001

There is a mountainous area ten kilometers away from downtown Jiangcheng called Phoenix Mountain.

Phoenix Mountain is located in an inconspicuous small town in the northernmost part of Jiangcheng, facing south. From the map, it looks like a phoenix flying high.

People have fabricated many legendary stories about Phoenix Mountain, but they only add a strong mysterious color to Phoenix Mountain.

The most famous scenery on Phoenix Mountain is located on its mountainside, the villa with unique decoration - Jinding Garden.

The garden was built in the 90s of the last century. It is old. It has been swaying in the wind and rain for [-] years, but it can still stand in the mountains. What is the reason?

It is precisely because of the location of this Phoenix Mountain that it runs right through between Jiangcheng and the neighboring city. As one of the most important roads leading to the neighboring city, Phoenix Mountain attracts tens of thousands of tourists every year.

As the most famous villa on Phoenix Mountain, Jinding Garden has always been talked about by people.

This is a favorite place for rich people in Jiangcheng. At night, the lights are bright, the clothes are fragrant, and the towering golden buildings rise from the ground. Looking from a distance, it looks like the Milky Way descending from the sky.

Late at night in November, Jinding Garden is still a bustling and prosperous scene.

There is a huge open-air swimming pool in the garden. At this moment, a group of sexy girls in bikinis come and go by the pool.Some people are holding goblets in their hands, chatting and laughing with others; some people are smiling at a middle-aged man dressed like a dog, and expressing affection; what's more, they have found their "prey" and grabbed each other tie, walked slowly towards the box in the garden...

There was a whole row of security personnel in suits and leather shoes standing outside the swimming pool, wearing thick sunglasses, all of them looked expressionless, as if they were quite accustomed to the scene in front of them.

A small dark gray car was parked quietly on a small hill a few hundred meters outside the garden.

The front windshield of the car was tightly pasted by newspapers, except for the lift glass on both sides with a thin gap, exposing two pieces of reflective glass lenses.

"I.fuck! What a f*ck! The person sitting in the driver's seat sighed, licking his tongue from time to time, "Brother Meng...is this what they said...sea.sky.sheng.yan? ?”

Lu Mengxin sat on the co-pilot's seat, didn't answer him, and just reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, "Don't be dazed, don't forget what we're here tonight!"

The person in the driver's seat was named Chen Fei, who was two years younger than Lu Mengxin. He had just entered this industry not long ago, and he was not as experienced and professional as Lu Mengxin in terms of professionalism.

As soon as he felt the pain, he put down the binoculars and grinned and rubbed the painful place, "Hiss—Meng Ge, you are so ruthless!"

Lu Mengxin snatched the binoculars from his arms, and looked towards the direction of the flower garden, "Don't be cruel to you, cheer up... Boss wants us two to complete this task, if we don't do it well, you and I will bother." I can't pay the difference!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Fade Chen became interested, and approached him with a childish face and asked him, "Brother Meng, you said that Yan Jiashan...will he really appear?" Fade Chen thought to himself After a while, he laughed again: "In case we really got some breaking news tonight, hehe... Yan Jiashan's national boyfriend's image is just..."

Lu Mengxin put down the binoculars, looked back at his face full of gossip, and sighed: "You...you will understand everything after you have been in this business for two more years." He educated Fade Chen in the tone of someone who has experienced it: " What kind of national boyfriend is an illusion packaged by the brokerage company for fans. Behind the scenes... I don't know what kind of dirty it is."

The two chatted a few more words on this topic, trying to get rid of sleepiness.

The night gradually deepened, and at three o'clock in the morning, the swimsuit party in the garden was finally coming to an end.

Lu Mengxin was still lying on the seat, looking inward through the binoculars, while Fade Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't resist the drowsiness, and fell asleep on the side with his head up.

Occasionally, there was a strange sound in the night sky, like the sound of a bird flapping its wings, or the low cry of some kind of animal.

When Lu Mengxin heard the movement, she immediately held her breath and put down the binoculars in her hand to listen.

Not long after, the sound of car tires being crushed on the gravel road was heard from the winding mountain road. Lu Mengxin was shocked, and immediately woke up the people beside him, "Get up, get to work!"

Fade Chen woke up almost immediately, wiped his face, and immediately went to work, picked up the binoculars in his arms, and took a closer look.

Not long after, a silver Phaeton came into their field of vision.

The car moved slowly on the winding mountain road, with a very clear purpose, and stopped at the gate of Jinding Garden after a while.

The staff of the villa went out to inquire, and after confirmation, they opened the gate and let them go.

Lu Mengxin watched the car drive into the villa, he didn't dare to act rashly, he only said to the people on the side: "Tear up the newspaper, let's drive over slowly, find a hidden place to park. Be careful...don't allow anyone to find out."

After hearing this, Fade Chen stretched out his hand and tore off the newspaper on the windshield, "Okay...Leave this trivial matter to me."

In the darkness, the car moved forward slowly, and found a place to stop in front of a bush tens of meters away from Jinding Garden.

"Just stop here." Lu Mengxin gave an order, "Our equipment is only enough to shoot within a few meters, no matter how far away...the pictures will be blurred, it's ok...don't move too far."

Fade Chen parked the car, took out the equipment from the back seat, handed it to Lu Mengxin, and then asked, "Brother Meng, you're starting to shoot now? Then what am I doing?"

Lu Mengxin glanced at him, "Help me look at the surrounding situation, this place has already entered the monitoring range of the outer wall of the villa, if something goes wrong... let's withdraw immediately!"

Fade Chen nodded hurriedly, "It's that simple? OK, leave it to me!"

Lu Mengxin took the camera he handed over, changed the lens, adjusted the focus, then lowered the car window, and pointed the digital camera at the miniature high-definition telescope installed in the car.

The camera swayed left and right for a few seconds, and finally found the target, gradually locked on and followed up.

In the picture is the window on the south side of a box. The window was closed tightly from the inside, but the curtains were not drawn tightly.

Under the magnification of the high-definition camera, two embracing bodies can be seen faintly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mengxin's temples throbbed, his palms couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, and his heart beat like a drum.

It was a worthwhile trip tonight.

Not long after, the man with his back to the camera turned his head sideways, revealing a beautifully shaped neck.

Lu Mengbin watched in a daze for a moment, then unconsciously frowned, a trace of hesitation flashed in his heart.

He looked down again, and gradually, the owner of the neck turned around completely, facing the camera and showing his face...

Lu Mengxin didn't dare to delay for a moment, quickly pressed the button with his index finger, only to hear the continuous "click, click, click" in his ears.

At the same time, the person in the camera seemed to sense something was wrong, opened the curtains and looked out, and saw the car hiding under the shadow of the tree with a single glance, and the flash lights were on in the dark night!

"What are you doing——" Lu Mengxin reacted immediately, grabbed the camera from the opponent's hand, and said angrily, "When did I let you take pictures!"

Fade Chen was also taken aback by his own stupidity, unexpectedly he forgot to turn off the flashlight!

"What, what should I do, Brother Meng!" Thinking of the tall figure of the man in the camera, although he didn't see his face clearly, it is conceivable that they will definitely fail this mission!

Almost at the same time, Lu Mengxin heard the footsteps of a group of people in the villa, agile and fast.

He finally exhausted his patience, and shouted out with a deep voice: "What are you doing standing there, run away!"

When the car started, Fade Chen used both hands and feet, and immediately pulled off the handbrake to drive away.

Almost at the same time, the gate of the villa was opened, and a group of men in black rushed out from the inside. A group of people wearing sunglasses ran towards them with a rage, and the leader waved his hand. He greeted the people behind him, "They are here, let's chase—"

Lu Mengxin heard someone chasing after him, but Fade Chen seemed to be on the verge of losing his brain, his hands and feet were shaking all the time, and his face was also frightened and disturbed, "Meng, Brother Meng... Where are we going..."

Lu Mengxin turned his head and took a look, the group of people were getting closer and closer, his heart was hardened, "Go... up the mountain road!"

The car roared, and Fade Chen stepped on the accelerator hard, and drove towards the winding mountain road.

In the dark night, the car shuttled on the mountain path intertwined with jungle and branches, speeding forward aimlessly.

The group of people chasing the car were full of energy and ran faster and faster in the direction they were going.

A chill ran down Lu Mengxin's back, and she was even more panicked. In this barren mountain, if someone caught her... I don't know what will happen!

Really should!It's all his fault that he didn't like Chen Fei, which made his hands itch, and made such a low-level mistake.

Just when Lu Mengxin was deep in useless remorse, the person in the driver's seat hurriedly turned the steering wheel, and his whole body stuck to the glass window on one side, almost being thrown out!

"Drive carefully!" Lu Mengxin tried to calm down, and after figuring out the situation, he gave an order, "The mountain road ahead is steeper, you should downshift!"

It's a pity that it was too late. Fade Chen was really frightened. Before he let go of the gas pedal, the car swayed and hit the falling rock on the side of the mountain.

Lu Mengxin slammed forward fiercely, his forehead almost hit the glass window, and at the same time, the seat belt on his body pulled him back.

In the next second, the airbag opened with a "puff -" and the two of them were pushed back to their positions heavily.

It only took Lu Mengxin half a second to wake up. After regaining his composure, he hurriedly opened the car door and told the people on the side: "Bring on your equipment and take the mountain road!"

Fade Chen was dazed by the airbag. Hearing Lu Mengxin's words, it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He picked up his camera bag and rushed towards the mountain road.

The two of them were crawling and rolling in the night on the steep mountain road, during which Lu Mengxin accidentally stepped on a rock and sprained his foot, and Fade Chen's face was scratched by a tree branch hidden in the jungle.

Just after their near-death run, the voices of the group could still be heard from the mountains not far away, "Go... and search in the bushes, I don't believe they can escape from under their noses! "

As the sky gradually brightened, Lu Mengxin spent almost all the cash on his body, and managed to come back alive from a remote suburb like Phoenix Mountain.

Chen Fei, who was traveling with him, was not much better. He was in a mess, with wounds on his face, messy hair, and torn clothes and pants... This mission consumed almost all of his energy.

Holding the equipment and the machine, the two found a nearby breakfast shop and decided to fill their stomachs first.

Lu Mengxin ordered a bowl of hot soy milk for both of them. Seeing Fade Chen sitting in front of him looking tired, he couldn't bear it, so he ordered another fried dough stick for him.

The owner of the shop is an old lady. She was secretly happy to see people patronizing the business before dawn in the early morning, so she added a spoonful of sugar to their soy milk.

Lu Mengxin took a sip while it was hot, and felt her whole body came alive.

Fade Chen, who was sitting opposite him, was also devouring soy milk and biting fried dough sticks at this moment, with a contented look on his face.

After eating and drinking, Lu Mengxin finally remembered the serious business. He waved to Fade Chen, "Come...show me the camera."

Fade Chen handed the bag to him in response, and Lu Mengxin took it, and opened the bag to check.

Fortunately, the equipment is not lost, and it looks like it can still be used.

Lu Mengxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed the switch of the camera——

A man's face appeared in the wobbly frame.

Lu Mengxin's temples throbbed suddenly, and an inexplicable uneasiness suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

The man has an almost ascetic face, black eyebrows, sharp eyes, straight nose, thin lips tightly drawn into a line, and a firm chin... This is a completely unfamiliar face!

When Lu Mengxin reacted, the screen was cut off, and his other hand that was not holding the camera unconsciously clenched into a fist, cursing in a low voice: "Damn it!"
