Chapter 618 Promise
Cheng Ling greeted him: "Have you sent the guests off?"
Jiang Qilan took her hand, bent down and kissed the back of her hand: "Yes, I kept you waiting. Come on, I will take you to visit my vineyard, and let you taste the wine brewed by our manor. Red wine. But the vineyard is a bit far from here. Can you ride there with me?"
"Ah, but I can't ride a horse." Cheng Ling, who once won the title of England's gold medal equestrian, said.
"It's okay, I'll take you."
Jiang Qilan brought a snow-white horse from the stable. After putting on the bridle and saddle, he held Cheng Ling's waist and easily carried her onto the horse. Finally, he turned over, sat on the horse neatly, and hugged her. He held Cheng Ling and the horse's reins.
The horse galloped for a mile before Jiang Qilan slowed down and let the horse pace in the direction of the vineyard.
Here, they finally had a chance to talk properly without being monitored.
Jiang Qilan told Cheng Ling all the details of his meeting with Lucian.
After listening, Cheng Ling was very happy: "So, not only did you reach a cooperation agreement, but you also learned that the radical laboratory is on a certain leprosy island?"
Jiang Qilan said solemnly: "Yes. There should be no need for him to tell lies."
Cheng Ling immediately searched her mind for all the information she knew about the Leprosy Islands - although the number of Leprosy Islands in the world is very large and it is impossible to pinpoint which continent or ocean they are located in, this has greatly narrowed the scope, and there are still search methods direction.
——The human cleansing plan is too targeted at the yellow race.
If they really develop a virus that can cause lasting harm to the body, it will be an unimaginable disaster for China.
China's current stage is a stage of take-off. What is needed is the accumulation of materials, the development of technology, and the steady supply of medical care——
China has a large population and its current medical level is not very high - if an epidemic infectious disease breaks out, it will cause incalculable losses.
Cheng Ling was thinking about how to further narrow the scope when he heard Jiang Qilan ask with a slightly bitter voice: "So, when do you plan to leave?"
Cheng Ling suddenly became disappointed when he heard Jiang Qilan's voice.
So, she nestled into Jiang Qilan's arms.
After a while, she said softly: "Brother Lan, I'm leaving tomorrow."
So fast?
"Aren't you going to give Amos a birthday gift?" Jiang Qilan's arm holding the horse's reins tightened instantly, "I thought you would not leave until at least his birthday..."
"Originally, this was my plan -" Cheng Ling used the top of her head to rub Jiang Qilan's chin. She could feel the stiffness of Jiang Qilan's body.
She continued: "But now that we know that the experiment is still going on and we know the direction to find the laboratory, we can't just sit back and wait - who knows what terrible viruses they will come up with? We have to race against time. ”
"——Furthermore, I don’t need to deliver the big gift to Amos in person——although I really want to be there to appreciate his expression when he sees the gift..."
"Besides, I will come back as soon as possible. After all, my current identity is Fang Wenjian's mistress——"
Jiang Qilan couldn't explain why he had a very bad feeling.
He knew the urgency of time, and also knew that Cheng Ling had to leave as soon as possible to pass on the information.
But he was inexplicably very uneasy.
Jiang Qilan put his chin on her shoulder, leaned into her ear and asked, "How long will it take for you to come back?"
"A month at most."
"Say what you say?"
"It's hard to chase a horse!" Cheng Ling replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Lan, I don't dare to say anything else, but I am a man of my word. I have never broken my promise to anyone -"
Jiang Qilan blocked her mouth with the back of his hand and interrupted her: "Shh--don't talk."
"Brother Lan, when did you become such a superstitious person?" Cheng Ling teased him.
"I just... hate waiting." Jiang Qilan said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm just being willful. You don't need to pay attention."
Only then did Cheng Ling think of Father Jiang and Ji Chengyue.
In Jiang Qilan's memory, his father has been waiting for his mother. I have been waiting for more than twenty years.
Therefore, Jiang Qilan must hate waiting very much.
Cheng Ling held Jiang Qilan's hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will never let you wait too long."
However, there are no absolutes in this world.
