C15 Bar Pickup
Wei Tianyuan stared at the taxi leaving. His right hand used to stroke the necklace on his neck, but a trace of patience flashed across his eyes.
That woman was absolutely not as simple as she appeared to be, but was she really the woman he had been looking for all these years? Humph. Sooner or later he would know.
Wei Tianyuan stared into the distance and coldly twitched his lips. However, his eyes flashed with the light that he was determined to win.
Qi Baiyu, who stood at the side, saw this scene clearly. She had never seen Wei Tianyuan act so crazily before. Was Shen Qi really that Abigail? Qi Baiyu silently looked in the direction Shen Qi had left and sunk her fingers deep into her palms. However, Shen Qi couldn't calm down either. Qi Baiyu's fiancé was Wei Tianyuan, the father of her daughter, and the organization wanted her to ruin their wedding.
Closing her eyes tiredly, she had just returned from a long journey and was shocked. She really didn't know why she had accepted this quest so unexpectedly. Was it fate? Shen Qi felt that her life was simply full of drama. To be able to let her encounter such a worthless thing, she really didn't know if Buddha came to test her because she didn't burn incense in her previous life.
The chaotic situation and uneasy thoughts made Shen Qi unable to calm down. Right now, she just wanted to find a place to settle her worries, so when the taxi driver asked her where she was going, she actually mentioned the bar Murong Linglan told her about.
The bar was filled with explosive music and hot dancers. The moment she entered, Shen Qi seemed to suddenly relax. She ordered a cocktail and sat at the bar, but Wei Tianyuan's face still kept flashing across her mind.
If she had known this would happen back home, she might not have come back for the rest of her life. Because what this place brought her was only painful memories and nightmares.
The deafening sounds of explosions rang out, but Shen Qi seemed to be able to gain instant peace in this environment. The turmoil in the outside world made her even more clear-headed. Shen Qi was holding a goblet, staring at the blue liquid under the dim light. Suddenly, someone bumped into her from behind and dropped the goblet on the bar, scaring the drinkers beside her.
The crisp cracking sounds caused a chain reaction within the bar, and the frightened people nearby poured wine onto the serving maid, followed by cries of surprise and more sounds of shattering wine glasses. Even the dancing crowd on the dance floor was not spared.
DJ, who was wearing earphones, forgot to tune his voice, but at this moment, a pleasant, neutral voice rang in Shen Qi's ear. "Sorry." A cool breeze brushed against her face, and before Shen Qi could react, the person who bumped into her turned around and glanced at her. The instant the shadow passed by her, she saw a face as beautiful as a doll's.
"Halt!" Four muscular Europeans in suits followed her and chased after her.
The bar soon recovered its liveliness under the music from the DJ. The small episode was soon forgotten by the crowd. All that was left was a woman's ring with a wine-red gem that Shen Qi picked up from the bar.
If he didn't guess wrongly, this ring must have been dropped by that person just now. Judging from the quality and size of this ring, a person who came to a bar with such a ring must be either rich or a thief! Judging from that person's reaction and how he was chased just now, tsk, it seems like he was chased because he stole the ring, right? However, all of this had nothing to do with her. The ring in her hand glowed with a dark light, and the exquisite workmanship made Shen Qi unable to stop herself from carefully examining it.
After weighing the ring, Shen Qi put it on her ring finger and found that the size was just right. It was as if it was custom-made for her.
"Alright! I'll keep it for you for now! " Shen Qi accepted the ring happily. She was no longer as depressed as before.
She had never given the ring to the police. After all, with her other identity, she had never intended to get too close to them.
In any case, she could not reject the organization's mission. The only thing she could do now was to take things one step at a time. If possible, she really did not want to hurt Qi Baiyu, who had once saved her life.
Just as she was about to leave the bar after drinking this wine, her phone rang. The two words "Little Devil" flashed on the screen, making Shen Qi rush out of the bar with her bag. How could she have forgotten to promise her daughter that she would return home early! "Hey, darling …" Shen Qi answered the phone after walking to a quiet place.
"Mommy, where did you go?! Did you run away because you met your own Soulmate? Mommy, you can't do this! You have to bring him back for Yier to see! Or do you not want Yier anymore, Mommy? " Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Yier's questions and fantasies stopped her. Shen Qi helplessly rolled her eyes. She really didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky to have such a lucky daughter.
