Chapter 1126 - 1123: Xiao Ling
Gabra was anxious, his eyes fixed on the license plate of the car behind them; as long as he could remember the plate, he could find the person.
In the Jeep sat Lin Chuan and his companions. The Jeep belonged to the border troops, arranged by Kong Liang to take Lin Chuan and his companions to the station.
Lin Chuan and Li Xiangguo were directly taken to the airport by the Jeep sent by Kong Liang. By evening, they were at General's house in Beijing.
The group of Miss Lan did not go to General's house. They were placed elsewhere by Li Xiangguo.
Upon meeting General, Lin Chuan recounted everything that happened at Kunlun Mountain. General was not too saddened by Iron Bull's death.
After finishing his talk with General, Lin Chuan chatted for a while, then left to go to where the Dark Soldier members were resting.
At this moment, Miss Lan had not yet rested. She had been waiting for Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan didn't take the Gold Summit Spirit Snake to General, but it had been following Miss Lan all along. This little one had become attached to Miss Lan, sticking to her.
Actually, Miss Lan had another purpose for carrying the little one. As long as it followed her, Lin Chuan would come to find her.
When Lin Chuan saw Miss Lan, it was around ten at night. Song Hui and the others were in a different room. They were aware of the feelings between Miss Lan and Lin Chuan, so when Lin Chuan arrived, they tactfully refrained from interrupting.
At this time, the two were alone in a room.
Miss Lan looked at Lin Chuan with affection, unable to resist throwing herself into his arms.
Lin Chuan held Miss Lan in his arms, his mouth moved towards Miss Lan's red lips for a kiss.
Just before Lin Chuan's mouth touched Miss Lan's lips, the little one darted out from somewhere and landed on Lin Chuan's shoulder, hissing twice.
Dang, Lin Chuan couldn't kiss Miss Lan anymore. He said to the little one, "Could you disappear for a moment? I have something to do with Miss Lan."
The little one reluctantly hissed twice at Lin Chuan, then flew up and circled around before landing on Miss Lan's shoulder, staring at Lin Chuan with its small eyes.
Miss Lan's face turned crimson, her eyes swept coquettishly over Lin Chuan before she freed herself from his embrace, holding the little one in her hand and gently saying, "Xiao Ling, behave."
Lin Chuan heard Miss Lan give the little one a name, Xiao Ling, and found it quite fitting. He chuckled, "Xiao Ling, it's a pretty good name."
Both of Xiao Ling's small eyes looked at Miss Lan, its snakehead slightly drooping, unwillingly twisting its body in Miss Lan's hand.
It seemed that carrying the little one around made it inconvenient to get close to women.
Miss Lan raised her other hand, gently stroking the little one's body and said, "Xiao Ling, be good. I'll take you out to play later."
The little one kept its head drooped, and Lin Chuan said, "Little one, I'm making a pact with you: if you misbehave, I'll send you back."
The little one raised its head, hissed at Lin Chuan twice, and then darted out from Miss Lan's hand, swiftly disappearing under the sofa.
Miss Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing; the little one indeed had some adorable energy.
With the little one gone, Lin Chuan naturally couldn't miss the chance to get romantic with Miss Lan and leaned over to her.
Just before kissing Miss Lan, the phone rang again.
Ugh, good things don't come easy. Lin Chuan cursed inwardly and reluctantly parted from Miss Lan to answer the call.
The call was from General Chen Zhenguo, telling Lin Chuan to come over immediately.
Not long after leaving General's house, Lin Chuan wondered if something had happened again. He didn't dare delay and quickly informed Miss Lan before rushing back to General's place.
Once there, General told Lin Chuan that just now, Kong Liang from the Kunlun Mountain border troops had called Li Xiangguo, saying a man named Gabra was looking for someone carrying Yin Yang Double Jade.
Li Xiangguo didn't know about the Yin Yang Double Jade, but Kong Liang said this Gabra insisted the person was on the Jeep sent to the airport, claiming he must see them as he had something important to tell.
Kong Liang had to call Li Xiangguo, who then called General, unsure who it might be.
Not many people knew about Yin Yang Double Jade. Upon hearing Li Xiangguo's call, General quickly summoned Lin Chuan.
This caught Lin Chuan by surprise, as he had never heard the name Gabra.
However, since this person knew about Yin Yang Jade, Lin Chuan figured he must know some other details, so he quickly called Kong Liang, instructing him to bring Gabra to Beijing overnight.
...
Yang Zi was terrified and fainted when the Blood Puppet carried her away. When she awoke, she found herself lying on a wooden bed.
Looking around, I found myself in a small room. In the light reflected from outside, I could see that, apart from a wooden bed, the room was almost empty.
Yang Zi sat up from the wooden bed, her clothes were intact, and she felt no discomfort. What was that invincible guy doing bringing her to this place? Where exactly was this?
Yang Zi got off the bed, walked to the door, and reached out to open it, discovering that the door could indeed be opened.
Gently pushing the door open, Yang Zi stepped out. Outside was a corridor with lights but no people, giving it a very quiet atmosphere.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zi walked down the corridor. It wasn't long, only about ten meters, and at the end was a very narrow staircase.
Yang Zi went down the stairs, reaching the floor below, which also had a corridor, still devoid of people.
Yang Zi felt a bit frightened, hesitating whether to continue going down.
"You're awake." Just as Yang Zi was hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
Yang Zi jumped in fright, quickly turning around, only to see that at some point, a man had appeared behind her, smiling at her.
The man looked quite decent, very tall, dressed in blue tracksuits, seemed to be in his thirties, with a friendly smile on his cheeks.
"Who are you, and why did you bring me here? What kind of place is this?" Yang Zi stared at the man, asking loudly.
With a slight smile, the man said, "This is my home, my name is Mu Lingqing."
Mu Lingqing, the name was very unfamiliar, and she had never seen the man before, couldn't help but say, "Why did you bring me to your home?"
Mu Lingqing still had a smile on his face and said, "Chairman Yang, I am your savior, shouldn't you speak a bit more politely to your savior?"
The one who saved her from the police was some kind of indestructible freak, but this man in front of her didn't seem like the one who saved her.
"Are you saying you rescued me?" Yang Zi stared at Mu Lingqing, asking.
Mu Lingqing nodded with a smile, saying, "Yes, apart from the blood puppet I crafted, who else could have the ability to rescue you from the police?"
"Why did you save me?" Yang Zi asked curiously.
Mu Lingqing's eyes suddenly exuded a coldness, with the smile on his face vanishing, saying, "I saved you because we have a common enemy."
Common enemy, Yang Zi's mind raced, she and Mu Lingqing had never met, so how could they have a common enemy, couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"
Mu Lingqing gritted his teeth, saying hatefully, "Lin Chuan."
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's name, Yang Zi was stunned, Lin Chuan was not her enemy; Lin Chuan was the man she loved most in her heart.
Although Yang Zi had come to this point partly due to Lin Chuan, she had never seen him as her enemy.
"I think you're mistaken, Lin Chuan is not my enemy." Yang Zi said.
Mu Lingqing gave a cold smile, saying, "Chairman Yang, I know you are infatuated with Lin Chuan; it is precisely to have him that you ended up here today, so he is your enemy."
Yang Zi was stunned.
Mu Lingqing continued, "Since Lin Chuan is both your enemy and mine, we should be able to cooperate, Lin Chuan must die."
Yang Zi did not want Lin Chuan to die. She was still fantasizing about being with Lin Chuan, saying, "I'm sorry, Lin Chuan is not my enemy. I won't allow anyone to harm him, even if you are my savior. If you hurt Lin Chuan, I won't let you go."
Mu Lingqing laughed instead of getting angry, saying, "Chairman Yang is indeed a woman of deep affection, which I truly admire. Fine, just because of your sincere love, I promise to bring Lin Chuan back to your side. Would you be interested in working with me?"
Having Lin Chuan back by her side was always Yang Zi's wish. Her heart immediately became interested, saying, "How do you want me to work with you?"
Mu Lingqing did not rush to say, and instead said, "Since Chairman Yang agreed to cooperate, we shouldn't stand here and talk. Come, let's go to my room and discuss slowly."
Yang Zi had no objections and followed Mu Lingqing into a room.
Upon entering the room, Yang Zi detected a faint fragrance, which felt quite comfortable to smell.
On the north wall of the room, there was a gray statue, peculiar in appearance. It depicted a Taoist with a long sword on his back and a long beard, wearing an ancient Taoist hat.
Yang Zi had been to several Taoist temples, but had never seen such a statue. It vaguely resembled Lü Dongbin among the Eight Immortals, yet had distinct differences.
After sitting down, Mu Lingqing noticed Yang Zi kept staring at the statue and said, "This is Xuanxu Zi, the founding master of my Maoshan Tao. You probably haven't seen him before."
The Maoshan Tao is not the same as the real-world Maoshan Taoism.
