269 Freedom or Death (1)
Although Tong Qingqing still looked nervous, she calmed down after hearing Ning Shi’s words.
When the two of them walked out of the shop, there was already an extended light flying car waiting at the entrance of the shop.
A young man around 25 years old was standing beside the car.
He was wearing a black uniform and white gloves. There were no signs of modification on his body. He looked like a complete human being which was extremely rare in Yuan City.
When he saw Ning Shi and Tong Qingqing come out, the young man bowed and said respectfully, “Miss, Mr. Ning, please get in the car. Mr. Tong is already waiting for you!”
After saying that, the young man made a gesture, and the back door of the flying car automatically opened.
Tong Qingqing lightly frowned and went in. Ning Shi followed suit.
The interior of the car was very luxurious. The seats were all made of the leather of radioactive creatures. The back seat was very spacious, and Ning Shi lay comfortably in the back seat.
“The flying car is about to start. Please sit tight.”
After the young driver reminded him, he started the flying car.
The flying car slowly floated up on the spot. After rising to a height of about five meters, it steadily drove toward the abyss.
It was Ning Shi’s first time riding a flying car, and he felt very good. He sat very steadily in the car and did not feel any discomfort.
He tilted his head and looked at Yuan City on both sides of the abyss through the window.
In the pitch-black abyss, he saw the brightly lit cities on both sides. There was a sea of neon lights, and a dense crowd was coming and going in the city.
This strange scene made Ning Shi sigh at the tenacity of humans.
Under the despairing and silent abyss, a bustling city could be built.
Tong Qingqing was already used to this scene, so there was no surprise in her eyes. She glanced at the driver in the driver’s seat, bit her lips, and said softly.
“My father is called Tong Baiming. He lives on the 7th floor of Yuan City’s Dongcheng Area. He is 30 years old this year and is the head of the Tong family in Yuan City. He is one of the most powerful people in Yuan City.
“His personality is more overbearing. When you see him later, don’t contradict him.
“If you’re in danger, I…”
Tong Qingqing looked at the mechanical dog at her feet and said in a low voice, “I’ll do my best to help you. After all, I’m the one who harmed you.”
Ning Shi felt Tong Qingqing’s sincerity, but he didn’t say anything and just nodded.
It was not convenient to say more under the monitoring of the mechanical dog.
When he was in the restaurant, he paid special attention to the conversations of the people around him and learned about the distribution of people in Yuan City.
The wealthier and more powerful the crowd, the deeper the level of the buildings they lived in.
Out of the 500,000 people in Yuan City, there were less than 1000 people who could live on the 7th floor.
One had to know that the area of each level of Yuan City was about the same.
Less than 1000 people were enjoying the living space of the entire floor. One could imagine how spacious and luxurious the living environment on the seventh floor was.
Those who could live on the seventh floor of Yuan City were all important figures in the city.
Ning Shi was not surprised by this. To be able to develop a helium heart and have the ability to experiment and put this project into practice, the power and wealth he wielded must not be small.
The flying car descended steadily. After reaching the seventh floor, it stopped in a huge parking lot.
The driver opened the car door and respectfully welcomed Ning Shi and Tong Qingqing out of the car.
“Please follow me!”
The driver walked to the front of an electronic door. After verifying his identity and password, the electronic door flashed and opened.
Behind the door was an elegant courtyard.
The courtyard was covered in green grass and flowers.
The flowerbeds were very neat, the plants were all of the same height, and the left and right sides of the lawn were also strictly symmetrical.
On one hand, Ning Shi was amazed by Tong Baiming’s wealth. One had to know that this place was more than a thousand meters underground. The cost of raising flowers and grass in such an environment was extremely high.
On the other hand, he was also complaining in his heart that Tong Baiming must be a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After passing through the long courtyard, they entered the main hall of the main building. A tall and thin man sat on the main seat of the hall.
The man had white curly hair and a handsome face. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and exuded the refined aura of a scholar.
According to what Tong Qingqing had mentioned before, this man was her father, Tong Baiming. He was just 30 years old, and he was probably born with white hair.
After the chauffeur brought the person to the car, he immediately bowed 90 degrees to Tong Baiming and left respectfully.
Tong Qingqing was also sitting on the second chair on the left side obediently. Her legs were close together, her hands were on her knees, and her back was straight.
Beside Tong Baiming, there was a butler with a straight body and a neat appearance. He carried a tray and placed two drinks on the small table between the two chairs.
Every step the butler took was extremely precise. The degree of his bow, the angle and length of his arm when he delivered the drinks were exactly the same.
On the table, the distance between the two cups was the same, and the capacity of the drinks in the cups was the same.
Everyone’s actions were orderly. In this manor, whether it was people, flowers, plants, or objects, everything was orderly.
Ning Shi felt Tong Baiming’s OCD, and he also felt the tyranny behind it.
Seeing Ning Shi come in, Tong Baiming just looked at him without saying a word.
Ning Shi sat down on the first chair on the left side. He was calm and did not speak.
This kind of show of power was useless against Ning Shi. Ning Shi used the Eye of Truth.
