Remember for a second No pop-ups

Qiao Weihuan raised her eyes with a smile and watched her approach motionlessly.

Vivian, who was holding the candlestick, hesitated, her hand raised the candlestick forward, and shook it in front of Qiao Weihuan's eyes with the inclined firelight, and before the heat was close to Qiao Weihuan's face, her arm was grabbed by the rough big hand behind her, and then shook again, her arm was suddenly numb, and the candlestick in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

The man in the suit didn't have any intention of pitying, twisted Vivien's arm behind him, and pressed the back of her neck with his big hand, forcing her to lower her head.

"Cecil! You let him let go of me!! ”

Qiao Weihuan saw her twisting and twisting there, but she couldn't twist the man in the suit, and said calmly: "You've been ugly enough today, go back." ”

The Xu family can only be regarded as first-class in Manchester, and not even first-class in the UK, Vivian is crazy at her, and she will only be laughed at.

It's a pity that Vivien is so used to being arrogant that she can't see anything unusual in her eyes, because she naturally doesn't know what the laws of the circle itself are.

Qiao Weihuan watched the man in the suit cover Vivian's mouth and take her away, bypassing the hall and going out from the other end of the corridor.

She straightened her fluffy cuffs and walked back to the lobby, feeling inexplicably that there were a lot fewer people.

Qiao Weihuan frowned, tilted her head and asked the servant, "Have the guests all gone back?" ”

Before the maid could reply, Lisi ran over with her skirt and Barnett in her hand, "Butterfly, let's go to the garden!" ”

In the early years of the aristocracy, entertainment was lackluster, and gambling was the most popular of them. At that time, there was no electricity, and I played cards and joked after dinner, which was really boring, and I would play something in the garden. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the gentleman and the elegant lady play hide and seek among the manicured flowers and trees...... At that time, in their eyes, it was a very elegant game between handsome men and beautiful women, and this tradition has not been lost in the vast torrent to this day, and occasionally appears.

The ladies who had just come over with Vivien were bored with the game, which immediately attracted the attention of the guests in the lobby, and they all ran to the garden.

When Lisi heard about this, she had to join in the fun.

Qiao Weihuan didn't want to go, she raised her eyes to see that there was no shadow of Ash in the lobby, her eyebrows jumped, and she patted the back of Lisi's hand: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Lisi was delighted, and Barnett was more excited than she was, and her eyes lit up as she pulled her skirt and ran to the garden.

Qiao Weihuan slowed down, lowered her voice and asked the man in the suit next to her, "Where is Ash?" ”

"Madam, Ash is gone, and our men saw him get into the car and leave the manor."

"When?"

"Twenty minutes ago."

In other words, when Vivien came to find fault, Ash left alone?

So what the hell is he doing today, can't he just bring Vivien over and let her respond to her diaphragm?

The deep darkness of night covers the manor, with sparse lights and flickering stars. The green foliage is layered and intertwined, and the blooming roses are chirping, generously handing out their own fragrances, turning the garden into an intoxicating labyrinth.

Qiao Weihuan stood in front of the vast garden, the trees taller than a person were squared, and the air impenetrable isolated the irrelevant line of sight, and she could only hear bursts of laughter and a delicate female voice inside.

The semi-enclosed space makes people open even more, and I don't know how many people go in, but in short, it sounds like everyone is having a good time.

The entrance is guarded by men in suits, who use radio to communicate with their companions scattered in the garden, and observe the surroundings in an orderly manner to protect the safety of the guests.

There are enough people, and the garden is not so complicated, so there should be no problem.

However, Qiao Weihuan's eyelids fluttered uneasily, she saw that Lisi was being held by Banitra and was about to enter the garden, and couldn't help it: "Lisi, wait." ”

Lisi paused, glanced back at her, couldn't resist Barnett's stubbornness, and was dragged in. Two shadows, one large and one small, disappeared behind the dark green barrier like the wind.

Qiao Weihuan raised his hand and pressed it on his eyelids, and said to the man in the suit: "Protect the princess and Barnett, and follow them at all times." ”

After a pause, she said again: "Inform He Zhengxiao." ”

However, at this time, He Zhengxiao and Charlotte are in the Queen's Palace and will not be available. Besides, nothing happened, but hopefully she was just nervous......

Qiao Weihuan sat on a chair not far from the garden, waited patiently for a while, the maid came over and poured her tea, and bowed her head respectfully: "Madam, Mr. should be talking to the queen and didn't answer the phone." ”

Qiao Weihuan responded, pinched her stiff eyebrows, and turned her head to look at the garden.

Finally someone had had enough of playing and came out of it, saw her, bent down to her, and came over to make small talk to her.

One after another, people came out, all of them without exception, talking and laughing and waiting for others to come out of it.

Seeing fewer and fewer people come out, Lisi and Barnett are nowhere to be seen. Qiao Weihuan put down the teacup and gestured, and the man in the suit immediately strode forward and bent down: "Madam, the princess and Barnett are in the center of the garden, and they haven't come back yet, there are six of us following, you can rest assured." ”

Qiao Weihuan calmed down a little.

Suddenly, a dull gunshot rang out through the dense foliage and soft petals, and clearly reached her ears.

The voice with its long afterglow struck everyone's nerves, and people looked at the garden in amazement, but it trembled and rushed up to the dome.

The crowd was silent for a moment, then exploded.

"That was just now...... Gunshot? ”

"What's going on, why would someone shoot in the manor?!"

"Oh my God, what's going on......"

The crowd became restless, and the panicked ladies hurriedly retreated, the timid almost screamed, and finally they were either held back by themselves or covered by the people next to them.

Qiao Wei stood up happily and looked at the entrance with dark eyes, "Where is the source of the sound?" ”

The voice was neither light nor heavy, but there was an awe-inspiring deterrence, which quieted the crowd slightly.

The man in the suit also grimaced, and quickly contacted his companion through the radio. Then he frowned tightly, lowered his voice and said to Qiao Weihuan: "Madam, in the flower bed in the northwest corner of the garden, someone was shot, and now he is in a coma, and he is being sent out for rescue by our people. ”

…… It's broken.

None of the people here today are not noble, and anything that happens may cause trouble.

The point is, who did it?

Ash is gone, and there was no one else around when he came, so it should have nothing to do with him......

"How's that going?"

"I don't know yet, but at that time our men saw that there was no one in the northwest corner, and only two people were left there, and when the gunfire appeared, they rushed there, and they did not see who fired the shot, only Lord Little, who fell to the ground."

It was the baroness who had just talked to Qiao Weihuan.

Qiao Weihuan didn't have time to think about it, and walked quickly to the entrance of the garden.

Several men in suits carefully and quickly carried Litt out, her eyes closed, covering the bleeding wound on her arm, and her mouth snorted in pain.

Luckily, it was just an injury in the arm.

The guests watched in amazement as Litt was carried into the hall, and the personal physician of the manor hurried over to examine her wounds.

Looking at the doctor's expression, it doesn't look like it's life-threatening, but it's too terrifying!

Qiao Weihuan asked the man in the suit to bring the other guests out as soon as possible, and then she began to calm the guests' emotions, but the corners of her forehead were quietly dripping with fine sweat, and her chest was rumbling.

Ten minutes passed, and the last guest was taken out of the garden by the man in the suit in a daze, but Lisi and Barnett had not yet come out.

The man in the suit contacted his companion with a heavy face, "Why haven't you brought the princess out yet?" ”

There was no response, a silent silence.

His eyes froze, and he quickly reached out for his phone, but there was no signal on the lit screen.

The man in the suit walked to Qiao Weihuan's side in the wind, "Madame......"

After Qiao Weihuan listened, her whole body suddenly felt like she was poured down by a bucket of ice water, and the utter cold air entangled her to death. She pursed her lips, her gaze brushed over the guests with different expressions, and whispered, "How many guards are left outside the garden now?" ”

"About thirty."

"Twenty stayed to watch the guests, including the servants, and no one in the manor could leave."

"Yes!"

"I'm sorry that this has caused you a fright."

Qiao Weihuan bowed to the guests, straightened his waist, and put on a smiling face: "Lord Little is being treated, about this matter, I think everyone also wants to figure it out, why don't you wait in the lobby for a while, wait for Lord Little to wake up, or I will find out this matter and give you an explanation?" ”

Everyone clearly knew that Qiao Weihuan was going to find out who fired the gun, so he silently turned his head and looked at each other, no objection, and was respectfully invited into the lobby by the servant.

Who dares to refuse, isn't that a clear suspicion?

After solving these people, Qiao Wei smiled happily, turned around suddenly, and entered the garden.

Five men in suits strode away, walking in front of her, and five more behind her, impenetrable to protect her.

The person who fired the shot should be investigated, and Lisi's safety is equally important. In addition to Qiao Weihuan, Lisi was another person with a very valuable identity at the scene. It may not be safe for her to stay in the lobby, so she might as well go with them to find it.

What if something happens to Lisi......

The narrow path twists and turns, and the delicate flowers and branches caress her fluffy skirt reluctantly. Qiao Weihuan's footsteps paused slightly, half-bent down and lifted the corner of her skirt, shouting as she walked: "Lisi, Barnett?" Where are you? ”

No one answered, and the voice sank into the cries of the leaves, and gradually sank.

The men in the suit looked around vigilantly, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of him, and the men in the suits in front of him paused in unison, and their right hands quickly lifted the hem of their jackets and put them on their waists.

Seeing that it was a companion in the garden who had lost contact, several people did not let their guard down, and carefully looked at him before letting him join the team.

It wasn't until they reached the center of the garden and saw Lisi sitting on the ground, soothing Barnett from tears, that the group breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madame......"

The men in the suit subconsciously looked at Qiao Weihuan who was sandwiched between them, only to see the skirt between blue and purple gently raised, and in a violent "thud" sound, they quickly burrowed into the bushes.
