"Who is she?"

A newcomer asked in a low voice.

"The chaste and fierce maiden."

I don’t know who answered.

"Pfft~"

The entire dressing room burst into laughter.

Juliet turned a deaf ear and saw herself in the mirror. Her facial features still looked delicate, charming and energetic at first glance. However, years of smoking laudanum, coupled with lack of maintenance and labor, had made her skin dull and shriveled, and her eyes were gray and lifeless. . She pursed her lips and put on light makeup to cover her haggard face. She forced a smile in front of the mirror, revealing a pair of pretty sweet pear dimples.

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet, and only the sound of high heels could be heard. After a while, the mirror in front of Juliet reflected a face with exquisite makeup, big wavy hair, red eyes, a light red mole under her mouth, and a scarf on her neck. Wearing a precious white fox fur scarf, he has a graceful temperament.

Both women were staring straight into the mirror, but it was the curly-haired woman who spoke first.

"Aren't you married? Why are you back?"

"he died."

Juliet said coldly.

The other party showed a look of understanding and shrugged his shoulders: "Man, please accept my condolences."

Juliet didn't explain, got up and went to the rotating clothes rack, rummaging through the few tacky clothes that were left over.

I used to have an independent dressing room and custom-made dresses. It wasn't that long ago, maybe two years ago or three years ago...

Finally, Juliet chose a sky-blue strapless evening gown that she had seen before. She reached out and unbuttoned it, revealing a figure that was more curvy than the average Begonia woman. She didn't care about the complicated eyes of the people around her, and just looked after herself. Change clothes.

The curly-haired woman turned around and looked around: "We are all poor people, why should we make things difficult for each other? Juliet used to be a little arrogant, but in the end, she didn't do anything extraordinary. Let's forget it just now, and we will still be good sisters in the future."

Only then did sparse echoes sound in the room.

"It's time! It's time! Are you ready?"

Manager Lan's high-pitched voice sounded outside the dressing room.

The dancers all stood up and walked out of the door one by one. Juliet was at the end of the crowd and passed by the curly-haired woman expressionlessly, leaving only an inaudible "thank you".

When Juliet came on stage, she was inconspicuous at first, and not many guests bought her tickets. After all, she is already twenty-six years old this year. Today, the Lido stage is full of beauty, and some people on the stage are younger than her. A more beautiful girl, not to mention that Juliet is a new face and has no familiar guests.

But when the rumba music played and Juliet put her orchid fingers on the back of her head to caress her long hair, her slow dance attracted the attention of the audience.

I used to try to set aside

i try to get rid of

Some Time for being lonely

this lonely time

So many times I prayed to find

i often pray

Someone like you to hold me

Someone holds me in my arms like you

……

The dancers on the Lido stage are divided into waist dancers, stage dancers, red dancers, and leading dancers.

Juliet is a mixture of Haitang and Semites. Her mother is an excellent dancer. Because the Semitic country was destroyed, Juliet's mother fled the war and came to Haitang and gave birth to Juliet. This beautiful and characterful woman The proud young mixed-race woman's charming smile, her unparalleled grasp of the rhythm of music, and the beauty of her limbs were all inherited perfectly from her mother, and she was even better than her predecessor. It was precisely by virtue of this dance that made countless Jiangning guests ecstatic that Juliet, who was only 23 years old, fought for the throne of the flower country.

You'll be fine, Juliet.

Feeling the familiar greedy eyes from the audience, Juliet cheered herself up.

Even if you start all over again, you can still make a comeback.

Make a comeback...

She looked past the stacks of flower tickets under the stage and fell on an ordinary figure.

He was wearing a clean old jacket with no shirt underneath, his head tilted upward, his calm eyes swaying on the third floor, seemingly not paying attention to everything on the stage.

West Building...

No, it's Gu Jianqiu.

The man moved. He seemed to have found something. He stood up and squeezed through the crowded guests on the first floor and walked into the darkness.

Juliet suddenly recalled the calm and gloomy face of the other party in the Citi Individual Arms Store where all kinds of firearms were displayed.

"How much do you want?" "I really don't hate you, but I don't want my family to associate with laudanum smokers anymore..."

"Don't come to us again. This is the last time."

Do you believe in loneliness

Have you ever endured loneliness?

I do now that's where I found you and I'll never let you go

I suffered from loneliness and now that I have found you I will never let you go again

When all I knew was onlyness there you were

I know you are always there for me.

With you around who's lonely now

With you by my side, I will never be alone.

I feared the night but now it's mine

I once feared the long night, but tonight I cherish it even more

'Cause something's out there for me

Because you are by my side.

In the private room on the third floor, Xiong Kuohai waved and whispered something to the waiter, who bowed and retreated.

By the time the rumba ended, Juliet's ticket had reached the top. She left the stage with a complicated expression, and bumped into Manager Lan.

"Congratulations! Juliet! I knew you were fine! Master Xiong wants to see you, so go quickly."

Juliet agreed haphazardly, perhaps because she was consuming too much energy. Juliet's chest rose and fell violently, and her face looked very ugly. Ignoring Manager Lan's flattery, he excused himself and left.

"Hey! Hey!" Manager Lan called twice but didn't get an answer from Juliet, and couldn't help complaining: "Women are so unfaithful!"

……

……

After a short observation, Gu Jianqiu quickly found the box in Xiongkuohai. There were many high-rollers on the Lido stage, but there were only two bodyguards in suits and ties standing in front of the door of this box. Looking at the tattoos on their little fingers, It's not hard to come to a conclusion.

However, as soon as he reached the third floor, an invisible pressure made him frown.

What's this? ECG detection?

The electrocardiogram is spreading out luxuriously with long fluctuations, almost spreading to the entire third floor. In Gu Jianqiu's perception, the entire floor seems to be entrenched by a giant python. No need for eyes, any abnormal electrocardiogram, even if it is A fly or a mouse will be immediately caught and noticed by this powerful electrocardiogram.

"Hey, bad luck."

Gu Jianqiu was a little annoyed. In his previous life, he had encountered such careless nobles or small warlords. He easily found a security gap, threw a can into the room and ran away. The target person behind him was blown up into the sky.

But Xiongkuohai was obviously much more careful, and specially hired a cardiology master to take charge of his own safety.

The entire third floor of Lido is over 1,000 square meters. If the other party uses naked ECG to achieve this level, he will need at least 40 standard ECGs.

In the human society at the end of the 19th century, with forty standard ECGs, he was already a prominent figure such as the president of a university hall, the abbot of a state or county temple, or a scholar at the level of the headmaster of an old academy. It's impossible to protect a gang leader.

It should be using some kind of electrocardiogram amplification device...

Otherwise, he is a level I genuine heavenly official who specializes in Mana consciousness (seventh sense).

He followed the source of the electrocardiogram and saw a dark-skinned, neat-looking cuckoo man standing at the door of the Tianzi box. He was wearing a gray suit and had a Browning blaster pistol hanging on his waist. Because of the blind spot, this person cannot be seen downstairs.

The other party obviously noticed Gu Jianqiu's gaze and looked over.

Can you hold a gun openly in Haitang? Judging from the clothes, he couldn't be an officer or military policeman, so he must have the license of a genuine heavenly official.

"Sir, our third floor is membership only, sorry."

A male waiter walked up to Gu Jianqiu politely and bowed.

Gu Jianqiu threw out a thick stack of banknotes without even thinking about it.

"Please follow me, sir."

Gu Jianqiu followed the waiter. The real heavenly official's heartbeat was like a tarsal maggot, staring at him.

Heavenly officials who practice mana consciousness have very sharp intuitions. Do they simply think that I am suspicious?

Gu Jianqiu thought about countermeasures.

Suddenly, Juliet, wearing a shoulderless dress and exquisite makeup, rushed upstairs with an angry face and pushed Gu Jianqiu with both hands.

"What on earth do you want! Are you here to see my joke? Who do you think I am?"

She was agitated, and as she spoke, she pushed Gu Jianqiu fiercely until she pushed Gu Jianqiu to the wall.

The waiters on the side were stunned.

On the contrary, the cuckoo man raised a gossipy smile on his lips, took two steps back to the blind spot, and stopped paying attention to the man and woman.
