“Wow, you’re a, Sister-in-law” Xia Xue looked excited
Liang Si-Yao giggled; it see called ‘sister-in-law’
Xia Lei went straight fro
After work, Liang Si-Yao ith Xia Lei to his place and she did not tell Xia Lei to make dinner this time She went into the kitchen of her own initiative Xia Xue also went to the kitchen to help It looked like the future sisters-in-laere getting along rather well
Xia Lei went to the balcony while the to but the street laht seemed to be in between clear and blurry
Xia Lei swept the surroundings with his gaze but did not find anything out of the ordinary He looked at the road outside the walls of the neighbourhood last
Cars came and went on the road and there were quite a nu looked normal Xia Lei mocked himself internally, ‘Who did I want to see, then? A killer? Or an agent sent by the CIA? I’ve settled the matters that I should have settled - why aet used to the sudden caler
Just at that moment, a black motorcycle came slowly from the other side of the road Xia Lei did not take particular note of this motorcycle or its rider but the motorcycle went slower and slower, till it finally stopped in a position parallel to the balcony he was on
The rider took off the hel a head of blonde hair
Xia Lei was stunned when he saw the rider’s face clearly
This woht in Paris coffee shop! The blonde Russian woman who had made him lose the trail of that mysterious man!
The Russian wo on the balcony
Xia Lei’s first irab hold of her and ask her the whereabouts of that mysterious man who looked exactly like his father However, he knew that there was no way he could catch up to her if he did that She hadn’t even got off the motorcycle and could escape in a burst of speed
‘Why did she turn up here? What is she planning to do?’ These thoughts sprang to Xia Lei’s arettes and selected one, but threw it on the ground after just one drag She then put her helht with a burst of speed
There was no way for Xia Lei to pursue her now
“What’re you looking at?” Liang Si-Yao appeared behind Xia Lei
“A strange person” Xia Lei replayed the scene of the Russian woarette in his head He found her e person? Who?” Liang Si-Yao stood next to Xia Lei and looked about
“Brother, Sister-in-law, time to eat,” came Xia Xue’s voice
Xia Lei walked to the door instead and said, “I’ll be right back”
“Brother, it’s ti?” asked Xia Xue curiously
Xia Lei said nothing; he opened the door and went out
“What’s wrong withSi-Yao
“I don’t know I’ll go take a took Be right back” Liang Si-Yao went after Xia Lei
Xia Lei ran quickly out of the gates of his neighbourhood and to the roadside where the Russian woarette butt It was still s but he quickly saw that the filter was not a normal filter - there was a rolled up paper note in it
Xia Lei took the paper out and opened it On it ritten one line: Meet shan Public Cemetery
When he saw the content of the note, the face of his father, Xia Chang-He, appeared in his head and he thought, ‘This woether She’s asking me to meet her so does thisSi-Yao suddenly poked her head fro?”
Xia Lei was still thinking about the mysterious man and the Russian wo Si-Yao approaching at all She had already read the contents of the note by the time he’d realised and it was too late to hide it
“Someone asked to meet me Uh, you don’t have to bother about this,” said Xia Lei He had not even told Xia Xue all that he knew about Xia Chang-He so he naturally did not want Liang Si-Yao to get involved either
Liang Si-Yao smiled “I’m not a busybody Coo back or the food will get cold”
Xia Lei crumpled the note into a ball and shoved it in his trouser pocket, then put his ar Si-Yao’s slender waist as they walked to the entrance of the neighbourhood
