"Are you ready, my princess?" A voice came from outside the door unhurriedly. She had been in the changing room for a long time, but what surprised Su Luowei was that she actually came to ask Not the old butler Alfred, but the owner of this manor, Bruce Wayne.

She took a last look in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror. After making sure that she was wearing the right clothes, she glanced at the dressing table, and still hesitated for a while without moving the expensive-looking necklace there.

Opening the door, Bruce was leaning against the door, fully prepared, looking down at his phone.After hearing the sound of the door opening, he stood up straight and looked up at Su Luowei.

"How?" Su Luo asked slightly uneasy.

Yesterday she promised Bruce to attend a party held in Wayne Manor today. Su Luowei didn't have time to prepare the appropriate costumes, but Bruce said that he would prepare everything, and it turned out that he did arrange it perfectly.Su Luo secretly suspected that this was all due to the old housekeeper of the Wayne family.

"Very good." Bruce circled around Su Luo for half a circle, approached her from behind, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said with a smile to her, "It seems that your trouble has been solved?"

"Not yet... But, I have some ideas." Su Luo tilted her head slightly and replied, she didn't want to get entangled in this issue, so she decided to change the subject and asked, "Do you have any specific theme for today's dinner? " Su Luowei agreed to Bruce without asking him what was going on, and now she regretted seeing this overly formal dress.

"It's a good thing." Bruce still smiled at her, leading her to the hall while answering, looking in a good mood.

five hours ago.

Su Luowei arrived at the coffee shop he designated according to the time set by the black mask.If it wasn't for the black mask that emptied the coffee shop in advance, it would mean that the store was in a downturn to a certain extent.

Su Luo walked in slightly and looked at the drowsy boss standing at the front desk, found a seat near the glass window and sat down, and glanced at his watch.

"Welcome, welcome!" When the time jumped to three o'clock, she watched as the door leading to the back of the coffee shop opened, and several people walked in. Everyone surrounded by them wore black masks, white The slack suit applauded him approvingly as he came and sat across from her.

"I've heard a little about the fact that Ficoni's replacement is a girl, but I have to say that the reality is a little different from what I imagined." The black mask dramatically raised and lowered his hand and said Su Luowei.

"..." Su Luo looked at the other party slightly and sighed. The drowsy boss woke up at some point, and brought two cups of coffee after the black mask beckoned.Su Luowei didn't take it, so she put it on the table and looked at him.She also felt that she couldn't figure out the opponent, an old fritter who had been in the gang for many years, so Su Luowei decided to keep it simple and asked her most concerned question, "Where is my friend?"

The black mask didn't do Tai Chi with her either. He waved his hand and saw a black girl in a t-shirt and jeans under the two men.And Ramsey opened his mouth when he saw Su Luowei.

"Just shut up." Su Luo shook her head slightly, seeing that the two men holding Ramsey didn't intend to let go, so she turned around again and looked at the black mask, "You called me here. whats the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just want to meet with you. After all, you know, Ficoni and I were business partners before this." The black mask, with legs crossed, sat leisurely, looking like he was planning a strategy.

Su Luo sighed slightly, "The business partner you mean, that is, you robbed my site?"

"That's just a means of protection. You have been silent. If I don't do anything, that piece of land will fall into the hands of the Penguin." The black mask took a sip of coffee and slowly acted like a shrewd businessman." That sentence How to put it, take care of it."

"You might as well call it a lease." Su Luo replied sarcastically, but the other party smiled and pretended not to understand the sentence.

So Su Luowei crossed her legs together and shrugged, "You also know that Ficoni is Ficoni, and it is not Ficoni who is in power now, so if I say that I don't like masks?"

"Your experience is still not enough, I'm sorry about that." The black mask shook his head, smiled as if regretting something, tapped the table with his fingers, and sighed.

Su Luo slightly felt a red spot flashing in front of her eyes, she subconsciously closed her eyes, opened them again, and looked down at a red spot on her chest.

Even if he hadn't actually encountered it, after watching TV for so many years, Su Luowei knew that it was the best infrared aiming.

"It seems that your information is inaccurate. You really think this thing can hurt me." Su Luo looked at the other party slightly, reaching out to touch the sword on his back, but the other party shook his finger and pointed at Ramsey, Su Luo Luo Wei turned her head and saw the red spot on Ramsey's brow, "I know it might not hurt you, but I believe it can hurt her, I believe you didn't come here alone to take away a corpse Bar."

"..." Su Luo paused for a moment and didn't move any further, but the black mask seemed satisfied with this and said with a smile, "Let's talk about business now?"

"..." Su Luo slightly raised his head to look at the black mask, but didn't speak, just tapped his fingers on the table.The black mask waited for Su Luowei's answer, but there was no movement for a long time. He couldn't help it, and wanted to speak. The moment he was about to open his mouth, the red spot between Ramsey's eyebrows shook violently, and then the bullet broke through the window. The sound, a bullet grazed Ramsey and hit someone next to her.

Then, the red aiming, slowly moving, turned to the black mask's brow

Su Luo slightly turned her head to look at the small-caliber hole drilled by the bullet on the glass wall. The surrounding glass did not shatter due to the impact. She turned her head again and smiled at the black mask, "Let's talk about business?"

"As I said, Ficone is Ficone, and I am me. Ficone may like the feeling of being the boss behind the scenes, but I like to do it myself." Su Luowei stood up and turned to look at Ramsey, With the tacit approval of Black Mask, his men let go of Ramsey, "Our 'business' is done today. You 'invited' my friend to ask me out for a cup of coffee, and now, I'll drink it." Su Luo thought for a while and turned around, picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of the warm coffee, and left with Ramsey, "I still have an appointment, let's see you later."

Because of the sniper's aim, the black mask did not move. Su Luowei took Ramsey out of the coffee shop safely. There were people coming and going on the street. Occasionally, one or two people looked here and saw hanging on the door. Closed sign turned around and left, no one knows what happened in this unassuming coffee shop

Just after Su Luowei took Ramsey into the car and left at an intersection, Su Luowei's cell phone rang.

"Death shot." Su Luo didn't even look at it, and calmly read the other party's name the moment the phone was picked up.

"Usually, I don't take jobs from gangsters." The other party on the phone snorted coldly and replied.

"Usually I don't hire criminals either. Breaking into Arkham is no small matter." Su Luowei immediately countered.

"..." The other party snorted coldly, did not refute anything, just said "I want the reward."

"The luggage storage point at Gotham Airport, I will send you the license plate number, you can find a way to open it yourself." Su Luowei replied.

"What did you give him?" Ramsey couldn't help asking after Su Luowei hung up the phone.

"Money and his daughter's ID." Su Luowei replied.

"He didn't ask for a certificate for himself?" Ramsey didn't ask Su Luowei how the forged certificate came from. Su Luowei's gang resources plus the Sky Eye system were enough to create an almost real identity for him and others. Daughter flies away "Isn't this the usual routine in the movie."

"Because he knows that someone will always find him, and he can't get out of that circle. Therefore, the best way to protect his daughter is to keep the relationship clear. No one will bother to check the details of a little girl."

just now.

"Tonight, promise me something." When he reached the door of the hall, facing the closed door, Bruce didn't rush to push it in, but turned around and looked at Su Luowei and asked.

"What?" Su Luo asked strangely.

"Stay tonight."

"..." Su Luo looked into Bruce's blue eyes slightly, knowing that the other party was not just talking casually, she sighed in the bottom of her heart, and suppressed the idea of ​​breaking up with the other party.

She thought that Bruce could be whoever he wanted to be, and get anything he wanted, so soon, when he found something better, he would break up with herself peacefully, and there was no need to rush for a while.

So she nodded and answered "Okay."

The other party nodded in satisfaction, smiled, pushed open the door, and walked into the hall full of upper-class people waiting for him.

Bruce walked up to the podium for speeches under everyone's attention. After looking around, he was silent for a second and began to say the theme of the dinner——

"I've often wondered, to me, Bruce Wayne, what is Gotham? Home? Family? Goals? But the truth is, I can't answer that question. And then I remembered something my dad said to me when I was a kid. 'Bruce, tomorrow is only a dream away.' Then my parents had misfortune, and those were the worst days of my life. And then, my father's words stuck in my head, and finally Let me be sure that things will be alright. And that's what I want to say to you today, friends, that the question of what Gotham is doesn't make sense when we're deep or in challenging or daunting circumstances. As Bruce said so, he patted the podium in front of him, and the soft blue light projected from the electronic screen embedded in it formed a virtual image of a city.

"However, if we ask, what will Gotham be tomorrow? If we can shape the city instead of being shaped by the city. I hope that at this moment people will be willing to stop and think Gotham 'was' or 'is' What, but think about what the future of Gotham will be."

The next second, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Su Luowei stood at the door and looked at the person on the podium at the other end of the hall. His figure was obscured by the virtual image, but his eyes seemed to be At this moment, you can see every corner of the hall.

—Gotham is a mystery.

Su Luowei thought at this moment, but there are still people who are willing to fight for it.
