Chapter 172 Mission Failed
Chapter 172 Mission Failed
July 31st.
in the afternoon.
Lu Huaiyuan looked at the person who was about to go out and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"Didn't you say that everything for today had been arranged? Why are you suddenly going out again?"
Hearing this, Rong Jingyan smiled at him and said, "It's nothing serious. A friend just asked me for help. I'll be back soon."
"Ah."
Lu Huaiyuan nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Rong Jingyan raised his head and kissed him, then said, "A Yuan, wait for me to come back."
As he pulled away, Lu Huaiyuan reached out and clasped the back of his head, deepening the kiss.
Rong Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then hooked his arms around his neck and kissed him back instantly.
Lu Huaiyuan couldn't see his expression at the moment, but he felt that the person today seemed to be particularly proactive.
After the kiss ended, both of them couldn't help but breathe heavily.
Rong Jingyan stared at the person in front of him for a long time, and finally let him go.
"I'm leaving."
Lu Huaiyuan raised his chin slightly: "I want to eat the cakes from Furongzhai."
Hearing him say this, Rong Jingyan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
His expression was gentle, and he simply said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you when I come back."
After Rong Jingyan finished speaking, he turned around and left the house under Lu Huaiyuan's gaze.
Lu Huaiyuan stared at his departing back, his expression ambiguous.
During this period, he vaguely felt that Rong Jingyan's mood seemed to be a little off.
But if you look closely, you won't find any clues.
At this moment, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking it.
But no matter whether he was overthinking it or not, he could feel that Rong Jingyan was hiding something from him.
Moreover, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of telling him.
However, since Rong Jingyan was unwilling to say, there was no need for him to dig into the matter.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze and turned into the room.
-----------------
After Rong Jingyan left, Lu Huaiyuan read for a while in the study.
But he couldn't calm down and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He originally wanted to ask Xiaoqi to investigate, but Xiaoqi's condition looked even more wrong.
Lu Huaiyuan released it, but it was a little unruly and aggressive and tried to bite people.
Seeing this, Lu Huaiyuan frowned and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
He held the whole fox in his arms and gave it some divine power.
Xiao Qi seemed to be a little unclear in mind and tried to escape, but was controlled by Lu Huaiyuan.
And with the infusion of divine power, it gradually quieted down.
After a while, Xiao Qi seemed to wake up and rubbed against Lu Huaiyuan's arms.
"Sir." It spoke, but its voice sounded a little weak.
Lu Huaiyuan frowned slightly and asked, "How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Qi said: "It's okay, I don't feel uncomfortable."
What it didn't say was that it didn't feel uncomfortable, but it just felt inexplicably irritated.
Xiao Qi thought, if you use one sentence to describe what it saw, it would probably be that it was about to go berserk!
Lu Huaiyuan didn't know what it was thinking, he just reached out and rubbed its head.
"But what happened?" he asked.
Xiao Qi shook his head when he heard this, and seemed a little confused: "I don't know!"
Lu Huaiyuan felt strange, but before he could say anything, a familiar prompt sounded.
【alarm! alarm! alarm! 】
[The mission target has been detected to have no vital signs, and the mission has been determined to have failed.]
Hearing this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The next moment, his eyes were filled with coldness, and even his entire body was surrounded by an icy aura.
Xiao Qi's reaction was a little slower than his, but he was so frightened that his fox fur stood up.
woo woo woo...
If it says that this is not what it ordered to be broadcast, will anyone believe it?
The reaction of the man and the fox only lasted a moment, but the broadcasting voice continued.
[The tasker has failed the task and will be forced to exit the small world.]
[Transmitting...]
.........
【Transmission failed!!!】
When I said the mission failed, Xiao Qi felt that it was all over.
Now when it heard the words "transmission failed", it knew that it was really doomed.
[Mission... Ziz... Invasion... Ziz... Ziz... Interference... Ziz... Ziz...]
Xiao Qi was extremely frightened and didn't care about anything else. He quickly stretched out his claws and grabbed Lu Huaiyuan's arm.
"Sir, calm down!"
"I beg you, please..."
Before Xiaoqi could finish his words, Lu Huaiyuan gently touched his head.
"Be good, don't be afraid, go get some sleep first."
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, sir, I... I..."
It wanted to say something else, but in the end it couldn't resist the sudden sleepiness and fell asleep.
After Xiaoqi fell asleep, the entire system space became quiet.
Lu Huaiyuan lowered his head, placed a kiss on its head, and whispered, "Be good, I'll take you to get revenge."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes, and in his dark pupils, hostility was constantly surging, as if it wanted to devour everything.
-----------------
Not many people know the truth about Rong Jingyan's affairs, and the conclusion given by the outside world is unexpected.
Obviously, no one is willing to believe such an absurd result.
Those people pretended to catch the murderer, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Although people from all walks of life are speaking out for Rong Jingyan, this matter can be said to have been done perfectly.
There is no murderer, no evidence, and no force pointing to any party.
Even if someone wanted to do something about it, there was nothing they could do.
On the other side, without any system investigating secretly, Lu Huaiyuan went directly to the so-called friend mentioned by Rong Jingyan.
This was the person who met Rong Jingyan in the Western restaurant.
The other party was not surprised to see him coming.
After all, the people protecting Rong Jingyan were all arranged by the Lu family.
Besides, it is well known that he has a good relationship with Lu Huaiyuan.
Now that Rong Jingyan had suddenly encountered an accident, it was expected that Lu Huaiyuan would investigate.
So, after greeting each other, Lu Huaiyuan got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Qi, I want to know what exactly happened to you that day."
Pingzhou is the territory of other forces, and the organization to which Rong Jingyan belongs has always acted in private.
Therefore, Rong Jingyan would avoid other people most of the time.
This also led to the fact that when he got into trouble, there was no one arranged by Lu Huaiyuan around him, and Lu Huaiyuan had no way of knowing the specific situation at the scene.
Hearing his question, the other party did not answer directly, but said: "Sorry, Mr. Lu."
"May I ask, what is your relationship?"
Lu Huaiyuan said frankly: "He is my lover."
Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he didn't have any other reaction.
However, he chose to tell the truth about what had happened before.
Mr. Qi looked at Lu Huaiyuan and said, "Rong Jingyan is a member of our organization."
"But this matter has always been kept secret."
He sighed and looked somewhat disappointed. "But I don't know where this commander in Pingzhou got the news from."
"He arrested other members of our organization and several students and threatened Mr. Rong to go there."
Mr. Qi: "Originally, Mr. Rong had already arranged everything, and we all escaped unscathed."
He paused before continuing, "But on the way back, we ran into a kid."
At this point, the other party gasped lightly and clenched his fists
Lu Huaiyuan frowned slightly and asked, "Did he sacrifice himself to save that child?"
The other party heard this and spoke, his voice was a little bitter, but also mixed with a bit of hatred: "No, it's that child, kill him."
Lu Huaiyuan suddenly raised his eyes, but his expression paused.
Mr. Qi took a deep breath before explaining, "Mr. Rong felt sorry for the child and couldn't help but feel compassion for him. But the child took the opportunity to stab him."
"The incident happened so suddenly that by the time we reacted and tried to catch the person, he had disappeared without a trace."
As he spoke, he could no longer conceal his sadness.
Mr. Qi paused for a moment, his tone still a little self-blaming: "Mr. Rong, he didn't even wait for us to take him to the hospital. He was already dead. We, we..."
He lowered his head, but was unable to continue.
Their organization did send people to protect Rong Jingyan.
But in such an era, facing a child like that, it is hard for people like them not to feel compassion.
In fact, when he and other members of his organization chose to embark on this path, they had already prepared for sacrifice.
However, this result...
He sighed, feeling mixed emotions.
After listening to him, Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes, and a hint of deep thought appeared in his eyes.
No matter what era, this vulnerable group can always lower people's guard.
Even though Rong Jingyan is not a perfect and kind person, it is difficult for him to turn a blind eye to a poor child.
But I'm afraid that the person behind the scenes took advantage of this and set up this fatal trap for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan looked up at the person in front of him and asked, "Did you find the child later?"
Mr. Qi shook his head: "No."
He paused for a moment, then explained, "We chased after them, but we couldn't find any trace of them."
"That place had obviously been abandoned for a long time, and there were no residents around. But in the end, we couldn't find anyone."
When Lu Huaiyuan heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He had previously left some divine power on Rong Jingyan.
With this protection, even if ordinary people and weapons can hurt Rong Jingyan, it will never be fatal.
So now that I think about it carefully, Mr. Qi and his team were unable to find the person at that time, perhaps because that person was not an ordinary child at all.
After all, if he was just a simple child in this small world, how could he have such great abilities!
He had checked Rong Jingyan's side, but found nothing unusual.
But Lu Huaiyuan always felt that this matter was probably related to Siming Palace.
Being able to track his whereabouts, break through the world barriers and the barrier he set up, and enter the small world quietly, I think this is not something that an ordinary person can do.
Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan had another struggle in his mind.
Order!
You'd better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you!
otherwise……
Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
-----------------
The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences, and then Lu Huaiyuan got up and left.
Before leaving, he suddenly said, "Mr. Qi, regarding the true relationship between Ah Yan and me, I hope you can keep it a secret."
Mr. Qi was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
Lu Huaiyuan nodded: "Thank you."
In this era, not everyone can accept what they do.
He didn't want this incident to become an excuse for others to criticize him after Rong Jingyan left.
As for why he told the person in front of him.
That was his sincerity, but also a test.
Fortunately, he was quite satisfied with the result of this test.
After Lu Huaiyuan left, Mr. Qi stood at the door and stared at his back for a long time.
In the end, he just sighed deeply, turned around and went home.
Time goes on, and this chaotic world will not end with the departure of one person.
The sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and people will still continue to move forward.
-----------------
During this period, Rong Jingyan's affairs have caused a lot of controversy, and many people are talking about it.
The Lu family was worried, especially about Lu Huaiyuan's situation. They were extremely concerned and anxious.
Lu Shixiao looked at his brother who seemed a little unfamiliar, and felt mixed emotions.
He opened his lips slightly, trying to persuade her.
But when thousands of words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to start.
In fact, he and Lu Xiangyi knew about the matter between Lu Huaiyuan and Rong Jingyan.
But they all chose to remain silent and did not interfere too much.
In fact, it can be regarded as an indirect acknowledgment of the relationship between the two.
After all, in the current turbulent situation, what they most desire is for their whole family to be safe and sound.
In comparison, other things seem less important.
But it’s a pity that things are unpredictable!
Fate always likes to play tricks on people.
Hearing his question, the other party did not answer directly, but said: "Sorry, Mr. Lu."
Lu Shixiao sighed helplessly, but just reached out and gently rubbed Lu Huaiyuan's hair.
Lu Huaiyuan didn't dodge, but instead looked up at the person in front of him and asked softly, "Brother, why did you come here suddenly?"
Lu Shixiao slowly withdrew his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just simply missed you, so I came to see you, is that not okay?"
