It's night, the lights are on.
A black Mercedes parked in front of Ye Paris, Tan Yao got out of the car and went around to the other side to open the door.
Shen Qian bowed out, his suit trousers as straight as a knife wrapped his two straight long legs, his leather shoes were bright and his expression was cold.
"Mr. Shen is such a big shelf!" The black-clothed man said coldly, staring straight at the visitor with his eagle-like eyes, showing his murderous aura.
Upon seeing this, Tan Yao stepped forward to cut off the unfriendly look of the opponent, "Compared with the last time the second master asked us to wait for a while, who has a bigger shelf?"
"Achong!" At this moment, a woman with long curly hair in black clothes and black pants appeared in front of everyone, with a coquettish appearance, but a cold expression. Compared with the aura of a big man, she was more restrained, but also more lethargic. People are jealous.
"Sister raccoon." The black-clothed man lowered his head slightly and spoke respectfully.
A woman, at this time, appearing in such a place, with such a self-assured expression, can make the five big and three rough men honestly call "elder sister", and she wants to come to a good position.
"Mr. Shen is a distinguished guest, do you know if you are polite?" The red lips tick lightly. Although it is a lesson, the tone is neither salty nor light, without any blame. On the contrary, there is a kind of ridicule that is not a laugh.
As for who is mocking, it goes without saying.
Tan Yao frowned, was about to speak, but was blocked by the woman's biting gaze—
"Please, please."
The woman led the way and led the two to a carved wooden door and pushed it aside.
The entrance is a huge ink screen, which happens to block the situation inside.
After bypassing the screen, the vision suddenly opens up.
The leather sofa surrounds a red sandalwood coffee table from all sides, and above it is a bright crystal lamp, which is swaying and shattered. The light is projected on the beige wall, indistinctly.
It is more formal than a bar room, but far less solemn and serious than a formal meeting room.
Just like the man sitting on the sofa, dressed in a modified Tang suit, top and bottom pants, his handsome appearance makes people unable to tell his age, a string of sandalwood beads on his hand, faintly scented, looks like a monk at first glance, but The cyan tattoos that can't be concealed by the sleeves spread all over the neck, just like the "flower arm boss" in the movie, but the whole body is as gentle as water and not aggressive at all.
More contradictory than room decoration is the people in it.
The cultivator does not enter the world.
Big brother, take root in the world.
So out of place, but weirdly harmonious.
Shen Qian: "Second Lord, don't come here unharmed?"
The man got up, turned the Buddhist beads in his hand twice, and shook his other hand back, "Thanks to Mr. Shen, everything is fine."
Two people are seated.
Song Jing glanced over, and the woman who had led them in before bowed and exited.
Shen Qian nodded slightly at Tan Yao in secret, the latter also left after knowing it.
At that time, there were only two people left in the huge hall.
Shen Qian took out something, put it on the coffee table, reached out and pushed it in front of Song Jing, "At first, in order to save my life, the second master gave me a dragon tattoo and promised to help me if necessary in the future. Today I am I don’t know if the second master recognizes or denies the one who came to cash it?"
"A gentleman said, it's hard to chase a horse. It's not trivial to let you come to me."
"For the second master, it's not difficult."
"Really?" The man chuckled. If Shen Qian is the gentleness carved into his bones, then he is the elegance of his gestures.
"All you want is your favor."
"No." Song Jing slowly shook his head, "Money debts are easy to pay, but human debts are hard to pay."
Shen Qian's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed the deterrence and warning in his eyes, "As Erye said, if it's not difficult, I won't find it."
The man pondered for a moment, then sighed softly: "Let's talk about it, what's the matter."
That sigh seemed to be saying-if you come out, you always have to pay it back.
"Lu Shen has recently been frantically suppressing Tianshui Real Estate, even at the expense of family resources."
When the two words "Lu Shen" were uttered, the man obviously paused. After Shen Qian came in, the stretched eyebrows were slightly raised for the first time.
Soon, it was leveled again, but it was no longer as easy and casual as before.
Song Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then slowly raised his eyes, "What do you want me to do?"
"The second master and the seventh master are old acquaintances, and it is more convenient to communicate. Could you please be a middleman and persuade Lu Shen to stop."
Song Jing was speechless for a while.
Shen Qian didn't urge, but waited calmly.
at last-
"Although he and I are old acquaintances, they have fallen out a long time ago. I'm afraid... it's not that easy."
"It's a fallout, but the love is still there, it depends on whether the second master can put down the shelf and speak first..."
Song Jing sighed lightly: "You are embarrassing me."
Shen Qian didn't let go: "It's not difficult and won't ask Erye to take action."
Two-phase silence.
After a long time, Song Jing stretched out his hand and picked up the dragon tattoo in front of him, "Have you thought about it? There is only one chance."
Shen Qian only said, "Thank you very much."
"Good." Song Jing accepted the jade pendant, "Ari—"
As soon as the voice fell, the woman pushed the door and entered, stood still, and bowed her head respectfully: "Second Lord."
"see a visitor out."
"Yes."
When Shen Qian left with the woman, he passed by the man in black who had conflicted at the door before.
As he walked around the screen, Shen Qian turned sideways slightly, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the big man leaning over Song Jing's ear and whispering, the man's expression became playful, and finally he shook out an interesting smile.
"Mr. Shen, please." The woman urged.
Shen Qian couldn't help restraining his mind, speeding up his pace a little, and clicking—
The door closed behind him.
"Stay for a while." Shen Qian stopped the woman, signalling that he did not have to send it again.
The woman did not reluctantly, after lightly saying "walk slowly", the two left by themselves.
"Mr. Shen, the talk is done?"
"Ok."
Tan Yaoru was relieved and was about to reach out to press the elevator, but Shen Qian stopped—
"Not urgent."
"?"
"Go to the bathroom first."
Tan Yaogang wanted to say that he was waiting here, and Shen Qian came directly and strongly—
"You too."
Tan Yao: "!"
Despite his doubts, he went to the bathroom together.
It wasn't until a series of neat footsteps came from the corridor, mixed with the sound of people talking, that Tan Yao suddenly reacted, Shen Qian did not want to go to the toilet, but stayed here!
Shen Qian and Tan Yao went out of the bathroom until the slight crash sound of the elevator door closing, and found that the elevator had stopped on the second floor.
"Mr. Shen, we..."
"Go, go and have a look."
Night Paris has a total of nine floors. The first to sixth floors are bars, and the seventh and eighth floors are not open to the public.
Today, they are on the seventh floor.
I heard that Song Jing never came forward to manage the bar related matters, and left them to the people below. Therefore, so far, the boss behind Ye Paris has never been exposed.
If it is to go to the second floor to deal with things, it is obviously not true.
And there are safe passages on the seventh to ninth floors. If Jing is going to leave, there is no need to make such a circle.
Shen Qian thought of the black-clothed bodyguard named "A Chong" when he leaned over to whisper to Song Jing. Song Jing's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, like something rare that made him lively.
…
"Second Lord, the person is inside, it's a woman." Just as Song Jing got out of the elevator, a man in a manager's uniform stepped forward respectfully.
"Female?" Song Jing raised his eyebrows, ran the beads with his fingertips, and dialed two slowly: "It's interesting."
A Chonghu who came with him stared, "I will go in now and teach her a lesson!"
"stop!"
"Second Lord?"
"How many times have you said it, don't be so anxious, don't make any progress at all."
A Chong: "..."
The manager couldn't figure out what the master meant. He rolled his eyes and tentatively said, "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
A Chong immediately lost his eye knife, and the manager shrank his neck.
Song Jing smiled and nodded, "Okay, then... take a look?"
Ari frowned and glanced at the dazed manager, "Don't open the door yet?!"
Only then did the manager react, and he should be busy.
The door opened, A Chong took the lead in entering, a pair of sharp eyes swept around, and after confirming safety, he returned to Song Jing's side and nodded slightly.
"What's your name?" Song Jing said suddenly before entering the door.
"Manager Gao, the second master asked, didn't you hear?!"
The manager immediately regained consciousness, his face was flattered and flattered, "Little Gao Ning, specializes in personnel affairs."
Song Jing stopped talking and stepped inside.
…
In the dimly lit private room, Shen Hun sat on the sofa and silently scanned the two big men in black in front of him. After confirming that there was no chance of winning, he completely stopped his thoughts and began to think about other countermeasures.
On the other side of the sofa, Li Xiaotan was holding a cigarette, but her fingertips couldn't help shaking. The soot fell on her thigh and burned a hole in the stockings, but she didn't seem to feel any pain and didn't respond.
"It's useless," she said suddenly, her indifferent eyes falling on Shen Hou's face, "We can't escape, and it's useless to toss."
The two big men in black in front of them heard the words and looked at each other, their eyes were even more defensive.
Shen Wei rolled his eyes, teammate pig!
Li Xiaotan seemed to know what she was thinking, and sneered, "It's useless to scold me. If you can't escape, you can't escape. Just like someone falling into the water, the more you struggle, the faster you die."
"Do you really want to die?" Shen Hun looked at her coldly.
"I don't want to, but it's useless."
"Ye Paris is already arrogant enough to kill people?"
Li Xiaotan looked at her pityingly, "Should you not say the next sentence, what do you want the police to do?"
Shen Hou: "..."
"I've been here for so long, and I've seen anything tragic with my own eyes. Where do you think you will end up better than those people?"
There was no fear or fear Li Xiaotan expected to see on Shen Wei's face, and he coldly curled his lips: "Where can you end up better?"
The woman uttered a shapeless ring of smoke, her eyes stunned.
Yes, where can she be better
"He... I didn't expect Li Xiaotan to be so finished in this life? Hehehe..." She raised her hand to cover her eyes, and she trembled with a smile.
Shen Hou frowned, "Cheer up."
"Cheer up! You're the fuck! If you didn't listen to you, you wouldn't be caught by Gao Ning if you wiped out the ghost files!"
"Why don't you say that when you see money, you don't know people clearly?"
Shen Hun thought she would refute, but the woman just paused, then laughed at herself, and whispered softly, "Yes, after all, I blame myself... I don’t like anything wrong, but I prefer money; who’s not good, I followed Gao Ning. That bastard that six relatives don't recognize!"
Shen Wei's eyes moved slightly: "So, you didn't send the text message?"
"What message?" The woman was blank.
Shen Wei understands.
After the shooting training was over, Quan Hanting sent her to the 4S shop to pick up the car, and Shen Hun drove the renewed little red Masha back to Shen's house.
On the way, I received a text message from Li Xiaotan asking her to meet at a private room on the second floor of Paris at 7 o'clock tonight, and pay the balance by the way.
Shen Hou thought of her character that loves money like life, and it's normal to rush to get money, so he didn't doubt it and drove directly to Paris at night.
Unexpectedly, it became a turtle in the urn and was caught upright!
"It's Gao Ning! It must be him-that bitch!" Li Xiaotan screamed after hearing it.
She was at work. Gao Ning called and asked her to go up to the second floor. As soon as she entered the private room, two big men in black covered her nose and mouth and fell on the sofa.
She didn't know what happened. It was not until Shen Hou was arrested that she realized that the erasure of the file had been exposed, and Gao Ning set up a bureau to kill her!
"Are you stupid? I won't let you transfer the money directly, so why bother to make an appointment to meet?"
Shen Hun sneered: "Transfer money? Who is it that keeps saying that she only accepts cash?"
Li Xiaotan: "..."
"Hey! You seem to like money very much? Why?" Shen Hou was suddenly curious.
Li Xiaotan had fallen into Qian's eyes in his previous life, and it is still the same in this life. But as far as she knows, Li Xiaotan has no elders to support him, and no children to raise him. Typically, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.
The place where you usually need to spend money is nothing more than wearing it. Although the price is not cheap, it is not a luxury.
So, what does she want so much money for
The woman had a meal, seeming to be stumped by this sudden problem, and it took a long time to react, "Because, safe."
Shen Hou: "?"
"Money can give me a sense of security, just like a killer has to hold a gun in his hand at all times, otherwise, I can't sit still and sleep."
"It's just that?" Shen Hou suddenly felt amused.
Li Xiaotan suddenly got upset and his expression became cold. "Perhaps you think this reason is absurd, but to me, money is everything! I can skip meals and drink water, but absolutely can't have money." ."
"What about fate? Money and fate are more important?"
"For me, money is life, the two are equal."
Shen Hun was convinced.
"When I was young, my family was poor." She took a puff of cigarette. Maybe there was someone who could talk. Her heart was not so scared and her hands didn't shake. "My parents are all workers, and there is a sister who is 15 years older than me. I barely wore new clothes when I was young, either I picked up my sister’s or the neighbor didn’t want it; when I went to school, the surrounding children could dance, sing, recite, and all kinds of musical instruments, but I don’t have anything. Yes, inferiority complex is like a shadow, following it all the time."
"My grades were not good. After high school, I didn't make it to college. I wanted to go to a college. After three years, I could find a decent job. But my parents fell ill and went there within two months. I asked later that although the disease was incurable, it can last for three or five years or even longer with medication. Parents’ medical expenses and afterlife have spent all the family’s savings and cannot pay the tuition. I don’t have to read anymore. My sister is missing again, no matter what, I can only go out to work."
"Following a few fellow villagers to Jingping, they said that there is gold everywhere at the foot of the imperial city. I set foot on that land with hope, but I was blown away by life. When I rented a house, I was greedy for cheap, encountered a black intermediary, and was raped..."
Xu Shi is about to die, and the misery and sorrow deeply buried in my heart seem to be less difficult to express.
Suddenly, Li Xiaotan wanted to find someone to talk about her grievances over the years, the scars that had been scabs but deeply rotten, and the despair and bleakness of her life, as well as unwillingness and injustice.
Shen Hun listened quietly, no matter what the other party said, she was always calm, without any surprise, no sympathy and comfort.
It's like reading a story in a magazine or listening to a case of a legal program, and this kind of calm and calm, not pretending to be hypocritical and compassionate, is exactly what Li Xiaotan hopes for.
She said this, not to win sympathy, nor to find empathy, but she wanted to say it all of a sudden.
That's it.
The audience she needs does not need to be echoed or evaluated, just listen quietly.
"I thought about calling the police at the time, but finally gave up. Because that person left two thousand dollars after doing it, and I decided to accept it without any hesitation. So, it was not rape, it was prostitution. I took the money. what!"
Having said this, the woman laughed strangely: "You must think I am very cheap, and I feel so cheap! What can I do? I need money to find a place to live, to eat, and to live. ."
"Then, I found my first job in my life, washing dishes in a small restaurant near the hospital, with a monthly salary of 2,500, including food and not housing. I still remember the joyful mood at that time, like... A light suddenly appeared in the gloomy life, with hope."
"I've been doing it for about three months," the woman took a puff of cigarette, her cold eyes were vicissitudes of life, but she was always calm, like a bystander telling a story that has nothing to do with her, no matter how ups and downs, she can remain indifferent, "and then , The flu broke out and I was infected. Fortunately, there was a hospital opposite the restaurant. I just fainted in the middle of the road. A nurse found it and sent it to the emergency room. Then, I was isolated."
"Do you know the isolation room in the hospital?" She tilted her head to ask Shen Hou.
He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, "You must have never seen it."
Shen Hui's eyes were cold, "A small house, with three walls painted pale, and the other side is a whole piece of glass. Every day a doctor will stand outside to record and observe. You want to see hope in the eyes of them wearing white lab coats, But they keep their heads down and move the pen in their hands, unable to give you any response."
The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at her in surprise, "It sounds like you've been in."
"Maybe?" Shen Hou shrugged.
Li Xiaotan did not explore the true and the false, anyway, they were all dying people, true and false, false and true, what else is there
"You are right. Three white walls, a white lamp, no one is talking to you, and I dare not speak, because every opening is full of echoes. At that time, I thought I was dying. I think back to the first half of my life, I was poor. It’s downright and very useless. So my sister, I swear to God, as long as you survive, you will make a lot of money, which is very good for yourself."
"It may be that people are cheap and hard. The flu killed a lot of people, but it saved me a life. When I was discharged from the hospital, I ran out of money, and I met a fortune teller who said that I had a long life. Fortunately, I won’t die in catastrophe, but I can’t stand the thick dragon spirit at the foot of the imperial city anymore, so I went all the way south to find a peaceful place to live well.”
Shen Hou: "You believe it?"
"Believe! I was not afraid of death before, but after that time, I was afraid, so I believed it. The next day I spent my only fifteen dollars in a black car and went all the way south. The car broke down midway. , The driver asked for more money, otherwise I would dump the passenger. I didn’t have the money, so I was left behind. A local man was caught on the way and asked what place it was. The man said it was Ningcheng."
"I thought that the fortune teller asked me to find a peaceful place to live? Just so, Ningcheng Ningcheng, is it peaceful enough? Later, through an acquaintance, I entered Paris at night."
"At the beginning, I was a little beer girl, but I was often slapped by people. After half a year, I simply changed my career to become a lady sitting on the stage. I had a lot of money to let me eat well and dress well, but I always felt that it was not enough. Can make more."
Shen Hou heard her understatement about the ups and downs of the first half of her life, and her heart was also complicated.
It's ridiculous. They had been together for four years in the last life and had blood relationship, but they had never heard Li Xiaotan talk about it. In this life, she has never met each other. She has said everything that should be said and what should not be said.
"Money is a good thing," Li Xiaotan threw his burnt cigarette butts on the ground and leaned back on the sofa back. "Unfortunately, it's almost gone."
"Then if you let all the money in your hands come in exchange for your life, would you?"
Shen Hun believed that almost everyone would be willing, after all, life is priceless.
But Li Xiaotan hesitated!
After a long while, she shook her head: "If you don't die, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to continue to be a Taiwanese lady. If you don't become a Taiwanese lady, you won't be able to make money. If you don't have money, it's better to die."
Shen Xu was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, bang bang bang—
There was a clap of hands, and the two followed their reputation...
