The music in the bar was violent and wild. Under the flickering lights, a woman with a refreshing ponytail sipped the wine in front of her. Amidst the noisy crowd, she appeared quiet and cold.
"Hey, beautiful. Are you alone?"
Holding a bottle of wine, a man in a black shirt sat down opposite her with a smile. "This is the first time I've seen you around here."
The woman glanced at him and took a sip of the wine. Her gaze then turned to the crowded dance floor. The man laughed again. "This is the first time I've seen you drink like this. The alcohol content isn't high. You can drink it in one gulp."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to grab the wine bottle beside the man. However, before he could do so, a man from the right grabbed his wrist. The man had an aura of vicissitudes, but he also had a baby face. He looked down at him and said, "Sorry, there's someone here."
The man looked at the woman in front of him who didn't seem to care about him. He then looked up at the man who grabbed his wrist. The expression on his face gradually turned fierce. He struggled and pulled his hand out. "Where are you from?
I haven't seen you around here. "
"I haven't been around for a long time."
"F * ck …" A moment later, the man stood up from his seat, cursed, and left. After he left, Xiao Meng sat down on the seat opposite him and smiled.
"He's right. The alcohol content isn't high. I can drink it in one gulp."
"I'm not a good drinker. I don't want to get drunk."
"That's true. You haven't touched it for a few years …" Xiao Meng looked around. "How is it? Do you feel like things have changed?"
Shasha on the opposite side turned her head. Her smile was faint and somewhat sarcastic. "Actually, I rarely come to places like this. You know that."
Xiao Meng could feel the other party's mood. She nodded and said no more. After a while, Shasha spoke. "Back then … Heh, if that didn't happen, you would still bring me to these places often, right?"
Xiao Meng looked at her. "You really wanted to take over?"
"I guess so …"
"At that time, you were going to university. Jiaming …" The moment he said the name, Shasha's expression changed. Xiao Meng took a deep breath. In fact, the two of them hadn't talked about these things for four years. It was mainly because of the woman's resistance. Now that they had been back for a few days, the shock from the battle two days ago had probably begun to fade. Since she wanted to talk about it, he continued.
"Jiaming didn't really intend for you to take over. At that time, he was chatting with me and said that since you wanted to play, he would let you play. At that time, he also considered letting me take over. To be honest, I really did have that thought at that time … But from what I could see, ever since Boss passed away, he probably already wanted to end Sha Zhu. At that time, he asked me if I had anything I wanted to do, like starting a company or something. He said that it was just a small business and wouldn't make it big. At that time, I felt that he really treated me as a friend."
Sha Sha drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp. "Let's talk about his funeral."
.....
"I knew I would come back here one day."
She poured herself a glass of wine and looked up. "But I didn't know why I came back. To see my dad's tombstone?
His tombstone?
To kill someone?
I didn't know who to meet. I didn't even dare to meet Lingjing. In his last days, he even told me that if I wanted to do something, I should do it. If I messed up, I should go back and cry to him. Just like yesterday, when we lived together. "
After four years, Xiao Meng understood the importance of these things in her heart. He didn't say anything. He just pushed the wine glass in front of her. Shasha picked it up, shook her head, and put the glass down.
"I don't want to drink. I remember … when I was about to graduate from junior high school, I drank. The next day, I woke up with him. At that time, his alcohol tolerance was not good. Dad drugged the bottle of wine in the villa."
Xiao Meng laughed. "So that's what happened at that time. I still remember that Boss bragged to us that you were about to graduate and could go to Sacred Heart College. He said you knew someone, Teacher Ya Han. That night, we played at the villa. We slept there. It was a mess. That bottle of wine?"
He thought for a moment, and his expression became a little sad. "I still remember that it was drugged. At first, he wasn't ready. At night, we met in the corridor. He told me that he had found a girl and asked me to put something in the wine to liven things up."
It's not that they're not pretty, but it doesn't matter who you sleep with or how you sleep with. I searched for a long time before I found it. I put it in a glass of red wine and asked one of my men to bring it in … The next day, he kicked us out of bed and asked us to tidy up the villa. A bunch of men tidying up and cleaning the place. That wasn't the first time. You guys always went over, and he always asked us to clean up … The one that was drugged was probably that bottle … "
Shasha closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly as if she was trying to swallow something with difficulty. After a moment, she opened her eyes. "Yes, Dad … he always said that I wasn't gentle and didn't know how to do housework. He said that it was my blessing that Jiaming wanted me. Alright, then I admit that it was my blessing … Ah, it's not that I didn't think of becoming gentle, learning how to do housework, cooking, and cooking. Later on, when I lived in Shazhu for half a year, Jiaming would come to visit me sometimes and I would pester him to go out to buy groceries with me. I wanted to cook for him so that the two of us could eat together. At that time, I was really … I was jealous of Lingjing and felt that I couldn't compare to her. I ran out so willfully, and I was afraid that he would dislike me even more, so I always wanted to monopolize him a little more … He also said that he would always wait for me to come back and cry. Right now, I don't know what to do … I don't want to do anything anymore.
The bar was noisy, and her voice was low. Even Little Meng couldn't hear her clearly. However, she understood that she wasn't saying these things for anyone to hear.
Just as they were talking, a group of people came over from the dance floor. Just now, the man Little Meng had chased away was among them.
The leader was obviously a gangster. He glanced at Little Meng and ignored her. Then, he bent down beside Shasha and held a glass of wine.
"Beauty, drink this glass of wine, and we'll pretend that nothing happened just now …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Little Meng's eyes flashed coldly. She swung her left hand backward like a steel whip. Before the man could react, the wine glass hit his face with a bang. Blood splashed everywhere, and the man flew back several meters. When the thug next to him reacted and rushed forward, Little Meng had already stood up. She slapped the thug's head with her right hand, and the thug fell directly to the marble floor. Blood splashed everywhere.
The scene became chaotic in an instant.
A few people at the back were about to rush forward when a blonde foreigner on a sofa a few meters away jumped onto the table in front of them. With a flying kick, several people were sent rolling on the floor. The thug on the dance floor in the distance saw that something had happened. He shouted to his surroundings. Just as he turned around, he was knocked to the ground by a black-haired man.
This time, other than Shasha and Little Meng, the rest of the members of Dim Heavenly Harp's operation were also here to relax. A few of them took advantage of the situation to attack, and some of them even danced on the dance floor. An Asian man with long hair rushed to the DJ stage and played his favorite music to match the scene. He held the microphone and threw the things around him at the backlight behind him. Instantly, light powder filled the air as he sang. The scene was very lively. Shasha stood up from her seat and said, "You guys have fun. I'll go back first." She turned and walked out of the door.
She followed the crowd out of the bar. The night breeze was cool. Little Meng, who was wiping her hands with a tissue, also followed her out. The two of them drove back to the neighborhood where Lingjing's house was located. They lived on the fourth floor of a house. Shasha went to the balcony and could see the small courtyard where the martial arts school was located. In the distance, Lingjing's room was lit up. The figure of the girl in the room was reflected on the window. It was as if they were separated by the distance …
At this moment, at the other end of the city, two beautiful and elegant white women walked out of the airport gate. Under the streetlights, three men who were waiting there came up to them.
"Victoria, welcome to Jianghai."
The woman in the lead took off her white lace gloves and handed them to the man named Peter. She did not answer, but the corners of her mouth curved into a faint smile. In that smile, her lips were as red as blood.
Five men and women with outstanding looks got into a car parked by the roadside. Under the starlight, the car drove through the streets and merged into the dense traffic in the city ahead …
The same starlight. South of the mainland, Hong Kong.
The aftermath of the incident that happened after nightfall had yet to subside. Mu Cha and the others who were injured were receiving treatment in the hospital ward. Due to the large number of casualties this time, the reporters surrounding the hospital had yet to disperse. Some of the police were maintaining order.
It was close to midnight. Near a remote pier near Qingshui Bay, some people were secretly boarding a boat.
There were not many people, but they did not look like good people. This was a stowaway boat. It was specially designed to smuggle people who committed crimes in the martial arts world to the mainland. The boat owner counted the number of people and threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground. He turned around and prepared to board the boat. In his vision, a young man carrying a computer bag turned out from the side. He immediately became alert and saw that the young man was already in front of him.
"Go to Guangzhou. Here's five thousand."
He lowered his head and took out a stack of money from his pocket. The young man seemed to know the market. However, the boat owner who always relied on acquaintances to introduce his business took a step back. "What are you talking about? I don't understand …"
The boat owner sized up the young man in front of him. A few people in the cabin also poked their heads out to take a look. A few seconds later, a bang sounded in the night sky.
Very few people could react to what happened in that instant. The person in the cabin looked at the figure outside. First, he shrank his body. Then, he took out his gun and prepared to shoot. However, the moment he took out his gun, a bullet pierced his forehead. In the eyes of the others, the first thing they saw was the smoking gun in the young man's hand.
Seeing such a scene, someone suddenly shouted, "Police!" He pulled out his gun, and the few people who didn't have guns turned around, ready to grab their weapons or flee.
Under the dim yellow light, gunshots rang out continuously in the night sky. A few seconds later, the young man outside with a computer bag lowered his hand with a cold expression. The entire cabin was already filled with corpses. Then, he turned the muzzle of his gun to the ship's owner. At this moment, the man's entire body was trembling as he raised his hand. "I, I, I … I know. Go to Guang Guang Guang Guang … Guangzhou. Don't kill me.
"… Forget it, I know how to sail too."
A calm voice sounded. The next moment, the man who was shot in the head took a few steps back and fell into the sea. The young man got on the boat and steered the boat away from the coast. Then, he threw the corpses in the cabin into the sea one by one. As the sound of the wheels gradually faded away, he sat in the cabin and turned on his laptop. He began to search for information that he was interested in. The lights in the boat were getting farther and farther away. Finally, it disappeared into the dark sea …
*****
The next day, Guangzhou.
With the computer bag on his back, Jiaming walked through a small park. He looked up at the skyscraper across the road that was dozens of stories high. The sun that had just risen cast a bright ray of morning light on the majestic words "Chaohai Group".
A cool breeze blew by. It was a morning full of hope.

Recommend a book, "The First World War of the Otakus" by Liu Shuixin. Liu, also known as Liu Shuixin, is the lover of the author of "Take a Sister as a Wife". She previously wrote the famous "The Devil's Book". Now, she's back to the starting point. Err, err, is it too complicated … Haha, I've read the book. The plot of the first chapter, "The Departure of the Gods", is quite good.
