The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 517, Body Search
While Damian was frisking her, Kong Xiyan wasn't idle either. She stretched her shoulders and looked at Annie, who had changed into an evening gown and was wearing exquisite makeup. She gave her a thumbs-up and said, "Very beautiful."
"Thank you." Anne blinked and couldn't help but glance in Damian's direction.
"Give me your gun." Kong Xiyan pointed at the hem of Annie's skirt. "This skirt is made of good material. It drapes well and has a high gloss. It complements your skin tone very well. But precisely because of this, it's not suitable for hiding a gun. It will ruin the smoothness of the overall reflection and won't fool the eyes of an expert."
"Is that so?" Annie sighed with regret, lifted her skirt, unhooked the gun hidden inside, and handed it to Kong Xiyan: "I didn't choose this one originally. Marco took the initiative and changed it privately."
To be honest, this dress does look better, but it is a bit restrictive for assassination purposes.
The big skirt she had before was much better. She could have hidden ten guns in it and no one would have noticed.
Kong Xiyan gave an understanding smile. If it was Marco Wilson, then even the most outrageous things would seem reasonable!
That person naturally exudes an unreliable temperament.
She could even imagine the smug smile on Marco's face after he had done this. He felt that he had chosen a dress that was more suitable for his daughter and that he had done a perfect thing!
"This one's for you." Kong Xiyan handed the silver pocket semi-automatic pistol she had taken from the attacker to Annie. "I checked it before, and there are only two 9mm short bullets in it. You should use them sparingly."
"Thank you." Annie nodded gratefully, adjusted her skirt, and looked at Zhong Yangyang and the others. "How is it? Can't tell anymore?"
"We didn't notice it before..." Zhong Yangyang's mouth twitched. "You don't think the three of us are so-called...experts, do you?"
Kong Zhishan and Stella nodded in agreement.
"Sorry, I overthought it." Annie smiled, every move showing her elegance.
"A cell phone, a voice recorder, and a small bag of diamonds." Damian walked out and leaned against the door. "And an empty pocket gun holster."
"A small bag of diamonds?" Kong Xiyan was a little surprised. Why did that person have diamonds on him?
Stolen?
Or...are we going to make some kind of deal tonight?
Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Yes, there's your voice in the recorder." Damian threw the recorder to Kong Xiyan with a subtle expression: "There's something else, you can handle it yourself."
"Okay." Kong Xiyan nodded without understanding Damian's expression. "Where's your phone?"
"It's blank, with only a virtual number. That number is disposable and only supports a single call. The other party is very cautious." Damian nodded. "It's professional."
"I understand." Kong Xiyan said, "You can change into his clothes."
"What?" Damian was stunned. "I never told you I was going to do this!"
"What better way to confuse the public and protect Stella than to disguise yourself as one of their people?" Kong Xiyan smiled. "Damian, what do you think?"
"I...I said...I said..." Damian choked for a long time and only said: "Be a human being!"
Then he went in angrily to change his clothes.
The cunning Oriental man went too far, actually using Stella's safety as a bargaining chip.
Fortunately, the man's body shape was similar to Damian's, so the clothes he changed into were suitable.
"I say, will this work?" Damian moved his shoulders uncomfortably. Although his figure and hair color were similar to that man, his appearance was nothing like that of the other man.
"Don't worry." Kong Xiyan put the man's phone in Damian's pocket: "Someone will use this phone to contact you later. Those people won't know each other."
"How do you know?" Damian asked, puzzled.
"Annie, do you know that person from before?" Kong Xiyan looked at Annie.
"I've seen her at the manor, but I didn't recognize her at all." Annie shook her head after carefully recalling the past and said, "To be honest, after arriving here, I only knew that Xia was mine. The rest of us were just phone calls. We've never met in person."
"Right~" Kong Xiyan shrugged at Damian: "I guess that's it."
The Master was a cautious and confident man; he would not allow these pieces to communicate privately.
As a chess player, as long as he can control the overall situation, that's enough.
Even to the Master, these chess pieces may just exist with a code name.
"It's really hard to judge." Kong Zhishan narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the voice. "I don't know what to say about this person. How confident is he to be like this?"
"Won't you know it when you see it?" Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her lips.
"Sister!" Zhong Yangyang narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Remember, don't meddle in other people's business!"
This time she must keep an eye on Kong Xiyan and not let her get involved in any danger easily.
"Got it." Kong Xiyan gave a non-standard Italian military salute.
Seeing Kong Xiyan like this, Zhong Yangyang shook his head helplessly.
"By the way, where is Xiaoxiao?" Kong Xiyan looked around.
"Tonight's banquet was very lively. Xiaoxiao said she wanted to film the scene and the layout first. If possible, she would also host a live broadcast to introduce the scene to fans. She has already contacted the Wilson family." Zhong Yangyang nodded with satisfaction. "Thanks to the video data and official feedback from Xing Ertang's promotion, they quickly granted authorization and cooperated very well. Of course, my sister's support was also indispensable."
"Be good." Kong Xiyan replied casually, then her beautiful eyes moved slightly as if she remembered something and reminded him, "Contact Qin Muyu. I need a high-definition backup file of the original footage from tonight's live broadcast."
What if I can capture something interesting?
"No problem." Zhong Yangyang made an OK gesture.
She could just agree to this little thing.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Someone came to remind Anne that it was almost time.
"Got it." Annie responded, took a deep breath, looked around at everyone in the room, and nodded. "Thank you for your help tonight. If possible, I hope I can thank you in person after this party."
After saying this, Anne looked at Stella deeply again, but her gaze seemed to be looking through Stella at another person who was so intimate and yet so distant.
My Alice...
