please don't believe me

Du Bai got off the car, went up several steps, and stepped into a double door.

A servant followed behind and closed the iron gate for the car, and then closed the gate of the villa. The maid came over and took away Du Bai's coat.On the steps of the main hall, a middle-aged woman who still has a charm is walking down her high-heeled shoes.

"Are you back?" The woman complained in her tone, but her face still looked happy, "Even if you come back from abroad, you don't stay at home every day. Can your father be busy?"

"Mom." Du Bai showed a polite smile, but revealed a kind of intimacy that made relatives feel comfortable, "I just got together with my former classmates."

"Okay, okay, in the world of young people, there are still good students who have returned from studying abroad." Mrs. Du walked up to the young man and straightened his collar, "Don't go out at night, your father comes home for dinner, he wants I want to talk to you—you two old men have a good talk."

Du Bai responded with a smile.The mother and son drank another cup of afternoon tea in the living room, talked about many trivial matters, and then broke up.Madam Du went to direct the cook and servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the family of three; Du Bai went upstairs and returned to his room.

This room is south facing, comfortable and spacious.In addition to the bed, cabinets, and lamps for various purposes, there are bookcases and desks, and there are good quality pens and inks on them.There are not many traces of private life in this room, at least not many recent ones, and occasionally traces of a few years ago or earlier can be seen in a few places.Although the luggage has been tidily packed, at least when I opened the closet, there were only a few old and new suits.

Du Bai opened the bookcase with the glass door, took out the D brand lighter in the inner pocket, and placed it side by side with other various lighters.He glanced left and right at this row of fashionable collections, and picked up a brand C lighter.This lighter has a silver engraved shell, which is very quiet to operate and has a stable flame.Du Bai tried to light the fire once, then closed it and stuffed it into the inner pocket.

The door of the bookcase is closed, and the exquisite and compact collection stands quietly behind the glass.

Du Bai quickly entered Shen Xiuyuan's field of vision.

This is not surprising.Shen Yuyao's original shooting performance was so poor, but in the end she overwhelmed Henry Zhang with a good performance—although it relied on the last three shots—Shen Xiuyuan would inevitably notice this change, and then observe the person who brought about this change.

"The only son of the Du family..." Shen Xiuyuan flipped through the information of the Du family quickly, and then slowed down in the part about Du Bai's personal life.There are several black and white photos in the file, all of which have Shen Yuyao and Du Bai in the same frame, but there are many other young people who appear on the scene at the same time, even Henry Zhang.

It is better to say that it is a gathering of overseas students from their hometown, rather than a social circle of rich children.Shen Yuyao studied language, Du Bai was a law student, and Henry Zhang should have entered the finance department.There are also other students majoring in automobiles and metallurgy, and the selected learning content is consistent with their own direction.The social interaction between them is laying the foundation for future relationships in the city.

Based on these reasons, Shen Xiuyuan couldn't say that he didn't let Shen Yuyao go out just because he was afraid that she would be instigated by others.

After thinking about it, Shen Xiuyuan asked, "Did Shen Yuyao go out today?"

According to Shen Xiuyuan's instructions, the adjutant buried his hands near Shen's house to prevent suspicious situations from happening without knowing it.Therefore, when Shen Xiuyuan asked about the movement of the family, the adjutant didn't need to ask the butler at all, and directly replied: "Miss is at home today."

Shen Xiuyuan nodded: "Let her get ready and go to the shooting range with me."

Shen Yuyao never expected that she would be taken to the shooting range when she didn't practice well with the gun, and she would still be taken to the shooting range after practice.

Although it was not in wartime, the atmosphere of the barracks still made Shen Yuyao, a little girl, nervous.Coupled with Shen Xiuyuan's solemn expression, Shen Yuyao was even more difficult to calm down when the other soldiers watched intentionally or unintentionally.

The army's shooting range is completely different from the indoor amusement and exercise. It is open-air, the target is fixed in the ground, and there is no shooting platform.The adjutant handed over the loaded gun to Shen Yuyao, and then stood back behind Shen Xiuyuan.The sergeants whose training was interrupted did not leave. They stood or sat not far away in groups of three or four. They did not speak loudly, but they were by no means quiet.

In such an environment, Shen Yuyao felt more nervous than when competing with Henry Zhang.The wind blew from behind her, and for a moment, Shen Yuyao felt that she would miss the target.

"What's the matter?" After all, it was the elder brother in identity, Shen Xiuyuan couldn't always use his aura to express her true state, and he had to show his relatives' concern to some extent.

Shen Yuyao didn't dare to look at him anymore, she lightly shook her head and replied, "It's nothing."

I can do it, Shen Yuyao thought.Her legs were tense, her waist was straight, and she breathed a long while pretending to be calm while looking at the target.

Like many people do when they want to force themselves to calm down, Shen Yuyao closed her eyes and counted silently for three seconds.

one two Three.

The noise was blocked, distracting thoughts receded like a flood, and the faint smell of gunpowder lingered on the tip of his nose.Shen Yuyao felt as if she had returned to the shooting range, a familiar and confident state was controlling her consciousness.

She released the safety catch and fired.

boom!boom!boom……

It wasn't until Shen Yuyao pulled the empty gun twice with her fingers that Shen Yuyao came back to put down the gun.In front of Colonel Shen, the girl didn't even dare to breathe, but quietly let the adjutant take the gun away.

The rules in the military camp are actually shams, but Shen Yuyao is a young lady who has not left the cabinet, so her achievements don't need to be publicized.Shen Ximing's eyesight was very good, but Shen Xiuyuan waited until the sergeant who went to see the target came back and reported in a low voice before nodding.

He didn't say anything, he just stepped forward to hug the girl's shoulders, and led her back: "Let's go."

Shen Yuyao glanced at the target before turning around, not quite understanding the meaning of her brother's behavior, but she still obediently left without saying a word.

Shen Xiuyuan just wanted to confirm Shen Yuyao's "progress".

Not only the speed of progress, but also the method.Although the adjutant and Shen Yuyao had described the shooting status more than once, Shen Xiuyuan decided to confirm it with his own eyes.

Now it seems that Shen Yuyao is indeed still subtle in marksmanship.

The outside of the barracks shooting range is greatly affected, especially the wind direction that most affects shooting.Of course, Shen Yuyao noticed it when she focused on aiming. She also tried to adjust the aiming base point according to the wind direction, but her shooting skills were not enough to support this adjustment.Under the changing wind speed, the scattered bullet holes showed that Shen Yuyao was still unfamiliar with guns.

Shen Xiuyuan realized that Shen Yuyao just mastered the method of concentrating.After she adjusted her breathing and forcibly calmed down, she showed a calmness that was obviously different from the previous few minutes.Even under Shen Xiuyuan's gaze, even if one of the bullets almost missed the target, he could continue to shoot at a steady speed.

Does this meet the conditions set by "Killer"?Shen Xiuyuan asked himself.

Needless to say, it must be.However, Shen Yuyao's concentration and stability are very limited. It makes sense to say that she has invested a lot of energy in shooting for a while to achieve such a level.It's just that once there are external disturbances, this kind of concentration seems to have little effect.

Shen Xiuyuan came to a conclusion for the time being: Shen Yuyao's core has not been replaced, her current level is not good enough to assassinate, and there is no huge psychological change for the time being - so that she wants to kill her relatives.

Although Shen Yuyao was included in the temporary safety list, the two young men who encouraged her to play with guns and helped her win did not leave Shen Xiuyuan's sight.Recently, the upper circles in the city are carrying out frequent social activities, which seems to herald the coming of an eventful autumn.Shen Ximing, as the eldest son of Shen, brought the Shen family back to the social stage, and now it's time to officially hold a banquet to announce his existence.

There are many people in this gathering, and it is easy to be negligent, and it is easy to get something.Shen Xiuyuan cleverly set up the guest list, including all the objects he suspected, and wanted to take this opportunity to see how these people interacted.

And Shen Yuyao, as the girl of the Shen family, her friends were also invited to the party.Among them are Henry Zhang who encouraged her to touch the gun, and Du Bai who taught her how to focus more.

Du Bai flipped the invitation card with his fingertips, looked at the neon streamer outside the car window, and showed a slightly interested smile.

He was invited to the Shen family's party, but his father was not.Obviously, some people think that the relationship between him and Shen Yuyao is closer than that between Father Du and the Shen family.

Of course, Father Du has no special relationship with the Shen family, but he was not included in the Shen family's dinner list, which means that the Shen family—at least the young colonel of the Shen family—doesn't plan to have anything to do with him for the time being.Although the Du family's literary and entertainment business is not small, and Mrs. Du comes from a well-known scholarly family, this is still not enough for the Du family to step into the social circle of the armed forces.

Du Bai got off the car outside the gate of Shen's house, followed various people through the courtyard.Most of the people came in groups, it was not common for a person like Du Bai.Youth is still a three-piece suit, but it uses a more solemn—but less rigid—brown than the lighter colors of the past.The soft and soft hair that usually hangs down naturally was brushed back with some pomade, completely revealing the appearance of the forehead and the tall and straight figure, the young man looks a little more mature than usual.

Just approaching the door, people's enthusiastic exchanges are mixed with the sound of music.If a young man who has just entered the society and has little experience comes here alone, how will he behave?Du Bai thought while climbing the steps, nodded slightly to the waiter who accepted the invitation, and stepped into the noise without hesitation.

There are people coming and going at the door, and the guests don't pay special attention to who is coming.A few glances passed over Du Bai, and then left without any meaning.Although the young man was new, came alone, and behaved decently, most of the people in this hall had experienced and seen all kinds of objects, and it was really difficult to get their attention.

Du Bai was not in a hurry to find his former companion, he just walked in slowly, and casually took a glass of champagne from the tray of the passing waiter.He walked through the foyer, stood calmly by the entrance door of the hall, and quickly scanned the layout of the house by raising his head and drinking champagne.

The layout design of Shen's house is transparent, and the decoration is mainly simple.Leaving aside the special decorations for the banquet, it can be seen that there are very few daily decorations; if it is not for the uniforms mixed in the crowd, there is really no characteristic that represents the host's family.

Du Bai knew it was inevitable, because the head of the Shen family had only recently returned here.But even so, Du Bai can still easily see the clues.To put it simply, this minimalist image is far from Shen Yuyao, and the image of her elder brother can be glimpsed in it.

The music stopped, and people who knew the meaning stopped talking and looked up to the corridor on the second floor.

The protagonists of the banquet were Shen Ximing and Shen Yuyao.
