Chapter 110 Chapter 110
Of course Xia Meng likes cats.
She actually likes all furry things.
She had never spoken of this to anyone, not even to herself, and had never fully admitted it.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhou saw it at a glance.
Without giving her any chance to refuse, Li Zhou directly stuffed the cat into her arms.
I deliberately said, "Hold it for a while, it's too clingy, I'm getting annoyed."
Xia Meng: “…”
Maomao: “…”
I don't know who is clingy.
Then, Xia Meng felt that the kitten seemed to sigh helplessly, turned its head and turned around, rubbed its face on her thumb, meowed several times in a low voice, and raised its tail high.
The kitten nestled in her palm, a warm little ball.
She couldn't help but smile.
Li Zhou looked at her quietly.
The sunlight from outside the window fell on her profile and the cat's golden fur, sparkling.
Is this what a peaceful life is all about?
Just now, when he saw her holding the child in her arms, he couldn't help but imagine their bright future.
In the future, he will finally overcome all difficulties and touch her heart. She will be willing to be with him, and then they will have children. At that time, she will also hold the baby that belongs to them both like this.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that life is full of hope.
The only stumbling block now is...
His eyes fell on her face.
He had to first figure out what was tying her hands and feet and trapping her heart.
…
Li Zhou's injury healed quickly.
I was discharged from the hospital the next day, full of energy and vitality.
Everything seems to be back on track.
Except Xia Meng.
She took the initiative to find Wang Xiangyi and report her intention to quit the Seventh Team and the Black Tower.
"Have you really thought it through?" In Wang Xiangyi's office, he glanced down at Xia Meng's application, then raised his gaze to look at her and asked gently, "Can I ask why?"
The reason for her withdrawal was actually stated on the application form.
But he asked anyway.
Xia Meng pursed her lips.
Why else could it be?
It's just that... she really feels that this is not a solution.
Hermann must be nearby, lurking.
She didn't know what he would do.
She could fool Maxie, but she couldn't fool Hermann's eyes.
Sooner or later he would find out... at least, he would definitely find out what Li Zhou felt for her.
In the past, other sentinels had shown affection towards her.
Billy is one, but there are others that are more obvious.
The end... is just like Billy.
Those who had not posed any threat to him all met the same fate.
What about Li Zhou?
Who is this person who can truly be said to be his equal?
Xia Meng didn't dare to think about what kind of revenge Li Zhou would suffer.
Hermann is a madman.
Once he goes crazy, he won't consider any consequences at all.
Lorenzo probably thought that his twenty years of mental control had made Herman willingly kneel down and serve him and the Dreiser family as an obedient dog.
But they don’t know that a mad dog may even bite its owner to death.
So, she had to get out of it first.
At least, Herman cannot set his target on Li Zhou from the beginning.
Instead of letting Herman target Li Zhou, it is better to let the father and son fight each other.
Xia Meng came back to her senses and looked at Wang Xiangyi: "The end of the semester is approaching at school, and it's a bit tiring to take care of both, so..."
Wang Xiangyi put down the application form and looked at her seriously.
He could see that this was not the case.
Given how easily she carried out the Black Tower mission, he couldn't believe that she couldn't handle both.
Xia Meng is a very smart child.
No, it should be said that it is a bit too smart.
During these days in the Black Tower, she completed every task he assigned to her perfectly.
Sometimes, he only said one sentence, and she had already thought of and completed the second, third, and fourth sentences.
Moreover, she did it almost all on purpose, not deliberately trying to show off.
Many times, she even deliberately pushed others forward, such as Mai Xi, giving all the credit to Mai Xi and leaning back herself.
At first, Wang Xiangyi just thought that this child had an extremely low-key personality.
It is rare to find someone with such a down-to-earth personality and strong working ability.
He even planned to train her to be his successor in the future.
After Xia Meng said this, Wang Xiangyi remembered that she seemed to have come from the UK as an exchange student.
London is the location of the Black Tower headquarters.
etc.
An S-level one, and a guide at that, but the headquarters didn't want him, yet they sent him to China?
What are those people at headquarters thinking?
Did those people think too little... or too much?
Wang Xiangyi: “!”
In a flash, many thoughts flashed through Wang Xiangyi's mind.
The more I thought about it, the more my heart sank.
He suddenly raised his eyes to look into Xia Meng's and asked slowly, "Are you sure there's nothing I can help with?"
Xia Meng hesitated for a moment.
She looked at Wang Xiangyi.
There are many people around Li Zhou who love and care for him. Luo Xunfei is one, Zhou Qi is one, and the person in front of him can also be considered one.
She could see pure sincerity in the eyes of these three people.
In their eyes, Li Zhou was just Li Zhou, a younger generation who needed their care.
Thinking of this, Xia Meng's defenses couldn't help but relax for a moment.
She lowered her eyes. "...I heard that the original internship project planned to keep one of the two guides. It would be best if I could make the people above me think that I was the one who didn't stay."
Hearing this, Wang Xiangyi slowly pressed down the five fingers that were hanging on the table.
Press on Xia Meng's application form.
He stared in thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
These four words sound particularly heavy.
Xia Meng whispered a thank you.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Wang Xiangyi ask from behind: "What do you think of Li Zhou?"
Xia Meng stopped and turned around.
There was a calm light in Wang Xiangyi's eyes, which showed scrutiny and worry.
He may not know Xia Meng well enough, but he knows Li Zhou.
The child seemed to have already decided on Xia Meng.
If she chose to withdraw at this time, no one knew what Li Zhou would do.
Xia Meng looked at Wang Xiangyi deeply and did not answer.
What ideas can you have?
You can't have any thoughts, and you shouldn't have any thoughts.
She was about to shake her head to deny it when a cell phone ringing interrupted them.
Wang Xiangyi glanced at his phone and saw that it was someone from his superiors.
He picked up the phone: "What's up?"
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Wang Xiangyi suddenly looked at Xia Meng and raised his eyebrows.
Xia Meng paused, and before she could even discern his expression, she heard Wang Xiangyi ask in astonishment, "Headquarters? Why are people from headquarters suddenly here?"
Someone from headquarters came.
This is no small matter.
It's like the United Nations suddenly sending someone over. It's impossible to do it without a purpose.
Afterwards, no one knew what was said on the other end of the phone, but Wang Xiangyi suddenly looked straight at Xia Meng.
A few seconds later, he put down the phone and said meaningfully, "Xia Meng, come downstairs with me later."
Xia Meng asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Xiangyi paused and shook his head slowly: "Go down first, I don't know now."
…
Xia Meng followed Wang Xiangyi downstairs.
Quite a few people have gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the Black Tower.
They were probably called over to welcome the big boss from the headquarters.
Xia Meng looked out the door.
There were also quite a few people standing outside the door. They looked much more important and seemed to be managers of various departments of the Black Tower.
According to Wang Xiangyi's identity, he should also stand outside the door.
Xia Meng originally planned to blend into the crowd in the hall without being noticed, but before she could leave, someone suddenly grabbed her arm.
She tilted her head unexpectedly and found that it was Mai Xi who held her hand.
Mai Xi smiled and said, "Don't hide. The person who called out the name wants you to go out and wait for him. He will be here soon."
That one?
Xia Meng frowned silently.
Who is that?
Hermann? Or Lorenzo?
Her eyes scanned the scene.
Given the status and position of these two people, it seems not excessive to make such a big fuss.
No matter who among them comes, it will not be a good thing.
Maihi pulls her out of the door.
There is a straight road in front of the gate.
Because Heita is located in a remote area, the staff of Heita basically take the subway to and from get off work, and there are basically no cars on the road.
Soon, a row of pitch-black bulletproof vehicles appeared at the end of the road.
The vehicle quickly stopped at the entrance of the Black Tower.
At a distance of about ten meters, before the people in the car got out, the supervisors of the Black Tower had already come forward to greet them.
Xia Meng stood there without moving.
Such a big show, more like Lorenzo's.
Could it be that since she hadn't been able to take down Li Zhou for so long, he was planning to come in person and put pressure on her?
The rear door of the second car opened, and Lorenzo, dressed in a suit and tie, got out.
Xia Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope it wasn't Hermann who came.
No matter how bad Lorenzo is... at least he can maintain a superficial decency and sanctimoniousness.
That madman Hermann is not necessarily the case.
The last time they met, she could actually vaguely sense the suppressed paranoia in his eyes.
As a result, before she could completely relax, she saw another tall figure getting out of the car behind Lorenzo.
Wearing a black uniform from headquarters.
There are several golden lines on the epaulettes of the uniform.
Most people on the scene are familiar with the style of the epaulettes at the headquarters. The headquarters only recruits sentries and guides of grade B and above. The epaulettes of grade B sentries have one gold pattern, while those of grade A have two gold patterns.
Many people have never even seen the shoulder straps with three golden stripes.
The one following behind Lorenzo had three golden stripes on his epaulettes.
As soon as he appeared, there was a sound of gasps at the scene.
Part of it comes from the person's status, and part of it probably comes from the person's unparalleled beauty.
With blond hair, blue eyes, deep facial features and a tall figure, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a supermodel who walked out of top fashion blockbusters.
As soon as this person appeared, he instantly diverted the attention that was originally on Lorenzo.
The person in charge of the Beijing Tower, who was originally communicating with Lorenzo, was also attracted by his attention and subconsciously asked, "Who is this..."
Lorenzo smiled calmly and replied, "It's my youngest son, Hermann."
Hermann's attention was not on them.
He nodded slightly at them, and then quickly turned his gaze to Xia Meng not far away.
He looked over from a distance of about twenty meters.
Xia Meng suddenly had a bad feeling.
I was just about to take a step back to avoid his sight.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see inside the hall. Li Zhou had just come downstairs, followed by Su Fangxiao and others. They were walking towards them while chatting.
It’s not good, it’s really not good.
But Hermann didn't give her any chance to dodge and walked towards her quickly in front of everyone.
Walk up to her.
The next second, he held her face with one hand.
In an instant, Xia Meng felt a powerful pressure enveloping her and she was unable to move.
She opened her eyes wide.
She watched helplessly as he leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
“Wow!!”
“What’s going on!!!”
“Oh my god!!”
There were screams all around.
He turned his head slowly, as if no one was around, smiled at her and said, "My dear, long time no see."
Xia Meng stared at him in disbelief.
What is he doing?
Claim sovereignty! ?
Warning Li Zhou! ?
How dare he!? ? ?
Xia Meng subconsciously wanted to raise her hand and slap him.
However, his body was suppressed by an invisible force and he couldn't even lift his hands.
However, the next second, someone quickly approached from behind.
The man suddenly grabbed Herman's shoulder with one hand, pulled him away from Xia Meng in an instant, and then quickly stood in front of Xia Meng.
It’s Li Zhou.
Li Zhou turned his back to her and shouted at Herman, "Are you being a hooligan?"
