Chapter 38 Jagged Tenderness (12)

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk too much, this time I can only suffer from being dumb, the national conditions are like this, and the rest can only retaliate at the right time.Five days later, the North and South governments still announced the failure of the "first peace talks" after countless times of wrangling, but there is no benevolence and justice in the business.On the eve of the departure of the two delegations, a ball was specially held at Paramount. The invitees were all dignitaries from various countries, in order to exchange relations and hope for the next cooperation.

The bustling scenery of Shiliyangchang, the flashy night dream of Huahai!

As night falls and the lights come on, the neon light is filled with music. In this turbulent and peaceful era of singing and dancing, Paramount undoubtedly symbolizes elegance and modernity. ArtDeco's architectural style is trendy and avant-garde, and the erratic and distinct jazz sounds smoothly. Tonight's Paramount is completely reserved. Anyone who gets out of the passing cars can cause shocks in Huabang.

With fragrant temples and beautiful shadows, singing and dancing gracefully, many people are already dancing in the center of the spacious dance floor.With a smile on her face, Jian Ming stared at these dignitaries and ladies boredly. Seeing Li Jincheng chatting happily with the French ambassador to China, she squinted her eyes, feeling quite drowsy.Although this kind of scene is lively and extravagant, it is still drifting away and losing the sense of belonging.

Sipping the champagne in her hand, she saw a waiter wearing a black tie walking straight in this direction out of the corner of her eye. She fixed her eyes and felt that she was coming towards her.Sure enough, the waiter walked up to her, said something respectfully, and looked in the direction he pointed, Jian Ming twitched slightly.

The lingering heroine, what are you going to do!
She subconsciously didn't want to go there, and in fact she did so. Feeling the gaze from that direction behind her, she couldn't help but sneer slightly. She was flattered to pay so much attention to her!
"What are you thinking about?" The gentle voice pierced through the noise and entered clearly. Jian Ming was slightly taken aback, only to realize that the envoy to China had left at some point.

"Are you bored?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Jincheng didn't care, and then said with a light smile, the slightly rising ending sound revealed some indescribable charm.

Jian Ming nodded in embarrassment, and then mentioned the matter of talent just now, she is now completely attached to Li Jincheng, and she is unwilling to hide anything related to the Jian family or the hero and heroine.Li Jincheng was obviously very pleased with her move, even the superficial smile became more sincere, he habitually squeezed his weak and boneless palms, he pursed his lips for a moment of thought, and attracted the adjutant beside him, He gave a low order.

"It's been a long time since the days of cleanliness. After all, this excitement has made people feel a little bit less interested. We'll leave early after a while." Pushing the wheelchair to the edge of the dance floor, he listened to Li Jincheng's gentle words.

A flash of astonishment flashed across Jian Ming's face, and she couldn't help being a little surprised: "I'm also one of the sponsors anyway, so it doesn't matter?"

"The relationships that should be communicated are also communicated, and the rest are irrelevant."

Li Jincheng rubbed the center of his brows, his expression showing a little tiredness, his body and bones were weaker than ordinary people, although he recuperated on time and improved somewhat in the past few months, his mental strength was eventually lacking.Looking at his appearance, Jian Ming's distressed expression flashed across his face. He pressed his fingers on his temples and gently rotated and pressed. Li Jincheng leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. His originally sharp facial features were quite soft now. .

When the two of them stepped out of Paramount, they exchanged glasses and exchanged cups inside, which was very lively.Although it is summer, the wind at night is mixed with cool air, and when it hits the face, it makes the whole person feel refreshed.The car had already been waiting outside, and the two sat in one after another. The neon lights on both sides were seen outside the window, bustling and blurred.

The car that was moving at a constant speed suddenly slammed on the brakes. Unprepared, Jian Ming leaned forward involuntarily. Li Jincheng gave her a hand, and then asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Young commander, there is a roadblock ahead, and there are several piles of rubble." The driver said with a frown, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Pressing the handle, the driver was about to open the door, but Li Jincheng stopped him: "Don't go out yet!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound, a big hole appeared in the car window, and then split into spider webs, Li Jincheng let out a soft cry, and covered his cheek with his left hand.Under the dim light, Jian Ming could clearly see a bloodstain streaking across and oozing blood, which was the trace of a bullet. It has to be said that it was luck that he was not hit.

"It's a sniper rifle, get out of the car first."

Li Jincheng said in a deep voice, then he opened the car door close to Jian Ming abruptly, the two rolled out of the car hugging each other, and rolled over on the ground a few more times.The fine stones rubbed against the skin, causing bursts of stinging pain, the choking dust covered the whole body, and the originally decent hairstyle was in a mess, but at this moment, neither of them paid attention to it.

"Pfft, puff..."

A series of bullets narrowly passed by and hit the ground. Li Jincheng pulled Jian Ming and quickly ran to the door of a shop next to him. The unpacked low wooden cabinet just served as a cover.The cars behind them stopped one after another at this time, and the soldiers in charge of protection walked out quickly, each looking for cover, and then frequent gunshots rang out, and after a few breaths, the street returned to calm again, leaving only a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

Jian Ming subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that there were enough people with him today, but Li Jincheng, who was squatting beside him, was holding a pistol tightly, his face was cold and his nerves were still tense.An ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she didn't dare to have any unnecessary actions. The street was silent, and the silence was a little scary, like a cemetery without people, only ghosts wandering around.

"Boom...boom..."

"Get down!"

After the crisp and ear-piercing gunshots, there was a burst of violent explosions, accompanied by Li Jincheng's low growl, ringing in his ears frequently.The orange flames shone through the surroundings, tinnitus kept ringing, Jian Ming felt a little deaf, she could clearly feel that the body pressing down on her was slightly stiff.The astringency in her heart could not be erased, fear and fear quickly grew, and a sense of panic lingered in her whole body.

"Jincheng..." She trembled and whispered, with her hands clasped around her back, her tone filled with unspeakable pleading and panic.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before a weak voice came from above: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."

The tone was obviously fragile, and the slippery palm of her hand confirmed her inner guess. Just as Jian Ming was about to say something, she heard the sound of messy footsteps mixed with scattered gunshots coming from far and near.Naturally, Li Jincheng also heard the somewhat abrupt sound. Holding the pistol, he slowly rolled over, his eyes full of bloody killing intent.

The wooden cabinet used as a cover was dilapidated at this time, through the gap, Jian Ming could see that several cars had no bones left.The flames were blazing and tended to spread. Most of the soldiers brought along hid away and suffered only minor injuries, while a small number of soldiers were seriously injured or died.

These are not the key points. From what she could see, Jian Ming panicked to see a large number of people in dark clothes walking slowly towards both sides of the street holding guns and knives.The imposing manner was fierce, and there was an undisguised killing intent on his face. Obviously, he came prepared.

With bitterness in his eyes, Jian Ming secretly sighed, could it be that he is going to die here today! ?
 Cough, Paramount should have actually appeared in the 30s, and this place has been brought forward, please don’t be serious, readers (?-ω-`)
