A two hundred thousand watch?

Lu Xin didn't even know there was a watch worth two hundred thousand!

Why do they want to make a watch for a price of 200,000?

This is not the time before Crimson Moon when money was worthless!

What he wanted to say just now was suddenly interrupted. He didn't know how to answer it, so he could only look at Vice President Xiao.

Vice President Xiao was a little flustered by Lu Xin's serious expression, and explained awkwardly:

"Little Lu Brother, I really refuse for you. I said you are definitely not the kind of ordinary person who can take such a small thing seriously. For you, money may be just a number at all. Unlike us, we wallow in piles of money every day..."

Lu Xin's expression became more serious.

He really wanted to tell Vice President Xiao: The main reason why he doesn't wallow in money is that he doesn't have that much money to wallow in.

"But..."

Vice President Xiao timidly handed the watch to Lu Xin and explained in a low voice, "Gao Yan is really grateful to you..."

"When we met in the quarantine area, he also said that he was very afraid of himself at the time, and he didn't understand why he was obsessed with that girl during that time, and was crazy about that girl, and for her, he did not hesitate to break his own boundaries again and again."

"Just because he accidentally saw the girl's eyes, his heart suddenly melted."

"He just felt like he was bewitched, and he was extremely obsessed with her..."

"I can't refuse any request from her, even if it turns into..."

"... Devil!"

"..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan himself shivered slightly, as if he was thinking of himself.

If he hadn't been cured of the pollution in a very short period of time, would he have become like Gao Yan?

He even understood it better.

Because he once had nightmares about his younger brothers and sisters.

"Two hundred thousand watches..."

Lu Xin This thought kept repeating in his mind.

"That kind of thing is so terrible..."

Vice President Xiao said with lingering fear, "Gao Yan said something to me in the quarantine area."

"That is, he would rather be deceived and lose all his family property than be deceived and lose himself..."

"..."

"That's why he wanted to give me this watch worth two hundred thousand?"

Lu Xin replied subconsciously and glanced at the small box involuntarily.

Vice President Xiao was frightened by the expressionless look in Lu Xin's eyes at the watch.

I feel a little guilty for no reason.

"I also know that this is actually not a good thing, but Gao Yan must let me pass it on..."

"If it weren't for the fact that his legs still need to be looked at for a while, he might have come to the door in person..."

After explaining several sentences in a row, Vice President Xiao said, "I originally wanted to reject it for you, but Gao Yan kept insisting."

"He also said that if I don't give you this watch, you won't recognize me as a friend..."

"..."

Lu Xin frowned and said, "If I don't accept it, will the consequences be so serious?"

"Yes!"

Vice President Xiao said seriously, "During this period of isolation, I met him and my friend named Li."

"Now they seem to have a serious desire to talk, and they keep talking to me about this."

"Generally speaking, we are all the same..."

"That is, we all became very sensitive. When we saw her, we felt that we could understand her thoughts. We could all feel her pitifulness and grievances. At the same time, we developed a strong desire to protect her. We just wanted to hold her in our arms, take care of her, and satisfy her. This Gao Yan was the most serious. He said that at that time, he did a lot of crazy things to get that Ping Ping."

"He said that he felt like a completely different person at that time. He was still himself, but he was controlled by a terrible emotion. That emotion brewed deeper and deeper. What started as a desire to protect gradually turned into a bottomless plea..."

"Ping Ping acted scared as soon as he saw him."

"But he can feel that Ping Ping actually likes him to do that, and even encourages him to do that."

"He sometimes wakes up suddenly and feels scared. He doesn't know if what he did is right."

"But Ping Ping will give him another hint."

"It's something he can understand immediately, but Ping Ping can give hints of many other explanations at any time."

"He said that at that time, he was affected by both internal and external influences, and was often in a state of aggrievement, because he felt that he had carried out all instructions and done everything in accordance with Ping Ping's will, but whenever he said it out loud, there was no sense at all."

"Even... even the torture instruments in the basement of his house..."

"Ping Ping likes to be tortured by him. Only then will she show an expression of real enjoyment..."

"There were even times when he was scared and would cry and beg her not to do this, but Ping Ping would change his face and scold him severely."

"He is a person with many beliefs. During that time, he felt like he had become a devil..."

"So, he didn't even dare to see Buddha statues and crosses..."

"He said that he became a demon, a kind of demon that even gods would despise him..."

"..."

Lu Xin was listening to Vice President Xiao's words a little absent-mindedly.

I didn't interrupt, just because I felt that he seemed to have a lot to talk about.

Probably even if Special Purity Department had tested them, he would not have explained the reasons in detail to them.

But after hearing it, I felt a strange touch.

Vice President Xiao said it very eloquently, and it was difficult for me to understand the complex psychological changes.

But he could feel that it was a very desperate and depressing state.

He just solved the pollution incident that time and let it go after making sure that he had no other worries for the time being.

However, Special Purity Department obviously would not be so hasty, so not only was there isolation afterwards, but some details were also investigated.

For example, how did Gao Yan become contaminated, and what was its state after being contaminated.

Why do you torture that girl, why are you afraid of Buddha statues, etc.

I haven't seen this report yet, but I think it must be related to pollution.

Most people who are contaminated will be regarded as mentally ill by ordinary people, and their behavior is indeed similar to that of mental patients.

To put it simply, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand why they behave like that.

Just like, Gao Yan was contaminated by the girl named Ping Ping.

In the pollution chain, this girl is in a higher position. If she abused Gao Yan, it would be easy to understand.

But it turns out that Gao Yan abused her, which makes people feel a little weird.

But what can we say to people who are exposed to pollution?

Normal people's thinking and desires are distorted here, so nothing is surprising.

I once met the S-class ability user from Sea Nation. He didn't think about anything and just wanted to die.

"Oops..."

He said countless words in one breath. Seeing that Lu Xin had been silent and did not speak, Vice President Xiao also reacted hastily.

Qiang smiled and said, "Look at what I'm doing by saying this, you must know better than me..."

As he spoke, he begged a little, "Little Lu Brother, please accept this watch. Gao Yan is actually quite scared right now. His leg is still injured, and he wanted me to bring him to you. He didn't come because I refused, but he must give me this watch for you."

"Just give me a little bit of face, okay..."

"..."

Looking at that pitiful appearance, I almost made Lu Xin look cute on the spot.

Lu Xin looked at him silently, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

Should I accept it or not?

Is it against the rules to accept gifts in private?

If you don't accept it...

He quickly came up with an idea, nodded, and said, "Business is the most important thing. I should also ask about the specific situation of this matter."

As he spoke, he took out the satellite phone and said, "I'll go out and make a call."

Vice President Xiao looked nervous. "Yeah."

With Vice President Xiao's worried expression, Lu Xin calmly picked up the cigarette and phone and came to the corridor.

Several colleagues were gathering here to smoke. Seeing Lu Xin coming, they immediately threw the cigarette butts on the ground, stamped them out with their feet, greeted Director Lu very enthusiastically, and then hurried back to the office with tense muscles.

"Two hundred thousand watches..."

Lu Xin Seeing that no one was around, he sighed quietly, then took out the phone and pulled it out.

Han Bing has been so busy lately that her hair is falling out, so Lu Xin is too embarrassed to call her about unimportant matters.

This matter is more important now, so it would be better to ask her for advice.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Shanbing..."

Han Bing answered the phone quickly, and there was a slight noise in the background.

"Hello, hello..."

Lu Xin was very polite and hurriedly said hello, "Are you busy now?"

"You're not busy."

Han Bing smiled and said, "I'm riding in the car."

"Oh."

Lu Xin agreed and said, "Actually, actually, I called you just to ask... ask..."

After saying it twice, I was still a little embarrassed and said, "Ask how the last incident was handled."

"The matter last time has been dealt with..."

Han Bing was slightly curious and said with a smile, "I have also sent the analysis results to your email. Did you forget to read them?"

"Huh?"

Lu Xin felt a little guilty and failed to answer in time.

"Ah, I understand. Do you want to ask about the reward?"

From Han Bing's side, there was the slight sound of a vehicle stopping, and then crisp footsteps.

"Reward?"

Lu Xin didn't want to ask about this, but when it came up, he really wanted to know.

"Don't worry, Mr. Single Soldier, I will help you get this done. When it comes to reporting mission rewards, I'm a professional."

The sound of footsteps on the iron stairs sounded from Han Bing's side.

"Great, thank you, thank you..."

Lu Xin felt sincere gratitude in his heart, made some mental assumptions, and then said, "There is one more thing..."

"Hehe, there are a lot of things we should talk about..."

"There's no end to what we can say on the phone."

"..."

Han Bing interrupted Lu Xin with a smile.

Lu Xin was slightly startled, and he discerned her tone very keenly. Was this a hint to hang up the phone?

Then he heard a voice saying, "So, why don't we discuss it in person?"

"Huh?"

Lu Xin was slightly startled.

First, he didn't react to Han Bing's words, and second, he felt as if he heard this sentence twice at the same time?

After being startled for a moment, he suddenly turned around and looked into the corridor.

On the second floor of the iron staircase, he saw a girl with long hair wearing a white down jacket looking at him with a smile.

She was holding a phone in her hand, wearing skinny black jeans, a pair of boots, fair skin, and silver half-rimmed glasses. Looking at Lu Xin's surprised expression, she smiled proudly and waved to Lu Xin with her satellite phone.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Single Soldier..."

"..."

This time it was clear, the voice came from the corridor and from the phone.

"Ah..."

Lu Xin had a cigarette in his mouth and the phone against his ear, feeling a little unresponsive.

"I'm on vacation..."

The girl looked at Lu Xin's reaction and smiled happily. She jumped up the steps and came to Lu Xin lightly:

"So, I will take you to see the house today..."

"..."

Looking at that white and tender smiling face, Lu Xin's pupils finally focused successfully.

The looks of the girl in the corridor and the girl who had given him small wontons outside Gao Lie gradually overlapped.

"Uh-huh!"

He reacted immediately and hurriedly took off the cigarette from his mouth and threw it into the ashtray of the paint bucket next to him.

Han Bing?

Is this girl Han Bing?

Why did she suddenly come to him?
