Chapter 124 Back-to-Back
Of course, Lorraine didn't see her either, she just heard a voice that sounded slightly familiar earlier and didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
However, Jiang Yan and Long Er, who were sitting opposite each other across from Lorraine and Mountain Cat, exchanged a glance by accident. In fact, it's not just men who look at beautiful women, women do too, especially when two beautiful women meet, they usually take more than two glances. More importantly, Jiang Yan and Long Er are both completely different types of beauties. One is elegant and capable, the other is sexy and charming, but both possess a mature feminine aura, so naturally they started sizing each other up quietly.
Jiang Yan originally had a fiery figure, but she was always relatively conservative in her heart. As for Long Er, although she still hasn't had any emotional or physical relationship with any man to this day, she is after all engaged in a very special profession - that of an assassin. An assassin needs to know how to lurk and hide their identity; many times, making small sacrifices is also understandable. Just like when Luo Lin and Long Er first met on a street in the night market of Zongzhou City, Long Er had disguised herself as a seductive bar girl, and being ogled by men was unavoidable. Of course, Long Er still felt very repulsed by this; after all, she deeply hoped that only the man she liked and loved would have the right to touch her.
However, the many roles she played allowed her to unintentionally grasp the psychology of people from all walks of life and various professions, which made her mature a lot. To say that, she is more mature than Jiang Yan of the same age. At least, if Jiang Yan were to compete with Long Er, putting aside fighting skills, just relying on cleverness and strategy, Jiang Yan would absolutely not be a match.
So, in a stare that lasted less than three seconds, Jiang Yan quickly conceded defeat. This was to be expected, because even though Jiang Yan was a hot-blooded detective who often charged into the fray on the front lines, she was no match for a ruthless killer who had actually taken lives.
"What are you looking at?" The mountain cat's voice was a little small, and it naturally reminded Long'er, who had been staring at the position behind him since just now. Although it was only for an instant, it was caught by the mountain cat.
Long'er's face quickly showed a smiling expression, one smooth and delicate white hand gently grasped his chin, and said in a slightly casual low voice: "Hehe, nothing, just that behind you, there is a 'Mountain Eagle', and it's a female."
"Zuò Shān Diāo" is the jargon of hitmen, referring to detectives. And when Long'er says "cī de", it naturally reveals the gender of this detective. As a professional hitman, Long'er has extremely sharp eyesight and can spot the unhideable aura that detectives have. Based on this alone, he can quickly pinpoint Jiang Yan's identity.
The mountain cat slightly furrowed its brow and whispered with a slight curl of its lip: "Who are you coming for?"
"Don't worry, it's not us." Long'er gently stroked the hair on her forehead with a charming gesture, her voice still soft and low. "From what I see, they should be on a date, but we'll need to be careful later. After all, there are detectives around, and if things get loud, it won't be easy to slip away."
The mountain cat nodded.
Actually, the voices of Long Er and Shan Mao were very small, basically only they two could hear them. However, Luo Lin's auditory sensitivity was extremely high, he could clearly hear the conversation between Shan Mao and Long Er, he didn't know professional terms such as "Zuo Shan Diao", but he was attracted by Long Er's voice. After listening carefully, he quickly thought of the owner of this voice.
Dragon son? ?
Hehe, what a coincidence. I didn't expect this little girl to also come to Baiyang City. So, the identity of that man who accompanied her is now obvious.
Just now, he felt that this "mountain eagle" and the like should be a secret term used by a certain industry. Now it seems that Long Er is executing some kind of task. The man with the duck tongue hat who was leaning against his back, to be honest, had been giving Lorrin a very direct sense of oppression from the moment he sat down. This oppressive feeling, since his rebirth, had never been felt before. His intuition told him that this person's strength was definitely not weak and absolutely far surpassed Long Er's. It's likely that with his strength, he is probably a member of the Tiān Yǎn organization internally.
As Lorraine knew it, the general missions sent out by the organization of Tiānyǎn were supposed to be completed by one person. If there were two people, then the difficulty of this mission would be extraordinary.
Two people disguised as a couple sit in Jia Ren You Yue Lovers' Restaurant, guessing that there is an extraordinary figure in this restaurant.
Lorin's face revealed a hint of seriousness. Just now, a big shot had arrived at the Jia Ren You Yue restaurant. And that big shot was none other than Ma Lei, one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital! Although this guy was Lorin's enemy in his past life, Ma Lei's arrogant face was deeply etched in Lorin's mind. It was this Ma Lei who had smashed several hundred million of Lorin's money when he gave Hua Xiang a car in his past life. This grudge, now that Lorin had been reborn with such a temperament, could naturally be swallowed. But what he couldn't swallow was the arrogant attitude of Ma Lei and the other three young masters of the Capital. The decline of the Luo family was due to each and every one of them!
There is only one thing that Lorraine can't quite understand. In his previous life, Mali was still active in various business circles and gatherings until Lorraine fell to the bottom of the lake and died. Now, with Long'er and the mysterious male assassin appearing here, aren't they just going to stir up a storm? Or is it that after his rebirth, all sorts of things happened, leading to the butterfly effect, causing some inevitable development trends in the future to become unstable?
However, Lorrine knew that thinking about these things was also useless, and it was just self-deception. He still existed, and he was always an outlier, whether the future was certain or uncertain, he had to survive better. Would he fail without expectations for the future? Lorrine didn't think so. He clearly understood that what was more important was his strength.
As for today's matter, there are also many uncertain factors. But no matter who loses, it has nothing to do with Lorraine. If Mare is eliminated, it would be a good thing for Lorraine, and the only remaining direct enemies in the future would be the other three young masters of the capital. And if he doesn't get eliminated, Lorraine still needs to work hard to improve his strength, so that when they meet again, he will have the qualifications and ability to fight against him.
His only concern was that something might happen to Long'er.
Although in Lorrin's eyes, Long'er was still a very mysterious woman. However, this woman had also helped him before. Their relationship wasn't deep, but it wasn't superficial either. Lorrin wouldn't abandon someone who had helped him or had a connection with him. Only, what would happen tonight, he couldn't know, and he hoped it wouldn't be too troublesome.
At this moment, he just needs to pretend not to know Long Er.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Luo Lin said with a hint of playful teasing, pretending to be nonchalant as he joked with Jiang Yan, "I see you've been staring at something behind me, are you checking out the handsome guy or something?"
"Looking at the beauty." Jiang Yan withdrew her gaze, and her intuition told her that the woman who was eyeing her was not an ordinary person. That enchanting aura with a hint of fierce energy? Or sharp energy? She couldn't quite put it into words, but she knew this woman wasn't simple. However, she wasn't Wonder Woman, so she didn't bother herself with such trivial matters. She quickly composed herself and was brought back to reality by Luo Lin's words, then took a sip of juice and casually said...
"Beautiful woman? No matter how beautiful, she's not as beautiful as my sister Yan... " Luolin chuckled and changed the subject, knowing that the beauty he was referring to must be Long'er.
"I see that you're quite skilled with your mouth." Jiang Yan's face lit up with delight, being praised by the man she loved for her beauty was an extremely proud thing, and it was in comparison to a woman whose beauty was not inferior to hers. She smiled and pouted, scolding him with a sentence.
"Sister Yan, don't jump to conclusions, I have many good qualities... Let me show you another day." Luolin slightly shrugged her shoulders.
Jiang Yan looked at Luo Lin's sly and cunning smile, and her face suddenly turned red for no reason. She pouted and said: "Hey, you little stinker, don't think about unhealthy things! You just pulled my hand once, and now you're taking advantage of the situation, aren't you?"
Lorraine smiled and blinked her eyes: "Yan sister, where are you going? I said my brain is better... Alas, this world is really... It seems that I accidentally got on the wrong boat..."
"Get lost!" Jiang Yan went up and pinched a handful of Luo Lin's face.
At this time, Long Er saw Jiang Yan's ambiguous action at the same time, and also clearly heard Luo Lin's voice. His body shape hesitated slightly, and then his gaze quickly followed Luo Lin's speaking voice, but unfortunately was blocked by the mountain cat's shadow.
"Lower your head a bit." Long'er suddenly whispered to Shanmao.
The mountain cat was unclear, and when it lowered its head slightly, Lorrine's back, which had become much more robust than a few months ago, was seen clearly by Long'er. Although he looked less weak than before, a person's temperament and aura cannot be changed with their appearance and figure. Almost as soon as he saw this back, Long'er had an answer in his heart. He didn't expect to see Lorrine so easily in Baiyang City. And... looking at the beautiful woman sitting across from him who seemed to be a criminal police officer, were they in a romantic relationship?
Long'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly at this thought, but then immediately relaxed, as if there was no emotional fluctuation.
She no longer thought about these useless things, worried that Lorrin would recognize herself in a moment. If so, it wouldn't be good to act tonight. But Lorrin should know his killer's identity, if he was indeed the wise man she hadn't misjudged, he should keep silent from start to finish and pretend not to recognize her. Thinking of this, Long'er felt a slight pang of sadness in her heart, but it only flashed by.
"Have you discovered something?" The mountain cat slowly raised its head and asked in a low voice, noticing the subtle changes in Long Er's expression.
"No, I was mistaken." Long Er casually responded with a sentence, but before the words had fallen, he suddenly saw a commotion coming from the entrance of the restaurant, and Shan Mao and she suddenly shifted their gaze, both looking towards the entrance!
