837 A lot has not changed(1/2)
Walking among the broken walls, things are neither humans nor humans. The once familiar alleyway is buried underground by broken bricks and gravel, and it is difficult to find traces.
When you walk and stop, you have to dig open some bricks and stones from time to time to see the road before you go, and walk slowly forward in the vaguely difficult alleys.
Among the pile of rubble, a little gray blue caught her attention. Zhang Li leaned over and picked it up, wiped it with her hands, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
It was a door sign with the words ‘No. 222 Minsheng West Road’.
Zhang Li took out the napkin and wiped it carefully, but it was not completely wiped out.
I stood up and looked at the pile of rubble. Everything that happened before was still vivid in my mind. This was her first place to settle in the East China Sea, where she once had her friends.
When they came, the four of them agreed to support each other and rush to the East China Sea together, and now they go their separate ways and do not interact with each other.
Four years have passed, and she has now been promoted from a small employee to a manager, and she no longer has to live in an old community with sewage. But whenever she thinks of it, that time is the happiest day.
He is now the chairman of a large group company, and his girlfriend is a well-known female star. He must have forgotten the name "Zhang Li".
He turned around and looked around and smiled bitterly. How could he come to such a place now? With his connections and power in the East China Sea, it is easy to find himself. Four years have passed, and he must have forgotten it.
Zhang Li shook her head and murmured, "What are you thinking about? She is a rich and powerful boss now, how can she still remember me?"
He slowly put the door sign in his bag and patted it gently, "Shanren, I knew you would be successful for a long time."
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, an old man who looked in her sixties and a kind-looking face and a strong middle-aged man walked up to her.
The old man asked with a smile: "Miss once lived here."
Seeing the old man being kind, Zhang Li nodded with a smile, "I lived here four years ago, but now it's all changed."
The old man said, "Yes, I can't see at all."
"The old man used to live here too."
The old man shook his head and said in a frustration: "No, but I recently found out that a friend I haven't seen for many years lives here. I thought I'd come here to try my luck to see if I could find it. Oh, but unfortunately I can't find it."
Zhang Li saw that the old man was dressed well and had an extraordinary temperament. Even if he was not a rich man, he would not be from an ordinary family.
"It is admirable that a noble man like the old man can still remember his friends who live on Minsheng West Road."
The old man pointed to Zhang Li's handbag and smiled and said, "It's all removed here. When did you have a gray house number? You are more nostalgic than the old man, I."
Zhang Li smiled bitterly. When she met by chance, she had a good impression of the old man. However, the Donghai place is very different. She can meet many people every day, but most of them are just passing by. The old man in front of her is no exception.
"Old sir, I'm leaving. Not to mention that I've demolished it, even if it's not demolished, it's hard for you to find your friends. There are many places like this, and most of them are migrant populations. Your friend might not have been here many years ago."
As he said that, he passed by.
The old man turned around and looked at Zhang Li's back and suddenly asked, "Miss, have you ever heard of a man named Zuoqiu."
Zhang Li stopped. If other names might be duplicates, the name Zuoqiu may not be so easy to repeat.
The old man and the middle-aged man all showed a hint of joy in their eyes. They just asked casually and didn't expect anything.
Zhang Li turned around and looked at the old man again.
"Are you talking about a middle-aged man who is sloppy and ungrateful and listless all day long?"
The old man frowned, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it over.
Zhang Li took the photo and found a middle-aged man in a suit and lace, a squat head, and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and elegant.
Zhang Li frowned slightly. She hadn't seen Zuo Qiu in four years. His appearance was a bit blurry. Although the person in the photo did look a bit similar to Zuo Qiu, in her impression, Zuo Qiu's image was completely incompatible with the photo.
The old man was a little nervous and excited. When he found out that Zuo Qiu might appear by Minsheng West two days ago, he didn't believe it. Zuo Qiu graduated from Tianjing University and once served as secretary of the Donghai Municipal Party Committee. How could such a person fall into this place? Today, he just came to see with the idea of bold guessing and careful verification. He was both excited and messy.
He had some hope that the girl in front of him would know him, so he found a huge news, but at the same time he also hoped that she would not know him. Otherwise, the chief think tank of the future heir of the Nalan family would be Lu Shanmin's, and the Nalan family would have to readjust again next, which is something the old man would not want to see.
Zhang Li stared at the photo for a long time, then looked up at the complicated expression on the old man's face in a daze. Her personality was calm and thoughtful, and she was a little confused for a moment.
"This man looks over thirties, and the old man should be over 60 years old. How could he be your friend?"
The old man took a deep breath and could probably confirm that the woman in front of him knew Zuo Qiu.
"The son of an old friend." He said that, turning around and preparing to leave.
Zhang Li became more and more confused, "Since she is the son of an old friend, why don't you ask about his past situation?"
The old man turned around and smiled at her, "I already know his situation, so I don't need to ask."
Zhang Li frowned, "You are not his friend"?
The old man smiled helplessly and said, "I could have become friends, but now I'm afraid it won't work."
After taking a step, the old man seemed to have thought of something, then turned around and asked, "Do you know Lu Shanmin?"
Zhang Li frowned even deeper. Although she didn't know what happened to Lu Shanmin later, it was no accident that Lu Shanmin could grow up in just a few years.
"You are the enemy of the mountain people"?
The old man said, "Thank you, you helped me a lot today. You can never imagine how much impact the help you helped today will have."
Zhang Li regretted it very much. Although she didn't know what this meant, she realized that she had made a big mistake.
Before the old man and the middle-aged man could go out two steps, Zhang Li ran to the two of them to block the way.
"Please make it clear"!
The middle-aged man's face changed and he clenched his fists. The old man reached out to block the man and said lightly: "You are a very good girl, smart and calm, and kind-hearted. Since you don't know anything, it's better not to know. Some things the more you know, the more dangerous it is."
As he said that, he pointed to the sky, "For an ordinary girl like you, it's all a fight between gods and immortals in the sky."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man frowned slightly, raised his head and closed his eyes slightly, and focused on meditation for a moment.
He murmured: "Waiting for the rabbit."
Zhang Li didn't understand what the old man said meant. She just wanted to figure out how much impact this incident had on Lu Shanmin.
"The gods were once mortals. If you don't explain clearly, I will not let you go."
The old man opened his eyes and smiled faintly, "Your relationship is good, so you are so loyal to Lu Shanmin."
As he said that, he said to a pile of rubble not far away, "What do you think, she values you so much, you should care about her too?"
Zhang Li turned her head in confusion and looked at the familiar figure came stepping on the broken walls.
The face didn't change much, but became more confident and determined. His smile was no longer so silly, but a kind of free and easy life and naturalness.
Around ten meters apart, Lu Shanmin glanced at Zhang Li indifferently, and then looked at the old man.
"I have known each other for many years."
The old man looked at Zhang Li, who went from joy to shock, then to loss and pain. He said to Zhang Li comfortably: "Don't be sad, he is lying to you, to be precise, he is lying to me. He was afraid that I would cause harm to you, so he said this on purpose."
Zhang Li looked at Lu Shanmin with red eyes, with inquiry in her eyes.
Lu Shanmin smiled indifferently, "Dare you ask the old man's name Gao"?
The old man smiled, "It's easy to say, Nalan's Pang Shengyi."
The middle-aged man gradually relaxed his momentum and felt vigilantly around him.
Pang Shengyi said lightly: "Don't be nervous, he's the only one."
The middle-aged man stared at Lu Shanmin tightly, "One person"?
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Yes, I'm the only one, you can rest assured."
Pang Shengyi glanced at Zhang Li who was close to her and said to the middle-aged man, "Let's go."
The middle-aged man said coldly: "Mr. Pang, he has finally been alone, and there are not many opportunities like this." As he said that, he looked at Zhang Li, "He can't escape with this woman as a threat."
Lu Shanmin laughed, "Just, the life and death of so many people in Chenlong Group is in their hands. I will surrender and let you kill for a woman I just met."
Pang Shengyi was a little hesitant. Judging from the information he had, Lu Shanmin is a very loyal person, but it is really impossible to be sure whether a person with a status like him would really give up his own life for a woman.
Zhang Li had calmed down at this time and gradually understood the current situation. She didn't care whether Lu Shanmin had forgotten his previous friendship with no affection and righteousness. She said to Lu Shanmin: "Shanmin, please leave quickly. After you leave, they will naturally not do anything to me."
Lu Shanmin glanced at Zhang Li and said lightly: "Why do I want to leave? They want to kill me, but why do I want them to leave the East China Sea alive?"
The middle-aged man smiled coldly, "I'm so arrogant. A middle-level level in the late stage of the Yijing Realm, facing a peak in the late stage of the Yijing Realm and a middle-level level in the late stage of the Moving Mountain Realm, it's hard to say whether he can escape."
Lu Shanmin stood on a pile of rubble, condescending, and exuded a strong aura on his body, "How about you try it."
The middle-aged man raised his foot and kicked it, and a brick broke through the air like lightning, heading straight for Lu Shanmin.
At the same time, he rose from the ground, and pulled his arms behind him in the air, hitting Lu Shanmin like a cannonball.
Zhang Li was stunned. He had never heard of a person who could jump out for more than ten meters, let alone see him running out for more than ten meters with great power.
She was shocked and a heart was raised to her throat. She knew that Lu Shanmin could beat her, but that was also beaten by some small security guards and gangsters on Minsheng West Road. The momentum shown by the person in front of her could no longer be described as an ordinary human. She even expected that Lu Shanmin would be beaten into a meat pie in the next moment. Her nervousness and worries completely lost her ability to think, and she didn't even think that since Lu Shanmin dared to face the two, she was no longer the Lu Shanmin who used to be.
Instinctively shouted, "Mothers, please avoid it!"
Lu Shanmin did not dodge, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his internal energy was injected into his arms in an instant, and he punched him in the air.
A thunder sounded, and bricks around him flew around him, Lu Shanmin's legs were deeply trapped in the rubble, and the middle-aged man flew backwards into the air.
The middle-aged man was already in the air with blood surging, and his head was filled with shock and confusion. If he knew that Lu Shanmin's full force injecting internal energy into muscle cells could fight against the peak of the late stage of the mountain-moving realm like Xue Meng, he would not have been so shocked.
Before he could land, Lu Shanmin had already risen from the broken walls and headed towards the direction of the middle-aged man falling in a parabola.
Pang Shengyi secretly cried out, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, pressing towards Lu Shanmin one after another. At the same time, he flicked his feet and rushed to the place where the middle-aged man landed.
Lu Shanmin was moving forward against the wind. In the past half-month, under the tempering of Daoyi, an old monster in the half-step Qi-transforming realm, Pang Shengyi, the aura that had just entered the peak of the late stage of the Yijing Realm, did not hinder him at all.
