Zhao Ying sat in his room, frowning tightly, and the expression on his face was very solemn. £∝
She was not worried about the current predicament of the Fierce Wind Knight. She was just thinking about how to explain all this to her grandfather. What made her even more confused was that things seemed to have exceeded her expectations and made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Zhao Ying really couldn't tell her grandfather that she felt ashamed of a npc. Because of this guilt, she had hesitation and concerns about how to deal with Luo Yu. It was precisely because of this that Luo Yu is now wandering outside the Liefeng Knight. The Liefeng Knight became Luo Yu's shield, but she did not firmly grasp Luo Yu.
At this point, Zhao Ying had to admit that there was something wrong with her handling. Although Luo Yu has not completely left her sight, she is not able to dominate the relationship between her and Luo Yu now, and the idle initiative has completely fallen into Luo Yu's hands.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Ying finally raised his head and said to the wall: "Click on grandpa's communication number."
"Yes, the master, is connecting, the connection is successful, waiting for the communication permission, the communication is established."
The gentle mechanical sound echoed in the room, and the wall suddenly lit up, as if connecting two distant spaces together.
A man who looked fifty or sixty appeared on the wall. He sat behind a table with some paper and folders spread out on the table. To his left hand, a cigar was emitting light blue smoke on a crystal ashtray.
"Yingying. Is there anything wrong? I heard that you Fiery Wind Knights are in some trouble?"
"Well. But it's not a big trouble. Some people want to unite against us."
"Do you need grandpa's help? If necessary, wouldn't grandpa help you build a few formations?"
Zhao Ying smiled and shook his head: "No need, I can handle it. If it really doesn't work, I'll tell my grandfather again."
"Okay, if you have any difficulties, you must tell grandpa. Do you want to talk about that?"
Zhao Ying nodded and smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, that matter seems to be a little out of control. Now Zhu Liu is away, but we have to help him block the pressure in front of him, if..."
The old man gradually restrained his smile on his face, and a cold light flashed in his sharp eyes: "Yingying, are you concerned about the Administration? In fact, as long as you control Zhu Liu in your hands, we can compromise appropriately with the Administration. At worst, the information can be shared."
Zhao Ying hesitated for a while, of course she couldn't tell her true feelings: "Grandpa. Not only the Administration, but also my friends, I must take into account their feelings."
"Are you talking about those children? I heard that one of them is the girl Xiaonan likes, right?"
Zhao Ying curled his lips: "That's just Xiao Nan's own idea. He doesn't have this intention."
The old man smiled, but he didn't mean to delve into it. He reached out to pick up the cigar on the ashtray. He took a strong breath, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the fragrance of the cigar.
"Yingying. You should understand the meaning of my asking you to do that, your grandma. The situation is getting worse and worse. I don't know when she can last."
Zhao Ying gritted his teeth: "I know, I also hope that my grandma can successfully achieve memory rebirth, but... Zhu Liu's identity is still unsure."
The old man looked at Zhao Ying strangely: "Isn't your task to determine this? As long as you control Zhu Liu, in order to escape, he will definitely tell the truth. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to determine whether he is the product of memory rebirth. This guy is really too cunning."
Zhao Ying knew what grandfather’s judgment basis was. Grandpa’s understanding of Zhu Liu mainly comes from his own report. Of course, maybe grandpa conducted investigations through other channels, but the results were definitely not ideal, otherwise grandpa would not say that.
Seeing that Zhao Ying was not making a sound, the old man sighed and said, "Yingying, I know this makes you embarrassed. You have to take into account your friend's righteousness and grandpa's request..."
"No, this is not only my request, but also my own wish. Grandpa, I know that my idea is wrong. Fish and bear paws cannot be both. We should definitely take care of our relatives first. However, I was hesitant, so I missed the opportunity to take action."
The old man smiled gently: "Yingying, in the future you will participate in the operation of the family. You must understand that emotional factors cannot be mixed with business. Public and private must be clear. You can think so. Everything you do now is a task and a business, and it has nothing to do with feelings."
Zhao Ying looked at his grandfather in shock: "That's why grandfather formally entrusted the Liefeng Knight?"
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that I will issue a task to the Liefeng Knight in the form of a formal commission. So, about Zhu Liu is a task, you can make it clear to your friends. If your friends cannot forgive me, then I can cancel this task and instead entrust another mercenary group or guild to complete this task."
"But..."
"Yingying, I can feel your friend's mood. In fact, it's a bit easier. If Zhu Liu was replaced by your grandmother and your friend was replaced by you and me, how would you feel?"
Zhao Ying looked at his grandfather in surprise: "Grandpa, do you mean Xiangxiang and the others know Zhu Liu?"
The old man shook his head slowly: "I didn't say that, I just said that there might be similar feelings between them."
"Fellowship? With an npc?"
The old man smiled softly: "It's not strange. Don't think it's such an incredible thing. I've seen many similar cases. There are people who fall in love with NPC in the game and even marry each other. This is not strange. Besides, I always think that Zhu Liu is very interesting. He may be the person we've been looking for."
Zhao Ying nodded: "Okay, I have heard of it, but it still feels a bit incredible when it happens around me. I always feel that feelings must be mutual, and it cannot be one-sided..."
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up. His tone was filled with strange expectations: "When you have your own child, you may not think so, and it may not be one-sided. Yingying. You think about it and explain it to your friends. If it doesn't work, then I will entrust someone else."
Zhao Ying shook his head firmly: "No, grandpa, I still have to continue doing it. It's related to my grandma. I can't sit still, and...and I think even if I know the truth, I may not get what we want."
The old man frowned: "You mean he might not tell us his secret?"
Zhao Ying shook his head: "Grandpa, even if he is the closest to perfect memory product, he himself may not know the secret. If he refuses to cooperate, we can't do anything about him. Haven't we found the location of his physical logic terminal so far?"
"I originally planned that if you can confirm Zhu Liu's value, I will find a way to apply for information review in World Tree."
"Grandpa, can this... be done?"
"What's wrong with it? It's just a matter of price. For your grandma, I'm willing to pay any price."
Zhao Ying was a little moved, but she was also a little worried. The Zhao family is now at the helm. But it is not the grandfather who can decide alone. Can grandfather's ideas really pass through the family's board of directors? Zhao Ying shook her head. It was not her turn to worry about this. She didn't even have the qualifications to listen to the board of directors yet.
"I understand. I will control Zhu Liu as soon as possible and figure out what kind of existence he is."
"Okay, then I'll ask you all. Yingying."
"Grandpa, this is also my wish, so I won't disturb your work."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
The communication was suspended, but Zhao Ying didn't feel relaxed at all. Although Zhao Ying agreed with her grandfather's statement and wanted to distinguish between public and private, can this really be distinguished? More importantly, her guilt not only targets Ye Junxiang and the others, but also feels inexplicably guilty towards Zhu Liu.
Maybe my grandfather unfortunately got it right, and Ye Junxiang and the others' relationship may not be one-sided, otherwise he would have inexplicably felt guilty towards Zhu Liu? How did he do it? Feelings are really too weird.
No matter how entangled Zhao Ying was, she had already agreed to her grandfather and had to take action. If she wanted to trap Luo Yu, she would definitely use Ye Junxiang, Yang Xiaodie and Liang Xiuer, but did she really have to explain honestly to them? If they knew their plans, would they escape from their side immediately? If that were the case, they might completely lose the fragile line connecting Zhu Liu.
But if I use them again without hiding them, wouldn’t it be too despicable? I feel a little disgusted? Maybe I should leave this to Xu Jing? But even if I don’t let Xu Jing do it, can I deceive myself?
Zhao Ying frowned in distress. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the photos on the wall. Seeing her grandmother holding her and her warm big family, she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind. Even if she bears this self-blame for the rest of her life, she must fight for the last chance for her grandmother and grandpa, otherwise she would never forgive herself.
Zhao Ying was on the line. It was night in the game world, but Xu Jing was on duty in the rented yard. Seeing Zhao Ying on the line, Xu Jing looked at Zhao Ying in surprise.
"Xiao Jing, I have decided to implement the No. 2 Plan."
Xu Jing was stunned, then smiled and nodded vigorously: "It's so good, I'm just trying to take revenge!"
Zhao Ying smiled bitterly: "Xiao Jing, don't you feel any guilt in your heart?"
"Cure? Why? Are you talking to Xiangxiang and Xiaodie?"
Xu Jing curled her lips and said casually, and Zhao Ying nodded.
Xu Jing grinned and said, "Yingying, you are just unhappy. You just detain an NPC and won't do anything to him. After we get the news we want, are you going to erase him?"
Zhao Ying shook his head in shock: "Even if I want to, I'm afraid I can't do it, right?"
"So, have we hurt him? As for Xiangxiang and the others... it seems that I am not very familiar with them. I have to do this. I want to scold them and scold me, but I don't care."
"But I care."
"Yingying, this is a task! I think they are very clear about it, otherwise Zhu Liu would not have used us like this."
Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment and said suddenly: "Is that true?"
"Of course, okay, leave this to me. You just need to follow my instructions."
Zhao Ying paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." (A good activity of pie falling from the sky, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you to get it!
