Chapter 63: Failed Assassination
Shangguan Yu touched the towel again, it turned from hot to hot, and it could be taken off.
Years of experience have made his fingers extremely sensitive, and he can even touch He Zhanting's snort through a towel - a pause every two or three seconds, evenly soothing, which is a sign of falling asleep.
Although I was so nervous that I was sweating profusely, I couldn't wait for a secret joy in my heart.
He dipped the soft bristle brush in soapy water and gently applied it to He Zhanting's face, and the soapy water quickly foamed on the fine bristles, and the white flowers were thick. Then, he held He Zhanting's chin with his left hand, and waved the purple gold knife with his right hand to repair it along his cheek.
Beards of varying lengths are shaved off in foam, and the blades pass like freshly cultivated fields after weeding. He Zhanting closed his eyes and let the blade roam on his face, and his soul had already drifted away with the comfortable feeling.
Shangguan Yu felt that a drop of sweat had dripped into his eyes, and the salty heat was abnormal, but he couldn't spare time to wipe it at all. So he blinked a few times to stimulate the tear ducts, which neutralized the tears and sweat, and the eye sockets turned into ponds.
He glanced at Qin Luo who was standing aside again, and quickly retracted his gaze. He wasn't sure if Qin Luo was watching him, the whole house, the whole street, or even the whole Lucheng, probably no one was more nervous than him.
Touching the jawbone all the way to the neck, the purple gold knife carefully shaved off some sparse and scattered hairs on the side of He Zhanting's Adam's apple. He looked closely, was a little unsure, and decided to probe with his hands.
The finger silently moved down and touched it! A beating, elastic blood vessel lies beneath the skin, like a dark spring in a cave.
In order to ensure that it would not move aside, he unconsciously exerted force on his fingertips, pressed it, and then grasped the handle of the purple gold knife and cut it towards this carotid artery.
At the same time, He Zhanting, who felt the change in the strength of the shaver, opened his eyes, his eyelids opened like a curtain, and a cold light that made people retreat shot out.
"Shangguan?" He Zhanting called out for unknown reasons, and then saw a fierce look on his old friend's face that he had never seen before.
Although this soft cry was full of doubts, it was also full of eagerness among old friends, and Shangguan Yu hesitated. Only two seconds, when he made up his mind again, he had missed the whole life.
It was these two seconds that gave He Zhanting a chance to live.
Qin Luo sensed the murderous intention, and subconsciously stopped his arm, but was pushed instead. And He Zhanting slipped off the swivel chair, hunched over and ran three or five meters away, entering the safe area. The two bodyguards rushed up with extremely agile reactions, one left and one right backhand to control him. He struggled desperately, but like Sun Wukong pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, he couldn't move at all.
Looking at it again, the three apprentices were also shot to the face by the other two bodyguards, and knelt on the ground side by side, the whole process took less than a minute, like a martial arts drama that had been choreographed countless times.
Unfortunately, it was not him who won.
He Zhanting jumped on the chair despite the fact that his face was half smooth and bright, and half of it was still foamy. This is the position that makes him safe, and only by being condescending can he be sure of victory.
He couldn't believe all this, and asked bitterly: "Shangguan, are you crazy?" ”
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Shangguan Yu lost his previous panic and laughed twice. A bodyguard threw a fist into his stomach, and he immediately bowed down like a shrimp, and the pain in the furthest part of his abdomen was excruciating.
"Why, why did you kill me?" He Zhanting asked again, his eyes erupting with fire.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Because you deserve to die!" ”
The bodyguard punched again.
He Zhanting roared: "Let him speak!" ”
He struggled to his feet, thinking that straightening his back would hold on to his last dignity. A stream of heat oozed from the corner of his mouth, and when he touched it, he bleed.
"I didn't finish what I said, I didn't admit it!"
"What the hell are you talking nonsense?"
He cried as he spoke: "With a flick of your fingers...... Bah! Do you know what I have survived in the past seven years? One day, the enemy will avenge my fall, and it is by this belief that I will survive. In a flash, I spent every moment like a year, and I wanted to hurry up but I wanted to go down to find my daughter......"
"So you haven't forgiven me yet, hey." He Zhanting lowered his head slightly, but quickly raised his head vigilantly, "If I hadn't held a banquet for pomp and circumstance back then, and invited some people I didn't know, your family would not have been killed." I've always regretted it, I regret that I indirectly harmed her, and I feel guilty every time I see you. But Shangguan, after the accident, I also used all my connections to find out the real culprit, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and there was no way to do it. I understand that you can't get out, and I don't complain if you hate me, but you don't be satisfied until you take my life? Is the friendship between our brothers and sons also fake? ”
"What kind of drama are you still playing in front of me now, hmph, it's better to shoot me down, so I can reunite with my daughter."
"Shangguan!"
"Don't call me, who has any friendship with you, you well-dressed beast, wolf in sheep's clothing!"
"Presumptuous!" He Zhanting couldn't help but roar, "You have gone mad in search of revenge, do you know who I am?" ”
"Of course you know, you're a bastard, a scoundrel, a shameless person with blood on your hands! Don't say what you've done behind your back in the past few years, even what you did before coming to Lucheng is clear to me! ”
"Stop talking, shut up!" Talking about his early experience, He Zhanting seemed very repulsed. He grabbed the towel and wiped his face sloppily, and then ripped off the bib on his body. "In vain, I call you a brother and a brother, and I still want to come to see you from time to time, but I am blind."
"If you don't know, unless you don't do it, how did you come to Lucheng, how did you make a fortune, how did you collude with officials and businessmen to do all the bad things, you know it in your heart!"
Shangguan Yu's voice was so loud that it seemed that people outside the store could hear it, and even Qin Luo couldn't help but turn his gaze to him slightly, looking like he was "willing to hear it".
He Zhanting waved his hand to signal him to shut up, no, it was not a gesture, it was like a request.
"I wasn't clean enough, and I did something unseemly when I started. But I'll tell you Shangguan, it's not your turn to count me down. I, He Zhanting, am sorry for thousands of people, but your daughter's incident was purely accidental, and I don't want to. ”
"It's you who kills you, and you pretend to be with me!" Shangguan Yu roared, so frightened that the eyes of the three apprentices present were about to fall out.
"Fuck you!" He Zhanting jumped down and kicked the flipping chair, "Which dog day poured you *, and it actually relied on my head!" ”
"Luoluo was ill that day, I forced her to go with her, and she was so drunk that she went to the upstairs guest room to rest, and then something happened not long after. I remember that you disappeared before the feast was over that day, and you didn't show up again until something happened to Luoluo. You told me that you went out for some time, and I never suspected it for so many years. Now that I think about it, the guests of the feast themselves left early, how can it be justified. ”
"You go on." He Zhanting put away his anger and said calmly, as if he was very interested in his speculation.
"A while ago, I tried my best to find the person who worked in the hotel to inquire, and someone saw you getting into the guest room from the back freight elevator, and you were alone. Mr. He, Master He, He Zhanting! The dignified president of the Aogu Group, he is a bodyguard when he goes out, and no matter how bad he is, he will bring a dog ......" Shangguan Yu glared at Qin Luo with contempt, "He will actually act alone." ”
"So you think I did it?" He Zhanting asked calmly, his tone extremely calm.
Shangguan Yu looked at each other angrily, and his eyes emitted a fierce light like a beast: "Can there be any other explanation!" ”
"I have nothing to say, it's the first time I've been wronged like this...... Come on, I still have to meet the people in the government, and I don't have time to listen to your story. Say, what do you want? ”
"I miss you to death! Or let me die! ”
Shangguan Yu was like a desperate warrior, shouting out the last cry in his heart. He knew that once the assassination failed, it would be impossible to get close to He Zhanting again, and watching the enemy surface but completely drifting away, only death could be happy.
After a period of silence, He Zhanting finally made a decision: "Okay, I will satisfy you, although the words in the end are not very good." Then he glanced at Qin Luo, Qin Luo came over, and he bowed his head and said a few more words.
Qin Luo looked at a few bodyguards and nodded.
"You don't have a family, I can only take care of a few of your apprentices. I can guarantee that they will pass on your reputation as 'one less knife'. Thank you for giving me a head trim over the years, I'm afraid I won't find such a good master as you in the future. ”
After that, He Zhanting walked out helplessly and with difficulty.
Qin Luo gave a few words to a few bodyguards, one of them looked embarrassed, Qin Luo's eyes widened, and the man nodded knowingly.
The three apprentices were so frightened that they were pushed by the two bodyguards, and they threw out "one less knife." ”
At this moment, there was only one bodyguard left in the store to clamp Shangguan Yu, and then Qin Luo.
Qin Luo stroked his goatee and walked up to Shangguan Yu.
"Master Shangguan, I have always respected you, how can you compare me to a dog?"
Shangguan Yu turned his head away, ignored it, and talked to Qin Luo, he felt insulted to himself.
"You've always looked down on me, and I've been squeezed countless times like a clown. But there is one thing you forgot, although the lord is happy to see you scolding the dog and teasing the dog, you should not forget the truth that it depends on the owner to beat the dog. ”
"Get out!" Shangguan Yu roared.
Qin Luo pretended to buckle the holster around his waist for him, and picked up the purple gold knife on the ground.
"Give me this to play, you have always refused to do a hair trim for me, I can only try the charm of this knife myself."
"I'm afraid that if you cut off your dog's head, you won't be able to scream! Hahaha. ”
Qin Luo smiled, and walked out after saying something.
He Zhanting's special car swooped away, and a gunshot rang out from inside the "One Less Knife", and the bodyguard who was left behind hurriedly ran out, grabbed the road and fled, and soon disappeared into the alley.
Diagonally opposite the bubble tea shop, a woman in a beige windbreaker suddenly got up and wanted to rush over to take a look, but just took a step and stopped, shook her head painfully, and let two lines of tears flow from under her sunglasses.
After paying, she took a deep breath and walked down the street, heading towards Sakura Apartment.
In the car, He Zhanting and Qin Luo sat side by side in the back seat, bored for a long time, and asked Qin Luo in a low voice: "Why did I go that day?" ”
Qin Luo looked at him, with a hesitant expression of "I don't know whether to talk about it or not".
"You forgot, too?" He asked again.
"The lord is lying, you don't have anything to do, you ...... You're on the top floor. Qin Luo raised his index finger and pointed to the roof of the car.
He Zhanting patted his head and thought about everything.
"Yes, I saw Manying go, look at my memory."
Qin Luo smiled in understanding, and the two stopped talking.
Seven years ago, He Zhanting was entangled with a woman named Manying for several months, and from the beginning to the end, he was not discovered by the sensitive and suspicious Xin Mu, and he was proud of it for a while.
