Imperial Treasure

Chapter 674 - 431: Geographical Location, Sniper!

--------

Although this was the case, Sui Yi would not meet alone, especially not at night, as there were too many unpredictable people at the residence. Even though she was confident in her ability to outmatch the other party, she couldn’t ensure that no one would see them meeting.

In fact, meeting Xiao Xianting would easily expose him...

At least it couldn’t be deliberate.

Thus, early the next morning, when she was sitting under a sun umbrella by the swimming pool in the backyard, and Xiao Xianting approached with two breakfasts in hand...

"I think you need breakfast, and if you would like me to sit here..." Xiao Xianting set a rich stack of breakfast in front of Sui Yi.

"I didn’t know what you liked or were used to eating, so I just brought a bit extra."

Putting down the newspaper she was reading, Sui Yi looked at him, "If I disagree, would you take the breakfast away?"

"Even though I might want to, my upbringing wouldn’t allow it... Of course, if the only way you will let me sit is by threatening to do so, why wouldn’t I?"

Merchants are cunning and what does upbringing mean?

Xiao Xianting was not pretentious, Sui Yi picked up the milk and said, "Thank you, please sit."

Xiao Xianting sat down.

The morning sunlight was undoubtedly brilliant and warm, and since it was late summer, the large sun umbrella was not much use, but it did make the two who faced each other over the white plastic table seem remarkably relaxed while having breakfast...

At least compared to most people in the villa who were busy dealing with the fear and the murder case from the previous night...

Very relaxed.

There weren’t many people around them...

Just the two of them in the vast backyard.

"I didn’t think I would find you here," Sui Yi said, taking a sip of her milk.

"I didn’t expect it myself either," Xiao Xianting shook his head.

"Do you know why?"

"If I didn’t, I suppose, I wouldn’t have willingly come here... Frankly speaking, I know I am innocent," Xiao Xianting cut a small piece of steak and forked it, "Aren’t you having steak?"

Sui Yi wasn’t keen on steak, she brushed the deliciously grilled stack aside with the back of her hand, shook her head, and said, "An unforeseen disaster?"

"Not exactly unforeseen, I never believe in absolute innocence... Since I’ve made contact with a dangerous individual, it meant fate had planned a crisis for me."

"Do you believe in Jesus?"

"No, I believe in Buddha."

Xiao Xianting didn’t drink milk... in fact, he was drinking red wine, showing off a capitalist’s discerning taste.

After a sip of wine, as he watched Sui Yi in the lovely sunlight, complemented by the wine... he felt this was quite a fine place to be.

At least at this moment, he had no regrets.

"I thought you wouldn’t be the type to follow fate,"

"No, I am merely trying, you know, most merchants are driven by profit, without a decidedly superior motive, they won’t act lightly..."

Sui Yi narrowed her eyes, picking up a piece of bread. Her gaze suddenly fell on Beijing University where it was morning tradition for students to practice early, with many cheer squads or other groups getting up early to practice their dances, as music drifted from the sports field... she looked that way and casually remarked, "Then what is your purpose?"

Her conversations with people were always concise and clear, neither indirect nor sharp, you would just feel a moderate calmness and a proper casualness.

This made it easy to find her tone pleasant, which then relaxed you, and eventually lowered your guard...

Xiao Xianting, looking at her profile, thought how this capacity of hers was not exclusive to her alone, thus making it frighteningly effective, leaving him unable to resist.

That’s why he said, "If I said that my goal was you, would you believe me?"

The sunshine was romantic, the music melodic, Sui Yi turned her face to look at him.

Her face, her eyes, perfectly merged with the wonderful background.

Even the slender, nearly transluent fingers twirling a piece of bread seemed so warmly harmonious...

Inside the villa, behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaning on the couch and looking out the windows at the people outside... many...

"From my years of experience, Mr. Xiao seems to be confessing,"

Gong Jiu stared at Ming Lanyuan: "I thought Miss Ming’s experience was only in dissecting dead bodies,"

"No, I’m just as good with living ones."

Living ones... good, and then people remembered the body from the previous night...

"What shall we do with that body? I think we can leave here, are we supposed to let the murderer kill us one by one?" Wen Xiukai, pale-faced and quivering voiced, having walked the path of death...

"I think your view is more like letting you all leave here so the murderer can kill you one by one..." Yue Beiqing said as he walked up, hands in his pockets, "The body has already been moved, I hope you all can forget about last night’s scene quickly... After all, you haven’t seen much, have you?"
