"Sensational, sensational, sensational..."
"What a lively Christmas..."
"To be honest, I like the atmosphere now..."
In the evening, the sky was gloomy and the cold wind was howling outside the window. In this villa on the outskirts of Manhattan, the contrast between the interior and exterior made people feel exceptionally comfortable. The decoration of the villa was simple and elegant, and all the furniture was the work of expensive masters. However, the living room was a bit messy at this time. Six or seven people were scattered in the living room. Some were bent on the sofa, leisurely looking at their laptops, some were tasting expensive red wine in the wine cabinet, some were watching the news about a certain explosion in front of the TV, and some were flipping through the newly sent documents with a gossipy attitude.
The man in the lead was Cui Guohua. The person looking at the computer was naturally the computer genius Fang Guolin who had only joined the group for more than a year. Steamed Bun, with a baby face and a sports cap, was standing behind her in an ambiguous posture, admiring the image on the screen with her. Unfortunately, it was winter. Even if the other party gave him a chance, he couldn't see anything from the open collar...
"I thought that Miss Jane last night... No, it should be said that after her outburst in the early morning this morning, she would at least restrain herself and give both sides a little more time to consider and buffer. Who knew that such a big thing would happen now..." Putting down the document, Cui Guohua shook his head and smiled. He seemed to be surprised by this incident, but thinking about it carefully, the woman nicknamed Tulip had always had such a strong attitude.
"That's really her personality."
Steamed Bun applauded and praised, "But what's the benefit of this? She's forcing both sides into a dead end. This is New York."
"Tsk, she's very powerful."
Gently pressing the case on the computer, Fang Guolin said without looking up, "If she really did it, she must have her reasons. Maybe she has the ability to turn North America's Pei Luojia upside down in New York!
Of course... it's not confirmed yet that she did it... "
"Is she still human?"
Steamed Bun raised his eyebrows and remembered the scene of the murder on the street in the early morning. He immediately shook his head and said, "I don't think it's her.
Even if Zhuang Zhuang appeared, it doesn't mean that place must be Pei Luojia's territory. "
"But why is Gu Jiaming here? It's too much of a coincidence."
Turning the screen to the steamed buns, it played the surveillance video of the amusement park. From some scattered images, one could see the figures of Jiaming and Marilyn walking around. Others might not be able to discover this first, but Yanhuang Awakening was secretly observing the mother and daughter. They knew that they went to the amusement park today. Connecting it to the coincidental explosion, they immediately felt that something was fishy.
Putting the computer on the coffee table, Fang Guolin sat up straight and said her judgment to the people around her, "In my opinion, this matter must be a joint work of Gu Jiaming and Jian Suyan. Because the information revealed by the internal surveillance video is too accurate, they used the most ingenious method to create a blind spot in the surveillance. Entering, killing, and coming out, almost no one noticed her. The choice of the route was almost extremely precise. If it was only Jian Suyan alone, how could she operate all the surveillance cameras under such circumstances? At least, I can't imagine how rigorous her thinking was.
There must be a bystander here. We all know that Gu Jiaming actually has very good computer skills. Jian Suyan must have taught him. And he has always been relatively calm. With him controlling the overall situation from the outside and Jian Suyan acting, this combination is perfect. "
This inference was very reasonable. Everyone looked at each other. Cui Guohua smiled and nodded his hand. On the screen, Gu Jiaming was playing games. "This guy is very good. He's not simple."
Qiao Guorui brought two glasses of red wine and handed one to Cui Guohua. Cui Guohua waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want it. Then the wine glass was handed to Guo Lin. Steamed Bun also wanted it, so he reached out his hand.
"Pour it yourself."
"Hoes before bros!" Steamed Bun gave him the middle finger.
"In fact, there were clues from the very beginning."
Qiao Guorui sat down. "During the basketball game at school, his computer skills, and … oh, that martial arts competition that Dongfang Wan hated so much when she talked about it, I guess he has been restraining himself. As a fifteen-year-old child, he really did a good job. I think he must be Jian Suyan's disciple.
If he really participated in this operation, I think the possibility is more than 80%. In time, he may become the second Jian Suyan. "
"Wow …"
Several people next to him praised and at the same time expressed their agreement. Steamed Bun looked at him a few more times. "It's a pity that he's not handsome. Jian Suyan is so beautiful … Does Ye lian really like her?"
"That's why he has an advantage. He doesn't show off, and under normal circumstances, not many people will pay attention to him. If the two of them have the same skills, he will be scarier than Jian Suyan …" After a moment of silence, Qiao Guorui said, then shook his head. "Of course, the chances of that are too small. Even if he has the best teacher, with his current personality, he won't have the opportunity to experience too many life and death situations. No matter what, he won't reach that level. What I'm looking forward to now is the thing hidden in that secret room. How big of a surprise it will bring us …"
…
…
Looking out from the window, the entire manor of the Salier family was splendid. All the lights had been turned on, and a grand banquet was being held in the main house. From time to time, all kinds of luxury cars arrived, and guests came one after another.
Sitting in front of the TV, Heidi, who was wearing a princess costume, was bored to death watching the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron on TV. Occasionally, she would turn her head and look at Jiaming, who was sitting at the dining table. There was a laptop in front of him, and a lot of white paper next to it. On the paper, there were messy drawings that she couldn't understand. This was the work that Jiaming had been working on since the afternoon, and he hadn't stopped until now. Heidi didn't dare to disturb him.
Her mother was busy in the kitchen. Since Jiaming didn't say that he was going out to attend the banquet, they decided to have dinner at home.
Occasionally, she tilted her head to look at the lively scene outside, then she put her hands behind her back and walked around the room with small steps. When she passed by Jiaming, she stuck her head out to look at the things on the laptop and the paper. Jiaming turned his head back.
"Want to go out and play?"
"Uh … No …" Heidi shook her head reluctantly, then sat down next to him and picked up a piece of paper. "What are these?"
"It's a pattern."
"What pattern?"
"The pattern of how people think and do things."
"Who do you want to deal with?" Heidi asked curiously. "Bad guys?"
"There are no bad guys, only enemies."
Jiaming smiled and felt that what he said was a bit profound. "Go out and play. I still need some time to finish. When I'm done, I'll find you."
"Uh …"
"Haha, don't pretend to be serious."
Hao Ren knocked on her forehead. Heidi covered her head and jumped away. "Humph, but Mommy is already making dinner."
"It's okay. Go out if you want."
Marilyn poked her head out of the kitchen. "You can eat outside. Remember, don't eat prawns. Your skin is allergic. And, don't drink."
"Got it."
Although she seemed to be more mature than Chinese children, she was still young, and her nature of liveliness and excitement would not change. After getting permission, Heidi decided to go out. She patted Jia Ming's face and said, "Remember to come out and look for me." Then, she happily went out.
The cartoon on the television was still playing, and the sound was still echoing. Mixed with the tapping of the keyboard beside him, Jia Ming would occasionally pick up a pen to write some words.
About ten minutes later, Marilyn came out with food.
There were perfectly fried black pepper steak, eggs, salad, mashed potatoes, and corn soup. It was simple to cook, but it looked quite delicious. "It's time to eat."
"Okay, right away.
You eat first. "
Jiaming was still deducing. After a long time, he put down the pen and began to organize the paper on the table. He looked at Marilyn, who had been watching him but hadn't started eating. "I'm basically done. Sorry."
"It's okay. I like it. In the past, Tang Jingyao … uh …" She probably remembered something from the past and stopped talking. Jiaming nodded. "Let's eat."
"Okay."
Then, the sound of knives and forks touching plates could be heard in the room. The two of them occasionally talked, probably about whether the food was to their liking or not. They were supposed to cook Chinese food today, but they cooked Western food instead. When they were about to finish eating, Marilyn looked up. "Actually … actually … Jiaming, did I cause you trouble?"
"Uh?"
"This morning, you talked to Jane."
She paused. "Actually, you've always been very restrained. If it wasn't for me … and my family, you wouldn't have done that on purpose, right?"
In fact, with Jiaming's usually restrained personality, his attitude toward Gambino and the others today could be said to be deliberately provoking them. Although they didn't fight, the sensitive Marilyn still sensed that something was wrong. Now that she mentioned it, Jiaming smiled. "I don't think so."
Marilyn obviously didn't believe him. "Then you …"
"I need an identity."
"What?"
"To be precise, Gu Jiaming needs an identity."
Jiaming nodded. When he talked about himself, he didn't use the first person. "An identity that's more specific, figurative, powerful, and slightly more honest to alleviate some potential … suspicions or risks."
The latter half of the sentence sounded like he was talking to himself. Marilyn was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "I don't understand."
"You don't have to understand. This is for some people to see. To put it simply, some people suspect that I'll be more powerful than I am now, so I'll be more powerful. They'll think, 'Ah, I guessed right. I'm awesome. I'm a genius.'"
Jiaming smiled and spread his hands. "As for you and Heidi, you just need to know that I'm me and will always be the Gu Jiaming you know. That's enough."
