Bichi is located on the shore of Lake Ashi on the outskirts of Toto. It is a medium-sized hot spring club. The internal garden structure imitates the ancient buildings of Toto, which is very unique and full of charm.
This is one of the most famous hot spring tourist areas in the entire East Island. Surrounding Lake Ashi, there are countless large and small hot spring clubs. Bichi arrived late, and the boss is a foreigner from Takayama Country.
From the time I first arrived until now, I have always been marginalized. In the past ten years, the club has been relocated three times in a row, each time becoming more and more remote. This has inadvertently led to Bichi's reputation becoming more and more bleak. Business has been bleak every day, and it has even been reduced to the point where it can only
Barely able to operate.
However, such a remote location is not without its benefits. Although few serious businessmen are willing to take advantage of it, it is real.
Bichi is located by the lake, backed by mountains, with steep terrain and dense jungle. It is an extremely difficult place to be surrounded and is very suitable for a breakout.
For some people with ulterior motives, this is simply the best hiding place. It is remote and low-key. Even if you are exposed, there is a high possibility of escaping due to the terrain.
This is the place where Li Tianlan and others stayed. There were about fifty people, divided into five batches. At nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone safely entered the Bichi Hot Spring Club.
Li Tianlan's Donghuangdian is the last group of people. Bai Youming personally leads the team. Donghuangdian now has seven people. Six people came to Dongdao, but only Ning Qiancheng knows Japanese, and he is not very proficient.
, when he translated the name of the club with a weird expression, country bumpkin Li Tianlan didn't feel anything, but Li Baitian's face turned red.
Bichi...
How fucking brave does this weirdo have to be to come up with a name like this?
He resisted the desire to complain and walked into the club. The boss, who had already arranged for other people, came out with a smile on his face, holding an umbrella in one hand, and walked face to face with them in the heavy rain.
The boss looks to be in his fifties, slightly bald and slightly chubby. He is wearing a sportswear and has a smile on his face. He looks like a standard businessman who is friendly and makes money.
But Li Tianlan and others did not dare to look down upon this obese middle-aged uncle.
Because in the small amount of information Jie personally sent to them on the plane, the true identity of the hot spring club owner was clearly mentioned.
Han Shixun, a businessman from the Gaoshan Kingdom, was originally from Zhongzhou and had a small fortune. He immigrated to the Gaoshan Kingdom twenty years ago. He had an easy-going temperament and was extremely luxurious. He was a prodigal who had brought his prodigal family to a certain level. He became a prodigal in the Gaoshan Kingdom in less than two years.
After losing all his family business, he made a living in Gaoshan Country, opened a restaurant, ran a company, ran a bar, played e-sports, and even owned a very small entertainment company.
This big spender had countless ways to make money, but in the end, it was amazing that none of them allowed him to really make money. In a few years, he visited almost all the big cities in Gaoshan Country. What kind of compensation could he make?
What? In the end, he owed a huge debt in Gaoshan Country ten years ago. When he was about to be sued, he smuggled to the East Island and opened a hot spring club with only a little money. He kept his name anonymously and relied on millions of net profits every year.
With a huge income, life was barely stable.
But all of this is Han Shixun's apparent identity. In fact, if he hadn't read the information in advance, Li Tianlan would never believe that this ordinary-looking greasy uncle turned out to be a genuine Thunder Realm master.
He now has Gaoshan nationality, but his actual identity is that he is a senior agent affiliated with the Second Department of the General Staff Department of Zhongzhou and the deputy director of the Ninth Bureau of the Second Department of the General Staff Department. In terms of military rank, he is a veritable colonel.
The Second Department of the General Staff Department is the famous Zhongzhou Military Intelligence Department. The internal organization is extremely complex. The functions of the sixteen bureaus are overlapping but each performs its own duties. The ninth bureau belongs to the External Operations Bureau and collects intelligence from various Asian countries. In some specific
During the period, some assassination missions were even carried out. Countries such as Gaoshan, Dongdao, Hengguo, and Annan were all within the scope of activities of the Ninth Bureau. Han Shixun was one of the six deputy directors of the Ninth Bureau of the Second Department, and he was the oldest deputy director.
, now settled in the East Island, all the information about Zhongzhou on the East Island was first compiled by him and then passed to Zhongzhou.
To put it bluntly, Han Shixun is Zhongzhou’s intelligence leader in Dongdao. Such a position may not be extremely powerful, but it is extremely sensitive and cannot be taken on unless someone has great loyalty. Han Shixun can stay on Dongdao for ten years, which shows that Zhongzhou
respect and trust in him.
"Hello, Chief."
Looking at the boss approaching, Bai Youming held an umbrella in one hand and raised his arm in a military salute with the other hand.
Han Shixun has the rank of senior colonel, and the most important goal of the Central Continent Conspiracy is to seek the East Island. Han Shixun's status is more important than before. It is appropriate to be awarded the rank of major general in the near future. Bai Youming was a member of the Border Guard Corps before coming to Sky Academy again.
Although the rank of deputy brigade officers and officers of the Border Guard Corps is generally one rank higher than the military ranks of the four theaters, the deputy brigade rank is only a colonel, which is one rank lower than Han Shixun's current rank. The salute is completely appropriate.
Li Tianlan and others also instinctively raised their hands in a solemn salute.
The chubby Han Shixun was startled, but did not return the greeting. Instead, he grabbed Bai Youming's raised arm and said helplessly: "Don't pay attention to this in Dongdao. There is no benefit. You are the guests and I am the boss."
,It's that simple."
Bai Youming simply nodded and said nothing more.
Han Shixun's eyes turned and he suddenly said: "Who is classmate Li Tianlan?"
Li Tianlan was slightly stunned, looked at Han Shixun, and said casually: "I am."
Before Han Shixun laid his eyes on Li Tianlan, Bai Youming had already taken a step forward quietly and said softly: "Tianlan is my godbrother, chief, how do you know about him?"
Han Shixun was deeply surprised that Bai Youming was so nervous, but he didn't think much about it. People like them who have been sent abroad by the Military Intelligence Department all year round basically have no position. The Zhongzhou General Staff has always been considered a force of the Southeast Group.
In terms of scope, the Chief of General Staff and the Minister of the Second Department can also be said to be the generals of the Southeast Group, but even so, the Southeast Group dare not say that they control the Military Intelligence Department. People like Han Shixun have no idea of the six major groups.
The concept, the word Zhongzhou, is their mission and honor, even their soul.
"I spoke to Principal Zhuang before I came here."
Han Shixun smiled and said: "The principal told me about this young genius who is gradually becoming famous among the younger generation in Zhongzhou. Now I have two wind and thunder twins in Zhongzhou, and one has the heart of a king. They are all in Dongdu at this time. For such a person, there is no need for a principal.
You are told that I must also protect it. In the future, the expansion of the territory of Central Continent will depend on talented people like you."
This is a great compliment. The term "prodigy" and "prodigy young man" were previously used for Wang Shengxiao and the young master of Kunlun City, Gu Hanshan. Now Han Shixun has given such a title to Li Tianlan, which shows that this person is dedicated to the country.
The uncle looked forward to him so much.
"The chief's words are serious."
Li Tianlan took a step forward and said calmly.
Han Shixun took a deep look at Li Tianlan and smiled without saying a word.
"Yes, Tianlan's level is still low now, and he still needs time to grow."
Bai Youming echoed, Han Shixun's words may not mean anything bad, but it may not necessarily sound like this when spread outside. Behind the word "praise and killing", it represents too many bloody tragedies. Bai Youming doesn't want Li Tianlan to be at a low level.
Just put on the hat of young genius.
"The most powerful country in the world in Zhongzhou can still afford some time."
Han Shixun patted Li Tianlan's shoulder calmly, with a gentle and firm hand: "If you need anything in Dongdao, just tell me. As long as I can provide it, I will never keep it private."
He paused and said softly but seriously: "If you don't fail Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou will not let you down."
Aren't the two mutually exclusive?
Li Tianlan felt a little self-deprecating for no reason. If this was really the case, what happened to their Li family and his father back then?
He took a deep breath and said without changing his expression: "I understand."
Han Shixun nodded and said with a smile: "No more words. Some of the colleagues who came just now are waiting for you in the conference room. Do you have anything that needs to be placed in your residence? If not, let's go to the conference room?"
Bai Youming nodded, and several people held umbrellas and headed straight to the conference room under the leadership of Han Shixun.
The conference room Han Shixun mentioned was actually a small banquet hall in the club, located at the highest position in the club. When Li Tianlan and others walked into the banquet hall, Jie, who was in charge of this operation, had already put on a black robe again and took off his clothes.
With a human skin mask on his face, he put on the silver mask again.
He stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to everyone, looking at the faint and hazy Holy Mountain of Dongdao in the distance through the pouring rain outside the window.
On the mountainside of the active volcano covered with white snow, Dongdao's special operations center kamikaze troops are located there. That location can be said to be the most important target they have planned on this trip.
There was a screen placed next to Jie, and what appeared on the screen was a map of the East Island. Countless bright spots were flashing on the map, and I didn't know what they meant.
Several people entered the banquet hall directly.
The moment he crossed the threshold, Bai Youming, who was walking beside Li Tianlan, paused intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Tianlan, who was completely unaware of this scene, walked into the venue without stopping.
Bai Youming and others followed closely behind, surrounding him as he moved forward.
For a moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on Li Tianlan's face.
Doubt, surprise, thoughtfulness, all kinds of looks, with complex meanings.
The mysterious and dangerous Bai Youming, the majestic and tall Xu Chu, the ethereal Li Baitian with his sword, the silent and indifferent Ning Qiancheng, the clear water Yu Qingyan, and the Ye Huayu who carries a long sword.
Everyone followed Li Tianlan's identity. In an instant, Li Tianlan stood alone in front, which was almost dazzling.
Bai Youming smiled softly. She didn't want Han Shixun to call Li Tianlan a young genius, but in his heart, his younger brother was no different from Wang Shengxiao, Gu Hanshan and others.
Since he is a young genius, he should behave like a young genius.
Li Tianlan finally realized something, but kept moving forward calmly.
There was a huge table with a long span in the banquet hall. It was obviously moved here temporarily. Li Tianlan didn't care about the position and walked to an empty seat to sit down.
Under the focus of everyone's eyes, his expression did not change at all, and his gentle and calm eyes swept back one by one. His aura was not fierce, but he did not give in or feel uneasy at all.
Most people looked away.
Only two people were still looking at Li Tianlan.
Both of them are extremely young, and their seats are relatively casual.
He has a handsome appearance and a slender figure. His whole body is filled with a warm and humble aura. He is more stable than sharp. He is more like a young scholar than a young genius.
The other person was equally young, about 23 or 24 years old. He had an ordinary appearance and was wearing a camouflage uniform without a military rank. He looked like the most ordinary freshman of Sky Academy, but his eyes were sharp and sharp.
As his eyes flickered, the feeling he gave people was all sharp and dangerous.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded slightly, but their eyes were full of indifference.
Han Shixun just said that the two wind and thunder twins and the king's heart are all in the East Island.
To be more precise, they should all be in Dongdu, all in this conference room.
Wang Shengxiao, heir to the Wang family in Beihai.
Gu Hanshan, the young master of Kunlun City.
A young genius?
Li Tianlan reached out and touched his short silver hair, his eyes becoming gentler.
