Actor, is it a joke?

The gradually setting sun gave the family a perfect excuse to have dinner together. The chefs in the manor whose hands had already been rusted began to be busy for the first time, trying hard to cook a simple, delicate and elegant dinner to escape from the The bad luck of being expelled from the overstaffed corpses.

Rong Yutang was weak and was not suitable for the wind, so Lu Wang caringly helped her into the living room.

Baige stayed in the courtyard for a walk, staring at a bronze stag playing by the European-style fountain, and the evening wind blew his curly brown hair into waves.

"Do you have any cigarettes?" He stretched out his right hand in his pocket, palm facing up.

"They said you quit."

"them?"

"Xiao Tu...that group of people."

"Oh, a bunch of nosy guys."

Xu Chengdu stared at Baige's right hand for one second, two seconds, without any signs of retreating. His slender fingers kept stubbornly curled up all the time, clamoring silently, swearing not to give up.So he sighed, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, and put them on.

One end of the cigarette was put between the lips, and the other end was lit by the lighter.When the dried and chopped tobacco emits a faint red light, which brings short-term joy to the human body, and is exhaled again, their mission is considered complete and they are completely free.

Xu Chengdu stood half a step behind him, looking at Baige's three-dimensional and profound profile as the fireworks flickered.

They stood like this for 20 long seconds.

Xu Chengdu was waiting, experience told him that silence is the most effective way to make people speak.In the interrogation room, those liars who like to quibble and lie without drafting will eventually be defeated in the long silence with threats and warnings in the eyes of the interrogator.For this kind of people, silence is like Ling Chi torture. It hurts their hearts invisibly, making them overwhelmed and automatically start talking.

"In your eyes, we must be a harmonious and friendly ordinary family." There was a smile on Baige's thin and dry lips, "In fact, not only in your eyes, but in the eyes of all outsiders, this family treats each other as guests. Almost 20 years of peaceful coexistence. We're all used to it."

Xu Chengdu stared at his toes nervously, listening to his steady heartbeat, "However?"

"However, this is just, a long-lasting drama, staged is..." The words were disconnected in the middle, as if the master was thinking about how to word, and after two seconds, it was reconnected, "The strong Fighting against each other, and escaping from the cracks of the weak."

Speaking of this matter, the strong and the weak are opposed, and the camps have been divided.

Breathing out the suffocated breath, Xu Chengdu withdrew from the self-doubt just now, and took a half step forward, "Actually, the ending of this kind of drama often has a shocking reversal, and the weak will always win at the last second , turned the tables in one fell swoop."

Baige was smoking a cigarette, his eye sockets were reddened by the smoke, he looked carefully at that sharp and resolute face, and suddenly asked: "Adu, do you still remember the kidnapping in the sophomore year of high school?"

"Of course I remember." Xu Chengdu raised his brows, and his tone showed some pride, "If it wasn't for me, you might have been kidnapped by those brutal kidnappers on the spot..."

The words came to an abrupt end, and he suddenly widened Danfeng's eyes, and any terrible thoughts were fleeting.When I was young before, I never thought about what might be hidden behind a kidnapping, and I never looked into the strangeness of the kidnappers. Now that I think about it seriously, there are doubts everywhere.These doubts all point to the same possible motive.

They didn't want money from the beginning, they went for Baige's life!

who is it?Lu Wang?

"Ah, I really envy you." Baige took down the cigarette and extinguished it, "I don't remember the kidnapping."

"Well... I should say, I can't remember." He tilted his head and added another sentence.

Water drops from the fountain danced around the feet of the wet bronze stag. Xu Chengdu held his heart up and down like a water column. The only clear thought in his mind was: He had never been so close to the real Baige like this before. .

"I'll help you." He said softly.

A gentle smile floated in Baige's eyes, "You just need to stay by my side."

The living room was silent, under the soft light of the crystal chandelier, the two sat face to face, and the air was filled with the smell of confrontation.

Rong Yutang sank her exhausted body into the deep and white sofa, her unusually slender and white wrists were folded and placed on her knees, the green jadeite bracelet without any impurities set off her black color The cheongsam emitted a cold and indifferent light.

She supported her slender and proud swan neck, half-closed her eyes and looked at the man opposite, her husband, and waited patiently for his answer.

Five minutes ago, she asked about her son's near-miss car accident a few days ago.

If it weren't for the slack lines on her neck that couldn't be concealed, she would still be the arrogant and wealthy queen, saying that I married you only because of your dog-like loyalty... This kind of arrogant and ridiculous nonsense.

Lu Wang sneered, showing a sharp smile, his black cane knocked on the floor unconsciously, making a thumping noise, thinking he could create an aura that would be beneficial to him.

"Yutang, what? Even if you don't believe in the private agreement based on the decades of marriage between us, you should believe in the business contract. As long as our son doesn't have any intention of regaining his honor, I will never touch him .do not worry"

The Yutang sound made Ms. Rong grit her teeth to restrain the urge to spit it out. She pursed her pale thin lips, her shoulders trembled, and she coughed a few times, "You have been probing for so many years, you should rest assured, Ge He's got his own business. And..."

The weak woman has experienced ups and downs and intrigues for most of her life, and her eyes have been tempered sharply and viciously, "You seem to have mistaken the relationship between A and B. The correct condition should be that if you dare to act aggressively towards our mother and son, you can Pack your luggage in advance and head out for a long trip."

"Does Madam still think that the half of the shares she holds can be of great use?" The speed of the cane hitting the floor was slightly faster, and Lu Wang pressed two fingers on his temples, with a look of disdain, "Don't forget , the current Honor, surnamed Lu."

"Oh? I'm very nostalgic, but I thought it was Rong." Rong Yutang freed her hand and smoothed her hair on her forehead gracefully. "If you don't believe me, Mr. Lu might as well give it a try."

Eyes collided in mid-air, needles pointed, sparks burst, and no one would back down.

Lu Wang stared and sneered, "Madam should make good use of the bargaining chip in her hand. If I really try one day, don't complain."

"I can't bend." Rong Yutang's beautiful eyes opened like a pond, "Mr. Lu may not have read much, so I have to remind you. In this world, there are many checks and balances, and there are many It's a deadly way. If you want people not to know, unless you don't do anything yourself, Mr. Lu is cool enough, so he should stop."

Hearing this, Lu Wang's heart was shocked, and he looked at Rong Yutang with suspicion.

I wanted to test a few more words, but Rong Yutang changed into a flawless smile in an instant, "Ge'er, come to Mom, I have to question you about some things."

The moment Baige stepped in from the door, he sensitively sensed that the atmosphere in the living room was not right, but he did not hesitate at all, "What? Did you see any weird scandals on the Internet again?"

Rong Yutang took out her mobile phone from the small handbag she carried with her, searched for a long time on the screen, clicked on a picture to enlarge it, "That's it, this one called An Mu, what does it have to do with you? , very upset."

"The younger generation I made friends with while filming was quite talented, so I gave him a hand." Baige glanced at him casually and explained casually.

"I'm not worried about any ambiguous relationship between you. It's just that this girl is not innocent, and vicious incidents like throwing sulfuric acid have happened. If it wasn't for your bodyguard this time, wouldn't you have really done something?" Rong Rong Yutang looked worried, "Even if it's just a friend, you have to stay away from her."

"Yeah, you have to pay attention to your personal safety." Lu Wang on the side emphasized without hesitation, "Which bodyguard is protecting you this time? You need to give him a raise!"

"It's at the door." Baige raised his finger and called out, "Ma Zhe, come here."

Xu Chengdu was called in out of nowhere, and stood in front of this dark and turbulent family with lowered eyebrows.

"The young man is really energetic." Rong Yutang praised casually, and then said nothing.

Lu Wang, on the other hand, stood up from the sofa, carefully looked up and down Xu Chengdu, his eyes showed admiration, then patted his shoulder, and stretched out his hand, "Ma Zhe, right? Good job."

Xu Chengdu nodded, resting his chin on his chest, he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Wang's hand, "Mr. Lu is over the top."

Lu Wang shook hands vigorously, and lowered his voice, "The future will be long, I hope you can do what I tell you so well in the future. In terms of remuneration, Meng Yahu will not treat you badly."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Lu."

At this moment, the butler who was waiting in the restaurant came over to announce that the food was ready, Lu Wang let go of his hand, laughed twice, and walked into the restaurant leaning on his cane.

During the conversation, Xu Chengdu lowered his head and took a close look at the cane. The whole body was pitch black, and there was an imperceptible slit at the connection between the handle and the body of the cane, hidden in the complicated retro patterns.There is normal wear on the raised shank at the top of the handle, but there is also slight wear on the handle near the slit. The only possibility of wear at this position is that you need to unscrew the stick from the slit from time to time to remove the contents.

What could be hidden inside?

Xu Chengdu pondered carefully in that glance, and when he raised his head, he met Baige's probing eyes, and hurriedly looked around guiltily.

After eating, Xu Chengdu hurriedly grabbed Baige while he was going to the bathroom, "Do you know what's in that cane?"

That person was naturally Lu Wang. Baige wiped his hands with a wet tissue and turned around, "Unfortunately, this problem has also troubled me for ten years."

"Haven't you tried pulling it out to take a look?" Xu Chengdu asked naturally, in exchange for Baige's eyes looking like a monster.

He touched his nose resentfully, "Oh, it seems that there is not."

"He keeps that cane with him 24 hours a day, and puts it next to his pillow when he sleeps. How do you want to peek?" Baige tilted his head, looking at someone with sullen face and frowning with interest.

"That's easy, sneak into his bedroom while he's sleeping, you know? Get the security layout, avoid the bodyguards, enter through the window or pry the door directly, it's really impossible... …" Xu Chengdu talked eloquently, completely oblivious to the ever-changing expression on Baige's face, a series of shocks, reasoning and emotional ups and downs, like a soap opera with the fast play button pressed.

"I'm curious what you do now." After he finished speaking, Baige put one hand on the sink, rubbed the short hair on top of Xu Chengdu's head, thoughtfully, "Aside from being an underground boxer, you're also a habitual thief?"
