"Wait!" I shouted at the bald man, "Let go of Lan Kexin, she is from the Lan family, aren't you afraid at all?" ”

The bald head said contemptuously, "It seems that you still don't know what 'Slim Stranger' is." ”

My mind was racing fast, and I didn't seem to be worried about provoking the Lan family at all when I heard what he meant? Just now he said that he was more afraid of her identity as a public figure than Lan Kexin's identity as the eldest lady of the Lan family. Could it be that the Slim Stranger is a kind of existence that is helpless for all families on the high round platform?

Why is she so jealous of Lan Kexin's identity as a public figure? I guess: if something happens in this hotel with Lan Kexin's popularity, it will definitely cause an uproar in all aspects, and the situation in the hotel at this time will definitely be traced to the end.

"In any case, if Lan Kexin has an accident here, you will all get into trouble, so it's better to let her go." I said, "As for me, I'll go out with you, and I won't have to deal with the corpse." ”

The man's eyes suddenly brightened, "That's a good idea, I'm kind of fond of you." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, "You don't deserve me." ”

"Don't ......" Lan Kexin suddenly grabbed my hand, and the indescribable panic in her eyes said, "I'll go wherever you go!" ”

The bald man looked at us quietly, his eyes full of banter, as if he was waiting for us to make an affectionate confession and another parting of life and death. I hated his condescending, ant-like eyes, and this disgust even outweighed my fear of death.

"Aren't you leaving?" I asked the bald man.

The bald man pondered for a while, and said, "I changed my mind, even if I take you away, there is no guarantee that Lan Kexin will not talk nonsense afterwards." She is such a famous character, if she gets on the bar with us afterwards, I won't be picked up by the owner when I go back? ”

With that, the bald man stretched out his hand to the mercenary behind us, who willingly handed him the gun in his hand. I subconsciously protected Lan Kexin behind me and stared at him.

The bald man turned around and fired a few shots at the windowpane, but it wasn't loud because of the silencer. After a shuttle of bullets, the strong tempered glass has several holes. He got up and kicked the window hard, and the whole piece of glass shattered in an instant.

"That's it, if you jump down from here, then Lan Kexin, who is in the same room as you, will be the most suspicious, and it's useless for her to say anything afterwards." The bald man said.

"What do you mean...... If I jump down by myself, you'll let Lan Kexin go? ”

The man smiled contemptuously, "Why, I still wanted to be a hero just now, but now I'm hesitating again?" ”

I shook my head, "I hope you keep your word." "Since I myself am already mortal, I don't need to hesitate at all if I can save Lan Kexin.

I walked forward, only to find that Lan Kexin was still holding my hand and standing in place. Her eyes were already red, and she couldn't cry, "Don't ...... Chen Mo ......"

I touched her cheek and comforted, "It's better to die one than to die together." ”

Strange to say, the first time I was so close to death, I didn't feel much emotion. Originally, I was an ordinary student, and I will definitely live an ordinary life in the future. But my bastard father is not ordinary, and my background determines that I will definitely be pulled into such a vortex in the future. Ironically, I didn't understand until I died.

My words made Lan Kexin stunned for a long time, and her eyes when she looked at me were no longer the previous panic, but replaced by indescribable tenderness.

"Then let's die together."

I looked at her in amazement, speechless for a moment.

"I'm tired of it," Lan Kexin bowed her head and muttered, "I haven't lived my own life since I was a child, so at least let me decide for myself in this matter." ”

After saying that, she held my hand tighter and led me to the window. The wind howled in the air on the seventeenth floor, instantly messing up her hair. I looked at her figure, like a piece of sky that I had borrowed, with clear outlines. And the city in front of me is filthy and there is no edge in sight.

We stand on the edge of the world, fingers interlocked, and we don't see the slightest cowardice in each other's eyes. Perhaps we should be afraid of everything, but we should not be afraid of death.

Looking back on my short life, most of it was a waste. Fortunately, my mother still has a statement, and fortunately, at least there are still people who are willing to "not break with me".

"This is the woman of the world." At some point, the bald man was already standing behind us. He clasped his fists and bowed to us deeply, "In the North Fox, if there is an afterlife, I will not tire of it!" ”

Lan Kexin and I looked at each other and smiled, and walked forward......

"Stay!" Suddenly, the voice of the Winged North Fox came from behind me again, and I turned around to see him holding his forehand to his ear, as if someone was conveying something to him.

Yibei Fox set his eyes on Lan Kexin and said, "Our young owner said that he wants to see Miss Lan." ”

……

The Winged North Fox had already left with two of his men. Because the glass window next to the master bedroom was gone, Lan Kexin couldn't sleep there. At this time, she and I were lying on the bed in the guest bedroom, originally I meant to go to the sofa next to me to spend the night, but Lan Kexin said that in this way she would have a sense of security. Thinking back to what happened just now, the cold sweat has not stopped until now.

"What are you thinking?" In the dark, Lan Kexin "looked" at me and asked.

"I'm thinking...... Fortunately, they have few owners who are interested in you. ”

Lan Kexin held my hand and put it on her cheek, and said, "Chen Mo, I'll tell you about you and your father now, all I know is the matter. ”

"You...... Can it really be said? ”

"I don't know. From the family's point of view, I shouldn't have said it, and my father forbade me to tell you. But I can't care so much about it, I'm afraid that if you continue like this, you will be sacrificed again without knowing it. ”

Then, Lan Kexin told me everything she knew. In fact, I don't have any secrets, the focus is on my father, Chen Bicheng.

The reason why Chen Bicheng made the people of the twelve families so jealous was because of his identity, the president of the China Chamber of Commerce, and the leader of an executive unit. In principle, all the resolutions passed on the 'high round platform' should be implemented by the Chamber of Commerce. However, the chamber of commerce mechanism has been established for many years, and it has gradually broken away from the high round platform, and many leaders of the chamber of commerce are dissatisfied with the monopoly system of the twelve. But this contradiction has not yet reached a critical point, and a delicate balance has been maintained between the Twelve, the Chamber of Commerce, and the ordinary family.

And Chen Bicheng, who was promoted to president not long ago, is slowly breaking this balance! The first target is the Gu family!

The Gu family runs the largest black market in the country, "Gu Ge", and is even very influential internationally. Not long ago, Gao Yuantai suddenly made a resolution to deny the legitimacy of the "Ancient Pavilion" in China, and the initiator was the Huangcheng family. But the Gu family, with their own strength, did not pass the resolution. Since then, the Gu family and Huangcheng have completely torn their faces. And the Chamber of Commerce, which has always been neutral, even has the intention of leaning towards the Huangcheng family this time. The intention against the Gu family could not be more obvious!

"Once Chen Bicheng joins the battle, his strength is extraordinary. As soon as the Gu family falls, it is inevitable that he will take advantage of the situation to point the finger at the other twelve families. So you, Chen Bicheng's son, have become the life-savers of the other twelve families! Now your existence has involved Huangcheng, Loulan, and our Lan family. As soon as you die, the three families will immediately fall into embarrassment, whether Chen Bicheng will be angry with us, so that the Gu family will have a chance to breathe, it is really hard to say. The truth of checks and balances, a character like him must understand. ”

"If the stakes are high, why aren't you twelve people willing to tell me the truth?"

Lan Kexin sighed, "It has something to do with your experience, because you are not a child of a family." Maybe in your mind, you still hate us families very much, right? Therefore, Hikoichi and Kirika's idea is not to tell you the truth until you are completely assimilated into a child of the family, which is also unanimously approved by the twelve. Otherwise, if you pull out, we will have less chips to involve Chen Bicheng, and the situation will be even more chaotic. ”

I see, no wonder...... It's no wonder that Kirika has been seducing me with things like spending money, luring me into getting used to their consumerist lifestyle. Is this really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift?
