60: C60 Assassination

C60 Assassination

Qi Bei moved very quickly. He immediately set up a seat for the two of them at Edamame.

When the time came, they would receive a warm welcome from the waiter.

Standing beside Su Xiaoxiao, Qi Jincheng had no expression on his face.

He rarely came to the Edamame restaurant.

Because there were no private rooms here, all customers needed to eat in the public restaurant.

In the huge dining hall, all the tables and chairs were arranged around the wall. There was only an antique screen used to cover things.

In the center of the dining hall, there was a beautiful piano. A performer wearing a tuxedo was currently playing a gentle tune in an intoxicated manner.

There were not many customers in the dining hall. During the meal, some people were whispering to each other.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and high class. Su Xiaoxiao was not used to it.

She quietly stood beside Qi Jincheng. Because she was nervous, she grabbed his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao was not used to this kind of atmosphere.

Qi Jincheng noticed the unusual behavior of the people around him. He pulled Su Xiaoxiao along with the waiter and came to the hidden corner that they had booked beforehand.

The screen separated the table into a small space, forming a clear and distinct corner from the outside world.

Only then did Su Xiaoxiao relax a little.

She looked into the distance and her gaze swept across the hall. The intoxicated performer swept a glance before quickly withdrawing.

"Beautiful big brother, this place is so quiet!"

Su Xiaoxiao used her hands to cover the corner of her mouth and tried to lower her voice to communicate with Qi Jincheng.

At this time, the waiter moved the screen away a little and pushed a beautiful and heavy menu in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

In his view, a normal man and woman who came together should order their dishes first.

But seeing the heavy menu in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with confusion.

She looked at Qi Jincheng for help, not understanding why this young lady had placed a book in front of her.

Qi Jincheng closed the menu and pushed it back to the waiter. He ordered in a low voice, "Serve a few specialties and bring one serving of all the desserts."

In Qi Jincheng's opinion, bringing Su Xiaoxiao here to eat these was just to try the freshness.

He had never thought of letting Su Xiaoxiao finish eating.

The waiter glanced at Su Xiaoxiao without batting an eyelid and silently took the menu away.

Before he left, he even carefully pushed the screen back to its original place.

When there were only the two of them left in the small space, Su Xiaoxiao approached Qi Jincheng and pointed at the piano in the middle and asked, "Beautiful brother, this big box can make sounds. Listen carefully."

Qi Jincheng followed her gaze and only then did he realize that the "big box" Su Xiaoxiao spoke of was referring to the piano.

"This is the piano."

Qi Jincheng gently tapped his finger on the table and corrected her.

But it could be seen that Su Xiaoxiao did not care about its name.

"That pretty big brother, will you also be like that person?"

Su Xiaoxiao had a look of anticipation.

Qi Jincheng frowned and automatically ignored the verb in her mouth.

But her words still woke up a part of his childhood memories.

His mother was a well-known daughter of a rich family. She had received a good education since childhood and played a good song.

And Qi Jincheng's piano was taught by her mother.

However, he did not want to touch the piano anymore.

He didn't want to bring up that memory.

In Qi Jincheng's eyes, that memory now had a grey filter.

Although that time was beautiful, it was too cruel when compared to the cruelty of the present.

He shook his head lightly as a form of denial.

Qi Jincheng's thoughts were attracted by the past, so he did not notice that Su Xiaoxiao had already exposed his lie through observing his expression.

The sadness in his eyes was too obvious. He seemed to be certain that Su Xiaoxiao could not see through it and did not hide it anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to see through Qi Jincheng's lie and revealed a disappointed look.

The waiter brought drinks and pastries.

Su Xiaoxiao was attracted by the food and quickly forgot about this interlude.

She pushed two pastries that did not look very bright in front of Qi Jincheng. "Xiaoxiao is going to eat!"

Su Xiaoxiao happily whispered. She held the spoon, dug a spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth.

Pastries and restaurants in western restaurants emphasized aesthetics, but the weight was very small.

After she swallowed it, the two pastries quickly disappeared.

Her eating style was not elegant, but fortunately, there was a screen covering her, so no one noticed.

Qi Jincheng only took a small bite symbolically before putting down the knife and fork.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was wolfing down food in front of him and frowned slightly. "Finish the food in your mouth and eat another piece."

Su Xiaoxiao immediately stopped stuffing. She chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed a piece. Her actions were indeed much slower.

At this time, Qi Jincheng's phone vibrated.

He looked at the caller ID, took the phone and walked out.

After Qi Jincheng left his seat, Su Xiaoxiao stopped swallowing.

She looked at Qi Jincheng's back as he strode away, tilting her head to observe.

When she just picked up the piano, at that moment, his expression was melancholic and gave people a feeling of heartache.

If it wasn't for reason, Su Xiaoxiao would have pulled him into her embrace and gently patted his back to coax him.1

Qi Jincheng himself was like Pandora's Treasure Box.

Although it looked unfathomable on the outside, as long as you opened the box, you would find that there were actually many treasures inside that you couldn't imagine.

The more new discoveries she made, the more Su Xiaoxiao wanted to dig deeper.

At the end, she wanted to see what was hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

Would he be so weak that he could not even withstand a single blow?

...

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jincheng did not immediately return.

He went to the depths of the corridor, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.

Just now, Bai Han received a message.

The hacker who wanted to invade them that day, under their layers of nets, escaped.

After obtaining the location that day, Bai Han immediately spread out the address. When the three forces rushed over without stopping, he had already escaped.

But because of the panic, he left behind some clues.

Everyone followed these clues and started searching for him. However, just now, the clues had still been cut off.

Qi Jincheng smoked very quickly. In the blink of an eye, only half of his cigarette was left.

He narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.

Downstairs was the back garden of the restaurant, and there were two or three customers holding hands and walking around.

There were also people sitting on the bench in the garden, staring into the distance in a daze.

But suddenly, Qi Jincheng stopped moving.

Because he noticed that from afar, a red dot was shooting straight towards him.

The red dot landed right between his eyebrows.

Qi Jincheng pretended to be sizing him up. He moved his feet slightly and the red dot immediately caught up with him.

It was also accurately fixed between his eyebrows.

His expression turned cold. He threw the cigarette butt away and leaned against the wall.

The moment he moved, a slight sound of friction was heard. Something rubbed against his forehead and directly shot into the carpet behind him.

He looked down and found that the originally clean carpet had an extra round dot that was neither too big nor too small.

A bullet that reflected silver light was deeply inserted.
