There are special people to take care of the dozens of bird cages hanging in the study, cleaning the cages, adding water and food, so that the birds that have been covered by cage clothes can see the sunlight for a moment.
The sky gradually darkened and the night became leisurely.
This place is very quiet. You rarely hear traffic or human voices, but you can occasionally hear the chirping of insects and birds.
“Woo——”
With their sensitive hearing, birds can hear the sound of a car's wheels rolling on the ground, clearly not far away.
“Squeak—”
The car stopped and the door opened.
The sounds of men and women talking and laughing could be heard from outside the gate.
"...Mr. Wang is amazing. He won so many games in a row."
"No, no, that place is owned by me, and it was these old friends who gave way to me."
"Mr. Wang, you are so modest~"
"Hahahaha, why do you keep calling me Mr. Wang? We've been together for a few months now. From now on, just call me Wensheng."
"Vincent~"
“Hahahahahaha…”
As the sounds of talking and laughing became clearer, a man and a woman walked into the yard.
The man, Wang Wensheng, was slightly plump and wore a white shirt with floral patterns and a huge dark blue gem ring on his thumb. He put his sturdy arms on the shoulders of the woman in his arms and lowered his head to talk and laugh with her.
The woman in his arms had a fair and shiny face, a small cheek, and smooth black hair that was permed into waves. She was born with a pair of smiling eyes, and even when she wasn't smiling, one would feel that she was smiling.
The bright red lipstick on her lips made her face look even more beautiful, like white jade.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Wang Wensheng brightly, with curled eyelashes and moving eyes.
It was as if this unprepossessing middle-aged man in front of her was all she could rely on.
Wang Wensheng sat on the sofa in the living room holding the woman in his arms, stroking her slender waist with his rough hands.
"Su Ying..."
Wang Wensheng looked down at the woman in his arms and shouted.
"Vincent?" Suying looked up at him, her eyes were moist and shiny, as if she was smiling, and her red lips were beautiful.
Wang Wensheng gazed at her affectionately.
He has small eyes, a flat nose, a rough face, and many wrinkles on his face even though he is in his forties or fifties.
Suying only held out for two seconds under such a look, but then she gave in.
She lowered her head and smiled gently, and said shyly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Wensheng's fat body leaned towards her, his rough, dark yellow face approached, and he opened his mouth as if to speak.
Suying suddenly turned her head and looked at the rows of bird cages hanging on the ceiling of the study.
"Vincent, there are so many birds here."
She said, standing up from the couch.
"Hey, you know, I only have these few hobbies." Wang Wensheng, lying on the sofa with a slightly protruding belly, continued the conversation without saying what he wanted to say just now.
Suying walked slowly into the study, her high heels making crisp sounds on the floor.
She was wearing a black tight long skirt, the hem of which was slit from the calf to the thigh. When she walked, her two delicate, white long legs were faintly visible, with exquisite curves and swaying posture.
"You've taken such good care of it. Look how pretty this bird is." Suying walked to the large and exquisite golden birdcage, looked at the light yellow bird with a slender body inside, and praised.
Just a simple compliment made Wang Wensheng laugh out loud and feel extremely satisfied.
He looked at Suying's graceful back with some fascination. He slowly approached her, put his arms around her from behind, hugged her waist with both hands, and grasped Suying's fingers with his rough, dark yellow hands and held them in his palms.
"This is a canary." Wang Wensheng said, leaning his head over and resting his chin on Suying's shoulder.
Suying's eyes narrowed slightly and she tilted her head slightly. Wang Wensheng was standing behind her and was unaware of it.
"...I've always heard people talking about canaries. It turns out that canaries look like this. They're so beautiful." Suying said with a smile.
"Such a beautiful and delicate canary can only survive if it is kept in a cage and pampered." Wang Wensheng said with a hint of meaning.
"Su Ying..."
"I want to marry you."
As Wang Wensheng spoke, he tilted his head slightly, which was resting on Suying's shoulder, buried his face in Suying's long curly hair, took a deep breath, and put his rough hand around Suying's hand, then gently kneaded it in his palm.
Suying clenched her other hand, which was not caught, into a fist, with her long nails digging into her palm with so much force that the entire nails turned white.
She bit the flesh inside her lips and stared at the canary in front of her.
The canary stood on the perch, its two round black eyes also staring at her.
Su Ying took a deep breath, and her face suddenly changed from stiff and expressionless to lively. She said jokingly, "Vincent, this is too sudden. We have only known each other for a few months."
She lowered her head, seeming shy.
"Marriage is such a big thing in life..."
"Why not? A few months is not a short time. My ex-wife and I have been divorced for several years. This family still needs a mistress to be considered a home."
"If you marry me, you will have plenty of food and clothing, no worries about food and clothing, and you can have whatever you want. Isn't that good?"
"Suying, you are so beautiful and charming, yet fragile, just like this canary. I will protect you and raise you in luxury."
Suying was silent, her eyes fixed on the canary in front of her, and she gradually became distracted.
The canary remained motionless for a long time, like a fake bird.
Suddenly, Canary tilted her head slightly and blinked.
Suying was stunned and came to her senses.
"It's so sudden, you have to give me some time to think about it~" She turned around and said to Wang Wensheng with a sweet smile.
﹉
It is late at night, three o'clock in the morning, when everyone is sleeping soundly.
In the darkness, there was a rustling sound approaching.
In the large and exquisite birdcage, the canary standing on the perch suddenly opened its eyes.
Someone comes in.
A black figure was swaying in the living room, searching everywhere and knocking gently at various places.
Originally, most birds cannot see in the dark, including canaries.
But the one in the cage was clearly different.
His eyes followed the black shadow, and his round black eyes carefully examined the shadow.
The black shadow was completely unaware and was still searching everywhere, but it seemed that he couldn't find anything. The black shadow stuck to the wall with one hand on the wall and the index and middle fingers of the other hand bent, lightly tapping the back of the hand that was pressed against the wall.
Move up and down, left and right, while tapping gently, put your ear close to the ear, and listen carefully.
“Knock, knock.”
“Knock, knock.”
“Bang, bang.”
A certain wall makes a different sound when you tap it with the back of your hand.
The black shadow paused, stopped knocking on the wall with the back of his hand, and reached out from his waist to take out something.
The object seemed to be only as wide as an index finger and slightly longer than the finger. In the dim living room, it was reflected by the faint light, giving off a hint of silver.
The shadow grasped the object, held it upright, and slowly inserted it into the wall.
The tip of the object stagnated slightly when it pierced the wall, but half of it was still inserted into the wall.
After piercing a small half of it, the black shadow changed from pinching to grasping, and pushed the object to one side. With a "sizzling" sound, the wall was cut open easily.
Of course, there is also the reason why this small piece of wall is hollow.
After cutting a palm-sized square out of the wall, the shadow reached in and fumbled around, pulling out a tiny thing.
Without time to care about anything else, he took out another object from his waist.
Canary looked closely at the object that the shadow took out from his waist. It looked like... a small camera?
The shadow inserted the object he took out from the wall into the camera, and actually turned it on and started to look at it. The faint light shone on the shadow's face, and Canary could see clearly that the man was wearing a mask.
The camera volume was turned to the minimum, and the shadow intentionally covered the camera's sound part with his palm. Even with the sensitive hearing of a canary, only the faint sound of talking coming from the camera could be heard intermittently.
"...these goods...are traded to Turtle Dove...for two million...the location is..."
"...After this batch of goods...there are three more batches...Shasha...don't mess it up...be careful...cleaned out a few traitors..."
Seeing this, the black shadow turned off the camera.
“Done!”
The dark shadow whispered.
The voice is unexpectedly young.
He separated the items and camera he had obtained from the wall and hid them on his body.
After completing the task he came here to do, the black shadow relaxed a little. He walked around and looked around, taking in the place.
Looking at the snow-white wall, the black shadow rubbed his chin and took out a marker from his arms.
"The God of Yunnan has visited here"
He wrote these words on the snow-white wall, thought for a while, and then drew a smiley face at the end.
Putting the marker back into his arms, the black shadow fixed his eyes on the dozens of bird cages hanging on the ceiling of the study.
"Hehe..." A malicious laugh came from under the mask. "Birds, you are lucky to meet me today!"
The black shadow quickly took the bird cages down from the ceiling of the study one by one and placed them on the ground. Regardless of whether they had cage covers or not, all the bird cages were placed on the ground.
The sound of birds chirping could be heard from time to time.
After the last birdcage was taken down, the black shadow spun around in place coolly and snapped his fingers.
Hold the pose for two seconds.
"Hmph, you old bastard, you take advantage of Sister Ying every day. Today, I will let all your treasures go!"
Muttering softly, the black shadow squatted down and quickly opened the doors of the bird cages on the ground one by one.
Some birds stood motionless in the cage, while others could not wait to get out of the cage, flapping their wings that had not been used for a long time, taking off with difficulty, gradually becoming free and singing happily all the way.
Birds of all shapes and sizes with different voices were released from cages. The entire living room and study were instantly filled with chaotic bird calls, and dozens of birds were flying around the room.
"This cage is the biggest, and the bird in it must be the old turtle's favorite!" The black shadow muttered to himself while looking at the canary cage.
In the cage, the pale yellow canary stared at him.
The dark shadow opened the large and exquisite cage.
The canary looked down at the ground, jumped down from its perch, and walked out of the cage slowly, not in a hurry.
And he can't fly yet.
There were lights on outside the house, and finally someone heard the chaotic and loud bird calls, noticed the commotion here, and rushed over.
"Tsk... you're so slow." The black shadow curled his lips in disdain, clapped his hands and stood up.
Then he quickly walked to the door, opened it, and walked out with a swagger.
"Who is it?"
There were shouts coming from outside the door, and the sound of someone pulling out his gun from its holster and opening the safety catch.
“Good man!”
The dark shadow shouted, and the voice gradually drifted away.
After a few gunshots, nothing was hit except scaring the birds in the room and making a few more holes on the door lintel.
The black shadow was extremely fast, like a ghost, and had disappeared without a trace.
