    ☆、Two-faced man 12

    In the following period, as Charles’s funeral was scheduled for his baptismal day next month, undercurrents surged within the Bruni family.

    Yao Ji was not idle, spying on the Qing Dynasty, winning over allies, and was busy all day long.Apart from anything else, Xie Yinuo did provide her with a lot of help in terms of intelligence. The lack of intelligence was one of the reasons why she was constrained before. After all, the Shi family was new here, and the intelligence network needed to be operated for a long time. In the past, they could only buy it with money, and the information they obtained was not 100% reliable in terms of confidentiality or authenticity.

    In addition, Yao Ji also found that the eldest son of the Xie family seemed to want to cooperate with her.Speaking of which, Xie Zhen is actually related to the Shi family.

    Xie Zhen’s mother was born in the Han family, a mafia family in Country H. More than twenty years ago, the Han family, like the Shi family, had to move to Country A because of failed domestic political speculation.The difference between the Han family and the Shi family is that their power is not first-rate, so the Han family relies on the Shieh family. After marrying their daughter to Xie Hao, the Shieh family took advantage of the situation and gathered the Han family as a force dependent on them.

    Coincidentally, Xie Zhen’s maternal aunt married into the Shi family, so when talking about relatives, Yao Ji had to call him cousin.This time the Shi family moved far away, and the Han family welcomed it from the beginning, and Xie Zhen was close to his mother’s family, so maybe his intention was to support someone close to him to become the boss of the Bruni family?

    No matter what, if the Han family throws an olive branch, the Shi family will definitely accept it. Yao Ji can’t stop Shi Jiaming and wants to wait and see what happens.On this day, she took time to go back to Shi’s house to visit Shi Qian, and happened to meet the Han family’s master.He is Yao Ji’s uncle, and he took Yao Ji’s hand with enthusiasm: “There will be a cocktail party at home in a few days, and A Yao must appreciate it.”

    Yao Ji couldn’t bear to say anything, so she had to agree.

    On the day of the reception, it rained rarely.It was late autumn, the autumn wind was bleak, and the yellow leaves were flying.Yao Ji wore a black coat and a long skirt of the same color as before, with her black hair tied up.She was born beautiful and delicate, but because of her solemn color, she showed a different kind of charm. As soon as she entered the reception hall, she felt that everyone was looking at her.

    The scale of the reception was not large. As the Han family said, they just invited familiar relatives and friends to get together.She had planned to show her face and leave, so anyone who asked her to dance refused on the grounds of mourning. She took a bottle of champagne and stood in the corner to sip it.

    While I was deep in thought, a familiar voice sounded behind me: “Madam, long time no see.”

    She was startled and turned around: “It turns out to be Mr. Xie, long time no see.”

    I saw Xie Zhen wearing a black tuxedo, still elegant and elegant as before.He was related to the Han family, so it didn’t seem strange to come to the reception, but Yao Ji felt something was wrong. After chatting with him for a while, she excused herself to go to the bathroom and left.

    She was walking to the bathroom with her skirt in hand when a waiter accidentally bumped into her and spilled all the champagne in the tray on Yao Ji.The waiter hurriedly apologized, because the noise was a bit loud, which attracted the Han family’s housekeeper to come over: “Madam, I’m really sorry, Axiang, please go and change clothes quickly.”

    “No need…” Yao Ji was already wary and was about to refuse. The maid named A Xiang had already walked over.As they passed each other, a small paper ball was stuffed into her hand. She remained calm and said with a smile: “Forget it, I look a bit indecent after all. I’d better change my clothes. I just don’t know if there is something suitable in your house.”

    Naturally, the Han family did not have a black dress for widowhood. Miss Han San and Yao Ji were about the same height, so Axiang found her white dress for Yao Ji, which seemed suitable.When the two of them came out of the guest room, they met Xie Zhenhu, who was leading his friends to the chess and card room. He walked over with a smile: “Madam, it’s a rare occasion for us to come here, let’s play a game?”

    The two young masters of the Han family stood beside he, one on the left and the other on the right, and the three of them formed a double-team to surround Yao Ji.In the hall, most of the guests were missing at some point. The remaining people seemed not to have noticed the scene happening at the entrance of the corridor. They were still talking and laughing, which was very lively.

    Yao Ji let out a long breath: “If I don’t agree, I won’t be afraid of old age. Well, thank you, sir, please.”

    She moved lightly, her white skirt gently swaying like running water. The chess and card room was at the other end. The four of them walked through the hall. The white marble floor was like a mirror, reflecting the colorful stained glass paintings on the dome. The green became greener, the blue became bluer, and the red was like the blood flowing in the ocean, solidifying and freezing when it was about to drip.

    “Mr. Xie,” Yao Ji suddenly stopped, she turned her head, a lock of broken hair hanging by her ear, her delicate little face was slightly pale, “Mr. Xie is also from the H country. Knowing the allusion of the ‘Hongmen Banquet’, before coming to this cocktail party, I never thought that I would also be attending a Hongmen Banquet.”

    “Madam is a smart person,” Xie Zhenruya still said, “Since you are smart, you should know that no matter whether Madam talks about conditions or shows weakness, I will not change my mind.” Even so, looking at the petite woman in front of him, he still felt a little regretful.

    It’s a pity that this beautiful and intelligent woman is the widow of the Bruni family.People in the Shi family don’t understand, including the Han family. Matthew and Shi Yao, one is on the same level as the Shieh family, and the other is likely to be close to the Han family. Why should Shi Yao be given up instead of Matthew?

    That’s because, between a fool and a smart person, the smart person is always more difficult to control.

    If you can’t use it for your own use, then simply destroy it. Otherwise, a moment of hesitation will only bring endless troubles.From the day he left Sophia Church, Xie Zhen made up his mind to kill Shi Yao so that the Bruni family would have to choose Matthew as the new boss.After that, he has many ways to make the Bruni family fall into disarray and give himself the opportunity to annex them.

    However, no matter how smart a woman is, she will still be afraid when death is imminent.At this time, the little woman happened to be wearing a long white skirt, with a wide skirt that reached to her ankles. The skirt was simple and elegant, not stained by dust.A head of satin-like black hair hangs down on her shoulders. When she stares at people, she is so delicate, innocent, and pitiful. People can’t help but want to hold her in their arms and care for her tenderly.

    “I think so,” she sighed. “Mr. Xie said that, so I have nothing to feel guilty about.”

    Before he could finish his words, a bang of gunfire broke the silence in the room.

    I saw the second young master of the Han family next to Xie Zhen suddenly burst into action and shot Xie Zhen with a shot.And Yao Ji also pulled out a gun from nowhere like a magic trick, and hit Xie Zhen and Young Master Han three times in a row. The sudden change caused a silence in the hall, and soon there were screams, running sounds, and more gunshots.

    What was originally an elegant cocktail party suddenly turned into a bloody and fierce firefight scene. People kept falling down and people kept pulling out guns.Yao Ji walked forward while shooting, her skirt was splashed with scarlet at some point, and her hand holding the gun was as steady as before, without trembling.

    Not far from her, Xie Zhen was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, and he refused to close his eyes.

    “What a pity.” She walked past Xie Zhen’s body and softly uttered two words.

    You are smart, but there is someone smarter than you.You are ruthless, but there is someone more ruthless than you.
