In the clubhouse on the top floor of Yan Gui Chao Hotel on Luocheng Street in Yanjing City, there were only two people in the huge room. One had an oriental face and looked middle-aged. The most conspicuous thing was the hooked nose on his face that looked like it could cut people.

The other was a western man in military uniform. He was tall, handsome, with deep eyes and a straight nose. He was a standard foreign hunk.

"Mr. Saul, it seems that a soldier of your senior regiment is not that good?"

The middle-aged man with a hooked nose was lying on an antique wooden couch, with the extravagant demeanor of a wealthy tycoon in feudal society. He smoked a hookah slowly and lazily, and said calmly and slightly mockingly: "The whole world says that you Israelis are the smartest, but the tricks of replacing the pillars in our rotten streets of China work so well for you. I really don't know what to say."

Saul, the only other person in the room, was a European man. He touched his hard stubble with his hand, and said without any joy or anger due to the other party's ridicule: "That is the famous Tianran, the sixth-ranked soldier in the world."

"Mr. Saul, are you so sure that the little bodyguard surnamed Zhao from the Sun family is the so-called sixth king of soldiers?" the middle-aged man asked, "You haven't even seen a photo of that man yet."

The military man said, "No need to look, Xue Niu, that idiot, has already proved it for me with his most powerful Bloody Black Rose. I don't believe there is anyone else in the world who can kill dozens of high-level mercenaries in armor with one punch except Tianlan."

"What about the knife wound? How do you explain the knife wound?" the middle-aged Chinese man asked.

"Before Xue Niu died, he told me that Tianlan might have reached a cooperation with the second king of assassins. Judging from the annihilation of the Bloody Black Rose, such a combination of two people does make sense." Saul said.

The middle-aged man suddenly put down his cigarette and sat up, with a strange smile under his deep, hooked nose: "Mr. Saul, since you already knew that Mr. Xue Niu would never come back if he met those two people, why didn't you try to dissuade him?"

"Dissuade him?"

Saul sneered, "Xue Niu is Xue Niu, I am me, and my Lieyang Mercenary Corps has nothing to do with him. Why should I dissuade him?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were wise, and he said sarcastically again, "I'm afraid Mr. Saul knows in his heart that Mr. Xue Niu's Tulip Corps is a first-class mercenary army, and your Lieyang is just a second-rate elite. They are not qualified to have an equal dialogue with Mr. Xue Niu. You can't dissuade him even if you want to, right?"

"You Chinese are really mean when you talk." Saul said.

"It's just so-so, same with you."

The middle-aged man lay back on the wooden couch, picked up his pipe and continued to relax.

Thor looked indifferent and whispered, "But Xue Niu's initiative to be a cannon fodder also gave me another piece of information. The second-ranked killer king doesn't seem to be in a good condition. Otherwise, he could have dealt with most of the bloody elites with his famous sword, and Tianlan would not have used that trick. As far as I know, Tianlan's Collapse Mountain Fist is often used in critical situations."

"So what?"

The middle-aged man smoking the water pipe looked absent-minded.

Saul said, "This morning, Tianlan evacuated all his men from Yanjing, but the Second Assassin and his detective were not among the team. I guess he might have sent that man to investigate the case you were trying to cover up, and the Second Assassin should have been protecting that kid for Tianlan."

"Mr. Saul wants to cut in from the side?" the middle-aged man asked.

"You seem to call it a sneak attack," Saul said.

The middle-aged man shook his head. The term "sneak attack" was not very appropriate here.

"We spent a lot of money to invite Mr. Thor and Mr. Xue Niu. Mr. Xue Niu and his elite team were decimated just as the operation began. So Mr. Thor, please don't be too confident and take it easy."

"Mr. Zhao is really humorous. Didn't Xue Niu take the initiative to ask for help? The price you paid to hire an elite team of the first-class legion is only the price of a second-rate mercenary army, right?"

"But Mr. Zhao and your friends can rest assured. I'm not Xue Niu, and I'm not as conceited as him. I didn't use heavy weapons when I saw the perfect geographical opportunity, but I chose to use cold weapons, which made me die with regret."

Thor got up and walked outside, saying, "I like your Chinese proverbs very much. One of them is, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how the second soldier king is doing, I will not underestimate the enemy. As long as you can catch that kid who is a detective, your hidden danger will be solved, and you can also threaten Tianran."

The middle-aged man stopped smashing his cigarette, looked at the door, and smiled elegantly, but the sinister eagle nose made his smile difficult to look elegant, but instead looked weird.

"I've told Mr. Sol many times that my last name is not Zhao. When will you remember it?"

"What's Mr. Zhao's last name?" Sol asked.

There was a moment of silence.

Sol said, "No matter what Mr. Zhao's last name is, I only care whether the commission can be paid as agreed after the deal is done."

"Of course."

Mr. Zhao, who was smoking a hookah, no longer bothered about his last name and looked at the sturdy foreigner at the door.

"Thank you."

Sol's tough European face was very handsome, and a charming smile appeared on his face.

The two looked at each other, smiling on their faces, but hiding their evil intentions in their hearts.

...

"Well, I like Phuket. The air is especially fresh, and it's crowded but not noisy. I haven't been there for a long time."

"Jerusalem is not bad either. It's a city of pilgrimage and has a particularly religious atmosphere."

In Zhuxiyuan Villa, Sun Leling was lying on the sofa with a big and thick travel magazine in front of her. She had a pen in her mouth and was scribbling on the book from time to time. She was mumbling to herself as she was choosing places for her summer trip.

She was very relaxed now. Although there was a man in the family, the eldest lady was not constrained. A puffy vest with off-shoulder and a pair of shorts, set off her fair and tender skin, which was naturally very pleasing to the eye.

And the way she was talking to herself at this time was not only pleasing to the eye, but also very cute.

Zhao Yulin knew that she was deliberately acting cute in order to please him, so he tried not to look at her. His eyes were as empty as Helian Lingyun's. He stared at the "Postpartum Feeding of Sows" program on the agricultural channel on TV and said those two words stiffly and coldly for the 27th time:

"No."

"Why?!"

The eldest lady was a little frustrated and unhappy. She had never been rejected by anyone since she was a child. Not to mention men, even eighty-year-old ladies and six-year-old children could not bear to reject the request of such a beautiful and obedient girl.

But this stinky bodyguard of his family refuted more than 20 of her ideas in just half an hour, an average of once every minute.

Miss Sun even used the beauty trap, but it still didn't work. The rogue Zhao who spanked her in public now pretended to be a decent man, looking straight ahead, and could be called the contemporary Liu Xiahui.

"No means no, I have told you the reason several times."

Zhao Yulin gritted his teeth, completely unromantic.

In the past half hour, the eldest lady used many skills such as acting coquettishly, pestering, pretending to be pitiful, saying nice things, and being cute. His psychological defense line was on the verge of collapse, but he finally held on.

As for the reason for the refusal, it was because the places chosen by the eldest lady were all abroad, and the current situation was absolutely impossible to go abroad.

For safety reasons, Zhao Yulin could only be cruel and be a villain.

"But there's really nothing fun to do in China!"

Sun Leling didn't get angry, she just looked up and cried, feeling so sad that she couldn't help herself.

"I like to see different scenery. These attractions in China all feel the same to me. Besides, it's just the beginning of summer vacation, and the popular and unpopular attractions must be crowded. I don't want to be a dumpling!"

"If you put it that way, I have to criticize you for being pro-Western. China is vast and has many beautiful places that you have never seen. You can't be a person who sits in a well and looks at the sky, right?" Zhao Yulin replied calmly, and then borrowed the words that Chen Siyao often said: "You, little comrade, still lack party spirit!"

Sun Leling suddenly became excited and sat up with her legs crossed: "Okay! Then I will argue with you. Just name a few domestic attractions. As long as there is one disadvantage that I can't cite with reason and evidence, we will go. Otherwise, we can go abroad, okay?"

Zhao Yulin said expressionlessly: "No."

"You!"

Sun Leling bit her thin lips and frowned, her teeth itching with hatred. On the other side, Zhao Yulin continued, "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. Mr. Sun has given me the decision-making power of your summer vacation travel. In other words, without my nod, you can't even think about traveling."

The eldest lady's watery eyes slowly rose with flames, and she said word by word, "Zhao Yulin! Don't force me!"

Zhao Yulin didn't look at her, but faced the TV that taught pig-raising technology, without looking away: "What do you want?"

Sun Leling snorted coldly, wrinkled her nose and pouted, with her hands folded as if she was sulking. After thinking for a while, she really couldn't think of a way to threaten this stinky bodyguard, so her attitude softened, she went up to hug his arm, and said pitifully: "Don't be like this! I really don't want to stay at home all day during the two-month summer vacation. It's just a waste of life..."

"Then why don't we call Chen Siyao up and let the three of us vote by hand?" Zhao Yulin asked.

"Okay!"

Sun Leling agreed very readily, and was slightly excited.

In her mind, Chen Siyao was her best friend, but she and Zhao Yulin often had a tit-for-tat argument, and they were both girls, so no matter how you look at it, Chen Siyao should stand on her side.

Without Zhao Yulin running errands, Sun Leling personally went to the gym to invite Chen Siyao up. The three of them sat on each side of the sofa, briefly explained the situation, and began to raise their hands to vote.

However, reality is always cruel.

Sun Leling confidently raised her arm to agree to the option of traveling abroad, looked at Chen Siyao, and received a smile from the latter that was a mixture of apology and embarrassment.

Then when she agreed to the option of not traveling abroad, she watched her best friend defect to the enemy camp, and raised her hand with Zhao Yulin.

"That--"

Sun Leling had a hard time understanding what was happening in front of her, and said unwillingly: "It seems that I have no room to fight?"

"Hmm?"

Zhao Yulin's fleeting eyes and tone confirmed her doubts.

"Okay."

Sun Leling gave up the struggle helplessly and lost completely.
