The wind blew against the glass windows, and the window frames were shaken.

Leaning out of the window, you can see rows of high-rise buildings in front of you, and a dense crowd of pedestrians and vehicles under your eyes.

Lei Ming was on crutches in one hand and grasping the windowsill in the other, his eyes were like torches, and he carefully searched the window, without any clues. He frowned, the wind-swept curtains tickling gently on his cheeks. Lei Ming's hand on the windowsill gradually clenched into a fist, gritted his teeth, and straightened up.

He was expressionless all the time, regardless of whether there was someone outside the window or not, Lei Ming closed the window and locked it from the inside.

It can only be opened from the inside, and even if there are people outside, they can only watch the wall blow into jerky.

Lei Ming turned around indifferently and left without saying a word. There was a dead silence in the room, as if nothing had happened.

And the black shadow hiding in the corner of the wall used the corner wall as a cover, and Lei Ming didn't notice him at all. The black shadow finally took a deep breath, even if he had avoided Lei Ming, the biggest problem now was how he could get out of the seventeenth floor. He had to call his buddies to help.

An hour later, the outskirts could no longer be deserted, Monte Manor.

The black business car roared in, crushing all the ice slag in the wind and rain, and the tires creaked all the way, and finally stopped safely outside the gate of the manor.

The butler immediately stepped forward and opened the car door, and the black shadow got out of the car, straightened his collar, and strode in.

It's a French manor house and it's a winery. Although the weeds on the roadside of the manor, the cracked and mottled walls, and the withered creepers that unscrupulously climb the window frames, all show that this place is very old and dilapidated, but it cannot hide the prosperity of this place in the slightest. So delicate that a doorknob is carved with flawless birds and animals, and the jewels inlaid on it have been deducted, but the traces left behind can't help but make people reverie the story that once happened here.

Not far away, a large stretch of land used to be a grape trellis. The wines from Château Monte are fresh grapes harvested from these trellises. The owners of the estate are very proud of the fact that when it comes to the wines produced at Monte Estate, everyone will give them a thumbs up and a good reputation. It's just that no one has taken care of it over the years, and this place has been abandoned early.

Quinn sat in front of the window, just in time for a panoramic view of the wasteland, and could see that there had been a fire here, and the land was all traces of burning, and it had not been restored until now. He played with the long whip in his hand expressionlessly, and there was not the slightest wave of emotion in his indifferent eyes.

On the cabinet to his left are several old yellowed photographs, many in black and white. The people in the photo can't tell the difference in appearance, but they can also roughly see that the people living in this manor are a big family, and the family is happy.

Happiness knows no bounds

Quinn glanced at the photo frames on the table, and suddenly snorted coldly, raised his long whip in his hand, and with a snap, all the vertical photo frames on the table fell to the ground with a bang. The servant who was waiting on the side trembled with fright, and did not dare to step forward, until the black shadow walked in.

"The owner." The dark shadow stood respectfully outside the door.

Quinn raised his jaw, put away his long whip, and roared, "Stand down"

Only then did the servants in the room quickly shrink back and retreat, and the black shadow strode in and closed the door.

"What you were asked to fetch was retrieved," Quinn still buried himself in tweaking his whip.

The black shadow replied, "Yes, the owner, before Lei Ming found out, the things had already been destroyed. ”

"So, you've met him"

The black shadow was concise and to the point, and ordered him to turn back to the ward, retrieve the things that Quinn accidentally left behind, and then told Quinn everything that happened to Lei Ming in the ward. Quinn didn't say a word, just played with the long whip in his hand.

"Meticulous observation, I'm an opponent, and I still haven't lost my face."

"But he didn't notice me in the end, and I wasn't as good as we thought."

"Don't belittle the enemy, how do you know, he didn't mean to let you go," Quinn looked up meaningfully.

The black shadow was stunned for a moment, he didn't take this into account at all, "But if this is really the case, there is no need for him to let me go, wouldn't it be more beneficial for him to catch me directly, what is the point of him doing this?"

Quinn lowered his eyelids slightly and smiled contemptuously, "If I were him, it would mean a lot."

"I don't understand, owner." The Shadow wondered, "Do you need me to do anything more?"

Quinn didn't explain, just waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand sooner or later." In short, you remember, don't underestimate what is going to happen next, and act according to the original plan. I don't want to get sideways."

"Yes, host. What do you need me to do over there?"

"No, I don't. Just let him have nothing to do, and get out. ”

The dark shadow frowned, didn't question any more, and respectfully stepped back and closed the door.

Quinn then turned his wheelchair to face out the window, and the gloomy sky was very low, as if it was pressing on the top of people's heads, making people breathless. He looked out the window at the abandoned vineyard again, and his eyes immediately became more gloomy, as if he were trying to suppress some kind of thought tumbling in his chest, something more poisonous than venom.

Heavy dark clouds were piled up on the horizon, so heavy that it seemed that the sky could not carry so many intrigues and hatreds.

And Manor Montt is shrouded in this endless dark cloud, like an old castle isolated on a clifftop. Under the cliffs, there is a raging sea, a rushing sea, a roaring sea. The water was black and dirty, and it slapped against the reef of the cliff with impunity, trying to destroy it, trying to devour it

And Quinn sat indifferently on the edge of the cliff, his clothes fluttering, looking at the stormy waves, his face did not change and his heart did not beat.

It's as if he's manipulating this qiē.

Or, in his mind, he was indeed manipulating this qiē.

It's just that you need to wait for an opportunity, a time to close the net and clean it, and the whole world will be clean.

Whether it is Lei Ming or others, in the end, they can't escape the net he has laid

He believed that he was a god, and that was his only faith

An indestructible and unshakable faith

It's not like, that family of ridiculous people

Quinn's gaze fell on the frames again, and the frames fell to the ground, the glass surface of which had already shattered.

Falling apart, it was as if this home, which had long ceased to exist in zài.

With another cold snort, Quinn turned his wheelchair and ran over the frame, leaving the room with angry eyes.

Only the shattered glass slag behind the back and the barren and burned wasteland outside the window were left.

At the same time, the city hospital.

All day, Li Qianya was in the ward with Qian Xiaomo, and Ke Haohan naturally stayed aside and read the magazine boringly.

"Why hasn't Lei Ming come back yet," Li Qianya asked.

Ke Haohan also glanced at his watch, "Yes, it takes so long to do any checks."

Qian Xiaomo looked uneasily in the direction of the door of the ward, and her heart was uneasy, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

"I'm with you"

"No need." Qian Xiaomo interrupted Li Qianya's words, "I'll be back soon." ”

Without waiting for Li Qianya to catch up, Qian Xiaomo had already left the ward in a hurry.

There were not many people in the corridor, Qian Xiaomo glanced at the direction of the nurse's station and walked straight over.

"Hello, I would like to ask, Lei Ming from Ward 7, what kind of examination is he doing now?"

"Wait a minute." The nurse flipped through the information in her hand and looked at Qian Xiaomo in confusion, "He didn't check today." ”

Qian Xiaomo's eyes flickered, but she didn't feel any surprise in her heart, she only thanked her, said that she had made a mistake, and then went back to the ward with a frown.

"Found him" Li Qianya asked immediately when she saw her come in.

"Well, the nurse said, it's still checking, we don't care about him, let's play."

Li Qianya grinned and pointed to the shuffled playing cards in front of her. Qian Xiaomo reluctantly smiled and walked over, absentmindedly picking up the cards in his hand, but every card in front of him was the appearance of Lei Ming.

She knew that Lei Ming made an excuse to plan the affairs of the Skeleton Alliance, she knew that Lei Ming had a reason to support herself, she knew that she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't help Qian Xiaomo Grab the cards in her hand, and the cards immediately wrinkled.

Like, now Lei Ming's frowning brows.

"So, you know the man in the photo"

In the doctor's office on another floor, Lei Ming stood at his desk and handed his phone to a man in front of him.

In the phone is a photograph of a man in a black coat and black leather gloves coming out of the hospital room. There was also a small attendant who followed behind the man, and the two of them were in a hurry, with gloomy faces, and they were by no means good. And the man in black who walked in front was the black shadow.

"When did you take this picture?"

The man sitting opposite Lei Ming raised his head at this time, and on his sunny and handsome face, his eyes were empty and confused.

Only then did Lei Ming tell Lian Ronglin about the morning, "I hid in the opposite ward until his companion came to rescue him, and then took this photo. ”

Lian Ronglin looked at the photo carefully, his eyes could barely see some things after receiving treatment abroad, but sometimes there were still symptoms of floaters, "This person is a black shadow, one of Quinn's right-hand men, and he is a very important character." ”

"Dark Shadow." Lei Ming took back his phone, looked at the person in the photo, and muttered his name.

Lian Ronglin looked blankly in front of him, his eyes were not focused and looked very empty and weird, "If you want to know all his information, I will contact Jian Nian and give you an answer." ”

"Okay."

"I can't just wait, I'll let you know the next time we meet."

As he spoke, Lian Ronglin staggered to his feet with both hands.

Lei Ming helped him, "Didn't your eyes last time we met?"

"It's nothing, it's good and bad, I'm used to it."

Lian Ronglin withdrew his hand, groped a few steps forward, and stopped.

"Xiaomo, is it hurt badly?"

"It's just a skin wound."

Lian Ronglin smiled with satisfaction and whispered, "Protect her." ”

"I will." Lei Ming responded, and Lian Ronglin had already left.

Lei Ming looked at the photo on his phone again, and the appearance of the black shadow had been firmly engraved in Lei Ming's memory.

At this time, he didn't know that this black shadow meant a catastrophe for him
