Marvel's Outlaws

Chapter 162 Battle against Captain America 5

"What happened ahead?"

"It seems there was a car accident. There is a severe traffic jam at the viaduct entrance."

Sitting in the corner of the back row, I heard the chatter among the crowd. Xiao Lan, who was writing a program, stopped what he was doing and looked around at the road conditions.

All the vehicles on the road ahead stopped and formed a long queue. Most of the pedestrians and drivers got off the bus to take a look at the situation. The bus had been parked for fifteen minutes, motionless as if it had broken down. After this time, some passengers who went down to watch the excitement came back and roughly knew what happened.

"Who's in trouble?"

"It seemed like a little girl? There was also a kind-hearted person who went to beg for help, but they were both rolled under the car."

"do you died?"

"What do you think? The girl's mother was making trouble there. The police blocked the road and there were a lot of people. We had to wait until the traffic police came to clear the road."

Xiao Lan looked at the time prediction. If she kept waiting, it would take at least a long time to leave. And she didn't have much time. The passenger plane would not delay takeoff specifically for her. She simply asked the driver to get off, walked back, and found another way to take a taxi to the airport. Even when we reached a smooth road and found a taxi, the taxi driver explained that in this area we had to cross a bridge to reach the airport. In other words, this bridge is the only way to go from this area to the airport.

In desperation, Xiao Lan could only take one step at a time, cross the bridge on foot and then take a ride. But the bridge was 5 kilometers long, and there were so many onlookers that it took more than 20 minutes to walk. It took another ten minutes to take a bus to the airport, but she was still late.

Sun Dongquan had many friends to see him off at the airport, most of whom were very close friends, and everyone sent their blessings one after another. By the time he realized that Xiao Lan hadn't arrived yet, it was already boarding time. Sun Dongquan also considered traffic jams and other accidents, so he sent a message to Xiao Lan, saying that he was ready to board the plane and there was no need to come.

When Xiao Lan hurried to the airport, Sun Dongquan's passenger plane had just taken off, and she didn't see Sun Dongquan. Xiao Lan wore heavy winter clothes and ran all the way with her computer. Her head was covered in sweat and she couldn't breathe. She didn't even see her during the last meeting, so what else is there to say? Xiao Lan found a place to do it, held his forehead, frowned and smiled helplessly.

Has her mission failed?

Xiao Lan clicked on the system interface. The only option to submit a task was not lit yet. Her task was neither completed nor failed. The mission period may be extended. In other words, she still has a chance. Moreover, Zhong Nianhui contacted Sun Dongquan when he went to the United States. It would not be too late to wait until the next meeting. Xiao Lan didn't want to complete the task so quickly. She had something she wanted to do, and it would be better if she could delay it as long as possible.

What she didn't know was that the next meeting would be ten years late...

A lot has happened in ten years. One month after Zhong Nian and Sun Dongquan left, Ye Yukai also transferred to another school. He agreed to Ye's father's proposal to go to Japan for treatment. From then on, Xiao Lan had no contact with him anymore.

Zhong Nian lived a good life after arriving in the United States. He lived in a villa area and was taught by a dedicated painting teacher. Finally, he was admitted to a famous art academy in New York. After Zhao Qian brought Zhong Nian to the United States, she kept her promise and immediately remitted the money. The amount of money was astonishing, enough to cover all Xiao Lan's college expenses.

When Sun Dongquan went to the United States, Xiao Lan could occasionally see his recent progress on social networking sites. Photos of Sun Dongquan and his girlfriend occasionally appeared, and there were minor conflicts, but the relationship between the two was still very good and they had been dating for three years. However, they broke up peacefully later. A year later, Sun Dongquan's girlfriend changed to a Chinese. A top student is still a top student when he goes abroad. After finishing college, Sun Dongquan directly continued his Ph.D. studies abroad and had his own laboratory.

Father Zhong didn't contact Xiao Lan again after that phone call, and Xiao Lan didn't change his phone number specifically for him. If the other party doesn't come to her, she will be happy and at ease. At the beginning after Father Zhong came out, Xiao Lan occasionally found people lingering in front of his house, and once accidentally saw Father Zhong's back. After he was released from prison, he kept his promise not to disturb him and found a job to support himself. In the end, he discovered that Xiao Lan could indeed live independently very well, and he no longer appeared in her sight.

Xiao Lan successfully passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a famous university in the capital. Although it was not a top university, it was still ranked among the top ten universities in the country. She showed her love for computer programs in high school, so she directly applied for relevant majors in this school and graduated with the top score in the school. She rejected a Fortune 500 company and instead entered a small company with a high position. She invested the money she earned in college into shares and became a member of the shareholder meeting. This company is engaged in the e-commerce industry. Xiao Lan led the studio and spent half a year to sort out the first model. As a shareholder and a senior executive, she has a great say.

Finally, within 6 years, the company took advantage of the trend, attracted a large amount of domestic and foreign investment funds, and entered the world's top at an astonishing speed. There is a lot of room for growth in the e-commerce field, and the company was successfully listed in the United States.

As a witness to the company's listing in the United States, Xiao Lan went to the New York Stock Exchange to be listed. In the US news, Xiao Lan's company set a record for the longest time since the opening of trading for a US listed company due to its huge trading volume. As the backbone of the company, she refused the bell-ringing ceremony and, as a member of the public, witnessed this exciting moment.

The bell rang, and countless ribbons were sprinkled from high places. Under the dazzling lights, this ribbon rain was extremely beautiful.

Xiao Lan is now 28. Working in front of the computer all year round makes her look much older and more mature than people of the same age. She was wearing high heels, her tall figure hidden in the crowd, a black professional skirt, heavy makeup and red lips, short hair, and proud eyes. The wisdom contained in those eyes concealed her life experience. No one can know her inner thoughts. Her amazing smile is like a flash in the pan, fleeting, lonely and beautiful.

In the seemingly noisy environment, she applauded alone as the bell rang, and the loud applause resounded throughout the entire exchange. In such a lively environment, Xiao Lan quietly left alone.

At the moment when the bell rang, I felt lost.

She took a taxi to the New York Art School not far from here. That was the university where Zhong Nian attended. Even after graduation, Zhong Nian's hard work was still there. He stayed there and became a professional teacher. Zhong Nian is engaged in the art career he loves. His famous representative paintings can be sold for US$5 million and are included in art textbooks. Many of his paintings are collected by American contemporary art museums.

After Xiao Lan arrived at the Academy of Fine Arts, Zhong Nian was already waiting there. Zhong Nian had lived in the United States for a long time and was deeply influenced by the passionate American culture. As soon as he saw Xiao Lan, he rushed up to her and hugged her tightly. His enthusiasm made Xiao Lan stunned for a moment, but she quickly responded to him, smiling and patting him on the back.

The hug ended quickly, and Zhong Nian smiled and said, "Sister, long time no see."

Xiao Lan looked at Zhong Nian, who used to be a head shorter than her, but now he was a head taller than her. The thin figure has disappeared. He is tall and handsome, dressed cleanly and neatly. His short hair is tied into a braid at the back. He is wearing a modern adapted Chinese tunic suit, which is full of artistic flavor.

"Oh my God! Is that Teacher Jason?" The girl saw Zhong Nian and Xiao Lan at the door.

"Is that girl her girlfriend? The relationship is not simple. They seem to be a good match."

Zhong Nian knew that his identity would attract onlookers, so he went to pick up the car and took Xiao Lan to the place where he lived, where he specially cooked to prepare dinner. When he was in college, Zhong Nian had already moved out of Zhao Qian's house and made his own money to buy a house near the school.

The two siblings, who had not seen each other for a long time, no longer felt alienated after a meal. Zhong Nian also knew that his sister stopped by to see him because the company was listed. In his heart, Xiao Lan had always been much better than him.

Although he is developing in the United States, he returns to China for about a week every year to reunite with Xiao Lan. It is difficult for Xiao Lan to come to him.

While chatting casually, Zhong Nian talked about Ye Yukai.

"That guy Ye Yukai originally wanted to come, but because he is getting married tomorrow, he can't get away."

"By the way, he also gave me an invitation letter to pass on to you. It seems to be tomorrow evening." Zhong Nian rummaged through the two invitations he had received before and handed one to Xiao Lan.

"Ye Yukai...it's been ten years since we last met." Ten years is enough to forget an ordinary friend. If it weren't for Zhong Nianti, she might have forgotten this task target.

After passing the college entrance examination, her life belongs entirely to her, not to Zhong Ming, but to Xiao Lan.

Immersed in the career I love, I gradually forget that this is a world of tasks and the original purpose. Sun Dongquan would still pay attention at first, but then she gradually became busy, and she didn't even have time to go to social networking sites. Her work and life were reversed day and night, taking up everything in her life. After taking off her makeup, you can see her dark circles and dark complexion accumulated from staying up all night.

There was no time limit on the task, so she ignored it and kept going.

Thinking of the person "Sun Dongquan", she remembered that she was now living Zhong Ming's life and wanted to help her fulfill her wish.

Only then did she remember that she was not Zhong Ming, but a person who completed the task for Zhong Ming.

The first task is too easy. Because many interns are immersed in such a comfortable life, they forget where they come from, what they are here to do, and that they are just outsiders helping others fulfill their wishes.

Po Meng deviated from the mission, stole the life of the mission target, fell in love with the people in the mission world, and squandered other people's lives at will... There are so many such examples that the system does not even count them, and their completion data is directly destroyed. deal with.

The more Xiao Lan thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

She finally knew that the only danger in her career as a Meng Po was that she was addicted to the world and could not extricate herself.

After thinking deeply, Xiao Lan picked up the red wine and took a sip to relieve the dryness of his throat. He seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "I will go tomorrow night..." to end all this and treat it as "a dream".

Now she is very satisfied. Her company can continue well and she is no longer needed. The career I love has come to an end with today's listing, and it would be unsightly to stay any longer. Zhong Ming's life does not belong to her, and it never has.

None of this belongs to her.
