The next day, Li Muye specially ordered Lao Cui to go to the street and buy a newspaper that he had never paid attention to before and deliver it to his room.
A shocking news was clearly printed on the front page: newspaper and jewelry tycoon Chalmov was murdered on his way home last night! The police found his car on the road at midnight yesterday, and his driver XX was also killed. The murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely cruel. Pictures brought back by on-site interviewers showed that the murder scene was horrific. The driver's throat was cut with a knife; while Chalmov's body was dismembered into dozens of pieces.
Diana was still lying there, naked and naked, like a harmless little white sheep. Li Muye walked into the bedroom, sat on a chair and looked at her. The sun shone on her from the window, emitting a holy radiance. This scene was so beautiful that it was enchanting.
Could it really be her? Li Muye thought of the lingering smell of blood last night, got up and walked into the bathroom. The hunting jacket she took off last night was still there. She picked it up and put it in front of her nose to smell it. Suddenly I felt numbness in my spine, and I shivered involuntarily.
"You have roses in your heart, and you can smell the tiger." At some point, Diana was standing at the door of the bathroom and said softly: "Although the British poems have artistic conception, they are too hypocritical in our land. Come here and say it’s the Russian style, does my smell make you feel sick to your stomach?”
Li Muye remained motionless, but his mind recalled the scene when he first met Diana. The moment I caught a glimpse, she was doing an extremely difficult ballet move. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but when I thought about it now, I was shocked to realize that although her movements were standard, they had no sense of beauty, but instead had a sense of power. In every link after that, she always interpreted the image of a weak and innocent girl, and her performance was almost perfect.
"It's not like I'm nauseous." Li Muye put down his hunting clothes and said, "It's just that there are still a lot of confusions."
"Charlmov is out." Diana said: "In terms of value, he is not as good as you." After a pause, she added: "And he is too stupid. If he is smart enough, when Gurnov dies, , he should voluntarily withdraw from the stage of history, instead of trying to restore his so-called oligarchic glory, let alone flirting with the Chechens in private."
Li Muye looked at her, and suddenly remembered what Chu Qinchuan said that day. It turned out that Old Chu had already guessed her origin from what happened that night, and even thought that Timov's purpose of arranging the whole thing was to make her She married herself, that's why she asked that sudden question.
"If you kill someone, kill him. Why should you dismember him?" Li Muye asked in confusion.
Diana came over, picked up her hunting jacket and threw it into the tub, then picked up her underwear and put them on one by one. Finally, she found the short knife with a gold handle and gems inlaid in the corner, and said calmly: "He defiled Elaine during the oligarch era. Na, this matter is related to the honor of the family, and I have no choice but to use this sword inherited by the family to wash away the shame he brought."
It can be imagined that this is a story about a gentleman who takes revenge ten years later.
"Does Elena know?" Li Muye looked at her, suddenly feeling a little distressed. If it weren't for the unforgettable hatred, such an extremely beautiful girl shouldn't be like this.
Diana shook her head and said: "As a woman, she is very strong, but as a mother, she shouldn't know the truth." After a pause, she added: "There are some things that you can only find the answer for yourself, things that are not allowed to be said, Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.”
"Is there anything else you can tell me?"
"Mr. Liusinsky hopes that after we get married, the new company can be established as soon as possible." Diana said in a business-like tone: "This is the best solution they can think of. If you don't even agree to a Russian son-in-law, If you do, they will have no choice but to give up on you.”
"What about you?" Li Muye asked, "I want to know what you think besides work factors?"
Diana smiled and said: "You are a very charming man. I can't say how much I love you, but at least I don't hate you, especially after last night." She detailed Li Muye's advantages: "You are handsome enough. , and tough enough to give women the experience of being conquered. This is the first time in my life that someone is willing to spend so much money on me."
Li Muye said: "Besides handsomeness, other things should be regarded as the basic hardware of a man."
"But not every man has it." Diana said: "Those who like to talk about love and poetry are all glib trash. They can do nothing but take advantage of women's bellies. "She continued: "My great-great-grandfather was once the most outstanding warrior in Russia. When he was young, he learned some methods of exercising with breathing and similar yoga movements from a Tatar, and then passed them down from generation to generation. In my father's generation, he chose poetry and distance. "
"Times have changed, and the old livelihood skills have gradually lost their value."
Diana shook her head and said: "Only weak people would think like this. My father is such a useless man. Before Elena divorced him, we had been living in a poverty-stricken environment. He spent most of his time He was drinking and occasionally writing poems that could never be published. At that time, Elena was working in a fur shop, supporting her family with her exquisite craftsmanship, and often enduring beatings and insults from that loser."
The two returned to the bedroom inadvertently, and Li Muye handed her a glass of wine at the right time. Diana took a big sip and continued: "One day, Elena was working in the store, and a wealthy tycoon came to the store to choose furs for her lover and saw her."
"Charmov?" Li Muye asked subconsciously.
"Yes!" Diana said: "I was nine years old at the time. Elena came back very late that night, smelling of alcohol and scars, and almost died in pain, but that useless man just took away The money she brought back didn’t come home for half a month!”
Li Muye asked: "How did Elena survive?"
"It was Mr. Timov who helped us." Diana said, "I will never forget what he did for my mother!" She drank all the wine in the glass, motioned to Li Muye to continue filling it, and then said: "From then on, I was determined to protect Elena on my own. Later I found the things left by my great-great-grandfather, including the short knife. After practicing desperately, when I was twelve years old, Mr. Timov saw my Because of his unique skills, he secretly recruited me.”
"The fate of you and Elena also changed since then?"
"Yes." Diana said: "Timov introduced Mr. Liusinsky to Elena, and he funded Elena's purchase of the fur shop where she worked." "What happened next?" Li Muye asked: "Didn't your father cause trouble for you again?"
"There is no future!" Diana's tone suddenly became cold, and she was a little anxious: "That loser is dead. Such a person is not worthy of being a man, or even worthy of living in this world!"
Li Muye looked at her sullen expression and thought of Charmov's tragic death, and suddenly realized something. He quickly changed the subject and asked: "Was Nicholas really your lover?"
"He was just a mission target." Diana said: "Mr. Timov set a trap for him at that time. The original intention was to make him become an American spy, but he failed in the end. The content of the easter egg was me. The copied ones were kept because they were not enough to defeat Gurnov.”
Everything can be connected in series. Li Muye suddenly understood and said, "Thank you for telling me so much."
Diana said: "If you had not taken away the easter egg that night, or if you had killed Nicholas in anger, the whole thing would not have developed to the stage it is today. In fact, I have always been curious, how did you become suspicious of me? ? Don’t deny it, we have been dating for a month. If I can’t detect your hesitation in such a long time, what qualifications do I have to carry out this task? "
"The timing, location, and near-flawless performance of your appearance." Li Muye said: "To others, there may be nothing to doubt, but to me, as long as there are enough reasons to doubt, the more perfect the situation." The more it arouses my doubts.”
"In the final analysis, it's because you are too cunning and cautious." Diana smiled: "You are really a cunning guy than a fox."
"The environment is the most powerful teacher." Li Muye said: "You grew up in an environment full of violence, so you learned to use violent means to solve problems, but I grew up in a world full of lies and doubted everything. , is an instinct possessed by almost everyone in that world.”
"Mr. Timov is still grateful to you." Diana took the initiative to change the topic: "Charmov has always wanted to kill you. Bergomi once supported his opinion, but Mr. Timov has always opposed them. Yes, a year ago, Charmov made an unauthorized decision and carried out an operation against you. Mr. Timov was very dissatisfied when he found out about it, but Bergomi and he were not in the same system, and Mr. Liusinsky was responsible for this matter. Even if he acquiesces, he can’t pursue it.”
"Liushinsky is just a banker, does he have more power than Timov?" Li Muye asked strangely.
Diana said: "If you knew that when Mr. Timov served as the deputy director of the St. Petersburg Security Bureau, Mr. Liusinsky was the director at that time, you would not have such doubts." She paused and continued. : "Mr. Lyushinsky went to City Commercial Bank after being transferred from the St. Petersburg Security Service."
After all the truth is revealed, it is inevitable to return to the original topic, talking about marriage. The untimely Charmov died, and hatred was not the only cause of his death. Failure to see the situation clearly was his most fatal mistake. Now it was Li Muye's turn to recognize the situation.
Marriage or death
Li Muye looked at Diana playing with the short knife between her palms, and then recalled the feeling of last night. It seemed that there was nothing to hesitate about. (End of chapter)
