Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 58
Pippi only waited for one thing that month.
Zhao Song’s phone.
She knew he would come and ask for the key. The key is her only bet.
A week later, Su Mei called and told him that Zhao Song was still in the North Pole.
Three weeks later, Su Mei called again and Zhao Song came back.
On the second day after receiving the call from Sumei, Pippi received a strange call.
Unfamiliar voice, unfamiliar number.
“Hello, is it Miss Guan?”
“I’m.”
“I am Zhao Song’s friend. My name is Chen Guang. I heard that Miss Guan is looking for him for something?”
“Yes.”
“Zhao Song said, no matter what the lady has, you can talk to me directly. He won’t see you directly.”
Pippi was drinking tea, drank the water in the cup, and said slowly: “If he doesn’t want to see me, then there is nothing to talk about.”
“Maybe Miss Guan will worry about the safety of your family.”
“This is my exchange condition.” Her tone seemed to be a matter of fact, “Helan Jingting has returned to its original form, and I am no longer interested in your fox world. I am willing to hand over this key, provided that you must Promise not to harass me and my family again.”
There was a chuckle: “This is a simple transaction.”
“It’s very simple, but I want to hear the personal assurance from the priest.”
“Of course. Our fox clan is trustworthy. The priest’s guarantee is natural.” The man said seriously, “Then, Miss Guan, where do we get the key?”
“The key is in the underground private storage area of CCB C City Branch. Please make an appointment if you want to come.”
On the other side of the phone, a voice suddenly changed: “Miss Guan, let’s go now, okay?”
She said: “Yes. Give me an hour to prepare—”
“A key, do you need to prepare? Miss Guan, please look at the black car at the entrance of the’Jiayou Clothing Store’ diagonally across the road. We will wait for you in the car and then go to the bank together, okay?”
Three weeks later, even though it was only the second time she heard Zhao Song speaking, she could still clearly recall his Mandarin with a strong nasal tone. He spoke very politely. He rarely traveled in the south, and his accent was learned temporarily. It’s a bit blunt, with tongue curled like a foreigner speaks.
Pippi said, “Yes.”
It was a four-lane street, and waited for the red light for a few minutes. She was a little nervous, afraid of being seen by others, and sweating all over her body. The back of her head was chilly, as if a yin wind followed her.
The black car is a very ordinary brand, a bit old, and the tires are dirty, as if they are driving from a long distance, and the gray sunscreen glass can not see the people inside.
The green light came on and she crossed the sidewalk calmly.
When approaching the car, a woman in gray suddenly came down from the car. Very fashionable, very beautiful, with a bit of flamboyant temperament, like a successful female boss.
“Miss Guan—” The woman stopped her, “Please come to the clothing store.”
Pippi followed her into the clothing store.
The shops on this street are almost all individual clothing. This “good friend” is right in the middle of the street, and the shops are all the same size. The name is not very loud, Pippi used to visit often, and has no impression of the people inside.
The woman took out a set of skirts, a set of underwear and a pair of cloth shoes from the hanger and took her into a dressing room, saying, “Thank you for changing your clothes.”
It turned out to be worried about her entrainment.
Pippi stripped herself under the woman’s piercing gaze and put on the prepared clothes.
Sure enough, it’s for making clothes, and the size is exactly right.
“Can I go now?” Pippi asked.
“You can’t bring your handbag,” the man said.
“I have to bring my ID card and the key to the safe,” she said, “otherwise I can’t enter the bank’s safekeeping area.”
She opened Pippi’s handbag and threw her ID and key.
The cloth shoes are a bit narrow and don’t fit well. She followed the woman into the car, and she saw Zhao Song sitting in the back seat. He was still very polite, half-smile and said: “Miss Guan, hello.”
She looked indifferent and did not answer.
“Miss Guan still misses Master Helan.” He sighed and shook his head. “Unfortunately, Master Helan doesn’t remember you anymore.”
“Don’t remember? How could it happen? Don’t you fox clan always have a strong memory?” Pippi asked back.
“That’s when he still has true essence. I’m sorry, which “him” should I use? Is it next to the character or Bao Hijab?” He looked at his finger and said slowly.
“I don’t know his, yours must be against the dog.”
She wanted to curse “Beasts!” in front of him, and she was stuck in her heart for a while, thinking of Helan, but she couldn’t say these two words.
Fortunately, no more greetings are needed, and the door of CCB has arrived.
They got out of the car together.
“Do you have an ID card?”
“Of course.”
“You need your ID card and my authorization to enter the basement storage room, because you don’t have a safe deposit box here.”
“Does authorization take a long time?”
“No, just fill out a form at the front desk.”
“Then I will wait for you here.”
She went to fill out the form, and a security guard took them into the basement. After checking their documents, he routinely said: “No liquids, canned gas, odorous materials, radioactive materials, drugs, guns, etc. can be stored in the safe deposit box. Prohibited and dangerous items such as flammable and explosive items. These items are not in the two storages, right?”
Pippi and Zhao Song said at the same time, “No.”
“Then, please pass the gas detector. Any inflammable and explosive dangerous goods will be detected immediately.”
After passing the detector safely, they entered the basement storage room under the leadership of the security guard. The entrance was a fingerprint detector. Pippi pressed her index finger and the electronic door bounced open automatically. She led Zhao Song into the long and deep bank basement. There Helan Jingting rented an entire single room, which kept his most important notes, some expensive jewels and jade, as well as the codes and keys of other safe deposit boxes everywhere. Helan Jingting often comes here to trade in antiques.
Everything is kept in a box.
“Helan said that the things inside belong to the public property of the fox tribe and are used for public utilities related to the survival of the fox tribe. Mr. Zhao, I need you to assure me that when I hand you this key, you will not Interfere with the daily life of my family and me. I also promise you that I will break with the fox clan and will never talk again.” She looked at his face and said word by word.
There was a sardonic smile in his eyes: “Miss Guan, it seems that you are heartbroken by the fox clan.”
“Can you guarantee it?”
“Yes, I promise. I promise in the name of a priest that if I get this key, I will let you go and never come to you again.”
She gave him the key.
He opened the box and pulled out the top drawer.
There are many gems in the drawer: ancient jade, jade, diamonds, gems of various colors with extremely high purity…In short, they are priceless. There are some black mica-shaped stones scattered among the gems.
He was wondering what kind of precious gem it would be, and the stone suddenly flickered under the light of the overhead spotlight.
He fell to the ground as if struck by lightning, jewels spilled all over the floor. But he still had some strength. When he fell, he grabbed Pippi’s hand and pulled her down.
Pippi rushed forward desperately, his hands stuck tightly around his neck. But his hands were also pinched around her neck.
Being injured by Zhaoshi, his strength was compromised, but his wrist strength was still great, more than enough to deal with Pippi.
Pippi fought twice in his life. The first time it was to fight Wang Xuan with Peipei. If Xiaoju hadn’t rushed over, they would definitely have lost. The opponent for the second time was Tian Xin, who had never had the upper hand. If Jia Lin hadn’t forcibly pulled her away, she would have suffered a swollen nose. But Pippi has never had a fight with a boy, let alone a man.
Zhao Song’s hand tightened, she couldn’t breathe, and her neck was about to be broken by him.
At this moment, she withdrew her hand, exerted one last bit of strength, and slammed his face. He loosened his hand and grabbed her right arm abruptly.
The fingers tightened like iron tongs, and there was a bone pain, and she even heard the sound of broken bones. For a moment, her face was deformed with pain, and she tried her best to pull her hand from his wrist. After finally pulling out half a foot, he pinched his wrist again.
The same piercing pain made her whole body tremble. She freed her left hand, looked at a piece of slender jade on the ground like a hook, picked it up and poked it at his eye. She didn’t know that her hand was so cruel and her strength was so strong, it made blood splash on his face. But he still squeezed her wrist, the bones inside had been crushed, and her hands were like dough, squeezed by him, turning into a strange shape.
There are shimmering rocks, layers of mica-like flakes, and a spotlight specially installed by Helan Jingting to identify ancient jade.
Zhao Song’s strength is getting weaker and weaker. Finally, his body slammed and his hands relaxed.
She hurriedly got up from the ground and pointed more shining stones at his head, his body, and his face.
His eyes are getting bigger and bigger, and they almost break free of the eyeballs. But his body didn’t struggle, he just looked at the ceiling blankly. Then the whole body twisted and shivered like a convulsive patient. After a while, as if a bubble burst, his whole person disappeared from the air. Only one piece of clothing and shoes remained.
She stood on the ground, looking at all this incredible in amazement, gasping deeply, forgetting the pain.
Three shiny **** suddenly floated out of the secret room.
One is lavender, one is sky blue, and the other is light red.
She carefully opened the other cabinet and took out a crystal bottle from it.
She had no choice but to use her left hand.
Jumping onto the table, she awkwardly caught the three shiny **** in the air. The secret room was not big, and soon the lavender and sky blue **** got into the crystal bottle like two fireflies.
She stood on tiptoe and stretched out her arm to try to fish in the light red bead. Unexpectedly, the movement was too big, the bead flew down and touched her forehead, and disappeared with a “pop”.
Pippi was stunned for ten seconds, then looked at the crystal bottle in his hand in fear.
Helan’s Yuanzhu is lavender, she has seen it with her own eyes, and there is nothing wrong with it.
So the broken one, either Zhao Song’s or Aoki’s.
She tidyed up her clothes and cleaned up the ground. Putting the crystal bottle into a bag, and taking out two cigarettes with sacred wood from the cabinet, enduring the sharp pain in his right hand, he calmly left the basement.
This is the largest private storage area of a bank in City C, and many people enter and leave every day.
When they came out, another group of people also came out at the same time. She was mixed in the crowd.
The security guard at the gate looked absently, but found no one missing.
When she reached the door, she took out the cigarette and said to a person in the line: “Sir, please borrow a fire.”
