    ☆、Two-faced man 22

    “Xiao Yao?” I don’t know how long it took before Shi Qian was freed from his concentration on painting.

    As soon as he raised his head, he saw a petite and graceful figure in his field of vision. Her long black skirt made her small face look like jade. The solemn color made the man’s eyes sink. He lowered his eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips: “How long have you been standing there? Sorry, I was just in a trance.”

    “I just came here not long ago,” Yao Ji walked over with a smile, “What are you painting, brother.” She asked casually, walking to the easel.

    Shi Qian is best at sketching, and what he draws most often is sketching. On the white paper, the outline is lightly outlined with charcoal. The girl’s side face is delicate and soft. Before the painting is completed, you can still see the clear features and gentle smile.

    Yao Ji was shocked. She was originally an outgoing girl. She might be eccentric outside, but in front of her brother, she was cheerful and charming. In Shi Qian’s paintings, she was always in high spirits, smiling wantonly and beautiful.In order not to make Shi Qian suspicious, no matter how she treats other people, in front of Shi Qian, Yao Ji’s temperament is at least the same as that of her original self. At first, she may be a little strange because of the unfamiliarity, but she can also use the excuse of being newlywed and widowed.

    The unfinished sketch in front of me is not so much about “Shi Yao” as it is about “she”.Yao Ji reacted very quickly and raised her eyebrows: “Brother painted me? Why do I think it doesn’t look like it?”

    “It really doesn’t look like it.” The man tore off the drawing paper and balled it up into a scrap. “I’ll draw another one for you.”

    He started writing very quickly, and he sketched out a new sketch in about ten minutes. The lines are simple and the brushstrokes are sharp. The woman in the painting has a flowing long skirt and loose black hair. It is not Yao Ji’s usual dress for recruiting women, but the look left in the photo when Shi Yao and her brother went out for an outing before the Shi family came to country A.

    “Do you like it?” He took off the drawing paper and handed it to Yao Ji. Seeing Yao Ji studying it carefully, the smile in her eyes became warmer, “You always said that your favorite painting is your eldest brother’s. The jewelry and clothes are not as good as anything.”

    Yao Ji couldn’t help but think, maybe…she had ladylike thoughts towards Shi Qian.

    Although Shi Yao and Shi Qian are brothers and sisters, they are not related by blood. Shi Yao’s status in the Shi family is awkward. Without Shi Qian’s constant care for her, her life would probably be even more difficult.

    Dependence does not equal love, and neither does gratitude. However, long-term gratitude and dependence may develop into a girl’s love.

    She thought of the suicide note left by the original person. Could it be that the “doctor” was Shi Qian?But in this case, how could Xie Yinuo know about the existence of this mysterious figure.

    It seems… Yao Ji feels that she needs to talk to Xie Yinuo.

    On the outskirts of Newt, Herrington Manor.

    This gorgeous and grand manor has a history of several hundred years. It is said that the builder was a nobleman who crossed the sea from Europe in the Age of Discovery. It was passed down by successive owners and went through wars, reconstructions, declines, and prosperity. After the previous owner declared bankruptcy and was forced to sell it, it became the residence of Mr. Corleone.

    Sometimes, this mysterious gentleman would entertain his partners here. Most of the time, the beautiful manor was deserted and deserted. Only the servants responsible for cleaning the place wandered around, waiting for the owner to arrive.

    At this time, the chess and card room in the mansion that had been vacant all year round was packed with people for the first time, and even seemed a little crowded.

    There is a set of velvet sofas by the window. Cards are scattered on the low table in front of the sofa. A pair of feet wearing Oxford leather shoes are resting on the pile of cards. The owner of the feet seems to be absent-minded, and the toes are kicking the brocade tablecloth on the table.

    The Damascus flower pattern, gold thread trimming, and intertwined dark patterns, but the owner of the feet seemed not to care about the high-quality and precious fabrics. The leather shoes left a light gray mark on the tablecloth. Hearing the man in front of him bow his head respectfully say: “Boss, that batch of goods has been kept as per your request and placed in the warehouse in the Philippines.”

    “Well…” The man responded casually, and then stopped.

    He didn’t speak, and no one dared to speak out.Except for the bodyguards, who is waiting to report to He here is not a well-known figure in the underground world of country A. At this time, everyone held their breath, and more than a dozen people were crowded together, and there was actually silence.

    After a while, his confidant Borg, who was still accustomed to receiving heavy letters, took a step forward and was about to say, “Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.”

    The man raised his hand, signaling Berg to stop talking. The name that kept flashing on the phone screen that suddenly lit up made him lower his eyes, and a soft smile appeared in his eyes that even he himself didn’t notice.

    With a movement of his long finger, he slid open the answer button. A faint voice of a little woman came from the other end of the receiver. He couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips: “I thought you never planned to contact me in this life.”

    Yao Ji snorted: “Stop talking nonsense, I have something serious to ask you.”

    Ever since she was forced by Xie Yinuo to do many ridiculous things at the funeral that day, she and this big pervert began to have a cold war.It was said that it was a cold war, but in fact it was Yao Ji who unilaterally refused to answer Xie Yinuo’s calls or reply to his text messages. She felt that she had been too indulgent to that bastard before and allowed him to do whatever he wanted for so long, so he thought she was easy to bully?

    Originally, Yao Ji was not the type to be manipulated by others, but this time she was really angry, so she completely ignored Xie Yinuo, avoided seeing him, and ignored him at all, intending to destroy his prestige.

    If it weren’t for asking about things related to “Doctor”, she wouldn’t take the initiative to make this call, so her tone was indifferent.

    Just listen to Xie Enuo say: “What’s the matter?” As he spoke, there were light and chaotic footsteps on the other end of the receiver. It was probably because there was someone else next to him. After he signaled everyone present to leave, the smile in his voice became thicker, “Since Yaoyao wants to ask, I will definitely tell you everything.”

    Yao Ji also ignored he’s glib words: “Give me a copy of all the information you have related to ‘Doctor’.”

    She didn’t want to go around in circles with Xie Enuo, so she went straight to the point.To her surprise, Xie Yinuo did not hesitate or ask her what she was trying to do. The man’s voice remained low and low: “No problem.”

    “Really?” Yao Ji couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She agreed so simply. Did this bastard take the wrong medicine?

    “Of course,” he said slowly, “kiss me and I’ll tell you everything.”
