Wicked documents
Chapter 126 - 1 Stone Wave
Wei Lin washed his face with cold water three times, but he still couldn't wash away the thrilling scene.
Bai Xinyue's method of not playing cards according to the rules was beyond Wei Lin's expectation, so much so that he couldn't really sort out his purpose after thinking about it for a long time.Judging from the results, yes, the means that can be used as threats have indeed lost their effectiveness.But what benefits can Bai Xinyue get from it?This is nothing more than a lose-lose result.
If it is said that Bai Xinyue was born to die, then both of them are indeed in a state of death.But what should Bai Xinyue do next?
The more Wei Lin thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he got a headache, and his hands were stiff on the washstand for a long time.
When Wei Lin raised his head unconsciously, he saw a gloomy face reflected in the mirror. It was none other than his son, Wei Yunfei.
The face is extremely familiar - no matter how he waits to be seen on weekdays, there is no father in the world who would not recognize his son's face.However, when Wei Lin's gaze collided with Wei Yunfei in the mirror, he was still taken aback.
The hand towels are in the box on the side, but Wei Lin forgot to take one out to wipe off the water stains on his face, and let the water droplets gather in one place, dripping and dripping on the table .
Wei Lin is also well-informed. Speaking of monsters alone, the Wei family raises a lot of them, and he has seen many in the annual auctions and other occasions, but even on monsters, he has never seen them. through such frightening eyes.If I had to find something similar, only the eyes of reptiles had this kind of feeling, inorganic, cold and without a trace of emotion.But such a pair of eyes were embedded in his son's face, he didn't know whether it was panic or distress, anyway, Wei Lin was stunned.
Wei Yunfei didn't seem to have noticed his father's expression as if he had seen a ghost. He skipped the part of the title and cut straight to the point, "I have something for you to do."
Such a strong order, not to mention that the son treats the father, even if it is the other way around, it will look extremely weird.No matter how they sounded, they didn't look like a family with the closest blood relationship, but rather like superiors and subordinates with distinct status and opposites.
Undoubtedly, Wei Lin couldn't accept it.He has always hated the ignorance of this only son, but now when Wei Yunfei appeared in front of him with a promising attitude, Wei Lin couldn't help but miss his past appearance, that red lips and white teeth that everyone saw. A dude who can get acquainted with himself is at least harmless, but the young man in front of him seems to have a ferocious aura in every strand of his hair.
"There is not much time, and I won't beat around the bush. To tell you the truth, it was I who ordered someone to put that document into your exclusive lounge." Every exclusive lounge in the conference has been set up with multiple passwords. He was determined not to get in, but he had to take all precautions, and his family members were not included in the precautions. Wei Yun insisted on getting all the passwords of his father, and it would be effortless at all.
Wei Lin accepted this obvious "antecedent", but he couldn't accept the "consequence" that followed. The man who spent most of his life in the demon committee was completely at a loss for words this time.
But for Wei Yunfei, it is a good thing that the other party does not speak. After so many years, he is really impatient to listen to those so-called lessons. "Now I will give you a thorough account of the matter. The only information I put in that day was the one about Huo Lian. As for the evidence of the attack, someone must have taken the opportunity to sneak in. As for who that person is, you don't have to worry about it." , I'll check it out myself."
Wei Lin frowned.To be able to achieve today's achievements, he is certainly not an idiot.Although the part belonging to the father has not been recalled, the head of the Minister of Economic Affairs has quickly turned away——
He had seen those two documents with his own eyes, and when he recalled every detail, he would find that the two documents were exactly the same, whether it was the language habits, typesetting form, or even the details of the paper used.If he didn't know the inside story today, Wei Lin would still firmly believe that the two documents were written by the same person.
No matter who did that thing, but in order to fish in troubled waters, it can be said that he did everything he could.
In addition, Wei Lin also thought of one point, unless he knows his son very well—and what he knows must be his hidden true face, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a seamless situation.
Who would be able to meet these harsh conditions?Wei Lin thought he should give a good reminder.
It's just that before the father can speak, the son has already shown that he will never appreciate it.Wei Yunfei smiled indifferently, "You don't have to worry about my business, now you only need to think about how to make up for your mistakes."
"Wrong?" Wei Lin admitted that he had indeed miscalculated Bai Xinyue's determination to break the boat, and thus missed the best opportunity, but he didn't think he had made a serious mistake.
Wei Yunfei raised his chin slightly, showing a bit of awe in which he proclaimed other people's sins.Although he had forgotten the difference between seniority and youth, he was still a bit more popular than the cold-blooded reptile before.He said, "Fire refining is the biggest hidden danger in the entire Monster Beast World, but you missed the best time to kill it in one fell swoop at the big meeting for the sake of your immediate interests."
Sensitively noticing the change in his son's expression, Wei Lin suddenly realized that it was none other than himself who had pushed his child to this point.When the child's goal is no longer to surpass the father, but to completely defeat the father, all family affection no longer has any meaning, and there will only be endless battles between them.
But Wei Lin still tried to reason with him, "It's still too late. If Huo Lian really has such an ominous bloodline, the Demon Committee will regard him as an enemy that must be eradicated at any time."
Wei Yunfei snorted coldly, the way he looked at his father was no different from looking at an idiot, even through the reflection in the mirror, he could still clearly feel the contempt in it. "How can it be the same? At the time of the big meeting, Huo Lianren was on the territory of the Demon Committee, and he should have been unable to escape. But now, where is he? Don't forget, the Demon Committee just entered The snow mountain was empty."
For the time being, Wei Lin has no spare energy to feel sorry for his son's attitude. What he thinks of at the moment is Bai Xinyue's initiative to show affection that day. It turns out that under the man's superficially friendly intention of forming an alliance, the real purpose of covering up is to divert the attention of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Once the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Preparatory Affairs fought against each other, under the circumstances at that time, no one really noticed the disappearance of a monster.
Wei Yunfei waved his hand, obviously impatient to continue the conversation, still in the commanding tone, "How to kill Huo Lian, I can only leave it to the Demon Committee to worry about. And you, in order to make up for yourself There is one thing you must do your best to do—no matter what Bai Xinyue does next, you must stop it at all costs, even if you pay the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the entire Wei family, you must not let that man succeed. "
The young man's eyes changed again, becoming even less reptile-like, as if a cluster of flames had been lit in his eyes, and the burning fuel in them was intense hatred.
Bai Xinyue, whom he hated, probably couldn't have imagined that it was just a few words of provocation in the basement that had achieved such good results, tearing off Wei Yunfei's mask that he had worn on his face for so many years. smash.
----
Since it is an adjournment, not a final meeting, there must be a time limit.However, in this short period of less than an hour, there were not only two couples such as Bai Xinyue, Zhuang Jin, and Wei Lin's father and son who had private conversations.The fundamental purpose of Chairman Zhuang's announcement of the adjournment was to give everyone a rest time to calm down their spirits, but judging from the results, it set off an extremely lively dance of demons instead.
Taking advantage of the rest time, Zhuang Jin ordered someone to rearrange the venue.The large screen that was no longer used for any purpose was removed, and a huge long conference table was placed. The tables for everyone were placed on both sides, so that no matter who sat in any position, they could see everything clearly. people's faces.
Zhuang Jin's move undoubtedly hoped that everyone would be less suspicious and discuss with each other peacefully.
However, it is still unknown how many people will accept his painstaking efforts.
According to the status of these two people in the demon committee, it is inappropriate for whoever sits next to the other. There is no better arrangement. Bai Xinyue and Zhuang Jin each occupy one end of the long conference table.
Zhuang Jin gave the other side a worried look, wanting to remind the other party not to forget the previous agreement between the two parties.It's a pity that all Bai Xinyue left him was a hairpin on the top of his head that he didn't see.
Did he not notice his gaze?Considering Bai Xinyue's extremely keen perception, Zhuang Jin categorically denied this guess.Bai Xinyue just didn't bother to pay attention to him, it's that simple.
Everyone sat down one by one, their faces that were almost numb with shock before the adjournment were now covered by anger and killing intent.The face-changing was so fast, one couldn't help but think that all the dignitaries of the Demon Committee had found a fierce mask to wear on their faces.
"Chairman Bai, in consideration of the dangers of the demon beast fire, I solemnly request you as the Minister of Economic Affairs to kill relatives." The first person to attack was Wei Lin, and his attitude was just as serious and resolute as his words. A little wiggle room.It's called a request, but in fact it's not too different from a request.
Wei Lin thought about the conversation he had with his son in the bathroom, and Wei Yunfei's disrespectful order really chilled him.
But the cold heart is the cold heart, even if it is at the end of the road, any father will still try his best to make up the rift with his children.Of course, this is by no means an easy task, at least at this stage, it is just a distant hope, but Wei Lin can try to make his son happy.
If his wish can be fulfilled, Wei Yunfei should be happy, right?Judging from the lines in the conversation, Wei Yunfei had two very clear goals - one, to save his life by fire; the other, to never allow Bai Xinyue to have a good time.
Wei Lin's proposal immediately attracted the approval of everyone in the audience. Everyone nodded in unison, and their movements were neat as if they had been rehearsed countless times in advance.
Strictly speaking, whether Huo Lian really inherited the lineage of the Zhangtian clan has not yet been truly concluded.However, all the nobles of the Demon Committee have raised their butcher knives in unison.
Whether it is true or not may not be important, the existence of Huo Lian brings great hidden dangers, just for this point, that monster deserves death!
Wei Lin's face was gloomy, and the next sentence might sound plain, but it contained the insidiousness of a scheming person, "Since Huo Lian has not yet signed a formal contract with Chairman Bai, killing him may not be considered a serious matter." The real righteousness kills relatives. Vice Minister Han, am I wrong?"
Han Zhiyu's tricks of making people fall into trouble are nothing new in the Demon Committee. His approach is not unwise, but there is still a shortcoming - once others get tired of his tricks, they will kill him at such a tense moment. Pull it out and use it as a gun.
However, no matter it was Han Zhiyu's own fear of Bai Xinyue, or the resentment of being humiliated by him in public not long ago, it made Han Zhiyu a little passionate, willing to be used, and unwilling to let go of this opportunity to speak.He cleared his throat, "According to the records of the archives department, there is indeed no record of this contract."
Thinking of the turmoil caused by the contract last time, wasn't Bai Xinyue extremely strong that day, and even raised a vote of judgment, but so what?Judging from today's situation, Bai Xinyue is just putting herself in a cocoon and creating a big trouble for herself.
If there is a formal contract, according to the law of the Monster Council, the monster beast that has signed the contract is regarded as the private property of its owner, and others are not allowed to interfere with the master's disposal of the monster beast it belongs to.
In that case, Bai Xinyue might still be able to use this law to save Huo Lian's life—but public outrage is hard to come by, and I'm afraid it will be quite difficult to implement, but fortunately there is still a chance to cut in.But Bai Xinyue ruined the last chance of life with her own hands because of her excess strength.
The meeting room was not calm at first, no matter whether there was this stone of Weilin or not, it was already full of undercurrents. After he and Han Zhiyu, who he had instigated, threw out the heavy words, they just smashed the turbulence under the water surface to the surface, and the three-foot giant Lang, once Bai Xinyue slackens a little, she will end up being photographed into a meat paste.
After thinking twice, Zhuang Jin acquiesced to this situation.It's not that he didn't think about his friendship with Bai Xinyue. After all, the trouble was caused by the other party.Zhuang Jin gave him a chance to try to eliminate this trouble invisible.But Bai Xinyue refused to take action, so Zhuang Jin had no choice but to rely on the giant hand of the Demon Committee to completely eliminate hidden dangers.
However, Bai Xinyue laughed at this moment—no matter who looked at him, he was already driven to a desperate situation, and there was an abyss behind him. If he could not move forward, he could not retreat, and it was already a certain death.Everyone present has a very bright mind, but no matter how clever it is, no one can imagine how Bai Xinyue can still smile calmly.
"You guys, who are you going to send to kill Huo Lian? If he is really the 'Emperor of Monster Beasts' and every air current in the world is under his control, what power do you have to kill him?"
Bai Xinyue's method of not playing cards according to the rules was beyond Wei Lin's expectation, so much so that he couldn't really sort out his purpose after thinking about it for a long time.Judging from the results, yes, the means that can be used as threats have indeed lost their effectiveness.But what benefits can Bai Xinyue get from it?This is nothing more than a lose-lose result.
