Opening chapter one
On an autumn night, the mercury-like moonlight playfully shines through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of a single-family house, illuminating half of the roomβthis should be a study. Everywhere is quiet, and the owner of the villa does not seem to be at home.
However, at such a quiet moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open silently, and two black shadows, one tall and one short, flashed in ghostly. They first leaned against the wall and quickly scanned the room, and then immediately began to rummage through the cabinets, which seemed to be two thieves, but because they had their heads and faces covered tightly with their woolen hats, they could not tell what they looked like, or even their gender.
After a while, as if they had not found their prey, the tall one became impatient and muttered, "Where are you hiding?" Uncle Qiang shouldn't be wrong, the customer must have told him that he was in the study on the second floor. β
The short man ignored him, and stuck to the wall like a gecko, groping and knocking.
"Hey, summer night, I don't think something is hidden here, that person must be mistaken." Saying that, he smiled dumbly, and said softly, "You said that this world is so unfair, some people are just stupid people with money, and they signed that kind of contract, so they have to spend money to settle with us." According to me, it is not surprising that this man is so confused that he said the wrong place. β
However, the short man named Summer Night ignored him.
The tall man followed behind his ass a little unwillingly, and suggested, "Let's find another room, don't hang yourself from a tree." β
"Shhhh The short voice was thin but decisive, sounding like a woman.
"Found it?" The tall one immediately asked with some excitement.
Summer Night stood in front of a row of mahogany bookcases behind her desk, illuminated by the moonlight, and her hands were groping behind them. Suddenly, she felt a strange bulge, and when she pressed it hard, she saw a bookcase as high as one person, and suddenly and silently slid to both sides, revealing a safe behind her.
"I'll go, this guy, hide deep enough." Light took a sip, but he could tell he was excited.
Summer Night pulled out a string of fine metal tools from his pocket, and then almost pressed his upper body tightly against the safe, and tinkered with full concentration, the eyes that were exposed to the outside flashed with an abnormal, excited and anxious light.
As soon as I got a cigarette, I heard a soft 'card' sound, and the lock of the safe was broken.
"Summer Night, you are really a master, amazing!" The tall man on the side couldn't wait to pull the door of the safe, but was blocked by his body in the summer night.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The tall man's tone was a little unpleasant.
Xia Ye glanced at him, lowered his voice and said, "Guangzai, if you want to open this safe, let's make things clear first." β
"What, what's the matter?" Guang Zai was a little weak-hearted, and his eyes flickered.
"You say, did Uncle Qiang send you to spy on me?"
"Hey, hey, summer night, look at what you said, Uncle Qiang is afraid that you will not be able to do it alone, and he wants me to help you."
Xia Ye suddenly stretched out his right hand, patted Guangzai's face a few times lightly and said: "Don't pour me soup, I have long felt that something is wrong, you say, why do you always let you follow me every time you act in the past year?" This time, while Uncle Qiang is away, you tell me the truth, otherwise ......"
Guangzai looked at Xia Ye tangledly, and said pitifully: "You know to force me, just ask Uncle Qiang if you want to go." β
"Smack!"
Guang Zai ate a palm on his head, and roared in a depressed manner in the summer night: "Stinky boy, I dare to ask Uncle Qiang?" Besides, if I ask him, he will say? β
"Oops." Guang Zai rubbed his head aggrievedly but didn't dare to attack, but this time also aroused his courage, he put on a look of death, and said to Xia Ye with his neck twisted, "Xia Ye, can't you say something well?" I always like to do my hands, who else can you marry? β
Summer Night glared at him and raised her hand at him again.
"Okay, I know you've learned Sanda Grappling Kung Fu, I'll just tell you no." Guang Zai paused and said, "Uncle Qiang cut off two of your fingers a year ago, and later found out that it was a mistake, and you didn't swallow the money at all, so I was afraid that you would hate him and not do things well." So...... You're satisfied! β
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, raised his left hand and put it in front of him to look at it, and the last two fingers were missing from the brush brush on that hand.
"Hmph, how dare I." Xia Ye sneered in her heart, she finally knew why Uncle Qiang had been angry with her recently, it turned out that it was for this matter, he was ruthless and suspicious, and he used drugs to control their subordinates like dogs. Anyway, when she sees Uncle Qiang, it's like a mouse seeing a cat.
Seeing that Xia Ye didn't speak, Guang Zai said curtly: "I said that you are really, wouldn't it be okay to explain clearly to Uncle Qiang, you and him are not at a loss." β
Summer Night snorted sullenly and turned sideways to let the safe out.
"Actually, Uncle Qiang is also afraid of losing you, we can organize anyone less, but you can't do it, your ability to unlock the lock is God's reward for food, not something anyone can do if they want to." Seeing her get out of the way, Guang Zai flattered her in a good mood.
Summer Night thought to herself: What is so glorious about this kind of theft organization. I was irritable in my heart, and I whispered: "Don't hurry up yet." β
Guang Zai hurriedly shut up, and Xia Ye retreated to the side, half-resting his butt on the corner of the desk, but his eyes immediately became a little lonely.
"My god grandpa Sister Guanyin, this, this, what a, so much money!" The light boy who opened the safe was already incoherent with excitement.
Summer Night raised her eyes curiously, and sure enough, the safe was full of saffron hundred-dollar bills. Guang Tsai was at a loss to pick up and put down the money, put it down and pick it up, not knowing what to do.
"Guangzai, don't worry about the money for now, see if the contract is taken away quickly, Uncle Qiang has collected people's money." The summer night reminds him not to forget his original intention.
"Contract? Are you stupid? This money is enough for us to eat and drink for half a lifetime. Guang Tsai didn't listen to the words of the summer night at all, and then he took off his coat and spread it on the ground in a trembling state, as if he was planning to pack the money and take it with him.
Xia Ye jumped off the desk, slapped Guang Zai on the back of the head, shook his left hand with two broken fingers desperately in front of his eyes, and said sharply: "Stinky boy, you don't want to die, look at my hand, I didn't touch Uncle Qiang's money like this, you dare to swallow so much money in private, and he won't divide your body." β
"Hehe, summer night, Uncle Qiang only told us to steal the contract, but he didn't say anything about the money, this box of banknotes is what we deserve." Light Boy's eyes glowed with a dark red light, and his voice trembled a little, and he kept holding the money to the ground as he spoke.
Xia Ye felt that he was lost in money, and decided to find the contract first, at least there would be an explanation at that time.
There was not only money in the safe, but also some documents and other things, and the summer night turned over a few things, and then an inconspicuous, gray thing in the corner suddenly attracted her attention, it seemed to have some kind of power, and the summer night ghost took it out by surprise.
However, as she first moved the thing, she felt a slight 'click', but strong curiosity prevailed over caution, and she still held the strange thing in her hand.
By the moonlight, Xia Ye saw this coiled thing in his hand, gray, gray, green, and green, a little cold to the touch, like a stone and like jade, similar to some kind of prank crafts popular on the market, but the color made people feel that it was not fresh. But if you look closely, it looks like a snake......
When I was looking at it in the summer night, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and then a hoarse voice shouted: "What person? β
Guang Tsai jumped three feet high, picked up the coat full of banknotes, and rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window without looking back, and when he opened the window, the money was spilled all over the ground, and he couldn't care so much, jumped off the balcony, and disappeared in an instant. Summer Night gasped, wanting to talk about this ability to escape, she could only bow to the wind, and when she reacted and ran to the balcony, she was hit by a heavy object in the back of the head, and she fainted in front of her.
When she woke up in the summer night, she found that she had been thrown on the sofa with her hands tied behind her back, and she saw that strange handicraft was on the coffee table in front of her, a sunny and handsome but somewhat pale boy, sitting diagonally opposite her with Erlang's legs crossed.
"You know this thing?" Without waiting for the summer night to speak, the sunny man pointed to the-like handicraft and asked, his nasal voice was very heavy, as if he had a severe cold, and his eyes were bloodshot, but he was shining with excitement.
Summer Night was furious with him, and he thought: What does this mean? Shouldn't he have sneered and told her that the police were still a few minutes away? But the young man in front of him, he looked at her like an old father who hated to marry a girl, and finally saw a marriageable young man who knew the goods, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Xia Yemu's stunned appearance, the sunny man couldn't help frowning, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his tone was a little unhappy: "You don't know? So why did you steal it? β
yes, why are you flirting with my daughter if you don't want to marry her? Summer Night actually heard such a voice. She couldn't help but shake her head, no! Focused, she had to find a way to escape from this man.
"Well, I seem to have seen this thing somewhere before, so I'm curious to take it out and take a look." Xia Ye worked under Uncle Qiang, and she would observe words and emotions very early, and her intuition told her that Sunshine Man wanted to find someone to confirm the value of that thing.
"Really? Where have you seen it, and what do you say? The sunny man suddenly became interested, put down Erlang's legs, and almost threw his upper body on Xia Ye's body, his handsome face forced in front of Xia Ye, and she suddenly felt a little out of breath.
"It's on TV or online, I forgot."
"It's all on TV? How could I not have seen it? The sunshine man muttered, as if he felt incredible.
Summer Night looked at his expression, and suddenly a bold idea occurred in his heart, that is, this ugly-looking thing was a cultural relic, and this man got it from nowhere, but he couldn't be sure of its value.
"What did you just hit me in the head?" Summer Night asked suddenly, as her head began to tingle.
"Huh? Oh, it's the phone. You're so the head, you smashed my phone. The sunny man curled the corners of his mouth wickedly, as if he thought it was funny.
Who? What he cares about is his mobile phone, isn't he afraid of smashing people to death?
"What are you going to do with me?" Summer Night felt her headache grow worse and spread to all her limbs, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart, but she managed to keep her composure.
"If you tell me what this thing has to offer, I'll let you go."
"Then tell me first, where did this thing come from?"
ββ¦β¦ A friend dug it up in his old house and sold it to me for five thousand......"
"Actuallyβ" Summer Night had just said these words when she suddenly fell down with a scream. It was as if thousands of ants had instantly burrowed into her body, scrambling to gnaw at her flesh and bones, but she knew that this was just the beginning.
Summer Night, like a fish thrown ashore and struggling, rolled her eyes and struggled to spit out a few words from her mouth: "Powder, **, give it to me!" β
"You, you...... Are you on drugs?! β
Summer Night heard the voice of the sunny man buzzing in her ears, and his voice was like an awl, and her head was about to crack. She screamed in pain and rolled off the couch, spun around the room with her untied legs.
The sunny man watched in amazement as Summer Night rampaged through the house like a madman, either knocking out the furniture or herself. After a moment's hesitation, he rushed forward and hugged her tightly from behind.

I don't know how long it took.
