Byron's Blade

"Say it or not!" Seeing that Lan Ni didn't respond at all, the assassin asked again. The blade was pressed against Lan Ni's neck, and the tender skin was about to be cut.

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited! Lanny, tell her what she asked." Mo Ke said impatiently.

Pierre remained silent.

Lan Ni swallowed her saliva in the dark, and suddenly said: "General Pierre, you are not interested in this, it is a bit despicable to send someone to do this!"

Pierre said, "Little Lanny, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Really? But isn't it you who most want to know where Bailey is?"

General Pierre took a deep breath in the darkness and said:

"Lanny, this matter really has nothing to do with me. How could I do such a thing? What do I want to do with Bailey? I watched you grow up. No matter what, I will never treat you like this. You and I have no grievances." No hatred, why did I harm you?"

"Hmm... is that so?" Lanny asked skeptically.

"Y'all shut up! You're all like dogs, what are you doing? I know you're the one trying to kill Bailey, and you, Lanny Friesman, are you trying to hide Bailey for something? The purpose? I’m asking you where Bailey is now, stop rambling on, I’ll give you ten seconds, or I’ll break your neck!” The assassin led Lanny to stand between two windows , so that his body is in a safe blind spot and will not be threatened by the window.

"Don't get excited, I'll tell you, can't I tell you?" Lan Ni raised her hand in surrender, "But before that, I need General Pierre to give me an accurate word. Ares, what are you going to do?" Solve? All I want is an explanation."

"Say it quickly!!!" the assassin pressed again, the blade had already cut Lan Ni's neck, and the blood flowed out, which was shocking under the moonlight.

"General! Please, please give me an accurate sentence, or Lanni will..." Mo Kexin urged anxiously.

"General, you know me, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, what should I do, you are a smart person, you should understand what I mean. Cousin, please make a recording, so that the general can give you a correct sentence." Lan Ni Added another sentence, the light of Mo Kexin's bracelet ID flashed in the dark, Mo Kexin zoomed in on the recording interface for the assassin to see, emphasizing:

"I didn't call for rescue, it was just recording, don't do it."

"Oh, it's useless for you to call for rescue. I have a signal jammer on me, and you are all within range, so I can't call for rescue." The assassin said coldly.

General Pierre, who had been silent for a long time, spoke:

"Okay, Lanny, I understand what you mean. I mean what I say, and I should give you a lot of compensation."

"General, I remember what I said just now. My cousin has already recorded it." Lan Ni said.

"Have you said enough! Tell me where Bailey is!" the assassin couldn't bear it anymore.

"I was admitted to Ward 201, Building [-] of the First Hospital of Chang'an District!" Lan Ni replied immediately.

"Don't lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, I will come back and take your life. If you don't do it twice, you won't live in peace until you die!"

After the assassin finished speaking, he kicked Lan Ni far away, and then jumped out of the window immediately, and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Hiss... Whoops, it hurts me to death." Lan Ni was lifted up from the ground by Mo Kexin, and she limped to Pierre's side, her voice was as thin as a mosquito:

"Bailey is in ward 15 on the 1512th floor of the third building of the Affiliated Hospital of the Rudolph Military Academy. General, I can tell you that you'd better act quickly and resolve the matter as soon as possible."

"Little Lanni, you...hehehehe..." Pierre smiled, and there was a little self-mockery in his laughter, "You really are better than blue than blue. But, you are not afraid of that assassin Come back to take revenge on you?"

"Him? A stunned young man also wants to fight with me. I carry a tracking device with me all year round. This time it's in the heel of my shoe. I just quietly removed the tracking device from the heel and put it on the assassin. My The tracker is the latest technology, he can't block it, look, he is still running on my map now. He can't run very far, and he will be dealt with by my people. Of course, there may be accidents with the tracker, so the general You have to hurry up, before Bailey is rescued, it will be hard to find in the vast crowd."

At this time, the lights suddenly came back on, and the three people who had already adapted to the darkness were blinded by the sudden light.Pierre squinted at Lani next to him, and saw that she was smiling enchantingly with one eye closed, a trace of bright red slipped from her neck and melted into the fiery red dress, and she was holding a heel-opening hand in her hand. high heels.Pierre snorted softly and said:

"Young people are awesome. Tell me after you make the conditions, don't open your mouth like a lion." While talking, he walked out the door.

"Lanny knows it well, don't worry, the terms can be negotiated again."

General Pierre didn't speak any more, he opened the door and went out. It happened that the housekeeper came back and saw the general coming out, so he quickly shouted:

"master."

Pierre looked at the butler and said, "You can get out after you go back."

Immediately, the crutch in his hand poked the ground heavily, making a clicking sound.He then disappeared through the door on crutches.

***

Mu Li jumped out of the window, quickly turned over and ran a few steps outside, then climbed up the wall again, and walked back to the previous window of the study like a gecko swimming around the wall, jumped in, and locked the window.Then she wiped off the traces, took off her shoes and held them in her hands, quickly dodged out of the study room, followed the route in her memory back to the storage room in the dark, and began to change clothes in the dark.She has excellent night vision, and this darkness is like day to her.

She took off her black sweater and sports trousers, wiped the dagger on the clothes, and put it back into the sheath.Put on the army trousers again and put on the long army boots.Then he straightened his shirt, tied his tie, put on his uniform coat, tied his belt, and rehung his saber.He wrapped his clothes and shoes into balls and stuffed them into the package, and then threw the package out of the window of the storage room.She didn't care what would happen if the package was thrown out, and went straight out of the storage room. When the door was opened, the corridor was already lit up. She closed her eyes to adjust to the light, and then went downstairs to the venue with steady steps.When passing by a full-length mirror, I did not forget to tidy up my clothes and hair, and put on my military cap again.

After she threw out the package, Lan Ni's eldest brother Sona, who had just come here from the power distribution room downstairs, caught the package. He carried the package to a corner of the courtyard and threw the package directly into the box used to burn dead branches. In the incinerator of fallen leaves, the courtyard has just been cleaned before the afternoon banquet, and the incinerator has been burning fallen leaves, and the flame has not been extinguished yet.Then he also turned back into the main building through the window, cleaned up the marks on his shoes, and then swaggered back to the venue.

Mu Li arrived at the venue first, and Sona arrived last. When they arrived, Lan Ni and Mo Kexin were already waiting for them in the venue.The venue was still in chaos, Robert and the Sistine brothers were still struggling to deal with the so-called explosion, and even Lieutenant General Smith personally went out to appease all the guests.Lieutenant General Smith with a big beard was wearing a messy expensive suit. Surrounded by the crowd, he dealt with the questions of the guests one by one, and looked calm.Colonel Ellis was grabbed by Robert and Sistine, and kept asking about the so-called explosion.Ellis looked like a bachelor, and insisted that she just heard a voice telling her that there was a bomb, and she yelled that sentence just in case.No matter how Robert and Sistine asked, she just answered this way.In the end, Robert and Sistine were helpless.

A waiter came over and whispered to Lieutenant General Smith:

"My lord, the distinguished guest has already left through the back door."

Lieutenant General Smith's face finally completely darkened.

At the same time, when Mu Li returned to Lan Ni, the first thing he said was:

"Major, I'm sorry, I have heavy hands. Is your neck okay?" When she said this, she was still staring at Lanny's neck. Lanny was covering her wound with Mo Kexin's white handkerchief. Already flushed.Mu Li couldn't help raising his hand to touch it, but stopped again, fearing that he would offend him.

Lan Ni smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I told you to act more realistically, otherwise the other party wouldn't be hooked, you did a good job."

Mu Li feels a little uncomfortable, Lan Ni is like this every time, why is it always in her plan to hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred?Is she so disregarding her own family and life?

"Major, look away from me." Mu Li said.

"No, it's not serious." Lanny refused.

"Show me." Mu Li insisted.

Seeing her serious face, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, and she removed the handkerchief. When Mu Li saw a bloody gash on her white and tender neck, she felt a ruthless pull in her heart, and bit her lower lip.

"It's really fine. For such a small hole, just spray some medicine and it will be all right in three or two days." Seeing the expression on her face, Lan Ni hurriedly said.

"Don't do this kind of thing again..." Mu Li said in a deep voice.

Lan Ni looked at her black eyes like spots of paint, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Mo Kexin stood aside silently, watching this scene, slowly clenched the hand holding the handbag.

"Ahem..." Sona Friesman cleared his throat and interjected:

"Can we leave now?"

Lanny rolled his eyes at him, and replied: "Tonight, the Smith family's canvassing has completely failed, and General Pierre has also taken the bait. Our mission has been perfectly completed, and of course we can go back. When the time comes, Smith and the others say they can release us." , let's go."

"How can you be sure that the general is hooked? What if he suspects that all of this is just acting?" Mu Li asked softly.

"You have to pay attention to the three key points of my plan. First, the sudden appearance of a third party who wanted to rescue Bailey reminded him of the killing of the traitor Elisa and the fifth praying mantis outside the walls of Ares. The third party of the predator. Second, I finally told him that the tracker may fail, in fact, I was warning him that I might keep you in my hands and not touch you, and even told you the real location of Bailey , Threatening him to act as soon as possible. Third, I have forced him to compromise, say what he is willing to trade with me, and record it, which has become his biggest weakness."

Mu Li really wanted to interject and ask what happened to the third party who killed the traitor Elisa and the fifth mantis-shaped predator, but Lan Ni's words continued, and she couldn't speak.In fact, the traitor Elisa died strangely. Although Lanny didn't tell her anything, she also had some guesses.

"Actually, this matter is not that complicated. Whether he believes it or not, in his opinion, as long as I agree to trade Bailey's life with him, it doesn't matter much whether it is true or not. But in fact, I not only want to cheat him A sum of money, and I want to pull him into the water completely, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart, and it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of Bailey's sister in the future. He will not think that I will do that step. In his view, I hold Bailey just to get compensate.

Take a step back, even if he suspects that I want to bring him down completely.To deal with an extremely cunning and suspicious person like him, it is necessary to give him room for doubt, so that he will be fooled.I left him with a fair amount of room for doubt, true and false, and it's hard to tell right from wrong. Just in case, he will definitely choose the safest path.In any case, he must let Bailey die.It is the wisest choice to agree to trade with me.

However, our work has only just begun. Because of his cunning and suspicion, the killer he sends will definitely not have any intersection with him. We cannot obtain evidence from the killer that he framed Bailey. There is no need to think about it at all. . "

"Then what should we do?" Mu Li asked.

"You're stupid. Why on earth did he kill Bailey? Don't you know the root cause? That's where his biggest weakness lies. If you find out the reason, you're afraid you won't find evidence to bring him down?" Lanny He lowered his voice and complained about Mu Li.

Mu Li pouted, and asked:

"What about Bailey? Just let him kill him like this?"

"Pelé has to die once, and we can bring him back to life after we take him down."

"You mean suspended animation?" Mo Kexin asked.

Lanny glanced at her, and said: "Yes, I want the other party to think that Bailey is really dead, and they will definitely relax at that time. Let's keep an eye on it, and we should be able to find the loophole. At that time, I may have to trouble everyone Helped."

The crowd nodded.

Half an hour later, the danger was ruled out, and the banquet ended early. The dinner held by the Smith family with great fanfare ended in a "farce".
