At night, the most famous thing in the north is the starry sky under the snow caps.
Because of its high geographical location, there is the most beautiful starry sky here after nightfall. The stars in the sky, Orion, Beidou and other constellations can be seen clearly.
Under the majestic starry sky, sitting here can help you calm down, so that people who are always impetuous can also calm down.
In the house in the middle of the villa area, Li Li was ready to go out after having dinner with his drawing board on his back.
"What are you going to do?" The old lady came down from upstairs holding a cup of hot tea.
Li Li stood at the door, and the servant squatted on the ground to tie her shoelaces.
"I'm going out to paint."
"Come here first, grandma, let me tell you something." Li Langhua waved.
Li Li kicked off her shoes and put down her drawing board and entered the house. Li Ruobing took out the baked cookies from the kitchen.
They are all packed in very beautiful glass bottles, which look very exquisite.
"Sister, what are you doing with this biscuit?" Li Li looked at the bottle curiously.
Eat it at home and put it in a bottle for no reason.
"This is for Wen Li."
Li Ruobing carefully packed the bottles one by one and put them into a delicate handbag.
"I saw Wen Li when you were skiing in the afternoon, and she came here too." Li Ruobing looked at the confused Li Li and explained.
"Wen Li came here to ski?!" Li Li jumped up suddenly, "Why didn't you tell me, sister?"
Li Langhua saw her excited look and patted her hand to signal her, "Sit down."
"Wen Li saved Ruobing last time, but I haven't formally thanked her yet. This time it's just right. It's fate that she can run into us even though we're already in the north. I'll invite Wen Li to have a meal with us tomorrow. Don't be late. ." Li Langhua looked at Li Li.
Li Ruobing handed her a small box of biscuits, "Put this in your bag and eat it when you go out to paint later. Send the contents in this handbag to Wen Li."
"You two have made arrangements, and I don't know where Wen Li lives?" Li Li said, looking at the cookies in his hand.
"I've already asked her for you. She lives in the villa on the west side, and you will pass by when you go to the back mountain observation deck to sketch."
"oh."
Li Li obediently stood up with the biscuits, walked to the door and stuffed the biscuits that Li Ruobing had packed for her into her backpack.
"Ask the bodyguard to follow you. It's dark outside." Li Langhua ordered.
Li Li answered and opened the door and went out.
Li Ruobing moved forward and sat opposite Li Langhua, taking a sip of tea from the cup.
"Grandma, how about you try these biscuits? I've changed the recipe this time. They should taste good."
Li Langhua glanced at it but didn't take it. She had been controlling sugar for a long time and it was the most basic thing to not eat at night.
Li Li swallowed the black tea in the cup and seemed to have mustered up the courage to speak.
"Don't you like Wen Li very much?"
"Why do you ask that?" Li Langhua raised his eyes, his expression calm and natural.
Li Ruobing put down the cup in his hand and stared at her without moving.
It can be seen from the old lady's attitude that she is somewhat avoiding Wen Li.
If it were an ordinary person who had helped them so many times, grandma would not be so indifferent.
As for the old lady's attitude towards Wen Li, there is only one possibility.
"Now that I've told Lili, you should be well prepared. He is your savior, and we in the Li family must not lose our etiquette." Li Langhua got up and went upstairs.
What else did Li Ruobing want to say, "Grandma..."
Rachel stretched out her hand to stop the person, "Miss, please stop asking, the old lady feels uncomfortable."
"Did Wen Li's presence really make grandma so uncomfortable?" Li Ruobing looked at the old lady disappearing on the stairs and whispered, "We are obviously from the same mother and father, why should one of us be disliked..."
"What did you say?" Rachel's eyes widened in astonishment, "What do you mean?"
Why would Li Ruobing know
"Do you also know who Wen Li is?"
Looking at the girl's firm eyes, Rachel already understood that she already knew, otherwise she would not have said such words.
"Miss, the second lady must not let the second lady know about this matter." Rachel held her hand.
For a moment, he actually forgot to explore how Li Ruobing knew this secret that had been hidden for many years.
"But Wen Li is Li Li's biological sister, and no one has the right to prevent her from knowing this." Li Ruobing looked at Rachel and said anxiously.
"And why does grandma dislike Wen Li so much? Wen Li has helped us so many times, saved Lili and me. Isn't this enough for grandma to accept her calmly?"
Until now, she couldn't figure out why such a reasonable grandma couldn't accept Lili's sister.
Rachel looked back upstairs and sighed softly, "The old lady is just angry. That is the past that she has completely let go of. Miss Wen Li's appearance broke the calm, which made the old lady think so. It doesn’t make sense.”
Li Ruobing couldn't understand such words, and there were still many doubts about Wen Li's life experience.
Why are they twin sisters, but Wen Li has been lost from the Li family, and I have never heard grandma mention this matter.
Even Li Li herself didn't know that she had a twin sister.
Moreover, she has never seen her uncle since she can remember, and there is no photo of her uncle in the entire Li family.
Now Wen Li's appearance makes these things that were already suspicious become even more confusing.
"Miss, please don't ask about this matter. When the old lady really thinks about it clearly and wants to take Miss Wen Li back, she will tell her." Rachel sighed.
No one knew how difficult it was for Li Langhua to go through this journey. Wen Li's appearance brought not only unknown fear.
Li Langhua was afraid that she would take away the granddaughter he had loved for so many years.
She also thought of the past, like long-lasting scars being uncovered, and she could no longer bear the pain of loss.
Her husband and son have all left her, and this is the only granddaughter she wants to keep.
"Miss Wen Li is a very powerful child. She and Lili are also destined. Even if she cannot come back as the eldest lady of the Li family, the old lady will not treat her badly."
Those bloody wounds finally scabbed over and were torn open again, which was already very painful for Li Langhua.
You need to give her some time to slowly think about it bit by bit, and it will be fine if she thinks about it.
"Then I won't say anything? And I won't let Li Li know?" Li Ruobing said.
Rachel shook her head, "No need for now."
Paper cannot contain fire. When it will boil depends on the person's destiny.
"I'm going to rest for a while. You can take good care of grandma." Li Ruobing got up and went upstairs.
…
Li Li, who went out with a drawing board on his back, walked along the road Li Ruobing said. It seemed to be getting colder at night.
But the stars in the sky are even more beautiful when you look up.
The starry sky painted in this kind of landscape is truly unique.
Two bodyguards followed Li Li and helped her carry her backpack very responsibly.
Following the road to the front of the villa, she looked up and looked at the black bodyguards standing around. It didn't look like they were on vacation.
Sure enough, as soon as he took two steps, he was scolded by the bodyguard at the door.
"who are you?"
The bodyguard looked at the little girl in front of him and did not take out his weapon.
"I'm looking for Wen Li." Li Li said.
The bodyguards here looked at each other and arranged for the people next to them to go in and ask the supervisor for his opinion.
Soon Xia Chen ran out, "Why is it you?"
He looked at the person in front of him in astonishment.
"My sister said you guys are skiing here too, is Wen Li here? I have something to give her." Li Li raised the bag in his hand.
Xia Chen raised his hand and took it, "The boss is already asleep. Give it to me. I will tell her tomorrow."
Li Li's face was full of disappointment, "I went to bed so early."
"Why did you come here?" Xia Chen was quite surprised.
How far have we traveled to meet again? It feels like there is a strange fate.
"Grandma and I are here for vacation. I won't disturb her when she's asleep. Give the biscuits to Wen Li and I'll come find her tomorrow."
Xia Chen looked at the two cans of biscuits in the bag in his hand and nodded obediently.
After taking two steps, Li Li turned around and faced Xia Chen very seriously, "Don't eat it secretly. My sister baked this for Wen Li herself."
Xia Chen laughed angrily, "Do I look that greedy? I even stole your biscuits."
The little girl muttered, "That's not necessarily true."
However, they had specially sent biscuits. Xia Chen watched her leave and then walked in and handed the biscuits to Wen Li.
The room was brightly lit. After taking a bath, Wen Li sat at the table to tidy up his things.
"Boss, this is what Li Li gave you."
Wen Li took a look and saw a beautiful red bow hanging on the side of the handbag, which was very delicate.
"Why don't you see her by yourself? I see Lili's face is very disappointed." Xia Chen said.
The boss obviously hasn't gone to bed yet, why do you want him to go out to meet you
Wen Li fiddled with the inkstone at hand without saying anything, and Xia Chen coughed.
"She went to the back mountain with her drawing board on her back. She has to paint this late at night. You are writing here. You are quite artistic."
The paperweight in Wen Li's hand flew out and hit Xia Chen's face.
He raised his hand and walked out with a smile on his face, "You are busy, I won't accompany you if I have something else to do."
After Xia Chen exited, he held the paperweight and wondered, "It's very artistic to begin with. The boss is still writing all night long. I don't know what's wrong."
Why can't this calm thing make the boss calm down? He even threw something to hit him.
…
There is a special viewing platform on the back mountain connecting the villa area. Once on the viewing platform, you can see the most beautiful night sky.
The steps up the mountain had been cleaned long ago, and Li Li walked up the mountain step by step, carrying his drawing board and painting tools.
The bodyguard followed behind her with her backpack on her back, observing the situation around her with an expressionless expression.
This is a private villa area, and the people who can live here are of high status.
Naturally, the security situation is also the best, but it is only necessary to go out with bodyguards to prevent unexpected situations.
There are many pine trees and other cold-resistant trees growing on this mountain. There is a lot of rime hanging on the trees now, which is very beautiful.
The winding paths on the viewing platform cut the entire forest into pieces.
"You guys stand over there and hide. I'll just stay here alone." Li Li took the backpack from the bodyguard.
The two bodyguards looked at the drawing board she had put down and followed her instructions to stand fifty meters behind her.
When the second lady is painting, everyone should stay away from her, otherwise it will affect her inspiration. This is something that all the bodyguards of the Li family know.
Li Li took out the paintbrush and looked up at the twinkling starry sky opposite.
Sure enough, staying in this place feels like you can reach out and catch the stars.
With a general outline in his head, Li Li has already begun to make prototypes on the drawing board.
The stars were floating in the sky on the drawing paper. Li Li held the brush and thought for a long time. The drawing felt a bit ordinary.
Just as Li Li was holding the paintbrush and thinking, the sound of an engine came from diagonally opposite.
She was a little stunned, could this place still be accessed by car
Through the trees blocking the front, Li Li saw the black car driving past from the gap between the trees.
Among this white snow, black is very obvious.
Who is driving a car to enjoy the scenery in the middle of the night
She didn't pay much attention to it. After drawing two pieces of paper, she got up and walked forward.
"Second Miss!" the bodyguard shouted and was about to follow.
"You guys stand here and don't move. Keep an eye on my drawing board. Don't let anyone steal it. I'm going to go shopping for inspiration. Don't follow me."
The bodyguard wanted to say something else, but was stopped by someone coming from behind.
Yun Xiao looked at the little girl walking out in front of her, walked to the drawing board and looked at the balled up drawing paper she threw aside.
He smiled, he must have lost his inspiration and now he was looking for inspiration.
Li Li walked along the road, looking up at the starry sky from time to time.
When she went out, she vowed that she would be able to paint paintings that would amaze her grandma, but what came out of her hands was too ordinary.
However, it had been too long since she had sat down and painted a still life properly, and her hands had become a little raw over time.
"It is said that the stars in the North City are the most beautiful in the entire G country. Looking at it today, it is indeed well-deserved."
A very loud male voice in front attracted Li Li's attention.
She leaned forward and vaguely saw two men leaning next to two black cars through the gaps in the grass and trees.
She took a closer look and saw that one of them seemed to be the intoxicated boss, Jiang Yunhao.
Why did this person appear in Beicheng
Thinking of what happened in Suzui that night, Li Li automatically classified Jiang Yunhao into the category of not being a good person.
Two men showing up here in the middle of the night with bodyguards definitely weren't discussing anything good.
Thinking of this, she squatted down and hid in the bushes closest to the group of people.
From this angle, the faces of the two men could be seen clearly.
Both of them had four or five bodyguards behind them, and the dark group was particularly obvious in the ice and snow.
Jiang Yunhao was standing closest to Li Li, and she saw the bodyguard standing next to Jiang Yunhao.
It was the bodyguard who saved her that night, and his name seemed to be Xiao Yan.
"Mr. Jiang didn't come all the way here just to watch the stars." Mo Xiao stared at the man opposite.
Jiang Yunhao smiled, took the cigar handed by the bodyguard in his hand, lit it skillfully and looked towards the valleys and mountains in the distance.
"The Lord asked me to come and take a look. There is still no movement from the Mo family and the Li family after so long. Let me confirm whether you are willing to surrender."
Mo Xiao smiled, and the cigarette butt in his hand fell to the ground, "Of course we are very sincere, otherwise we wouldn't be talking to Mr. Jiang here."
"Really." Jiang Yunhao lowered his head and shook the cigar in his hand, "I heard that Fu Yuxiu has arrived in Beicheng. The Fu family is very well-informed and very fast. I wonder how Mr. Mo plans to respond?"
Li Li's eyes widened. The Li family belonged to the Fu family, so of course she knew who the man across from her was.
People from the Mo family.
Beicheng is divided into the forces of Baishui Hall and Heilin Hall. The people in charge of these two halls are the Li family and the Mo family.
After the last drunk incident, grandma told her that the power behind the drunk was huge.
After all, it is not the same as the Fu family.
Now listen to this, the Mo family is going to betray the Fu family.
"He came just in time. I was worried that there would be nothing decent as a meeting gift for us to join Purgatory. Now that I think about it, there is nothing better than Fu Yuxiu's life." Mo Xiao laughed wildly.
Li Li's eyes widened, this man wanted to kill the young master.
But the young master is with Wen Li now.
Jiang Yunhao nodded with satisfaction and laughed out loud, "Mr. Mo has courage. I think the Lord will like your meeting gift very much. But let me remind you, Fu Yuxiu is not someone to be trifled with."
He was different from Fu Yuheng. After meeting him once, Jiang Yunhao was convinced of this knowledge.
"It's useless. Even if the Fu family is powerful, don't forget that this Beicheng belongs to my Mo family."
Mo Xiao's words were flamboyant. Indeed, he had said such a thing before.
A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
"Mr. Jiang, does he know why everyone is prohibited from entering Beishan?" Mo Xiao pointed into the distance.
Jiang Yunhao chuckled and shook his head, "I'm not sure about this."
"Because that place is the most dangerous place in the entire G country. Tomorrow, it will become the burial place of Fu Yuxiu."
Li Li's eyes widened, what kind of conspiracy was this
The Mo family really planned to kill the young master.
She controlled her emotions not to get excited and froze in place, not daring to move.
But my legs were numb and I couldn't hold them up. I moved my hands and crushed the dead branches beside me.
"Snapped… "
Under the silent night sky, such a sound seemed particularly crisp and abrupt.
"Who is there!"
Mo Xiao and Jiang Yunhao were instantly alert, and the bodyguards around them also took out their guns and aimed everywhere.
Sweat dropped from Li Li's forehead. It was clear that she was extremely hot at the moment in a world of ice and snow.
Considering the level of these people, even Fu Yuxiu dared to attack them. She was sure that once she showed up, they would beat them to death and throw her down the mountain.
No matter what, it cannot fall into the hands of these people.
The bodyguard holding a gun next to Jiang Yunhao approached step by step. He had a shaved head. This hairstyle particularly highlighted the facial features and placed high demands on a person's appearance.
The black headphone cord extended from behind, and he walked forward step by step, his eyes sharp.
Li Li watched the feet getting closer and closer, heading straight in her direction.
The bushes above his head were slapped countless times, and Li Li was hit on the head by the gun handle. He was so painful that he dared not speak.
She raised her eyes, their eyes met, and she was stunned.
The man opened his mouth slightly, as if he said something to her.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed the gun in his hand at Li Li's side and fired twice with great momentum.
While sparks were flying, Li Li bit his hand hard and suppressed all the sounds.
Except for two gunshots, the surroundings returned to silence.
"Mr. Jiang, maybe it's the sound of ice falling from the trees."
He turned back and neatly put away the gun.
Mo Xiao glanced at the bushes where he was shot just now, and then looked at Jiang Yunhao.
"The people around Mr. Jiang are indeed very skillful."
Jiang Yunhao smiled and raised his hand to pat the man beside him who was half a head taller than him.
"Xiao Yan is my most capable assistant and has always been ruthless, but I don't want his tactics to be used on Mr. Mo."
Mo Xiao laughed out loud, "This is natural."
They both got into their cars and drove down the mountain at the same time.
It wasn't until the surroundings became quiet that Li Li crawled out of the bushes and fell to the ground with his hands and feet limp.
"Go quickly..."
Yun Xiao stretched out his hand to help her get up from the ground.
"How will you be here?"
Li Li turned around and looked at Yun Xiao who suddenly appeared in a daze.
"I followed you as soon as you came over."
Of course, he had also heard the conversation between Mo Xiao and Jiang Yunhao, and the top priority now was to go back as soon as possible.
Just tell Fu Yuxiu these things.
Li Li froze on the spot. The man just now saw her.
But when he aimed, he only hit the bushes beside her, not her.
And she could clearly see the man's mouth shape and what she said.
do not move…
"What are you thinking about? Let's go quickly." Yun Xiao pulled the person down the mountain.
Just two steps away, I heard gunshots not far away, and the ice bars hanging on the trees shook.
"What's going on?" Li Li looked around.
"It must be someone the Mo family arranged to keep watch nearby." Yun Xiao's eyes darkened.
Mo Xiao must have arranged for a lot of people to guard such an important meeting, after all, if the content of their conversation was spread.
It will cause quite a shock.
They would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go, all the people who showed up after they went up the mountain tonight.
Whether you have seen them or not, or listened to their conversations.
There is only one word for them all, death.
"The people who were following me just now." Li Li's eyes widened.
She brought two bodyguards with her when she went up the mountain. Could those two gunshots be from them
Yun Xiao's face turned pale as she said this.
If those people saw the active bodyguards, they would most likely guess that there were other people on the mountain.
In addition to their identities, one is from the Yun family and the other is from the Li family.
These are the people who are most familiar with the Mo family. Once discovered by Mo Xiao, those who have decided to rebel will not be able to survive under any circumstances.
"Follow me, I'll take you down the mountain, and follow me no matter what." Yun Xiao turned around, holding Li Li's face and commanded.
"Hmm..." Li Li nodded.
The two of them walked hand in hand along the road, and from time to time they could hear the sounds of messy footsteps and the clash of weapons in the distance...
