Rebirth of the Entertainment Circle: Return of the Queen

Chapter 65 Surveillance Camera

 After recording the song, we shot the MV.

Finally, Xia Ling’s session was over, and Wei Shaoyin was in post-production, so he mercifully gave her a few days off.

She received a notice from Su Tang that the apartment has been renovated and can be moved.

 So, she simply packed her luggage, sorted out a few boxes, and officially moved. Several girls in the same dormitory wanted to help, but she didn't want others to find out that she lived next door to Big Boss Li, so she politely declined. Fortunately, Li Lei ordered Su Tang to send a few workers to pick her up, and the journey went smoothly.

Xia Ling came to the apartment and opened the door.

The scene in front of her made her stunned for a moment. The entrance was a porch paved with white sandstone, with a gurgling spring on a small rockery and mottled moss, forming an exquisite screen. Turning around, there is a forest-style living room with a soft dark brown sofa with feather pillows scattered randomly on it. On the exquisitely polished rock coffee table is a set of ice-cracked celadon tea sets.

The floor of the living room is paved with staggered wood and stone materials, and is also inlaid with transparent glass. Under the glass is a narrow stream, paved with five-color stones, and filled with colorful fish. Along this glass stream, she slowly leads to the balcony. Large expanses of green plants sway and occupy the sight, and sunlight shines in through the branches and leaves, making it peaceful and beautiful.

Under the green shade, there is a wisteria lounge chair. At this time, a person is leaning lazily on the lounge chair. At his feet is an equally lazy leopard, lying boredly on the edge of the glass stream, looking at it in ecstasy. Swimming fish under the claws.

 It is Li Lei and Ermao.

Xia Ling has always been a little afraid of Ermao. At this time, she cautiously stopped and shouted: "BOSS."

She didn't ask why he was here. He was the landlord and the big boss. Even if he broke into her residence, no one would be bored and jump out to seek justice.

The few workers who helped her move also left at some point.

Li Lei smiled friendly at her, his dark green eyes narrowed slightly in the sunlight, and his well-proportioned body stretched gracefully, lazily and harmlessly, just like the big cat lying at his feet. However, she had seen Er Mao kill people, so she naturally would not think that its owner would be someone to be trifled with.

 “Today’s lemon tea is very good, would you like a cup?” He said in a pleasant tone.

 “No, thank you.” She stood still and noticed that Er Mao raised his head.

The moment Xia Ling was stared at by it, all the hairs on Xia Ling's body stood up, and she became stiff and did not dare to move. Its amber eyes looked at her for a long time, and did not look away quickly like they had in previous encounters. Instead, they concentrated on it, as if they wanted to imprint every detail of her body deeply in their hearts.

That feeling is simply creepy.

"Okay Ermao, don't scare our tenants." After a moment, Li Lei's voice came, with a drunken and charming magnetism, "Xiao Ling, don't be nervous, it just wants to remember your appearance."

 Remember her appearance?

Xia Ling was startled for a moment. This was not the first time Er Mao saw her, so why this time...?

Li Lei reached out and rubbed the soft fur on the back of the leopard's neck: "It wants to remember not only your appearance and breath, but also every detail of your body shape, voice, gestures, and even facial expressions...from now on. , you are our neighbor, and it needs to distinguish you from outside intruders.”

 She recalled what Su Tang said about the assassin before, nodded, and understood what he meant.

The originally nervous mood was somewhat calmed down by his explanation.

Li Lei stood up from the wicker chair and walked over to Er Mao: "Come with me, I will show you your new home."

This is not her home. Her home has ceased to exist since the moment Pei Ziheng knocked her to the ground with a wave of his hand more than a year ago. Now this apartment, no matter how big or luxurious it is, is just a cold house.

 It’s just that such thoughts can only be kept in the bottom of my heart. She followed him and walked in. She was puzzled. The apartment had already been renovated and the contract had been signed. Why did she have to ask the boss to come to see the apartment in person with her? However, she soon knew the reason—

 He led her to familiarize herself with the environment while explaining the indoor defense system. There are many inconspicuous places hiding exquisite and deadly mechanisms. If you are not careful, you can see blood sealing your throat and kill people instantly.

  Along the way, I was surprised every step of the way.

 Why does she feel that the apartment she lives in is not an apartment, but a trap in a dragnet?

Unlike her caution, Li Lei was obviously very accustomed to these mechanisms and was as calm as taking a leisurely stroll. He said in a low magnetic voice: "The defense system here is a design drawing randomly selected from more than a dozen plans. Even the designer doesn't know which one was used in the end. All the mechanisms are installed separately. , several groups of people have changed, which means that apart from you and me, there is no third person who knows all the details here, so you can rest assured. "

Xia Ling nodded and felt more at ease. Such a tight defense system should not be conquered as long as Pei Ziheng didn't suddenly go crazy, make up his mind, regardless of the cost, and Li Lei would fight to the death.

 At least here, she is safe.

 “BOSS, thank you.” she said.

 This is the number of times she has thanked him since she met him. Xia Ling knew that with the meager rent she paid, she might not be able to rent even half a square meter of this room, but he generously took her in. No matter what his purpose was, such meticulous consideration was enough to make her grateful.

Li Lei smiled warmly in the spring breeze.

 He took her to see the bedroom, bathroom and workroom, and then the living room and kitchen.

“These two rooms are different from the previous ones,” he said. “In addition to the small mechanisms just now, they are also equipped with cameras. They are monitored 24 hours a day and can be connected to a special security office. If there is any abnormality, it can be dealt with in time. "

 He pointed out the well-camouflaged cameras to her.

Her expression suddenly changed.

Step by step, she retreated until she was at the bedroom door, out of reach of the camera. She held one hand tightly on the door frame and said in a harsh voice: "BOSS, please... have someone remove all the cameras."

Li Lei's eyes darkened slightly: "Why?"

She avoided answering and took a step back: "Please... tear it all down, all of it."

Li Lei walked towards her step by step: "Xiao Ling, this is a necessary protective measure."

Her voice trembled slightly: "I... don't need it."

 He had already walked up to her and looked down at her: "You have to give me a reason."

Xia Ling shook her head and was speechless.

There are some scars that can never be expressed in words. To her, they are eternal bone spurs. No matter when they are touched, they will be unbearably painful.

Closing her eyes, time went back, as if she had returned to Pei Ziheng's huge villa. In the empty bedroom, she was curled up on the ground, naked, with a gilt chain firmly locking her ankles, looking in all directions, no matter from which angle. Everywhere you go, you can see the cold cameras, reflecting the inorganic light...
