C223 A woman passing by late at night
Just then, the door opened, and Xia Lei walked in.
"lucas." Anina was immediately excited. She wanted to get up from the bed, but after supporting her body up slightly, she laid back down. Her body was limp and weak.
Xia Lei walked over to the bedside and said, "Lie down and don't move. Just rest for two days."
"What's wrong with me?" Anina was puzzled.
Xia Lei laughed and said: "Have you forgotten the cup of water you drank? In that glass of water was a drug that could fake one's death. It can stop your heart from beating, but you'll come back to life in time for the rescue. "
"Where's Markus and Ralph?" Anina thought about his vicious compatriot.
Xia Lei said: "They have been detained, your people from the consulate are in contact with the police on our side."
"Will they be sentenced?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "No, after making things difficult for them for a bit, they will let them go. Our goal is to save you, not to frame the two German agents for hiding poison. "
"What if they want my body?"
Xia Lei laughed, "Then they will get the ashes. We have prepared the ashes of a woman of your age, and we have taken your hair from you and mixed it with the ashes. Your DNA is in those powders. What can they do about your identity? Of course, there are certain flaws, but as long as we insist that they are your ashes, there's nothing they can do about it. "
Anina then completely relaxed, she looked at Xia Lei quietly, even her eyes were filled with laughter.
Xia Lei said: "We will give you a new identity, you can start your new life here."
"I want to work at your company. I'm the same as you. I'm also a Mechanic." Anina said.
"Not now. You'll have to disappear for a while. You know what I mean, it's been a very sensitive time, and it's not a good thing if someone sees you working at my company. " Xia Lei said.
"Then what can I do? I don't want to stay here forever. "
"This is only a temporary residence, once your body recovers, Long Bing will arrange everything for you."
"Long Bing?" This was the first time Anina had heard Long Bing's name.
Xia Lei laughed: "It's the Laura that you've met."
"Your wife?" Anina blurted out, but then reacted, "I remember now, she's not your wife. You're not married at all. That Miss Liang is your girlfriend, right? "
Xia Lei nodded.
"Do you love her?"
"Love." Xia Lei felt that it was very awkward talking about this kind of topic.
Anina interrupted Xia Lei and said, "Hug me."
Xia Lei was startled for a moment. He had originally wanted to reject her, but when he thought about how she had fallen into such a terrible situation because of him, he felt that it was a little hard to refuse her in his heart. After a moment's hesitation, he reached for her, but found that a person sitting on the bed could not carry a person lying on the bed. He shrugged. "No."
However, Anina said, "You can lie on the bed, won't you be able to hug me?"
Xia Lei, "..."
"Just a hug. I need your comfort. I can't give your fianc?e a green hat with my current condition, can I? " Anina ridiculed. It could be seen that her mood was already much better.
Xia Lei laughed bitterly as he forced himself to climb onto the bed. He laid beside Anina and then stretched out his arm to serve as a pillow. Anina laid in the crook of Xia Lei's arm quietly, and the two of them did not say anything.
Xia Lei had thought that lying on the same bed as Anina with her arms around her would be an extremely awkward feeling, but strangely, he didn't.
Maybe Anina was too weak, she quickly fell asleep.
Half an hour later, Xia Lei quietly got off the bed and left the room. On the way out he glanced back at her. She was sound asleep, with a faint smile on her lips. Who knew what kind of good dream she was having.
Outside, Xia Lei saw Long Bing standing in the courtyard. This place was actually just a small farmhouse. No matter how one looked at it, it was unremarkable.
Long Bing looked at Xia Lei strangely and did not say a word.
However, Xia Lei had his own interpretation. He said somewhat embarrassedly: "This matter is not what you think it is. What she needs the most right now is comfort, I just ?"
Long Bing said lightly: "You just went to bed to sleep with her. Don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you, Liang Siyao won't know about this."
Xia Lei changed the topic, "Who will take care of her in the next few days?"
Long Bing said: "Don't worry, I will arrange for people to take care of her. Don't worry about it in the future. I'll let her stay in our logistics department for a while. "
Xia Lei said in shock, "You aren't thinking of letting her join the 101st round, are you? She's just an ordinary mechanic, she's not made to be an agent at all. "
Long Bing said, "No secret service agent is born, you are an example of that. And, as you said, she's a very good mechanic. Even Germany's most advanced Panther 2 tanks can be dismantled and repaired. The Krupp Mark Machinery Manufacturing Company was actually a German military enterprise. She definitely knew a lot of valuable things. We spent so much effort and risked so much to save her, but she has to give us something, right? "
Xia Lei laughed bitterly, "Alright, you can do whatever you want. Bring me back now, I am in a hurry to change your spear."
Long Bing glanced at the gradually darkening sky, "Should I send you back to the Liang family or your home?"
"The company." Xia Lei rolled his eyes at her, "Tonight, I will work overtime and change your gun."
Long Bing smiled lightly, and did not say much else. She turned around and went to get the carriage.
It had already been over an hour since the car drove out of the mountains and into the city. It was already the beginning of winter and the sky had darkened a little earlier. When the two arrived at the company, the sky had already darkened.
Long Bing looked at the parts of the sniper rifle that Xia Lei had modified and was very satisfied. She did not stay long, looked at her gun, and chatted with Xia Lei for a while before driving away.
Xia Lei was busy at the workshop modifying his spear until midnight when he finally left. With his current progress, he wouldn't even need three days to give Long Bing a modified version of the sniper rifle that had properties far surpassing the AS50.
After getting into the driver's seat of the BMW M6, one of Xia Lei's thoughts was to drive to Liang Siyao's house, but when the car drove out of the factory, he changed his mind. It wasn't impossible for him to drive to the Liang family, but it was already early in the morning, so the timing was inconvenient. Another reason was that during this period of time with Liang Siyao, that aspect of him was a little too excessive. Her waist was often sore. Man is iron, woman is a furnace. There has always been only molten iron, where is there a furnace melted by molten iron?
"Forget it, let's rest for the day. Let's go home and have a good night's sleep." Xia Lei drove back home. He was sure that if he went to Liang Siyao's place now, as long as Liang Siyao dragged him around a little and said a few words of teasing, he would definitely not be able to hold back and do that kind of thing with her again. She did this so often that he could barely stand her.
Returning back to the residential area, Xia Lei parked his car and looked at the balcony of Jiang Ruyi's house. There was no light in Jiang Ruyi's house, and Jiang Ruyi also did not appear on the balcony.
"What am I thinking? It's already early in the morning, so I'm afraid she has already fallen asleep. " Xia Lei retracted his gaze and walked towards the stairs.
He went up to the second floor. Before he could open the door, the sound of footsteps came from inside the house. Then, a light came out from the crack of the door.
Who would be at home?
Xia Lei was startled, he wanted to take a look at the situation in the room, but then the door suddenly opened.
The one who had appeared behind the door was actually Xia Xue.
Xia Lei said in shock, "Xiao Xue, when did you come back? Aren't you going to be back in a few days? "
Xia Lei yawned and lazily said, "The school is already on vacation, I came back early. The plane arrived at the airport at ten o'clock in the evening, and I had just returned home. If you don't come back, I'd like to call you. "
Xia Lei frowned, "In the future, when you fly back from the capital by yourself, you'll have to call me first. I'm really worried for you."
Xia Xue laughed, "Brother, I am already an adult, I know what I am doing. You are already busy normally, so you don't have to worry about me anymore. "Come in, don't stand at the door and talk. It will disturb the neighbors."
Xia Lei entered the room. He wanted to say a few words to her, but the words reached his mouth and he swallowed them back. Even though Xia Xue had passed his youthful period of rebellion, a girl of her age would also be rebellious. He would have his own thoughts and opinions, and wouldn't listen to his brother in everything. She wouldn't listen even if he told her. Why would she want to tell him?
In fact, Xia Lei wasn't particularly worried about Xia Xue's safety, because Long Bing had said that there was someone specially responsible for protecting her. When Xia Xue returned home from school, the people who were protecting her in the dark would definitely take action.
"Bro, are you hungry? I'll go get you instant noodles." Xia Xue said.
"I'm not hungry. I ate a box lunch at the company." Xia Lei walked towards the balcony. He was very curious in his heart. Would the person who was protecting Xia Xue in secret be nearby at this time? If she was here, he really wanted to see who exactly was protecting Xia Xue.
"Then I'll take a bath myself. I'm starving." Xia Xue went to the kitchen. It felt like she only got out of bed because she felt hungry, and then saw Xia Lei drive back by the kitchen window before walking over to her.
Xia Lei walked to the balcony and quickly scanned across every nook and cranny.
Everything in the district was normal. No one moved during the early hours of the morning, but there were a few cats chasing and playing with each other.
Xia Lei's line of sight moved to the area outside the wall, and a woman wearing a black windbreaker suddenly entered his line of sight. His left eye twitched, and the woman's blurry face became clear. When he saw it, he was stunned. He saw Tang Yuyan.
Tang Yuyan was also looking towards the direction of the balcony and she could probably see Xia Lei as well. Because there was light behind Xia Lei, the person he would be standing on would definitely be a very eye-catching person. Only, she was definitely unable to clearly see Xia Lei's face.
"How could it be her?" Xia Lei was very surprised, "It can't be her, right?"
Tang Yuyan seemed to have realized that Xia Lei was looking at her, and she turned around and left as well. But his speed was not fast, as though he was a woman with a story passing by.
