Lan Ximei smiled sweetly and said, "People like your fearless appearance." ”

Luo Lie said: "You came to me for this matter?"

Lan Ximei said: "It's naturally not so simple for me to come to you. She pulled out another photo.

Luo Lie took the photo, couldn't help but be stunned, the photo is a bright-eyed girl, but this girl is a sparrow, from the background of the photo is a world covered with ice and snow, because of the lack of specific geographical features, so it is impossible to judge her location, the date on the photo is half a month ago, if the date is true, then this photo should be taken soon. After the incident in the Old Summer Palace in Beiping, the sparrow went to Europe to study, and the reason for the sparrow to leave was the play that Lan Ximei performed with Luo Lie.

Lan Ximei said: "This photo was recently taken in Pale Mountain. ”

Luo Lie pursed her lips, if Lan Ximei hadn't lied to herself, Sparrow should have returned to China, it seems that this Nizi didn't honestly study in Europa, but why did she suddenly return to China? Why did she choose to return to Pale Mountain?

Lan Ximei said, "Do you can't wait to see her now?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "If I thought so, I wouldn't have asked you for help in the first place." ”

Lan Ximei snorted, her pretty face was already red, obviously remembering that she took the initiative to kiss Luo Lie.

Luo Lie said: "What do you want to tell me when you take out such a photo?"

Lan Ximei said: "Although Fukuyama Uji is dead, she has left some things for Sparrow, and she should return from Europe this time for this matter." ”

Luo Lie frowned and said, "She's alone?" In his opinion, after all, the sparrow is not deeply involved in the world, and it is a little immature to deal with all aspects of things.

Lan Ximei said: "There is someone behind her, a young marquis named Robert Shaun. After a pause, he looked at Luo Lie with deep meaning and said, "This marquis is handsome and golden!"

"So what?"

Lan Ximei said, "You're not jealous?"

Luo Lie laughed.

Lan Ximei said: "It's really hypocritical to laugh. ”

Luo Lie returned all the photos to her, and then said, "I've read all the photos, now can you tell me what the purpose of looking for me is?"

Lan Ximei pursed her cherry lips and said, "People miss you." ”

Luo Lie said: "Let's talk about the point!"

Lan Ximei said, "I want you to accompany me on a trip." ”

"Where are you going?"

Lan Ximei said: "Pale Mountain." ”

Luo Lie said: "For the time being, I don't have this arrangement, and I don't have this time. ”

Lan Ximei didn't get angry at his refusal, and chuckled: "It seems that Ye Qinghong is not a little charming, and she can actually settle you, a prodigal son." She moved closer to Luo Lie, and pillowed her head on Luo Lie's shoulder: "You can't refuse me, I will wait for you." ”

After speaking, she got up and left, her eyes fell on Ye Qinghong's face at the entrance, she looked at her defiantly, and when she passed by Ye Qinghong, she greeted, "Don't come unharmed?"

Ye Qinghong smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Luo Lie had already sensed Ye Qinghong's arrival, Ye Qinghong was a smart woman, she should be able to understand, so Luo Lie didn't explain, and he didn't need to explain.

Ye Qinghong came to the place where Lan Ximei was just now and sat down: "I came back because I remembered something. ”

Luo Lie said: "What's the matter?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Bai Yunfei asked someone to send me an invitation and invited me to the dance party tomorrow night. ”

Luo Lie said: "When is it?"

Ye Qinghong thought that Luo Lie had also received the invitation, but judging from Luo Lie's reaction, he should not know anything about this matter, and glanced at him in some surprise before saying, "What happened just now." ”

Luo Lie remembered that Ye Qinghong and Tang Bao'er left first just now, did Bai Yunfei send someone to follow them? At this moment, he suddenly heard the doorbell outside.

Luo Lie got up and went out, came back not long after, and waved the invitation card in his hand to Ye Qinghong that was exactly the same as hers: "Mine has also arrived." ”

Ye Qinghong said: "It's been a while since I came back to Huangpu, and he has never taken the initiative to meet me, let alone invite me. Because of Mu Sanshou's matter, Bai Yunfei tried his best to avoid meeting Ye Qinghong head-on, which was also to avoid unnecessary trouble, so Ye Qinghong was also curious about his initiative to invite him this time.

Luo Lie said: "Bai Yunfei is a scheming person, and he has his motives for doing everything. ”

Ye Qinghong said: "I don't know what his purpose is for inviting us?"

Luo Lie thought about it, but couldn't figure out Bai Yunfei's purpose, and said after a while: "I don't know what other guests he invited?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Only the people around him know about this matter. ”

Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong raised their heads at the same time, their eyes met, and they almost thought of someone at the same time - Lao An.

"Have the invitations been delivered?" Bai Yunfei held the birdcage and looked at the thrush in the cage, the thrush screamed crisply and pleasantly, which was a great pleasure to Bai Yunfei's ears.

Lao An nodded and said, "It's already been sent." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Did you personally send Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong over there?"

Lao An shook his head and replied respectfully: "Because Master Hou didn't give a special explanation, let someone else go." ”

Bai Yunfei glanced at Lao An, and actually understood in his heart that Lao An chose to do this in order to avoid suspicion, since Lao An came back this time, Bai Yunfei had doubts about him, not that he doubted Lao An's loyalty to him, but that he suspected that Lao An and Luo Lie had established a friendship that he didn't know about because of the last time they went to sea, and once people have feelings, they can't avoid being affected in dealing with certain things.

From Lao An's handling of this matter, it can also be seen that he must be aware of this, so he will take the initiative to avoid suspicion. Bai Yunfei found that he still didn't hide it after all, and it also proved that Lao An knew him very well, but the more Lao An was like this, the more Bai Yunfei felt a little suspicious of wanting to cover up.

Bai Yunfei smiled: "Bring me dry tobacco." ”

Lao An nodded, respectfully took the dry tobacco left by Mu Sanye, helped to load the tobacco, and then respectfully lit Bai Yunfei, Bai Yunfei's eyes were always fixed on the pipe, extremely calm, and there was indifference in the calm, until he took the first puff of the cigarette, his stagnant gaze reactivated.

Lao An took the birdcage and hung it under the eaves of the corridor, and at this time he heard Bai Yunfei's soft words: "Lao An, I want you to help me kill someone." ”

Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and the birdcage that was originally raised stopped slightly, although it was only for a moment, it still did not escape Bai Yunfei's sharp eyes. In Bai Yunfei's understanding, Lao An's first reaction was hesitation, this was something that would never have happened in the past, Lao An's life was given by himself, no matter what he asked him to do, he would not hesitate, let alone hesitate.

Bai Yunfei thinks that Lao An has concern, once a person has concern, that is, he has selfishness, and a selfish person is not trustworthy. Bai Yunfei has always been a conceited person, he deduced that Lao An should be worried that he would send him to kill Luo Lie, but Bai Yunfei's conceit will also affect his judgment, he doesn't know that Lao An's hesitation and selfishness have nothing to do with Luo Lie.

Lao An hung up the birdcage, and when he turned around, his expression had returned to his usual calm and indifferent, and he said without shock: "Obey!" No matter who the name is, no matter who it is, as long as Bai Yunfei speaks, he will do it unconditionally, this is what he owes Bai Yunfei, and he must pay it back in this life.

Bai Yunfei said: "Ye Qinghong!"

Lao An couldn't hide his stunned gaze, even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why Bai Yunfei wanted to kill Ye Qinghong. Bai Yunfei originally planned to cooperate with Ren Tianjun, although Lao An did not know the specific process of that meeting, but he knew that the result was not optimistic, and Ren Tianjun should have angered Bai Yunfei. It stands to reason that Bai Yunfei should choose to attack him, but why did he target Ye Qinghong? Could it be that he wanted to use Ye Qinghong's death to provoke hatred between Luo Lie and Ren Tianjun?

There is no good banquet, Ren Tianjun also received an invitation from Bai Yunfei, his first reaction to this invitation was to refuse, before Bai Yunfei took the initiative to come to the door to show him goodwill, but Ren Tianjun did not give him a good face, I thought that Bai Yunfei would not take the initiative to contact him from now on, but I didn't expect that he would invite himself to the ball, what kind of calculation did this person have in his head?

Ren Tianjun thought for a while before making a decision, he decided to go to participate, the change in the situation was beyond his expectations, Zhang Lingfeng came forward for Luo Lie and a few people, so that his revenge action in Huangpu was blocked, and the original revenge plan had to be put aside temporarily, so he reconsidered the goodwill that Bai Yunfei had released. Another extremely important reason is that, according to his understanding, Montpero, the consul of the French Concession, will also bring his family to this ball, and this person is the important person he wants to meet when he comes to Huangpu.

Although Ren Tianjun has considerable strength in northern Jiangxi, he does not have too deep roots in Huangpu, otherwise he would not have thought of taking revenge with the help of external forces. Father's revenge must be avenged, but the road ahead must also be taken, although Ren Tianjun is young, he knows the priorities.

But not everyone in this world is as rational as Ren Tianjun, Zhao Huchen is not, Zhao Huchen has an extremely strong desire for money and power, so he chose to cooperate with Ren Tianjun, first in Huangpu to deal with Luo Lie, because of Zhang Lingfeng's obstruction and failed, he made peace with Luo Lie on the surface, but behind the scenes, he bypassed Huangpu and chose Zhoushan to start, and finally failed because of Luo Lie's vigilance, Ren Tianjun was disappointed in Zhao Huchen, but still did not recover the deposit, because in Ren Tianjun's view, a Zhao Huchen full of desire is much easier to cooperate with than the scheming Bai Yunfei。

Zhao Huchen also received an invitation, as one of the well-known roles in the underground society of Huangpu, if Bai Yunfei did not greet him, this party convened by Bai Yunfei would be equivalent to not giving him face, Zhao Huchen is just a person who loves face.
