Talk it over

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was still noisy, but Zhao Rui felt that it was as far away as a million miles away.

All his attention was focused on the blond foreigner at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Although he had expected that the man was a rare and powerful person, he did not expect that the man would be so perceptive that he was discovered after only a few careful glances!

By this time, Zhao Rui's mind was already full of doubts, why would such a strong western man suddenly come to the East Lake?

If it was said that East Lake was a cosmopolitan city and such a strong man had come, there was nothing to be surprised about. The reason is that cosmopolitan cities are places where cultures and religions clash and merge with each other.

However, East Lake is only a small to medium-sized city, and the spiritual energy in the city is not particularly dense, so even Eastern cultivators, demons and monsters are extremely rare, not to mention Western powerhouses.

The fact that such a Western powerhouse had come to East Lake as the head of a foreign company's branch office could not make people suspicious.

Zhao Rui's mind quickly turned a few thoughts and suddenly thought, "Could this person belong to the same group as the bank robbers in the bank robbery?

Because the four bank robbers were all foreign mercenaries!

Zhao Rui's gaze flickered for a moment, thinking that it was very likely, in fact, at this sensitive point in time, it would be difficult not to speculate in this way.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Zhao Rui's mind, and he met the blond man's gaze for just a moment.

He quickly averted his gaze, showing an air of indifference, and stuck his hands in his pockets. He left without a moment's hesitation.

The blonde-haired western strongman, too, did not chase after him, but only locked his gaze on Zhao Rui's back, with a playful smile on his lips. zuilu

"Respected Mr. Byrd, what are you looking at?" Lin Wan Yang felt that the blond man seemed to be a little distracted, so he reminded him. "It's time for you to cut the ribbon."

Byrd glanced at him, smiled slightly and said, "I just met an interesting fellow. It seems that my journey to East Lake this time. It won't be too boring."

Byrd spoke Chinese, but it was very rusty, as he had learnt it in a short time before coming to China. It was very good.

"Interesting guy?" Lin Wan Yang was slightly stunned, and then tensed up. "Does it mean that you just saw the silver-faced man?"

"Oh? I don't know if he's a silver-faced man or not, all I know is that that guy seems to be very powerful." Byrd said with a shrug.

After the opening ceremony. Byrd also socialised with the guests who came over to support the event, and then went straight back to his office, he really wasn't interested in all this.

In fact. Since the opening of the company, it was just a cover for his identity and to facilitate his operations in East Lake. After several major cases in East Lake, the police have become very strict in checking foreigners, even foreigners.

By putting up the name of the general manager of a foreign company as a cover, it would be much easier for him to move around in East Lake.

As soon as Byrd entered his office, Lin Wan Yang quickly followed him in. Byrd was a special agent sent by the New York headquarters of the Electric God Company, so he naturally dared not be half-hearted.

He had been very clear since he saw Robin transform into a werewolf that night that the special agents from the New York headquarters were more eccentric and perverted than the others, and although this Byrd seemed to be gentle and harmless, no one knew what he was actually like. zuilu

"Mr. Bird, there's something I don't know if I should ask." As soon as he entered the door, Lin Wan Yang showed a somewhat flattering smile and said.

"What is it? Go ahead and ask." Byrd sat down on the boss's chair, interlaced his two legs and rested them on the desk, then said.

Lin Wan Yang asked tentatively, "I want to know when you are going to, are you going to make a move on Yun Fang's mother and daughter?"

In his heart, Lin Wan Yang hoped that the sooner Byrd did it, the better, because, the sooner he finished his task, the sooner these plague gods, would be able to leave East Lake. His life, too, would be much better.

"Why do you want to make a move on them?" Byrd asked rhetorically as he crossed his fingers and looked at him.

Lin Wan Yang said with a slight frown, "Because, they're at the top of the assassination list!"

Byrd raised the corners of his mouth, showing his disdain in no uncertain terms, "That assassination list was made by one of your previous collaborators. Why should I carry it out? To be honest, it was a silly plan to use a dark

Only a foolish, violent, limbless fool would have devised such a plan! Our goal is to find the blood crystal, not to kill everyone, understand? Find the blood crystal, that's the point!"

"Yes, yes." Lin Wan Yang hastily nodded in agreement, then cautiously put forward his suggestion, "However, according to our investigation, the blood crystal is most likely in the hands of several hostages in the bank robbery, and Yun Fang, mother and daughter, are highly suspected!"

"What use would an ordinary person have for a blood crystal?" Byrd said indifferently, "I do think that the mysterious silver-faced man, is highly suspicious, because, he was also present in the bank, and took out four robbers."

Lin Wan Yang laughed bitterly, "That silver-faced man is a ghost, so it's not like we can't find him."

"That's not necessarily true." Byrd wiggled his toes and said, "You get me the information on Yun Fang's mother and daughter as well as their invited friends and buddies, I want to study them all."

"Yes." Lin Wan Yang hurriedly agreed, then turned around and went out to prepare.

Lin Wan Yang was very efficient, and by the afternoon of the next day, the information on Yun Fang and Yun Ren's sidekicks had all been prepared and delivered to Byrd.

Byrd did not look at them in detail, but simply scanned through them, looking at photos and names.

When flipping through the seventh profile, his movements suddenly stopped, his eyes looked at a photo, and a small smile appeared on his lips, "So, you are called Zhao Rui."

~~~~~~~~

While Bird was in his office, looking through Zhao Rui's profile, Zhao Rui had already had a day of classes and was getting ready to join Yun Fang and go home from work.

"That reporter Sun, is he still coming to you now?" Zhao Rui walked down the stone steps of the teaching building while chatting idly with Yun Fang in a rambling manner.

Yun Fang nodded somewhat helplessly, "Sometimes she will come over, but not as often as before."

"She really has perseverance!" Zhao Rui couldn't help but laugh.

"I feel the same way Bureau does." Yun Fang shook her head, seemingly unable to do much with Sun Weiwei, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, do you have time tonight? My friend gave me three movie tickets, but there are only two people in my family, so if you're interested, why don't you go together, how about it?"

With that, she pulled out a movie ticket from her pocket and handed it to Zhao Rui.

"Invite me to watch a movie?" Zhao Rui looked at Yun Fang's mature and beautiful pretty face and was slightly surprised.

There could be many meanings for such a beautiful woman to invite him to a movie.

Yun Fang's gaze dodged a little, and her fair, jade-like cheeks were tinged with a thin layer of red, like an already ripe, juicy peach, making one's heart flutter.

"Yun Ren wants you to go very much, so ..." she excused herself, and there seemed little strength in her voice.

"I'm going!"

Zhao Rui smiled and held out his hand, picking up the movie ticket.

Yun Fang gave him a somewhat shy, and somewhat delighted look before whispering, "I have to pick up Yun Ren from school . I'll just go first."

Zhao Rui had some errands of his own to run, so he nodded and said, "I'll see you tonight then."

He said goodbye to Yun Fang, left the school and was about to take a taxi home when Zhao Rui's heart suddenly jumped and a warning sign appeared.

He was acutely aware that an extremely dangerous presence had appeared right in his vicinity!

He slowly turned his head and looked to his right, and saw that a blond, blue-eyed, handsome foreign man with a smile on his face was walking towards him from across the road.

"You are Mr. Zhao Rui, right?" The foreign man walked up to him and asked with a smile.

Zhao Rui's eyes were filled with a wary look, his internal true qi had been raised to its highest level, but his face was spring and warm, gentle and cordial: "Yes, I am, may I ask what you are looking for me?"

"My name is Bird, I think I met yesterday." Byrd was courteous and smiling, "Nothing in particular really, just wanted to talk to you, I don't know, do you have time?"

Zhao Rui's gaze flicked around Byrd's face a few times, wondering what exactly he had in mind.

Zhao Rui had a quick thought in his mind, although this Byrd, of unknown origin, was a strong man, he was not afraid of him.

So, he smiled and said slowly, "Good. Then let's find a place and talk it over."
