Heather who counterattacked

As the host of the banquet, Aurora is of course the center of attention.

The choice for the opening dance was not some respectable gentleman or celebrity, but the hottest upstart rich man in Madrid today.There is no ambiguity between the two, but this move is enough to show the attitude of the Kane family after the change of the principal. Although this family is based on industry, has a long history and a rich reputation, but just like the current owner Xianyan is generally young, and it will also be full of new vigor and vitality.Kane will not resist change, nor will he shy away from a challenge.

Therefore, in view of the solemn and special significance of the banquet, in order to show enough respect, the second-generation patriarchs who were present were obviously reminded by their elders not to be rude.So the young man in front of him who dared to invite him to dance was indeed the first one tonight.

"Beautiful young lady," said the low-pitched voice that has gone through the voice-changing period, with an inexplicable smile of joy, a young man with a calm demeanor, but the slight movement of his eyes sets off the youthful and undisguised agility, "Can you please dance?" A dance?"

The moment Aurora saw him, her face froze slightly, but she recovered immediately.

Fear of exceptions to everything.Accepting this dance means that she can't find a reason to refuse future invitations, but she also recognizes the person in front of her. Whether it's the background of the other party's political background or the friendship of old schoolmates, it is not a good idea to refuse.

The balance of pros and cons has already been analyzed at the moment when the eyes met. At the end of everyone's gaze, the girl in the red dress raised her head and stretched out her hand. Her words were modest, her posture was dignified and her bones were tempered with pride: "My honor."

With the two hands held together, the syllables like flowing water were quietly opened, and the waltz kicked off.

Cyril stood in the dark watching this scene, frowning slightly.

how to say.It's not tricky, but it's really a little bit unprepared.At least he didn't remember it at all before, and he missed someone out of the investigation!

Xia Lei Coffey, Aurora's classmate when she was young, didn't have a deep friendship, but she could barely be regarded as her childhood sweetheart - of course, Cyril would ignore him so easily, maybe she was not the same as the person in front of her in the original memory For profound reasons.

Those who have a major entanglement in Aurora's life are the ones he has to be on guard against.Any one of them has an extremely troublesome energy, which will disrupt the rhythm of his layout at any time, so Cyril will not relax his attention, but what about a person who will be cannon fodder for himself before causing a storm?

In that fate, Xia Lai's love for Aurora can be called sadness.The fiery enthusiasm of young people is not mixed with any interests, and it is even purer than the original Cyril, but if you love so much that you are almost humble, and you love so much that you give up your personality for the other party, how can you still get it? Respect from others?Without waiting for others to cannon him, Xia Lai was spoiled by Aurora... With such a person, it's no wonder that Xi Ruier didn't put him under his nose at all.

But Cyril is also very clear about what Xia Lai's appearance indicates.The story has officially begun!

The huge and unpredictable fate smiled provocatively at him.

Probably because his expression was too serious, the woman who stepped back to his side was startled.

"You don't have to worry." Wendy looked up at him and comforted, "Your girl is stronger and smarter than you think. She already has the ability to handle this situation smoothly."

Although what she was comforting was not the same thing that he was worrying about, it was true in a way, and it was comforting.

Xi Ruier lowered his eyelids, and when he turned his head to look at her, he smiled wildly: "You're right."

As a result, Wendy, who was not moved by the wind and waves, was fascinated by the smile for a moment, her heart was pounding, and her chest was aching from the joy of being flattered, and then she laughed too.

Convinced that Aurora is enough to support the scene, Cyril is ready to leave first.As soon as he turned around, he heard a soft voice from the micro-connector on the collar pin: "Boss, it's ten o'clock."

Cyril raised her chin slightly, glanced over from the corner of her eye, and saw a face that was not unfamiliar.

In the next second, he turned half of his face to the side.The man with the pseudonym Robert was staring at him, noticed that he was looking over, and raised the wine glass full of white wine in his hand to him, the smile on his face was just right, like a frozen oil painting, even the curvature of the corner of his mouth After precise measurement.

Cyril stared at him indifferently for a moment, then turned and left, stepped over the carved pillars, turned from the aisle to the stairwell, and then said in a low voice: "Please Mr. Robert to the living room."

Isaac's banquet hall is rarely used, and it will be lively only on extremely important occasions.But in fact, this hall is an independent building. There are all kinds of suites on the second floor. Even if you have a carnival all night, you can provide thoughtful service. The floating passage on the third floor connects the main building of Kane’s mansion. Madame's place, and Cyril's on the other side.

Not long after he sat in the living room, Naiden just put the black tea in front of him when the bell inside the door rang.Naiden walked over to open the door, and was not surprised when he saw the person coming. He bowed slightly and said "Come in", then carefully closed the door, walked back to the tea table, poured a cup of black tea for the guest, and stood behind the sofa.

"Good night, Your Excellency." The visitor smiled, but took off his hat first to salute.

"Please sit down." Cyril said noncommittally.

Robert sat down without a trace of restraint, put his hat on his side, and calmly picked up the ceramic teacup.

"Dahongpao! Good tea." Obviously he is also very knowledgeable about tea. He politely took a sip of tea and was about to express his admiration, but the taste of the tea rolling on his tongue made the expression on his face freeze. In an instant, followed by some disbelief, "Mother tree?"

In modern society, the north, south, east and west are unimpeded, but in the eyes of some people, the cultural differences between the east and the west are still covered with a veil of mystery permeated by history.Most people prefer the simple style of milk tea and cola, but the enthusiasm for porcelain and ancient tea, which are hard to find, will probably not change, because it is a historical gene.The age of frenzied sailing has gone through a lot, but there are always some things that have been passed down from generation to generation of mixed races through the changes of the times, and they still remain in the bones.

Of course this is just about tea.For those who are familiar with tea, what is the value of being on the top of a mountain named Wuyi in a distant ancient country, the mother tree Dahongpao, which has been specially monitored by the authorities and stopped picking four or five years ago.

After all, in that country, the forces of darkness cannot spread blatantly, and the tentacles of the shadow world are often strangled before they are deployed. Once they step into the national border, they will fall into a passive situation that must be broken into pieces... It is like a long history, a vast world. The top taste accumulated layer by layer in the turmoil of the times is priceless and hard to find.

"It's not as complicated as you think." Cyril held the cup in his hand, and looked away from observing the expression of the visitor, "It's just a thing...to symbolize the hospitality of the other party." Without the slightest anxiety of opening his eyes and talking nonsense, he The voice is low but the sound quality is extremely moving, but there is no tone, "Anything that costs more than expected, no matter how rare it is, I will not want it."

Robert's pupils flickered unknowingly, such a powerful subtext.

The first half of the sentence implicitly expresses the position.In a country where the Bai Dao rules the world, such "hospitality" can only be experienced when facing equal or similar individuals.Although His Excellency the Duke is involved with the Gray Way, he is completely white after all.He didn't make it clear that his hands could really be stretched that long, because in the eyes of everyone, he was already superior.

The second half of the sentence is warning him that no matter what the purpose of coming is, it is best not to think about calculating him.It is really not easy to impress such a person who has a noble status, a wealth that rivals a country, and an aristocratic lazy and indifferent outlook on life in his bones.

But Robert just smiled slightly: "Your Excellency was joking. If I can get a compliment from you, it must be delivered to you, so as to live up to... warm and hospitable."

The word at the end was too subtle, and he obviously understood what he had hinted earlier.These words sounded like sarcasm, but on such occasions, they wanted to show a very low profile.

But let him believe that there is a free lunch in the world?hehe.

Xi Ruier stared at him calmly for a long time, then said lightly: "That depends on what it is."

This man is quite mysterious.Appearing as an agent, the name used in front of people has always been Robert, which is quite connotative. Everyone knows what robot refers to—but just as no one knows who the real master behind him is, there is no way of knowing his identity. start.Since Cyril only stepped on the gray path with half of his foot, it is accurate to count, and the number of times he has dealt with him is indeed quite large. The most recent time happened to be at the trade fair of the Leng Feixi Night Banquet, and he was the number one in the sequence at that time. Two guests.

Most of the guests invited to this banquet were celebrities from all walks of life in Spain, and the screening of their identities was not strict.It's not difficult for him to come in, but this posture of coming straight to him surprised Xi Ruier, why must he be found?

When Robert put down his teacup and looked at others politely, his elegant and elite temperament became more and more obvious.Knowing that going around in circles will have no effect on the person in front of him, he said straightforwardly: "Are you interested in Hammock?"

Cyril quickly searched for any information about this term in his mind, and then slowly said: "Left Denise?"

Robert's expression was very focused, and he crossed his fingers in front of him, which was a sign of some kind of negotiation: "Yes, sir. Hamerck of Zuo Dan."

"I don't have any interest in the Far East." Cyril refused slowly, with a steady and unrestrained voice, but the corners of his brows slightly raised, which can be seen by those who are familiar with him. This is actually a kind of "interesting" attitude.

Is it the lack of interest in the Far East, rather than the lack of interest in the Hammock Laboratory?Robert was keenly aware of the hidden meaning of the other party's words.The more I get in touch with this lord, the more I am truly amazed by his wisdom and ability.Dealing with smart people is naturally easy, but how timid and cautious do you have to be when dealing with people who are much smarter than yourself to ensure that you don't get cramped?

Robert smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "So, what if it is nearly half of Hammock's researchers?" His voice slowed down, but the protracted tone seemed more tempting: "There is a risk, we take it——in front of you, we will never Dare to say, as a frequent visitor of Leng Feixi, you also know that we insist on credit and reputation—but you must be one of the links in CASE."

As soon as these words came out, Xi Ruier wanted to see off the guests directly.All troubles start with curiosity!

But after a moment of silence, he still spoke: "Say."

Robert said: "After the Zuo Denise incident, Hammock has not appeared in front of people for more than ten years, but as the last non-staff research institute still operating after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, you are not curious that in that case, the official can still What is the scientific research project that excludes the support of public opinion?"

Cyril thought about it.Then his heart moved slightly.

Excluding those unimportant branches and vines, in fact, the essence of Hammock is still a biological research institute.From biological weapons to genetic engineering, the Soviet Union and the United States have engaged in an arms race for more than 40 years. It would be a lie to say that there is no goods in hand.The scariest thing about biological research is not that it is powerful and unpredictable, but that human beings are also creatures.The turmoil of the disintegration of the former Soviet Union exposed some dark things, which caused the riots and threats of public opinion in the left Denise area more than a decade ago. It was down, but I really didn't expect that Russia would let it continue to operate.

As far as the exact research project is concerned, Cyril can't guess it, and it's not something simple that can attract the eager attention of Robert and the people behind him-Syril was just thinking that the other party put this news in front of him intention.

He does have two labs.

Metia is synthetic, and it is Atlantis that is really leaning toward biology.However, Metia is under the sun and is open to the whole world, while Atlantis is a completely secret research base.If the reason why the other party was looking for him was Atlantis, then he would have to worry about the source of the other party's information.

But for the answer to the previous question... "I don't want to know." Cyril said lightly, "Continue."

Since he put on a negotiating posture, the other party must have a bargaining chip to impress him.Anyway, the decision rests with him, and what he wants to see now is that the other party will show all the cards they use to persuade him.

Robert knew that he could not use the thinking of ordinary people to infer the person in front of him, so he paused and said: "Your Excellency, I think you need to know that Hammock has obtained the final results of its more than 30 years of research, and I and I The team behind it is very interested, but since about mid-June, there hasn't been a Hammerk in the world."

It is still the beginning of May, which means that there is accurate news that in more than a month, Hammock will be taken away entirely?Who has the ability? ...Russia itself.

"Unload the grind and kill the donkey?" Cyril narrowed her eyes slightly.

Robert laughed: "Not yet. Russia is not all on the same rope. The military has military considerations, and the authorities have government considerations, but who can say that Hammerk himself has no voice? About Hammer In recent years, there have been few discussions about whether Hammock should exist, because the existence of Hammock is because of that research, and there was a deadline for the research budget and support at that time, but no one thought of it. When the deadline came, the research turned out to be a success."

The tendency of power and authority, the turmoil of the political situation, and the changes of the time world will all lead to fundamental changes in past policy discoveries.And the research institute itself will not be of one mind, so there is the possibility of tampering.

Cyril thought for a moment, and already figured out the general clue, he squinted his eyes calmly: "In other words, the news about the success of the research is still limited to a few people in Hammock, and... you. You want to get...results before the news is leaked?"

But it has nothing to do with him at all, does it?Xi Ruier was curious how the person in front of him would persuade himself to wade into the muddy water.

Once the news leaked, not only the research institute and the Russian military and political parties were involved, but the whole world wanted to join in the fun to see if they could make a fortune, especially... the United States.Xi Ruier's brows twitched slightly, and he suddenly guessed a bit.

Sure enough, Robert then began to persuade sincerely: "Yes. The problem is, we can't guarantee that the news will not leak out. Therefore, we want to seek cooperation with you. After all... your Metia was built in the United States."

Cyril glanced at it and corrected: "Caribbean."

Robert laughed: "Okay, it was built in the Caribbean. In such a chaotic area, without some support from the US government, it would not be easy to establish a solid foundation and be independent of research, is it Your Excellency?" Most people can tell it at a glance, but they have definite news that Metia has a close relationship with the Blackwater Company, and the cooperation with the US military is not easy.

"Bai Dao can't intervene openly, so in the end it has to be implemented in a gray area," he smiled more sincerely, "If Black Water comes forward, then Metia..." He raised his head and didn't go on, but they both knew what it meant bright.

Ming people don't speak dark words. To cooperate with His Excellency the Duke, you must first lower your stance, hand over the initiative, and then turn over the cards that should be turned over, so that there is no possibility of discussion.

In their opinion, there is simply no more suitable candidate than this!

The gray way basically only lends force, and the tasks related to the research institute must involve professional knowledge, and the cooperation between the two is justified.If there is not enough black water, the possibility of finding Metia as a technical reserve is very high.The gentleman in front of me has a strong background and great energy, and has nothing to do with polar bears; moreover, although his subordinate laboratory has something to do with the United States, he does not have much inclination towards the United States; more importantly, he is an outsider.If only he could be dragged into the water...

But Cyril remained expressionless.What we are talking about now is that the other party intends to die. He is very fighting spirit and is ready to take on the polar bear, free eagle and many other forces that are eyeing him, but it is none of his business to die!

"And then?" He just said lightly.
