This Mike really didn’t lie to Brianna before. His real name is Mike Cressey.
Before he was eighteen years old, he had lived in the same neighborhood where Brina's family had lived before. The distance between the two families was only a few hundred meters at most. Later, when Brina was twelve years old, Brina's family moved to where they are now.
In the new neighborhood, we live in new big houses.
The two were in the same school, so in fact, Mike and Bryna must have met each other, but Bryna had no impression of him at all.
But the other party has been silently paying attention to Brynna since she was a child, or has been secretly in love with Brina. If the other party is a handsome guy, everyone may think that he is infatuated.
But it's a pity that he is not a handsome guy, but a fat and wretched otaku, which only makes people feel a little creepy and perverted.
This is the reality of people.
Especially for Brina, knowing that there is such a person who has been secretly and silently monitoring her will only make her spine run cold, and then she will be unable to sleep at night, and she will be on tenterhooks, and she will have no way to deal with this kind of attention or so-called concern from the other person.
move.
Now that she knows that the other party is dead, Brina is really relieved.
Although the cause of death of the other party made her feel incredible, and she even thought there might be something fishy in it, she would not delve into it. So what if the other party was secretly murdered?
Anyway, the other party is dead and will no longer continue to secretly monitor and monitor her every move. She will only feel relieved and happy.
Chen Feng also felt that the cause of Mike's death was a bit suspicious. There were cases of death from vomiting and suffocation after drinking, but what was the probability of it happening to young people?
Especially when it happened not long after this person had just made a personal threat to him, this is really something that people can't help but think about.
Brynna knew the inside story, so when she called Chen Feng and told him about it, her tone would inevitably be a little strange, and she would somewhat speculate whether Mike's death was related to Chen Feng.
It's just that she couldn't directly ask about it on the phone, so she could only keep this speculation in her heart for the time being.
She is not the only one who has such speculations. For example, Richard, the lawyer Chen Feng paid for before, became obviously more respectful and polite when he called him after learning about this incident.
Of course, as a criminal lawyer, Richard has seen many murders and murder cases. His call this time was just to inform Chen Feng that the police had confirmed that Mike was the person who called to threaten Chen Feng. So,
The case that Chen Feng had previously entrusted him to report to the police could be officially closed, that's all.
There was no probing question about whether Mike's death was related to Chen Feng, and there was no hint.
But Chen Feng could still clearly feel Richard's sudden respect for him from his words. People are like this. People with powerful methods are not only scary but also respected.
Chen Feng received the call from Richard the next morning, mainly to listen to him talk about this matter. After finishing speaking, the other party said to him in a very polite tone: "Mr. Chen, if you need my help in the future,
You can call me anytime and I will be on call 24 hours a day.”
"Okay, I'll contact you if necessary." Chen Feng said casually.
The other party was a criminal lawyer, so what he said made him feel a little rude, but he couldn't say anything. After all, that was what the other party was doing.
"Thank you and have a nice day. Goodbye."
Richard also noticed that Chen Feng was not very enthusiastic, so he immediately ended the call.
After Chen Feng put down his cell phone, he looked at Brina aside.
Brynna came over from home last night and had just finished breakfast and was sitting next to him.
He looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, and said to her: "Why don't you avoid it?"
Her father, Frank, will be coming over at any time. Seeing the two of them together will probably be a little embarrassing.
Brina looked at him with a smile and asked, "Are you afraid that my dad will come over and see us together?"
Chen Feng nodded calmly: "Yes, aren't you afraid that he will see us together?"
"Of course." Brina nodded and said, "I finally came out of the depression and darkness before, and I have a new date. My parents will only be happy for me. Besides, I took you to my house as a guest last time.
, they have known about our relationship for a long time. I came to see you last night and told them, do you think it is still necessary to hide it? "
Chen Feng had no choice but to refute. He spread his hands and said, "Well, since you don't care, what do I, a man, care about?"
Brina hugged his shoulders and smiled: "Don't you think it's good for us to do this? Even if my dad sees it, he will be happy for us. Besides, with our relationship, I
When dad works for you, he should work harder, right? Don't you think so?"
It seemed true. Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and kiss her on the cheek. The reason why he asked Brina's father to help set up a family trust fund was because of Brina's relationship, wasn't it?
Brina smiled sweetly, turned around and took a sip of fragrance on Chen Feng's face.
At this moment, Qin Xiaorou's voice sounded from behind: "Hey, hey, I said you two are so early in the morning, so you don't need to show off your affection like this."
Qin Xiaorou slept here without going home last night because her father didn't think of her daughter until after nine o'clock last night and called her. At that time, she had already found a room here to lie down on the bed and rest, of course.
She did not go home again, and told her father that she planned to stay here for the next few days.
Her father, Qin Weiguo, agreed after only a slight hesitation. Qin Xiaorou had been in a bad mood these past few days because of the death of her friend. It would be great if she could have fun with Chen Feng. Besides, he also had to focus on an experiment these days, so he was busy.
Very, I don’t have any more energy to take care of my daughter.
He didn't want his daughter to bother Chen Feng, but she was willing, and Chen Feng had a relationship with Liu Meijun, so she probably wouldn't mind.
So, Qin Xiaorou lived here, but she hadn't officially told Chen Feng yet, but if she wanted to come, Chen Feng would definitely not refuse.
But when she woke up "early in the morning", she saw the scene of Chen Feng and Brina in the living room, and couldn't help but remind them.
Last night, before Brynna came over, Chen Feng sent Qin Xiaorou to her room to sleep. The two of them hadn't even seen each other, and Qin Xiaorou didn't know Brynna either.
But this did not prevent Qin Xiaorou from teasing her the first time he met her.
Brina knew about Qin Xiaorou. Chen Feng told her last night. Chen Feng said that Qin Xiaorou was a girl with a poisonous tongue. Now that they had just met, it turned out to be true.
As a Western woman, Brina has a restrained personality, but she is still within the acceptable range for this level of teasing. However, she immediately released her arm around Chen Feng's shoulders, stood up with a smile, and turned around to look at
Qin Xiaorou raised her hand slightly and said, "Hi, my name is Brina, Chen Feng's friend. Nice to meet you."
After Qin Xiaorou looked Brina up and down, she responded listlessly: "My name is Qin Xiaorou, and I am also Chen Feng's friend. By the way, are you sure you are just his friend, not his girlfriend?"
Brina's smile couldn't help but froze slightly, but she immediately responded: "Yes, I'm not his girlfriend yet."
Qin Xiaorou immediately mocked Chen Feng: "Uncle, are you sure she is just your ordinary friend?"
Being teased and ridiculed by a little girl, Chen Feng was still a little embarrassed, so he stood up, looked at Qin Xiaorou and said, "Don't ask questions, go over and have breakfast. If it's cold, heat it up in the microwave yourself."
Chen Feng pointed towards the restaurant.
Qin Xiaorou curled her lips and muttered as she walked toward the restaurant, "You really know how to play."
Seeing Qin Xiaorou go to the restaurant, Brina whispered to Chen Feng: "This girl has a really powerful mouth."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "So, you'd better have less contact with her, otherwise you won't be in a happy mood."
Brina asked, "Then why do you still have contact with her and be friends with her?"
Chen Feng was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe I have a fate with her. Although she has a sharp tongue, her nature is not bad."
Brina didn't know what to say.
Soon after, Andre also got up and came out of the room. After saying hello to Chen Feng and Brina, he also went to the restaurant to have breakfast. He also chatted and laughed with Qin Xiaorou, looking like they were having a great time chatting with each other.
.
This made both Chen Feng and Brina feel a little incredible.
Then Frank finally came over. He was not surprised at all when he saw Chen Feng and his daughter together. He even smiled and said hello to Chen Feng and chatted for a while.
After Andre finished his breakfast, Chen Feng took the two lawyers to the conference room and started working.
Brina and Qin Xiaorou took some time off and sat on the sofa in the living room at the same time.
"How about we play games?" Qin Xiaorou suggested.
"Okay, what games do you like to play?" Brina asked.
"Whatever, I can play any game, racing, fighting, dancing, etc." Qin Xiaorou said without being modest at all.
When Brina heard this, she said: "Then let's fight."
Qin Xiaorou nodded immediately: "Okay, let's do "Mortal Kombat" then."
Brina was stunned, turned her head and asked, "Are you eighteen years old enough?"
Mortal Kombat is very bloody and violent. It is classified as a 18+ banned game, which means it is recommended that people over 18 years old play it.
Qin Xiaorou pouted and said, "I have played this game a long time ago, and many of my classmates of the same age have also played it."
Brina shook her head firmly and said, "I think we should just play racing."
Qin Xiaorou didn't insist, and nodded and said, "Okay, let's just race. Yesterday, I played with Chen Feng, and he lost all three games."
Brina smiled and said, "Then I will avenge him today."
Qin Xiaorou said disdainfully: "Okay, if you have the ability, just come over."
During lunch, Chen Feng and the others came out of the conference room and saw a proud Qin Xiaorou and a dejected Brynna.
Chen Feng thought that Brina was destroyed by Qin Xiaorou's poisonous tongue, so he asked Qin Xiaorou in Mandarin angrily: "Xiaorou, what's going on with you?"
Qin Xiaorou said with a slight sarcasm: "It's nothing. She is just like you. She has lost to me in games and has never won once. She is good at it and loves to play. It's true."
Chen Feng suddenly understood, but it shouldn't be the case. He had lost yesterday, so he wouldn't be so downcast.
Chen Feng looked at Brina with some confusion.
Brina sensed what he meant, smiled bitterly and shook her head and said: "I lost three games in a row playing racing with her, and I also lost in playing skiing, bicycling, and gliding with her. It was the same when playing other games with her, and I never won once.
Do you think I am a failure?"
When she said this, the three grown men on Chen Feng's side couldn't help but laugh.
Frank comforted: "Dear, this is just a game, if you lose, you lose."
Brina said speechlessly: "But the problem is that I have played so many games with her, but we have never won once, especially racing. I often play with you at home, but you have never beaten me."
Frank also shook his head speechlessly, thinking that your dad really only plays games for fun, not for winning or losing.
Qin Xiaorou said with a smile: "There is an old saying in our Dragon Kingdom, which is called 'There is another mountain higher than the other'. In my opinion, my game level is much higher than yours, but I am not the top either. There must be others who are better than me."
It’s even more powerful, so don’t worry about winning or losing anymore.”
When Brina heard this, she didn't appreciate it very much and gave Qin Xiaorou a blank look.
When they were just the two of them, she was often teased by Qin Xiaorou about her poor skills. She couldn't fight back and could only endure it silently. This was also an important reason why she was dejected now. She was being abused all the time and couldn't resist, which was very miserable!
Otherwise, it’s not like she can’t afford to lose. As for this? She was all hit by Qin Xiaorou’s poisonous tongue.
She really wanted to win against Qin Xiaorou once, return her previous taunts and feel proud, but unfortunately she kept losing and never won.
"Okay, let's go eat together."
Chen Feng invited everyone to go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.
Lunch was quite sumptuous. After several people finished eating, they returned to the presidential suite. Brina offered to fight Qin Xiaorou again, and the latter readily agreed.
Chen Feng and the two lawyers continued to work in the conference room.
By the time it was dinner time, the two girls had stopped playing games and had switched to playing chess or chess. I don’t know where they got it from.
Chen Feng went over to take a look, and saw Brina frowning in thought, her face solemn and solemn, while Qin Xiaorou pouted at the opposite side with a relaxed and helpless expression.
Needless to say, in the situation between the two of them, Brina was the one being abused.
Seeing Chen Feng coming over, Qin Xiaorou immediately shouted in surprise: "Uncle, please persuade her to stop competing with me."
"Don't call me uncle, okay? I don't seem to be that old, right?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but corrected him.
"Don't you think it's kind to call you uncle?" Qin Xiaorou asked back, and then said, "You'd better persuade her first. She kept pestering me to compete with her. After she couldn't win the game, she started playing cards with me.
In the end, she still couldn't beat me, so she started playing chess with me after that. But when I was a kid, I learned chess in a hobby class, so it was even easier to beat her. She just didn't believe in evil, and even after losing five games in a row, she still wanted to continue playing with me.
, this is all a bit crazy."
Chen Feng was speechless for a while after hearing her words. He didn't expect Brina's desire to win to be so strong.
Chen Feng glanced at Brina helplessly. After all, she was also a college student from a prestigious university here in America. Unexpectedly, she was crushed by Qin Xiaorou, a junior high school student, in both gaming and IQ.
Chen Feng felt a little sympathy for Brina. Her psychological shadow must have been huge at this time.
"Can't you deliberately lose to her once?" Chen Feng said to Qin Xiaorou with a hint of complaint.
Qin Xiaorou shook her head seriously and said, "Of course not. Playing games is like an exam. You must take it seriously and you cannot cheat."
Chen Feng was also convinced, and simply said to Brina, who was still thinking hard: "Lina, don't think about it, she is a genius, you know? Her father is a professor of biology at the University of California, and she has been receiving education from gifted children since she was a child.
Cutting-edge education and training, how do you compare with her?"
When Brina heard Chen Feng's words, her expression finally relaxed, she spread her hands and said, "Okay, I admit that I can't match the genius girl's IQ, and I admit defeat."
Everyone was speechless.
Thanks to my friend for the tip!
If there are no unexpected events in the future, updates will generally be done during the day or before 11 o'clock at night, so I won't stay up late.
Dear book friends, try not to stay up late and take care of yourself.
