At night, the warm light of the desk lamp shone on the desk. William raised his hand and turned over the pages. It was Stendhal's "Red and Black". At the same time, he was sorting out the plan in his mind.

Tomorrow is the dance party of Salome Company, so we must ensure that everything is within the scope of calculation, so that nothing goes wrong.

"On the abyss of evil, there are beautiful illusions floating everywhere, which can easily erode people who cannot see the truth clearly. Once they step into it, they will fall into madness at any time." The crimson pupils are hidden in the shadows, appearing dim.

"You...can you bear it, classmate Xiaoying?"

On the other side, Du Ruoying was also making serious preparations, even putting a brooch on the expensive dress she bought recently, in order to hide the pinhole camera.She has already made up her mind to take this rare opportunity to capture ironclad evidence of William's illegal transactions. Only in this way can she add a little bit of chips to the future game.

Du Ruoying couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed when she thought of how William would be devastated because of this ironclad evidence.

Of course, this coolness didn't last long.

Different from the last time we were guests, this time there is a strict security check procedure. Not to mention pinhole cameras, even ordinary electronic devices such as mobile phones and electronic watches cannot escape the fate of being confiscated. If you want to bring a camera into the The field, unless there is a press card for appointment registration, and Du Ruoying naturally does not have one.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoying," Keya who came to greet her explained to her, "There are many people with special identities among the guests. For safety and etiquette considerations, it is a last resort to do this."

"Ahaha, it's okay." Du Ruoying said so, but in fact, she was almost regretful. She regretted that she didn't discuss the countermeasures with Bai Qirun in advance, but it's too late to regret now.

William on the side watched everything silently.Although the security inspector didn't say why she took away her brooch, he could imagine what was hidden there.Regarding her carefulness, he just smiled slightly, and then took her hand naturally.

Du Ruoying glanced at his schadenfreude look, and wanted to shake off his hand with some displeasure, but it was held even tighter.

"Why?" she asked angrily.

"Since you're here," William whispered softly, "play the role of a lover with me, and don't make people suspicious anymore."

Emmm...

It makes sense, but it sounds so unpleasant!

Du Ruoying forced herself to put away her grievances, took William's hand, and walked into the venue with him.

They first passed a bustling lawn, where rich pastries were placed on the long open-air tables, and a runway and a shed were set up in the center, and there were chattering people everywhere, including some celebrities.

She recognized the star closest to her, Ai Ze, with short dark chestnut hair, light sapphire eyes, three-dimensional and soft facial features, and obvious features of Chinese-French mixed race.At this moment, he was chatting happily with a model, his tone sounded innocent and elegant.

Speaking of which, there is a poster of Ai Ze posted on the door of my dormitory, which was put up by the dormitory head in the name of "covering the paint marks on the dormitory door".Thanks to her, Du Ruoying listened to Ai Ze's songs a lot in the dormitory, and she was so brainwashed that she almost hummed:

"You just like special drugs

I will never stop it...”[1]

Fortunately, his songs are usually mixed in Chinese, English and French at the same time. They are nice but difficult to learn, and it is not easy to hum them completely.

"If you can secretly take a picture of Aize and show it off in the dormitory, it will surely make other people crazy with envy, right?"

Du Ruoying couldn't help thinking like this for a moment.

Then the next moment, he remembered the cruel fact that his mobile phone and camera were taken away.

Until then, she suddenly understood what Keya said—if she really brought things like pinhole cameras in, Aize and the others would undoubtedly be troubled.

"Sister Keya," a young woman in a black dress and long skirt suddenly pulled Keya to a corner of the veranda and whispered, "Did you find out what I asked you to do for me last time?"

Du Ruoying pricked up her ears curiously.

"Boss Pei, you are too impatient," Keya said unhurriedly, "How dare I neglect the matter you entrusted to me? "

"Oh my good sister, don't be a fool if you find out. Are you trying to die in a hurry? Tell me quickly!"

"It's April [-]st." Keya covered her mouth and smiled.

"April [-]? Is it true?" The other party was taken aback.

"He said it himself, if you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."

"Why do you have your birthday on such a day? It always gives people a feeling of being fooled. Besides, it's still far away from April [-]st..."

"Can't you just find another reason to give him a gift?"

Hearing their conversation, Du Ruoying felt like her mind exploded - of course she knew what they were talking about, they were talking about William's birthday!

It's no wonder that when Keya deliberately tricked her into asking her questions like "Do you remember your lover's birthday?", it turned out that she was trying to help others!

This shrewd woman really underestimated her!

But who is this "Boss Pei"?To make Keya willing to sell favors, the company she owns should not be too small, but she seems to be about the same age as herself...

"She is the eldest daughter of the Pei family, and she hasn't taken the helm of her own business for long," William explained in a low voice, "She has studied in France and has a very good education. She is called the 'number one talented woman' by the outside world."

"France... have you ever studied in France?!" Du Ruoying was stunned, "Could it be—"

"Hush..." William's index finger suddenly pressed against her lips, "It's too early to jump to conclusions."

Du Ruoying nodded silently.

Crossing the lawn, under the guidance of the waiter, the two entered the banquet hall.

Du Ruoying almost bumped into a person head-on. When she looked up, the person was wearing a loose black and white color-block shirt. A thin strand of black hair hung from the back of his neck, reaching to the collarbone. It was as light as nothing. The corner of his mouth was like a cat, smiling naturally. Her lips and narrow eyes were slightly red, so seductive that she was almost seductive.

"It's a new face." The other party narrowed his eyes happily, evoking a mischievous smile, obviously deliberately approaching Du Ruoying to bump into him, "What's your name?"

"Tianshu, it's because you are ignorant." Behind him, a woman in a red dress and long skirt stepped forward, "This is a recently famous girl detective from Beiyu University, her name is Du Ruo. Ying - am I right?"

Du Ruoying was stunned by this gorgeous woman for a moment, and it took a while to react: "No... that's right... no, it's not as exaggerated as the news said, ah ha ha..."

"So he's a detective, that's really powerful." The boy called Tianshu licked his lower lip eagerly.

He was about to continue talking, but Du Ruoying looked towards the dark place at the stairs in surprise—from a distance, she saw Li Mo, who was carrying a huge suitcase with a strange man wearing a brass mask, ready to go upstairs.

Du Ruoying ran over quickly: "School Li Mo!"

"Why are you here?" Li Mo put down the suitcase in astonishment.

Du Ruoying's eyes wandered from side to side, and finally landed on this strange masked man: "Who is this?"

"My... Dad..." Li Mo gritted his teeth, blushing and said, "He is now Teacher Qi Tianshu's manager."

Du Ruoying looked at the manager carefully. His upper half of the face was covered by a brass mask, only showing the face below the nose. That face looked very young, probably no more than 30 years old.A pair of dark-brown pupils could be seen through the holes in the mask, but Du Ruoying could tell at a glance that they were fake - they were disguised by colored contact lenses.

Although the other party was wearing a pair of white gloves, Du Ruoying could tell that under her gaze, the other party was holding the luggage tighter and tighter.

"Before...he experienced a fire, his face was disfigured, and he lost his voice." Li Mo continued to explain.

"Huh?" Du Ruoying frowned, "Is your father actually such a persona? How do I remember—" She suddenly realized, "Ah..."

"What's the matter?" Qi Tianshu, who sensed the abnormal atmosphere, walked towards this side quickly.

Under the mask, Sherlock began to sweat on his forehead.He knew that as long as Du Ruoying called out the name "Sherlock Holmes" in public, this mission would be over.

"No, I'm just too surprised," Du Ruoying turned around and explained, "I didn't expect to meet my junior and his father here."

"That's right, that's really a coincidence, they are my manager and assistant." Qi Tianshu nodded with a smile, "I knew it, I have a good relationship with classmate Xiaoying."

"Ahaha... Yes, it's very destined." Du Ruoying looked away guiltily, but her face began to turn red and hot.

"It's Sherlock, and Sherlock is here too! I'm so happy!"

The only person who can understand her mood right now is William. She turns to see William's reaction, but finds that he is not by her side.

A pleasant piano sound sounded at the right time, and more and more people surrounded the piano in the hall. Du Ruoying recognized that it was William's piano sound, so she went through the thick wall of people and came to the innermost circle, but was astonished. Suddenly, William was playing four-handed play with the "Boss Pei" who had inquired about his birthday.The two looked up at each other from time to time, and sometimes crossed the positions of their hands, which seemed to be very tacit understanding.

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause from around.

"sounds amazing!"

"Bravo!"

"A match made in heaven!"

"Collaborate on an album, I'll help you write songs!"

"Oh, I didn't record the whole thing just now, please do another song!"

"Oh, one more! One more!"

Surrounded by all kinds of beautiful words, the two people who couldn't get over their hospitality began to play the second song again.

The melodious note, coupled with his gentle smile that could melt the glacier, suddenly turned into a sharp dagger, cutting Du Ruoying's heart with a faint pain.

He clearly knew that William was just collecting information to find out Madame Butterfly, playing on the spot.

I know it, but I'm still very unhappy.

"It's so childish, myself..."

She lowered her head and stopped looking at the dazzling them. Like an inconspicuous ugly duckling, she silently withdrew from the crowd and went to the balcony alone.

The breeze came blowing towards her face with a faint smell of smoke, and only then did she realize that there was another person standing on the balcony——

It's Sherlock!

Sherlock noticed her appearance, but didn't say anything, just knocked on the railing with his index finger. Du Ruoying saw that it was a Morse code:

"You look very well dressed today."

Du Ruoying knew that Sherlock didn't have a legal identity yet and needed to hide herself, so she chose to wear gloves and a mask, pretending to be unable to speak.

So she also walked to the railing, turned her back to the crowd, and responded to him in the same way: "Thank you."

"Lian picked it for you?"

"Ah."

"His clothes are always good."

But Du Ruoying didn't want to talk about William now, so she changed the topic: "Why do you say that you are Li Mo's father? This kind of lie is not wise."

"Isn't there an old saying in your country, 'A teacher for a day, a father for life' or something, I teach him fighting now, rounded up, he can be regarded as half of his 'father'..." Sherlock continued to knock casually , "No, in fact, I just felt at the time that the other party would not believe anything anyway, so just say something casually."

Hearing this, Du Ruoying couldn't help laughing.

"So it's not that difficult to coax a girl." Sherlock also raised the corner of his mouth, "It's just repaying the favor you helped me hide my identity before—but this guy should still be charged with Lian .”

Seeing that he typed William's name again, Du Ruoying's smile disappeared instantly: "Don't talk about him, okay?"

"Don't worry, you are a special existence in his eyes, you are not something that can be easily replaced by those smeared guys, there is no need to be unhappy, although he really likes duplicity..." Sherlock tapped quickly, while sharply Capturing the change of Du Ruoying's expression, "What? You don't believe it?"

"Um……"

She said that William was duplicity, of course she believed it, after all, this guy always brags and doesn't write drafts, and he doesn't even blink his eyes when he makes up a lie.

But, to say she's special...

What's special, isn't it that it has special use value?

"Then I'll do an experiment for you." Sherlock smiled happily, pulled her in front of him, pursed his lips, and kissed her on the cheek. Before Du Ruoying could react, a bird came from nowhere. The outstretched hand forced his head to one side.

"Ah, there are mosquitoes." The other party said indifferently.

It's William.

"Unfortunately, the mosquito didn't catch it. I'm really sorry." William apologized with a half-smile, then grabbed Sherlock's collar and whispered next to his ear, "Do this kind of boring experiment for me again, I will announce your identity and let the security guards throw you out~"
