Before walking into the Hippo Western Restaurant, Coriander was still singing empty city plans in her stomach, and when the waiter brought the steak, she had no appetite after eating two bites.

Looking at the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, the dazzling garnet on the ring was bright red and round, through the blood-colored brilliance, Cilantro felt a sense of uneasiness while being satisfied, and this uneasiness throbbed more and more intensely.

According to the general trend of the plot, the man gives the woman a gift before the mission, and the result is gone. Life is full of dog blood, and Coriander doesn't think that such a bloody plot will happen to her, but why is she so uneasy in her heart?

A chill struck her back, followed by a tingling sensation in the back of her neck, and the feeling of being close to creepiness came and went quickly, and when Cilantro's hand pressed the back of her neck, the feeling of fear that had enveloped her for a moment dissipated.

Cilantro tensed and set off an alarm in her head, her vigilant gaze shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but no suspicious person or sign was found. If it weren't for this sense of fear, which was so familiar to the unforgettable Cheng Dù, that she would almost have regarded the discomfort she felt just now as an illusion.

She had faced death head-on, all too familiar with the fear of dying and the cold killing intent from the enemy.

Fujihiko seems to be aware of this, as he has repeatedly fought to the death in underground rings, and has gradually developed an instinct to sense the threat and danger from the outside world.

Why do you suddenly feel this way?

He had to find out!

He looked up at his watch, and there were two and a half hours left before the press conference. He really wanted to spend a little more time with Cilantro, as if time didn't allow it.

The steak on Fujihikodo's plate didn't move much, he secretly tucked the dinner knife into his cuffs, and smiled at the coriander casually, "You eat first, I'll go out and come back soon." ”

Sometimes such words turn into parting words.

Cilanka almost got up and grabbed him, her uneasy eyes catching Fujihikodo's footsteps.

Fuji Yantang's eyes moved slightly, and the light that seemed to have clear waves in his eyes was sparkling and turbulent, and he wanted people to reach out and smooth it out.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." The more he tried to calm the anxiety in Cilantro's heart, the more his tone sounded like he was pretending to be relaxed.

Coriander's gaze followed his back until his figure was drowned in the crowded street, her stubborn gaze still fixed on the direction of his disappearance through the glass window.

The growing uneasiness almost engulfed her, gradually causing her physical discomfort. She felt her internal organs twitch, especially her stomach in a cramp.

She couldn't suppress the nausea, and half-knelt on the table and spit out all the bites of beef she had just eaten.

Seeing this, Ma Feng stepped forward and held her loose shoulders with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Jiang Yingxue also went over to express her concern, and when she saw that the coriander was colorless, her chest tightened, and she hurriedly went back and brought the cup of water on her table and handed it to the coriander.

"Don't eat such a raw steak next time."

Ma Feng picked up the fork in the hand of the coriander and poked the steak on her plate, "Medium-rare, not raw." ”

Coriander wiped her mouth with a napkin, and when she raised her eyes through the floor-to-ceiling window to see several people coming from the direction where Fujihiko had left, her face suddenly changed and became even paler than just now.

Among those people, the leader is Kong Zhiqiu.

Coriander lowered her head and urged the two people beside her urgently: "You guys go away!" ”

Sorachi Qiu also saw coriander through the floor-to-ceiling window of Guò Hippo Western Restaurant, obviously coming for her.

Ma Feng and Jiang Yingxue can't be with her, otherwise none of them will be able to leave after a while!

Jiang Yingxue returned to her position, and her pale face at this moment was no less than that of coriander. The fear of Sora Zhiqiu in her heart is deeper than anyone else's.

Ma Feng took the plate in front of the coriander, and when he passed by the door, he politely greeted Kong Zhiqiu and the others who took the lead in coming: "Mr. Kong Zhi, welcome." ”

Kong Zhiqiu's gaze fell directly on the coriander, and then gently swept towards Ma Feng, exchanged a few words with Ma Feng, and then strode towards the coriander with a smile.

Coriander sat cross-legged, without showing the proper etiquette, but with a happy attitude towards Kongzhiqiu.

"Yo, Qiusang, long time no see."

"It's been a while." Sorachiaki took his seat where Fujihiko had sit, and the two Japanese samurai who came with him stood guard behind him. He sat down and beckoned to the waiter not far away, "Please take it—"

"You don't have to." Cilana brought the leftover steak from Fujihikodo to herself, "Just give it to me." ”

The smile on the corner of Kong Zhiqiu's lips became a lot lighter, and he didn't investigate, obviously already knowing who was sitting in this position before him.

Seeing that the coriander was eating with relish, especially when his eyes touched the garnet ring on her left hand, the smile on Kong Zhiqiu's face almost disappeared completely. He decided not to care about these things, so he found an unrelated topic.

"Miss Lin, what have you been busy with lately? You said you wanted to invite me and my brother to tea, and my brother and I will be waiting for you. ”

Coriander patted her head and made a nerve-wracking look, and then said apologetically to Kong Zhiqiu: "I'm really sorry, I've been entangled in everything lately, and I'm too busy to spare time." Next month-next month, I will definitely find time to accompany Qiusang and Brother Ling. ”

"Well, then, don't break your word."

"Definitely not."

Kong Zhiqiu noticed the two suitcases next to him, "These two suitcases belong to Miss Lin?" ”

"Oh, my brother is going on a long trip, and I've got some things for him."

Kong Zhiqiu planted eyeliner next to Cilantro, and basically grasped her recent movements. Two days ago, Coriander went to the bank to exchange a large amount of foreign currency, and he also knew about it, and combined with what he saw today, he thought to himself that her brother must not be as simple as going on a long trip.

Coriander subconsciously wanted to hide the matter of coriander going abroad from Kong Zhiqiu, but in fact, she knew in her heart that she couldn't hide it, and there was no need to tell him so clearly.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the two Japanese samurai behind Kong Zhiqiu, and found that Yin He, who often followed him, was not among them, and she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart. "Qiusang, why don't you see that big warrior brother who often follows you today?"

"Did you say Yin He?"

"I don't remember his name, but I've played against him, and it's hard not to remember him. He's made me suffer a lot. Recalling that day in the alley with Yin He, the tiger's mouth on coriander's hands couldn't help but hurt.

Kong Zhiqiu chuckled, "Yin He was defeated by you, and he suffered no less than you." ”

"It was a fluke that I won him, and if I had to do it again, I wouldn't have been so lucky."

Sora Zhiqiu was noncommittal, and obviously agreed with Cilantro's words.

He took the menu from the waiter and ordered the same steak that Cilantro was eating now.

He didn't answer Coriander about Yin He's whereabouts from the front, and he was suspected of evading, which made Coriander even more concerned.

Coriander secretly made up her mind that she must find out the purpose of Sora's visit.

This afternoon, Su Qinghong will hold a news conference at the nearby Shengxiang Hotel to announce his succession as president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Kong Zhiqiu was dressed in casual clothes, obviously not for the afternoon press conference, but the reason why he came here must not be a coincidence, but Cilantro can be sure that this must have something to do with the press conference - at least Su Qinghong!

Coriander's heart was surging, but she didn't show her face, "Qiusang, how can you have the leisure to come out to eat Western food today?" ”

Kong Zhiqiu didn't answer and asked, "What about you?" ”

She thumped her leg and said, "This western restaurant is opened by a friend of mine, I walked around the street all morning today, and I came here after passing by." Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she looked at the Shengxiang Hotel diagonally opposite, "The old man of the Su family is going to hold a press conference there this afternoon, I just want to maybe have a good time." ”

Kong Zhiqiu took out a gold-plated pocket watch, opened the cover with one hand and looked at the time, "There are still more than two hours, why don't I accompany Miss Lin." ”

There was a hint of a naughty smile on the corners of the coriander's raised lips, but there was a little cold color in the clear apricot eyes, as if he could see through the darkness in people's hearts, "Qiusang is actually here to join in the fun." ”

Kong Zhiqiu was a little dazed, "Miss Lin, what do you mean by this?" Isn't it the same thing as watching the fun? ”

Coriander put the knife and fork in her hand on both sides, supported her chin with both hands, and told Kong Zhiqiu something with a cold smile on her face, "I think Qiu Sang may have heard that a few months ago, there were several arson cases in Yangcheng and Longcheng, all of which were committed by the same person. The arsonist did not run away after setting the fire, but stayed at the scene to witness the qiē he had created with the flames, deriving a sense of satisfaction from it. Qiusang, you look like that arsonist now, I don't know who you want to put this fire on. ”

Kong Zhiqiu's face changed, and he believed that even if he didn't say it, Cilantro knew his answer very well in his heart. He is like a mystical astrologer, with an unfathomable vision.

He clenched his hands into fists on the table, leaned over and leaned closer to the coriander, and said in a serious tone that was almost crazy: "Miss Lin, do you know, I have always felt that you are the embodiment of Lady Luck, you can bring luck to the people around you, I hope I can also have this honor-"

"Qiusang," leaning back in her chair, Cilantro chuckled silently, "You're looking too highly of me." ”

Kong Zhiqiu disagreed, "Do I think that's the case, it's better for Miss Lin to accompany me to confirm it." ”

Coriander heard what he meant, in fact, from the moment she saw Kong Zhiqiu, she knew that she couldn't get out of this hippo restaurant today. At least until the press conference is over, Kong Zhiqiu will not let her out.

Coriander wrapped her arms around her chest, and her fingers gently patted her arms. As the minutes ticked by, she seemed to be able to hear the ticking of the pocket watch that Sora Chiqiu had brought with her.

Just then, a sudden phone ringing.

Ma Feng, who had been paying attention to Coriander and Kong Zhiqiu, came back to his senses, and grabbed the non-stop phone on the counter sideways.

"Hello?"

The noise on the other end of the phone was very strict, and the voice was very clear, "Second brother......

Ma Feng's face was solemn, and he subconsciously turned his back to Kong Zhiqiu, and lowered his voice to report to Fuji Yantang on the other side of the phone: "Kong Zhiqiu is ...... in the store."

Before he could finish speaking, Fujihiko Tang interrupted him, "I saw it, you asked Cilantro to answer the phone." ”

Ma Feng knew that Fujihiko was in a phone booth not far from the Hippo Western Restaurant. He turned around and raised the telephone in his hand and shouted to Coriander, "Cilantro, looking for you—"

Coriander got up and smiled at Kong Zhiqiu, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." ”

Kong Zhiqiu's face tightened, and it seemed that she was reluctant to let Cilantro leave her seat, but after thinking about it, Coriander had already guessed that he was going to take this opportunity to Su Qinghong's disadvantage, even if she wanted to report to someone, but she didn't know his full plan, so it would be useless.

Soon, Kong Zhiqiu was relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

Coriander went to the counter to answer the phone, and as soon as she heard that the call was from Fujihikodo, and heard the noisy voice on the phone, she probably knew where he was.

Fujihikodo was weird: "Did you have a good time chatting with that Japanese?" ”

"Now is not the time to be jealous." In order to prevent Kong Zhiqiu from noticing, Coriander kept controlling the expression on her face, "When you were in the restaurant with me, he noticed us." You're feeling right this time, he's going to do something this afternoon. The guy was very tight-mouthed, and I couldn't ask about his plans, but I could feel that he was confident. And I'm trapped by him, and I can't go out and help you. ”

Listening to what Coriander said so much in one breath, Fujihiko couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to her. He clutched the telephone hanging in the phone booth with one hand, and the hand holding the microphone did not dare to use force, for fear that once he used force, the microphone would be crushed.

His voice was gloomy, "He didn't embarrass you, did he?" ”

"Nope." Coriander changed the subject forcefully, "Isn't it a little tricky over there?" ”

Fujihiko wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw that Sora Chiqiu seemed to be a little unable to sit still through the glass window of the telephone booth and the floor-to-ceiling window of the Western restaurant, so he made a long story short: "I found several sniper points outside, and the snipers hiding in the shadows all used Springfield rifles, and the muzzles of the guns were not aimed at the direction of the Shengxiang Hotel, but at the innocent citizens on the street-"

Coriander took a deep breath and listened to Fujihiko say again:

"I think Kong Zhiqiu's plan may be to shoot innocent citizens, create chaos and sabotage the press conference, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack Su Qinghong." Fujihikodo's voice became muffled again and again, "I haven't figured out how many sniper points there are outside. ”

If he knew how many sniper points Sorachiaki had set up outside, Fujihiko was confident that he would have a way to take them all together in one go. However, before he found out how many sniper points there were, he didn't dare to do it lightly, for fear that he would startle the snake and end up injuring innocent citizens. (To be continued.) )
