It took a lot of effort for Jiang Chen to suppress the throbbing in his heart and put all his attention back on the documents on the table. At this time, he was surprised to find that the documents in his hand had been finished without him noticing.
He put the stack of documents aside and suddenly felt a sense of relief. It was as if the backlog of work for a long time was finally completed, and it also seemed to make up for some unfulfilled debt.
Looking at Xia Shiyu who put away the documents, Jiang Chen didn't know why, but he suddenly smiled.
"Are you free later?"
"Mhmm?" Xia Shiyu stopped what she was doing and looked over with a puzzled expression.
"If you're free after work, let's go for a drink. I heard there's a good bar nearby. "
Perhaps she was surprised why Jiang Chen suddenly made such an invitation, Xia Shiyu paused for a moment.
Just as Jiang Chen was hesitating whether or not to add "it's okay if you're busy", she unexpectedly nodded and responded.
"Mhmm."
…
It was already ten o 'clock at night.
Natasha raised her left hand to look at her watch, then looked at the dark mansion.
All the lights were off, and it looked like the people inside were all asleep.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision and reached out to press the doorbell.
But before her fingers reached it, the door opened by itself.
She paused for a moment and looked in the direction of the mansion. She saw an open window and a girl standing there quietly watching her.
Without a doubt, it was Ayesha standing there. Only that girl would stand in front of the window every day like a watchman, waiting for her to come back.
After entering the yard, Natasha walked through the path on the lawn, walked to the door of the mansion, and directly opened the door.
Because she often came here to drink, she was very familiar with the place. The front door of Jiang Chen's mansion was never locked.
As for why, she could ask the hundreds of Hummingbird drones lurking in the yard.
No one could approach the mansion without using the front door. If there was, it was destined to be a dead person. Therefore, he didn't need to lock the front door at all. Inside the wall was an absolute safe zone.
Pushing the door open, Natasha complained and turned on the light in the living room.
"The room is so dark, why didn't you turn on the light?"
The light illuminated the dark room and revealed Ayesha's figure.
She had come downstairs and was standing next to the sofa in the living room, as if she had been there since the beginning.
"Because I don't need it," Ayesha said emotionlessly.
The night was no different to her than the day. Ever since he awakened the "Cold-Blooded" skill, this was especially obvious. Not only did the genetic code strengthen her concealment ability, it also strengthened her perception in the dark. Although it wasn't night vision, it was almost there.
He was a natural assassin.
"Are you a cat?" Natasha complained.
Ayesha didn't answer but said coldly as usual.
"Jiang Chen is not here, you can go back."
"Don't be so eager to drive me away." Natasha rolled her eyes. "Where did he go?"
"Overtime today," Ayesha said softly.
"How rare."
"Yes."
"You didn't accompany him?"
"He told me to come back first."
The conversation ended just like that. Natasha was speechless at Ayesha's ability to end a conversation. Although she had always tried to build a good relationship with this little girl, she didn't know if the relationship between the two was even a little bit closer.
After a moment of silence, Natasha went straight to the point and put on a serious expression.
"The KGB's intelligence is that someone is plotting an assassination against him."
Ayesha blinked and didn't speak.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Natasha looked at her, puzzled.
"You don't seem worried?"
"As long as I'm still alive, no one can hurt him," Ayesha said softly.
"Aren't you overconfident?" Natasha couldn't help but roll her eyes at her again.
Ayesha shook her head.
Not because she was too confident, but because the security work was flawless. Even without her by his side, the other sisters of the Ghost Agents were by his side. And the most important thing was, even if all these factors were disregarded, Jiang Chen's strength was unmatched by ordinary people.
What's more, this was Xin.
…
The flickering lights swayed with the rhythm of the drums, and the young bodies on the dance floor crazily twisted to the beat of the music. The crisp sound of glasses clinking against each other rang out incessantly, accompanied by the clamor and teasing, adding to the cacophony.
It was ten o 'clock, and for Coro City, the nightlife had just begun.
It was funny that it was the first time Jiang Chen came to a place like a bar … if he didn't count the time in the Sixth Street.
Looking at the young bodies in the distance, Jiang Chen always felt an inexplicable sense of distance, as if he couldn't blend in. On the other hand, Xia Shiyu's expression seemed to be full of discomfort for this kind of place.
But regardless of this gap, as Natasha said, the cocktails here were really good. With his bangs half covering his feminine face, the bartender whose gender couldn't be seen shook the shaker in his hand and skillfully made a glass of blue margarita for Jiang Chen.
This was the fifth drink he ordered.
The cocktail's alcohol content was not high, more like juice than wine.
A sudden urge to pee came to him, Jiang Chen put down the glass and said to Xia Shiyu sitting next to him.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
"Mhmm."
After Jiang Chen left, Xia Shiyu, who had been very reserved, finally let out a sigh of relief.
She didn't know why, but she agreed to Jiang Chen's invitation.
She still had work to do, and she wasn't good at drinking …
But it made sense. She had been so busy with work, and it was time to relax.
Xia Shiyu shook her head as she explained to herself.
At this moment, a man wearing a checkered shirt walked to her side and sat down. He gave a flirtatious whistle.
"Beauty, what's your name?"
Xia Shiyu looked at him expressionlessly, ignored him, and took a sip of red wine.
Her cold attitude made Wang Biao, who came up to talk to her, feel embarrassed, and he narrowed his eyes. In front of his boss, he boasted that as long as the boss was interested in a woman, he could get her.
"Our boss wants to invite you for a drink. Beauty, can you come?"
Following Wang Biao's gaze, she saw a man sitting on the sofa in the corner of the bar with two beauties on his left and right raised his glass to her with what he thought was a cool gesture. The naked smile made Xia Shiyu feel nauseous.
Seeing this, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but laugh. Why did so many people always feel good about themselves?
"No need."
"I advise you to think about it." Wang Biao grinned, and a hint of unfriendliness flashed in his narrowed eyes. "Do you know who our boss is?"
The bright red wine reflected an impatient face. Xia Shiyu gently shook the glass and said in a cold tone.
"Who?"
"Have you heard of the Green Dragon Gang?" Wang Biao chuckled and said in a confident tone, "Everyone in the underworld knows that no one dares to say no when I, Biao Zi, do things. I advise you to be obedient. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you get tricked. "
"Really? But I haven't heard of it. "
A discordant voice came from behind. Wang Biao frowned and turned around.
The dim light made it impossible for him to see the person's face, but just by looking at the outline, he felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.
"Who are you?"
[Is this the sequelae of immigration?]
Looking at the small fry in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
The current Xin was just like the United States in the 19th century. Not only did the immigrants yearn for a better life smell the fragrance of freedom, but also the criminals who crossed the ocean. If this hidden danger was not solved soon, it would definitely ferment into a serious security problem in the future.
It seemed that it was necessary to do something.
Seeing that the person in front of him didn't answer, being ignored twice completely infuriated Wang Biao. It was the first time he, who was known as Biao, suffered such humiliation.
"You dare to be absent-minded when I'm talking? Are you tired of living?"
Wang Biao snorted and reached out his hand to Jiang Chen's neck. His other hand took out a bottle of wine.
He made up his mind to strangle this idiot's neck, push him into the toilet, and teach him humility.
However, he didn't get what he wanted.
Wang Biao's outstretched hand seemed to be embedded in a transparent wall. He couldn't advance or retreat, and his face gradually turned the color of pig liver.
The change happened in an instant, so no one could react. The onlookers were stunned at first, then they all moved back to avoid being accidentally injured. The bartender at the bar was still calmly wiping the glasses. When she was mixing the drinks, she obviously recognized Jiang Chen's identity, but she didn't say it. Xia Shiyu's heart jumped to her throat, but it quickly returned.
Because she suddenly realized that with the protection of the Ghost Agents, how could Jiang Chen be hurt by this small fry.
The optical invisibility gradually disappeared. Zhu Yu, who stood half a step in front of Jiang Chen, calmly squeezed the man's hand. The power injected with the genetic vaccine was not something this small fry could look down on.
The light here was very dim. Only a few people standing nearby saw Zhu Yu appear in front of Jiang Chen out of thin air.
Facing the woman who "appeared out of thin air" in front of him, Wang Biao's eyes almost popped out. [Did I see a ghost, or am I drunk?]
Seeing that there was a commotion here, the surrounding onlookers all gathered around and shouted.
"Beat her up!"
"Don't be scared, fight her."
"Fu * k, you can't even beat a woman. Brother, are you still a man?"
However, Wang Biao didn't dare to make a move. He gradually realized that he may have kicked an iron plate.
Zhu Yu was indifferent to the crowd's jeering. She only whispered to Jiang Chen in the communication channel about what to do.
Jiang Chen didn't answer, but walked around Zhu Yu and stood in front of Wang Biao.
"I don't care if you are Azure Dragon or White Tiger, and I don't care if you are a Biao or a bitch." Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile and said the words that made Wang Biao feel like he fell into an ice cave. "If you have heard of Future Group, then you should know who the 'boss' here is."
