The codename "Steel" was the codename that Shi Lei had temporarily used when Steel Airship had participated in the rescue operation in Nanyue State. The codename "Xiu Mu" was the target that needed to be rescued.
After the rescue operation, Shi Lei had investigated the matter of "Xiu Mu." However, Shi Lei knew too little and could not find any useful information at all.
However, Shi Lei firmly believed that the identity of the guy with the codename "Xiu Mu" was definitely not simple. Otherwise, why would the Rongcheng Military District travel thousands of miles to rescue him?
Even though Shi Lei had deliberately caused a very bad impact in Nanyue State, the Rongcheng Military District did not say anything.
Shi Lei was deep in thought. Shi Lei was not surprised that Xiu Mu knew his phone number. After all, it was very easy for a guy who could get Rongcheng Military District to rescue him from Rongcheng Military District.
However, what was Xiu Mu's intention for calling him?
On the other end of the phone, when he heard that Shi Lei did not answer, he continued, "Hello, Brother Shi Lei. I am Xiu Mu, Li Yuan. Thank you for saving my life!"
"Li Yuan?" Shi Lei quickly recalled the names of the important leaders in Rongcheng Military District in his mind and secretly identified three suspicious people.
"Hello, Li Yuan. I am Shi Lei from Steel Airship. I think you should thank the Rongcheng Military District Headquarters for saving your life. After all, it was just a mission for me. "Shi Lei deliberately pushed the blame to the Rongcheng Military District.
After all, it had caused a very bad impact in Nanyue State. It was best for the Rongcheng Military District to take responsibility for such matters. Otherwise, if the Nanyue State found out, Shi Lei would be in endless trouble!
"Brother Shi Lei, although it was just a mission for you, you did save my life. As the saying goes, a life-saving grace must be repaid generously. We're all normal men, so let's not talk about repaying with our bodies. " Li Yuan joked and then continued, "It's just a small joke. I hope Brother Shi Lei doesn't mind. By the way, I heard that Brother Shi Lei is interested in the underground base in Lin 'an? "
Shi Lei was slightly surprised. According to the information provided by Lu Qiang, the Lin 'an underground base was a secret underground base. Since Li Yuan knew about the underground base and mentioned it, it wasn't as simple as just talking about it.
"Yes, that's right. I do have some ideas about the underground base in Lin 'an. However, I'm afraid that the higher-ups of Rongcheng Military District won't agree! "Shi Lei sighed in a probing tone.
Li Yuan laughed heartily. "Brother Shi Lei, since you're my savior, I won't hide anything from you. I'm in charge of the underground base in Lin 'an. If Brother Shi Lei is really interested in the underground base in Lin 'an, we can talk about it. "
Shi Lei was even more surprised. When the Iron Man captured the image of Li Yuan, it wasn't difficult for Shi Lei to see that Li Yuan was probably only about 75 years old.
But he was actually in charge of an underground base?
Originally, Shi Lei had three guesses about Li Yuan's identity, but now there was only one left, and that was …
After calming down a little, Shi Lei said calmly, "Oh? If it's possible, let's talk about it! "
Li Yuan didn't seem to be surprised by Shi Lei's calm tone. He just smiled and said, "Well, Brother Shi Lei, I'll take some time to come to Shuangqing City in the next two days to thank you for saving my life."
"Well, Li Yuan, when you arrive in Shuangqing City, I'll take you to eat the most authentic Shuangqing hot pot!" Shi Lei vaguely guessed Li Yuan's identity and wanted to make friends with him.
After the two sides hung up the phone, Shi Lei drove to the deepest part of the back street, Palando Italian Restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, a red mini Cooper was parked. The license plate number was AMS264. If it wasn't the one Shi Lei gave to Mu Shuang, what else could it be?
Shi Lei's scalp was a little numb. He parked the white Audi A9L next to the mini Cooper, took a deep breath, and walked into Palando.
The person who greeted Shi Lei was the actual owner of Palando Restaurant, the middle-aged Italian Cesare.
Cesare smiled and said to Shi Lei in Italian, "My friend, welcome to Palando. Your two girlfriends are already waiting for you. To be honest, my friend, it's not the behavior of a gentleman to make a lady wait. "
Shi Lei rolled his eyes and retorted in Italian, "Cesare, are you an Italian or a Gran?"
Walking into Palando, Mu Shuang and Lingyumo were sitting together and whispering something. They were laughing and talking, which made Shi Lei breathe a sigh of relief.
After a few quick steps, he came to the opposite side of Lingyumo and Mu Shuang. Shi Lei coughed lightly. "Sorry, sorry. I received a call on the way, so I drove a little slowly."
Lingyumo rolled her eyes at Shi Lei. "Hmph! Stone Monster, you're so stupid! Sister Mu Shuang's driving skills are very good! "
Shi Lei's smile froze. He glanced at Mu Shuang and quickly organized the words in his mind to explain.
"Little Ink, do you know how to drive?" Shi Lei asked tentatively.
Lingyumo shook her head. "No! After I graduated from high school, I spent the whole summer helping my mother. How could I have time to learn how to drive? "
"Then let's find some time and I'll take you to learn how to drive! When you learn how to drive, I'll buy you a car too! "Shi Lei looked at Lingyumo and said sincerely.
However, after he finished speaking, Mu Shuang looked at Shi Lei strangely. Lingyumo first looked at Mu Shuang and then at Shi Lei. She couldn't hide the surprise and displeasure on her face.
Shi Lei sharply noticed Lingyumo's displeasure. He looked at Mu Shuang with a questioning gaze.
Mu Shuang shook her head slightly and whispered, "Sister Yumo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you."
Lingyumo lowered her head. Her innocent and cute little face was tense.
Shi Lei almost vomited blood when he heard Mu Shuang's words. So Mu Shuang didn't tell Lingyumo that he was the one who gave her the car?
So he was the one who made a fool of himself by admitting it?
"Little Ink, cough, cough. Let me explain. Mu Shuang has to go back and forth between Painting Deity Company and school every day. It's more convenient to have a car. I need a car myself, so I can't let her hog it for a long time. That's why I gave Mu Shuang a car. " Shi Lei was afraid that he wasn't clear enough, so he added, "Little Ink, if you don't believe me, ask Mu Shuang!"
Lingyumo raised her head slightly and looked at Mu Shuang with a complicated expression. "Sister Mu Shuang, is what Stone Monster said true?"
Mu Shuang's thoughts were also very complicated. She had Shi Lei's shadow in her heart too.
"Yes, Sister Yumo, it's indeed like what Shi Lei said. I didn't tell you the truth because I was afraid that you would misunderstand the relationship between Shi Lei and me. "Mu Shuang smiled faintly, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Shi Lei was also sensitive enough to sense Mu Shuang's sadness. He was conflicted. "Am I really wrong? Shouldn't I be so unfaithful? Should I be single-minded? "
Lingyumo looked at Mu Shuang seriously. Finally, she nodded slowly, and her beautiful face regained its pure innocence. Then, she said to Shi Lei, "Stone Monster, you said it yourself. Now that I've learned how to drive, you'll give me a car too!"
Shi Lei hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, I will, I will!"
Lingyumo smiled and nodded. Her innocent girl-next-door attitude made Shi Lei's heart gradually calm down, and he stopped thinking about those complicated problems.
"Stone Monster, I have a gift for you!" Lingyumo smiled and looked at Shi Lei with her pure and bright eyes.
Being stared at by Ling Yumo's pure gaze, Shi Lei felt ashamed in his heart. "Little Mo, what gift do you want to give me?"
Lingyumo stood up from her seat and waved at Shi Lei. "Stone Monster, come here!"
Shi Lei also stood up and walked to Lingyumo's side.
Lingyumo was wearing a plain beige cotton sweater. She reached out her slender hand and held Shi Lei's large hand. Her face was full of joy as she walked to the piano in Palando Restaurant.
Lingyumo walked to the piano and said politely to the female piano technician, "Excuse me, may I borrow the piano?"
In a western restaurant, if a customer was interested in playing the piano, no one would refuse. Of course, the prerequisite was that the player didn't play too badly.
The female piano technician smiled and nodded. Then, she stood up and let Lingyumo play.
Lingyumo sat on the piano stool and turned to look at Shi Lei. Then, her slender hands rested on the black and white piano keyboard.
Her ten fingers were very beautiful. Each finger was slender and comparable to the hands of most hand models.
Shi Lei looked at Lingyumo in surprise. He knew that Lingyumo didn't know how to play the piano. Could it be …
Lingyumo took a deep breath. Her slender fingers began to dance on the black and white piano keyboard.
A beautiful melody came out from the piano. The tune was very soothing and wasn't difficult to play.
Shi Lei, who liked piano music, immediately knew the name of the tune.
The song that Ling Yumo was currently playing was called "Tears", or in other words, "Tears". In 7556, it was created by a descendant of China who lived in the Southern Dynasty Kingdom, the pianist 'Daydream', and it caused a huge reaction.
Shi Lei liked this tune very much. However, Shi Lei looked at Lingyumo's peaceful face and his heart ached for a moment.
"Little Ink, are you trying to use this song to express your feelings? Little Ink, don't worry. I won't give up on you in this lifetime! Unless you want to leave me, I'll keep persevering! "
After the sad "Tears" ended, Lingyumo stood up.
Shi Lei clapped hard, his eyes showing his sincere gratitude. At this moment, Shi Lei was really moved!
He still remembered the first time he came to Palando. Shi Lei said that he liked girls who played the piano. Lingyumo didn't know how to play at that time. But in such a short period of time, Lingyumo had actually learned "Tears". It was obvious that she had done a lot for Shi Lei.
Lingyumo was the kind of girl next door who made people's hearts warm. She looked at Shi Lei and said softly, "Stone Monster, do you like it?"
Under Lingyumo's surprised gaze, Shi Lei opened his arms and hugged Lingyumo tightly. It was as if he wanted to merge Lingyumo into his body.
Lingyumo was surprised at first. Then, she reached out and hugged Shi Lei's back.
"Little Ink, thank you. I …" Shi Lei's eyes moistened slightly. He moved closer to Lingyumo's ear and whispered, "I like it very, very much. Little Ink, I like you!"
