Ling Xiao got off the plane halfway through. On the one hand, he didnât want to go to Washington to participate in the final resolution of the matter. On the other hand, he couldnât stand the sad atmosphere in the cabin.
From Charles, to Scott, to Wolverine, to every student at Mutant School, even Nightcrawler, they all have a sad face.
So in the middle of the journey, Ling Xiao left the plane. He didnât even let the plane land, so he jumped high in the sky.
This is not a relief. Among the many people present, only he knows that Jean is still alive, but he canât say it. This feeling is very uncomfortable.
Standing on the streets of Manhattan, watching the TV speech half of what the US President said, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, he knew Charles and they had succeeded.
The crisis of Mutants and Humansâ full-scale war has been eliminated, and the world has become calm again. Even many people simply did not realize the approach of the crisis at this time and lived peacefully as always.
But is the crisis really completely lifted? In Ling Xiaoâs opinion, not at all, this time is the best and last chance for mankind. It is very possible to launch a raid before Mutants does not react. To defeat the Mutants completely, although the incident may last for a long time, this is their best chance.
Missing this time, they will never have a chance to completely defeat Mutants.
Even if Professor Charles deliberately helped to cover up everything that happened in Alkali Lake, but donât forget, also Magneto, he was impossible to help cover up all of this, and even publicized it.
Magneto himself is the spiritual leader of Mutants like Professor Charles, not to mention that his Brotherhood of Mutants has tens of thousands of staff. I am afraid that many people will believe what he says. After all, many Mutants are in At the same time, a fatal crisis was felt.
Under the seemingly calm lake, there is still one after another undercurrent hidden in front of you. Maybe sometime, it will turn into a turbulent undercurrent.
In the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan at night, Ling Xiao hung up the phone, Gan Jing will fly back to Los Angeles next week, and Ling Xiao will go back before then.
This summer, Gan Jing changed her ticket several times. She should have returned to Los Angeles very early, but because of the gang fighting, Ling Xiao asked Gan Jing to fly directly to New York reunited with him, but afterwards, because of Holly Robinsonâs affair and his inadvertent involvement in Mutantsâ troubles, Gan Jing delayed his flight back to America.
Of course, Ling Xiao did not tell Gan Jing the truth, but asked her to help connect Chang Kuanâs younger sister, and the two flew back to Los Angeles together.
Holding red wine, Ling Xiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, silently recalling the gains of this time New York trip.
Suddenly, the door of the room was knocked, Ling Xiao put down the wine glass, walked quickly to open the door, Zhou Qian appeared at the door, and Ling Xiao was taken aback.
âWhy, donât you welcome me?â Zhou Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiao with a faint smile.
âNo, no, please come in, please come in!â Ling Xiao quickly let in the door, and while letting Zhou Qian, who was holding the suitcase, walk in, he said, âI remember I was for Xu Why did Liang call you?â
When I left Flushing last time, Ling Xiao checked his own luggage to Xu Liang, so when I came back this time, I asked her to send it over. , And at the same time intend to ask her to rub it on to express her gratitude.
âAâLiang has something to do at night, so please ask me to send it over.â Zhou Qian handed the suitcase to Ling Xiao, and said at the same time: âLetâs take a look, thereâs not much in there. Isnât there anything.â
âDonât read it, I still canât believe you, this time really troubles you, let you take such a big risk.â Ling Xiao gently shook the head, With a sincere expression of gratitude.
âNothing, as a friend, we should help. Also,â Zhou Qian took out two stacks of USD from his small bag and threw it aside. He said with some displeasure: âThis is The 20,000 USD you gave is here. As friends, we can help you, but you canât insult us.â
âI didnât mean to insult you, this is just a little compensation I give you. âLing Xiaoâs face was filled with wry smiles.
âWe would rather not have this kind of compensation.â Zhou Qian chop nails and sever Iron said.
âWell, I have done this wrong, I apologize to you.â Ling Xiao reached out and put the USD away, he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and turned to Zhou Qian said: âBut as an apology and gratitude, I canât ask you to have dinner too much. I have already booked a seat. You have to give me the face, otherwise I will have no face to see you two.â
Zhou Qian stared at Ling Xiao for a while, and smiled: âI will spare you this time, and the next time, we will take care of you. What are you still doing? Donât hurry up and lead the way. .â
âYes, please here.â Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to look like a gentleman, and respectfully invites Zhou Qian to go out for a meal, and the girl walked outside with a sweet ringtone.
Hilton Hotel is located near the Hudson River. The top-floor restaurant here captures the prosperity of Midtown Manhattan and the tranquility of Hudson with a super wide view. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking New York skyline Great view.
Hand-made ceramic tiles, imported solid wood floors, carefully carved stone decorations, also a field-like sky garden, sitting on the spacious and comfortable terrace sofa, savoring fine wines and food, the hot summer adds a touch of coolness.
Zhou Qian shook the head, looking at Ling Xiao, said with emotion: âThe rich world is really hard to understand!â
âWhere am I rich? Man, you canât even buy a house in New York!â Ling Xiao gave a helpless wry smile. The house prices in New York are ridiculously expensive, and Manhattan here is extremely expensive land. There are not hundreds of people who want to buy a good apartment. Donât even think about 10,000 USD.
âThatâs, this is New York. Even the broken apartment that AâLiang and I rent now costs 3100,000. Itâs even said to be Manhattan.â Zhou Qian gave Ling Xiao a white look. , And then looked around, only then got closer, lowered his voice and asked: âHas the previous matter been solved?â
âIt has been completely solved, donât worry.â Ling Xiao said with a faint smile: âI was originally worried that things would involve you, but after returning to New York, seeing that you are safe and sound, I am completely relieved, so that I can return to Los Angeles safely.â
âAre you going back to Los Angeles, are you waiting for your girlfriend?â Zhou Qian was taken aback for a moment.
âWhen something like that happened, how dare I let her come to New York? Next week, she will fly directly to Los Angeles from China, and I will go back before then.â
âOh!â Zhou Qian lowered his head and stirred the juice in the mixing cup, inadvertently, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
While speaking, the waiter had already delivered the appetizers, Zhou Qian lifts the head, took a look at Ling Xiao, and saw that his gaze was looking towards the beautiful scenery in the distance, then he said: â Ling, now that the matter has been settled, why didnât you stay in the hotel over Flushing and came to Manhattan instead.â
Ling Xiao turned his head, looked at Zhou Qian, and explained in a low voice: âThe last time I lived in Flushing was also due to a cause, and it caused you so much trouble afterwards, so I wanted to live in Manhattan first, so as not to have any more accidents and involve you.â
âAlthough I want to say that we are friends and donât care about everything. But I can only represent myself, not AâLiang, she is a good girl, and I donât want to see him hurt, so thank you, Ling, thank you for taking care of us âZhou Qian looked at Ling Xiao with a smile on his face.
âWhat about you yourself, Xiaoqian?â Ling Xiao looked at Zhou Qian with a playful look. This girl has hidden meaning.
But before Zhou Qian can answer, the waiter on the side has already brought the selected red wine, Ling Xiao nodded, and asked him to pour oneself and Zhou Qian a glass, half a glass. The red wine, set off Zhou Qianâs beautiful face, made people a little intoxicated for a while.
