"That's it." The guide stopped.
Oakham looked up and saw that the house had an ancient atmosphere from top to bottom. The door was small, the inside was dark, and it was raining, making it feel very uncomfortable.
"You guys are really good at picking places." Oakham said with a bit of disgust.
The guide smiled slightly, "Mr. likes it here very much, so... please, Mr. Oakham."
Oakham felt helpless and said to his subordinates, "You go and wait for me across the street. I'll be back as soon as I go."
He was about to take the girl in with him, but the leader stopped him.
"Sir said, you only need to go in alone."
The girl raised her eyebrows and was a little unhappy, "Hey! What do you mean? You're afraid that I might eavesdrop!"
The guide still kept smiling, but his words were cold, "Don't get me wrong, girl, I didn't mean that, but the rules are the rules. I hope you can be more considerate of the difficulties of being servants like us."
"Tch!" The girl didn't appreciate it. She turned to Oakham and said coquettishly, "Baby, look at him!! He is mean to me~~~"
Oakham rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, go with them to the other side of the street and wait for me. I'll be out in a minute."
The girl pouted, snorted, and walked away angrily.
The guide then stepped aside and said, "Please."
Oakham straightened his clothes and walked through the door.
…
This quaint little building looked very depressing from the outside, but once inside, Oakham realized that there was something special inside.
Not only has the rain stopped, but everything has become brighter. There are many colorful flowers planted in the small yard in front of the building. Passing through, the fragrance hits your face, which is very comforting.
When he reached the front hall, Oakham stopped and led passers-by into the backyard to report.
While standing in the front hall, Oakham looked around the room. There were a lot of things in this small room, especially calligraphy and paintings, which were hung on the left and right walls. Among them, there was a painting hanging on the left wall.
Although he couldn't quite make out the words Ocme on both sides of the painting of a lady, he could see the painting clearly.
Although it is not a realistic style like sketching, the beauty of this artistic conception actually makes the people in the painting more spiritual.
While watching, a girl dressed in black came to the front hall.
Oakham looked back, his heart was shocked, and he thought to himself, 'How could it be her...'
The girl's face was cold and expressionless. When she saw Oakham, she said, "Come with me."
Oakham cleared his throat, straightened his clothes and followed.
Passing through the front hall, we arrived at the yard behind the small building. There were many bamboos here, and the overall style was completely different from the front yard, making it more elegant.
There is a small pavilion deep in the bamboo forest. There are three people sitting in the pavilion, two men and one woman.
The man wore a black and white martial arts style robe, and the woman wore a light blue cheongsam. All three of them wore masks and ornaments on their heads. One man and one woman wore pale mask ornaments, and the one sitting in the middle wore a gray-brown mask.
The three of them were sitting around the blue-black stone table in the pavilion.
After entering the pavilion, Oakham found a page of silk book lying on the stone table. The text on it was already mottled and unclear. He didn't know what the three people were reading so absorbedly.
"Sir, he's here." The woman who led the way said respectfully.
The man sitting in the middle raised his head slightly, and when he opened his eyes, there was a hint of red gold in the dark pupils, revealing a sinister aura.
Although Oakham had heard that these people were extremely scary, he didn't expect that just standing here would make it difficult to breathe...
"Well..." The man called sir only responded, but there was no follow-up.
Oakham didn't dare to speak either.
After a long time, the woman on the left side of Oakham said, "This time things were done so-so, but at last there was no big trouble, so you don't have to worry too much. What was promised to you will be given to you naturally."
,only……"
only……
Oakham swallowed subconsciously.
The man opposite the woman continued, "It's just that the matter has a sequel. We hope that you can continue to fulfill the contract until the matter ends satisfactorily."
Oakham was shocked when he heard this. He came today to put an end to all of this... However, things were far from as simple as Oakham thought...
Although he himself had already guessed that dealing with these people was not as straightforward as the previous transactions, but now that he was getting deeper and deeper, Oakham realized the seriousness of the problem.
Seemingly sensing Oakham's hesitation, the woman asked, "Are you a little overwhelmed?"
Oakham had already broken down in a cold sweat. He smiled bitterly and said, "Well... although the Arbiter thinks I'm dead now... their investigation work is not over yet... If I continue, it may lead to more troubles."
Big trouble."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "Are you worried about us?"
Oakham grinned, "Uh...yes...oh no...it's us. I want a happy ending too, right?"
The woman understood and looked at the gentleman who was always silent.
The gentleman's attention was still focused on the silk book on the stone table. When the woman looked over, he slightly raised his head and glanced at Oakham.
Although it was just a glance, Oakham felt that all his secrets were clearly seen by the other party.
This man with an astonishing appearance made Oakham both scared and inexplicably feel admiration... That feeling was very strange... very strange... but he couldn't tell what was strange...
Oakham searched for words in his mind and finally settled on three words...that is, all of this feels so unnatural.
It was like being forced on Oakham's cerebral cortex, but he couldn't resist.
"Are you scared?" the gentleman finally said.
Oakham nodded subconsciously.
The gentleman smiled, very short and cold.
"It's okay, go ahead and get what we agreed upon, and then... you will be free." The gentleman's voice was very soft, but it had an irreversible sense of oppression.
Oakham nodded again. Although he was resisting in his heart, these words of the gentleman had taken root in his heart, and he had realized that he could not refuse.
"Okay, I will arrange it carefully."
The gentleman nodded slightly, and then said, "Don't be afraid, Li Yuan will go with you."
Oakham was shocked when he heard this, as if he suddenly woke up.
He looked at the woman in black next to him. This woman named Li Yuan still had no expression on her face. After receiving the order from her husband, she only responded calmly, "Yes, sir."
"Well...I'm tired. You can step back."
Li Yuan bowed respectfully, then walked backwards and left the pavilion.
Oakham also imitated Li Yuan's behavior, bowed and hurried out.
When passing through the front hall, Li Yuan stopped Oakham, "Wait a minute, Miss Fangwei has something to say to you."
Fowler Oakham was stunned, and he stood still.
After a while, the woman in cheongsam came to the front hall. When she saw Oakham, she said softly, "Lan Gu has already settled your family. Not only have they left the camp, they are also with Percival."
Once you obtain legal citizenship, when things here are over, you can reunite with your family and stay away from right and wrong."
Oakham was stunned for a moment, then said gratefully, "Thank you."
Fuwei smiled, "But the follow-up work is not that easy. You must always remember that if you make a mistake, it will not harm your own interests. Do you understand what I mean?"
Oakham's face straightened, "I understand, Miss Xie Fuwei reminds me."
Fuwei nodded, "Well, this is not the first time that you and Li Yuan have partnered. I hope you can ignore the past grudges and complete the tasks assigned by your husband as soon as possible."
"yes!"
…
Seeing Ockham leading the people away, Jin Yuan started to murmur in his heart.
First of all, he didn't know the purpose of Oakham's coming here today. At least from the conversation between them, Jin Yuan didn't hear any specific content. He only knew that Oakham would continue to take actions, and there would be more this time.
I got a helper named Li Yuan.
As for the other...the identities and purposes of those three people, Jin Yuan had no idea at all.
However, after some thinking, Jin Yuan was not ready to alert the snake. He planned to continue to follow Oakham and his party until he found out the ins and outs of the incident. At the same time, he also had an additional helper, a blond man sent to him by Xia Yiyi and Minnie.
Beauty Xing Mengmeng.
When he first met Xing Mengmeng, Jin Yuan felt "rejected" in his heart.
Because this girl looked too hot, not like Xia Yiyi's "cold style" at all, which made people uninterested.
Furthermore, this girl is not an arbiter, and she rarely participates in tracking and investigation tasks. Therefore, even though Kanehara has no resistance to beautiful women, his principles are still very clear in the face of major events, so he expressed to Minnie "
reject".
However, the answer was yes.
"I did not send Mengmeng to you so that she would suffer hardships with you, and she will not directly participate in your reconnaissance operations. However, as a backup, Mengmeng alone is worth a special operations company!"
One person is an army?
Kanehara didn't believe it at all...but after all, Minnie was several levels higher than him, so Kanehara had no choice but to accept it.
…
While Jin Yuan was busy investigating, the lovers Zhang Yu and Ying Zi were enjoying dinner under the stars.
As the leading top catering giant in Eruben, "Sike" is not only able to calmly accept various large-scale banquets arranged by the highest management level, but also achieves the ultimate in "small-scale" catering innovation and service.
An independent starry sky dome, a real man-made ocean, a luxurious classical band lineup and top singers specially recruited for distinguished customers, combined with various formats, there is no delicious food that you can't think of...
The atmosphere created by such a dinner can be said to be extremely refined and luxurious!
To book such a meal, you not only need a large amount of money, but also a matching identity.
It stands to reason that with Zhang Yu's current income, paying 150,000 ceans for a meal is a bit extravagant, but it is still acceptable...but his identity did not meet the predetermined standards.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu is a "connected person". With his relationship with Lulu, he can show off to Aaliya through Lulu.
You can really have as much as you want at a dinner like this!
Of course, Zhang Yu was shameless and fought for it with great difficulty. Unlike Jin Yuan, he would regard the property of the Lusteven family as his own back garden.
After the dinner, you can watch a sea ballet performance.
The classic play "Swan Lake" was adapted by the artist and moved to the sea.
With the help of advanced equipment and grand scenes, the audience is presented with an unforgettable visual feast!
Zhang Yu and Yingzi didn't return home until late at night.
arrive
When we got home, Yingzi was barefoot and took Zhang Yu's hand around to the grass behind the house.
Although the environment here is not as luxurious as that in "Sike".
But the atmosphere between them was pushed to the extreme.
The couple, immersed in their world, kissed and lingered on the grass until the night wind brought drizzle, and the two returned to the room with a smile.
After taking a bath and wrapping herself in a blanket, Yingzi leaned into Zhang Yu's arms and said, "It would be great if it could always be like this..."
Zhang Yu didn't say anything. He hugged Yingzi tightly, closed his eyes, and enjoyed every minute and every second.
After a long time, Zhang Yu suddenly felt wet in his heart. He looked down and found that Yingzi was crying.
Zhang Yu became nervous, "What's wrong Yingzi? Why are you crying suddenly?"
Yingzi hurriedly wiped away her tears, hugged Neng Yu and said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Zhang Yuyi frowned: "Why do you need to apologize?"
Yingzi trembled and said, "Actually, you have known this for a long time...right...you have known for a long time that it is impossible for me to voluntarily join the Arbiter due to my life experience, right..."
When it comes to Zhang Yu, I understand.
Indeed... the first meeting between Zhang Yu and Ying Zi seemed to be a meeting between a patient and a doctor, but it was actually a deliberate arrangement by Li Bo'an.
And after Zhang Yu's contact with Yingzi gradually deepened, Li Bo'an went to Zhang Yu alone and told him Yingzi's life experience.
Zhang Yu was indeed shocked at the time...and hesitated whether to continue this relationship.
Especially after Li Boan arranged a "surveillance" task for him, Zhang Yu always felt that it was no longer possible to have a pure emotional sublimation between himself and Yingzi... The rift between them had already appeared, and with this mutual interaction,
Conceal and guard against and continue to expand.
But later... as the contact time became longer and longer, Zhang Yu found that he seemed to be unable to leave the girl in front of him.
Although she is a psychiatrist, it is impossible for Zhang Yu's little thoughts to escape her eyes.
But she was willing to be a "silly girl" with Zhang Yu. She could clearly see that Zhang Yu was guarding her, but she stayed with him quietly.
As time passed, Zhang Yu slowly opened herself up to Yingzi during treatment, and the understanding between the two deepened.
At this time, Zhang Yu thought of Yingzi's life experience again, and her first feeling was no longer vigilance, but pity...
"I know..." Zhang Yu hugged Yingzi tightly and said, "I've known it for a long time...but I don't care..."
Yingzi trembled when she heard the words. She looked at Zhang Yu, and after a while she started to break away: "No... no... this is not fair to you... I will hurt you! I don't deserve to be with you at all!"
"
However, Zhang Yu did not let go. He had never been so domineering as he was today.
He asked, "What will you harm me? Just because you are Qin Qing's daughter? Just because your mother is a 'disciple'? You have the blood of a 'disciple' flowing in your body? Do you think if I really care about this, or
Say, we arbiters care about this, will we be together like today? Huh? Do you think my love for you is all fake? I have never loved you?!"
Yingzi was stopped by the question and fell silent.
Zhang Yu gave her time to relax, then gently took her into his arms and said, "Maybe you are right... but you shouldn't say that you are not worthy of me... In fact, when you were helping those 'disciples', I once
What you did was reported to Brother An, but do you know what Brother An said to me later?"
Yingzi actually knows this too. The deeper the contact between her and Zhang Yu, the less likely it is that there will be perfect deception.
It's just that both of them chose to turn a blind eye.
"He said...he has always wondered over the years...can the 'disciples' really be completely eliminated...or...is this hatred and shame mark towards the 'disciples' rooted in the 'disciples'?"
body, or is it rooted in the hearts of us so-called arbiters?"
Yingzi slowly raised her head when she heard this, her eyes were a little confused and a little unbelievable.
She trembled, "He...really said that?"
Zhang Yu nodded, "Yes, but I didn't understand it at the time...it wasn't until I told Jin Yuan later...then Jin Yuan gave me an example, and only then did I understand what Brother An meant."
When Sakurako heard that Kanehara also knew these things, her face became slightly hot, but she was more curious about what the example was, so she asked, "Kanahara...he...what did he say."
Zhang Yu said, "When Jin Yuan heard what I said, he asked me first, if the girl you like was raped, would you be able to remove the connection in your heart and accept her as always?"
Yingzi was startled when she heard this, then frowned and said, "This... what kind of problem is this..."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "It's just an example. Please listen to me first."
Yingzi frowned and curled her lips, but still hummed obediently.
"Actually, my reaction at that time was similar to yours... And even though there was clearly a premise of what-if, my heart still felt like a thorn in my heart, and I couldn't ignore it... But then Kanehara said..."
…
"Girls are bullied and raped. Rapists are shameful and will be put in jail...but the problem doesn't seem to end there...Obviously they are victims, but the bullied girls seem to have become worse all their lives.
'Unclean'... People will think this is shameful... and will even impose this shame on this bullied girl... But have they ever thought... This girl's shame is not in her own body?
On, and in everyone's heart! So, it is those who see this girl with strange eyes who should feel shame, not this girl!"
