Chapter 38 Dominoes Do you know what kind of person he got?

"Oh, really?"

Alpha smiled and didn't think much about it. He just thought that the other party might have seen him in some military and political news.

"Since you're here, would you like to have your fortune told?"

Ji Mingtang put the three copper coins back into his palm and sat down again.

Colonel Huo, who always respected science, had heard of the ancient art of Liu Yao divination, but he did not believe it.

Rather than the fate of ghosts and gods, he believes more in human intervention.

Ji He sat down, obviously wanting to show his support for Dean Ji, and said, "Then tell me a fortune."

Ji Mingtang looked at his new business, a gentle and calm smile appeared on his lips, and asked, "What do you want to be?"

"Then let's calculate, will it be good luck or bad luck in the future?"

The female Taoist priest nodded and put three copper coins into the tortoise shell used for divining. As her hands moved, the copper coins hit the tortoise shell, making clear and loud sounds.

A few copper coins fell out of the turtle shell and landed steadily on the gray cloth.

Although Ji He grew up with Ji Mingtang, he knew nothing about fortune-telling, let alone understanding the hexagram at the moment.

When Ji Mingtang saw the three copper coins, his face did not look good. He counted with his fingers and was more certain that it was a sign of a serious disaster. He showed a somewhat embarrassed expression to Ji He.

"Isn't that good?"

The female Taoist priest frowned slightly when she looked at the copper money, and bit her lower lip before she said anything.

It's not just not very good, it's very bad.

Ji Mingtang was very accurate in fortune-telling. He said slowly, "This is a very ominous hexagram. The fortune is heading southeast. The only way to solve it is to put yourself in a desperate situation and then survive."

Ji He, who was sitting opposite, was stunned. When he saw Ji Mingtang's expression, he guessed that this hexagram might not be a good sign, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious.

Huo Yubai reached out and patted Ji He's shoulder, saying, "It's okay, just listen."

Ji He lowered his head and said "hmm", as if he had not expected that his luck would be so bad in the future, but he could not think of anything that could allow him to "survive from the brink of death".

The current situation is not too turbulent. He and Huo Yubai are slowly getting closer to each other. Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

"Colonel Huo, do you want to count it?"

Colonel Huo, who originally didn't want to calculate, also sat down to divert Ji He's attention and said, "Then let's calculate it."

Ji Mingtang threw three copper coins into the turtle shell, shook it twice, and asked, "What do you want, Colonel?"

"Can it be considered a marriage?"

The female Taoist priest only uttered a low "hmm". There were many people who wanted to calculate their marriage fate, and it was not difficult. She slowly raised the turtle shell.

The last copper coin rolled out of the turtle shell after the previous one. After Ji Mingtang saw the hexagram clearly, he closed his eyes, pinched his fingers, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little confused.

"Colonel, forgive me for being frank. You have never had a love relationship in your life. It was not until this year that you finally found your love. And it was a very rare event that happened by chance."

Now it was Huo Yubai's turn to raise an eyebrow. He knew he shouldn't take it personally, but when he heard Ji Mingtang's words "a combination of coincidences and confusions, the whole world turned upside down", he couldn't help but think of the several susceptible periods he and Ji He had gone through.

As for the Red Luan Star Movement, it seems to correspond.

Huo Yubai was surprised that he could calculate so accurately with just a few small copper coins.

"And then?"

“Then it gets even weirder.”

After Ji Mingtang finished speaking, he groaned twice and said in a gentle voice: "Your divination is quite similar to Ji He's, but it's not as fierce."

"But this difficulty and obstacle is more dangerous than good. Only when you see the end of the mountain and the end of the water, you will find a bright village with willows and flowers."

Hearing this, Huo Yubai looked at Ji He and said with a smile, "It sounds like it matches your divination."

The two of them sat for a while, and the positioning bracelet sent several messages through the optical computer urging them to return to the main base.

"Ji He, we should go back."

The orange-red sunset glowed down from the sky to the ground, and fallen leaves from nowhere were blown by the wind onto Ji He's shoes.

Along the way, Ji He felt a little depressed, not sure if it was because of the short date or the fortune telling by Ji Mingtang.

"You don't really believe this."

Colonel Huo sat in the driver's seat, leaned over to pull the other person's safety buckle, adjusted it to the appropriate tightness, and then slowly buckled it.

Ji He raised his eyes and asked, "Colonel, don't you believe it?"

Beta suddenly recalled the first time they met. In the lights and the sound of the wind, the young man he saw when he was held in his arms looked like a messenger from God.

So he believed it.

There is always God's will in everything.

Huo Yubai, who was standing by, shook his head and said, "I only believe in the parts that are beneficial to me."

A few days later, Min Ran came to the federal military base again. This time he represented the Michael Fund to inject capital into the military.

Naturally, the courtesy Omega received was even greater than last time.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and the Union soldiers were no exception.

"Mr. Min, Colonel Huo will be here soon."

Min Ran hummed softly, raised his eyes lazily, his expression still indifferent, and continued to fiddle with a few carved dominoes made of gold foil.

Carved dominoes are a toy left over from the Imperial Age. In addition to being played like ordinary poker based on suits and points, they can also be stacked to form exquisite bridges and palaces.

As Omega placed the last gold foil domino, a winding golden bridge appeared on the coffee table.

Min Ran's mixed-race face really complements this luxurious and exquisite golden color.

When Huo Yubai came in, Min Ran's secretary retreated, leaving only a narrow gap in the door.

"Colonel Huo, we meet again."

Omega's tone seemed no different from the past, only his slightly furrowed brows revealed that his patience was drained away by waiting.

"Um."

Colonel Alpha looked reluctant and sat opposite Omega obediently, talking about the investment project.

"Colonel Huo, do you really think that General Huo specifically asked you to come here to discuss investment with me?"

Min Ran's tone was light and he didn't know what Huo Yingzhan was up to. He leaned in and asked, "The colonel didn't convince the admiral, did he?"

Alpha's thin lips were pressed into a straight line. He did not refute, as he felt that his thoughts had been touched upon.

“They say that man is born free, but I feel that he is born in chains.”

"My promise to the colonel still stands. I will not interfere with you and your lover. Why don't you reconsider it?"

The light of the gold foil reflected in the man's pupils. Colonel Alpha frowned slightly, with a hint of anger rising in his eyes.

When Min Ran saw the other person's look, he actually showed a bit of gloating smile.

"This is my own business."

Huo Yubai completed the task of following up the project and left.

Min Ran looked at the other person's leaving back, and recalled the day when he first met Colonel Huo. The other person did not like the Michael Fund, which was fighting for money.

This Alpha was stubborn, naive, yet powerful. He was so contradictory that he didn't seem to exist in real life. He did arouse some interest in Min Ran.

Huo Yubai is different from those target customers who are looking forward to the thriving growth of Michael's money-making tree, and the highest interest rate of 15% cannot shake his heart.

A host from a financial channel once interviewed Min Ran and believed that he was a business genius that only appears once in a century.

"May I ask why Mr. Min's investment vision is so unique? I heard that even the former chairman of Capital Star is buying Michael Fund."

The Omega wore a white shirt and a burgundy patterned tie. He twirled the ruby ​​ring on his finger and said softly, "This is a business secret."

In fact, there is no secret at all, he just pretended too successfully.

"Then Mr. Min, can you talk to us again? What industry do you think is more suitable for investment at present?"

Min Ran tilted his head slightly and casually mentioned a few unpopular industries.

As long as the Michael Foundation establishes an image of success, everything Omega says becomes golden words, and no one will doubt how the huge interest is paid.

It’s a pity that no matter how ingenious the Pang family’s scam is, it will collapse one day. It just depends on when Min Ran will break Michael’s wings.

The bridge in front of him, built with golden dominoes, looks solid and gorgeous, but as long as the Omega reaches out and gently overturns the first piece of gold foil, every subsequent domino will fall down.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the expressions on those idiots’ faces when they realize they’ve been tricked.”

Omega placed his fingertips on the first domino, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

In just a few seconds, the gold-leaf carved dominoes fell down one after another, turning into a chaotic pile of ruins.

“Beep beep—”

Min Ran looked up, sighed, and skillfully changed back into her obedient and gentle appearance, then dialed Admiral Huo's video call.

"General Huo, I want to talk to you..."

The seemingly eternal starlight beats on the edge of the Milky Way, engraving the forgotten vastness in the hearts of every Alpha soldier guarding the border.

This is the base of the Glorious Legion, the only unit in the Federal Army that is not named with a number.

Although Huo Yingzhan was thousands of miles away, he was still concerned about Huo Yubai's marriage and threw the survey results displayed on the computer into the encryption system.

"Admiral, you're looking for me?"

After saluting, Lieutenant Gu thought about what he had done in the past half month and felt that he had not made any big mistakes.

"Chao Wen, do you know who Yu Bai is dating?"

Gu Chaowen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then said bluntly: "Isn't it a good thing that he has a partner?"

Admiral Huo was silent for a while, then said, "If you knew what kind of person he had, you wouldn't say that."

After saying this, Huo Yingzhan's face darkened, and pheromones of pressure mixed with anger gushed out.

Admiral Huo has a very high prestige in the Federal Military, so it is not difficult for him to investigate something. The authority of a general is much higher than that of a colonel, not to mention the connections that Alpha has made after years of immersion in the military.

Even though Colonel Huo has erased many things that shouldn't exist, it will only delay the results.

Investigate what Huo Yubai did in this year, what anomalies he had, and how many of these anomalies were related to that ordinary and incompetent Beta Sergeant.

Everything will come out.

Ji He.

A person whom Huo Yingzhan had never looked at in the eye actually took advantage of Huo Yubai's susceptible period due to Alph's allergic reaction disorder to deceive him and even made him refuse the social contacts he had arranged.

"It's absolutely ridiculous."

Gu Chaowen, who was standing by, had no idea what had happened, but he felt that his childhood friend was in big trouble.

Who does he like? How could he make Mr. Huo so angry even though they are so far apart?
