Chapter 5, The South and North of the Nan Family (2)
Now this boy suddenly emerges from the past, appearing with an unfathomable name, making this chance visit to Taizhou increasingly beyond control
Upon returning to the room, her back was unbearably itchy. Unsure of how to address it, she was unexpectedly met by the elderly lady, who appeared as if she had foreseen the situation, holding a tube of ointment. She lay on the bed, allowing the lady to apply the medicine with a soft brush. She heard the elderly lady mention that Cheng Cheng had gone downstairs and asked them to come and see if the ointment had been spoiled due to her restless sleeping position.
I just want to take action, but there are no opportunities.
One can even feel the textured patterns of the vine wood on the surface
Yet after this faint sound, there follows a suffocating silence
Thus, she is able to come to Taizhou alone like a tourist. Just this surname alone is enough to ensure her safety and well-being
She thought for a moment and did not deliberately bring up Cheng Mu Yang
The cool and soothing sound possesses a calming magic that soothes the heart
The tip of her nose brushed against his shirt, yielding in this manner, wedged between him and the wall, unable to move.
Is it the sound of a chambered mechanism
And now, those Huanghuali trees that are currently in their growth phase will have to wait several hundred years before they can produce usable large materials
Many Southeast Asians
There are just some things that cannot be said
This is the shooting dead zone, " said Cheng Mu Yang, with a warm breath brushing past his ear, "Beibei, do not move around.
I am asking, where is Nuan Nuan's home
Who exactly has the audacity to provoke Cheng Mu Yang
However, I recalled the jade bracelet I had lost to the Shen family, and in a soft voice, I coquettishly asked, "Young master, have you seen any good jadeite recently"
The old aunt seemed to have asked her a question
The two individuals were pressed tightly together, with all the joints of their arms and legs restrained by him. She could even feel her pulse being constricted by the metal, beating rapidly, with such a tangible quality, it must have been the watch on his wrist
Closed the window, collapsed onto the wicker chair, curled up and continued to sleep
Everyone believes that the Nan family is an untouchable surname along the China-Vietnam border, but when one truly enters this market, it becomes evident that the Nan family's influence extends beyond just China and Vietnam; it also encompasses Myanmar, Laos, and even India
She squinted her eyes from the glare: "You little boss are not doing well either. If you had anticipated such matters earlier, why are you still living here?"
She never knew that if you want to completely control a person without causing harm... you must do it in this way
The injury on the back, pressed against the wooden wall, surprisingly alleviated some of the irritating itch; although it was somewhat painful, it was unexpectedly comfortable. Throughout her life, only two people had truly shielded her from danger with their bodies under gunfire.
Nan Huai smiled and said, "Why have you suddenly taken a liking to things associated with older women?"
In her life, childhood was a damp and insect-infested jungle, followed by a tranquil manor guarded by countless firearms. Those few years were, for her, exceedingly precious
Without a measure of time, she could not determine how long this confrontation had lasted
Those who dare to collect these items are mostly doing so to enrich their private museums. Limited edition products are not merely accessible through financial means, but rather signify one's status. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that the Nan family is engaged in politics rather than business.
Only then did the two part ways. He walked to the table and threw all the bullets left by Xiao Feng into the trash can
She cannot raise her head, nor can she lower it
There are often many, sometimes a village has fifty to sixty households, with more than half being international marriages. And books
It is very safe here; the entire building has the highest explosion-proof rating," Cheng Mu Yang said, "If you don't suddenly wake up, you might be able to sleep until dawn, completely unaware of anything.
Before ending the call, Nan Huai told her: "The trip to the Shen family involves a very enticing business behind it. Remember my words, you only need to return safe and sound; do not get involved in anything else."
I woke up in the morning because of my brother's late phone call
Those bright, sparkling eyes glanced over, then quickly withdrew, silently holding the gun, and silently returned to the terrace
These hands, in her memory, are very clean. The nails are always trimmed meticulously, and he enjoys holding a pure black pen, with the formulas he writes making one feel as if they are lost in a fog. He is a boy who is both coldly humorous and occasionally difficult to fathom
I should appropriately show some weakness, he made a simple assumption for her, "Look, Cheng Mu Yang has so many people around him, yet he still has to be on guard at all times. Is there something wrong with the people around him? Perhaps there really is a chance to be cornered to a dead end?"
The pale light from the freezer became the only source of illumination in the room, casting his shadow on the wall. Cheng Mu Yang wiped his hands clean, yet she did not continue, asking: "And then?"
The skin of the palm is pressed tightly against the wall
He found it interesting, opened the wall cabinet, and took out the chilled paper towels
She had no choice but to confess: "I gave away a valuable jade bracelet from the Shen family, hoping to make amends as an apology"
The man on the other end of the phone agreed to repay this favor for her
She forced herself to wake up: "What?"
He turned his head to look outside, and for a moment, only red light illuminated the contours of his profile. Fortunately, his features were not overly rugged. In such a manner, it instead gave the impression that he was merely taking a break, interrupted by someone, to enjoy the fireworks outside the window
No wonder Xiaofeng has to obediently tidy up the shell casings; only in this way can he avoid disturbing the outsiders who are sound asleep
Tonight's events reminded her of her brother from the past
And tonight, Cheng Mu Yang became the third person
It should only be the sniper providing support to the main force, or perhaps just two or three wildcats attacking
She tilted her face upward, locking eyes with the gaze just inches away: "So what are you doing? Hunting wild cats?"
She scoffed, "In the midst of turmoil and uncertainty, one still finds joy in oneself"
His fingers have a peculiar scent, and she can probably discern what it is
The sound of the shell casing dropping just now should be him manually ejecting the shell casing, rather than a slight breeze
These were her words when she once looked down upon it. At that time, I specifically hired a master for her to learn how to identify jadeite and jade artifacts. She learned with great difficulty and merely complained about it. Unexpectedly, the usually magnanimous Nan Huai remembered this trivial matter.
Nan Huai has achieved this. Otherwise, she would forever have to stay away from Wanting and could not return to her homeland
Her movements gradually came to a halt
Hundreds of years? Which collector can wait for hundreds of years
Yunnan, "Her voice was somewhat unclear, I am really tired," Ruili City, Wanting Town
The elderly aunt found it increasingly interesting and asked many questions
The old aunt seems very interested: "Is it also a tourist destination?"
Then manually eject the shell casing and chamber another round
For example, Wanting connects the inland of China and serves as a major passageway between China and Myanmar, as well as between China and India. The most famous aspect there is not any surface market, but rather the largest black market in Southeast Asia underground
The main idea is to ask her about her itinerary and when she will return to Yunnan. She casually mentioned that Shen Gong suddenly changed his plans and intended to return to Taiwan by sea. Nan Huai fell silent for a few seconds and suddenly asked her: "Is there anything special about hetushu.com?"
So, is our daughter also a mixed-race child
"Our Chengcheng, the pain is truly painful, yet she cannot speak." The elderly lady's hands are well cared for, and the pads of her fingers are surprisingly soft. After applying the ointment, I gently massaged her again with my fingertips. Fingers are always the best applicators; only the warmth of human skin can thoroughly soften the ointment and allow it to penetrate the injured area.
Suddenly, there was another click.
You remind me of the time I spent catching monkeys in my childhood. Do you know about the pig-tailed macaque? It is a type of macaque, a very intelligent animal. She suddenly recalled a funny incident from her childhood, "When I was very young in Yunnan, I always wanted to catch the little pig-tailed macaque that stole my things. I tried many methods, even learning their way of communicating, squinting my eyes, pouting my lips, and so on, to amuse it, but I was never successful."
Her face buried in the mattress, she smiled without speaking
In the truest sense, they are also businessmen, albeit with a more pronounced political hue
The moment this thought surfaced in her mind, her hand was pressed against the wall by someone, and at the same time, a tall figure leaned in, silently pinning her body down.
I cannot stand the cold air from the air conditioner," she said, "especially when I am sleeping
When a family is in turmoil, any glamorous surname becomes useless. To truly attain security, a powerful individual must emerge to stand at the pinnacle of the family and exercise iron-fisted rule
Finally, Cheng Mu Yang ultimately relaxed the distance between them: "It is over."
"Are you sweating?" Cheng Mu Yang reached out and gently brushed aside her bangs from her forehead. "Is the air conditioning in the bedroom broken?"
Then, it was by feigning weakness that I caught it. She still fondly remembers that little monkey. "However, I caught it to play with me using picture books, unlike you, who aimed to eradicate it completely"
She heard the sound of an object colliding with the glass and caught a glimpse of Xiao Feng holding a sniper rifle in one hand, neatly placing three metal shell casings on the glass table. It was as if a child, having played enough with marbles, was returning them to their parents
There was no sound of heavy objects hitting the ground. Her hand brushed against the wall as she searched for the source of the sound with her eyes. Having only stayed for a brief day and night, she was not familiar with anything in this room, so every corner felt strange and perilous to her
As soon as the north and south spoke this sentence, a blinding light suddenly streaked across outside the window
There are not many tourists," said Nanbei lazily, in a half-dreamy state. "Ruili City borders Myanmar on three sides, and Wanting can be considered a gateway to the southwest. To the northwest lies the China-India border. There are mountains and rivers, tropical rainforests, and the smallest national border defense station. Many Southeast Asians are present, making it a very large distribution market.
In the end, she did not know how much she had said
Even after passing through the silencer, one can still hear the sharp whistling of the projectile flying supersonically through the air
Yet, even so, she has experienced turmoil and displacement
Focusing on arms, jade, rosewood, wildlife, and narcotics
He is also regarded as an indispensable element, enshrined deep within memory
There shouldn't be, right? This is indeed a good question. In fact, she herself cannot guarantee it; who knows if our ancestors had married several beautiful women from Southeast Asia.
Compared to the blood diamonds that have been artificially inflated by a coalition of over ten countries, this is the true "valuable yet unavailable"
Taking rosewood as an example, in the past decade, the most sought-after items in the collection world have been Hainan Huanghuali and Southeast Asian Padauk, both of which must pass through the hands of the Nan family during their circulation. Hainan Huanghuali was nearly extinct by the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the number of surviving pieces in the world does not exceed 10,000.
