Chapter 20: Friendly Forces

For He Manzhou's initial aggressiveness, Bai Yi never moved the real fire, and when he saw her put on a dog-legged and enthusiastic appearance, Bai was not surprised, and he didn't even give a smile, still holding that cold face, looking like a businessman.

"The two ancient paintings are the clues to find the first coordinates, the one left by He Sheng should be in your hands, bring the "Ancient Map of Shantao Words" to see me tomorrow, I will take out another painting and find a way to confirm the destination. ”

"Confirm the coordinates, and then?" He Manzhou asked in a daze.

"Go to Dock City. Bai Yicong said.

"What, what......" He Manzhou stuttered a little, the plot was developing too fast, and she didn't follow the script at all, and her brain circuits couldn't keep up, "Go to Wucheng, are the two of us?"

"What," Bai Yicong raised his eyebrows, "Have any objections to my arrangement?"

He Manzhou felt that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to speak, so he shook his head.

"It's best if you have no objections, leave me a contact information," Bai Yicong took out a business card from his pocket, casually clipped it to the title page of the codex, handed it back to He Manzhou, and said in a summary manner, "I'll send you the address." ”

He Manzhou mechanically took the notebook, took out his mobile phone and dialed it according to the number on the business card. She saw that Bai Yicong's mobile phone rang a few times and was hung up, his slender hand was distinctly jointed, and he pressed a few times on the keyboard at random, and quickly typed a string of words.

At the same time that Bai Yicong pressed the lock screen button, He Manzhou's mobile phone in the pocket of his cashmere coat shook a few times, and he didn't need to look at it to know that he had received the address sent by Bai Yicong.

"Tomorrow at ten o'clock, come on time, I don't like to wait for people. ”

After saying this, Bai Yicong poured out the little tea base left in the teacup and silently said goodbye. He Manzhou sat in place stunned, didn't speak for a long time, and didn't mean to move the place.

Bai Yicong squinted slightly, and his gaze swept lightly over He Manzhou's face.

"Anything else?"

Facing that cold gaze, He Manzhou was a little stunned, and quickly shook his head.

"It's okay, you can go. ”

As if she hadn't heard, the girl sat on the couch and refused to get up.

Her fingers were twisted around the corners of her clothes, and her knuckles were a little blue because she was trying too hard, and the small movements had completely betrayed her mind. But her face is capitalized with four big characters - unwilling to admit defeat, stubbornly tougher and pretending to be a row, but she didn't know that she didn't put any pressure on the other side successfully, just a little more cute and fierce.

Seeing He Manzhou's appearance, Bai Yicong felt a little funny.

This girl simply can't hide her emotions, her joys, sorrows and sorrows are so straight to express, when she is happy, she can't hide her smile from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and when she is angry, she can't wait for the whole person to turn into a dynamite bag, every word and deed is with the arrogance and wanton of no one else, and she is constantly added by her own rich brain supplement, so that the whole body is full of drama.

Just looking at the cold look at the horizontal eyebrows, it was as if she didn't think about the consequences at all, but afterwards she began to regret it with a sad face, and she wished that she was the one who had eaten those dementia speeches a few minutes ago.

What a contradiction.

Bai Yixian has seen too many delicate actors, egoists with hypocritical masks, rotten souls disguised with powdered jade skins and impeccable elegance. Those people are dressed in gorgeous new clothes, and they float around Vanity Fair like marionettes, knowing that it is all a bubble of nothingness, but they are still addicted to it.

All their acting skills are for disguise, and the words in their mouths are hypnotic bewitching, and every sentence is a sharp blade wrapped in honey, with a hypocritical peace. Money and profit are the thin threads that tear at their limbs, nailing their bodies to the cross of power, and there is no room for any slip-ups at every step, otherwise they will fall into the abyss from which they will never recover.

Bai Yixian has seen the beastly desire under the cover of blood and family affection, the manipulation and control in the name of "care", the sincerity of fragmentation and the perfection wrapped in illusion.

He has long been accustomed to evil, and he is tired of psychological competition.

But I didn't expect to meet a failing actor like He Manzhou one day, this kind of self-care performance without considering the audience at all, when facing a stranger, he dared to deliver his hole cards like this. So much so that Bai Yicong didn't know for a moment whether to feel that He Manzhou was too sincere and too direct, or whether to say that she was like a child who had not grown up, and her words and deeds were innocent that she should not have.

Like now—

In the short confrontation, Bai Yicong touched He Manzhou's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and of course he could see that Miss He finally realized that something was wrong, and successfully deviated from the direction completely, and began to scare herself.

How can anyone just feel how valuable cooperation is, and turn his head to put doubts on his face, even if he really thinks that others are unreliable, the face project should be done well, right?

Thinking like this, Bai Yi rarely came to a little interested.

He didn't invite He Manzhou out directly, but opened his mouth uncharacteristically, although this sentence was a question, he directly used an affirmative tone, as if he was sure of something.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Who is afraid of you?" He Manzhou rolled his eyes and went back without thinking about it.

But no matter how much she refuses to admit defeat, she can't stop her from panicking.

Where has Miss He experienced such a level of business negotiation, under the suppression of "we don't dare to say, we don't dare to ask", her essence of drama was exposed, and she began to add drama in her mind uncontrollably, analyzing Boss Bai's mental process.

What is the number of this Bai Yicong?

There must be a demon when things backfire, and he is not charitable, how could he suddenly be so kind.

For today's negotiation, He Manzhou's best expectation is to get to the bottom of the object of suspicion, and if he can meet Bai Yicong smoothly, it can be regarded as a perfect realization of the plan. Take a million steps back, if she really loses in Miss Manners's level and doesn't see the main owner at all, she can accept it completely, and choose to change her path and fight again in the future.

After preparing for the worst, Bai Yicong suddenly made such a move, who can bear it?

Adhering to the view that there is no good in the world for no reason, Bai Yicong's behavior is in He Manzhou's eyes, which is a capital human confusion, and it quickly rose to the level of not being well-intentioned.

Is it robbery or robbery, murder or overseating?

It's not like you want to make some indescribable deal, or use unspeakable means to just snatch the painting from our house...... So for a few seconds of silence, He Manzhou was completely frightened by his own brain.

"I'm with you, me, you and my dad were a cooperative relationship back then......"

"So what?" Bai Yicong asked with amusement.

"So everyone be polite, let's have one thing to say, don't engage in those crooked ways, you know?" He Manzhou's beautiful big eyes blinked, and the long eyelashes that drooped down covered her emotions, but her thoughtful tone exposed her thoughts.

"It's no problem for me to find you tomorrow, and the "Ancient Picture of Shantao Words" can also be brought to you, but you have to say it in advance, we are a simple cooperative relationship, you don't have other ideas, let alone other attempts......"

"What do you think I'm trying to do?"

He Manzhou was only halfway through his words before he was interrupted by Bai Yicong, she was speechless for a while, and it was not good to say her malicious speculation about others. Bai Yicong seemed to have mastered the art of mind reading, and lightly "relieved" her and completed the second half of the sentence.

"Don't worry, you're not my type. ”

"I mean......"

"And you're too stupid," Bai Yicong paused in his tone and added mercilessly, "there's no need to calculate at all." ”

He Manzhou: "......."

Listen, is this human talk, are you explaining, or are you looking for a fight?

*******

When he came out of Baiyulou, Dong Nan carried out the meticulousness of the special assistant to the extreme.

He not only took the initiative to hand over the business card, and asked He Manzhou to call directly next time he came over, and even personally sent people to the door, and his gestures were like receiving important guests. If it weren't for He Manzhou's repeated statement that Bai Yulou was not far from the Tianwentang Museum, and it would be less than ten minutes away, Dong Nan would have even called a car for her.

On the way back, He Manzhou kept thinking about today's strange experience.

It's incredible today.

She originally thought that she would eat behind closed doors, and no matter how bad she was, she would have to break into the tiger's den in Longtan to fight wits and courage, but from Bai Yi's overly cooperative attitude to Dong Nan's extraordinary enthusiasm, they were all very different from He Manzhou's expectations.

This is like He Manzhou deciding to be a lonely hero, going to the meeting alone after doing half a cup of Lao Baigan, and doing a good job in this Hongmen banquet is more auspicious and less auspicious, and if you don't want to go, you will be prepared to go and have no return. She held a machine gun with the safety open in her hand, and a bag of explosives with super firepower pinned to her waist, but if she felt that the situation was wrong, she would die together, and no one would want to run.

But when I arrived at the banquet hall, I found that people didn't mean this at all.

The other side not only regarded this as a Hongmen banquet, but also greeted them with flowers and champagne, and talked with kind words. At the beginning of the fireworks show, luxury cars and beauties picked up, and after three rounds of drinking, they thoughtfully asked if they needed to add any side dishes. In the end, in order to show friendship, I even made a customer questionnaire and made an appointment for the next banquet.

What, the whole rhythm has been disrupted.

For a moment, the lone hero was completely dizzy, and he couldn't tell that this was a sugar-coated cannonball carefully prepared by the enemy, a demagogic trick that lacked morality, or that he had made the mistake of the blame from the beginning.

- Is it really an ally to protect Qi Bai and to be a friend?

If it weren't for He Manzhou's few thinking skills, she would almost suspect that the pages torn off in Lao He's notes were actually debts, and Bai Yi secretly showed favor from this openly, whether he owed a debt to be repaid. Then she came to a reasonable conclusion that Bai Yicong is indeed very good-looking from this person, but it is useless to be good-looking, and it is not easy to use his brain.

At that time, He Manzhou didn't know, she did guess a little roughly.

But the truth is far more cruel than she imagined.
