Chapter 172 If the King Wants His Subject to Die, the Subject Must Die
After paying and coming out of the barber shop, Jiang Siyue went straight into a black Cayenne that happened to be parked on the side of the road.
"Why did you come in person?" She closed the door, fastened her seat belt, and raised the button to raise the window. "The people from Nanlingshan Club didn't invite Boss Shen to dinner?"
"I've invited you, but I don't want to go," Shen Zelan turned the steering wheel to the left and drove out of the parking space, saying calmly, "You don't know that the old guys in Nanling Mountain have some arms deals in their hands."
"Every time I attend their dinner, they either brag or brag about me. It's really boring."
Jiang Siyue nodded in agreement, and then seized the opportunity: "Oh, it turns out that we still have to rely on our boss Shen for arms. So I say to send Yide..."
"Boss," Shen Zelan nipped her little trick in the bud in an instant, "The game will start in three hours. It's not appropriate for you to say this now."
"Hmm? Inappropriate?" Jiang Siyue touched his chin, his mind racing, "Then our Alan can't wait to pick me up after work..."
"Are you afraid that I'll run away again?"
"..." Shen Zelan's inner thoughts were exposed again. She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the steering wheel guiltily. "No, I was just worried that your car would break down and it would be inconvenient."
Jiang Siyue raised his eyebrows and looked at her profile with a half-smile: "Three years have passed, and Boss Shen's ability to evade the truth has indeed improved."
The traffic light at the intersection turned from yellow to red, and Shen Zelan slammed on the brakes.
The Cayenne stopped in the straight lane with a "whoosh", and the front wheels were only two centimeters away from the stop line.
"..."
"Your new hairdo looks great."
However, Boss Shen organized his words for a long time, but finally skipped the topic and sincerely praised his boss.
Jiang Siyue looked out the window with a helpless smile: "Alan, Alan... just concentrate on driving! The emergency brake made me dizzy..."
Shen Zelan's straight lips gradually bent, and she asked tentatively: "Then...I'll treat you to boiled fish for dinner?"
Jiang Siyue: "...I'll make it twice as spicy. I'll barely forgive you."
Shen Zelan: "Four times the price, you must forgive me."
Jiang Siyue said without hesitation: "Deal."
……
Eight o'clock in the evening, Nanling Mountain.
The night sky on the top of the mountain was torn apart by searchlights, and the roar of engines rushed back and forth between the mountains.
Shen Zelan pushed the door and walked into the single lounge. Jiang Siyue was slowly peeling an apple with a dagger.
"Luna, the competition is going to start in an hour, why are you still here peeling apples?" She handed over the car keys and asked jokingly.
"I'm waiting for you, aren't I?" Jiang Siyue tilted her head to signal her to put the car keys on the table, and then stuffed her a freshly peeled apple, "Also, Boss Shen, please don't call me that."
"I loved listening to it when I was young and had chuunibyou, but now I really can't."
Shen Zelan took the apple and laughed non-stop: "But people in the circle have always called you this?"
"You just went to the foot of the mountain to explore. Didn't you hear them all calling her 'Moon Goddess'?"
Jiang Siyue put away his knife and wiped his hands, jokingly saying, "I didn't hear it, but I heard a lot of people shouting 'Lan Shen'."
"...Boss!" Lan Shen tried to tease Yue Shen but was teased instead, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Jiang Siyue was sitting calmly with his legs crossed, eating an apple. Seeing this, he finally let her go with satisfaction.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," she said slowly, "I checked all the clubs in the mountains, and the situation is pretty much the same as we expected."
"They are basically made up of members of international assassin organizations and mercenary organizations. One or two of them are even backed by world-renowned listed companies. It's no wonder they want to go the arms route."
Shen Zelan sat down next to her and said hesitantly, "But what does this have to do with the location you want to check?"
Jiang Siyue chuckled twice: "Of course it is related."
She sent the route map generated by the locator to Shen Zelan. Shen Zelan only took a glance and determined the last address where the point disappeared.
"The owner of the Jiying Club, Dillon, is from Esperi. He personally came to my door six days ago and gave me an invitation to a dinner on the Sano River cruise ship," she said with emphasis. "The time of the dinner... seems to be tomorrow."
Jiang Siyue's eyes moved slightly, and then he continued, "Behind Jiying is a biotechnology company called 'Xinrui'. In the past two years, it has emerged as a dark horse with a number of drug patents and has almost taken over the entire Western Hemisphere market."
"The founder, Heron, is now in the Extreme Shadow Club."
Shen Zelan heard the hidden meaning in her words: "You didn't see that woman?"
Jiang Siyue used his free right index finger to hook Shen Zelan's silver hair: "Yeah. But I'm more inclined to believe that she was already dead on the day the locator was discovered."
"...Did you find anything in the Jiying backyard?" Shen Zelan put down the apple and casually pulled all her hair to her left shoulder.
Jiang Siyue really took advantage of the situation and said, "It's not a discovery, but among all the clubs, only the backyard of Jiying had traces of helicopters taking off and landing—"
"Hey Zelan, I wanted to ask you this morning, when did you dye your hair white? I remember when I saw you three years ago, it seemed to be still gray."
Shen Zelan said calmly: "Yesterday."
After a pause, she asked again, "Which color do you think looks better, gray or white?"
Jiang Siyue thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think it's because she's good-looking. After all, such a tricky hair color can't be supported without some good looks."
Shen Zelan suppressed the corners of her mouth and spoke in a voice lighter than a feather: "In my heart, you are the most beautiful..."
——Boss Shen obviously underestimated her boss’s super hearing as a top killer.
You have to know that at such a close distance, even if it was just a buzzing mosquito passing by, Jiang Siyue could just crush the insect to death without even looking at it.
"What were you whispering about? You didn't even take a bite of the apple I gave you?" It's a pity that Boss Jiang's beauty was completely exchanged for his emotional intelligence.
If she dares to claim second place in the field of destroying the atmosphere, then no one can claim first place.
And at the moment when Shen Zelan was stunned, Jiang Siyue had already stuffed the apple back into her palm.
"Apples nourish the lungs, relieve anxiety about quitting smoking and provide vitamin C. I ate them obediently."
Shen Zelan struggled and said, "But Boss, I don't love you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Siyue who was washing her hands at the sink: "Don't be picky about food."
"..." Shen Zelan's expression at this moment was probably that he was cursing Apple's ancestors in his heart.
But the eternal truths such as "You will suffer the consequences if you commit evil" and "If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die" still made her "click" and take a small bite with a fearless attitude.
Jiang Siyue held back her laughter and walked back to the tea table to pick up the car keys: "Lan Shen, take your time eating. I'm going to check my equipment and change my clothes first."
"See you on the field~"
Shen Zelan frowned, eating the fruit pulp, which was barely the size of a coin, as if it tasted like chewing wax. After Jiang Siyue finished speaking, she inexplicably felt something was wrong.
But I don’t know what’s wrong.
It was not until she saw the smile on her boss's lips as she slipped out the door that Shen Zelan finally realized what was going on - this bad woman actually used the apple to mess with her mentality on purpose!
"Jiang Siyue!!" When a rabbit is anxious, it will bite. When Lan Shen is anxious, he will call the Moon God by his name.
She threw the apple into the trash can, picked up two bottles of mineral water and chased after him: "Stop!!"
Jiang Siyue's clear laughter came from the corner of the corridor: "You wish!"
