Cat and mouse game

The birthday party for the little princess of the Shang family was on the second night.

After finishing her work today, Fei Jiao picked out a long skirt and high heels and went there with Qiao Nan.

Sitting in the car, Qiao Nan was still swiping his phone, probably chatting with Bian Xia or Shi Niang.

Master Bian Xia came back these few days, but Bian Xia didn't stay for long.

She wanted to find out what the relationship between Zhou Zhaoyuan and her was, so she carried her bag and Xiaoqiu's ID card on her back and set out on the road alone.

Qiao Nan doesn't have any complaints about this, but wants Bian Xia to be careful and call her from time to time to report her safety.

This is Bian Xia's own life, she should interfere as little as possible, but she also clearly told Bian Xia that she will always be her backing.

The scenery along the way keeps receding, gradually changing from a cold city lined with steel and concrete to a spacious suburb with fresh air.

The little girl from the Shang family is a maverick girl, she doesn't like the dull atmosphere in the villa, even if she holds a birthday party, she also likes the open wilderness, so she asked her parents to hold the birthday party in the outskirts of the Shang family. Blocks to golf course.

When Fei Jiao took Qiao Nan into the golf course, many luxury cars had already parked outside. A business partner came to greet Fei Jiao. During the conversation, they were all inquiring about the extent of the rivalry between her and Fei Wenying. He drank a glass of champagne, and quietly played games with them.

In fact, most people feel disdain for the arrogance that Fei Jiao still possesses. People with discerning eyes outside can see Fei Jiao's weakness in the group. Just kick it out.

As soon as Qiao Nan came in, he found a corner and stood there.

Like her, most of the bodyguards of the distinguished guests stood quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the banquet to start and end.

Qiao Nan glanced at the venue, and finally met Cheng Wei who had been there earlier. She turned her head to signal the woods on the right, and walked over there.

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, apologized to the famous ladies and daughters who were joking beside her, and followed her with a random reason.

Qiao Nan lit a cigarette, leaned against the tree, and looked at her faintly with amber pupils.

Perhaps this is Qiao Nan's talent. Her pupils are very transparent, and when she looks at people, she subconsciously feels cool and distanced, just like standing at the foot of a lush snow-capped mountain and looking up at the tip of a snow-covered mountain.

"What do you want from me?" Cheng Wei smiled, wanting to look as charming as when she first saw her, but these days her haggardness has already appeared on her face, and her thick makeup can't cover up all of this.

Qiao Nan stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, "Fei Wenying."

Cheng Wei subconsciously looked back at the banquet venue, but there was no sign of Fei Wenying coming over. Looking back again, Qiao Nan was already standing behind her, expressionless, pinching her chin with her fingertips, approaching her, and slowly said: "The person behind the scenes is Fei Wenying."

Qiao Nan spoke very slowly, and every time she said a word, her eyes fell on Cheng Wei's face who was close at hand, and she didn't miss any subtle expressions, including Cheng Wei's pupils that suddenly dilated when she heard this sentence.

"what are you saying?"

Breaking free from Qiao Nan's hand, Cheng Wei blushed because of the close distance between the two just now, but she didn't forget what Qiao Nan said just now, and quickly retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Qiao Nan had already leaned back to the tree, looking lazily, with her head slightly raised and her eyes closed, taking another puff of cigarette.

"Your reaction says it all, doesn't it?"

She flicked the cigarette ash, her face hidden in the night was full of indifference: "Thank you for coming, I already know."

She doesn't need any answer from Cheng Wei, the look on Cheng Wei's face is the best answer, just like the hippocampus that tests memory, once it flickers, it cannot be denied.

Cheng Wei was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed, as if she was helpless or harboring other thoughts, she also took out a cigarette herself, and borrowed a fire from Qiao Nan by the way: "Where did you know that? "

What responded to her was Qiao Nan's silence.

"Yes, why would you tell me such a thing?"

As if laughing at herself, Cheng Wei stayed in this grove, slowly finished smoking the cigarette in her hand, then turned around and walked out, turned around halfway, and laughed: "Qiao Nan, you are so smart , you should have already guessed why Fei Wenying hunted you down in the first place. He coveted that canyon as a place for money laundering. Shengsaka developed well that year, and Fei Jiao was still a baby without showing his fangs. Why do you think he wanted to So what about doing that kind of thing in a hurry? Is he really doing it for himself?"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Wei shook the big waves, and with the pleasure of finally winning the round in his eyes, he nodded at her, lifted his skirt, and walked forward swayingly.

Qiao Nan stood where he was, with a rare frown.

She thought that the end of this matter was within reach, but it was not the case. Cheng Wei's words made this matter more and more complicated.

Now it seems that the most dangerous person is not Qiao Nan who is still hiding behind her back, but Fei Jiao who confronts Fei Wenying and openly puts Qiao Nan under her wing.

Perhaps the people behind will want to kill Qiao Nan to bury the evidence, but everyone knows that Fei Jiao is standing in front of Qiao Nan, and if you want to move Qiao Nan, you must first defeat Fei Jiao.

If there is really someone else involved in this matter besides Fei Wenying, once Fei Wenying's downfall does not even need Fei Wenying's downfall, as long as Fei Jiao is found while searching for evidence that can bring down Fei Wenying's downfall, then Fei Jiao will have to face The enemy is no longer Fei Wenying, but the unknown.

The unknown, in the dark, is bound to save its enemies.

Qiao Nan pursed her lips, snuffed out the cigarette in her hand and threw it into the trash can, found a place where the wind was blowing and stood up, cleaned herself of the smell of cigarettes, and planned to go back to the banquet venue to find Fei Jiao.

When she turned her head, she found that at some point, Fei Jiao was already standing behind her.

Today's Fei Jiao is wearing a pure black off-the-shoulder long dress, with thick long hair hanging loose, and snow-skinned red lips. Just standing there is like a ghost in the mountains falling into the world, even the moonlight is her company.

Fei Jiao's face was stained a little red, probably because of the alcohol, her eyes, which had always been impervious to emotion, had a moist luster, and when she stared at people, she gave the illusion that she was cherishing them.

"Drunk?" Qiao Nan asked her.

"Where is this?" Fei Jiao also leaned against the tree behind, tilting her head and smiling at her.

"How long have you been here?"

"Let's start with Cheng Wei."

Qiao Nan became silent, and it took a long time before he said: "You already knew that there was someone else behind Fei Wenying."

Affirmative……

Fei Jiao sighed lowly.

"I'm not a god, I know everything there," she said softly, "It's just that when you and I speculated out of instinct what the real murderer behind the scenes was going to use that cave for, I thought a little more."

"When you watch anti-corruption movies on TV, you should have seen many ways to hide money. Some people hide money in the cellar and inlay it into the floor and walls. That kind of individual hiding money even if it is hundreds of millions or billions does not need such a large area. canyon."

"So that's when I figured it might be more than just a place for someone to hide money."

"Yesterday you told me that the real culprit behind the scenes was Fei Wenying. I pushed back the time when the incident happened. At that time, he held the power and the whole Shengsaka listened to him. A lot of money?

In order to get that place, you are so anxious to buy a kidnapper?So I guessed that there might be other people behind him, and more than one. "

"He wants such a money hiding place, probably not just to hide money. There are always things that money can't buy in this world."

Fei Jiao stopped talking and didn't continue.

Qiao Nan looked at her complicatedly. Facing the unfamiliar field, it was clear that the news Qiao Nan knew and analyzed was not as accurate and fast as Fei Jiao.

Or it should be said that Fei Jiao's clever mind surpassed most people's, and she really took one step and looked at several steps.

"Then do you know that you may be in danger at any time now?"

Qiao Nan asked in a deep voice, still a little angry in her heart, feeling that Fei Jiao had figured it out a long time ago and didn't take her own safety seriously.

Fei Jiao smiled softly, her eyes sparkling, "Are you worried about me?"

Qiao Nan turned his head and did not admit it.

She is good at acting, no matter what thoughts are in her heart, others can't see them, but Fei Jiao can feel that Qiao Nan is genuinely worried about her.

"Isn't there still you here?" Fei Jiao approached, her face full of trust, "You will always protect me."

Qiao Nan was silent, his face was hidden in the light and shadow, and after a long time he said, "I can't protect you?"

There is no room for her to intervene in the struggle of a class like Fei Jiao.

"Such a situation will not happen," Fei Jiao said with a smile, her face was full of confidence, making Qiao Nan wonder if she was really drunk, so she said such affirmative but not completely guaranteed words.

But Fei Jiao didn't want to continue this topic now, soft music sounded in the banquet venue, Fei Jiao stretched out her hand to Qiao Nan, and asked with a smile, "Can I invite you to dance?"

Qiao Nan hesitated for a while, then put his hand into hers.

Qiao Nan doesn't know how to dance, she can only follow Fei Jiao's movements.

Fei Jiao smiled slightly, tilting her head slightly to see Qiao Nan's rare and clumsy appearance.

She was wearing exquisite high heels, much taller than Qiao Nan who was wearing boots. Qiao Nan put his hands on her bare shoulders, wet with sweat, and a little nervous, afraid that he would step on her if he made a wrong dance step.

There is a green lawn under their feet, and the hazy music from far away brings a different kind of remoteness. The moonlight above their heads emits a faint halo, penetrating the broken leaves and falling on them.

"Qiao Nan, have you thought about the future?"

This is the second time Fei Jiao asked this question, the last time was in the northwest, on the vast land, facing the rising sun.

At that time, Qiao Nan said that traffickers and pawns, 360 lines, she wanted to experience everything.

This time Qiao Nan answered her——

"Maybe to raise a dog, find a place with snow-capped mountains and grasslands to live in, and help herdsmen herd sheep."

"It is also possible to find a piece of yellow land, plant a tree, and settle down by the Yellow River."

"Or lying on the kang in the northeast, eating sweet potatoes and watching the snow."

This time the answer was more specific and less settled.

Most importantly, no matter where the future is or in which direction, there is still no Fei Jiao in that future.

Fei Jiao couldn't see the expression clearly in her eyes, she couldn't be considered happy or unhappy, just as the music on the golf course in the park changed, she led Qiao Nan and turned around in front of her.

The rough and accustomed woman turned around as if she was turning backwards, she had no sense of beauty and did not catch up with the rhythm, but Fei Jiao felt that she was heroic, and she continued to smile, put her arms around Qiao Nan's waist, leaned close to herself, and lowered her head slightly , kissed the corner of her lips, deeply, entangled.

Qiao Nan put his arms around her neck, half-closed his eyes, and let her go.

Fei Jiao always understood that Qiao Nan was a kite that she couldn't hold on to the rope. It flew head-on on the reinforced iron mud, headed towards the most vast and boundless land, and would only land in the most free place.

This kite may have her in its heart, but it won't stay for her.

But so what?

They are all exquisite egoism, they don't need to be romantic until death, they only care about the day and night.

This is why Fei Jiao loves Qiao Nan.

She loves Qiao Nan's freedom, also loves Qiao Nan's calmness, and even more loves the romance contained in Qiao Nan's every thought.

Qiao Nan asked her just now, what if she can't protect her?

What Fei Jiao actually wanted to answer was, let her protect her instead.

Fei Jiao is like an eagle locked in a money cage, full of pressure, and has to cheer up and fight with Fei Wenying and submissive snakes every day. Jiao has never had the freedom.

The eagle took her to see the vast expanse, and made her discover another way of living.

She lacks love since she was a child, and people who live in insidious, cunning and hypocrisy are also naturally infected with the habit of selfishness and hypocrisy. She once thought that if she could not be as free as Qiao Nan, she would find a way to drag Qiao Nan into the abyss to accompany her Own.

But then she didn't want to.

Qiao Nan was as deep in the abyss as she was, if only one could get out, then she hoped it would be Qiao Nan.

She herself is a selfish ghost soaked in interests. It doesn't matter where she is alone, but Qiao Nan is a beam of light that shouldn't be in the abyss. Even if she tries her best, she will let Qiao Nan break free from all this and have a new life. .

What about facing unknown enemies?

There is always her going forward head-on with her financial resources and contacts, supporting a clean Qiao Nan to usher in justice and new life.

Fei Jiao, who has always been proud of such a secret and strong love, can't express it.

Therefore, with the help of alcohol, through moist eyes, he can only answer speciously—this kind of situation will not happen.

Qiao Nan can't protect Fei Jiao, so let Fei Jiao protect Qiao Nan.

The author has something to say: ah, the more I write, the more I love Mr. Xiao Fei;

This kind of secret and tsundere love is also very touching when I write it;

Two people did not say a word of love to each other, did not think that they would continue to be together in the future, but did countless things to love each other
