Chapter 280: Joining the Game 23
As soon as she took off her clothes, she received a call from Liang Anping. As soon as the call was connected, Jiao Ji's voice came over. "Laila, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I was taking a shower when I heard a loud noise." Lan Hanlu's voice trembled a little.
"There was a huge explosion in the block near you. Don't come out of your room. I'll be there soon." The sound of him opening and closing the door was heard from the other end.
"Okay, okay." The sound of her sparsely putting on clothes was also heard by the other end.
Lan Hanlu went straight to the bathroom, washed herself, wiped her hair lightly with a towel and left it alone. She took out a bottle of rum from the space, poured a glass and drank it directly.
She had just packed her things and put them in her space when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and Liang Anping came in and hugged her.
"How is it? Are you scared?" The aroma of rum came to him along with Lan Hanlu's breath.
Lan Hanlu was a little embarrassed. "It's okay. It wasn't too loud in the hotel. I was just not prepared and got startled."
She gently pushed him away and they entered the room. Lan Hanlu threw the clothes she wore for the date on the sofa, and Liang Anping picked up the clothes and put them next to her.
His nose wrinkled slightly during this process, but he casually patted the back of the sofa. "Come here and let me blow-dry your hair. Otherwise, you'll get sick easily."
"It's been wrapped in the hair drying cap for a long time. It should be almost dry." Although she said this, she still handed the hair dryer to Liang Anping and sat on the sofa.
The hair dryer was turned on, a humming sound was heard, and warm air blew on the hair. Liang Anping ran his slender fingers through his hair. "That's something to pay attention to, too. Some problems accumulate little by little from small details.
"Were you scared just now? Was the sound very loud?" He lowered his eyebrows and looked at his hair seriously.
"It wasn't very loud, actually. The hotel's soundproofing is decent, but I could still hear it. It was mainly because there was a lot of commotion in the corridor after the explosion that scared me a bit.
But before you came, the hotel waiter had already come to explain the situation. By the way, why did it explode? I still haven't figured it out."
"Do you remember one day, a foreign man came to see me with bodyguards?" Liang Anping asked this question.
"I remember. She was pretty, but still a little cold." Liang Anping pinched his nose as soon as he finished speaking.
"Why are you so perverted? He's just average looking, but that part is okay." After giving her a little lesson, he started to blow dry her hair again.
"Oh, I just said that! I didn't think much about it." Lan Hanlu rubbed her nose.
"It's that guy. His car was blown up." When he said this, the hair dryer shook slower.
"How could this happen? Is France so unsafe now? He should be fine, after all, I see he has a lot of bodyguards with him." There was some fear in his tone.
"Alas, unfortunately, he didn't escape that fate. The killer was going for his life, and the bomb was planted under his car."
"That's such a pity. Don't be too sad." Lan Hanlu grabbed his hand on her shoulder.
"I do feel a little uncomfortable, but I can't say I'm sad. He was just a business partner of mine. But I'm going to attend his funeral in a couple of days."
Having said that, he turned off the hair dryer and sat down next to Lan Hanlu. He played with Lan Hanlu's hair for a few times and said, "Baby, can you go with me?"
Lan Hanlu twisted her fingers together when he asked. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" A funeral was a formal occasion, and if she accompanied Liang Anping, it would be an indirect acknowledgement of their relationship.
Liang Anping grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest. "Then can you bear to let me go alone? In that kind of atmosphere, what if I can't bear it?"
Lan Hanlu pulled her hand back and covered his mouth, "What's wrong with you? You can say anything. It's just to attend a funeral? I'll accompany you. If you say nonsense like this again, I won't pay any attention to you." Her tone was fierce, but her caring attitude was obvious.
Zhang Anping took the hand covering his mouth, kissed it, and then held it with both hands. "I knew my baby cared about me."
Even when Lan Hanlu glared at him, he smiled. After Hanlu sent the people away, he grabbed the skirt that Liang Anping had thrown aside and threw it directly into the dirty clothes basket.
Three days later, Lan Hanlu, dressed in black and wearing a black top hat, attended the man's funeral with him. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified due to the drizzle.
Lan Hanlu was also a little depressed by the atmosphere. Liang Anping teased her for a long time before she smiled.
But Liang Anping's next words made her put her expression back. "Baby, I'm going back to China. Will you come with me?"
Lan Hanlu grabbed his hand and said, "Anping may not be able to do it this time. I need to go back to see my aunt. After all, I have been out for too long."
Liang Anping felt a little disappointed when he heard him say that. "Does that mean we won't be able to see each other for a long time? I don't know if this will be the last time we meet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Hanlu turned around and ignored him. He quickly went up to her and hugged her and said, "Baby, I was wrong. I said nonsense and made you angry." He coaxed Lan Hanlu for a long time but she didn't turn her head.
He quickly turned around and squatted on the ground, looking up at her. Lan Hanlu's tears were falling. Liang Anping was anxious when he saw her. "Baby, why are you crying? I was wrong. It's all my fault. Please don't cry. It hurts my heart."
"You, why do you keep saying these things and making me sad." The sobbing tone made people feel even more distressed.
Because of this sentence, the atmosphere between the two of them was even more depressed. However, after sending Liang Anping to the plane, a large sum of money was transferred to her bank card.
Lan Hanlu knew that this was a transfer from Liang Anping, who had wanted to give it to her before but was afraid she would refuse. She didn't care and directly bought a plane ticket to her destination.
Another sum of money has also arrived in this period. Could it be that I have an appointment with Lillian? I checked and she has not arrived yet.
Lan Hanlu took out her smart brain and found a lot of things through a website that Kayla had given her before.
This time she wanted to use her free time to carefully investigate the situation of the island where our organization was established, as well as the internal situation of the island's administrators.
After all, the last time she entered that website, she discovered that there were more than just four killers under the control of this organization.
What's more, these girls with special talents were captured and trained to be killers. What happened to the orphans adopted from all over the world?
