. Ye Qinghong's heart was lost as the door closed. She could feel that Luo Lie had been escaping since she saw her. Something must have happened to him. Ye Qinghong wanted to share the burden with him, but realized that she could do nothing now. Maybe she could only wait, waiting for Luo Lie to open his heart door to him.
Luo Lie lit a cigarette on the terrace. The night along the Pu River was beautiful. Even in the night rain, the autumn rain cast a hazy filter on the night, adding a bit of mysterious poetry. The fragrance of tobacco mixed with fresh and moist air was sucked into his lungs. Luo felt that his mood was better than before, perhaps because of the passage of time, perhaps because he gradually accepted the fact that had happened, perhaps because he and Ye Qinghong reunite.
There is one thing Luo Lie clearly realizes that as long as life is still in life, it must continue.
Ye Qinghong waited for fifteen minutes in loneliness, as if she had spent half a century so long, and she had no intention of blaming Luo Lie. During this period, she was even wondering whether she would have waited without this reunion?
Ye Qinghong did not give her an answer, but she knew that she was a persistent person.
When Luo Lie came back, he was carrying a smoke that had not yet dissipated. Ye Qinghong felt inexplicably intimate about the aura on his body. Luo Lie sat down and did not apologize to her. First of all, he noticed that the bottle of red wine on the table had been drunk by Ye Qinghong.
Luo Lie said: "Is it because of me?"
Ye Qinghong's pretty face turned red. She didn't expect that Luo Lie would ask such a question directly after coming back. She bit her cherry lips and held the wine glass. The red wine in the wine glass had been drunk just now. If it were in the past, Ye Qinghong would definitely retort without mercy. Who do you think you are? But now she thinks it is meaningless to go around in circles on this issue, so she nodded and said, "Yes!" After pausing for a moment, she said, "So what?"
Luo Lie smiled, his smile a little bitter: "I am a very unlucky person, and people who are too close to me will be unlucky."
Ye Qinghong said: "Don't forget, I brought your bad luck." If it weren't for the fact that she had coerced Luo Lie to visit the treasures of the Past Mountain, if she hadn't set up so many dangers, Luo Lie wouldn't have encountered so many troubles. Ye Qinghong would have regretted it long ago. If she could have predicted that today, she would have been better to Luo Lie.
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Do you still remember Yan Tianxin?"
Ye Qinghong nodded, but her heart sank. Although she had never dealt with Yan Tianxin directly, she knew about the matter between Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin. In fact, after she parted with Luo Lie, she guessed that Luo Lie might have gone to find Yan Tianxin, and even thought that when they met again, Luo Lie might have been together with Yan Tianxin.
Luo Lie said: "She is dead!" He said this difficultly. In fact, when he witnessed Yan Tianxin's brain was destroyed and collapsed with his own eyes, he already understood that Yan Tianxin had left him forever, but he had never accepted such facts. This was because of Princess Long Yu, who used his own consciousness to combine with Yan Tianxin's body.
After the battle of the Lion King, Luo Lie did not find any trace of Princess Long Yu. In fact, whether she is alive or not, Yan Tianxin has disappeared from this world. Luo Lie talked about this for the first time in front of others, and also reminded himself to recognize this fact.
Ye Qinghong felt sad inside. This shouldn't be her response. Although she had not had much contact with Yan Tianxin, she had already regarded Yan Tianxin as her rival in her heart. It was better to have a happy loss of a rival in her heart, but she did not feel that she realized that her sadness was caused by Luo Lie. Ye Qinghong raised her hand and gently held Luo Lie's hand, hoping to give him some comfort in this way.
Luo Liedao: "I saw Bai Yunfei today."
Hearing Bai Yunfei's name, Ye Qinghong's expression showed a little disgust. She didn't understand the inside story. Bai Yunfei was an opportunist. He seized the opportunity to seize Mu Sanshou's property and filled the space left after Mu Sanshou's death.
Ye Qinghong had no interest in Mu Sanshou's industries in Huangpu. Although these industries were related to her, after she eliminated her enemies one by one, she had already made the decision to cut off all contact with the past before she went to Europe. If it weren't for the unremitting and chaotic relationship with Luo Lizhan, she would not have chosen to step on this land again. As for Mu Sanshou's funeral and the belonging of his wealth and power, Ye Qinghong had no interest in asking about it.
Ye Qinghong said: "He has asked me, and I have told him clearly that I will not ask about Mu Sanshou's affairs."
Luo Lie said: "He is now called Mu Tianluo. The reason why he can inherit Mu Sanshou's estate is because in the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace, Mu Sanshou handed him the smoke pole that he never left before his death, and there were some secrets in it."
Ye Qinghong said calmly: "Everyone is dead. Let him go over the past. Whether it is Bai Yunfei or Mu Tianluo, he can do whatever he wants. Don't worry that I will expose him."
Luo Lie said: "He is not worried about being exposed. Bai Yunfei is a man of some ability. It is a coincidence that Mu Sanshou chose him to be his heir. Bai Yunfei changed his name and became Mu Sanshou's nephew Mu Tianluo. In Tianjin, the case of assassination of the German consul has also been closed."
Ye Qinghong frowned and said, "He has some skills, and such a big thing can be resolved."
