Chapter 28: The Clown and the Child
Gaopo Cemetery is a cemetery standing in the middle of the city. The tall trees and the lawn are well coordinated with each other, intentionally or unintentionally, to create an excellent cemetery environment. Despite being in the middle of the city, the tranquil surroundings of the cemetery are a place of rest.
Standing on this piece of soil, the footsteps of pedestrians unconsciously lightened.
"The Tomb of Lankong" followed Canglan, and Ai Xiang and others came here. In this gray cemetery. Gently placing the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone, Ai Xiang gradually turned his eyes to Canglan. Looking at the tombstone in front of him, the current blue looks a little sad.
"This is my father's tombstone."
Canglan's tone was very lonely and did not speak. Looking at the blue in front of him, Ai Xiang was silent.
"You know what? Why, one of our unpopular Blue Moon firms can participate in the bounty directly issued by the city of Turin. This is a bounty that only top firms can actually participate in. He turned around slowly, with a hint of sarcasm on his blue face.
"Isn't it because Coulee helped us?" Mona spoke, and the depression in the air was felt even by Mona.
"Coulee? That's just a trivial reason. If it weren't for the mayor's nod, how could Gulee be qualified to decide these things. Canglan's tone was very disdainful.
"Mayor?" Mona was a little dazed.
"Ridiculous? My father, Lan Kong, is actually very good friends with the mayor, and it was my father who single-handedly pushed Lan Kong to the throne of mayor. But because of the mayor, my father Lankong died. Canglan's eyes were very cold, and his blue pupils were as cold as ice at this moment. It's like a different person.
"This mission is just a microcosm of the power struggle in the city of Turin." Canglan's words also supplemented Ai Xiang's long-standing doubts.
"So who else can fight the mayor!"
"Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?" Ai Xiang replied to Mona's words. Although he knew the truth of the matter, Ai Xiang was not determined to intervene. When it comes to this kind of thing, it becomes very troublesome. If you intervene, the price to pay is not so simple. If something goes wrong somewhere, then Ai Xiang may also be trapped. This kind of powerful relationship is also something that Ai Xiang has been worried about.
"I'm not looking for revenge, I'm just trying to save Babe, that's my request." Canglan looked at Ai Xiang and bowed.
"Who are you, Beibei?"
"The child of a very important person." Canglan, who was bent over, couldn't see Ai Xiang's expression, and the short silent reaction made Canglan gradually nervous.
"I agreed. However, after this matter is settled. I think I'm leaving, and I'm glad you took care of it during this time. When Canglan looked up, what he saw was Ai Xiang's silence. There was a rare tension in the expressionless face. This is the first time Canglan has seen Ai Xiang seriously. Ai Xiang is not very handsome, but it is rare to have a very delicate and sunny temperament. The four eyes were facing each other, but there was an incomprehensible firmness in Ai Xiang's small eyes. For a moment, Canglan was stunned.
"You don't look like you at all." Ai Xiang said a word, didn't look at Canglan's reaction again, and turned to leave. glanced at the blue in front of him, and then at Ai Xiang who was leaving. Mona didn't even know what to do.
"Thank you" took a deep breath, looking at Ai Xiang's back as he left, Canglan hurriedly gathered his mind and rushed up.
Since that night, the Joker has taken the child to his second secret base. It is a huge villa, because the owner has been away for a long time, and now it has become a temporary place for the clown.

"The number of people has arrived, and I have something to tell you."
"There are bad guys looking for us, and everyone will live here for a while during this time." Looking at the ten children in front of him, the clown's expression was full of seriousness.
"But who will look for us, we are all children that no one wants." Children are carefree, but everyone is very named themselves and others. It's just a kid that no one wants.
"No, Beibei is different from us." Almost instantly, the children's eyes were already focused on Beibei's body.
"Iā" opened her mouth, but Bei Bei didn't say anything in the end. Tightly grasping the doll in his hand, Beibei's eyes darkened.
Yes, I am different from everyone else. I have parents, not orphans like other children. It doesn't belong to you either. Looking around, Beibei's eyes couldn't help but darken. This feeling of being out of place made Bei Bei very annoying.
"It's okay, this is your home after all." The clown touched Beibei's head, and a flash of pity flashed in his eyes.
As the children say, Beibei is different from everyone else. Originally, the Joker's targets were always children who had lost their parents, or who had been abandoned by their parents. However, Babe is different. Bei Bei is the only child of the clown who has parents but is brought by herself.
After drinking the other children away, the clown gently hugged the child in front of him.
"Brother Clown, am I really different from them? I felt like I couldn't fit in. Isn't it much better without me? Gagged, Bei Bei looked very uncomfortable at this time. This feeling of being out of place gives Bei Bei another feeling of being outside. It's a feeling like you're at home.
"No, you're no different from everyone else. It's just that you've been here for a little too short. ā
With a "click", a balloon emerged from the clown's hand. In an instant, Beibei's attention was also attracted. Looking at the balloon toy in the clown's hand, the loneliness in Beibei's eyes was instantly swept away. I've seen this kind of performance several times. However, every time she watches the clown's balloon magic, Beibei's mood improves.
Looking at Beibei, who was playing with the balloon in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the clown's face. The thick makeup did not stop the clown's expression in the slightest. "Sure enough, children are easier to coax."
While the clown is playing with the children. Ai Xiang and his party have also begun to set off gradually. After paying the price, Ai Xiang was not prepared to kill the clown's residence directly this time.
