Chapter 15: Who's in the Shadows
Xin Xiaoyue and Shang Yuetang took a taxi to Xin's house.
Xin Mansion is located in the west of Jincheng, which is an excellent location in Jincheng. Xin Mansion is an old-fashioned house, and Mr. Xin has a very discerning vision, so he bought it more than ten years ago. Although this Xin house is an old-fashioned house, it covers a large area and is considered a mansion.
And there are several old-fashioned mansions of this kind in this area, and the doors are all open on Sangqian Road.
Sangqian Road is a very old section of Jincheng and has very classical characteristics. The ginkgo tree is a street tree, both sides are dwellings, the dwellings are higher than the road surface, so there are high ridges made of blue stones on both sides, and on the high ridges, there are generally planted with roses, spring flowers, triangular plums and other plants, in the middle of the year, most of the time, the vines bloom, large clusters, and bloom very warmly.
However, no matter how beautiful the Sangqian Road is, it is the people's road.
In the past, tourists could take a walk on Sangqian Road at will and feel the classical charm of Jincheng.
In the past, taxis could enter and exit Sangqian Road and go directly to the entrance of Xin's house.
At this time, the taxi of the two was stopped at the intersection of Sangqian Road, saying that it was a temporary inspection on Sangqian Road, so vehicles were not allowed to enter and exit.
Xin Xiaoyue and Shang Yuetang naturally knew the reason for the road closure, and the two gave the car money and got out of the car.
"That's a big deal." Shang Yuetang sneered.
"Top 10 in the world!" Xin Xiaoyue replied nonchalantly, and glanced up at Sangqian Road, where large sections of the road were emptied, and there were people on duty on the side of the road.
"I don't know, I thought the leader was inspecting." Shang Yuetang also looked at Sang Qianlu, and his tone and expression were mocking.
"It's going to take you half an hour." Xin Xiaoyue patted Shang Yuetang, and there was no apology in her tone.
Shang Yuetang waved his hand and said, "This little road is not enough for me to stuff my teeth, so I should exercise." β
"Then let's go, Hongmen Feast." Xin Xiaoyue took Shang Yuetang and walked towards Sang Qianlu.
The two chatted all the way, and unconsciously walked to the gate of the Xin Mansion.
There were two men in black suits on duty at the door, and they politely stopped the two.
"I'm the second lady in this house, this is my classmate, and tonight is a family dinner." Xin Xiaoyue said.
Before the two of them could say that they wanted to verify further, Lao Xu, the housekeeper of the Xin Mansion, ran out and nodded to the two and said, "This is our second lady Xin Xiaoyue." β
"Second Miss, this one?" Lao Xu looked at Shang Yuetang again.
"Can't you take my classmates home for dinner?" Xin Xiaoyue asked rhetorically.
Lao Xu was stunned, the former second lady was knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, soft-spoken, and never embarrassed by others. But today's second miss seems to be different, her expression and tone are also very calm, but there is an indescribable momentum.
"Of course, of course, I'll go and report to the old man."
Lao Xu is a good person, and he thinks that at this time, it is better not to say more, and quickly throw the pot to the master, so he dropped a sentence and hurriedly flashed people.
The two black suits stopped the two and said, "Although we are going to the banquet, we are going to the security today, and we ask for your forgiveness and inspection." β
"Okay." Xin Xiaoyue is never embarrassed to do things, and she readily agreed.
The two of them saw a lot of rich family members, and the smaller the family, the more arrogant they became, they didn't expect this person to be so easy to speak, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and routinely used the instrument to carry out a blasting scan.
"Can I go in?" Xin Xiaoyue asked with a smile.
"I'm sorry, two beauties, and the bag in your hand, andβ" The two of them were a little unable to continue, because this was a really rare beauty, and she spoke kindly.
"Search, huh?" Xin Xiaoyue's tone was still calm.
"I'm sorry." The tall and lanky man was apologetic.
"It's a big joke, when you go back to your own home, you actually want to search your body?" Shang Yuetang is not so pleasant, and her eyes are as bright as knives.
"I ask for your forgiveness." The tall and lanky man's tone was still apologetic.
Xin Xiaoyue didn't want to embarrass the two inconsequential security guards, so she said to Shang Yuetang: "Where their responsibilities are, let's not be embarrassed." β
"Thank you for your understanding." The two security guards thanked each other at the same time, thinking that this person was really beautiful and kind.
"It's just that although it is a new era, there are differences between men and women, and women also have a clear reputation. You two big men search us, it's not appropriate, right? Xin Xiaoyue said unhurriedly.
"How can we do such a ridiculous thing. The two of them rest assured, it is naturally a woman to execute. The two hurriedly said.
"That's it, that's fine." Xin Xiaoyue said and handed over her handbag.
There are very few things in the bag, wallets, tissues, keys, mobile phones are all regular things.
Only a dagger and a flashlight need to be checked patiently.
The dagger was too small to fit into the legally defined controlled knives. But the pattern on the dagger scabbard is very delicate, and at first glance it is not an ordinary item.
The tall and thin man pulled out the dagger, and the dagger suddenly flashed cold.
Even if they are ordinary security guards, they can see that this is not an ordinary dagger, if they can use it, it must be a murderous weapon.
The faces of the two security guards suddenly changed, and Jiang Chengyou, who was looking at the surveillance, also changed.
The tall and thin security guard was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't bring this dagger in." β
"It's okay, it's always safe in your own home, you don't need this." Xin Xiaoyue replied fluently, her eyebrows were calm, and she deliberately raised her head slightly and looked at the newly installed surveillance on the lintel.
The surveillance on the lintel is small and not easy to detect. But Wang Xuan is a good teacher, and she is Wang Xuan's apprentice. She can still see such small means.
Newly installed surveillance, there must be someone watching everything at the door.
When she glanced at it, she was looking at the person behind the surveillance.
Jiang Chengyou was looking at everything at the door, but he didn't expect her to suddenly raise his head at the surveillance, and he was startled.
"This look-" It was his henchman Jiang Yuan who was watching the security with Jiang Chengyou, and he was also startled by Xin Xiaoyue's sudden raising of his eyes.
"It's an interesting person, no wonder the calm Lao Jiu is also tempted." Jiang Chengyou said.
"Tempting ......" Jiang Yuan was speechless about the words of his boss, and asked cautiously, "Are you sure that you use this word appropriately?" β
"Oh, appropriate." Jiang Chengyou is very confident in his words. However, he complained in his heart: This Xin Xiaoyue is indeed interesting, and if it is him, he can't ignore it.
"Then we will put it at this door, and when today's family banquet is over, we will return it to the second lady." The tall, thin man snapped the dagger down.
Xin Xiaoyue nodded, and the two security guards fiddled with the flashlight for a while, only to find that it was a small LED flashlight.
"In the university dormitory building, there are places where the light is dim, and the flashlight is just carried with you. Need me to stay here? Xin Xiaoyue asked with a smile.
The two security guards thought that they would rather kill by mistake than let go, so they turned off the flashlight. Unexpectedly, the instructions of the big boss came from the headset: this flashlight, let her bring it in.
"No, no." The two security guards spoke in unison, hurriedly put the flashlight into the bag, and respectfully handed the handbag to Xin Xiaoyue.
