Once they were out of the overly clear glow of the sunset, the two of them unconsciously ignored the strangeness that had just occurred to them.
The top floor of the building.
The metal rod shimmered, as if it were suspended above the sea, and the top of the lightning rod flashed with a blinding white light.
After regaining her senses, Gu Xinglan realized that she had taken the elevator to the rooftop of the Baolian Hotel.
Through the glass, a huge yellow "H" can be seen spread out on the green lawn.
Helipad?
"A surprise for you."
Oh, he had already dismissed what the man had said when he put his coat on him as mere politeness.
The surrounding tranquility vanished the moment Li Taihe pressed the button on his watch.
Suddenly, a low hum sounded from behind.
Reflected light through the glass...
Drone?
What is this guy up to now?
Before Gu Xinglan could get a clear look, the next second, the low rumbling sound was replaced by a huge sonic boom, and it felt like the whole building was shaking, as if it were an illusion.
I go!
Like a giant beast, it emerged from below, its several rapidly flapping wings drawing in all the surrounding air.
It was as if the movement of air was visualized.
He had never seen such a scene before.
Gu Xinglan was so frightened that she froze on the spot, her eyes wide open.
Is this a surprise? More like a shock!
"Didn't you want to go to Venice to see St. Mark's Basilica?" Li Taihe put his arm around Gu Xinglan's waist.
The waist was warm and tinged with a hint of madness.
Everything was going in a direction he couldn't understand.
All the chaos came when they saw the drone reflected in the glass.
A sudden realization dawned on me.
[At the start of the program, you must have a reasonable excuse to temporarily conceal your identity.] [How will you conceal it?] [When the time comes, I will have someone tell you how to conceal it...]
"You Li family members are really tight-lipped." With the roar of the plane wings in her ears and the mask she had taken from the venue on her face, Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth and endured it.
But Li Taihe had already taken off his mask.
His face was completely unmasked, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. It was clearly a faint smile, but when facing the flying behemoth, the smile seemed to carry endless freedom.
It seems that every pore of his skin is revealing that this person is in a very happy mood.
Even the magnificent sunset on the rooftop became almost just a backdrop for this person.
He emptied his wallet of 100 million to buy a fake and he's still so happy? Thinking of this, Gu Xinglan's lips twitched slightly.
A slight bitterness welled up in my heart.
Happiness cannot be shared between people.
He didn't know why Li Taihe was happy to have won the bid for that tiny lotus root, nor did he know what this person was planning.
But it's not a good thing in the end.
All he can do is to make the relationship between the two people even closer, so that they can be on the same boat. If the storm gets too big, everyone will capsize.
Gu Xinglan covered her mask, and using the hand on her waist and the drone behind her, she leaned close to the other person's ear and called out, "President Li, are you sending me away?"
Immediately afterwards, a strong scent seemed to waft towards me, even through the mask—
"You have two choices: either board the plane yourself or stay here."
The show only needs one person named "Gu Xinglan," but whether it's him or not is almost irrelevant to Li Taihe.
This person was clearly joking with him, asking a question whose answer he already knew.
"Of course I'll stay!"
Gu Xinglan affirmed.
The drone flew through the glass skylight and into the room, its black lens pointing directly at his face from above.
He only felt his eyes stinging from the wind blowing from the wings.
Even with blurred vision, he could still see how close he was to the person next to him through the reflection in the lens.
If this scene were released...
It's a commemorative video filmed by a loving couple as they prepared for their honeymoon.
And he is now one of the main characters in it.
Her previously neatly styled dark hair was now tangled and plastered messily to her cheeks and forehead, while her eyes, hidden beneath strands of hair, shone with a rosy glow.
Even with a mask on, her tenderness and affection cannot be concealed.
Without realizing it, the word "value" came to mind.
His close relationship with Le Thai Ho depended on how valuable he was to Le Thai Ho.
Gu Xinglan looked up and suddenly met the other person's eyes.
Li Taihe's eyes were like a bonfire lit in the deep mountains, so deep that they seemed to hold endless whirlpools.
He recognized that look in her eyes.
It just happened.
Thinking of that gentle kiss, Gu Xinglan suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation on the side of her face.
This person is always good at acting, even if it goes against their own sexual orientation.
If Rye Thai-ho can act, why can't he?
Gu Xinglan cleared her throat, stood on tiptoe, and slowly, without lingering, lightly touched the other person's chin through the mask. Finally, she whispered:
"Consider it me returning the money to you, then we're even."
……
The auction lasted only a day and a half.
But he was in dire straits, his lifespan was constantly shrinking.
As night fell, he got into the car and left.
In the back seat of the car, the two people remained silent.
Gu Xinglan kept shifting her position and changing her posture, her eyes fixed on the view outside the window.
"Are you in a hurry?"
The man next to him, Li Taihe, was wearing office glasses, the lenses of which reflected the computer screen.
And inevitably, the computer screen will show someone anxiously glancing repeatedly at the corners of the window.
"No, I'm just hungry."
Gu Xinglan brushed it off.
A black Bentley cruised through the night, passing streets lined with trees as tall as two people.
When autumn arrives, all the leaves fall down in a flurry, and the wheels of cars crunch and creak as they run over them.
Upon arriving at their destination, as soon as the car stopped, Gu Xinglan unbuckled her seatbelt, quickly stepped out, and leaned out the window as she left, saying, "Have a pleasant business trip!"
After saying that, the car slowly started moving again.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Li Yue, in the passenger seat, laughed and said, "What are you hungry for? You're just scared by the auction."
"scare?"
Li Taihe stopped typing.
"Yeah, at six o'clock in the restaurant, this guy was in a daze while eating."
Upon hearing this, Li Huiwen, in the driver's seat, was prompted by a minor detail—this evening, someone had indeed become silent after leaving the auction venue. If it was due to fear, then there was a high possibility that they would reveal something they shouldn't. So he said:
"President Li, do you need me to do some persuasion with him?"
“No need, he did very well today,” Li Taihe replied calmly.
Both the driver and passenger were taken aback.
Li Yuechang couldn't help but ask, "How so? Isn't that old rascal Bai Kairui just trying to find something on you so he can feel at ease?"
At most, I'll put on a tragic love story in front of him to get by.
Actually, he's good at acting. If he weren't so big and burly, he could do it too.
Li Yuechang's mind raced, and he remembered what the other party had specifically pointed out when they invited them... Damn it, they actually dared to threaten them openly and secretly.
The boss and the man surnamed Bai hadn't seen each other for a year and a half. The man surnamed Bai kept bragging to others that the Li family was protecting his dilapidated building.
The situation outside is not good now; they dare to take advantage of any slight disturbance.
I should have taught this person a lesson, but after thinking about it carefully...
They are looking for a wide variety of things, and there are many places where they need this person.
The thought of this person being so smug and clueless about his current situation made Li Yuechang chuckle. He said, "That kid really dares to dream. The Ji family? Coming all the way from North America to settle scores here? Do they think they're some kind of primitive gibbon?"
"That's not what I said."
Taking advantage of the red light, Li Huiwen slowly said, "This year's survey data hasn't come out yet, but based on the analysis of previous years, at least in Wushui, there are pieces that the other side has."
Is the person who's been plotting in the shadows this guy who plays childish gangster games in English?
Li Yuechang touched his chin.
"What a pity, those guys locked up in Changgu, they all couldn't take it after a few interrogations and died. What a waste of my energy..."
"You swore again, I'll dock two months' salary."
"you dare……"
……
The driver and passenger were going back and forth.
The people in the back seat ignored them.
His gaze would sometimes wander, sometimes become focused; his fingers would lightly move on the touchpad; his brow would furrow for a moment with each movement, as if a thousand thoughts were running through his mind, but in an instant, he would return to his nonchalant indifference.
