Chapter 419: Sneak Attack
The Hopkins Cinema, the city's premier private cinema, has a history of more than 70 years.
It is said that his first owner, Mr. Hopkins, was a movie enthusiast who treasured thousands of early film clips, but accidentally lost everything due to a fire, so he had to sell his beloved movie theater.
The Bruno family bought it, renovated it and opened it to the public, but retained its original name.
"The current owner of this cinema is Rand's cousin, who is also a businessman of the Bruno family, and I heard that the two families have a good personal relationship."
Thinking of the information he had just seen, Fu Jinxing lowered his voice and said to Ming Ruiyuan and Meng Zhiyu beside him.
"So what? I still don't believe it, he invited us here, do you really dare to kill someone? β
Ming Ruiyuan's child's temper came up again, and he pursed his lips disdainfully, as if he felt too much for Fu Jinxing's caution.
"Anyway, once you're inside, try not to separate the two of you."
Fu Jinxing reminded while signaling to Meng Zhiyu with his eyes.
"Got it."
She didn't look reluctant anymore, but replied very cooperatively.
Meng Zhiyu's attitude made Ming Ruiyuan a little confused, didn't she hate herself very much?
How can you change your body and stay with yourself again?
However, Octavia can't care so much.
He would never miss a chance to be alone with her.
He even felt that it would be nice if Mu Jingyi locked himself in the cellar with her.
"Alright, let's go inside."
Fu Jinxing took the lead and walked in.
The pattern of Hopkins is still the same as before, at first glance, it looks a little old, but in fact, it is just a one-to-one imitation according to the original appearance, ensuring the imprint of that era.
As soon as the three of them walked into the movie theater, a man in a suit greeted them and said with a smile: "Excuse me, is it Mr. Fu?" β
Fu Jinxing sneered: "Where is Mu Jingyi?" β
The man replied without changing his face: "Our boss has been waiting for three of us for more than three hours, please come with me." β
After a pause, he added: "The movie has already begun, please keep quiet and try to slow down." β
Ming Ruiyuan couldn't stand it anymore, and blurted out: "Did you really invite us to watch a movie?" I think he's just trying to play tricks......"
In the face of his accusations, the man in the suit was not angry, but the smile on his face deepened a little.
He patiently explained: "It's that I didn't make it clear, this is not an ordinary movie, but our boss trusted a lot of relationships and spent a huge amount of money to get it." Also, since it is pronounced on a wax plate, it takes a lot of effort to play it out with modern equipment......"
For what he said, Ming Ruiyuan didn't understand it, and he didn't want to hear it.
He interrupted the man in the suit: "Alright, you can take us there." β
Seeing that he had no respect for art, the man in the suit had no choice but to silence, shook his head helplessly, and led the way in front.
Bringing the three of them to one of the innermost screening rooms, the man made a gesture to invite them in.
He couldn't help but remind again: "Please try to take your steps as lightly as possible." β
Octavia glanced at him from afar and pushed the door in.
Meng Zhiyu followed, and Fu Jinxing waited for the man in the suit to leave, and then took out a thin card without a trace and put it between the door locks to prevent someone from locking it.
After doing all this, he followed Ming Ruiyuan and Meng Zhiyu, and walked to the back seat by the faint light from the big screen.
Fu Jinxing looked around and recognized that this was the most luxurious and private screening hall in the entire movie theater, and it also had the least seats, only one hundred and thirty-eight.
In the middle sat a few old men with gray hair, looking intently at the screen in front of them.
The quality of the picture of the old movie, to be honest, really does not dare to compliment.
Although the film is obviously restored, it can only be regarded as a sentimental and lively watch at best.
It's just that for them, this is already a happier thing than the New Year.
Ming Ruiyuan had already found Mu Jingyi's figure in the corner, he was sitting in a dark place, very inconspicuous.
"Why are you ......?"
As soon as he saw Mu Jingyi, Ming Ruiyuan was obviously angry, and he was just about to ask clearly, Mu Jingyi immediately raised his right index finger and put it on his lips.
"Shh
Octavia Yuan glared at him angrily, turned his head and glanced at the shadowy figure on the big screen, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
It's fucking insane!
In addition to Ming Ruiyuan, there are also Meng Zhiyu, and she doesn't know why, she can't figure out what Mu Jingyi wants to do.
"Sit."
Mu Jingyi pointed to the seat next to him, his eyes still watching the movie.
Ming Ruiyuan and Meng Zhiyu didn't want to be next to him, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and retreated to the side.
Fu Jinxing, who was left behind, sat down beside Mu Jingyi without giving up.
When he sat down, Ming Ruiyuan and Meng Zhiyu also sat down.
"Mr. Mu really has Yaxing, oh no, it should be said that he is really rich. This is a copy of the first domestic sound film "Singing Girl Red Peony", which was once auctioned by Nanyang people at a high price, and is also known as "a pioneer in the film industry". Unexpectedly, Mr. Tomu's blessing, we can see this old movie in a foreign country. β
It didn't seem that Fu Jinxing could know so much, Mu Jingyi finally turned his face and looked at him in surprise.
"It is worthy of Fu Jinxing, who is rich in five cars, and even knows this. I thought that today was another day to play the piano to the cow. β
As he spoke, he looked at Ming Ruiyuan out of the corner of his eye, obviously dissatisfied with the latter's previous performance.
"It's natural for children to not understand these old things. What's more, he, like you, grew up abroad since he was a child. β
Fu Jinxing smiled and pointed to Ruiyuan.
"Well, now that you know what this is, you should also know how difficult it is to get it done, so let's enjoy it together."
Mu Jing said in a low voice, and then stopped talking.
The elderly people sitting in the front row were even more engrossed, unaware of what was happening behind.
After watching it for a few more minutes, Octavia Yuan couldn't sit still, not to mention that he couldn't understand what was being said in this movie, just that this kind of picture quality, this kind of sound quality, was enough for him to be on the verge of collapse.
"What kind of mess is this!"
After enduring it for a long time, Ming Ruiyuan couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up directly, and walked towards the door without looking back.
Walking to the door, he saw that Ming Ruiyuan was about to step out of the door, but Mu Jingyi didn't pay attention to it, but looked like he was going to let it go.
Fu Jinxing turned his head to look at the door, with a trace of confusion and faint worry between his eyebrows.
The more indifferent Mu Jingyi became, the more dangerous it was!
Sure enough, as soon as Octavia pushed open the door, the man in the suit who was in charge of leading the way appeared in front of him, holding an automatic pistol that had been installed*.
"This gentleman, let's go back and watch the movie well, and don't disappoint our boss."
The man in the suit smiled, and there were four tall men standing behind him, who were the bodyguards who had been following Mu Jingyi.
"What if I don't go back?"
Octavia was like a little wolf, baring his teeth at him, revealing his gums.
"Then you have to ask me if I agree to this gun in my hand!"
The man in the suit was still smiling, but the hand holding the gun moved forward a few centimeters further, full of threat.
"Really?"
Octavia snorted coldly, still maintaining a posture of putting one hand in his trouser pocket and never taking it out.
One against five, four of them are mercenaries, and he doesn't have any chance of winning.
Although Ming Ruiyuan is crazy, he is not stupid.
"Your boss didn't give you the order to shoot, do you really want to kill me?"
He asked, like a scoundrel.
"Mr. Mu said, extraordinary times, extraordinary practices, if you are really unwilling to cooperate, we also have the right to cut first and then play."
The man in the suit was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he specially accentuated the tone of the words "cut first and then play".
"Okay, I'll just go back and watch it, I don't know what I'm babbling about, I can't understand it."
Octavia muttered and grumbled, turning to leave.
Seeing that he compromised, the man in the suit breathed a sigh of relief.
At the moment when he put the gun down, Ming Ruiyuan, who had already turned around, suddenly turned around, squatted down his legs, and at the same time pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket and raised it horizontally!
I saw a few flashes of silver light, so fast that it was almost impossible to see what it was.
The light and shadow flew by, followed by several screams, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground!
The man in the suit didn't care to look back, so he subconsciously raised his hand and fired two shots frantically at Octavia!
"Bang bangβ"
As soon as the gunshots rang out, everyone in the screening hall naturally heard it.
The white-haired old men sitting in front of them were stunned for a moment, then they all stood up, supported each other, and hurriedly left from the safe passage.
"Octavia!"
Meng Zhiyu was also stunned, she originally thought that he went out to the bathroom, but she didn't know that it was just a blink of an eye, and there was a gunshot at the door.
She knew very well that Ming Ruiyuan did not have a gun on his body, so the person who shot must not be him, but the person who was shot may be him!
"It seems that your little friend has a short temper and angered my men."
In this regard, Mu Jing was not surprised, nor did he have any special expression, he sat firmly in his position and said lightly.
"You madman! You called us here, what the hell did you watch a movie, and you got someone to shoot......"
Meng Zhiyu couldn't care about being scared anymore, pointed at Mu Jingyi with his finger, and shouted angrily.
At the same time, Octavia Yuan had also been pressed to the ground.
A large amount of bright red viscous blood flowed from his lower abdomen, and a bullet pierced his intestines, causing severe blood loss.
Not far away, there were also several pools of blood, and there were several silver four-pointed star darts scattered on the ground, and the sharp corners were stained with blood.
Ming Ruiyuan gritted his teeth, looked at the man in the suit who shot him viciously, and said with a cruel smile: "You should be glad that your feet are still growing on your body, instead of being cut off......"
"Hmph, it's just a few inferior darts, do you want to cut the flesh and bones?"
The man in the suit glanced back, and the pants of the bodyguards had darkened and were soaked in blood.
