The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

"If you want to curry favor with the rich and powerful, you have to fall into hell and never recover. If you want to make a fortune, you need to be mean to the poor, flatter politicians and celebrities, and serve their desires. This kind of behavior is called the way of life by the world." [1]

—— Stendhal "The Red and the Black"

Inside and outside the banquet hall, the lively tea party continued.

"Parties all over the world are really boring, summer sleep." Ai Ze lazily raised the white wine in his hand.

Through the liquor, two solitary figures could be seen on the balcony—an ordinary girl and a strange brass-masked figure.Under the refraction of the glass, the two were distorted into two deformed thin shadows.

"Okay, Ai Ze, don't complain," the girl known as Xia Mian put down a thick stack of documents in her hand, "Today's business is to find Miss Pei Xiaojing to win the spokesperson's contract, this contract is very important for your career in the entertainment industry It is very important and cannot be slack off!"

Ai Ze sighed annoyedly: "A contract is a contract, it is a contract all day long..." Just as he was about to continue complaining, suddenly, the image in the glass caught his attention.

He moved the glass away, trying to get a better view.

That's right, the two people in the corridor didn't just stand silently. From the subtle expression changes on their side faces, it could be seen that they were chatting - although they didn't speak at all.

how did you do that?

Since the bodies of the two of them tightly blocked the movement of their fingers tapping the Morse code, in his view, the two of them were almost in a state of complete immobility, communicating with each other only in a mysterious way like flow. The presence or absence of thinking.

Just when he wanted to straighten up to see what happened, a third person broke into the balcony and interrupted the strange exchange.

Ai Ze slowly rubbed the thin neck of the glass, as if pondering something: "I seem to have found something interesting, Aestivation."

"Huh?" Xia Mian frowned somewhat confusedly.

Ai Ze stopped talking, got up and called a waiter, and asked him to bring a rich meal plate to the three people on the balcony, but he couldn't reveal that he sent it.

The waiter obediently went to the balcony.

William and Sherlock each took a glass of red wine from the waiter's plate, but just held it in their hands, without any intention of touching their lips.Du Ruoying picked up a plate of desserts and quickly wiped them all out.The exquisite and delicate food keeps delighting the taste buds, as if it contains a strange magic power, which makes people unable to stop once they eat it.

"One more, thank you." Du Ruoying handed the empty plate to the waiter, acting as reserved as possible.

William smiled helplessly: "Have you started to miss leaving, classmate Xiaoying?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth.

"I want you to care," Du Ruoying instinctively took half a step back, but he still brushed the corner of her mouth, "By the way, why don't you eat it? It's really delicious." Just as the words fell, the second plate of dim sum in her hand was gone. See the bottom.

"Because—" William glanced meaningfully at Aize in the distance, "I want you to help test the poison first."

An annoying cheap smile.

"...Go to hell!" Du Ruoying picked up the empty plate and slapped him in the face, but he quickly dodged it. The light paper plate came out of his hand, brushed past his ears, and finally fell into the Grass.

But it was like being awakened from a beautiful dream. Besides being angry, Du Ruoying also regained a long-lost sobriety.She suddenly realized that she was really dazzled by the joyful atmosphere of the venue, and almost forgot the business——

That is to collect evidence of the illegal trade of this dead golden retriever!

Although the pre-prepared pinhole camera has been confiscated by security personnel, it is not enough to make her surrender. Thinking about it carefully, there are actually other ways.

For example, secretly recruiting a reporter to work together...

"So you've come here, and I've been looking for it for a long time." A pleasant reproach came from behind William, and Du Ruoying recognized the person. She was Mrs. Pei Xiaojing, who had previously played the piano with William.

The other party came slowly, and finally stopped beside William.Du Ruoying clenched the fork tightly in displeasure, and the hair on the top of her head collapsed in an instant, like a kitten about to explode. She watched the other party take William's arm smoothly, with sweet and ambiguous eyes.

Fortunately, William pulled out his hand calmly, raised his hand to introduce each other for the two, and then Daimao relaxed again.

"It turned out to be Du Ruoying. I heard Mr. William talking about you just now." Pei Xiaojing smiled and reached out to her, "I really envy you. You can live so casually - you can eat snacks without worrying about your makeup, and you can be a Talking so happily with other men in front of my boyfriend, there is no need to shy away from it."

Du Ruoying was a little surprised by this prologue, but she didn't intend to admit it.It just so happened that she had long been unhappy with this man, and this way of opening could be regarded as saving her unnecessary politeness and pretense.

"Everyone, each other," Du Ruoying sneered back, but she didn't know that her sneer had already won the true story of a cheap, heart-stopping, smile, "Miss Pei, you are also very casual, in front of someone's girlfriend In front of you, you can cuddle with other boyfriends, so I wonder if there are any casual things in the world that you can't do."

"You!" Pei Xiaojing, who had never been teased before, was choked up and speechless.

I thought that the little girl in front of me was just an ordinary good student who was not deeply involved in the world. When she first came to such a big occasion, she should be cautious as walking on eggshells. How could she be such a sharp-mouthed and unforgiving guy.

Unprepared to fight back, she could only look at William aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. William, I seem to have caused her to misunderstand you, obviously... obviously I just want to be friends with her." She lowered her eyes slightly, brushing her fingers over the corners of her eyes , brushed up a wisp of hair on the sideburns again, as if he was about to adjust his makeup, and seemed to be wiping away tears that did not exist, his movements were natural and pitiful, "But I really didn't expect that such a gentle person like you, how could there be such a helpless person?" Where's Li's girlfriend?"

"Pfft, gentle..."

Du Ruoying couldn't help laughing.

This pampered and pampered Miss Pei is really a naive guy than Tianjin fried chestnuts, and she doesn't know anything about William.What she adores is nothing more than the gentle gentleman that she fantasizes that even a bug would not be willing to kill, and the real body in front of her——

Apologize to the word "gentle", bastard!

"Why is it so lively on the balcony?" Ai Ze walked over curiously, "Ah, it turns out that President Pei is here, no wonder."

"Ai Ze~" Pei Xiaojing grabbed his hand as if asking for help, but Ai Ze did not refuse like William did, which made Du Ruoying feel upset again.

"The piano music you played just now is really nice." Ai Ze complimented Pei Xiaojing and William in a naive tone.

"It's Mr. William who plays well. I'm just acting on the sidelines." The flattered Pei Xiaojing instantly burst into a sweet smile, "By the way, I want to introduce Mr. William to teach at Imperial University. What do you think? ?”

"Imperial Capital University, that's a good school."

Although every word of Ai Ze was hypocritical, but those sincere and transparent sapphire-like eyes inexplicably exuded a trustworthy power, making it difficult for Du Ruoying to feel disgusted.

"That's right," Pei Xiaojing continued, "If Mr. William continues to stay in a second-rate school like Bei Yu University to accompany those second-rate students, it will be a waste of Mr. William's talent, don't you think?"

"...Eh?" Ai Ze was stunned for a moment, and then keenly noticed Du Ruoying's increasingly ugly face, and an invisible smell of gunpowder slowly spread from the air.

He could only smile cautiously and politely, "I'm afraid...it depends on Mr. William himself, right?"

"It's because Mr. William disagrees that I count on you to help me persuade him! You are eloquent, unlike me, who is clumsy, and Du Ruoying will complain about you if you just say a few words." Pei Xiaojing Blinking at Ai Ze, his voice suddenly turned quiet, "I can help you with the spokesperson matter~"

In order not to embarrass Ai Ze, William said softly: "I heard that your country's institutions of higher learning have always given equal opportunities to everyone, allowing teachers to compete for positions based on their ability. If you want to be in the future, you must prepare seriously next time, and you won't bother." Miss Pei is worried."

"Ham, what are you preparing for?" Pei Xiaojing covered her mouth with a smile, "You just need to nod, and I'll go and say hello to the people at Imperial University. You can take up any position you want."

"Oh?" William narrowed his eyes slightly.

"To be honest, my father has a lot of contacts in the education field." Pei Xiaojing thought that William finally got interested, and her voice became more and more excited, "As for those exams, fair competition, etc., those rhetoric are for ordinary people. It’s just listening, Mr. William doesn’t have to worry about it, we upper-class people should have a set of labor-saving games for upper-class people~”

Facing Pei Xiaojing's tempting introduction, William just nodded Gujing Wubo: "I see."

This reaction was within Du Ruoying's expectation.She knew that, as a bigwig in the criminal world, William still had the basic concentration, so he wouldn't just bow and bow to others for such petty gains.But she also noticed a strange thing at the same time - when Pei Xiaojing mentioned the words "civilian" and "upper class", William's pupils unexpectedly flashed a trace of disgust.

Although I don't know the specific reason, at least William agrees with him in his attitude towards Pei Xiaojing.

This made Du Ruoying feel less uncomfortable.

But she still felt a great wave of disillusionment.She never thought that after finally getting a glimpse of the top of the immaculate ivory tower, the first thing that caught her eyes was a piece of pure black...

"Why, some people don't seem to be convinced. Could it be that something I said is wrong?" Pei Xiaojing glanced at Du Ruoying triumphantly, "If you want me to say, some small towns have been imprisoned in ivory towers for too long. That’s why I became so naive, thinking that with my two years of studying, I am qualified to surpass the efforts of two generations of other people’s families.”

"Hey——" Du Ruoying, who was offended frequently, finally reached the critical point of anger. She was about to fight back with all her strength, but a loud female voice sounded first.

"Are the second generation today so ignorant?"

The volume was not loud, but it silenced everyone inside and outside the banquet hall for an instant.

Everyone gave way one after another.

The woman in the red dress who had been with Qi Tianshu before came out of it, came to Pei Xiaojing, stared at her silently, until her face showed timidity.

"Bing... Sister Bingxi..."

"Mr. Gu."

"Miss Gu Bingxi."

"You don't have to be so serious, I'm just passing by." Gu Bingxi waved his hand lazily, "But—" She suddenly looked at William with great interest, her vermilion lips pressed against his ear , whispered in a decibel that only he could hear, "Li Ya really did a great job this time."

The crimson pupils moved slightly.

During this unusually quiet moment, Du Ruoying noticed a noisy movement gradually coming from the yard.Standing on the balcony, she saw a strange woman barging in at the gate of the courtyard, and the security guards were trying to stop her.

That movement was exactly what they sent out.

The woman in the courtyard was wearing a crumpled purple-black dress, her hair was disheveled, and her crooked princess-colored lipstick was stretched to the right, like a glaring wound.

She waved her hands excitedly, her expression was full of madness and resentment: "Mikeya, you are a brat who plays with the wind, you didn't invite me...you didn't invite me!"

"Who is that person?" Ai Ze asked Pei Xiaojing with his head tilted.

"It's just a past internet celebrity," Pei Xiaojing said contemptuously, "I heard that she became famous because of her frequent predictions of death incidents, plus she was a bit pretty, so she became popular in the live broadcast industry, and her name was 'Purple Witch' .”

"Purple Witch?!" Du Ruoying was stunned.

She had heard of this name before, and her prophecies were popular in school for a while, especially Yeats, who strictly followed the advice of the "Purple Witch" to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

"But later the police confirmed that she was just a sad woman who was used by a serial murderer. After the case was solved, she quickly lost the market." Pei Xiaojing continued, "Besides, without the blessing of live broadcast filters, she is so beautiful. That's all, naturally she will fall back to her original class."

"It's so pitiful." Ai Ze frowned. "People say that it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. She must have had a hard time later on."

"Yeah," Pei Xiaojing sneered, "I don't know where she heard the news about this year's party, but she actually only came here once in the year when she became famous, and she really regards herself as a regular visitor, so she doesn't even look at it." See if you are worthy of your birth."

As if feeling the disdainful gaze from the balcony, the crazy woman suddenly glared at Du Ruoying.

I saw her pointing her finger straight at them, and giggling from her mouth, that smile was extremely gloomy and chilling: "Hahahaha... I was not invited to this dance because I could see the ominous radiance from it. Signs, hahahaha... This place has been cursed, people will die, many people will die - you, you, and you, you will all die today!"

Finally, the security guards caught her and dragged her out mercilessly.She didn't resist any more, she just laughed crazily, with a sick tone like a dream, and softly hummed a weird song:

"London Bridge is falling down,

Fallingdown, Fallingdown.

London Bridge is falling down,

My fair lady..."[2]
