Chapter 137
The matter is very strange, the biggest doubt is: Field disappeared in Ares, but the body was found in the garbage incineration plant in Alta.There was an interval of one and a half months, and a distance of two hundred kilometers.What happened to him during this blank month and a half?
Was he killed in Ares, and his body was abandoned in the Alta garbage incineration plant; or did he leave the army without authorization, and was later killed in Alta? One and a half months is too long, and it is difficult to find out the truth.Mu Li frowned and thought about it, but he had no clue.
That's fine, don't think too much, I've already sent someone to investigate, wait for the results then.Today's dinner is very important, bring your mind back.Lanny reminded.
Mu Li nodded again.
The venue for the dinner was Lieutenant General Smith's private residence, which is located in the new Washington area to the west of the Chang'an area, where Americans live in large communities.Smith's private mansion covers an area of 1.8 hectares. It is a three-storey bungalow with a front yard and backyard, and a semi-indoor swimming pool. It is a typical luxurious family.The surrounding area is heavily guarded, and a large number of armed guards are stationed to ensure safety.When their car drove to the door, it was already past six in the evening, the cold wind was howling, and the weather outside was very cold.After getting out of the car, Mu Li quickly went around to Lan Ni's side, opened the car door, helped Lan Ni get out of the car, and put his cloak on her body by the way.Mu Li is glad that he also brought the long black cloak that matches the military uniform. This cloak is quite warm, and Lanny looks cold with her shoulders and back.
Lanny did walk with a limp and hurt her left ankle.In order to keep her in a relatively elegant posture, Mu Li held Lan Ni's waist on her left side and lifted most of her body up.It looks like the two are walking very closely together, but in fact Lan Ni's feet hardly touch the ground, and they are all being carried by Mu Li.Her skirt is long, and people can't see her feet, they just think she is floating.
The gate of the mansion is very busy, many famous cars and luxury cars are gathered, and many well-dressed people are getting off the cars one after another and pouring into the banquet hall.
Walking through the long red carpet, Mu Li and Lan Ni have arrived at the gate of the banquet hall under the guidance of the waiter.At the main entrance, Sistine was wearing an expensive black tuxedo suit, standing at the door to welcome guests, with a socially polite smile on his face, he looked completely different from the proud and conceited him in the past.
Sistine's eyes were quickly attracted by Mu Li and Lan Ni.The smile on his face froze when he saw the two of them being so intimate.
Lanny, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.Sistine came up to him, looked at Lani and said, after finishing speaking, his eyes shifted to Mu Li's face, and he stared at her with a straight face.
Mu Li remained expressionless, unmoved.
Sistine's gaze moved to Mu Li's hand around Lani's waist again, which meant clearly that he was warning Mu Li to let go.
Major Sistine, Captain Shepherd is my companion tonight.It's really cold outside, can we go in? Lanny spoke, looking at Sistine with raised eyebrows.
Sistine gritted his teeth, and Mu Li clearly saw the veins bursting on his forehead.In the end he held back, turned sideways and asked:
come in.
Entering the main gate, one can see the curved stairs on both sides at a glance, and a double door in the center, resplendent and resplendent, with a lawful and neutral emblem—shield and scales—carved on the door.The Smith family is all in the lawful neutral camp, and they are also loyal believers in the Babel religion. They are proud of lawful neutrality, so they placed such ostentatious decorations at the entrance.
Mu Li took Lan Ni and took two steps inside, Lan Ni patted her and said softly:
Put me down and let me go.
Mu Li looked at her in surprise, and asked: Can you go?
can walk.Lanny's answer was curt.
Mu Li is depressed, you lied to me about your feelings again.She put down Lani, and she saw Lani stepping on high heels, walking gracefully towards the golden gate, and there was no way to see that her ankle was injured.Mu Li supported the saber at his waist, and followed step by step, with a devastated expression on his face.
A waiter asked Lanny to show the invitation.Lan Ni clicked on the bracelet id, called out the invitation letter, turned to look at Mu Li by the way, motioned to the waiter and said:
The latter is my partner.
Yes, Miss Freesman.The waiter said respectfully, then opened the door and invited Lan Ni and Mu Li to enter.
Behind the golden gate is the banquet hall, which is spacious and spacious, occupying almost the entire area of the first floor.As soon as you enter, you can hear melodious music flowing, and countless glamorous men and women are shuttling through the venue, chatting with each other while holding wine glasses.Laughing, toasting and interchanging, it was elegant and extravagant.
As soon as Mu Li came in, she felt uncomfortable all over, this kind of occasion was not the place for her to come, she didn't even know how to put her hands and feet now, she frowned with a bitter expression.
The arrival of the eldest lady obviously attracted the attention of most people in the venue. Her beautiful dress and strong aura exuded all over her body, all of which firmly caught the attention of others.Even though Mu Li came in with her, everyone automatically chose to ignore her.The audience was stunned and quiet for about two seconds before it became lively again.No one came forward to say hello to Lanny, and they still talked about themselves.It's just that the eyes glanced here from time to time, obviously paying attention to this place.
