"What's wrong with Mrs. Duris?" Pelia's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Jiang Cheng nervously. She had investigated Jiang Cheng's background and knew that he was the king of the special forces in China. Therefore, she didn't dare to be careless when it came to his actions.
Jiang Cheng's eyes stared straight ahead with a gloomy expression. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't see anything wrong with that woman. However, among the men around her, there's one that doesn't look normal."
"Who?!" Pelia's nerves tightened as she glanced at the group of men around Mrs. Duris. However, she couldn't see any abnormality.
Jiang Cheng gave a look to that side and said, "He's on the right side of the lady. The man with the big belly and blue and white tie!"
Pelia looked over there and exclaimed softly, "Uncle Kennedy, how can it be him! It should be impossible for him! " After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief, "What's so suspicious about him? In my eyes, he … is very normal!"
"Because of his gaze!" Jiang Cheng didn't keep her in suspense and said straightforwardly.
"Gaze?" Pelia asked in confusion.
Jiang Cheng nodded solemnly and explained in a low voice, "In the short 30 seconds that I looked at him, he used his gaze to look for your father's position twice. He wasn't looking, but if he couldn't see his father, he would deliberately search for him. He did this twice in 30 seconds. Don't you think it's too frequent?" Pelia looked at Jiang Cheng helplessly. He was so nervous just like that. Maybe Uncle Kennedy was looking for her father, or maybe it was just a coincidence. In short, there were many reasons for him to do this.
"Did you just say Uncle Kennedy?" Jiang Cheng looked at Pelia and asked seriously. Pelia helplessly nodded and introduced, "Yes, he's my father's cousin. He's currently acting as my father's representative to deal with all kinds of affairs. This situation has been going on for nearly 30 years. During this period, there haven't been any mistakes, so it shouldn't be him."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said in a low voice, "Pelia, do you know? People change … "
Just as the two of them were talking, Mrs. Harris was walking towards them. When she was not far away, she raised her white gloved arm and waved it at Pelia. She smiled and said enthusiastically, "Oh! Pelia, you are becoming more and more beautiful! "
Pelia replied with the same enthusiasm, "Aunt Harris, you are just as beautiful as before." She then gave Mrs. Harris a noble bow.
Mrs. Harris's gaze fell on Jiang Cheng, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She smiled at Pelia and asked, "Pelia, who is this handsome Asian guy? Quick, introduce him to me. "His eyes shone brightly as he sized up Jiang Cheng. He seemed to be quite interested.
Pelia looked at Jiang Cheng beside her, then turned her head and smiled sweetly at Mrs. Harris, "Him! He's my new boyfriend ~ ~ "As she said this, she hugged Jiang Cheng's arm tightly and leaned her whole body on him. She continued to say sweetly," I just met my boyfriend a month ago. "
Mrs. Harris had a surprised look on her face. Her eyes kept sizing up Jiang Cheng, as if she couldn't believe it.
Jiang Cheng did not show any unusual expression. He smiled at Mrs. Harris and nodded, "Hello, Mrs. Harris. Nice to meet you! Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Cheng. "He then extended his hand to Mrs. Harris, wanting to shake her hand in a friendly manner.
Mrs. Harris was not an ordinary person. Although she was a little surprised at first, she quickly regained her composure. She smiled and extended her right hand to Jiang Cheng. However, she did not shake Jiang Cheng's hand. Instead, she gently placed her hand in front of him. Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng was stunned, but then he remembered the etiquette he had seen on TV. He smiled and grabbed Mrs. Harris's hand, which was wearing a white glove. He leaned down and kissed the back of her hand before letting go.
She smiled and withdrew her hand. She looked at Jiang Cheng with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes. She introduced herself softly, "My name is Harris. It's nice to meet you. If you have any troubles in love, you can talk to me alone. I'll be happy to keep you company." There was a hint of ambiguity in her tone. Coupled with her expression and temperament, these words could make one's imagination run wild. It was very seductive.
Jiang Cheng did not say anything. He only looked at Mrs. Harris with a smile. In his heart, he praised her for being able to socialize with so many men.
After chatting with Mrs. Harris for a while, Pelia took Jiang Cheng away from Mrs. Harris, saying that she was going to visit someone else. On the way, Jiang Cheng asked Pelia in a depressed tone, "Why did you say that I'm your boyfriend? It's easy to cause misunderstandings, and it's easy to get involved in your family's fight." He suspected that Pelia did it on purpose.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I just said that instinctively. I just thought it would be more convenient. I didn't think so much. I'm sorry … "Pelia covered her mouth in surprise and apologized. Looking at her, it was hard to tell if she really meant what she said.
Jiang Cheng curled his lips helplessly. He did not take it seriously. Pelia said, "I'll take you over there. There are a few other people I want to show you. You have to remember each of their faces. Alice … her future safety depends on you. I'll say this first, if you let anything happen to Alice, then, then I'll definitely kill you!" As she spoke, her tone became harsher and harsher.
"Let's go. I'll do my best to fulfill my promise!" Jiang Cheng said in a calm tone. But anyone who saw his expression would feel a sense of security.
Pelia let out a sigh and showed a satisfied smile. She pulled Jiang Cheng's arm and walked forward. She was going to introduce him to the other people. According to Barter, these people would benefit the most from his death.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Cheng and Pelia were standing at a remote corner of the banquet hall. The two of them were talking to each other, discussing the people they had just met.
"Who do you think is the most likely suspect?" Pelia looked at Jiang Cheng and asked.
"I'm not sure. It's only the first time we met. How can I know who the suspect is? He doesn't have a criminal face." Jiang Cheng shook his head and answered. But then he changed the topic, "But I've remembered their faces and information. Maybe I can catch them in the future."
"Well, I hope so." Pelia nodded, "Dad and I don't believe that there's a traitor in this villa. But we don't know who it is."
"There's a traitor?!" Jiang Cheng was surprised. He didn't expect there to be enemies in this villa. He then asked nervously, "If there's a traitor in this villa, won't the secret of Alice being here be leaked?!"
Pelia shook her head, "You don't have to worry about this. Most of the people here already know that Alice is in Paris. There's no need to deliberately hide it."
"Oh." Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. But then he asked, "Then why didn't Alice come out to attend the banquet?"
"Well, my sister has always disliked this kind of occasion. What's more, although most of the people here know that Alice is still in France, no one has pointed it out. Everyone pretends not to know. So it's not convenient for Alice to show up."
Jiang Cheng nodded and didn't ask any other questions. He leaned against the wall with his eyes half closed. His mind was carefully thinking about the intricate conflicts in the Barter family and what actions he should take to protect Alice's safety in the future. Since the people who wanted to kill Alice already knew that she was still in France, it was very likely that they would send someone to assassinate her. As for how to guard against this, it required careful planning and arrangement.
When everyone basically finished eating, the music in the banquet hall of the villa changed to a different tune. With a man's voice announcing the start of the dance, the men and women at the banquet all moved to the dance floor in the center of the hall and performed an elegant social dance.
The elegant and soothing music echoed in the hall of the villa. In the music, Jiang Cheng suddenly heard a clear female voice in front of him, "Would you like to dance with me?"
Who is it? Who's talking to me? Jiang Cheng opened his eyes in astonishment. The first thing he saw was the stunning Pelia. She was looking at him with a smile and even stretched out her hand in front of him.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng reached out his hand and grabbed Pelia's hand. Pelia took the opportunity to hold Jiang Cheng's arm and gently pulled him back. In a flash, the two of them came to the center of the dance floor.
Jiang Cheng held Pelia's slender waist stiffly and followed her steps on the dance floor. His movements looked a little stiff, but it couldn't be helped. He wasn't good at dancing. It was only because he received Pelia's invitation that he couldn't refuse that he reluctantly agreed.
"Relax your body. Don't be nervous. The same goes for your hands. Hold me naturally …" Pelia looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile. She seemed to find Jiang Cheng's awkward dance a little funny. While dancing, she carefully guided him step by step. She even grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand and placed it on her waist. "Yes, just like this. Hold this position on the waist …"
Jiang Cheng didn't show anything strange on the surface, but his heart was beating faster. He had never been taught a dance by such a beautiful teacher before.
"Hmm, very good. You're a fast learner. You're gradually able to keep up with my pace," Pelia praised with a smile.
Ring ring ring … Jiang Cheng's phone rang.
Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. This was the time to negotiate with the Martin Gang. Who would call at this time? Could it be that something happened to the Lung Hing Society?! Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to delay. He let go of Pelia's hand and waist and immediately took out his phone from his waist and pressed the answer button. Unexpectedly, it wasn't Zhuge Liuyun's voice that came from the other side, but Alice's voice.
