1. Goodbye

The carpet with black and gold inlays covers the entire hall, the dome is surrounded by exquisite carvings in the retro European style, and the giant crystal lamps are luxurious and exquisite, covering them layer by layer, and the statue of Apollo on the mural has a wide and far-reaching gaze, and the facial features on the side are upright and upright, and the divine light is long.

The fire in the fireplace was lit up, and from time to time there was the crackling sound of dead branches burning out, and the echo was clear in the hall.

The long staircase is infinitely high, the top floor is two sofa chairs with extremely high backs, the color of burgundy is no different from dark blood, the solid wood armrests are inlaid with black gold carvings, very luxurious, there is a hand on it, white and transparent, every knuckle is beautifully shaped, extending upwards, it is like a beautiful jaw of snow-capped mountain Qiongyu, the bridge of the nose has a good arc, the eyes are extremely deep double eyelids, the inside is white and clear, the black is far away, the eyelashes are slightly lifted and the gaze is cold and indifferent, swept away and cold, but without any murderous aura, the voice is cold:" He won't agree to your request, go back. ”

The girl's figure was covered by a wide English-style snow cloak, a butterfly brooch pinned to her neck, her hair was covered with unmelted snow on her shoulders, her long hair was covered softly, she raised her head slightly, took two steps forward, and her blue pupils were firm and anxious: "Grandpa said that as long as I complete the task, I will bring my mother back from China." ”

The man at the top looked at him lightly and coldly, took a sip of the delicate white porcelain coffee cup on the low table next to him, and his voice sounded a little careless: "You just killed a person." ”

This man, with his noble gestures, has no trace of dust between his eyebrows, and even if he speaks, his voice can't hear any emotion: "The Jane family's black market trading in Rucheng has not ended, and I haven't heard the news of the police's involvement in the investigation......"

"But I killed Lord Jane. ”

Dai Xijiu interrupted him, his steps were urgent, he had already walked up the stairs, his voice was rarely fierce, and the sound was a little harsh in the empty hall: "Isn't the life of the head of the Jane family enough to come back for my mother?"

The man's fingers holding the cup stopped in mid-air, put it down, and lifted his eyelashes indifferently and ruthlessly, saying that it was a rhetorical question, more like a statement: "Elvis family's child, which one has not killed anyone?"

"I sent you to Rucheng to end the Jian family's control over the underground of Rucheng and completely disintegrate. If you kill a Jian Jue, the Jian family will not stop operating, and the purpose has not been achieved at all. ”

Dai Xijiu's eyes were timid, his palm pressed to his chest, as if he thought of something, his eyes were empty for a moment, and then dimmed: "I was robbed, and the action was forced to terminate ......"

The man was obviously not interested in her reason at all, and the skin on the side of his face was transparent, like the melting snow in the deep winter snow, and his tone was light: "You are just doing what every child of the Ace family will do, and has done." It's not enough to be a bargaining chip for you to negotiate terms. ”

Dai Xijiu's fingers curled slightly, pressed and scratched into his palm.

The girl's figure stood in the empty hall, the snow on her cloak had melted, and her shoulders and arms trembled slightly.

God knows how much courage it takes to kill someone.

But even if she has already taken a life, she can't exchange her mother's life.

Half a year ago, his mother was seriously ill, and the next day he was ordered by his grandfather to be sent back to China, and he missed the high-end medical equipment of the Elvis family, and then Dai Xijiu received the task of Rucheng, until this time, the hot summer has turned into deep winter, and she can't even know where her biological mother is.

Dai Xijiu's expression collapsed, she raised her head slightly, her blue pupils were covered with layers of water, and she took a few steps forward to get close to the man's side, standing at the top of the stairs, her thin body was pitiful between her eyebrows: "Then can you tell me, what exactly do you have to do, how far to be qualified to see grandpa?"

The man looked at Dai Xijiu who was standing in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and the wind and snow surged up layer by layer, like a sharp blade with ice, looking into the darkness from afar.

People who were dressed in darkness in all directions had already rushed over in an instant, but in the next second, they received a second look from the man.

Back off

At this moment, Dai Xijiu turned his back to everyone, only one hand was raised slightly, and the wide woolen snow cloak covered the figures of the two of them, and his eyes were still faintly cowardly and helpless, but a fingernail-sized blade was pressed between his fingers, cutting close to the man's beautifully shaped jaw, and his voice was extremely soft and cold: "Brother Fu Zhi, according to what you say, is it that as long as you do something that the children of the Ace family can't do, and no one dares to do, grandpa will agree?"

Fu Zhi didn't see the slightest panic, but frowned lightly between his eyebrows, frowning over the beautiful curves of ice melting snow cracks, his expression was already surprising.

Who doesn't know that the youngest daughter of the Elvis family is the most useless, cowardly, afraid of things, and very stupid, plus even her mother is just a lover, in such a thriving big family, she is not as valued as the children of collateral relatives.

It seems that reality and legend, some things may be very far off.

Fu Zhi couldn't help but raise his eyes, and glanced at the woman in front of him lightly, according to the rumored IQ level, he had to confirm it again.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Dai Xijiu certainly knew what he was doing, Fu Zhi's identity, in addition to being the adopted son of the Ace family, was more of the current head of the family, that is, her grandfather's most powerful arm.

Even if he doesn't know the slightest fighting skill, rarely even uses a gun, and doesn't have a high-profile status, he is still an existence that can determine the fate of all the Ace family with a single word, and he has much more power and business in his hands than her sister who is the prospective heir.

It's not about blood, it's about ability.

But these have nothing to do with Dai Xijiu, at this moment she tilted her head slightly, and her smile was indifferent with a bit of purity: "I think you should know better than me what I am doing." ”

Fu Zhi paused for a moment, and the corners of his lips actually hooked up a slightly invisible arc: "Do you want to kill me and then die with your mother?"

The blade in Dai Xijiu's hand pressed a few points in, and blood immediately gushed out: "Let grandpa come out to see me, you know, kill you, I can see him too." ”

Fu Zhi lifted his eyelids slightly, his long and thick eyelashes bypassed his eye sockets, casting a weak and shallow shadow from the roots, the graceful arc of his jaw moved lightly, and a bright red color slid over his fair skin, and his voice was faint: "Yes, give you a chance to convince me." ”

Dai Xijiu's long eyelashes curled lightly, and he pondered for a moment: "I have something here, he will definitely be interested." ”

When these words fell, Fu Zhi's cold and quiet eyes fell on Dai Xijiu's face for a moment, and then he turned his head slightly towards the side of the darkness, his eyelashes were lowered, his head was slightly bowed, and his voice was rare and respectful: "Patriarch, do you need it?"

In such a tone, he didn't take into account the blade that fell on his neck at all, as if if the other party didn't need it, even if he died, he wouldn't give Dai Xijiu any other possibility.

The Elvis family's council hall is luxurious and empty, and no matter how gorgeous and brilliant it is, a single crystal is not enough to illuminate it all. Therefore, Dai Xijiu followed Fu Zhi's gaze and looked over, only to see a sitting humanoid silhouette in the bottomless darkness, not tall, and even a little rickety, his voice was hoarse, and he was old: "Daisy, it is very rude for you to treat your brother like this." ”

Dai Xijiu's eyes flickered, and his face was only stunned for a moment, and then he actually looked up and looked straight over: "I only know that in Elvis, purpose is definitely more important than politeness. ”

There was a moment of silence in the cold space, as if he was contemplatively looking, looking at the granddaughter in front of him who he had never paid attention to, and then suddenly a low guttural laugh sounded: "Very good, after so many years, you finally have such an awareness now, grandpa is happy for you." ”

"So, son, tell me, what do you have in your hands?"

The blade in Dai Xijiu's hand did not retreat for half a minute, and his blue pupils were clear and clear: "It is the account of all the black market transactions of the Jian family in Rucheng and the list of cooperative enterprises. ”

At this moment, the ice and snow under Fu Zhi's eyes surged, and darkness suddenly appeared.

Dai Xijiu frowned lightly between his eyebrows, reacted immediately, and retreated, but the knee bend had been swept by skillful force, and he fell to the ground heavily, and at the same time, the blade left Fu Zhi's neck, and the black-clothed people in all directions were like bats leaving the cage, pouring in layer by layer, besieging Dai Xijiu.

Fu Zhi didn't even change his sitting posture, his eyelashes drooped lightly at the moment, his gaze fell faintly from above, and the palm stretched out towards Dai Xijiu was jade white and unblemished, each phalanx was very beautiful, and his voice was uninterrupted: "Take it." ”

Dai Xijiu did not immediately raise his head, but stood up over the cold floor, and then looked at Fu Zhi and looked at the past.

The girl's face was not half panicked, but there was a little sweat on her forehead, sliding down the side of her face, crystal clear, like a rose unwilling to be discounted by the rain, very tough, and actually smiled sweetly at the darkness: "When did I say that something is on me?"

"No one can get it without me. ”

When any fierce rhythm arrives at Fu Zhi, it is like condensing ice crystals, and he can't stand high. At this moment, he glanced at Dai Xijiu lightly, and only spit out two words, and his voice was like a pearl: "Request." ”

"Bring my mother back and receive the best treatment from the Elvis Institute. ”

In the darkness, Mu Ran's voice was so kind that it was like a homely voice: "How could grandpa not agree to such a simple thing as curing a disease?"

The voice paused, and then his voice became unpredictable and cold: "It's just that, Daisy, if you can't get anything out of your mother's way back when the time comes, then your mother won't need to be treated anymore." ”

"Think about it, is there any need to lie to me?"

Dai Xijiu's fingers under the cloak were slightly clenched into fists, his expression was firm, and he didn't stop for a second: "Take her back." ”

In the distant depths of darkness, the voice that came out seemed to be mixed with a shallow sigh: "Fu Zhi, send someone to do it." ”

Until this moment, Dai Xijiu's shoulders were almost invisible and half soft, and they collapsed in a very small arc.

However, in the next second, the silent hall suddenly sounded a "squeak", and the cold and biting wind suddenly blew from behind him, lifting the hem of the cloak into a gorgeous arc, and Dai Xijiu turned his head.

The nearly three-meter-high black and gold carved door in the hall was slowly opened by the attendants, and the wind and snow outside the door surged, scattering and flying, like a group of spiritual butterflies scattered with holy light pouring into the hall along the wind, and a person walked in in the snow, the burgundy cloak floated with the wind, like a cloud of dark color covered his body, surrounded by the brim, and sometimes lifted a corner by the wind, revealing the skin more transparent than snow, more delicate than light, the shape of the thin lips was perfect, and the shallow hook was a line of arc, and between the starts, a tear mole loomed in the corner of the eye, and the flowers were extinguished.

In this way, the whole picture has not been seen, only a few fragmentary pictures, and everyone present is holding their breath.

He walked over like that, with snow every step of the way, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, his demeanor was elegant, and he was calm and calm.

Dai Xijiu's eyes were dark, as if he had turned into a statue with unchanged stone bones, staring at the past.

He walked to the hall and stood still, his delicate and slender fingers gently lifted the brim of his hat, and he looked up for a moment, his side face was brought out by the dome light in a very delicate arc, his chin was slightly raised, and his thin lips slowly lifted a smile.

It is obviously idle, but the coercion is suddenly overwhelming, and no one can give birth to blasphemy.

At this moment, all the black-clothed people in the audience looked at each other and knelt down in unison, followed by a respectful salute without a trace of blasphemy: "Honorable head." ”

The person who was saluted looked at the high platform from afar, his eyes swept over the top and did not fall on any point, a smile on the corner of his mouth was casual and lazy, and his voice was low and elegant: "You don't have to go anywhere." What she has, I have. ”
