Chapter 498 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (40)
Bai Chun was very dissatisfied with Zhuo Feng's unauthorized announcement that Mermaid Tears would appear at the engagement ceremony. After all, the two parties had previously agreed not to announce the existence of Mermaid Tears before the engagement ceremony, but Zhuo Feng broke his promise.Nowadays, not only the world knows that Mermaid's Tears is in the hands of Zhuo's family, but they also publicize it so much. Isn't this the rhythm that attracts shadow monsters?
Bai Chun is really anxious about the IQ of this future father-in-law.

He took the newspaper and went to Zhuo Feng's office, intending to question him.When he came downstairs of Zhuojia Company, he found that many media reporters had already gathered in the lobby on the first floor.These media friends didn't come to interview him originally, but seeing Bai Chun's appearance, how could the reporters let go of this opportunity?They rushed over immediately, surrounded Bai Chun and asked many questions about Mermaid Tears.

Regarding this, Bai Chun naturally has nothing to comment.He broke free from the crowd, finally got into the elevator and came to Zhuo Feng's office.When the future father-in-law saw him coming, he had a knowing expression on his face.

He must have come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.Zhuo Feng knew that this was the case, but he still pretended to be confused and stood up cheerfully to welcome his future son-in-law.

"Bai Chun. Come to see me today when you are so free?"

"Uncle Zhuo." Bai Chun took out the newspaper in his hand, and the front page advertisement was clearly a report about Mermaid's Tears. "Didn't we agree? We won't announce the mermaid tears before the engagement ceremony."

"About this. Don't worry too much about it." Zhuo Feng insisted that he was an elder, and ignored Bai Chun's displeasure at all, but took his hand and came to the sofa to sit down.

"How can you not care? Once you publish in the newspaper like this, you will soon attract shadow monsters!" This is what Bai Chun is most worried about.

However, in Zhuo Feng's view, he really disagrees.

"Isn't he just a thief! Is there any need to be so nervous? Besides, I have hired the largest security company in the city according to your instructions. Forgive that strange thief with three heads and six arms, and it is impossible to cause any big storms."

Zhuo Feng really underestimated the ability of the Shadow Stranger.No wonder, he had never really seen that strange thief, so he naturally looked down upon it.But Bai Chun is different. Thinking back to when he deployed so many police forces in Dubai, he still let the strange thief escape, but Zhuo's security guards were inferior.

However, it is generally difficult for outsiders to change the things Zhuo Feng decides.This person has always been self-righteous. Bai Chun has known him for so many years, so he naturally knows his character.

No matter how much it is said, it is probably in vain.

Thinking of this, Bai Chun sighed inwardly.Instead of blaming Zhuo Feng for breaking his promise, it is better to mend the situation and see how to clean up the mess.Bai Chun thought that if the Shadow Stranger behaves according to his style, it should soon...

Just as he was thinking, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman." She reported to Zhuo Fenghui: "Many media friends have gathered downstairs. They have requested an interview with you. Do you want to refuse them?"

"Of course not. I'll go down and meet them right away." Zhuo Feng said with a smile on his lips.

This is the scene he wants to appear.

Zhuo Feng stood up, straightened his tie, turned his head and smiled at Bai Chun: "Bai Chun, this is a very good promotional opportunity. It is a very good image promotion for our company, or for the Bai family. "

This is the real purpose of his deliberate front-page advertisement.

For him, this engagement ceremony is equivalent to a free advertisement.Moreover, this advertisement was very successful, the eyes of the whole Shanghai, no, even the whole of China were attracted because of Mermaid Tears.A look of disgust flashed across Bai Chun's eyes. Although it was not easy to detect, he really hated that his life's major events were being handled as a business by others.

Born into a wealthy family, do you have to accept such a fate?
Zhuo Feng was about to go out, when the secretary said: "By the way, Chairman, someone just sent this courier."

She holds an envelope in her hand.

The recipient wrote Zhuo Feng's name.

"What is this?" Zhuo Feng didn't even look at it, the envelope had already been opened by the secretary.Any unidentified letters from the company will be checked first before being submitted.

At this moment, the secretary's face turned slightly pale, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes, and anxiety in her tone.

"This is from the notice... Shadow... Shadow Stranger..." After some difficulty, the secretary squeezed out a sentence.

"What?" Hearing this, Zhuo Feng's face changed slightly.

But Bai Chun had already walked over immediately, and directly took the letter over to read.

That's right, this is the trailer for Shadow Stranger.

There are only a few numbers on it: "On the night of the engagement, my figure will cover the moonlight."

The implication is self-explanatory: Shadow Stranger will strike on the engagement day!

Sure enough, just as Bai Chun was worried, the first step of the Shadow Stranger was to issue a notice.This is completely in line with its usual style.

"Damn it!" Bai Chun spat in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Feng was heartless and quite proud of himself, "Haha. This thief is also strange, and he made it clear that he would show up that day? At that time, as long as I send more people, won't it be the same as catching a turtle in the urn?"

Zhuo Feng's thoughts are naive and ignorant enough.

Bai Chun was too lazy to pay attention to what this man was thinking.

What he cares about now is how to stop the Shadow Stranger?
Maybe... Bai Chun suddenly thought of another aspect.Didn't he always think about how to lure Shadow Stranger out?It was this opportunity that was in front of him now.

However, he was extremely reluctant to let Zhuo Enqi take risks for this.If possible, he hoped that this would be a one-on-one duel between Shadow Stranger and him.But at present, this idea is impossible to realize.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were shining brightly. Bai Chun and Zhuo Enqi were walking along the Huangpu River. The tall buildings along the river were so tall that their reflections were reflected in the water. Accompanied by the scenery in the sky, they wove into a beautiful picture.

Zhuo Enqi held Bai Chun's arm, blowing the sea breeze, feeling the fresh breath, looking at Bai Chun with exceptionally soft eyes, being able to be with her sweetheart, she felt extremely happy at the moment.

The two walked slowly along the river, Bai Chun was silent along the way, thinking about something.Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. "well."

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Enqi heard his distress. "Is it because of my father?"

Zhuo Enqi only found out about Zhuo Feng's publication in the newspaper after the fact, otherwise, she would definitely stop her father from doing so.

She guessed right, Bai Chun was indeed troubled by this matter.

"Uncle Zhuo is too reckless to do this." Bai Chun did not hide his worry.

"Is it because of that strange thief?" Zhuo Enqi also heard about the shadow strange man, "Will that strange man really come to steal the mermaid's tears?"

"It will definitely." Bai Chun told Zhuo Feng about receiving the notice. "At that time, the Shadow Stranger will definitely show up at the engagement ceremony."

"Since you are so worried." Zhuo Enqi was very considerate of her sweetheart's difficulties, "Then I won't wear this necklace at the engagement ceremony."

"That's not okay." Bai Chun said, since it was Zhuo Feng's decision, if Zhuo Enqi didn't wear this necklace at the ceremony, it would definitely make Zhuo Feng's face ashamed. After all, this matter has already been reported in the media. It was advertised on the Internet.If Mermaid Tears didn't appear in the engagement ceremony, then not only the Zhuo family would be slapped in the face, but also the famous Bai family.

"But, what should we do if the strange thief appears?" Zhuo Enqi said worriedly, and she also blamed her father for doing things regardless of the consequences.

"Don't worry." Bai Chun knew that he could no longer show uneasiness, otherwise he would definitely infect his fiancée.So, he pretended to be confident: "It will be fine. I will protect you."

These words were like the best medicine, which instantly cured the fear in her heart.Zhuo Enqi hugged his body tightly, feeling the warmth.

Suddenly, her gaze swept over to a strange figure, her eyes widened, her small mouth opened unconsciously, and she looked at the black figure in front of her with some surprise.

The man was dressed strangely, all in black, with a Peking Opera facial make-up, and sneered.

She pointed at the strange man tremblingly, clenched Bai Chun's clothes tightly, her legs were even a little weak, and looked at Bai Chun in a panic. Immediately, Bai Chun also saw it, and couldn't help frowning: It's the shadow monster!

Bai Chun quickly grabbed Zhuo Enqi's hand, hugged her tightly in his arms, and shouted behind him: "Catch it!"

"Da da da!" Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from behind.

It turned out that Wang Zegang and the three of them had been following behind.

Seeing the shadow monster appear, the three of them immediately chased after it, and finally surrounded it and blocked it in front of the railing.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Chun and Zhuo Enqi also rushed over.

Bai Chun looked at the shadow monster, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and catch him!"

The Shadow Stranger turned around and sneered at Bai Chun and Zhuo Enqi.

"Not good! Grab it quickly!" Bai Chun sensed something was wrong, but it was too late when he shouted out.The Shadow Stranger jumped over the railing and jumped into the Huangpu River with a plop.

When Bai Chun and the others ran over to take a look, there was only a set of black clothes floating on the river.

After this face-to-face confrontation with the Shadow Stranger, Zhuo Enqi was hit hard.When she got home, she was still in panic, her hands and feet were trembling slightly, and her pale face was like recovering from a serious illness.

Seeing his daughter like this, Zhuo Feng hurriedly asked what happened.When he heard that the Shadow Stranger had appeared, he was also surprised.

"What on earth does that strange thief want to do?!" Zhuo Feng asked in astonishment.
