Chapter 41: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
The dagger knocked open the brick lightly, only to see that there was a small black hole under the brick, and there seemed to be some mechanism hidden inside.
"See, that's one of the tricks often used by top killers: pinprick traps." Zhang Qi smiled faintly and threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand.
"Whoosh!" Several steel needles suddenly burst out of the black hole and shot to the roof against Zhang Qi's face!
"What a trap! Improvements have been made! Zhang Qi sneered and destroyed the mechanism, but Li Qingzhi was so frightened that she didn't dare to move: "Will there be an organ in other places?" ”
"Maybe!" Zhang Qi smiled maliciously and scared her: "You'd better stand there and don't move, an experienced killer won't just place a trap, since you have this mind, you will definitely seal all angles!" ”
Zhang Qi actually had some doubts in his heart: the lethality of this trap is very terrifying and hidden, but how can the operator determine that the target will be stepped on?
You must know that there will be a lot of people performing on this stage the day after tomorrow, what if the target has not yet appeared on the stage and hurts others?
He looked down at the program arrangement, and finally understood.
It turned out that in order to make his daughter more brilliant, the golden fat man arranged her show in the first place!
Jin Xiaochan's program is a Russian folk dance, tap dance, most of the movements of this dance are stepping on the floor, of course, it is inevitable.
"Sir, the opponent is so cunning, I'm really worried that something will go wrong......" Li Qingzhi was a little frightened: "This is just a trap, it's already so deadly and secret, what if there is anything we haven't discovered?" Don't let Miss Kim participate in the beauty pageant and persuade her to quit! ”
"It's not that we can stop it if we want to, don't you see that Jin Xiaochan's attitude is extremely resolute? I have long seen that Boss Jin is a guy who is obedient to his daughter, even if he knows that he will die in the competition, he will definitely not be able to defeat his daughter! Zhang Qi shook his head helplessly: "Do you think I'm willing to do this?" In fact, I was also pushing the boat that day, and I could at least get Miss Jin's favor and support when I said it, which made the task more smooth. ”
"I have a bad premonition, even if we check carefully, after all, people are in the dark, mixed in the reporters, mixed in the audience, we have no way at all! By the time we find out, it is very likely that the other party has already fired," Li Qingzhi suddenly became a little pessimistic: "Maybe we should ask our superiors to report the current situation, and we can't let the beauty pageant continue!" ”
"Hmph, it's useless." Zhang Qi stood up with a cold smile: "Even if Miss Jin doesn't participate in the beauty pageant, as long as the other party's goal is not achieved, the threat will still be there!" Didn't I say yesterday that our purpose is not to defend, but to fight back! If you don't pull the other person out, don't even think about closing your eyes when you sleep. ”
Suddenly, the curtain was opened, and Jin Xiaochan looked at the two of them dumbfounded.
Li Qingzhi and Zhang Qi were a little flustered, but at this moment, the paper could no longer contain the fire, Zhang Qi sighed and put his hands on his hips: "Miss Jin, did you hear it?" ”
"It turns out that you are also here to protect me...... Jin Xiaochan is a reasonable girl, she nodded thoughtfully: "I'm really sorry to let so many people take risks for my willfulness...... I really don't want to go. ”
"Miss Jin, since you know it, we will no longer hide it, the country sent us to protect you, not only related to your personal safety, but also related to the interests of the country! The rare metal industry in your father's hands is a strategic resource, and international spies have long been eyeing this big fat meat! They are likely to use guò to force your father to comply! ”
Zhang Qi didn't speak, he carefully observed the girl's expression.
After many days of contact, he felt that Jin Xiaochan was not a willful girl who didn't care about qiē for her own private words, but why did she want to participate in the beauty pageant with such a stubborn inspection?
Behind any unreasonable phenomenon, there are always antecedents and consequences.
Jin Xiaochan sat down silently, this round-faced girl was not wearing a gorgeous evening dress and dazzling makeup at this time, and her calm and elegant appearance actually had a gentle and down-to-earth beauty.
"Miss Jin, you speak." Li Qingzhi was a little anxious: "In order to protect you, three have died, I don't know what will happen in the future!" For your safety and for the good of the country......"
"Qingzhi, don't talk about it yet." Zhang Qi interrupted her and looked directly at the silent Jin Xiaochan.
"I ...... I don't want to be like that...... But ......" Jin Xiaochan's body trembled, covering her eyes with her hands.
"I know your thoughts, child." Suddenly, the door of the theater opened, and it was Boss Jin with a gloomy face who entered.
He shook hands with Zhang Qi and Li Qingzhi one by one: "Two comrades, thank you for your hard work. Actually, yesterday I noticed that someone was secretly helping me, but I didn't expect you to make such a big effort to protect my daughter. ”
"That's what we're supposed to do." Zhang Qi, who was dressed in women's clothes, was slightly embarrassed and lifted up the low-cut suit.
"But I also support my daughter to continue to participate in the competition, you may think that we want to be famous and crazy, but I want to sue you, Xiaochan is not for herself, but for her mother......" Boss Jin also burst into tears when he said this: "My mother and I were just ordinary miners in state-owned mines, and we had a hard life when we were young, but we all have a hope, I hope that my child will no longer be like us one day, and I hope that she can become a big star and a big singer!" ”
Zhang Qi didn't say anything, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart: pity the hearts of parents all over the world, in fact, no matter how much money you have and what your social status is, this simple and simple mentality is the same.
"Later, the two of us looked for a mine by ourselves and became the owner of the mine, and we saw that the hard days were coming to an end, and we had a few dollars in our hands, but we were targeted by a gang of gangsters! They bet on time to catch us who just got the ore sales money, the child would rather die than let go, and was beaten to death by those people...... "Boss Jin said that a man who was over half a hundred years old actually cried pear blossoms with rain: "Everyone likes money, but it's not a good thing!" For this money, even humanity is gone! The child said before his mother died: Don't let Xiaochan be like us in the future, let her be a star! Decent money! ”
"Dad, don't talk about it......" Jin Xiaochan hugged her father, and the father and daughter cried a lot.
"Boss Kim, if I'm not mistaken...... The guy who targeted your daughter this time seems to know quite well about your situation. Zhang Qi sighed with emotion and his mind was still calmly analyzing: "Although the superiors suspect that foreign enemy elements are operating, they may not know so much about the domestic situation, and there must be someone in the middle of the matchmaking!" ”
"That's right! There is one thing that I have never told others, I suspect that the guy who killed Xiaochan's mother back then is targeting us again! Boss Jin's chest rose and fell violently: "Only these people will know so much about our situation, I also received a blackmail letter before, wanting to ask for 30 million, otherwise it will be bad for my daughter!" ”
"But you didn't choose to call the police, why is that?" Li Qingzhi asked puzzled.
Boss Jin stopped talking, his fat and tall body trembled slightly, and his face was ugly.
"Mr. Kim, take a step to speak." Zhang Qi glanced at Li Qingzhi lightly and took a few steps outside.
Boss Jin had a gloomy face and walked out slowly.
"You're here to keep my daughter safe, we should communicate well," he barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Don't wronged yourself like this anymore, I'll arrange a room for you......"
"Mr. Kim, that's not the point." Zhang Qi's gaze was like a scalpel, quietly dissecting the other party.
"I know, maybe you need help, I can leave all the bodyguards in your command." Boss Jin is also an old Jianghu and knows how to change the topic.
But Zhang Qi didn't eat this at all, and smiled faintly: "You chose not to call the police, do you want to take revenge?" ”
The air froze instantly, and Boss Jin had frost on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Be careful what you say, I'm a legitimate businessman." Boss Jin glanced at Zhang Qi coldly: "Even if you are here to protect my daughter, you can't say anything." ”
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you that even if you want to avenge your wife, you must first ensure the safety of your daughter." Zhang Qi smiled faintly and patted the other party's shoulder with one hand: "Of course, if I guess wrong, please forgive me, a character like Xiangnan Sanjie is not only a bodyguard, but also a killer on the black market!" You should know. ”
"Now that they're dead, there's no point in anything." Boss Jin looked at him vigilantly: "If you can really help me stop these villains, I will be rewarded heavily!" ”
"I can do more than just stop it." Zhang Qi's fingers clicked: "What I hate most in my life is the shameless people who betray the interests of the country for money!" It will not be easy for such a person to be in my hands. ”
"Oh!" Boss Jin's face instantly turned from gloomy to clear: "Sir...... Are you serious in what you say? ”
"I've never been so serious, but I have one condition."
"Say it! I can afford any amount of money! As the only billionaire who has entered the top 30 of the Forbes list solely by relying on the ore industry, he believes that he can afford any price.
"Many of the projects you operate are strategic resources, and foreign practices are to store their own rare metal resources first and spend money to acquire resources from other countries, so that once our country's scarce resources are exhausted, people can sell them at sky-high prices!" Zhang Qi looked at the other party seriously: "As a businessman, you can't just take care of your immediate interests, how expensive it is for you to sell to foreigners now, you are also losing money!" It is the interests and blood of the nation that are compensated! ”
"Yes, you're right!" Boss Jin kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief: "Actually, this kind of thing happened recently, and it was a big reason that I realized this, and I no longer supplied foreign goods but sold them to my own government at a low price, so the other party was annoyed and angry!" ”
"I checked the mirror that was shot yesterday, and the position was deliberately a little off, the opponent's purpose was to injure not to kill directly!" Zhang Qi also nodded: "Now, it can be explained that the other party is deliberately coercing you in this way." ”
Two men were talking outside when they suddenly heard a short scream inside the theater!
"Oops!" Zhang Qi's heart was cold, and he quickly rushed in.
I saw that a hole was opened in the ceiling of the theater, and Li Qingzhi fell to the ground with a wilt, pointing to it: "Assassin, run away from above!" ”
Zhang Qi took a brief look, but fortunately, the girl was wearing body armor and was not pierced by the silencer pistol, so there was no big problem.
followed the traces of the other party closely on the roof of the shed, and saw a man in a white windbreaker holding Jin Xiaochan on his shoulder, putting a piece of cloth on the rope with one hand, and slipping down......
This action is more fancy than a stuntman! But Zhang Qi is not a vegetarian either, as soon as he took off his shirt and concocted it like this, the other party did not hesitate to cut the rope with a knife after he landed!
Zhang Qi shuddered in the air, adjusted his posture with his head, and squatted slightly and paused when he fell to the ground.
The other party took advantage of the moment to put Jin Xiaochan in the back seat of the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator and sped away!
Zhang Qi didn't have time to think about it, and shot a dragon's tooth dagger like a beam!
The dagger and the speeding motorcycle raced in an instant, after all, the motorcycle had just started and did not have much strong momentum, and after all, it did not get rid of the deadly beam.
The original chic escape, Zhang Qi's knife made people turn on their backs, and even people with motorcycles fell to the ground, and the motorcycle still spun on the ground a few times before it was very unwilling to stop.
Dressed in a white trench coat and wearing a helmet, the attacker lay quietly on the ground.
Jin Xiaochan suffered a little bruises, but her consciousness seemed to be quite clear, her mouth was taped and her head was constantly shaking, as if there was something important not to vomit or be unhappy.
Zhang Qi's heartbeat became clear, and he vaguely felt that danger was approaching.
The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him in the distance, and the aiming star had locked onto his heart.
"Woo!" Jin Xiaochan desperately tried to break free, but her mouth was stuffed, her hands and feet were trapped and she couldn't move.
Zhang Qi slowly walked forward in the scope, a sneer on the corner of the gunner's mouth aimed at him, and his fingers slowly went down......
Suddenly, something in Zhang Qi's hand flashed, and the light instantly reflected onto the gunner's sniper scope, making the other party raise his head suddenly!
One second, just one second.
The identities of the sniper and the sniper have been abruptly reversed.
The sniper finally saw what was reflective, and the dagger was firmly planted in his chest.
