, but fell asleep on the sofa. On the dining table in the living room was a plate of cold egg fried rice, wrapped in plastic wrap, with spoons and chopsticks neatly placed on both sides.
Xi Ran threw the key into the storage basket on the shoe cabinet, and then put the egg fried rice into the microwave.
While the meal was heating up, he walked to the sofa, sat on the floor mat with his elbows propped on the edge of the sofa, and looked at Jiang Yan's face with his chin resting on his cheek.
Jiang Yan's demeanor is very upright, he never beat around the bush when he speaks or does anything, and his emotions are basically written on his face.
Xi Ran looked at Jiang Yan's sleeping face, and carefully fell asleep on his chest.
The ding of the microwave awakened Jiang Yan from his sleep.
He opened his eyes and saw Xi Ran, spread his palms over his head and rubbed gently.
"are you tired?"
Xi Ran hugged his waist and said with a smile, "I'm too tired to lift my hands."
"Then I'll feed you, and you go to bed after eating."
Xi Ran was amused by him, laughed so much that he couldn't help but asked, "Then what about taking a bath?"
Jiang Yan said seriously: "I'll wash it for you."
Xi Ran took a deep breath and said slowly, "Stop making trouble, I'm going to eat."
The next day, Xi Ran went to discuss with the person in charge of the other party, and the other party proposed to try the security system first.
This is a normal project process. After the exhibition location is determined, security facilities can be arranged and then tested. Even if the other party does not make such a request, they will take the initiative to conduct internal testing.
The location of the exhibition is tentatively set at a five-star hotel near Chengxin Park. The environment of that generation is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, and it is far away from commercial streets and residential areas. Apart from a primary school, there are only a few government buildings and some scattered buildings nearby. small shop.
The hotel is seventeen floors high, and their exhibition hall is on the top floor, with a tight security system. Many exhibitions have been held in this hotel in the past.
The person in charge of the Huo Group is called Sun Lishan, in his 30s, a jewelry expert. In the early years when the Huo Group was not developed, he had already followed the Huo Group's big boss. This time the jewelry exhibition is a global tour, and the Huo Group sent him to come forward It also just shows the importance of this exhibition.
There are two sets of security systems. Sun Lishan's own set is in charge of the interior of the exhibition hall, and Jincheng Group is in charge of the rest of the hotel. Once the jewelry is stolen or damaged, both parties are jointly responsible, so the security test is actually two-way. It is compulsory to test Sun Lishan's security system.
The test time is set at [-]:[-] pm. Except for the plastic model in the glass cabinet, the rest includes the lighting, room temperature, and the carpet in the room. Everything must be exactly the same as the day of the exhibition.
At 500:100, the doors on both sides of the exhibition hall, which can accommodate [-] people, were opened. On the day of the real exhibition, only [-] guests got admission tickets. The view of the entire exhibition hall can be said to be very wide.
The place where Xi Ran was standing was close to the window, and there was no foothold outside the window. The exhibition hall was already on the top floor, and there would be guards on the roof at that time. Unless the other party flew a helicopter, it would be impossible to enter and exit through the window.
Xi Ran also took over several calligraphy and painting exhibitions, but only this time the security measures were directly raised by several levels.
In addition to security issues, all the details of the exhibition layout, publicity, and invitation letters must be confirmed one by one by Xi Ran.
He has barely closed his eyes for the past few days, and Jiang Yan always drives him to and from get off work.
It was only in the car that the two of them had time to stick together for a while.
The test was carried out step by step. Sun Lishan was very experienced, but Xi Ran seemed a bit amateur in comparison. He stood aside with a walkie-talkie, watching everything that happened in the room intently.
Sun Lishan walked towards him with a smile. He was wearing a meticulous suit, with a confident smile on his face.
"Director Xi, don't be too nervous. We are very experienced in this kind of exhibition, and we have a foolproof method." His tone was a little mysterious, he wanted to show off, but he was afraid of revealing his cards.
Xi Ran chuckled, as long as the Ye Mingzhu and jewels are not lost, it doesn't matter what you can do.
Sun Lishan also said: "Director Xi is not very old, so he has received the attention of the boss, and the future will definitely be limitless."
"Mr. Sun was joking, Xi is just a part-time worker, and there is no future to talk about."
"Director Xi, don't underestimate yourself. I can see that your future is not in Jincheng Group. Are you interested in coming to our Huo's headquarters?" Sun Lishan looked at him ambiguously, and raised his palm to put it on his shoulder, but he hadn't touched it yet. Xi Ran's clothes suddenly slipped under his feet, and he fell on his back.
Xi Ran amplified his voice solemnly and said: "Why is there water on the ground? Who is responsible! Come and deal with it. I don't want to see this happen the day after tomorrow."
Sun Lishan's fall didn't make much movement at first, but Xi Ran's voice attracted everyone's attention.
Sun Lishan was ashamed, got up with the help of his assistant, and gave Xi Ran a vicious look.
Xi Ran was really baffled, what does your wrestling have to do with me?You go to Jiang Yan!
Jiang Yan sat on the window sill and stared at Sun Lishan coldly. If he still wanted to get close to Xi Ran, he would take off his arm directly.
The exhibition was just around the corner, and Sun Lishan didn't want to cause trouble, and besides, he slipped and fell by himself, but that Xi Ran was too ignorant to even dare to laugh at him. Big, how the wind gusts.
Night Pearl ([-])
Jiang Shu moved into Guyao's villa in the world. He had inexhaustible meat and inexhaustible credit cards. From then on, the little rabbit lived a flamboyant life. Even when he went to work in a coffee shop, he felt full of vitality. Looks like a rabbit.
As soon as this month's salary was paid, Jiang Shu immediately took the money to Xi Ran's house and laughed at Jiang Yan as an unemployed person.
Take a dinner by the way.
I didn't see Xi Ran when I entered the door, but Jiang Yan was cooking quick-frozen dumplings wearing an apron.
Egg fried rice and quick-frozen dumplings are already his limit, and there is no more advanced cooking skills.
Jiang Shu threw a lot of money on the cooking table, raised his chin and said, "Look, I'm paid."
"Oh."
"Oh, what! What are you cooking that is unpalatable?"
"Go away, take the money away, and get out of my way."
Jiang Shu put away the money and said disdainfully, "You just envy me for having a stable job, do you have it?"
"No, do you want to eat? There is still a bag."
"Eat something to eat." Jiang Shu chick nodded like pecking at rice, and continued to speak proudly after nodding, "Why are you so thick-skinned, you just eat soft rice at someone's house without doing anything!"
Jiang Yan took the thermos box out of the cabinet and asked casually, "Why not?"
Jiang Shu sincerely envied: "Of course you are very kind, you guys are developing too fast."
Jiang Yan rarely talked to Jiang Shu about his thoughts, and he couldn't understand him when he did. But today, Jiang Yan suddenly wanted to say something. He watched the hot water in the pot start to boil, and gradually began to talk to himself. .
"In fact, I don't really understand. At first, the feeling was not strong, but it always existed like a long stream of water, as if we had been with each other for tens of thousands of years, not just as simple as love. I practiced in Penglai for a hundred years. It was just a blink of an eye, but the 18 years of separation seemed to have passed the rest of my life. I fell in love with him probably when he was still Ruan Xiqing. Whether it was Xi Ran or Ruan Xiqing, he always called I was moved, and then I realized that our fate is not only that, we have been together for a long time."
Jiang Shu looked at him silently, and when he finished speaking, he blurted out: "What does that have to do with your soft rice?"
Jiang Yan said with a dark face, "...get out of here after you finish eating the dumplings."
After the dumplings were cooked, Jiang Yan took the heat preservation box and left without waiting for Jiang Shu to finish eating.
Xi Ran didn't expect that Jiang Yan would come to deliver food to him, and he had already ordered Chinese food.
When Jiang Yan arrived, he was eating, and without thinking about it, he put the box lunch in his hand aside, and complained: "The takeaway is not nutritious at all, what did you bring me?"
Jiang Yan put the thermos box in front of him and said, "Quick-frozen dumplings are not nutritious either."
Xi Ran sighed, this idiot has no interest at all.
There were two bags of dumplings in total, one bag was eaten by Jiang Shu, and Jiang Yan didn't keep his portion, so he naturally picked up Xi Ran's half-eaten box lunch, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Seeing him eating the rest of his meal without hesitation, Xi Ran was annoyed and funny, and spooned a few dumplings for him one after another.
He didn't know whether to say whether Jiang Yan had a good temper or a bad temper. Sometimes he didn't get angry at all, and sometimes he made a bad face for a little thing, but fortunately, the two of them never got angry at the same point, and they never quarreled. .
Xi Ran kissed him on the cheek and said: "I haven't cooked for you for a long time. When this project is over, I will accompany you well."
Jiang Yan nodded, and said seriously: "It's been a long time since I made out."
Xi Ran kicked him dumbfounded: "Not serious."
*****
On the day of the jewelry exhibition, Xi Ran went to the venue very early, and after getting the venue ready, she sat on the sofa and waited quietly for the arrival of seven o'clock.
Xi Ran didn't feel nervous at all, but Huang Xiaobai beside him was taking deep breaths nervously.
He used to follow entertainment projects such as reader meeting and fan meeting. This was the first time he was talking to such a big project, not to mention the jewelry exhibition project itself, just being a guest was enough to make him dumbfounded.
Seeing that he was too nervous, Xi Ran pulled him up from the chair and rearranged his tie, "Don't be nervous, pay attention to details, maintain confidence, and relax."
Huang Xiaobai looked at him motionless, and said for no reason: "Director, you are so gentle."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone hit the back of his head, and he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who hit me? Hey, why is there no one?"
Xi Ran smiled: "You are too nervous, go out and see if there are any omissions."
"Okay director, I'll go right away."
Jiang Yan took Xi Ran's hand, and said unwillingly: "The brat is taking advantage of you."
"No, he's still a child."
The time was almost up, Xi Ran adjusted his appearance for the last time, and left the lounge.
Guests in suits and dresses entered the door one after another, and Jiang Yan stood with them admiring the so-called high-love jewelry, listening to their amazing words of praise.
He didn't quite understand the beauty of broken stones like this. His Qiankun bag was full of similar things. Jiang Shu liked to pick up such broken things when he was a rabbit. Put it in his den, and Jiang Yan had to hide it for him. Later, he became a human and didn't expect to go back. It is still in Jiang Yan's Qiankun bag.
Jiang Yan really didn't understand that no matter how beautiful a stone is, it is still a stone, and it is not as good as the ginseng that can be seen everywhere in Penglai, and no matter how common it is, it has medicinal value.
The exhibition cabinet that was surrounded by water could belong to the exhibition cabinet of Ye Mingzhu in the middle. Jiang Yan didn't intend to squeeze in to look at the two broken beads. He was going to find Xi Ran when he turned around and saw him talking to Sun Lishan in the corner. The two did not quarrel. Get up, but Jiang Yan can see that the face of the attendant is not very good-looking, he should be angry.
When Jiang Yan walked over, he heard Xi Ran lower his voice and say, "Let me tell you, since I am in charge of this project, then the final decision is made here. We confirmed all the details early on. If you decide to turn on the bright light now, you will Affecting the customer experience will also affect the reputation of the company! Shut it down for me immediately!"
Sun Lishan laughed, and said with a playful smile: "Don't be like this, what's there to be angry about such a small thing, it's just turning on one more light, what does it matter?"
"Don't forget, the focus of this exhibition is the luminous pearl, not the strong light!" Xi Ran didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, the act of turning off the light at this time seemed too abrupt, and not turning it off would affect the effect of the exhibition.
After thinking about it, Xi Ran asked the jewelry commentator to come on stage to speak, and asked the assistant to turn off the lights after checking the timing.
Sun Lishan sneered: "You will regret it."
Xi Ran put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at him coldly, raised his lips and said, "Xi will wait and see."
Just when the two men were at the point of their swords, a sticky and fishy smell suddenly wafted out of the exhibition hall, accompanied by a faint smell of burning.
Xi Ran's first reaction was that something was burning. At this moment, all the lights went out with a click, and the room was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Then there was the sound of glass breaking.
The guests screamed, and the guards at the door quickly blocked the door, looking nervously on guard.
Jiang Yan cast a spell to turn on the lights in the room.
The display case made of bulletproof glass was shattered into pieces, and the two night pearls inside were missing!
The lights in the corridor at the entrance were not turned off, and the guards had been standing there all along without seeing anyone going out. Xi Ran was sure that the person who made trouble just now was still in the exhibition hall.
Sun Lishan shouted anxiously: "No one is allowed to move, hurry up and call the police!"
Thieves who can break bulletproof glass and steal jewelry are usually not ordinary thieves. The guests in the banquet hall are almost all dignitaries and dignitaries, and they are all clamoring to leave.
Xi Ran was busy dealing with them, and at the same time, more importantly, was getting Ye Mingzhu back.
Jiang Yan sniffed the peculiar smell in the air carefully, he realized that something had mixed in, he slowed down his pace, and walked slowly past everyone.
While comforting the guests, Xi Ran had to deal with Sun Lishan's hysteria, so he took a moment to glance at Jiang Yan.
Behind Jiang Yan, a pair of eyes were staring at him closely, slowly turning his head as he moved.
To be precise, it was an old man wearing sunglasses, with gray hair, wearing a black suit and vest, but wearing a pair of tattered canvas shoes that didn't fit well.
Xi Ran suddenly realized that this old man could see Jiang Yan!
He handed over the guests to the assistant, left Sun Lishan who was still chattering, and quickly walked towards the old man.
Xi Ran stood still in front of him, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Sir, can you take off the sunglasses, the situation is urgent now, we need to verify the identity of the guest."
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, I'm afraid I'm going to scare you because I'm blind."
"Sir, you are joking. Since it is inconvenient for you to go out, can someone accompany you today?"
"The old man is blind and his heart is not blind. He can't see the road." He took off his glasses, and his wide eyelids drooped down, almost reaching his cheekbones, overlapping with his loose wrinkles, like a circle of swaying eyes. water waves.
The only place where the old man could put things was his trousers pocket, but when he withdrew his hand from the pocket, the pocket quickly flattened without any swelling.
Xi Ran hesitated, at this moment Jiang Yan noticed the situation here, and he yelled at this place: "Xi Ran be careful!"
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were as big as moon disks, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were completely white. Everyone in the room covered their noses and looked over.
Xi Ran's gaze focused on the old man's eyeballs, where there were clearly two lost night pearls!
What kind of monster is this, it actually stuffed Ye Mingzhu into its eye sockets!
Taking advantage of Xi Ran's stupor, the old man slapped Xi Ran on the shoulder, turned around and ran towards the door.
Jiang Yan showed his original shape, flew forward and hugged Xi Ran, nervously said: "Are you alright?"
Xi Ran covered his shoulders and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, you go and chase Ye Mingzhu, Ye Mingzhu is in his eye socket!"
Jiang Yan was stunned, seeing that Xi Ran was really fine, he let him go and chased after the old man.
The old man knocked away the two guards who were blocking him, opened the escape door and ran out.
Jiang Yan followed behind, and he came a little later, not knowing whether the old man was going up or down, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran upstairs.
The old man went up to the rooftop, and all the other guards except Jiang Yan chased him downstairs. Only Jiang Yan, the old man, and the two guards who were on duty were left on the rooftop.
The two guards only received a notice that Ye Mingzhu was lost, but they didn't know the specific situation. After seeing the old man and Jiang Yan, the two couldn't distinguish the situation and could only be on guard at the same time.
The old man gradually retreated to the edge of the roof, holding on to the railing with trembling hands, and said in a rustling voice: "I just want to return my own things, you boy, don't come here."
Jiang Yan frowned in confusion, he actually felt that the old man seemed to be afraid of him, he put aside the guessing in his mind, and said bluntly: "I can't give you the Ye Mingzhu, you return the pearl to me, and I will let you go."
"Impossible!" The old man leaned on the railing and leaped lightly, directly jumping off the roof.
Jiang Yan was more than ten meters away from him, and when he saw this, he ran towards the railing, jumped lightly, and then jumped down from the nineteenth floor.
The two guards were stunned and rubbed their eyes in unison.
Night Pearl ([-])
Jiang Yan chased after the old man's smell all the way, the old man moved very fast, dense dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness.
Jiang Yan chased all the way to the river, and as he got closer to the river, the surrounding wind gradually became bitter, and the fishy smell wafted around, as if it was everywhere.
It was pitch black in front of Jiang Yan, and he could only confirm the location by his voice.
A strange hand that was dripping water slowly approached him in the dark. The fingers were extremely thick and gray-blue, the nails were uneven, and viscous liquid was constantly dripping from the nails.
Jiang Yan suddenly smelled the burning smell, he turned around abruptly, and punched the sneak attacking monster behind him.
The monster flashed fast, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Yan clenched his fists and let out a roar. The roar was thick and powerful, and a strong wind suddenly rose by the river. The wind blew away the dark clouds, revealing the whole picture of the moonlight.
Jiang Yan saw the huge monster lying in the grass. He looked like a dog, but his body was extremely huge. There was a layer of undulating scorched skin on his back. Its limbs reached the ground, its head was like a fish head, and its mouth was full of sharp eyes. tusks.
The monster's face was facing Jiang Yan's direction, but its eyes were tightly closed all the time. Just when Jiang Yan was about to compete with him, the monster crawled into the river at an extremely fast speed and quickly sank to the bottom of the river.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan gave up tracking and returned to the hotel as quickly as possible.
The ladies and gentlemen had already left the scene, and the police were collecting clues. Sun Lishan pointed the finger at Xi Ran, and believed that he should cooperate with the old man to carry out the theft together.
No matter what Sun Lishan's purpose was, Ye Mingzhu was indeed lost now, and he signed the responsibility letter. Even if the two parties shared the responsibility, there would be more than 1000 million US dollars on his head.
When Jiang Yan arrived, Xi Ran was thinking about things alone in the lounge, the button of his shirt fell off at some point, and his clothes were messy leaning against the window.
It was rare for Jiang Yan to see him in a daze, and it was also rare to see him with such a solemn expression.
"Ye Mingzhu didn't come back, did he hurt you?"
Hearing the voice, Xi Ran raised his head, smiled slowly, comforted Jiang Yan and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, he didn't hurt me."
Jiang Yan lifted his shirt and looked at the palm print on his collarbone with distress. The palm print had faded a lot, but he could also see that there were webs between the other's fingers. So far, Jiang Yan felt that his guess was almost inseparable.
He lowered his head and licked Xi Ran's collarbone, watched the palm prints disappear at a visible speed, then embraced Xi Ran in his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Xi Ran lightly smiled and patted him on the back: "I'm not worried, I'm thinking about something, since it happened, why don't you think about how to deal with it."
Jiang Yan still hugged him tightly, humming vaguely.
Xi Ran's mood suddenly eased, he stroked his back and said, "Why are you more worried than me, I'm really fine."
"The one surnamed Sun wants to harm you."
Xi Ran was stunned: "What did you say?"
Jiang Yan separated from him, looked into his turbulent eyes, and said slowly: "The pair of Ye Mingzhus were originally fake. The old man who came today is called Ye Ming. He was originally a monster living in the South China Sea. It is rumored that he has the ability to control wind and clouds. He also has a pair of eyes that can emit strong light. What you call Ye Mingzhu is the eyes of Ye Ming. More than 1 years ago, Ye Ming tried to control the day and night. He let the clouds cover the sun and the moon, so that when he opened his eyes, it was daytime. , it was night when he closed his eyes, what he did was against the way of heaven, God punished him, the scorching sun pierced through the clouds and sunned into the river and sea, roasting his back, trying to sunk him to death, later he dug out his double Since then, there have been night pearls in the world, and so-called night pearls have appeared one after another in various places, but those are actually just beautiful beads, which cannot be called night pearls, only the night pearls. A pair of eyes is what really makes the night as bright as the day."
Xi Ran pondered: "But when he opened his eyes, the pair of beads didn't shine."
"That's right, Ye Ming must have gotten the news and came here specially for his eyes, but he didn't expect the beads to be fake."
It was only then that Xi Ran understood why Sun Lishan turned on the bright lights. He was afraid that some experts at the scene would spot the problem.
The so-called foolproof method turned out to be to hide the real Ye Mingzhu.
Although Xi Ran has found out the truth, the pearl is indeed lost now. He has no evidence to prove that the Ye Mingzhu is fake, but the riot at the exhibition is an indisputable fact.
Everyone was on the scene until three o'clock in the morning, and Xi Ran's boss made countless phone calls to ask about the situation, as if he wanted Xi Ran to take full responsibility.
Xi Ran didn't shirk responsibility, but it didn't mean he would fight all the mistakes alone. The two of them couldn't agree on the phone, and the boss clamored that Xi Ran didn't have to go to work tomorrow and waited at home to receive the lawyer's letter, and then angrily hang up the phone.
Xi Ran and Jiang Yan returned home together, curled up on the sofa, took a sip from the red wine glass, and said before Jiang Yan could babble: "You know, I woke up in the hospital at that time, and there was nothing Remember, my parents came to say that I lost my memory after a car crash, and told me not to worry, they would take care of me. I didn’t say anything at the time, but I was actually scared to death. Scared, scared to sleep, scared of everything, even after I moved out after work, I was always scared when I was alone."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that I will always maintain the status quo and be alone forever. Even when I am with many people, I always feel very lonely, but since you appeared, I feel very at ease. It seems that someone will protect me when the sky falls. , It's strange, obviously I take more care of you, but I still feel that you make me feel very safe."
Jiang Yan smiled lightly: "I will protect you."
Xi Ran put the wine glass on the coffee table, turned over and lay on Jiang Yan's lap, and muttered, "If I saw you when I woke up from the car accident, I might not be so scared."
Jiang Yan touched his ears, and suddenly remembered something. He took out Jiang Shu's small stones from the Qiankun bag, filled the whole coffee table, and asked, "Can this be sold for money?"
Xi Ran was stunned for two seconds, then quickly sat cross-legged on the sofa, picked up a piece of jadeite and said, "Wow, this piece of jadeite is really good, it will look good as a cuff." I looked at it over and over again, wishing I could take it for processing right away.
Jiang Yan asked again: "Are these worth anything?"
"Of course it's valuable, but it's hard to find a buyer if you sell these all at once. Besides, Ye Mingzhu's bidding price is [-] million U.S. dollars. I might have to pay as much as [-]%. Let's put these away first."
"Why put it away? Didn't you say to make cuffs?"
Xi Ran burst into a smile, and kissed the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth, "Give it all to me?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "What's mine is yours."
Xi Ran pursed his lips and smiled, thought for a while and said: "Then you put it away first, and I will ask you later."
"Okay." Seeing Xi Ran smile, Jiang Yan finally relaxed a little.
Tired all night, Xi Ran didn't even want to take a shower, and fell asleep on the sofa hugging Jiang Yan's waist.
The two slept until dawn, only to be woken up by the sound of a phone call.
Xi Ran opened his eyes tiredly, pinched the center of his eyebrows and looked at the caller ID.
It's an unfamiliar number from the capital.
He picked up the phone, and there was a gentle and polite greeting on the other end of the phone.
"Good morning, Mr. Xi, did you disturb your rest?"
Xi Ran didn't understand, so he asked, "You are?"
"This is Chen Jianting, the private secretary of the chairman of Jincheng Group."
Xi Ran knew this person, but he didn't know why the other party called him. Although Ye Mingzhu's incident was serious, it was not enough to alarm the senior management of Jincheng Group, especially the chairman's secretary who called him personally. "
"Hi, I'm Xi Ran."
"Mr. Xi is like this. Our boss already knew what happened last night. There may be some misunderstandings. Mr. Xi handled the whole matter very well. There is no need to take responsibility. Our boss would like to discuss the details with you. For the interview, I wonder if Mr. Xi is free to come to the capital these few days." He paused and continued, "Of course, he came with Mr. Jiang."
Xi Ran was stunned suddenly. Ever since he was with Jiang Yan, it would inevitably cause him trouble. Jiang Yan disappeared when entering and exiting the Junhua Building, and he had nothing to do with Ye Mingzhu.
How could the other party know about Jiang Yan's existence and invite him to pass by?
But no matter what, Xi Ran can only agree at this time, firstly, the matter of Ye Mingzhu has not been resolved, and secondly, the chairman of the Jincheng Group is his big boss, and letting him go to the capital is no different from a business trip.
After Xi Ran agreed to tell Jiang Yan about it, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The other party may know about Ye Ming, or there may be strange people in the Jincheng Group."
Xi Ran said: "No matter how you say it, that sentence is correct, there is no limit to the road, isn't it?"
"No, this sentence is wrong, the sky will cut your way, and it will be useless if you try hard, and the other sentence is also wrong, man will conquer the sky, how is this possible?"
Xi Ran slapped him on the face: "Shut up, brush your teeth and wash your face."
Night Pearl ([-])
Ever since he came to live in the world, Jiang Yan tried to integrate himself into human life and make himself look more like a real person. He got a bus card, endured the long and crowded journey, and lived three days a day like ordinary people. Even though the food didn't appeal to him at all.
However, as long as he is with Xi Ran, whether it is sitting on a plane that is slow like ants, or the plane meal that tastes like chewing wax in front of him, it makes him feel that the time is really wonderful.
As soon as the two got off the plane, they saw the rumored Chen Jianting. He was an extremely gentle man with a gentle smile on his face all the time. He didn't make people feel cunning. A hidden feeling.
Chen Jianting looked young, with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a well-tailored suit, standing out in a crowd of people.
He shook hands with the two of them, smiled lightly and said, "The journey is tiring, the car has already parked outside, please follow me."
The car that Chen Jianting came to pick up was a stretched Bentley, but Jiang Yan was obviously not interested, and he didn't know anything about it, but he was curious about the refrigerator in the car.
Chen Jianting said: "Our boss always likes to be quiet, and the place where he lives is relatively remote. If the two of you are tired, please rest for a while."
Xi Ran said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not too tired right now, so I would like to ask, does Secretary Chen know why the big boss wants to see me?"
"Of course it is because of Ye Mingzhu's matter. The boss learned that there are capable people and strangers beside Mr. Xi, so he wants to ask the two of you for help. Let's talk about the details after meeting the boss. Don't worry, Mr. Xi, our boss is talking about it." A reasonable person will never embarrass the two of you no matter what, so please don't worry about it."
Xi Ran smiled, but in his heart he thought about the words capable people and different people. They must have noticed Jiang Yan, what exactly are they trying to do...
The car gradually moved away from the urban area and headed towards a remote and desolate place. It is not accurate to say that it is desolate. The road is lush and beautiful, but there are no buildings. green.
Gradually, an antique mansion appeared in front of us. It was different from the modern buildings with white walls and black tiles. This mansion retained the real ancient style. Every brick and stone was very particular, and even the air was flying A faint smell of earth and incense mixed.
Xi Ran and Jiang Yan followed Chen Jianting all the way inward, and the scents gradually became different. The incenses lit in different places were different, and the scents were wrapped around each other, and one layer after another was not messy.
They finally came to a garden, the whole garden stretched as far as the eye can see, the lake was everywhere, there were lotus in the lake, the lotus bloomed all the way, beautiful figure, there was a pavilion in the center of the lake, there was no bridge or boat, leaving the world behind And independent.
There is a man in a black robe in the Huxin Pavilion. His long hair is tied up with a jade hairpin. There is wind blowing around, but his hair cannot be brushed. He is bending over at the moment as if he is painting.
Standing by the lake, Jiang Yan could only see the man's back clearly.
Chen Jianting said: "That is the big boss of our Jincheng Group, he has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xi Ran was slightly stunned, how could he remember that the chairman of Jincheng Group, also known as the big boss, was a mellow middle-aged man?
Chen Jianting seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The person you saw on TV in the past is the agent of our boss, this is the real owner of the group, you call him Mr. Chen , Chen doesn’t bother me anymore, I’ll leave first.”
Jiang Yan understood that Secretary Chen asked them to go to Huxin Pavilion by themselves.
He wrapped his arms around Xi Ran's waist, and moved to the lake pavilion in the blink of an eye.
That Mr. Chen was still painting on his own, his back remained motionless, Jiang Yan walked around from behind him, and finally saw his appearance clearly.
The man's face was as sinking as water, and his profound facial features were like uncanny workmanship, especially his eyes, which were filled with bottomless darkness. He never raised his eyes, and his eyes were deeply immersed in the painting.
Before the painting was completed, Jiang Yan couldn't see what he was painting, and he was not interested. He looked into his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
The man raised his head slightly and said to Xi Ran, "Please sit down."
There are two cushions in front of his desk, and two small tea tables in front of the cushions, each with a few trays of refreshments.
Xi Ran pulled Jiang Yan to sit down, and motioned him to be calm.
Mr. Chen immersed himself in the painting, and cut straight to the point: "I was there when the two luminous pearls were auctioned. , then I will really let him throw it once, no one dares to play tricks in front of me, I have plenty of money, I will give him twice as much as he wants, and bring me back the real Ye Mingzhu."
Xi Ran knew in his heart that if those were really Ye Ming's eyes, they would be priceless treasures, far more than [-] billion US dollars, but where did they find them?
Xi Ran asked, "You want us to steal?"
"Steal?" The man raised his cold eyes and snorted, "I'll let you steal it! You must blatantly shame Huo Wanwan!"
Xi Ran: "..."
Jiang Yan said with a dark face: "Why should we help you? Who are you?"
Mr. Chen turned his eyes back to the front of the case again, and said calmly: "You don't even know who you are, so you still care about who I am?"
Jiang Yan raised his head abruptly.
Mr. Chen put away his pen, straightened his clothes with lowered eyes and said, "Ye Ming will find Huo Wanwan soon, and you can find the real Ye Mingzhu by following him. After getting back the Ye Mingzhu, I will definitely give you what you want. You can consider it." Answer me clearly."
Jiang Yan pulled Xi Ran away from the Huxin Pavilion, and Chen Jianting appeared in time and asked the driver to take them away.
The driver sent them all the way to the hotel and told them: "Secretary Chen has booked a room for you for a week here. Please have a good rest. If you need a car, you can call me. I will serve you both this week."
Xi Ran thanked him, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Yan out of the car. After breathing the fresh air outside, he was completely relieved, and whispered, "Is there something wrong with that Chen? I'm not going to rob, He didn't give me a gun!"
Jiang Yan chuckled: "Just go with a gun?"
Xi Ran went to the front desk to check in, and whispered to Jiang Yan at the same time: "Generally, my image is that of the actor drinking coffee in movies, not a tough guy, really not."
The lady at the front desk held back her smile and gave him the room card. Only when they got to the room did they know that Chen Jianting had opened a room for them for a week.
Xi Ran threw the key into the storage basket on the shoe cabinet, and then put the egg fried rice into the microwave.
While the meal was heating up, he walked to the sofa, sat on the floor mat with his elbows propped on the edge of the sofa, and looked at Jiang Yan's face with his chin resting on his cheek.
Jiang Yan's demeanor is very upright, he never beat around the bush when he speaks or does anything, and his emotions are basically written on his face.
Xi Ran looked at Jiang Yan's sleeping face, and carefully fell asleep on his chest.
The ding of the microwave awakened Jiang Yan from his sleep.
He opened his eyes and saw Xi Ran, spread his palms over his head and rubbed gently.
"are you tired?"
Xi Ran hugged his waist and said with a smile, "I'm too tired to lift my hands."
"Then I'll feed you, and you go to bed after eating."
Xi Ran was amused by him, laughed so much that he couldn't help but asked, "Then what about taking a bath?"
Jiang Yan said seriously: "I'll wash it for you."
Xi Ran took a deep breath and said slowly, "Stop making trouble, I'm going to eat."
The next day, Xi Ran went to discuss with the person in charge of the other party, and the other party proposed to try the security system first.
This is a normal project process. After the exhibition location is determined, security facilities can be arranged and then tested. Even if the other party does not make such a request, they will take the initiative to conduct internal testing.
The location of the exhibition is tentatively set at a five-star hotel near Chengxin Park. The environment of that generation is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, and it is far away from commercial streets and residential areas. Apart from a primary school, there are only a few government buildings and some scattered buildings nearby. small shop.
The hotel is seventeen floors high, and their exhibition hall is on the top floor, with a tight security system. Many exhibitions have been held in this hotel in the past.
The person in charge of the Huo Group is called Sun Lishan, in his 30s, a jewelry expert. In the early years when the Huo Group was not developed, he had already followed the Huo Group's big boss. This time the jewelry exhibition is a global tour, and the Huo Group sent him to come forward It also just shows the importance of this exhibition.
There are two sets of security systems. Sun Lishan's own set is in charge of the interior of the exhibition hall, and Jincheng Group is in charge of the rest of the hotel. Once the jewelry is stolen or damaged, both parties are jointly responsible, so the security test is actually two-way. It is compulsory to test Sun Lishan's security system.
The test time is set at [-]:[-] pm. Except for the plastic model in the glass cabinet, the rest includes the lighting, room temperature, and the carpet in the room. Everything must be exactly the same as the day of the exhibition.
At 500:100, the doors on both sides of the exhibition hall, which can accommodate [-] people, were opened. On the day of the real exhibition, only [-] guests got admission tickets. The view of the entire exhibition hall can be said to be very wide.
The place where Xi Ran was standing was close to the window, and there was no foothold outside the window. The exhibition hall was already on the top floor, and there would be guards on the roof at that time. Unless the other party flew a helicopter, it would be impossible to enter and exit through the window.
Xi Ran also took over several calligraphy and painting exhibitions, but only this time the security measures were directly raised by several levels.
In addition to security issues, all the details of the exhibition layout, publicity, and invitation letters must be confirmed one by one by Xi Ran.
He has barely closed his eyes for the past few days, and Jiang Yan always drives him to and from get off work.
It was only in the car that the two of them had time to stick together for a while.
The test was carried out step by step. Sun Lishan was very experienced, but Xi Ran seemed a bit amateur in comparison. He stood aside with a walkie-talkie, watching everything that happened in the room intently.
Sun Lishan walked towards him with a smile. He was wearing a meticulous suit, with a confident smile on his face.
"Director Xi, don't be too nervous. We are very experienced in this kind of exhibition, and we have a foolproof method." His tone was a little mysterious, he wanted to show off, but he was afraid of revealing his cards.
Xi Ran chuckled, as long as the Ye Mingzhu and jewels are not lost, it doesn't matter what you can do.
Sun Lishan also said: "Director Xi is not very old, so he has received the attention of the boss, and the future will definitely be limitless."
"Mr. Sun was joking, Xi is just a part-time worker, and there is no future to talk about."
"Director Xi, don't underestimate yourself. I can see that your future is not in Jincheng Group. Are you interested in coming to our Huo's headquarters?" Sun Lishan looked at him ambiguously, and raised his palm to put it on his shoulder, but he hadn't touched it yet. Xi Ran's clothes suddenly slipped under his feet, and he fell on his back.
Xi Ran amplified his voice solemnly and said: "Why is there water on the ground? Who is responsible! Come and deal with it. I don't want to see this happen the day after tomorrow."
Sun Lishan's fall didn't make much movement at first, but Xi Ran's voice attracted everyone's attention.
Sun Lishan was ashamed, got up with the help of his assistant, and gave Xi Ran a vicious look.
Xi Ran was really baffled, what does your wrestling have to do with me?You go to Jiang Yan!
Jiang Yan sat on the window sill and stared at Sun Lishan coldly. If he still wanted to get close to Xi Ran, he would take off his arm directly.
The exhibition was just around the corner, and Sun Lishan didn't want to cause trouble, and besides, he slipped and fell by himself, but that Xi Ran was too ignorant to even dare to laugh at him. Big, how the wind gusts.
Night Pearl ([-])
Jiang Shu moved into Guyao's villa in the world. He had inexhaustible meat and inexhaustible credit cards. From then on, the little rabbit lived a flamboyant life. Even when he went to work in a coffee shop, he felt full of vitality. Looks like a rabbit.
As soon as this month's salary was paid, Jiang Shu immediately took the money to Xi Ran's house and laughed at Jiang Yan as an unemployed person.
Take a dinner by the way.
I didn't see Xi Ran when I entered the door, but Jiang Yan was cooking quick-frozen dumplings wearing an apron.
Egg fried rice and quick-frozen dumplings are already his limit, and there is no more advanced cooking skills.
Jiang Shu threw a lot of money on the cooking table, raised his chin and said, "Look, I'm paid."
"Oh."
"Oh, what! What are you cooking that is unpalatable?"
"Go away, take the money away, and get out of my way."
Jiang Shu put away the money and said disdainfully, "You just envy me for having a stable job, do you have it?"
"No, do you want to eat? There is still a bag."
"Eat something to eat." Jiang Shu chick nodded like pecking at rice, and continued to speak proudly after nodding, "Why are you so thick-skinned, you just eat soft rice at someone's house without doing anything!"
Jiang Yan took the thermos box out of the cabinet and asked casually, "Why not?"
Jiang Shu sincerely envied: "Of course you are very kind, you guys are developing too fast."
Jiang Yan rarely talked to Jiang Shu about his thoughts, and he couldn't understand him when he did. But today, Jiang Yan suddenly wanted to say something. He watched the hot water in the pot start to boil, and gradually began to talk to himself. .
"In fact, I don't really understand. At first, the feeling was not strong, but it always existed like a long stream of water, as if we had been with each other for tens of thousands of years, not just as simple as love. I practiced in Penglai for a hundred years. It was just a blink of an eye, but the 18 years of separation seemed to have passed the rest of my life. I fell in love with him probably when he was still Ruan Xiqing. Whether it was Xi Ran or Ruan Xiqing, he always called I was moved, and then I realized that our fate is not only that, we have been together for a long time."
Jiang Shu looked at him silently, and when he finished speaking, he blurted out: "What does that have to do with your soft rice?"
Jiang Yan said with a dark face, "...get out of here after you finish eating the dumplings."
After the dumplings were cooked, Jiang Yan took the heat preservation box and left without waiting for Jiang Shu to finish eating.
Xi Ran didn't expect that Jiang Yan would come to deliver food to him, and he had already ordered Chinese food.
When Jiang Yan arrived, he was eating, and without thinking about it, he put the box lunch in his hand aside, and complained: "The takeaway is not nutritious at all, what did you bring me?"
Jiang Yan put the thermos box in front of him and said, "Quick-frozen dumplings are not nutritious either."
Xi Ran sighed, this idiot has no interest at all.
There were two bags of dumplings in total, one bag was eaten by Jiang Shu, and Jiang Yan didn't keep his portion, so he naturally picked up Xi Ran's half-eaten box lunch, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Seeing him eating the rest of his meal without hesitation, Xi Ran was annoyed and funny, and spooned a few dumplings for him one after another.
He didn't know whether to say whether Jiang Yan had a good temper or a bad temper. Sometimes he didn't get angry at all, and sometimes he made a bad face for a little thing, but fortunately, the two of them never got angry at the same point, and they never quarreled. .
Xi Ran kissed him on the cheek and said: "I haven't cooked for you for a long time. When this project is over, I will accompany you well."
Jiang Yan nodded, and said seriously: "It's been a long time since I made out."
Xi Ran kicked him dumbfounded: "Not serious."
*****
On the day of the jewelry exhibition, Xi Ran went to the venue very early, and after getting the venue ready, she sat on the sofa and waited quietly for the arrival of seven o'clock.
Xi Ran didn't feel nervous at all, but Huang Xiaobai beside him was taking deep breaths nervously.
He used to follow entertainment projects such as reader meeting and fan meeting. This was the first time he was talking to such a big project, not to mention the jewelry exhibition project itself, just being a guest was enough to make him dumbfounded.
Seeing that he was too nervous, Xi Ran pulled him up from the chair and rearranged his tie, "Don't be nervous, pay attention to details, maintain confidence, and relax."
Huang Xiaobai looked at him motionless, and said for no reason: "Director, you are so gentle."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone hit the back of his head, and he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who hit me? Hey, why is there no one?"
Xi Ran smiled: "You are too nervous, go out and see if there are any omissions."
"Okay director, I'll go right away."
Jiang Yan took Xi Ran's hand, and said unwillingly: "The brat is taking advantage of you."
"No, he's still a child."
The time was almost up, Xi Ran adjusted his appearance for the last time, and left the lounge.
Guests in suits and dresses entered the door one after another, and Jiang Yan stood with them admiring the so-called high-love jewelry, listening to their amazing words of praise.
He didn't quite understand the beauty of broken stones like this. His Qiankun bag was full of similar things. Jiang Shu liked to pick up such broken things when he was a rabbit. Put it in his den, and Jiang Yan had to hide it for him. Later, he became a human and didn't expect to go back. It is still in Jiang Yan's Qiankun bag.
Jiang Yan really didn't understand that no matter how beautiful a stone is, it is still a stone, and it is not as good as the ginseng that can be seen everywhere in Penglai, and no matter how common it is, it has medicinal value.
The exhibition cabinet that was surrounded by water could belong to the exhibition cabinet of Ye Mingzhu in the middle. Jiang Yan didn't intend to squeeze in to look at the two broken beads. He was going to find Xi Ran when he turned around and saw him talking to Sun Lishan in the corner. The two did not quarrel. Get up, but Jiang Yan can see that the face of the attendant is not very good-looking, he should be angry.
When Jiang Yan walked over, he heard Xi Ran lower his voice and say, "Let me tell you, since I am in charge of this project, then the final decision is made here. We confirmed all the details early on. If you decide to turn on the bright light now, you will Affecting the customer experience will also affect the reputation of the company! Shut it down for me immediately!"
Sun Lishan laughed, and said with a playful smile: "Don't be like this, what's there to be angry about such a small thing, it's just turning on one more light, what does it matter?"
"Don't forget, the focus of this exhibition is the luminous pearl, not the strong light!" Xi Ran didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, the act of turning off the light at this time seemed too abrupt, and not turning it off would affect the effect of the exhibition.
After thinking about it, Xi Ran asked the jewelry commentator to come on stage to speak, and asked the assistant to turn off the lights after checking the timing.
Sun Lishan sneered: "You will regret it."
Xi Ran put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at him coldly, raised his lips and said, "Xi will wait and see."
Just when the two men were at the point of their swords, a sticky and fishy smell suddenly wafted out of the exhibition hall, accompanied by a faint smell of burning.
Xi Ran's first reaction was that something was burning. At this moment, all the lights went out with a click, and the room was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Then there was the sound of glass breaking.
The guests screamed, and the guards at the door quickly blocked the door, looking nervously on guard.
Jiang Yan cast a spell to turn on the lights in the room.
The display case made of bulletproof glass was shattered into pieces, and the two night pearls inside were missing!
The lights in the corridor at the entrance were not turned off, and the guards had been standing there all along without seeing anyone going out. Xi Ran was sure that the person who made trouble just now was still in the exhibition hall.
Sun Lishan shouted anxiously: "No one is allowed to move, hurry up and call the police!"
Thieves who can break bulletproof glass and steal jewelry are usually not ordinary thieves. The guests in the banquet hall are almost all dignitaries and dignitaries, and they are all clamoring to leave.
Xi Ran was busy dealing with them, and at the same time, more importantly, was getting Ye Mingzhu back.
Jiang Yan sniffed the peculiar smell in the air carefully, he realized that something had mixed in, he slowed down his pace, and walked slowly past everyone.
While comforting the guests, Xi Ran had to deal with Sun Lishan's hysteria, so he took a moment to glance at Jiang Yan.
Behind Jiang Yan, a pair of eyes were staring at him closely, slowly turning his head as he moved.
To be precise, it was an old man wearing sunglasses, with gray hair, wearing a black suit and vest, but wearing a pair of tattered canvas shoes that didn't fit well.
Xi Ran suddenly realized that this old man could see Jiang Yan!
He handed over the guests to the assistant, left Sun Lishan who was still chattering, and quickly walked towards the old man.
Xi Ran stood still in front of him, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "Sir, can you take off the sunglasses, the situation is urgent now, we need to verify the identity of the guest."
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, I'm afraid I'm going to scare you because I'm blind."
"Sir, you are joking. Since it is inconvenient for you to go out, can someone accompany you today?"
"The old man is blind and his heart is not blind. He can't see the road." He took off his glasses, and his wide eyelids drooped down, almost reaching his cheekbones, overlapping with his loose wrinkles, like a circle of swaying eyes. water waves.
The only place where the old man could put things was his trousers pocket, but when he withdrew his hand from the pocket, the pocket quickly flattened without any swelling.
Xi Ran hesitated, at this moment Jiang Yan noticed the situation here, and he yelled at this place: "Xi Ran be careful!"
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were as big as moon disks, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were completely white. Everyone in the room covered their noses and looked over.
Xi Ran's gaze focused on the old man's eyeballs, where there were clearly two lost night pearls!
What kind of monster is this, it actually stuffed Ye Mingzhu into its eye sockets!
Taking advantage of Xi Ran's stupor, the old man slapped Xi Ran on the shoulder, turned around and ran towards the door.
Jiang Yan showed his original shape, flew forward and hugged Xi Ran, nervously said: "Are you alright?"
Xi Ran covered his shoulders and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, you go and chase Ye Mingzhu, Ye Mingzhu is in his eye socket!"
Jiang Yan was stunned, seeing that Xi Ran was really fine, he let him go and chased after the old man.
The old man knocked away the two guards who were blocking him, opened the escape door and ran out.
Jiang Yan followed behind, and he came a little later, not knowing whether the old man was going up or down, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran upstairs.
The old man went up to the rooftop, and all the other guards except Jiang Yan chased him downstairs. Only Jiang Yan, the old man, and the two guards who were on duty were left on the rooftop.
The two guards only received a notice that Ye Mingzhu was lost, but they didn't know the specific situation. After seeing the old man and Jiang Yan, the two couldn't distinguish the situation and could only be on guard at the same time.
The old man gradually retreated to the edge of the roof, holding on to the railing with trembling hands, and said in a rustling voice: "I just want to return my own things, you boy, don't come here."
Jiang Yan frowned in confusion, he actually felt that the old man seemed to be afraid of him, he put aside the guessing in his mind, and said bluntly: "I can't give you the Ye Mingzhu, you return the pearl to me, and I will let you go."
"Impossible!" The old man leaned on the railing and leaped lightly, directly jumping off the roof.
Jiang Yan was more than ten meters away from him, and when he saw this, he ran towards the railing, jumped lightly, and then jumped down from the nineteenth floor.
The two guards were stunned and rubbed their eyes in unison.
Night Pearl ([-])
Jiang Yan chased after the old man's smell all the way, the old man moved very fast, dense dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness.
Jiang Yan chased all the way to the river, and as he got closer to the river, the surrounding wind gradually became bitter, and the fishy smell wafted around, as if it was everywhere.
It was pitch black in front of Jiang Yan, and he could only confirm the location by his voice.
A strange hand that was dripping water slowly approached him in the dark. The fingers were extremely thick and gray-blue, the nails were uneven, and viscous liquid was constantly dripping from the nails.
Jiang Yan suddenly smelled the burning smell, he turned around abruptly, and punched the sneak attacking monster behind him.
The monster flashed fast, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Yan clenched his fists and let out a roar. The roar was thick and powerful, and a strong wind suddenly rose by the river. The wind blew away the dark clouds, revealing the whole picture of the moonlight.
Jiang Yan saw the huge monster lying in the grass. He looked like a dog, but his body was extremely huge. There was a layer of undulating scorched skin on his back. Its limbs reached the ground, its head was like a fish head, and its mouth was full of sharp eyes. tusks.
The monster's face was facing Jiang Yan's direction, but its eyes were tightly closed all the time. Just when Jiang Yan was about to compete with him, the monster crawled into the river at an extremely fast speed and quickly sank to the bottom of the river.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan gave up tracking and returned to the hotel as quickly as possible.
The ladies and gentlemen had already left the scene, and the police were collecting clues. Sun Lishan pointed the finger at Xi Ran, and believed that he should cooperate with the old man to carry out the theft together.
No matter what Sun Lishan's purpose was, Ye Mingzhu was indeed lost now, and he signed the responsibility letter. Even if the two parties shared the responsibility, there would be more than 1000 million US dollars on his head.
When Jiang Yan arrived, Xi Ran was thinking about things alone in the lounge, the button of his shirt fell off at some point, and his clothes were messy leaning against the window.
It was rare for Jiang Yan to see him in a daze, and it was also rare to see him with such a solemn expression.
"Ye Mingzhu didn't come back, did he hurt you?"
Hearing the voice, Xi Ran raised his head, smiled slowly, comforted Jiang Yan and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, he didn't hurt me."
Jiang Yan lifted his shirt and looked at the palm print on his collarbone with distress. The palm print had faded a lot, but he could also see that there were webs between the other's fingers. So far, Jiang Yan felt that his guess was almost inseparable.
He lowered his head and licked Xi Ran's collarbone, watched the palm prints disappear at a visible speed, then embraced Xi Ran in his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Xi Ran lightly smiled and patted him on the back: "I'm not worried, I'm thinking about something, since it happened, why don't you think about how to deal with it."
Jiang Yan still hugged him tightly, humming vaguely.
Xi Ran's mood suddenly eased, he stroked his back and said, "Why are you more worried than me, I'm really fine."
"The one surnamed Sun wants to harm you."
Xi Ran was stunned: "What did you say?"
Jiang Yan separated from him, looked into his turbulent eyes, and said slowly: "The pair of Ye Mingzhus were originally fake. The old man who came today is called Ye Ming. He was originally a monster living in the South China Sea. It is rumored that he has the ability to control wind and clouds. He also has a pair of eyes that can emit strong light. What you call Ye Mingzhu is the eyes of Ye Ming. More than 1 years ago, Ye Ming tried to control the day and night. He let the clouds cover the sun and the moon, so that when he opened his eyes, it was daytime. , it was night when he closed his eyes, what he did was against the way of heaven, God punished him, the scorching sun pierced through the clouds and sunned into the river and sea, roasting his back, trying to sunk him to death, later he dug out his double Since then, there have been night pearls in the world, and so-called night pearls have appeared one after another in various places, but those are actually just beautiful beads, which cannot be called night pearls, only the night pearls. A pair of eyes is what really makes the night as bright as the day."
Xi Ran pondered: "But when he opened his eyes, the pair of beads didn't shine."
"That's right, Ye Ming must have gotten the news and came here specially for his eyes, but he didn't expect the beads to be fake."
It was only then that Xi Ran understood why Sun Lishan turned on the bright lights. He was afraid that some experts at the scene would spot the problem.
The so-called foolproof method turned out to be to hide the real Ye Mingzhu.
Although Xi Ran has found out the truth, the pearl is indeed lost now. He has no evidence to prove that the Ye Mingzhu is fake, but the riot at the exhibition is an indisputable fact.
Everyone was on the scene until three o'clock in the morning, and Xi Ran's boss made countless phone calls to ask about the situation, as if he wanted Xi Ran to take full responsibility.
Xi Ran didn't shirk responsibility, but it didn't mean he would fight all the mistakes alone. The two of them couldn't agree on the phone, and the boss clamored that Xi Ran didn't have to go to work tomorrow and waited at home to receive the lawyer's letter, and then angrily hang up the phone.
Xi Ran and Jiang Yan returned home together, curled up on the sofa, took a sip from the red wine glass, and said before Jiang Yan could babble: "You know, I woke up in the hospital at that time, and there was nothing Remember, my parents came to say that I lost my memory after a car crash, and told me not to worry, they would take care of me. I didn’t say anything at the time, but I was actually scared to death. Scared, scared to sleep, scared of everything, even after I moved out after work, I was always scared when I was alone."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that I will always maintain the status quo and be alone forever. Even when I am with many people, I always feel very lonely, but since you appeared, I feel very at ease. It seems that someone will protect me when the sky falls. , It's strange, obviously I take more care of you, but I still feel that you make me feel very safe."
Jiang Yan smiled lightly: "I will protect you."
Xi Ran put the wine glass on the coffee table, turned over and lay on Jiang Yan's lap, and muttered, "If I saw you when I woke up from the car accident, I might not be so scared."
Jiang Yan touched his ears, and suddenly remembered something. He took out Jiang Shu's small stones from the Qiankun bag, filled the whole coffee table, and asked, "Can this be sold for money?"
Xi Ran was stunned for two seconds, then quickly sat cross-legged on the sofa, picked up a piece of jadeite and said, "Wow, this piece of jadeite is really good, it will look good as a cuff." I looked at it over and over again, wishing I could take it for processing right away.
Jiang Yan asked again: "Are these worth anything?"
"Of course it's valuable, but it's hard to find a buyer if you sell these all at once. Besides, Ye Mingzhu's bidding price is [-] million U.S. dollars. I might have to pay as much as [-]%. Let's put these away first."
"Why put it away? Didn't you say to make cuffs?"
Xi Ran burst into a smile, and kissed the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth, "Give it all to me?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "What's mine is yours."
Xi Ran pursed his lips and smiled, thought for a while and said: "Then you put it away first, and I will ask you later."
"Okay." Seeing Xi Ran smile, Jiang Yan finally relaxed a little.
Tired all night, Xi Ran didn't even want to take a shower, and fell asleep on the sofa hugging Jiang Yan's waist.
The two slept until dawn, only to be woken up by the sound of a phone call.
Xi Ran opened his eyes tiredly, pinched the center of his eyebrows and looked at the caller ID.
It's an unfamiliar number from the capital.
He picked up the phone, and there was a gentle and polite greeting on the other end of the phone.
"Good morning, Mr. Xi, did you disturb your rest?"
Xi Ran didn't understand, so he asked, "You are?"
"This is Chen Jianting, the private secretary of the chairman of Jincheng Group."
Xi Ran knew this person, but he didn't know why the other party called him. Although Ye Mingzhu's incident was serious, it was not enough to alarm the senior management of Jincheng Group, especially the chairman's secretary who called him personally. "
"Hi, I'm Xi Ran."
"Mr. Xi is like this. Our boss already knew what happened last night. There may be some misunderstandings. Mr. Xi handled the whole matter very well. There is no need to take responsibility. Our boss would like to discuss the details with you. For the interview, I wonder if Mr. Xi is free to come to the capital these few days." He paused and continued, "Of course, he came with Mr. Jiang."
Xi Ran was stunned suddenly. Ever since he was with Jiang Yan, it would inevitably cause him trouble. Jiang Yan disappeared when entering and exiting the Junhua Building, and he had nothing to do with Ye Mingzhu.
How could the other party know about Jiang Yan's existence and invite him to pass by?
But no matter what, Xi Ran can only agree at this time, firstly, the matter of Ye Mingzhu has not been resolved, and secondly, the chairman of the Jincheng Group is his big boss, and letting him go to the capital is no different from a business trip.
After Xi Ran agreed to tell Jiang Yan about it, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The other party may know about Ye Ming, or there may be strange people in the Jincheng Group."
Xi Ran said: "No matter how you say it, that sentence is correct, there is no limit to the road, isn't it?"
"No, this sentence is wrong, the sky will cut your way, and it will be useless if you try hard, and the other sentence is also wrong, man will conquer the sky, how is this possible?"
Xi Ran slapped him on the face: "Shut up, brush your teeth and wash your face."
Night Pearl ([-])
Ever since he came to live in the world, Jiang Yan tried to integrate himself into human life and make himself look more like a real person. He got a bus card, endured the long and crowded journey, and lived three days a day like ordinary people. Even though the food didn't appeal to him at all.
However, as long as he is with Xi Ran, whether it is sitting on a plane that is slow like ants, or the plane meal that tastes like chewing wax in front of him, it makes him feel that the time is really wonderful.
As soon as the two got off the plane, they saw the rumored Chen Jianting. He was an extremely gentle man with a gentle smile on his face all the time. He didn't make people feel cunning. A hidden feeling.
Chen Jianting looked young, with gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a well-tailored suit, standing out in a crowd of people.
He shook hands with the two of them, smiled lightly and said, "The journey is tiring, the car has already parked outside, please follow me."
The car that Chen Jianting came to pick up was a stretched Bentley, but Jiang Yan was obviously not interested, and he didn't know anything about it, but he was curious about the refrigerator in the car.
Chen Jianting said: "Our boss always likes to be quiet, and the place where he lives is relatively remote. If the two of you are tired, please rest for a while."
Xi Ran said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not too tired right now, so I would like to ask, does Secretary Chen know why the big boss wants to see me?"
"Of course it is because of Ye Mingzhu's matter. The boss learned that there are capable people and strangers beside Mr. Xi, so he wants to ask the two of you for help. Let's talk about the details after meeting the boss. Don't worry, Mr. Xi, our boss is talking about it." A reasonable person will never embarrass the two of you no matter what, so please don't worry about it."
Xi Ran smiled, but in his heart he thought about the words capable people and different people. They must have noticed Jiang Yan, what exactly are they trying to do...
The car gradually moved away from the urban area and headed towards a remote and desolate place. It is not accurate to say that it is desolate. The road is lush and beautiful, but there are no buildings. green.
Gradually, an antique mansion appeared in front of us. It was different from the modern buildings with white walls and black tiles. This mansion retained the real ancient style. Every brick and stone was very particular, and even the air was flying A faint smell of earth and incense mixed.
Xi Ran and Jiang Yan followed Chen Jianting all the way inward, and the scents gradually became different. The incenses lit in different places were different, and the scents were wrapped around each other, and one layer after another was not messy.
They finally came to a garden, the whole garden stretched as far as the eye can see, the lake was everywhere, there were lotus in the lake, the lotus bloomed all the way, beautiful figure, there was a pavilion in the center of the lake, there was no bridge or boat, leaving the world behind And independent.
There is a man in a black robe in the Huxin Pavilion. His long hair is tied up with a jade hairpin. There is wind blowing around, but his hair cannot be brushed. He is bending over at the moment as if he is painting.
Standing by the lake, Jiang Yan could only see the man's back clearly.
Chen Jianting said: "That is the big boss of our Jincheng Group, he has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xi Ran was slightly stunned, how could he remember that the chairman of Jincheng Group, also known as the big boss, was a mellow middle-aged man?
Chen Jianting seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The person you saw on TV in the past is the agent of our boss, this is the real owner of the group, you call him Mr. Chen , Chen doesn’t bother me anymore, I’ll leave first.”
Jiang Yan understood that Secretary Chen asked them to go to Huxin Pavilion by themselves.
He wrapped his arms around Xi Ran's waist, and moved to the lake pavilion in the blink of an eye.
That Mr. Chen was still painting on his own, his back remained motionless, Jiang Yan walked around from behind him, and finally saw his appearance clearly.
The man's face was as sinking as water, and his profound facial features were like uncanny workmanship, especially his eyes, which were filled with bottomless darkness. He never raised his eyes, and his eyes were deeply immersed in the painting.
Before the painting was completed, Jiang Yan couldn't see what he was painting, and he was not interested. He looked into his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
The man raised his head slightly and said to Xi Ran, "Please sit down."
There are two cushions in front of his desk, and two small tea tables in front of the cushions, each with a few trays of refreshments.
Xi Ran pulled Jiang Yan to sit down, and motioned him to be calm.
Mr. Chen immersed himself in the painting, and cut straight to the point: "I was there when the two luminous pearls were auctioned. , then I will really let him throw it once, no one dares to play tricks in front of me, I have plenty of money, I will give him twice as much as he wants, and bring me back the real Ye Mingzhu."
Xi Ran knew in his heart that if those were really Ye Ming's eyes, they would be priceless treasures, far more than [-] billion US dollars, but where did they find them?
Xi Ran asked, "You want us to steal?"
"Steal?" The man raised his cold eyes and snorted, "I'll let you steal it! You must blatantly shame Huo Wanwan!"
Xi Ran: "..."
Jiang Yan said with a dark face: "Why should we help you? Who are you?"
Mr. Chen turned his eyes back to the front of the case again, and said calmly: "You don't even know who you are, so you still care about who I am?"
Jiang Yan raised his head abruptly.
Mr. Chen put away his pen, straightened his clothes with lowered eyes and said, "Ye Ming will find Huo Wanwan soon, and you can find the real Ye Mingzhu by following him. After getting back the Ye Mingzhu, I will definitely give you what you want. You can consider it." Answer me clearly."
Jiang Yan pulled Xi Ran away from the Huxin Pavilion, and Chen Jianting appeared in time and asked the driver to take them away.
The driver sent them all the way to the hotel and told them: "Secretary Chen has booked a room for you for a week here. Please have a good rest. If you need a car, you can call me. I will serve you both this week."
Xi Ran thanked him, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Yan out of the car. After breathing the fresh air outside, he was completely relieved, and whispered, "Is there something wrong with that Chen? I'm not going to rob, He didn't give me a gun!"
Jiang Yan chuckled: "Just go with a gun?"
Xi Ran went to the front desk to check in, and whispered to Jiang Yan at the same time: "Generally, my image is that of the actor drinking coffee in movies, not a tough guy, really not."
The lady at the front desk held back her smile and gave him the room card. Only when they got to the room did they know that Chen Jianting had opened a room for them for a week.
