Hidden Assassin

As Dongfang Wan said before, this party was purely attended by young people. It was a very relaxed and free gathering. There was a buffet and barbecue in the courtyard facing the sea, a dance floor in the living room, and a billiard table in the yard beside the villa. There are computers, video games, poker, and even a lot of toys for minors in the entertainment room. Most of the participants are young people with certain family backgrounds. Some are still in school, and some have already joined large companies. Among them are talented men, dandies, nerd men and rotten women. Those who know each other greet each other, and those who don't know each other are introduced by others or approached by themselves. Apart from finding a suitable opposite sex, the theme of the gathering is probably to establish different relationships and pave the way for their respective futures.

After greeting and introducing each other to the host family, followed by a polite conversation with Lei Qing, Jia Ming's task was basically completed. It can be seen that Lei Qing looked at Xiang Jiaming with extremely powerful hatred... After all, Jiaming's random prank in the coffee shop yesterday made Lei Qing really embarrassed. After the paint was applied all over his head and face, it happened that he wanted to embarrass Jiaming first, and he felt a little guilty—maybe this was why Dongfang Wan grabbed him as a shield. In her eyes, Jia Ming has always been so dull that he would not deliberately flatter anyone or save face. If it was someone else, he would have already been defeated by Lei Qing's gaze. After all, Lei Qing is not just a useless second-generation ancestor, but behind him is an extremely powerful family.

After Lei Qing was probably settled, Dongfang Wan parted ways with Jiaming, looking for people who might be helpful to her toy factory among the crowd, and then looking for someone to recommend. Jiaming wandered around, and one or two cousins ​​from the Huang family who knew him greeted him. However, they didn't seem to have much idea of ​​communicating with this cousin who was a bit withdrawn.

Turn all the way back to the courtyard by the sea. The sun has set, leaving only the last trace of red in the western sky. The lights in the entire villa are lit up, and the grass on the long buffet table and barbecue grill is brightly lit, and the slightly salty sea breeze brings a cool atmosphere. Yahan was standing on a barbecue grill and sprinkled pepper on a chicken wing. The man who came with her was talking beside her, and while they were having a horrible barbecue, Yahan looked around absent-mindedly. After seeing Jiaming's figure, he turned his head, focused on the half-burnt chicken wings, and talked to the man beside him.

Blowing the wind for a while on the side of the courtyard, listening to the music coming from the room. Jia Ming took two skewers of fish and sliced ​​meat. He stirred up a fire on an empty grill next to him. Skillfully grilling, he was familiar with survival in the wild before, and he is also extremely skilled in these things. After renting a house with Lingjing and Shasha, they often barbecue and play on the roof of the house. After a while, the alluring fragrance has spread out.

After understanding Yahan's mind. My friendship with her has also come to an end. It is undoubtedly a naive idea to be friends if you can't be a lover. Seeing that she already has her own life, Jia Ming doesn't want to disturb her too much. He just glanced over occasionally, and the scene of Yahan, who had finished grilling, was struggling to eat the chicken wings in the corner always made him feel a little funny. Sometimes someone came to say hello to her or the man next to her, some men and women, chatting and laughing laugh. When he glanced at the living room inside, he could still see Dongfang Wan chatting and laughing happily with some people. Dongfang Road has also arrived and is chatting with Yi Huaying and others who are the hosts.

BBQ is done. Dongfang Wan, who was holding a glass of water, also came over, and gave him an ok gesture excitedly: "It's great, I met a few more people. Well, there is a family that has chain supermarkets all over the country, and I told him He mentioned our toy factory, he said that he would be happy to visit it in two days, haha...you baked it, it smells so delicious, I'm so hungry..." As he spoke, he snatched it from Jiaming's hands unceremoniously. After taking half of the food, he gnawed it up, and then showed a surprised look.

"Hey, why are you roasting so well? Just now, a guy gave me a bunch of beef...I want to die..."

"They're all people who want to do big things. I'm not interested in doing big things. I just like small things."

"If you can't do great things in the future, I invite you to come to my house as a cook!" Dongfang Wan said generously. Jia Ming smiled, picked up a skewer of fish, two skewers of mutton, and a piece of corn and threw them back onto the grill. When Dongfang Wan said inarticulately: "I also want a corn." Just now I took an extra one and added it.

Eat while waiting for the corn to roast. Dongfang Wan asked casually, "Hey, is your relationship with Teacher Yahan deadlocked?"

"Um?"

"I saw that you didn't say hello today...well, actually, there was a problem before the holiday. She never punished you before, but later she revoked the punishment. I thought you were with me again. That's it."

"Because I didn't do well in the final exam this time. So she decided not to favor me for a semester."

Dongfang Wan was taken aback for a moment. Then she rolled her eyes: "Cut...not a child..."

Jia Ming shrugged with a smile. Dongfang Wan moved the stool and sat closer: "Hey, did you see the guy with Teacher Yahan? I heard that he is very likely to catch up with Teacher Yahan. Although there is no real progress yet, But Mr. Xu Mo has never been successful in inviting Mr. Yahan to go on a date. At least he succeeded... Poor Mr. Xu Mo, so infatuated..."

"Oh?" Jia Ming casually answered while flipping through the food on the shelf in an orderly manner.

"Well, that person's name is Mato...the name is really disgusting...the family is said to be an upstart from the underworld, so he is not too powerful. But it is said that when Teacher Yahan was studying in Cambridge, this person was also Cambridge, we are all Chinese students, we have known each other for a long time, it is said that he is also a master now, works as a manager of some foreign-funded company, recently returned to Jianghai, the two talents hooked up."

"Cut..." Jia Ming smiled, and put the roasted corn in front of her, "What is hooking up is so ugly, why are you so gossip..."

Dongfang Wan is naturally not a gossip person, if it wasn't for the relationship between Jiaming and Yahan, she wouldn't be bothered to inquire about these things. At this moment, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he stared and said confidently: "Gossip is a woman's nature, don't you know?" Then he reached out and snatched everything on the grill. "By the way, give these things to me, and I will say that I baked them, and I promise to make those people look at me with admiration. Maybe we are one step closer to the next order. Haha...bye...".

Feeling taking advantage of Jiaming again, Dongfang Wan waved her hands and ran very fast, her tone was extraordinarily excited. Jia Ming shrugged his shoulders, feeling like a part-time chef, but it's all right anyway, and it doesn't matter to use barbecue to pass the time, so he took a bunch of things and grilled again. When it was cooked again, Yahan had disappeared when she looked back. Dongfang Wan was gnawing on half a corn in the living room, chatting and laughing with others, probably bragging about her excellent barbecue skills. Dongfang Lu smiled and nodded to him.

Sitting on the railing of the aisle in the small garden with something to eat, eating while the sea breeze blows, listening to the music in the living room and the laughter among the crowd. In the lively scene where there are not many acquaintances nearby, Jia Ming can always think of some things in the past, for example, the people he has killed in such scenes countless times. Whether it is far or near, it is not impossible to use a knife or a gun, or use these seemingly fragile bamboo sticks in your hands to pierce the mouth, throat, or directly into the chest in summer. But that requires extremely precise handling, and it needs to be pierced through the heart at one time without bias. After all, the muscles in the chest are relatively thick, so it is slightly inaccurate. Bamboo sticks will still break. Of course, if the target is an ordinary person, he can also make a deadly punch directly to the chest at close range, directly stopping the opponent's heart from beating with tremendous force.

While thinking about these things in his mind, a dark purple figure walked over at the corner of the aisle opposite, and when he saw him, he stopped suddenly. That is naturally Yahan.

If you want to pretend that you don't know her, Yahan can just walk over from the beginning, but at this moment, she stopped for a while, but she seemed to have to say hello. After a while, Jia Ming smiled and handed out the things in his hand: "Chicken wings?"

"Uh... I don't like to eat chicken wings. And..." Yahan's eyes were messed up for a while, and then she took a breath and shook her hands that still had water droplets on them, "And... I've already washed my hands. "

"Oh." Jia Ming nodded. Thinking of saying something in her heart, Yahan has already added a sentence: "That...grilled fish, I'm still a little hungry... I wanted to eat other things..."

After taking the grilled fish from Jiaming, Yahan sat down on the railing next to Jiaming, took a bite, then wiped the oil stains on her mouth, and said with a smile: "Well, it's delicious, it's not like grilled fish with me at all. It's a class."

"That's why I said, do you want to try my grilled chicken wings?"

"Heh..." Yahan smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uh. Why did you come here with Dongfang Wan, and you are still arm in arm... Where is Lingjing and Shasha..." She used to scold her when she was incoherent Ming Huaxin, the words now obviously have this level of meaning in it, Jia Ming smiled, and told her about Lei Qing, Dongfang Wan found her in the hotel today, and then Lingjing and Shasha pushed him out . After this series of things were finished, Yahan's expression finally became natural.

"Oh, so that's the case. Lei Qing...he really doesn't have much ability, so it's no wonder Dongfang Wan looks down on him. However, if there is a family force in the way, I'm afraid Dongfang Wan won't be able to reject Lei Qing much. These things... "

"Well, I think the reason why Dongfang Wan wants to set up that toy factory is because she hopes that after she proves her ability, she won't be thrown away casually as a bargaining chip."

"Dongfang Wan is very powerful and has a strong personality. Maybe I will inevitably be taken out for a kiss in the future." She looked at Jia Ming's reaction, and then smiled unnaturally. Shrugging his shoulders, "Well, it shouldn't matter for the time being. After Liu Wenli's incident, the family seldom mentions it. After all, I'm still sick."

"I remember that your family planned to send you to the United States for medical treatment last year. Why is there no news yet?"

"I really hope that I will leave Jianghai, and I will be pure from now on. Will no one say that you have moral problems?" I glanced at Jiaming. Yahan said with a smile, "Uh... just kidding, but if you are with Lingjing and Shasha, I will definitely object. Because this is not the right thing, anyway... it is not right..."

Jiaming was a little speechless, and Yahan seemed to realize that his words were too disturbing. He bowed his head for a moment of silence, and then said: "Last year, the United States said that there was some progress, but it was because our family invested in that hospital. They paid a large sum of money, but what they said was just nice. At the end of the year, they said that this progress might not be of much use, and it would take some time. I recently called to ask, and they said that there might be a breakthrough by the end of November this year, so I believed him. It's strange, anyway, I'm too lazy to think about it... besides, I can control it well now. Don't be nervous when it comes to kidney replacement..."

Such sad and weak words, once said. Yahan felt a little regretful, whether she was expecting his sympathy or pity, but Jiaming didn't know what to say, finally, Yahan ate up the grilled fish in his hand, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Wings. "Jia Ming passed one over, and Ya Han began to bite carefully.

"Well, it's much better than the one I baked. The one I baked was hard. I don't know what went wrong... By the way, do you still remember a fat man named Ma An?"

Jia Ming thought about it. Then he nodded: "The fat guy in Xinghui High School, the one who always troubled me and Shasha before, and later went to the Sacred Heart through your relationship... Heh, I still remember that he tried to stop Shasha from taking pictures once. Here comes the nude..."

Yahan also chuckled: "Unexpectedly, you still remember him, did you see the person who came with me today?"

"No... you want to tell me that that wretched fat man has become such a handsome fellow?"

"How can there be, huh... His name is Ma Tuo, he is Ma An's elder brother. He met me in Cambridge before. I was relatively young at the time, and I was taken care of among the group of Chinese students. He also helped me a little bit. , That time I let his younger brother enter the Sacred Heart, he heard my name after he came back, and then came here specially. Then I thought, wow... this world is really a little small..."

"Well... Listen to Dongfang Wan's gossip, it is said that he is pursuing you, and he looks very hopeful, poor Xu Mo..."

Yahan's expression froze, looking at Jiaming, hesitant to speak for a while, he didn't know whether to tell the truth to prevent him from misunderstood or to tell lies to make him jealous, but finally he laughed: "No way, it's just very Just ordinary friends, this time I came out, and I was bored at home for too long, and was kicked out by my little mother. Didn't you always say that I was lazy? I took that old car to maintenance today .So I had to take his car here...um...heh...um...".

She was talking. The eye sockets suddenly felt a little sore. He lowered his head involuntarily. Fortunately, the lights here are relatively dim, so she doesn't think Jiaming can see it. At this moment, a voice sounded from not far away: "Hey, Yahan, come here. Wanzhen and the others are here too. I heard that you are here. I want you to go play pool. Hey..." Looking back Go, Namato is waving excitedly.

"Uh... also a classmate I met in Cambridge." Yahan smiled at Jiaming. "Do you want to go and play too? I'll introduce you to them."

This sentence is naturally a polite remark, Jiaming waved his hand: "It's not necessary, I'm not very good at playing pool, let alone a child among you adults, what's the matter, there is a generation gap."

"Hehe, I'm actually several years younger than each of them. There's almost a generation gap, but... I know you don't like interacting with these strangers, so I'll go first." She stood up. Holding the half-eaten chicken wing, he smiled and waved his hand, "Bye bye."

"bye."

With a smile on her face, Yahan ran a few steps, turned her head again, but finally turned around and left, disappearing behind the white wall at the turn of the aisle. Jia Ming was eating, thinking about the meaning of this chat, and seemed to have become friends again, but there was always some lingering haze between the two, and after that, she would still maintain The attitude of turning a blind eye to oneself, such a thing, is always a little sad no matter what. .
