The female boss behind the bar turned a deaf ear to everything that happened in the store, and concentrated on cleaning the crystal glass. The passengers at the other tables did not respond, and continued to drink and chat. An old record player played a blues music with a soothing rhythm. The fiery Xiao Yu and a young-looking blond boy.

It seems that this motel itself is a den of thieves, and the owner is probably the one beside him?Luo Yifan quickly integrated all the known information in his mind, and after reaching a conclusion, he sat back on the high stool again.

As early as the blond boy made moves, he had been paying attention. Judging from his skill alone, he was not very threatening. It was more than enough for Xiao Yu to win him, but this man mentioned that the two were acquaintances. From Xiao Yu's The reaction doesn't look like a discussion between acquaintances, so what's going on?

Luo Yifan took a sip of beer expressionlessly, put down the bottle, and looked behind him with the help of the image reflected in the glass.

The whiskey-drinking man was obviously very satisfied with the result, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at the guy who had attracted his attention from the moment he entered the door with interest, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Going together?"

The beer provided in the store tasted very bad, Luo Yifan didn't plan to touch the beer again, so the female boss ordered a glass of vodka again, and then hummed lightly.

Hearing this, the man looked up and down without hesitation, the smile on his lips deepened, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like that, why do I think you are a bit like our natural enemy?"

Luo Yifan swung the wine glass unhurriedly, swirling the clear brown liquid in the glass around the ice cubes, raised his eyelashes, and squinted at him with a predatory gaze, "So, you admit that you are the prey! ?”

In an instant, the man's eyes became dangerous.

"Interesting," he said, "what's the name?"

"ivan." Luo Yifan said.

"Hi, Ivan, but what I want to know isn't the code name—"

The man put down his wine glass, turned the high stool, faced Luo Yifan, and introduced, "Tang Shaoxin, a professional thief in the Atlanta area. Last March, I went to the Brussels Diamond Exchange and brought back a 53.9-carat rough black diamond. , and then traded it to a girl in Dubai who likes gems at a price of 1.2 million U.S. dollars, so I received the invitation."

"Over there is my junior brother Rhodes." He pointedly raised his chin towards the blond boy. After saying this, Tang Shaoxin extended his hand politely, "How about you?"

They are real, dark professions that make a living by stealing, and they are not exactly the same organization as Yi Fan and Xiao Yu belong to.Luo Yifan didn't know whether his real name should be reported in this kind of exchanges between colleagues, and he couldn't judge whether the words of this guy who called himself Tang Shaoxin were credible.

Out of an abundance of caution, he shook that hand and simply said, "We're invited because of the Mona Lisa."

Tang Shaoxin showed a suddenly realized expression, "You are shaw?!"

"no--"

Luo Yifan took a sip of vodka with ice, the spicy liquor stimulated his taste buds, and he felt that the taste was quite satisfactory. He raised his head and drank the remaining half of the glass, then leaned back against the edge of the bar, his eyes passed through the restaurant, and finally firmly Focusing on Xiao Yu, "He is Shaw."

Tang Shaoxin's expression changed immediately, he stood up abruptly, and looked back.

"Don't be nervous, Shaw won't be cruel to acquaintances," Luo Yifan said, "Unless they are not as familiar as you said, Mr. Tang, are you sure your junior really knows Shaw?"

Tang Shaoxin: "..."

At the same time, the round wooden table was kicked out, Xiao Yu dodged short, rolled from the surface of the table, and threw back the two chairs after landing.

The red-eyed young man behind him clenched the dagger with his backhand, chopped the flying chair into pieces, stepped on the table with the soles of his shoes, jumped up, twisted his body while flying in the air, the dagger cut through the air, and wiped it straight at Xiao Yu. .

The chandelier on the roof was shaking, and sawdust flew flying under the pale light. Xiao Yu originally intended to try his skills, but he didn't expect that little ghost seemed to have a deep hatred with him.

When did Nima get into such a pestering thing? !

Xiao Yu had been hungry for a whole day, and now he was being chased and beaten for no reason. Naturally, he felt more and more unhappy, and it was impossible to solve the problem by hiding like this. At least he had to give him a reason to do it!

Thinking of this, he stopped abruptly and turned around, reached out and grabbed the tablecloth next to him and pulled it vigorously, the plates, knives, forks and condiment jars that hadn't been cleared away on the table were thrown back together.

The blond boy who was following him was taken aback and had no time to avoid it. He could only cover his face with his arms crossed to avoid being stabbed by the tableware.

The fight between the two was too noisy, and the other tables of 'passengers' had already quieted down, assuming a posture of gloating and watching the show.

With a bang, the pepper pot fell to pieces on the ground, and the powder rose up. The boy didn't expect that there would be a follow-up, so he choked violently, and was so fascinated that tears streamed down his face, and Ha Qiu Ha Qiu sneezed wildly.

In the blink of an eye, the tablecloth fell from the sky. He was so choked that he couldn't open his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to stab him. Before he could complete the movement, his wrist was caught by someone. Spreading across the arm, the fingers let go, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Xiao Yu didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe at all. After removing the dagger, he grabbed his hands, folded them upside down and tied them with a tablecloth, then lifted the boy and threw it on the table next to him. The rambunctious brat stretched out his hand to pat his butt, "Have you played enough?"

The young man's cheeks turned red immediately, he twisted his body vigorously, and said angrily, "Fucking gay! You stinky bastard! Get the fuck out of me quickly! If you don't care, I'll do you next time!"

"Tsk, still dare to speak hard?" Xiao Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled shamelessly. He directly opened the opponent's thigh, and punched someone's ass with his crotch. "If you dare to speak hard again, I will fuck you directly!"

Onlookers: "..."

Luo Yifan: "..."

The boy's hair was blown all over, his cheeks were as red as overripe tomatoes, he was gnashing his teeth in anger, but he was helplessly crushed and couldn't move. Nima was molested by bastards in front of so many people, and he really had no face in Atlanta in the future!

Tang Shaoxin put down his wine glass, held his forehead speechlessly, and finally patted Yifan's shoulder familiarly, and said with a smile: "As expected of the thief who can take down the "Mona Lisa", it really has a lot of characteristics."

Luo Yifan grunted blankly, his cold eyes fell on Xiao Yu, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that someone's actions were an eyesore.

"Let's go over together, let's get to know each other." After speaking, Tang Shaoxin signaled the female boss to fetch an unopened bottle of whiskey, took three clean crystal glasses, and walked towards Xiao Yu and the boy.

Xiao Yu had noticed the situation at the bar a long time ago, and when he saw the other party coming, he let go of the kid on the dining table, turned around, and the two directly met each other.

"Tang Shaoxin."

"Xiao Yu."

After reporting their names to each other, the two held hands and separated.

Xiao Yu consciously stood next to Luo Yifan, glanced at the boy who was tied to the table, and said playfully, "Next time, you have to be careful. It's not in the rules to do things casually among colleagues, don't you think so?"

Tang Shaoxin didn't say a word, but gestured for his subordinates to untie the boy with a wink, and then made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them sat down at the next table. He poured the wine, pushed the cups to Xiao Yu and Luo Yifan in turn, and then smiled apologetically, " Rhodes said that you have met before, so I allowed him to say hello alone, it seems offensive now, and I hope you don't care about a child."

"The child in your mouth seems to want to kill me?" Xiao Yu swung his wine glass and looked at Tang Shaoxin with deep meaning.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the fight just now. Xiao Yu naturally gave enough face in other people's territory, mainly hiding, and almost never fought head-on. Even if he finally knocked down the other party, it was a symbolic lesson. From the very beginning, the dagger was aimed at the artery on the side of Xiao Yu's neck.

Luo Yifan looked at Xiao Yu, "Do you know him?"

"I can't remember." Xiao Yu said.

The smile on Tang Shaoxin's face froze for a moment, coughed, and said, "Rod, come here."

The boy who was untied did not expect to be called by his senior brother. This situation must have been nothing good in the past. He gave Xiao Yu a hard look, then walked to Tang Shaoxin's side slowly, bowed his head and called out, "Senior brother..."

"What's going on?" Tang Shaoxin asked.

Rhodes looked up at Xiao Yu and said, "More than a month ago, I touched a few wallets on the train from Miami to Philadelphia, and I don't know why they were intercepted by him."

Xiao Yu: "..."

Xiao Yu was surprised immediately, "That thief is you?!"

It's been a long time, and at the beginning, Xiao Yu thought he was just a low-level thief, so Xiao Yu didn't deliberately remember the other party's appearance. Now I just recalled it when I talked about it. I didn't expect to meet him casually on the train. One of the little guys can have a little background.

He smiled in his heart, the world's nosy affairs are really not that easy to manage, fortunately Tang Shaoxin is not someone you dare to touch me, I will kill your whole family character.

Seeing that the two really knew each other, Tang Shaoxin didn't have to be so embarrassed, and pulled out the chair for Rhodes to sit down together.

Xiao Yu briefly talked about what happened that day. Under Rhode's murderous eyes, he had no choice but to skip the part about threatening to call the bed, and only thought it was because of the hundreds of dollars in the wallet that they got married.

It was getting late, Xiao Yu and Luo Yifan were disturbed by their own people as soon as they entered the door, and before they had time to eat, Tang Shaoxin called the waiter to order, and asked their luggage to be sent to the room in advance.

"The two of you only have one big bed room..." Tang Shaoxin kindly suggested: "There are no passengers here tonight, all of them are our own people, absolutely safe, no need to pretend to be related, I let them open another room?"

Xiao Yu said in his heart, you don't want to ruin my good deeds. Before he could refuse, he heard Rhodes who was sitting beside him sucking juice and said sharply: "Senior brother, didn't you see that the two of them are not pretending to have a relationship? I have already said that this guy You're fucking gay, or you wouldn't be on the train—"

Rhodes was busy mocking Xiao Yu, and realized that he had slipped his tongue as soon as the words came out, so he quickly silenced.

Luo Yifan heard the clue, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "What happened on the train?"

Xiao Yu gloated and said, "Actually, when the wallet was cut, Rhodes and I—"

Rhodes blushed and said angrily, "Shut up!"

Xiao Yu held her chin, her eyes curled up in a smile, "Then... what did you say about me just now?"

How could there be such a shameless person? !Rhodes was almost made to cry by this bastard, if it wasn't for the presence of his senior brother, he would have rushed to fight again, "It's nothing!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu said, "That day we were in the toilet of the carriage—"

"Don't say it!" Rhodes said angrily, "I'm wrong, can't I!"

Xiao Yu patted his head and said with a smile: "Be obedient, understand?"

Rhode gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth, drank the juice through the straw, and fell silent.

"Do you have other companions?" Tang Shaoxin asked.

Luo Yifan said: "Two more partners have arrived in Washington."

Tang Shaoxin couldn't believe his ears, "There are only four people! I heard that people from the FBI and the French Seventh Bureau were there that day, and you took the "Mona Lisa" from the Louvre with only four people?"

Xiao Yu and Luo Yifan looked at each other, Xiao Yu said: "Well, there is a companion who is the captain of the guard in the museum, which saves us a lot of trouble."

"Don't be too modest, everyone knows that there are people inside who can't reduce the difficulty much." Tang Shaoxin poured wine and looked at the two meaningfully, "So your goal is also to be the next God of Thieves?"

Xiao Yu smiled, "Not interested."

"It's not up to you whether you are interested or not. If the committee finds you qualified, you must participate in the selection. Shaw, "Mona Lisa" is probably the most important bargaining chip in this exchange meeting. I can compete with you It should be only the third young master, right?"

Xiao Yu's fingers holding the wine glass tightened slightly inconspicuously, "The third student of Thief Schumann?"

"Well, in the accident three years ago, Mr. Schumann and the other six students were killed. The seat of God has been vacant until now. Everyone is very optimistic about his last student, thinking that he will become the successor of the God of Thieves," Tang Shaoxin's lips curled up. The smile turned cold, "Even if everyone is suspecting that he killed his teacher and fellow students with his own hands."

"Shaw, you have to be careful, your achievements through the "Mona Lisa" will attract the attention of all those who covet the position of God of Thieves. Compared with San Shao, you may be an easier target to get rid of."

Slowly rubbing the outer wall of the glass with her fingertips, raising her eyelashes, Xiao Yu looked lightly at Tang Shaoxin on the other side of the table, smiled slightly, and said, "Shaoxin, don't you also be among those who covet the god's throne? "

As soon as the words came out, the 'passengers' at the other tables in the restaurant stood up at the same time, but Tang Shaoxin raised his hand with a smile and pressed down, "It does include me, but I don't want to confirm the next one before I arrive in Washington. Enemy, not ally."

Luo Yifan said: "We are not interested in the so-called 'divine position'. We went to Washington just to participate in the three-day exchange meeting. We will neither become enemies nor allies with you."

"I've heard that your organization belongs to such an organization. There is really no need to participate in the scramble among the thieves in the eastern region, so why not treat it as a private entrustment?" Tang Shaoxin said: "Don't rush to refuse, I will give it to you." Consider it in a few days, and if you agree, I will ask someone to prepare a more detailed power of attorney and contract, and the price guarantee will satisfy you."

"Yes." Xiao Yu answered very simply.

Tang Shaoxin said again: "Tomorrow you go directly on the road? Do you mind coming with us?"

Luo Yifan said: "We are not in a hurry, and we expect to arrive in Washington within a week."

"That's great. Before I leave tomorrow, I will ask Rhodes to notify you," Tang Shaoxin said, "Please rest assured, the time will not be very early, and it will definitely not affect the two of you resting."

After a while, the waiter brought the steak and salad to the table. Several people stopped talking, and lowered their heads to eat with their own thoughts.
