In the evening, 8 o'clock.

The sea is still happy, and I specially invited my sister and Zhang Guozhong to come to the company together, and the grade of the hotel here is not low, so it is just right to come here.

Although I have been here in the sea for a long time, I have never been to such a luxurious private room, and I have been gazing at the dazzling glass chandelier above my head for a long time, not to mention the large table a few meters wide and the decorations.

Although I was also a participant in the daytime event, my old lady kept silent, pressed my tangled curiosity into my stomach, and told me to be nosy.

So, until the end, I didn't understand what was going on, and I could only attribute my actions to an attempt to act bravely, but I got an assist.

Perhaps because he was afraid that everyone was too restrained, the sea was dressed very relaxed, and Zhang Luo finished the various work of his subordinates, so he sat in the position of the owner, raised his glass and spoke.

"Xiaoyu, this child is also warm-hearted, although he is a little different from my age, but there is no such estrangement, it is a very chatty friend, this holiday is also to tell me, want to work outside to make money, I want to go anywhere, it is better to come to me, there can be a care, let him take charge of the dessert house business downstairs, hey, I'm really sorry, I also have a lot of things, busy dizzy, I can't tell more, there are many people at the exhibition, and it is chaotic, so he should stop some.

The sea gave me enough face, and I opened and closed my mouth full of praise, and there was no mention of the game, and my playful image was suddenly packaged as a hard-working good boy.

Brother Hai, I won't say anything, I didn't give you the whole necklace in vain.

The old lady is particularly dignified today, although she is still young, but she already has a maturity and elegance that many people do not have, many times I even think that if it weren't for her love for this job, with her personal conditions, at least she would be a model or a star now.

On the other hand, Guozhong, a quasi-brother-in-law, has been in the army for a long time, and he is used to going straight and straight.

"Boss Zhang, you are polite, I am also worried that Xiao Yu will not be carefree and cause you trouble, but after all, he is such an adult, he also has his own opinions, and I am very pleased to hear you say this, I am also very pleased to be a sister."

Picking up the topic of the elder sister, I quickly stood up and said: "Yes, yes, thank you Brother Hai for taking care of me during this time, I have caused a lot of trouble to Brother Hai, I will do it first as a respect." ”

It's weird, but it's something the sea has specifically told you to do.

"Your sister is very thoughtful, if you see you and I usually don't see the outside, I will definitely think that you are defenseless against people, especially my identity is also special, your sister must be afraid that you will be deceived, and she is not worried about your situation; Therefore, you behaved politely at the dinner table, giving people a good relationship, but still very respectful, and everyone to maintain this attitude, whether it is your friend or me, of course, except for Yue Ling, your sister will definitely talk about the two of you today, whether you can pass your sister's level, it depends on how you behave. ”

I have to admire, the businessman is really sharp-eyed, just one side, and he is already roughly familiar with my sister's temper, although sometimes the sea is stupid like a second stunned, but seriously, it is by no means comparable to a hairy child like me who has not yet been born in society.

The realm is not one layer or two layers.

The old lady looked at me with a smile and a little satisfaction in her eyes.

The sea smiled, told the waiter outside the door to come in and fill the drink, and then began to make a planned reservation for my place.

"Xiao Yu, this young man, although there are some deficiencies, but for his age, he has done quite well, the dessert house is not large, but although the sparrow is small, many things in it need to be operated and improved, and they need to be properly managed, many things Xiaoyu has at hand to master, and he can also have a learning environment, so ah, I still hope that he can continue to be competent,......, of course, I will not keep him after the holiday, after all, his studies are important."

The old lady also nodded, and returned the salute with her hand: "Okay, since Boss Zhang can look down on Xiaoyu, it is also his honor, and it is a good thing to have more contact with a big entrepreneur like you, come, I respect you." ”

The wine glass is in a trance, the red wine is particularly sweet, and the chat is gradually coming to an end.

But I still don't dare to slack off, after all, my sister's purpose is more than this, and the topic of Moon Spirit will be mentioned at some point.

The old lady turned her head and looked at the shy Yue Ling, just smiling implicitly: "Girl, I don't know what to call it?" ”

Yue Ling, who was more nervous than me, was asked by the elder sister so abruptly, and suddenly became a little panicked: "Ah......, oh, Sister Qin, my name is Chu Jiaoyue, it's good if you call me Xiaoyue......"

"The name is very gentle, people look sensible, it's good, my sister doesn't mean anything else, I'm just curious, how did you fall in love with Xiaoyu, after all, he is notoriously frizzy at home, my parents were worried, he was bored and didn't look for a partner, and it was still troublesome to talk about marriage when the time came."

Yue Ling turned her head to look at me, and stopped talking, the words in her stomach were not yet hesitant.

Perhaps, she prepared a sentence for a long time how to describe her family environment, but she didn't expect that the old lady's question was different.

The old lady is absolutely deliberate, I know her too well, if she really has no objection to something, then all inquiries are just a smooth process.

Deliberately mixed with difficult ingredients, either it is a temptation, or there are other ideas.

No matter which side it is, I'm a little apprehensive, my sister's mind is too delicate, and it is difficult for ordinary people to parry.

"Because of ......, I like him."

Hiss......

As soon as Yue Ling's words came out, I was already half cold.

Sister, this question is not the intention of a drunkard! Her main focus is to see if you and I are sincere......

Too hasty and general answers will only make her more repulsive.

"Oh, let's be more detailed, why do you like him?" The old lady seemed to have found what she wanted, and with a calm and confident smile, she picked up the wine glass and sipped it gently.

Yue Ling's brows furrowed and loosened, and her hands were constantly rubbing, as if they were tangled.

The atmosphere on the table was suddenly a little delicate, and everyone didn't dare to look at this side, just drinking with food, trying to hide the embarrassment.

But just when I thought I was going to be finished, Yue Ling suddenly raised her head, mustered up a lot of courage, and looked straight at the old lady, with infinite confidence in her eyes.

"Because he was brave and dared to stand up when danger came, and he saved me and others, I think he was a great man; And he is also careful, very good at taking care of other people's feelings, many people around him have had difficulties, but he has always been the most supportive person, with him, I am at ease, so I will cherish him, and I will also work hard to maintain the hard-won status quo, if there is really something wrong, you can correct each other, in short...... It is...... Loved him......"

The momentum that was puffed up suddenly cleared up in the last few words, and Yue Ling's face was already as red as an apple, and his voice became smaller and smaller when he lowered his head.

"Whew."

The wine glass was gently placed on the table, making a pleasant crunch, and the old lady did not speak, but turned around and took something out of the satchel behind her.

"This is the peace charm that my parents begged for, I went out to study, I don't have a family by my side, I have to learn to take care of myself, I hope you can get along with Xiaoyu in the future, if there is any contradiction, communicate in time."

The old lady's voice was really a little unexpected to me, she slowly put the wooden card in her hand in Yue Ling's hand, and her eyes no longer had the same vigor as before.

Yue Ling held the peace charm in her hand, looked at the old lady, and nodded hard: "Mmmm, definitely!" ”

The old lady turned her eyes to me, and I was a little hairy: "Xiaoyu, be kind to others, you should also learn to be sensible." ”

"Uh...... Kindness! Good! ”

"That's okay, thank you Boss Zhang for your hospitality, it's not early today, we have to go back to count the data, so we'll be out of company first."

Dahai stood up, much more relaxed than me, shook hands with the elder sister and Zhang Guozhong, and then took us to send the elder sister and them out.

"If you've been drinking, is it convenient to drive? I'll let the driver drop you off. ”

The old lady turned her face, her cheeks were crimson, and she smiled: "No need, we have friends nearby, just call him and come over." ”

……

Finally sending the old lady away, I let out a sigh of relief, turned around and high-fived Ling Yuan, Ah Liu, and Xiao Ai excitedly.

"Xiao Yu ......"

The sea stood there, his hands in his trouser pockets, looking in the direction they had gone, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

I walked over with a smile, hugged the shoulders of the sea and joked: "Brother Hai, what's wrong, are you nervous too?" ”

But this man's face is a loss that he has never seen before, that kind of expression, mixed with unwillingness, like missing the prosperous Ming Jun, and like a train on the way home, I am a little puzzled when I see it.

He let out a long sigh and shook his head, the neon lights hitting his face, looking so lonely.

"It would be nice if I could meet a woman as good as your sister......"

Kindness?

Bah!!

I treat you as a big brother, and you actually have a crush on my sister??

Then I wish you can make your dreams come true in this life, so the family situation should not be a problem, but the old sister is desperate to follow Guozhong's classmates, don't think about it.

Ignoring their whims, I grabbed the Moon Spirit's hand and walked straight back.

"Yue Xiaoyue performed well today, I want to reward her."

"Brother Yu, I support you, my room has just been cleaned, you can contribute."

"Get out! You are dirty every day when you are not old, is Brother Yu that kind of person? …… Of course, you have to use your own room!! ”

"Oops, you two hate it, go away!"

"No, no! Ha ha!! ”

……

"Brother Ying, you can eat something, if you continue like this, your body will really be unbearable."

The outsider knocked softly on the door with a lunch box, but no one responded for a long time.

From behind him, the ghost knife came up, took the lunch box in his hand, and motioned for him to stand down.

"Brother Shadow, it's me."

There was still no response from inside, and the ghost knife raised his hand again and continued to clasp it on the door.

"Ninth Master...... I have something to say to you. ”

"Rub!"

The door opened suddenly, and the ghost stared at him with bloodshot eyes, his expression a little stunned, as if he had grasped some hope.

He looked out the door, there was no one else, and hurried into the house with a ghost knife.

Ghost Knife put the rice on the table, turned his head to look at the mess in the house, but his expression was indifferent, the clothes, sheets, bedding, and furniture all over the floor were chopped to pieces.

The ghost shadow sat cross-legged on the ruin-like bed, with bare white arms, hair was also very messy, and his handsome face was a little scumbag, and he looked down, which was particularly sad, "Ninth Master......, what did he ......say?"

The ghost knife picked up the rice again, walked over and handed it to the ghost, his eyes were very calm.

"I wanted to know, so I ate the meal."

The ghost raised his eyes to look at him, exhaled heavily, and then took the lunch box, gobbled it into his mouth, and didn't eat or drink for a few days, even if he was like him, he was about to be unable to hold on, and in the face of death, any resistance would be self-inflicted.

The ghost knife turned around, leaned a half-broken stool against the wall, and reluctantly sat down, just looking at the ghost with such an understatement.

"Smack!"

The lunch box was slapped on the ground, and the ghost swallowed the last bite of rice in his mouth, then turned his head and glared at the ghost knife, "Say, what did the ninth master say." ”

"The Ninth Master said...... if you don't eat again, you will die."

"You!!"

Seeing that the ghost knife was deceiving itself, the ghost directly pulled out the suffocating shadow word from the wall, pushed the ghost knife against the wall, and the blade was viciously pressed against his neck.

The ghost knife didn't struggle, nor did he resist, he just looked at the ghost with lazy eyelids: "Brother Shadow, if you feel uncomfortable, it's okay to split me here, the ninth master is as kind to you as a mountain, I understand your pain, but you should be more clear, what is the purpose of the ninth master to bring you and me back." ”

The ghost looked at him, a kind of annoyance at being teased, but the knife in his hand was not cut after all, he slumped his hand, and the knife also hit the ground with him, striking out a string of sparks.

He slowly crouched on the ground, his expression of pain and hatred.

Ghost Knife walked over, took out a photo from his pocket, and handed it to Ghost Shadow.

"This is the last thing left by the Ninth Master, the person in the photo, I don't know if you still remember."

The ghost looked at the somewhat crumpled photo, staring at it closely, always feeling familiar.

Suddenly! His thoughts also began to regress, and the scene of the past appeared in front of him again.

……

In the rain, a man dressed in a moving company costume was kneeling in front of him, and next to him was a headless corpse.

The man looked up, and in the pouring rain, his expression was extremely compassionate, and his eyes were full of begging and helplessness.

……

The ghost figure stood up suddenly, turned his head to look at the ghost knife, and was a little incredulous: "It's him??" ”

"If that's right, he's the one who escaped from you that day, the Ninth Master talked to me, this person ,...... It's probably what we've been looking for for a long time...... Nan, Yu, Heng. ”

"Impossible!" The ghost retorted questioningly, holding the photo in his hand and trembling, "There is no need for him to be so dangerous, if he didn't have that crossbow arrow that day, he would definitely die, and no one would have escaped from my sword!" ”

Saying this, the shadow word in the ghost's hand began to tremble, as if he was swearing his absolute confidence.

The ghost knife just smiled contemptuously, "You are very confident, but you are too confident, which is why the Ninth Master is relieved to let me stay on the side of the sixth child, but he has always taken you with him." ”

As if he had been insulted, the ghost shadow's eyes began to be a little unhappy when he looked at the ghost knife, but he knew each other's identities very well, and what the ghost knife said was true.

"Since that night, the ninth master has been suspicious of the whole incident, that group of people is indeed cannon fodder, and it is not false that the goods in City A have been intercepted in a few places, at first they thought it was a black food and drink on the road to seek money, until later, when he became the sixth child, he also stinked Wang Mazi, and the ninth master realized that from the beginning, we have all been played around."

"What?" The ghost looked at the ghost knife, only to feel more and more confused.

"Because we've been blinded from the start,...... The lost goods are actually not a big deal, but we think that the cannon fodder is to distract your attention, so that they can intercept the ......goods smoothly, but think about it on the other hand," the ghost knife said, turning his palm to the sky metaphorically, "If there is no such thing as that batch of goods being intercepted, then what is their purpose that night?" ”

The ghost calmed his emotions and tried to remember what had happened that day.

In my mind, the crossbow arrow froze for a moment.

His eyes suddenly became furious, and the entire room was filled with fierce killing intent.

"They ...... for the Ninth Master!"

Ghost Dao nodded, "I have been on the side of the sixth man for a year and a half, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his henchman, I know very well that the sixth person is greedy for money, he ignored the boss's advice, secretly colluded with Wang Mazi, and it was just to ask for the word 'wealth', so the death of the sixth child is either to be a scapegoat for others, or to be calculated, there should be this catastrophe." ”

The ghost listened, then picked up the picture again and looked at it carefully, and the person on it was carrying a bag and preparing to leave, as if he had prepared a plan to go.

His thoughts began to gradually become clear, and all the things that happened in City A jumped into his mind again, constantly rewinding.

Purge the sixth.

Found in the square, which led to a fight with the woman.

Destroy Wang Mazi's power.

In the end, he returned to the roof of the building that night.

Thinking about it again, he suddenly felt a little chilled.

The person who was almost collapsed at that time, looking at it now, actually had a cunning confidence in his eyes, and the direction he was looking at intentionally or unintentionally was the direction where the crossbow arrow came from!!

The ghost knife walked over, squatted beside the ghost, and said coldly: "From the beginning, the matter of intercepting the goods was a disguise, in order to make us mistakenly think that they were seeking money, and in this way, it will also make us turn our target to the most suspicious sixth child, Wang Mazi is just a victim of the way, their real goal is the ninth master; But if the assassination of the Ninth Master fails, it is logical that the matter will continue to be smeared, so as to borrow our hands to cause the organization to kill each other and get rid of the sixth child. ”

The ghost turned his head to look at the ghost knife, and his thoughts were completely clear.

"What do you mean...... They're coming for the organization, and someone wants to destroy us! ”

Unanimous in opinion, the ghost knife motioned for the ghost to put away the photo.

"The sixth is an important economic source in the organization, and if the sixth is removed, the business of City A will inevitably be hit hard, and it will have an impact on the entire organization at that time; The ninth master has no regrets in his life, but he talked to me at this last moment, only hating himself for his old age and not being able to continue to remove the shadow for the organization,...... That's you. ”

With that, the ghost knife got up and patted the ghost on the back, turned around and prepared to leave.

"The boss asked me to perform other tasks, and City A will be handed over to you, I don't know what the Ninth Master told you, but I understand that the Ninth Master just asked you to take this photo and go to the person you should be looking for, this ...... It's the last thing he left for you. ”

The door closed, and the cluttered room was left with only the ghost himself.

As soon as the sixth master and the ninth master die, the two largest living forces of the organization are equivalent to destruction, and the remaining hall masters have ghosts in their hearts, and when the boss is old, he can't restrain his rule, and the organization is afraid that there will be too much confusion.

The ghost smiled bitterly, wiped the sharp shadow word, and muttered a little unwillingly.

"Could it be...... Does the boss really want to pin the entire organization on Ye Hanluo? ……”
