Chapter 852: Love Starting from the Breakup 41
Qiao Xu, someone specifically asked you to introduce him to piano.
A student from the piano shop walked into Qiao Xu's private practice room, feeling embarrassed to disturb.
Qiao Xu had just finished playing a piece, had some time, so he went out with him.
Just after entering the main hall and seeing the person, Qiao Xu fell silent for two seconds, then turned around wanting to leave.
"Stop, what are you running for?"
Shen Ling felt this person was becoming more and more inexplicable.
"I'm not going to eat you."
Qiao Xu could only come out, his expression not looking good.
Although the two used to be friends, Qiao Xu really couldn't accept Shen Ling's actions.
For anyone who wanted to snatch Jin Chen away from him, Qiao Xu uniformly disliked them.
"You want to buy a piano? Why must you specifically ask me to introduce you, do you owe me?"
Not knowing why Qiao Xu's aggressive tone was like that, Shen Ling was puzzled, "Qiao Xu, you're really strange."
"If it weren't for you publicly breaking up with Jin Chen at my birthday banquet, none of this would have happened."
Qiao Xu wouldn't be led around by him, "Don't blame all the faults on me."
"That's a matter between me and Jin Chen."
He then noticed Shen Ling had become much more haggard, looking even more ambitious than before, a huge change.
Shen Ling casually picked a piano, lightly touched the keys, trying to speak calmly with Qiao Xu.
At this critical juncture, making enemies with the Qiao Family is also not a good idea.
"I've already said, I won't stop you from being with Jin Chen; I just need the Jin Family's overt support."
"Your father and the Gu Family also have a business marriage alliance, don't they? Why can't you understand?"
Qiao Xu gave a cold snort, "So the Gu Family, greedy beyond capacity, successfully ruined themselves; do you also want the Shen Family to become like that?"
"No matter the form, I will not accept you having a marital relationship with Jin Chen."
He pointed at the door, his tone turning cold, "I don't want to be friends with you; this place isn't welcome to you, get out."
"You're really stubborn!"
Shen Ling rolled his eyes.
"My inheritance rights are about to be gone; who cares whether you agree or not."
Qiao Xu: "It was never yours to begin with."
Shen Qing is much more suitable than Shen Ling.
"That must be mine!" Shen Ling exclaimed emotionally, "I'm sorry to you, but that's all."
"Since it concerns inheritance rights, no one should think of stopping me."
Having said that, he hurried away.
Since kind advice falls on deaf ears, just obediently wait to accept the facts!
Gazing at his back, Qiao Xu let out a deep sigh.
Shen Ling became increasingly unfamiliar.
Once people touch upon interests, they tend to become especially extreme.
What Shen Ling is doing now is none other than the old path of Gu He.
He returned to the music room to play piano, his mind filled with countless tangled thoughts.
The pieces changed one after another, yet today he simply couldn't find his state.
"Your music has changed a lot."
A voice came from outside the door, the piano shop owner's voice; then the door was pushed open, and a woman in an ancient-style robe walked in.
"Can you hear it yourself?"
"Mist Sister, long time no see."
Qiao Xu first greeted her, then sighed, "I only feel that I can't find my state."
"Because my state of mind is changing."
Mist Sister sat opposite, her plain white fingertips bearing a thin layer of callus; pressing the keys produced a beautiful melody.
"Your music has become more steady, but lacks the previous spiritual vitality."
"Is that so..."
Qiao Xu lowered his head, his fingertips trembling slightly.
"I've heard about recent events."
Mist Sister's eyes held a smile, "You're very brave, and also much more mature than before."
"Music can represent all emotions; have you yourself noticed any change?"
After a long while, Qiao Xu slowly nodded.
"Don't trap yourself in a cage; many times the things you worry about won't happen."
"But a worried mindset leads to things turning out worse instead."
Mist Sister raised her arm and played a short melody.
It was what Qiao Xu had just played randomly, but the effect of the two of them playing was worlds apart.
"Cheer up, anyway things won't get any worse."
She said a long paragraph, Qiao Xu listened attentively, striving to untangle his own heart-knot.
"Thank you, Mist Sister, I will adjust properly."
【Detected Blackening Value -10, total 45!】
Jin Chen personally came to pick up Qiao Xu after work, and as soon as he saw him, he heard the 0731 broadcast.
"Brother!"
Qiao Xu changed from his usually stern expression in front of the trainees, his face lit up with joy, and he precisely lunged into his arms.
"You really came to pick me up?"
"Since the young master has given the order, how dare I not obey."
Jin Chen ignored the trainees' gossipy, excited glances, put his arm around him, and left the music shop.
Their relationship was sweet and loving, steadily progressing.
On the other side of Earth, there was a private island that couldn't be found on any map.
When Jin Tingxiao arrived with the person, the entire island had already been placed under the highest alert status.
He had originally thought it was Jin Fu who had discovered him.
But upon approaching, upon the data link intruding, he realized that this alert status had never been lifted.
As long as anyone dared to break in, they would be immediately attacked, except……
Jin Tingxiao looked toward the gate flashing with silver electric light.
Only with Jin Fu's identity password and iris double verification could that gate be successfully opened.
There probably wasn't time; he was rushing, unprepared for anything.
In that case, the only option was to force a breakthrough.
Jin Tingxiao pressed his earpiece and gave a cold order.
"Don't bother, just charge in."
The island base covered a huge area, but according to what Jin Chen said, the place where Qing Kui was detained was underground.
After Jin Tingxiao broke in, he still needed to find the underground entrance.
At the command, all the assassins Jin Tingxiao had brought picked up their weapons and rushed toward the gate.
Jin Tingxiao, meanwhile, quickly rushed into the base from another corner.
He entered the corridor first; the lighting was cold and gloomy, casting dark, indistinct shadows on Jin Tingxiao's icy, frosty face, giving off an aura that warned strangers to stay away.
Clad in a black leather trench coat, his tall frame wore sunglasses, exuding a mighty, chilling presence.
Ignoring all attackers rushing at him, he wielded dual guns and killed every one that came his way.
Jin Tingxiao's mind held only one thought.
Find Qing Kui.
His beloved, whom he had thought had perished.
Whenever he confirmed a place had no trace of Qing Kui, he would directly toss a grenade behind him to blow it up, continuing until he found the underground entrance.
The entire base was shrouded in gunfire and smoke.
Those inside quickly contacted Jin Fu and resisted desperately.
After Jin Tingxiao had killed seven people in a row, he finally pried the location of the underground entrance from them.
Above ground, gunfire blazed, but once inside the underground passage it became eerily quiet, somewhat sinister.
The quiet underground hospital, with its cold, bluish light, felt icy and sinister.
Still following the rule of kill on sight, Jin Tingxiao finally saw the figure he had long yearned for in some of the wards.
