Ruye's pupils suddenly narrowed, the news broadcast was still going on, but the atmosphere in the coffee shop took a turn for the worse.
Leng Ling's handsome face was filled with a hint of chill, and his sharp eyes were directed at the man opposite. He asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Li En was also shocked by the sudden news. He frowned and really wanted to think about the whole thing. Leng Ling got up from his seat, walked to the old lady and asked, "The nearest flight back to West Yorkshire is
When will your train arrive?”
Seeing Leng Ling's serious expression, the old lady was a little surprised and said, "Young man, do you want to go back?"
Leng Ling had a cold face and cold eyes, "Tell me, what time is the train?"
The old lady said regretfully, "I'm sorry, the bus that just left is the latest bus today. You can only wait for the early bus at six o'clock tomorrow."
Two sharp eyebrows were raised fiercely, and Leng Ling asked again, "Do you have a car?"
The old lady didn't understand the situation at the scene for a while, but she had a good impression of the young man in front of her, so she nodded immediately and said, "Yes, but..."
With a hint of darkness flashing through his golden eyes, Lien walked up to the old lady and said, "Please sell us your car, we need to get out of here urgently."
"Young man, my car is very old. Whether it can be driven is still a question... Young man, are you going back to Siyol?"
Leng Ling looked at Li En, who took out the money and stuffed it into the old lady's hand, "Where is the key?"
The old lady returned the money to Lean. She opened a drawer next to the counter, took out a bunch of keys, and handed it to him, "Young man, if you need it, just drive away. I'll give that car to you."
, if it can still work..."
"Thank you."
Leng Ling had no patience to wait any longer. After thanking the old lady, he strode out of the coffee shop.
Lean took the key and walked out without stopping.
"Young man, my car is..."
Just when the old lady remembered that she hadn't told the other party where the car was parked, she saw Lean waving to her outside the store and quickly disappeared.
A few minutes later, an old car appeared on the street of the town.
The paint on the body was mottled and almost all the parts were rusted. Fortunately, the tires were intact and it could barely run. I just didn't know how long such an antique-level car could last.
Leng Ling was sitting in the passenger seat, with his hands clenched on his legs, his eyes like deep lakes looking at the road ahead, his face ashen.
"How long does it take to get to Seyol?"
Lean was concentrating on driving. He glanced at Leng Ling from the corner of his eye and said in a serious tone, "It will take at least four hours."
Leng Ling cursed in a low voice, "Drive there as fast as possible. You must catch the last train to Kessel."
This was the first time that Lien saw Leng Ling swearing. Although at such a critical moment, he should be driving without any distractions, he still couldn't control his thoughts.
The Leng Ling I know has always been cold, reserved, indifferent, and rarely reveals his inner emotions to others. Even though I have the closest relationship with him, sometimes I still feel that he is distant from me.
So far away, this cold and arrogant person like a holy lotus is so inaccessible and unattainable.
But in this small town far away from all the hustle and bustle of the world, even though he only stayed with him for a short two days, he felt that Leng Ling was now much more humane.
Underneath his hard shell that pretends to be strong and brave, he actually has the softest and gentlest heart.
"As commanded."
The car finally left the town and circled on the rugged mountain road.
Leng Ling's eyes were cold and gloomy as he looked out the car window at the sky that was gradually turning orange with his deep eyes.
She thought Karl's conspiracy was nothing more than this, but Leng Ling never expected that he would lure her away from Kessel and immediately launch a surprise attack.
I don’t know what’s going on in Kossel now, how much the “Wings of Freedom” has lost, whether the people are there, or whether dangerous reinforcements have arrived there.
His dark eyes revealed an unconcealable eagerness. For the first time, Leng Ling felt that he was so useless.
As night fell, a bit of chill invaded through the cracks in the windows. It was not until the earth was completely plunged into darkness that the two people's car finally arrived at the train station.
As soon as the car stopped, Leng Ling could not wait to open the door and rush to the platform. The Valencian soldiers who had been guarding the platform for a long time also swarmed around him when they saw Leng Ling's appearance.
The leading soldier gave a cold smile and said, "Your Highness Leng Ling, you have finally appeared. We have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Lean also rushed over. When he saw the situation at the scene, his face suddenly darkened. He quietly hid behind a pillar and took out a pistol from his pocket, ready at any time.
After glancing at several people who came, Leng Ling looked calm and composed, with an inviolable majesty on his proud face.
Another soldier looked around and asked, "Your Highness, why are you here alone? Where is your knight? Could it be that he abandoned you and ran away?"
"I heard that your knight is a Valencian soldier. It seems that he knew we were going to kill you and defected before the battle."
The people next to me laughed and said, "That's right, hahaha..."
Facing the other party's provocation, Ruye's deep eyes darkened, and her cold voice became dark and boundless, "Who sent you here? Is it Karl? Or Mrs. Ruth?"
Several black gun muzzles were pointed at Leng Ling, and several soldiers laughed evilly, "Your Highness Leng Ling, don't you think you talk too much?"
A soldier suddenly said, "It's okay. He's going to die soon anyway, so there's no harm in telling him."
The soldier slowly walked towards Leng Ling and said, "Your Highness, they are not the only ones who want to kill you."
Leng Ling's face changed slightly, "Who else wants to kill me?"
The other party raised his eyebrows sinisterly and said proudly, "Let me tell you, the person who sent us this time is..."
"Woo——"
A train slowly entered the platform, completely covering up the soldier's voice.
The car door slowly opened, and several passengers walked out of the car one after another. At this moment, a burst of gunfire rang out from the crowd.
"boom!"
The soldier who spoke earlier had a bloody hole in his forehead and fell straight forward, with blood slowly flowing to the ground.
When the surrounding passengers heard the gunshots, they were startled at first, and then they all screamed when they saw this horrific scene.
Passengers who didn't know what was happening crowded around each other on the platform, pushing and screaming, and couldn't wait to leave the place. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Oh shit!"
Several soldiers were rushed away by the random flow of people. They did not expect that things would become so out of control. In order to maintain order at the scene, they could only fire one shot in the sky. "We are arresting wanted criminals. All irrelevant
People leave immediately!"
Originally, they wanted to ask the people at the scene to leave, but they did not expect that these people were like frightened birds. Their screams became louder than before. Several old people tremblingly tried to run out of the crowd, but were pushed down by others. On the ground, he fell onto the soldiers.
"You damn old man, get out of here!"
The soldier pushed the old man away fiercely and searched for Leng Ling in the crowd.
At this moment, the train started slowly and made a low rumble. Only then did several soldiers realize that something was wrong. They turned around and shot in the direction of the train and chased it, but they failed to catch up.
"He actually let him escape!"
"Hurry up and tell Mr. Solo!"
"yes!"
**********
In the swaying carriage, a young man with black hair and black eyes sat by the window, quietly looking at the blurry scenery outside the window, his clear eyes dim.
The young and beautiful flight attendant walked to the side with a slight smile on his face, "Sir, would you like something to drink?"
The black-haired man had a calm expression and was silent, but he could not hide his innate noble and melancholy temperament.
When there was no response, the flight attendant felt a little embarrassed and asked politely, "Sir?"
"a cup of coffee."
A magnetic voice came from the next table, immediately attracting the flight attendant's attention.
The female flight attendant immediately turned to look to the other side and saw a blond man with his arms folded and a smile on his handsome face, which swept away the awkward atmosphere just now.
"OK."
Pointing at the black-haired man, he raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Give him a cup of black tea without sugar."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The female flight attendant walked forward on black high heels. The blond man turned his head and looked at the man at the next table, "Still thinking about what just happened?"
After a short pause, the man continued, "Don't think about it. Before you understand everything, it's useless no matter how much you think about it."
Leng Ling withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, her thin pink lips parted slightly, "Since Ruth and Karl are on the same team, if they didn't want to kill me, who else in Valencia would be so capable and dare to commit murder in public?"
A person's name flashed across his mind, and Lien almost blurted it out.
But then I thought about it, even if that person wanted to kill Leng Ling, he didn't have the ability. Such a precise arrangement and plan could not be completed by him alone.
However, if both his and Richard's inferences that night were correct and that man's influence had begun to penetrate into the military, then all this would be possible.
Originally, I wanted to find another opportunity to study it with Richard, but looking at the current situation, I can only postpone this matter for now. I hope this is just something I and Richard have to worry about.
Lien thought this, and his dark golden eyes darkened.
"Ling, don't think about it, just have a good rest. When we get to Kessel tomorrow, there will be a fierce battle waiting for us."
Leng Ling nodded lightly, then supported his chin with one hand, leaned against the table and closed his eyes.
Outside the window, the howling cold wind blew across the iron sheet of the carriage, making a roaring sound, and the frightening chirping sound made people's hearts palpitate, as if it foreshadowed the coming greater danger and conspiracy.
