Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 189 Who? Who’s Gone?!

God knows how anxious Lao Luo was in the past 24 hours.

The disappearance of Ximen Lang and Bai Ling was like gouging two huge holes in his heart.

Even though we knew that Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were most likely to have gone to the mortal world, we would never be able to find them even if we turned the world of Sijiu City upside down.

Lao Luo immediately mobilized all the available forces and searched all over the world.

As soon as she heard that the person had returned, Bai Ling immediately came to the Special Operations Detachment to report the situation to herself.

Old Luo, who was eagerly waiting, and Director Wang, who was getting anxious, wished they could run several miles to meet him, so they went straight to the intersection and waited.

Because Bai Ling's beloved U8 had been sent to the steel mill where the two were the moment she learned that they appeared at the steel mill.

But after a while, Lao Luo, who had been waiting anxiously and had never been as anxious as he was now, went straight to meet him.

"Thank God, thank God! You're finally back! I can finally put my heart at ease!"

Of course, Director Wang, who had dinner with Ximen Lang and Bai Ling yesterday, was as worried and even tormented as Lao Luo.

Although Ximen Lang and Bai Ling both disappeared, no one blamed Director Wang for the incident.

Even Lao Luo didn't say a single word of objection to Director Wang, not even a single harsh word.

But all this was caused by myself!

If I hadn't insisted on dragging Ximen Lang out for a drink, how could things have turned out like this?
Fortunately, the person finally came back, otherwise, Director Wang, who has a strong sense of responsibility, would have died of guilt.

This can be seen from the fact that he couldn't help but burst into tears and looked haggard just by seeing Bai Ling.

So, when Bai Ling saw Lao Luo and Director Wang appear in front of her in such an attitude, she was completely confused and couldn't understand how they became like this.

I was flattered by their excessive enthusiasm.

There was even a point where I couldn't bear it.

Before Director Wang could hold her hand with tears in his eyes, Bai Ling spoke first.

"Stop! If you have anything to say, go back to the office. This is not the place to talk!"

On the grounds that this was not the place to talk, he immediately stopped the two from being overly enthusiastic.

After picking up Director Wang and Lao Luo, the three of them went directly to the command center's office under the escort of a group of people.

Then, Bai Ling didn't say anything, and Lao Luo and Director Wang didn't feel comfortable speaking either.

After Bai Ling sorted out all the chaotic thoughts in her head, she finally spoke.

"Just as you thought, I was brought to the human world by Ximen Lang, and spent a day there that I will never forget."

Lao Luo and Director Wang's pupils shrank after hearing this, and then they couldn't stop getting excited.

"Look, what did I say? What did I say? I said they went over there. Sure enough, my guess was right!"

I was just about to ask Bai Ling about the situation over there.

Knowing that they must want to know this, Bai Ling carefully considered her words and spoke again.

"It's a prosperous place, a fertile land, that I wouldn't have dared to imagine if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. It's truly difficult for me to describe the overall situation there in simple terms."

"It's like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, or Li Hongzhang's visit to the United States in 1886. It's even more shocking than either! If I had to describe it in one simple sentence, it would be... invincible!" he added.
"Even more exaggerated than the Russians today, and even more powerful and invincible."

Director Wang and Lao Luo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then, Bai Ling gave her account orally, Director Wang took notes, and Lao Luo made the final check.

In great detail, Bai Ling directly told Lao Luo and Director Wang everything she heard and saw in the later life, without missing a word.

Of course, there are all kinds of surprises in the process.

For example, the astronomical GDP, the unparalleled army, and the various top-level equipment
Even the various household appliances and even the small smart speaker made Director Wang and Lao Luo feel unbelievable. They couldn't help but marvel at them and praise them repeatedly.

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can't help but feel happy for it, just like Bai Ling did when she first saw it. I even feel proud of it because I can empathize with it.

After Lao Luo and Director Wang's excitement had calmed down a little, Bai Ling finally talked about the biggest thing she saw and heard during this trip to the future, which was like a bolt from the blue.

"Don't be afraid or excited about what I'm about to say."

Seeing that Bai Ling was so serious, Lao Luo and Director Wang looked at each other.

Then, they said in unison with a determined look.

"Don't worry, we're all seasoned professionals. We're not afraid of anything you're going to say next. Just say it."

"Okay, I'll be straight to the point. The old Russian is gone."

"Hey, you scared me. I thought you were going to say something, but it turns out it's just that the old man is gone. Wait, who did you say was gone?!"

Just when Bai Ling, Lao Luo and others were making an urgent report, Ximen Lang was in a very unstable mood because Bai Ling had specifically told them before leaving.

You must not do anything that may cause him to misunderstand or feel unhappy at this critical juncture.

When he is unable to take care of his own affairs, it is best to have a like-minded friend who can accompany him, go along with him, and if possible, give him advice and guidance.

The result was of course no surprise. As soon as the words "birds of a feather flock together" came out, everyone present looked at Ximen Lang's elder brother Li, Li Huaide, in tacit understanding.

Bai Ling, Hao Pingchuan, together with the four great warriors Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han, the votes directly reached 6 to 1.

Even Secretary Nie, the only person who knew about the steel mill besides them, who rarely expressed his opinions casually, patted Li Huaide on the shoulder and said something.

"Xiao Li, this candidate must be you."

It immediately became the hope of the whole village!

In this situation, even if Li Huaide wanted to argue that he was not the kind of person they imagined, he had to be!

In addition, he also wanted to have more contact with Ximen Lang, so Li Huaide took the task immediately and stayed by Ximen Lang's side.

The reason why he used the word "stake out" was because he didn't want to make it too deliberate.

Especially at this special time when Ximen Lang is extremely sensitive.

Ximen Lang, who had been waiting until he had no interest in playing games anymore, suddenly felt like going out for a walk.

Li Huaide decisively went forward and joked with Ximen Lang in a slightly complaining tone.

"My dear brother, you finally came out of your comfort zone to look at me."
