There are two of them he knows, one is Xia Han and the other is Liu Lao, and there are still two vacant seats left between them, one is reserved for Xu Ran, and the other is Liu Mingxi left for him.

Xu Ran said hello to everyone with a smile, and then sat down at Liu Mingxi's signal.

Everyone else greeted Xu Ran with a polite smile, some were from the Xia family, and some were from the Liu family. As for why they eat together. It is estimated that only they know, anyway, Xu Ran, an outsider, does not know their relationship chain.

Because he knew Xia Han's identity in advance, Xu Ran here adhered to the principle of talking less and eating more, others basically wouldn't speak in person without asking Xu Ran, like this kind of family banquet has a lot of rules, take Xu Ran as an example, he is very unaccustomed to the environment here.

There is also an old man beside Liu Lao, who is about the same age as Liu Lao, both in their seventies, and Tong Yanhe is young.

He glanced at Xu Ran, then said with a smile: "Young man, you don't have to be polite, just treat this as your home, since you are Xia Han's friend and our friend, just have a happy meal as a family." ”

It was Xia Han's grandfather, Xia Zhengjun, who spoke. Xu Ran knew his identity, he used to be a soldier, it is said that he was the commander of the military region, and now although he has retired, the breath of that soldier is still branded on his body, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

This is the breath that only the superior can use.

Xu Ran nodded with a smile and called Grandpa Xia.

Xia Zhengjun nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, very happy.

"Young people should be like you."

He praised Xu Ran, which made Xu Ran, a cheeky person, a little embarrassed.

Next is Xia Han's parents, her father is also a soldier, but the level is not as high as the previous Xia Zhengjun, only to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Xia Han's mother was a businessman, and she could see on her face that she was beautiful when she was young, and half of Xia Han's genes came from her mother.

Sure enough, it was carved out of the mold!

Xu Ran sighed in her heart, facing her parents with a smile.

Since Xu Ran was not very familiar with them, there was no topic for a few words.

At this time, Liu Lao glanced at everyone and pointed to the dishes on it: "Let's talk while eating, feel free." ”

His words were actually relieving the stiff atmosphere.

"Brother Xu, where do you work? Interested in coming to Beijing? Liu Mingxi asked Xu Ran with a smile.

Xu Ran replied: "Minghai City, I don't want to change jobs for the time being." ”

Xia Zhengjun seemed to have checked Xu Ran's identity before he came, and he said to Xu Ran: "If you don't want to stay at Li Xiaozi's side, I'll arrange another job for you." ”

Xu Ran replied with a smile: "Grandpa, I don't need it, I feel that my current work is very good." ”

While he was talking, there was a couple on the other side who didn't say a few words from beginning to end, and that was Liu Mingxi's parents, Liu Tianyang and Xia Xinhui.

At this moment, they were staring at Xu Ran with a burning look, and their eyes revealed strong feelings.

They wanted to speak, but they couldn't find the right reason, so they could only stare at the young man in front of them.

Liu Tianyang's facial contours are somewhat similar to Xu Ran's, especially the straight nose, while Xia Xinhui's eyes are somewhat similar to Xu Ran's, large and round, and their eyes are like cow's eyes.

"Xu Ran! When are you going to leave Beijing? Xia Xinhui finally found an opportunity, and immediately asked Xu Ran after Liu Lao finished speaking.

Although the dinner table is casual, the elders can't wipe the younger generation when they speak.

Xu Ran smiled and said, "It's not clear yet, maybe tomorrow." ”

As soon as his words fell, Liu Tianyang on the side smiled and said, "It's okay!" Have time to come back and check it out. ”

Xu Ran said hello, and then looked at Xia Han on the side, she didn't say a few words until now.

This is good, the inviter was silent, but Xu Ran, an outsider, said a lot of things.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Ran sandwiched a dish for her and took the opportunity to ask.

Xia Han shook his head with a smile, and suddenly stared at Xu Ran seriously: "Do you know why I invited you to eat at home?" ”

She stared at Xu Ran, with some excitement and expectation in her eyes.

Xu Ran answered her question seriously: "I don't know!" "The eyes are showing a calmness that has never been greater.

"But I know it's not the last." In the end, Xu Ran covered it with other topics.

He knew what Xia Han wanted to say, but he didn't want to return to this question.

The time of the family banquet was close to more than an hour, and when Xu Ran thought that everything was about to pass, an accident suddenly occurred, to be precise, he found something wrong.

There was a faint pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness, it was the instinct of his body, the sixth sense he realized between life and death.

Someone is ambushing nearby, and the target is himself.

It's finally coming, and this man is the killer Reaper who came to kill him.

There was a figure staring at Xu Ran coldly in the dark, he evoked a sneer, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, and in his hand was a bow and arrow commonly used in hunting with cold weapons, in the smile, he slowly pulled the bowstring, aiming at Xu Ran's head and then loosening the bowstring.

Swish!

In the night wind, a pitch-black bow and arrow slashed through the dazzling light and came to Xu Ran's front, and before everyone had time to react, this arrow went directly to Xu Ran's hand.

"You didn't disappoint me." The black shadow revealed a blunt sentence in Chinese, then took a bow and arrow from his back and prepared for the second shot.

"Everyone, take it down and hide in an invisible corner."

The moment Xu Ran grabbed the bow and arrow, someone had already reacted.

Old Man Xia was the first to react, followed by Xia Han's father.

They overturned the table left and right, and threw it at the doorway outside, so that the view of those in the shadows would be obstructed.

By the time of this meeting, all of them found a place to hide, after all, they were all people who had been through strong winds and waves, and no one panicked when they encountered such a thing, and they hid without making a sound at all.

Xu Ran took the arrow in his hand and threw it directly outside the door, and suddenly there was a dinging sound, as if it was the sound of metal rubbing against the ground.

With such a cold weapon, Xu Ran was not afraid, and the opponent's shooting distance was limited, so he could not directly cause damage to himself.

He got up from the ground, rolled around, and jumped directly out of the door, someone tried to stop him, but his speed was too fast, and before he could exit, the person had disappeared.

"Xu Ran"

Everyone clasped their hands and stared at the vanished figure with a worried expression.

Running out of the gate, Xu Ran ran straight to the bottom of a big tree, and there was a person on the tree, who was the one who assassinated Xu Ran.

"It's finally coming!" The black shadow looked at Xu Ran with a grim smile, he did not show panic like others, but calmly jumped down from the tree, pulled out the bow and arrows and let go of the bowstring towards the moving figure.

Sou!

In the darkness, a silent arrow was aimed at Xu Ran's head and shot straight over.

Xu Ran raised his arm slightly, and took the bow and arrow carelessly, he threw the bow and arrow by the way, and threw it at the black shadow in the distance with his bare hands, which seemed to be an unintentional action, but the speed contained was very fast, not much worse than pulling the bow.

The black shadow showed a slight shock, and then smiled evilly, he learned to catch the bow and arrow with his bare hands like Xu Ran, and when it was gone, he grabbed it directly and cut the bow and arrow into two.

"You really have the courage to go wild here." Xu Ran walked out of the darkness and stared coldly at the man in front of him.

Handsome appearance, white skin, tall nose, light blue pupils, if there is anything special about him, it is his mouth, the curved crescent is high, and he seems to treat any vision with a sneer, he is the person Xu Ran wants to find "Death"

"There's no place in the world that I don't dare to come to, including here." The Grim Reaper snorted coldly: "Someone paid a high price to take your life, but I prefer to fight against a master like you, I hope you don't die too early." ”

After saying that, he hid directly in the darkness.

"Tomorrow I will prepare a gift for you, I hope you will be satisfied."

Xu Ran's figure suddenly stopped, he stared at the distant figure quietly, he knew that the gift in the mouth of the god of death must refer to Ertong.

Damn it! He's threatening himself.

Xu Ran's fists clenched, and it took him a while before he turned around and walked back.

Soon, a team of soldiers rushed over, and it was Xia Han's father Xia Hai who took the lead.

He was running towards Xu Ran with a anxious face, and only stopped when he came to him.

"Xu Ran! Are you okay, are you hurt? ”

Xu Ran shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "No!" We didn't do it. ”

Xia Hai relieved himself and patted Xu Ran's shoulder: "It's okay, let's go back first, they are still waiting for you at home." ”

Xu Ran apologized slightly: "Uncle Xia, I won't go back, this trouble is because of me, I can't bother you." ”

"Whatever you say, it's all family." Xia Hai also wanted to persuade Xu Ran, but he refused.

"If I have the opportunity to talk to the door again, I really won't go back this time." After saying that, he turned around and left, and after a few steps, he disappeared into the darkness.

"Chief! Who is he? I felt a strong smell of blood on him. One of Xia Hai's subordinates asked curiously.

"It's all people in the system, and you have the permission to check it yourself." Because Xu Ran rejected him, he was a little angry, and at this moment, when he heard his soldiers ask him, he couldn't help but let out his anger.

After this reprimand, he felt a lot more comfortable, but when he thought of the two elders in the family, he immediately became depressed, and it seemed that he was going to scold again when he went home, and the blame was that he was too lax, and he never imagined that someone would dare to come to commit murder.

After returning this time, he must investigate this person thoroughly.

Back at the hotel, Xu Ran made a phone call to Uncle Li, he told him what had just happened, and at the same time told the other party's purpose.

Uncle Li was silent for a while, and then asked in a deep voice, "How do you want me to help you." ”

Xu Ran wanted to borrow someone from him, and at the same time he had a hot weapon.

"No problem." When Uncle Li heard Xu Ran's words, he immediately agreed: "What kind of weapon do you want?" ”

"A heavy sniper and Fang Wei by your side."

"Tomorrow I will ask him to come and find you in person."
