Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 519 Killing someone, but also destroying their spirit?

Pay money to buy it?
This is a real slap in the face to Ximen Lang!

"I already said this is just a small token of my appreciation, a little filial piety. How dare you bring up money with me, and insist on buying it? Who are you trying to insult!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang, who truly felt he had suffered a great insult, turned around and stuffed stacks of mooncakes into Lao Luo's arms.

"Look at me, Lao Luo, take a good look! Do I look like someone who's short of money? I've already told you, I have so much money I don't even know where to put it, and you're still telling me this? Isn't this an insult? Tell me!"

"So I was wrong?"

"You're so wrong! You shouldn't have mentioned the word 'money' in front of me. It's so vulgar, so incredibly vulgar! It's so vulgar that I don't even want to talk to you anymore. It makes me feel inferior, you know?"

"I wonder who was planning to give those people money just now."

"What did you say?!"

With a raised eyebrow, he glared at Hao Pingchuan, who dared to interrupt, and sent him tumbling back into the corner, silencing him completely.

Drop a sentence.

"Alright, that's settled then. It's just some equipment, right? I'll take care of it! And as for the specialized equipment used in the exercises, I'll look around and bring it back if I find any! You don't need to worry about it, just wait for my good news!"

Having said that, he couldn't wait any longer. After greeting Bai Ling, Ximen Lang hurriedly left.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished brazenly from what they thought was a remote place, but which was actually right under surveillance.

This action, of course, could not be hidden from Ximen Lang, who had been constantly monitoring his every move through ubiquitous surveillance ever since he left.

Sure enough, Ximen Lang was still the same Ximen Lang when he first arrived in Beijing, without making any progress whatsoever.

Bai Ling said wearily.

"It's been so long, and you're still so focused on the head but neglecting the tail! You haven't made any progress at all, what are we going to do about this!"

Bai Ling would certainly feel exhausted and even ashamed about this.

Although Ximen Lang was a complete novice and didn't understand many intricacies, having grown up in a safe and affluent environment, he didn't need to know so many complexities.

But you also have to see who his wife is!

she!
Bai Ling!

He was an outstanding graduate of the intelligence program at Moscow Central University, a profession he made his living from!
But what happened? Despite being taught this over and under for so long, he still couldn't learn even the most basic caution!
On the contrary, I've been influenced by him and am becoming more and more like him!
How could Bai Ling, an elite who prides herself on being the queen of the intelligence world, not feel ashamed?
It's no exaggeration to say that she was too ashamed to show her face in public!

However, Lao Luo clearly had a completely different opinion from Bai Ling on this matter!

Although Lao Luo was very troubled by the fact that Bai Ling was becoming more and more like Ximen Lang because of him, he even felt very sorry about it.

It's such a terrible thing that Ximen Lang has led such a good girl to become like this!
But that's still much, much better than Ximen Lang and Bai Ling's cunning and slippery nature, right?
If he really gets influenced by Bai Ling to become like this, then they will really have a headache!
So, Lao Luo didn't know what others were thinking, nor did he want to know. Anyway, he thought Ximen Lang's carefree and somewhat silly nature was genuinely quite endearing.

After all, it's easier to fool and deceive someone who's naive.

Just like this time, he only mentioned it briefly, said a few words, and immediately, Ximen Lang excitedly went to make arrangements for it.

Would someone with ulterior motives have been so accommodating?
Can't you?
"So, stop putting it off. Ah Lang is really great! You should be burning incense with gratitude for finding a man like Ah Lang! This isn't just your good fortune, it's a blessing for the entire city of Beijing! Gao Cheng, what do you say?"

Seeing that Lao Luo is truly outrageous and also truly cunning.

Murder, and then to destroy the spirit! Gao Cheng couldn't hold back any longer.

"Commander."

"Hey, we're not strangers, why are you being so formal? Just call me Lao Luo like everyone else, it sounds more friendly."

"No, I wouldn't dare be so disrespectful in front of you seniors. I'll stick to the seniority we agreed on and call you Uncle Luo."

They settled on the form of address directly, without any ulterior motives; Gao Cheng simply said what he meant.

"Uncle Luo, for you, Lang Ge doing this is of course an extremely good thing. But for us..."

"What's wrong? Everything's fine, isn't it?"

"That's good, but the problem is that Brother Lang is from our side! He's first and foremost a citizen of our side, and only then."

I was just about to take this opportunity to properly discuss with Lao Luo and the others about Ximen Lang's ownership in the name of future generations.

A resolute statement.
"No! Ah Lang is my man first, and then a citizen of both our families! Look, the household registration certificates are right here!"

As she spoke, Bai Ling directly pulled out a household registration certificate with Ximen Lang's name written on it and handed it to Gao Cheng. (In 1951, regulations were introduced to control matters such as births, deaths, migration, and emigration. On January 9, 1958, the household registration system officially came into being. This is mentioned earlier for ease of understanding.)
This left Gao Cheng speechless.

After Bai Ling finished playing the bad cop, Lao Luo naturally had to step in and play the good cop.

He first said a few indifferent words to Bai Ling.

"Bai Ling, what kind of attitude is this? We're all family here, why are you being so serious?"

Then, Lao Luo began to greet Gao Cheng.

"Gao Cheng, why are you being so serious? What's with all this 'yours' and 'mine'? Aren't they all the same?"

A series of combined punches completely silenced Gao Cheng, who wasn't good at arguing with words.

Luo Yonghao immediately stopped there.

After asking Gao Cheng about his preparations and whether he had time, I received an immediate and positive reply from him.

Instead of giving him a hard time, Lao Luo unleashed a desperate and ineffective super weapon.

"It's like this, several of Bai Ling's elders really want to meet with a talented young person like you and hear your opinions. If you have time, shall we go and meet the elders?"

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Gao Cheng's face turned red in the naked eye.

They nodded hastily, afraid that if they agreed too late they would miss out on this opportunity, and repeatedly said they were willing.

I was just about to ask Bai Ling what she thought, whether she should also go along, talk to her elders, chat with them, and spend some quality time with them.

Turning my head
Good heavens, Bai Ling was already carrying the mooncake box that Ximen Lang had dropped, ready to set off.

This really shocked Lao Luo!
Seeing that Bai Ling had actually brought this thing with her.

Just about to ask
Bai Ling immediately started spouting nonsense.

"Anyway, it's a waste to throw this away, and we can't afford to spend it. We might as well just take it with us. After all, it's Ah Lang's way of showing kindness, and we can't refuse, don't you think?"
