Chapter 37: The Movie Theater Turmoil
Zeng Xi raised his clear apricot eyes, and the moment he looked at Emperor Dragon City with an arrogant and evil aura, his pupils trembled faintly.
"If I ...... Can you cure your illness and not die? β
The girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan, but it was like thunder in the ears of Dilong City.
The resolute and tough face suddenly froze.
"Crippled, dare to scold our Brother Long for being sick!" The black bodyguard next to him picked up the collar behind Zeng Xi's neck with one hand, and his thick fist was about to hit Zeng Xi's bright and delicate face.
Suddenly, a large thick palm blocked her face, and the bodyguard suddenly withdrew his fist and almost fell.
"Dragon...... Brother Long......"
In the next second, the bodyguard was directly knocked down by Di Long Cheng's punch, and a tooth burst out of his mouth, rolling to the ground, embedded in blood.
Emperor Dragon City exhaled hot air towards his fist and glared at the bodyguard viciously: "Let you do it?" β
The tall black bodyguard crawled to the ground, covered his swollen face and silently retreated to the door, not even daring to pick up his teeth.
Emperor Dragon City turned to Zeng Xi again, her tall body shrouded her head, and the three-dimensional facial features of European and American mixed blood were distinct and handsome, but her face was evil.
"Little cripple, I didn't hear it clearly, you say it again."
The corners of his mouth opened when he spoke, and it was eerie and terrifying.
Zeng Xi's weak body subconsciously shrank back, and his tongue trembled, "I...... I see you ...... Zhongqi is disordered, the heart rhythm is irregular, if you leave it alone, I'm afraid it will ......"
Before she could say the words "life is short", a big hand suddenly grabbed her neck.
"I'm afraid of something, go on."
The man's gloomy gaze stared straight at her.
Zeng Xi, who had never seen such a scene, did not wait for the strength of his neck palm, and he was already fainting in fright.
β¦β¦
Premier Hotel.
A short-haired woman in a red dress walked towards the white Bentley door, which was opened for her by bodyguards.
After getting into the car, the respectful and deep voice of Li Yan Ting next to him immediately came.
"To an American restaurant?"
"Yan Ting, you are familiar with Huaguo, you will be fine." Li Sanqing smiled politely after speaking.
The car arrives at Kyoto's top luxury American restaurant.
When Li Yanting and Li Sanqing entered, there was no one in the entire restaurant.
"Is this a charter?" Li Sanqing asked knowingly.
"My nephew remembers that my aunt has always disliked interference." As she spoke, Li Yanting had already gentlemanly pulled out the chair for her.
"Yan Ting really has a heart." A smile flashed at the corner of Li Sanqing's mouth, but it was quickly put away without showing a trace.
All the markets on the table are created by the world's top 10 famous chefs.
The two are interested in food.
"Leaping City is a good project, but if our Li clan wants to monopolize it, I'm afraid it will make enemies with other chaebol families in the world, and the Smith family of country M is interested in cooperating, Yan Ting, when you have time to talk to them?"
"No need, auntie, I'm already interested in working with."
"Oh?" Li Sanqing's eyes flashed with a few waves of unknown meaning, "Could it be the Ito family?" Recently, the Ito family has been doing a lot of business, and they have a very close relationship with my sister-in-law, so you must be close to Miss Ito's marriage? β
"My mother and Mrs. Ito used to be alumni, and the two of them occasionally reminisced about old things, and they didn't have a close relationship. As for me and Miss Ito, it's impossible. β
The last four words of Li Yanting's voice were firm and calm.
Li Sanqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth hooked, and he asked meaningfully: "I heard that a woman got into your car in front of the group?" Could it be that Yan Ting is not exempt from vulgarity, and he played the game of dew love like my father? β
Li Yanting's hand holding the wine glass tightened.
He still had a little luck before, maybe it was just someone within the Li Group who assigned the car in the name of the deputy director.
Because he couldn't figure out why Li Sanqing wanted to deal with Sheng Wanning.
Now, it seems, his guess is true.
The car sent to hit Sheng Wanning was indeed an order from Li Sanqing himself, and even now, Li Sanqing is still sending people to keep an eye on Sheng Wanning.
If Sheng Wanning hadn't sat in his car after work today, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been!
Li Yanting's chest rose and fell violently, he put the wine glass back on the table, and said in an aggravated tone: "Auntie, no matter what the reason, my nephew wants you to stop here." β
Li Sanqing's face did not have the slightest wave, and his thick voice was extremely indifferent, "Yan Ting, you give up that woman." Her life, I'm going to decide! β
Killing intent, undisguised.
Li Yanting sneered, "Over the years, my aunt has carefully planned, isn't it just for the position of the head of the family?" β
Li Sanqing's eyes suddenly froze, and a hint of an elusive smile pulled out of his lips.
"Could it be that Yan Ting is willing to take the initiative to give up the position of the head of the family in order to let me let that woman go?"
"Auntie misunderstood."
He wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and his tone obviously changed to the fierceness of the business world, and there was no trace of tactfulness and respect between generations.
"If my aunt stops here, you can still compete with me on a level playing field. But if my aunt insists on going her own way, don't blame me, don't miss family affection. β
"You're threatening me?!"
Li Sanqing's face changed.
She didn't expect that Li Yanting, who had never been fishy, would tear her face with herself for a woman today.
"Just a reminder." Li Yanting got up after speaking, and his tone returned to respect: "Presumably, my aunt is busy with affairs, so I will send my aunt back." β
Li Sanqing pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word.
At night, the stars are dotted, and a bunch of comets flash from the sky, fleeting.
Sheng Wanning came to Baida Cinema as promised.
Zhou Che unexpectedly didn't wear glasses today, and she also wore a suit and trousers, which was so formal that she almost didn't recognize it.
"What? Dressed so handsome? Sheng Wanning patted Zhou Che's shoulder as she spoke.
Zhou Che, who was holding two bottles of drinks in his hand, turned red.
"Handsome...... Is it handsome......"
Sheng Wanning smiled and gave a thumbs up and gave an affirmative answer, and at the same time her eyes hurriedly swept over, and found that there were really a lot of people who came to this premiere.
Suddenly, she noticed two familiar figures.
A tall, seductive woman wears sunglasses and a mask, followed by a slightly shorter young woman who also wears a mask.
The two of them are clearly very low-key, but the sharp-eyed Sheng Wanning still recognizes the figures of the two at a glance.
That was the actress Jin Ruxuan and her assistant.
Behind them were two burly bodyguards.
"Ruxuan, look at that woman......" The assistant found Sheng Wanning first and reminded in a low voice.
Jin Ruxuan followed the instructions and looked at Sheng Wanning, two cold lights burst out from her thick sunglasses, and she lowered her voice and said, "Go in first!" β
The two entered the theater one after the other.
Sheng Wanning was stunned, how could the actress come to see this premiere, and the heroine was not her.
"Manager Sheng, let's go in quickly." Zhou Che urged.
She bowed her head slightly and followed the team into the theater.
Before the movie started, Sheng Wanning looked at the people in the neighborhood.
Four seats directly ahead, two couples.
On the left are two female students, talking about trivial matters on campus. What hot water bottle was stolenγSkip class tomorrow to help roll call...... It's all played by her.
On the right is Zhou Che.
Jin Ruxuan and her assistant sat two rows apart from each other in the right rear, far away.
The most terrifying thing is directly behind her: a combination of parents and children.
She couldn't help but wonder that although war movies have a great positive significance for cultivating children's patriotic feelings and the spirit of hard work, this movie has marked violence and blood...... Are you sure it's right for these children?
The video slowly began to play.
Sheng Wanning is always vigilant and pays attention to every move around her.
Suddenly, someone kicked him violently in the back chair.
The cells of her whole body were instantly awakened.
Is it coming? Killer?!
However, when she looked back, she saw a seven or eight-year-old boy smiling at her.
More like an assassination than an assassination...... Practical joke.
"Be quiet, kid." She suppressed her annoyance and frowned.
Although she tried her best to keep her voice low and keep her tone calm, the boy's father was still furious, and immediately rubbed himself from his seat and roared: "Stinky woman, you dare to threaten my son?!"
The voice was as loud as thunder, and the little boy was immediately frightened by him and cried.
The people in the entire theater were suddenly impatient.
"What a roar, you have to roar outside."
Jin Ruxuan's assistant teased in a low voice: "A rude and rude money worshipper can cause a commotion anywhere." β
Jin Ruxuan next to him snorted coldly, "Fox spirit! Can you not be sassy? β
The middle-aged man couldn't resist everyone's accusations, and sat down angrily, and a woman next to him, who was also a little obese, hugged the crying boy and coaxed him, it seemed that it should be a family of three.
Zhou Che turned his head and asked Sheng Wanning with a puzzled look What happened.
Sheng Wanning just responded lightly: "It's okay." β
As soon as the words fell, she was kicked in the back of her chair again, much harder than the one the boy kicked before, obviously kicked by the middle-aged man.
The film playing on the big screen at this time had already opened the curtain of war, and the sound of gunfire was ringing in her ears, except for Sheng Wanning, no one noticed that the middle-aged man was kicking her chair one after another.
She couldn't bear it anymore, got up and said to Zhou Che, "I'll go to the bathroom." β
And the middle-aged man was obviously not ready to let her go, and followed her all the way out of the theater.
Jin Ruxuan looked at the figure who walked out of the door, and said to the assistant next to him, "You follow." β
The assistant immediately understood, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "Ruxuan rest assured, I know how to do it."
The assistant took the bodyguard out of the theater.
Sheng Wanning was passing through an empty corridor at this time.
There was a vicious shout from behind him: "Stinky woman, I don't want to teach you a good lesson today!" β
Accompanied by the heavy footsteps of the man.
She didn't say a word, just sneered to herself, turned and entered the hidden fire staircase, and when the man followed, she kicked it violently......
A minute later, Jin Ruxuan's assistant and bodyguards returned to the theater first.
"What's going on out there?" Jin Ruxuan asked.
The assistant's voice was obviously a little trembling, "Ruxuan...... We can't afford to mess with that woman......"
Jin Ruxuan's expression froze, and his face was full of question marks.
Sheng Wanning happened to return to the theater at this time.
The movie gradually enters the climax, and the smoke of gunpowder fills the air.
And the woman kept talking to herself anxiously behind her: "Strange, why hasn't your father come back for so long?" β
Not long after, the woman went out with the boy in her arms.
Sheng Wanning didn't say a word, looking around vigilantly.
The movie was almost over, and I didn't notice any suspicious killers.
A hint of loss flashed across her expression.
After leaving the theater, Zhou Che said to himself, with an excited face, "The special effects are awesome!" It is said that this is the first war film in which China has invested more than 10 billion yuan, and the scene is real and exciting! Manager Sheng, what do you think? β
"That's pretty good."
Sheng Wanning's tone was light and had no emotion.
Not far behind him, an ambulance whizzed by.
"Mmmmmmmmmm
The sound loops repeatedly.
The sound of the passers-by came to their ears:
"I heard that someone was beaten on the fire staircase of the theater, is it true, it's terrible."
"The staff said that it was a broken spine, which was too miserable, and Kyoto has not been very peaceful in the past two years."
Zhou Che was stunned when he heard this.
I couldn't imagine that watching a movie could bump into such a tragic thing, and I was secretly glad that it didn't happen to him.
He lowered his eyes to the woman beside him, and when he saw that she was silent, he thought she was also frightened.
"Manager Sheng, where do you live? Do you need me to take you home? He asked in a tentative tone.
"Take me home?"
Sheng Wanning's footsteps paused.
At this point, they were already outside the theater.
The stars are sinking in the middle of the night, and the evening breeze is blowing.
Zhou Che's face was flushed with a faint flush against the backdrop of the night light.
She was speechless.
Before, she was only trying to lure out the killer behind her, and she didn't pay attention......
Zhou Che invited her to watch a movie, and offered to send her home, isn't this kid...... Interesting to her?
Sheng Wanning's expression was slightly restrained, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Someone will come to pick me up, you go back and be careful yourself." By the way, in order to thank you for taking me to watch the movie today, I contracted your milk tea for the next month! β
Zhou Che is not stupid.
It's so late, but Fan Sheng Wanning has a good impression of him, so he won't refuse to let him send it.
As for contracting milk tea, it was just to dissociate himself from him, and euphemistically said that there would be no trend of any progress between them because of this movie.
After comprehending the implied rejection in her words, a square jewelry box tightly held in Zhou Che's hand was stunned and stuffed back into his pocket.
"That'...... I sent Manager Sheng to the car and left. β
Sheng Wanning's throat was blocked.
Xindao: Send her to the car? If he sees Li Yanting and he sees through her relationship with Li Yanting, won't he get rid of it?
In order to avoid complications, their relationship cannot be exposed yet.
She was thinking about what excuse to let Zhou Che go first, when suddenly a respectful voice of a middle-aged man came from her side.
"Mrs., Mr. Li is here to pick you up, please get in the car."
