Chapter 217: A handsome guy with a broken skull

That night, the "Law-abiding Citizen" bar had a lively atmosphere.

"To celebrate this great victory! Cheers! ”

"Oh oh! Cheers! ”

With Xia Ling raising his glass, Jiang Zheng next to him also raised the cup full of absinthe in his hand very cooperatively.

But before his cup could be brought to his mouth, he was stopped by Miss Shen, who was sitting next to him.

"What are you doing? What cups? ”

Shen Yunyi glanced at him, took Jiang Zheng's cup and replaced it with orange soda, and said angrily:

"It's the seventh toast, how much do you want to drink? Are you going to get drunk and be carried back? ”

"Don't care about him like this, good niece, everyone is in such a good mood today, then they must not be drunk and have no home."

"Auntie, you are an adult, it is your freedom to get drunk, I can't control it, but he is still underage, so he can't drink like this."

Seeing Shen Yunyi's righteous and strict appearance, Jiang Zheng had no choice but to shrug his shoulders.

picked up the orange soda and saluted Teacher Gu Qian, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile:

"That's right, it's really not good to drink so swaggering in front of the head teacher."

"It turns out that you still know that I am your homeroom teacher, which is really a surprising discovery."

Gu Qian, who was brought to celebrate together, raised her eyebrows, and showed Jiang Zheng a "thank you so much" look.

After Gu Qian woke up early in the morning, she was first frightened by the maid who suddenly appeared next to her for some reason.

As she left the storage space with Mi'er and came to the unfamiliar Shen family courtyard, Gu Qian felt a little at a loss.

After all, it was the first time for Gu Qian to come to Shen Yunyi's house, although she had long heard that the Shen family had a big business.

But seeing such a large mansion with her own eyes still made her feel as if she was not in the same world.

Miss Shen quickly saw Teacher Gu Qian's crampedness, so she took the initiative to pull her to sit on a chair and chat.

In terms of soothing other people's emotions, Shen Yunyi is still very skilled, so much so that Gu Qian quickly relaxed.

"Teacher Gu, anyway, Jiang Zheng didn't trouble you yesterday, right?"

"Huh? Luckily, it's better that I've caused him a lot of trouble. ”

"You're welcome, if you have any dissatisfaction with him, just say it, I'll help you out."

Shen Yunyi said as he gathered his fists towards Jiang Zheng next to him, looking ready to help Gu Qian get angry at any time.

At the beginning, Gu Qian felt that her student respected her teacher so much, which was really gratifying.

But looking back and thinking about it carefully, this move seems to have a more or less "oath of sovereignty" implication in it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qian also shook her head a little embarrassed, feeling that she should be thinking too much.

After that, Shen Yunyi sent someone to send Gu Qian back to his home, so that Gu Yan, who had been crazy for a long time, finally saw her sister again.

"Sister! Where did you go? Scared the hell out of me! ”

"I met a girlfriend I haven't seen in many years last night, and after drinking too much, I went to stay with her for one night, sorry to worry you."

Looking at her sister who threw herself into her arms and was about to cry, Gu Qian couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

Not long after the two sisters were reunited, the incident about Bai Hui began to go viral on the Internet.

"Jiangcheng No. 1 Experimental High School" is a gathering place for young people, and the spread of this kind of hot news is naturally very fast.

Therefore, before the lunch break, almost all the students knew that there was such a perverted idol lady in Jiangcheng.

Although for the vast majority of people, Miss Bai Hui's is just an after-dinner conversation.

But there is also a person in this school who fell into blood mold because of Bai Hui. That is the school grass (self-styled) of Class A in the second year, the future star of the basketball team (self-styled), Bai Qisheng.

Well, Bai Qisheng is the young man who had some conflicts with Jiang Zheng because of Su Mei's affairs before, and thought he was a heartthrob.

It can be seen from Bai Qisheng's surname that he and Bai Hui are somewhat related, and in fact, the two are indeed cousins.

Because of this, Bai Qisheng used to pretend to be Bai Hui's cousin, and often recommended the live broadcast room of "White Lotus" to friends.

This is good, as Bai Hui's side stinks on the street, Bai Qisheng also fell into the endless abyss together.

When the tall Bai Qi Shengqing walked into the student cafeteria with a green face, all the students who were cooking looked at him and smiled.

In fact, there were quite a few people in the school who didn't like Bai Qisheng before, thinking that this guy was too pretending to be forced and liked to attract attention.

It's a good thing now, the Bai family has such a shameful thing, naturally there are a lot of people lining up to kill him.

So as Bai Qisheng appeared in the cafeteria, someone next to him shouted:

"Come and watch the live broadcast of the White Lotus, watch the live broadcast with a dog chain and a pair of long whips."

Bai Qisheng's face turned red when he heard this, and he looked at the laughing crowd, but he didn't find who was shouting there.

He had no choice but to walk quickly to the dining window and said to the cafeteria aunt: "Fight three dishes, you can eat anything, fast." ”

Seeing that this handsome guy from the Bai family didn't reply, someone deliberately shouted:

"What else do you play, hurry up and play basketball, you can learn from your cousin to beat men without playing basketball."

As soon as these words came out, the entire cafeteria burst into laughter, and from the sight projected from all directions, Bai Qi's Holy Tooth was about to be crushed.

He was already a haughty man, so he took a sharp breath, and shouted with wide eyes:

"Ladies and gentlemen, things are still unclear, don't listen to some people's words!"

As soon as the words fell, someone next to him laughed:

"What kind of one-sided statement, there are all the human and material evidence, can this still be denied?"

Bai Qisheng's face turned red when he heard this, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, arguing:

"The physical evidence can't be counted, but the matter of the photograph can be counted as evidence? Maybe it's P? ”

One after another is difficult to understand, what "P picture rumors can't die well", what "I believe in my cousin's person" and so on.

The forced argument caused everyone to laugh, and the air of joy filled the inside and outside of the cafeteria.

Of course, in the current situation, no matter how much Bai Qisheng argued, there was no point, not to mention that his argument was very weak.

Even in the evening, some local TV stations began to report on this incident one after another, so that many middle-aged and elderly people who do not use the Internet also know that there is such a person in Jiangcheng.

When things have developed to this point, Bai Hui and "Citigroup" are basically finished.

At least in Jiang Zheng's view, the other party should have no chance of turning the tables at all, and then let's see how "Citigroup" dies.

Because of this, the members of the event gathered in this familiar bar that night to celebrate with great vigour.

However, just as Jiang Zheng, Shen Yunyi, Xia Ling, Gu Qian, Xia Rinrin, Mi'er and others were drinking and drinking while chatting and having fun with their friends here.

The "law-abiding citizen," the big-shouldered bartender, came over with a letter on a sterling silver plate.

"May I ask who are Mr. Jiang Zheng and Miss Xia Rinrin? Here are your letters. ”

Jiang Zheng? Xia Rinrin? Letters from these two?

When they heard the bartender's words, everyone was stunned at first, and then Xia Ling couldn't help laughing:

"Hey, the name is mispronounced, there is a letter from me and Jiang Zheng, how can it be dignified."

Because Xia Ling and Jiang are in a lawsuit recently, there are quite a lot of letters, leaflets and other things related to the two of them.

Although I can't figure out why these flyers are sent to the bar, it is obviously more common sense to have the names of Jiang Zheng and Xia Ling written on them.

The bartender shook his head and said very firmly:

"It's Miss Xia Rinrin, that's right, it's clearly written here."

As soon as the words fell, the bartender handed the letter to Jiang Zheng, then bowed slightly and left with the plate.

When the bartender left, Jiang Zheng also picked up the letter and looked at it under the curious gaze of everyone, and his eyes immediately changed drastically.

Originally, after drinking a bunch of absinthe with Xia Ling and Gu Qian, Jiang Zheng was now a little confused and unconscious.

But when he saw the note on the envelope that read "Jiang Zheng and Xia Rinlin personally opened", as well as the fire paint printed on the seal, his wine suddenly woke up.

There is nothing special about this line of writing, what is really special is the fire paint used to seal it.

"Fire paint", also known as "wax seal", is an envelope adhesive used to seal important documents or letters.

Normally, the fire paint is red, but the fire paint of this letter is pitch black, and the form of a celestial body also appears.

Black celestial bodies, black fire paint. Could it be said. Is it them?

The moment he thought of this, Jiang Zheng immediately reached out and rubbed his forehead to dispel the remaining wine.

Then he tore open the paint, took out the letter inside, and quickly read it.

The envelope looked like something was serious, but the contents of the letter were very simple.

"At 10:66 tonight, in the lobby on the first floor of the 'Citi Building', we are waiting for the two drivers."

There is also a signature in the lower right corner of the letter, and the name of the inscription is "NO.66. Malachite".

After looking at the brief invitation text, Jiang Zheng also handed it to Xia Rin on the side, and said with a smile:

"Big trouble is coming, it seems that this incident will not end so easily."

Judging by the black celestial fire paint on this letter, as well as the signature of this "NO.66 malachite".

Jiang Zheng could see in the blink of an eye who had sent the letter.

After all, according to the information collected by Xia Rinrin before, all the executives of "Pluto" are codenamed a kind of "ornamental stone".

For example, the code name of the driver's boss who came to pick up Su Yuchan before was "Chensha".

"Cinnabar", like "malachite", is a naturally occurring ornamental stone.

It can be seen that the "Malachite" who sent the letter to everyone this time is also an executive from that mysterious organization.

After Shen Yunyi and the others also read the letter, Xia Ling couldn't help frowning and said:

"Pluto, you forget it? Why did they send a letter to Rin? ”

Xia Ling didn't know that Jiang Zheng asked Xia Rin to investigate the matter of "Pluto" before, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while.

And after Jiang Zheng told the previous story, the adoptive mother suddenly raised her eyebrows, hugged Jiang Zheng's neck and scolded:

"You little bastard! Let my good daughter investigate such a dangerous organization! If something happens to Rin, see if I don't treat you."

"Say no more!"

Before Xia Ling could finish speaking, Xia Rinrin, who was holding the letter next to her, interrupted her loudly.

Xia Rin had never spoken to her adoptive mother so loudly, which made Xia Ling stunned for a while.

"I'm sorry." After apologizing, Xia Rinrin said with a solemn expression:

"This matter is actually my own problem, I want to know too much about what happened in the past, so I was discovered by the other party."

"What happened to your past? What does this mean? ”

"Mom, I never told you, actually."

Xia Rin explained that she didn't have any memories before she was four years old.

Xia Ling couldn't help but collapse on the sofa cushion.

She was stunned for a few seconds before she asked helplessly:

Is your memory before the age of four really so important?"

"The memory itself is not important, what matters is the reason why I lost it."

Xia Rin said as she looked at her palms and said in a deep voice:

"I've been different from other kids since I was a child, and at the age of four I was able to think like an adult, and I could never forget anything I had ever seen, and I could learn everything at once."

"Then that just means you're a genius, isn't that a good thing?"

"It's nice to be so simple, but what if it's not? What if I did have anything to do with Pluto before I was four years old? ”

β€œ.”

"If one day, the cause and effect of the past are entangled in me, I don't want to be ignorant by then, so. I'm going to see him, I'm going to see the executive. ”

Xia Rinrin's words were very sincere and firm, so that people couldn't find a reason to refute them at all.

Maybe Xia Ling can also use the "mother's authority" to force her daughter not to go, but she won't do it.

So after sighing slightly, Xia Ling patted Jiang Zheng's back and whispered:

"Go ahead. My lovely daughter is left to you, be sure to protect her, please. ”

"Don't worry." Jiang Zheng also patted his chest without hesitation and replied: "If Rin loses a hair, I will raise my head to see me." ”

Although Jiang Zheng's military order sounded a bit of a joke, Xia Ling also knew that he was serious.

Then she could only allow her daughter to meet the executive officer and find her past memories.

In this way, with the departure of Jiang Zheng and Xia Rinrin, this originally lively farewell party also came to an imperfect end.

It didn't take long for Jiang Zheng, Xia Rinrin, and Shen Yunyi to take Xia Ling's car together and came to the parking lot of the "Citi Building".

Look at the twenty-eight-story building that looked like a giant monster in the night.

Jiang Zheng nodded to Shen Yunyi and Xia Ling behind him, and walked in with Xia Rinrin.

Because the letter stated that the two of them were to come to the appointment, if the other party saw that someone else was there, it was very likely that they would not show up.

In this case, even if this "Citigroup Building" is now a tiger's den in Longtan, Jiang Zheng and Xia Rinrin have to be two people to break through.

And when he entered the door, Jiang Zheng was actually still imagining what kind of person that "Malachite" was.

Judging from the "peacock", there is a high probability that she is a woman, and she is also the kind of woman who is very fancy?

Just as Jiang was thinking this, as the two of them came to the dim reception hall on the first floor, something strange happened.

Because it was night, the reception hall of the "Citi Tower" had long been staffed, but the door was still open for some reason.

Just as the two walked into the dimly lit hall, wanting to see what tricks the other wanted to play in this darkness.

Syllable! But I could only hear the crunch of light switches in the hall!

Immediately afterward, a spotlight from above the counter shone straight down, illuminating a small area behind the counter.

When that small area suddenly lit up, Jiang Zheng and Xia Rin saw the man who was already sitting in the dark.

That's a young man, a foreigner, at the same time. Also quite a pretty male.

It's hard to imagine that a man can use the word "beautiful" to describe it, and even Jiang Zheng has to admit it.

He has a handsome face as angular as a classical statue, and a pair of blue eyes that are as tender as water.

He had fair to almost pale skin and long, pale blonde hair that shone brighter than gold.

This can be called a bewitching appearance, coupled with a particularly slender body against the backdrop of that elegant suit.

It sets off this young man as handsome as if he came out of an oil painting, so intoxicating.

And he was holding a champagne glass with gold trim, sitting there elegantly savoring it.

With this appearance, just this style, I am afraid that no one will question him if he is a big star from abroad.

Unfortunately, this man is clearly not as good as his appearance suggests.

Because he is an executive from "Pluto", a messenger of Hades from the dark celestial body.

However, when he saw the Pluto executive sitting there alone and sipping wine, the light from the sky striking straight at the door of his head.

Xia Rinrin's first reaction to him was not "handsome", but that this guy had something wrong with his brain.

What kind of person would sneak into the darkness alone with a champagne glass in the middle of the night?

Just wait for others to come over and turn on the lights, just to concave this dirt and slag shape?

If we hadn't come, wouldn't he have to sit all night in the dimly lit hall with his glass in hand? Broken skull?

At the same time, Xia Rin also turned his head to look at Jiang Zheng who came over with him, and found that Jiang Zheng had a shocked expression on his face.

It's just that in fact, although Jiang Zheng was shocked, what Xia Rin didn't know was that the reason for his shock had nothing to do with this golden stupid roe deer.

Jiang Zheng's shock came from a familiar voice that suddenly flashed in his mind.

【Detected...... Heart...... Hall...... Please host ...... Crunch crunch】

This. This is? What is the system prompt when you first discover the Temple of the Mind?

If Jiang Zheng remembers correctly, it was the first time he entered the "Hall of Souls. Shen Family Courtyard" also had such a hint.

In other words. This time, the temple of the soul actually appeared here, in this "Citi Building"!
