People who don't drink alcohol on weekdays get drunk easily.
Bai Yuyun's voice became softer and softer, until the last syllable came out, and she actually fell asleep on the table.
Yan Mu went out to get a blanket from the waiter. As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Qu Xiao waiting in the corridor.
That afternoon, Mr. Yan suddenly asked for a private room for the night, saying that he wanted to meet a friend.
Xiangyao's business is booming, and private rooms must be booked at least two days in advance. When Qu Xiao heard that Yan Mu was coming with friends, he immediately gave them a top-notch private room with a large environment and good decoration. There is also an intelligent lighting system installed on the roof, which can switch lights on and off and even change the color of lights by sensing people's movements.
Qu Xiao was curious about which friend was worthy of Yan Shao's initiative to book a private room, so he asked the waiter to pay attention. When he came out of the school, the waiter told him: "Nothing special, Shin asked someone to take the wine and some tools to the private room. Oh, by the way, a very beautiful girl just asked how to get to No. 3001."
When he heard “3001”, Qu Xiao’s eyes lit up.
Which 3001 could it be? It's the one that Yan Shao ordered!
Why would a pretty girl go to 3001
What can I do? ! Date! !
His heart was full of gossip, but since it was a date after all, Qu Xiao didn't want to disturb him. He suppressed his curiosity and waited outside the door. He also called Wen Da to witness the moment when Yan Shao finally got married. Wen Da should be on his way here by now.
"Mr. Yan, why did you come out?" The door was ajar, and Qu Xiao glanced through the crack, trying to see something.
"Is there a blanket?" Yan Mu asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qu Xiao immediately asked the waiter to get it, and then he held it himself with a charming smile on his face.
The gap in the door is so small that you can't even see a single hair. Maybe you can find an excuse to go in and take a look.
Unexpectedly, Yan Mu was blocking the door, not wanting to let him in at all, and stretched out his hand and said, "Just give it to me."
Qu Xiao was really curious, who was this girl? Was she the one that Yan Shao had been chasing after in school? Or did he change his target
He couldn't help himself, stretched his neck and asked tentatively: "... Mr. Yan, since you are meeting a friend, why don't you take a look too? More friends will make it more lively, right!"
Yan Mu gave an extremely perfunctory answer: "Next time."
Qu Xiao: “…”
Bai Yujun was sleeping soundly, and she didn't even notice when Yan Mu covered her with a blanket. The lighting system recognized Bai Yujun's movements and automatically dimmed the light above her head before Yan Mu left.
The extremely dark orange is a brightness suitable for taking a rest.
There is a balcony on the other side of the private room, with a small round table and two rattan chairs outside.
Jiang Zhihuo had already cleared the wine glasses on the table while Yan Mu went out to get a blanket, and was waiting for him on the balcony.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were open, and the moonlight cast a tall figure.
Yan Mu sat on another rattan chair.
The third floor is not very high, and it faces the bustling night view of Chengxi Street. You can hear the sound of wheels passing by.
Jiang Zhihuo poured Yan Mu a glass of wine and shook it, the color of the wine reflected on his well-defined hands.
At this moment, the two of them were alone together, so it was impossible for them to enjoy the night view and chat. Jiang Zhihuo went straight to the point and asked simply and clearly: "When did you know?"
Yan Mu took a sip of wine and threw the question back to him: "Know what?"
It has become very obvious these days. Calling Bai Yujun here is not just because the next day is her birthday.
Yan Mu already knew that there was no need to play dumb at this time. Jiang Zhihuo took the initiative to admit: "I didn't really approach Yuyun because I wanted to pursue her."
Yan Mu nodded: "I guess so."
Jiang Zhihuo asked: "Tell me? When did you realize it? I thought my acting was pretty realistic."
Yan Mu said truthfully: "It was really well acted, I believed it at first."
Jiang Zhihuo turned his head and the two of them exchanged glances: "What is that?"
Yan Mu replied, "Since the time you asked someone to find out about Yu Yun." He paused for a moment and said, "The things you asked were too detailed and fragmentary, and they were so high-profile that everyone knew about it. You shouldn't pursue someone like that."
They had talked about this topic before, and Jiang Zhihuo gave the reason: This is how your brother Huo pursues girls, and he is so high-profile.
Jiang Zhihuo thought that this reason was quite consistent with his personality, so he asked: "Isn't this reason true enough? Your brother Huo is indeed this kind of person."
Yan Mu: "If I didn't live with you, it would be very real."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhihuo nodded.
Yan Mu's voice was light but deep. He replied, "You are not a person without sense of propriety."
Jiang Zhihuo: "Wow, Brother Yan, this is the first time you praise me, how did you come up with this?"
Yan Mu: "We lived together for two months."
Jiang Zhihuo: "Hmm?"
Yan Mu: "Have you ever heard me complain about you?"
Jiang Zhihuo raised an eyebrow.
Yan Mu said: "The things have hardly been touched. I have a mysophobia and haven't asked the housekeeper to come over for the past two months, but the room and the floor are very clean every day, just like before you moved in."
"Not only that, except for non-essential times, you rarely stay in the same space with me. You only put your luggage in a fixed area, and even when you wash up, you wipe the toothbrush cup clean and put it in the corner."
"That is to say, apart from kissing, touching and tutoring, my life has not changed at all."
"Unless you and I are the same kind of person, there is only one possibility—you are catering to my lifestyle."
The green light on the street began to flash, and the vehicles waited neatly in the lane.
Jiang Zhihuo took a sip of wine, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Yan Mu continued: "If you are this kind of person, even if you are really pursuing a girl, you will definitely not be able to ignore her feelings."
After this explanation, many aspects were already very clear. Jiang Zhihuo naturally took over the topic and continued: "The things I inquired about were too detailed. You guessed that maybe I was doing a trajectory investigation. The fact that you can find out about Feng Zhi means that you have had contact in this area. It's not surprising to have such a guess."
"So Feng Zhi's trajectory report and the extracted personality profile were all to test me?"
Trajectory investigation is a very important step in investigation and evidence collection. It is not only to investigate a person's life trajectory, but also to infer a person's personality and psychology.
For example, when you go shopping at a convenience store, do you use your left or right hand to put the things into the bag? Do you grab them with all five fingers at the same time, or do you touch them with four fingers first and then put your thumb on them? Each difference, which is almost imperceptible to yourself, can infer a different personality.
Even Bai Yuyun and the driver who was staring at her didn't realize his purpose. Yan Xueshen was able to infer such a possibility from such a tiny bit of facts. He is worthy of being called a genius.
Jiang Zhihuo asked again: "Aren't you worried that I was really hot-blooded chasing girls at that time and didn't know these things at all?"
Yan Mu: "You can be an idiot, but I'm not."
Jiang Zhihuo laughed: "Are you scolding me or praising yourself?"
Yan Mu was surprisingly frank: "Both."
Jiang Zhihuo propped up his chin, put his elbows on the small round table, raised his eyes and stared at Yan Mu, "Your intentions are not pure either, do you have someone you like? Stand-in literature, Brother Yan."
Yan Mu looked at him and said self-deprecatingly, "This is a pretty scumbag job."
Jiang Zhihuo narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, Yan Mu's mobile phone on the table vibrated.
Qu Xiao was really curious, and his gossiping heart became more and more intense when Yan Mu returned to the private room, so he sent several messages in a row.
Qu Xiao: How are you guys
Qu Xiao: Our private room is not a hotel, we can’t mess around.
Qu Xiao: But if it were you, I would agree.
Qu Xiao: But... you don’t have that thing, how about I send some in
Qu Xiao: Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, please reply to me.
Qu Xiao: No, if that’s the case, you shouldn’t reply to me.
Yan Mu saw that this man's thoughts were going astray and he typed to stop him from thinking too much.
Yan Mu: Don’t let your imagination run wild.
It was not a suitable time to look at the phone, and one sentence should be enough. After that, no matter how many messages Qu Xiao sent, Yan Mu never replied.
Now that the topic has been started, we must finish it all.
Yan Mu turned his phone to silent mode, turned it upside down on the table, and said, "I have some ideas, but they are just guesses based on my current understanding. I will tell you about them. You can choose to remain silent. If you refute, I will automatically assume that what I said is the fact. Of course, I can also regard your silence as an affirmation of the fact."
Yan Mu rarely spoke such a long paragraph, and he circled the conditions at the beginning and end of his words.
Jiang Zhihuo pointed out: "Then doesn't it mean everything is right?"
Yan Mu: "Yes."
Jiang Zhihuo smiled and took another sip of wine: "It's up to you."
Yan Mu: "At first I just thought Yuyun was weird. I don't think she's a girl with low emotional intelligence, but when she clearly showed her intention to pursue us, she didn't show any rejection. So when we went out for the first time, I told her 'We are all pursuing you', but she acted very abnormally."
Jiang Zhihuo: "When did you say that? I wasn't there at that time?"
"Yeah." Yan Mu said, "After that, you started asking around, and I asked my friends to help me look it up, and then I discovered something even stranger."
Jiang Zhihuo: "What?"
Yan Mu: "In the previous investigation, I only targeted Yuyun. It was a very superficial investigation that did not involve any privacy. At the beginning, she was indeed just an ordinary student with a clean family background. But suddenly one day, a clue was discovered during the investigation."
Jiang Zhihuo went straight to the point: "Bai Group?"
"Yes." Yan Mu nodded. "As far as I know, five years ago, the Bai Group was just a small private company with a capital of only one million. Why did it develop so rapidly in five years, upgrading from a small workshop to a leader in various fields of technology and medicine?"
Jiang Zhihuo: "Maybe it's because of good luck. After all, nothing is impossible in this era, right?"
"There is indeed such a possibility." Yan Mu said, "But the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. With their methods and background, it is too eye-catching to have such development space. Therefore, they have been targeted and someone has started investigating them."
"A long time ago, I heard some things, such as some families would use the bodies of omegas for transactions in exchange for contracts. At that time, most of them were jokes, and not many people took it seriously. But this rumor can't be groundless."
Jiang Zhihuo: "Yeah."
Yan Mu continued, "Bai Yuyun, the adopted daughter of the Bai family. Before her, the Bai family had adopted five girls in total, four of whom have died. Without exception, they were all omegas."
"The rise of the Bai Group was due to a large order, which was signed on the eighteenth birthday of the first adopted girl."
Jiang Zhihuo praised without any surprise: "You can find out this too? You know it in great detail!"
Yan Mu ignored his perfunctory attitude and said calmly: "I am also very curious, why do I know so much detail? And I suddenly found out some time ago, it's as if someone deliberately told other people who are investigating."
Jiang Zhihuo: "I did it on purpose."
Yan Mu nodded: "Five years is too short a time. There are many people eyeing the Bai Group, and there must be more than one company investigating them. Obviously, these inside stories were deliberately released by someone. The reason why they were released may be because of my shallow knowledge. I can only speculate that someone wants to take action against the Bai Group."
"But who is it? A competitor? Or the police inspector? I am more inclined to the latter. The reason is simple. The Bai Group is not only involved in commercial interests, but the transactions they conducted are illegal."
"… "
Villa area.
Bai Zhengou slammed the pen down.
Ink splashed out from the pen, leaving an extremely obvious ink mark on the light-colored carpet.
Just five minutes ago, Mr. Wang suddenly contacted him and said, "I won't sign your contract."
Bai Zhengou: "Why?!"
Mr. Wang's tone was very excited, and a sound of tapping on the table came from the receiver: "You're still asking me why?! You've been lying to me all along!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wang cut off the call, leaving only a busy tone in his ears.
"Psycho." Bai Zhengou smashed the communication tool, criticized the old man with vicious words, and took a deep breath.
This order from Mr. Wang is extremely important and nothing can go wrong.
Bai Zhengou contacted the secretary and asked him to take some things to Mr. Wang's residence and find out what was going on.
But his message was not sent.
The signal suddenly disappeared.
When I turned on the computer again, it showed no network connection.
It's all garbage.
Bai Zhengou had an impatient temper to begin with, and now that he was given the cold shoulder for no apparent reason, he became even more furious.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Bai Yuyun had to be sent away the next day, so the housekeeper and maid were not at home today, and Bai Zhengou came out to open the door himself.
Police lights were flashing outside the door, and a row of policemen were standing there. The middle-aged man in the lead had an exceptionally stern look, a high nose, deep eyes, and clear and sharp facial features.
The man showed his police ID, his last name was Li.
Also, a search warrant.
Bai Zhengou knew what kind of business he was doing, and his face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, he had already mastered the skill of hiding his emotions. He quickly adjusted his expression and opened the door and said, "Search warrant, what have I done wrong?"
The young criminal policeman behind him said without beating around the bush: "We have received a report that the Bai Group is suspected of drug trafficking, smuggling, human trafficking, etc. We have applied to our superiors for a search warrant. Please cooperate with the investigation."
Bai Zhengou refused to give in: "You want to..."
Officer Li interrupted him forcefully: "The evidence has already been collected. If possible, I don't want to go through all the trouble to come here." He raised his right hand and said to the people behind him, "The suspect resisted and refused to accept the investigation. He has been controlled now."
The criminal police behind him instantly grabbed Bai Zhengou's arm, and the others filed in.
In this situation, Bai Zhengou didn't care about his dignity at all and shouted, "What on earth are you doing?!"
Officer Li said: "The Bai Group expanded too quickly. The police had long been suspicious and launched an investigation. As a decision maker, you have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. It was not until the end of June this year that we obtained preliminary evidence."
Officer Li walked to the sofa, bent down, and found a round piece the size of a fingernail from the corner.
Bai Zhengou's pupils suddenly shrank.
Officer Li put the disc into the evidence bag and said, "You are very secretive. You are still using radio communication in the 21st century. However, your signal was intercepted by the police a month ago, and your communication with the trader has long been exposed. These evidences are enough to sentence you to life imprisonment or even death."
Bai Zhengou began to struggle frantically: "Who put this in?!"
The criminal policeman applied force with his palm, Bai Zhengou felt pain, screamed, and gradually calmed down.
Those who stayed by his side were his trusted confidants, and they would not tell anyone about his deal. Bai Yujun would not do that either, she simply did not dare.
Who else?!
Bai Zhengou then remembered an incident. Half a month ago, a boy broke into the villa area and confessed his love to Bai Yuyun! He couldn't stand being watched, so he called the boy in and gave him a severe scolding.
What can you do with that straw bag method?!
Bai Zhengou raised his head, his eyes widened as wide as he could: "He put it in?!"
Officer Li did not answer. At the same time, a young detective came down from upstairs: "Officer Li, we found a suicide note and a box."
Officer Li read the suicide note carefully, then turned to Bai Zhengou and said solemnly, "You used an omega to trade bodies and mentally humiliated him until he committed suicide. Bai Zhengou, how many life sentences do you think you can get?"
"… "
The glasses clinked together, and both men raised their heads at the same time and drank it all in one gulp.
Having drunk too much wine tonight, Yan Mu looked drunk, with a hint of red at the corners of his eyes. But Jiang Zhihuo, who was sitting next to him, didn't show any sign of it at all, and even added a lot more to the glass, as if he had only drunk water instead of wine.
Feeling a little dizzy, Yan Mu rubbed his brows and said, "Your confession method of placing candles is really tacky."
Jiang Zhihuo laughed a few times: "The more rustic, the more useful it is. Otherwise, how can people watch? How can I get in?"
Yan Mu waved his hand.
Jiang Zhihuo lowered his eyes to check the time. It had been two hours and twenty minutes since their last kiss.
I talked a lot tonight and stayed here for a long time, so I should have a fever.
As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, pain spread throughout my body, and my breathing and heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Yan Mu noticed Jiang Zhihuo's strange behavior and gently put his hand on his.
As an emotionless inhibitor, Yan Mu has always done a good job and fulfilled his duties. He did not ignore the relationship between the two and let Jiang Zhihuo suffer the pain of fever alone.
Now that Bai Yuyun's story has been revealed, they are no longer rivals in love, and their relationship is maintained solely by "contact".
Yan Mu cupped Jiang Zhihuo’s cheek.
I have done this so many times that I can imagine what will happen in the next second just by closing my eyes.
They all drank, and their breath was extremely hot.
When their lips were about to touch, Jiang Zhihuo gently pushed Yan Mu away and placed his palm on his chest.
"There is something we must make clear before we kiss," Jiang Zhihuo said.
Yan Mu looked at him.
Jiang Zhihuo: "The two of us are just in a relationship of healer and healer."
Jiang Zhihuo had said this when he set the three rules, but now the situation is different, the scene is different, and the meaning is also different.
"I won't get entangled with you in any way. Here." He pointed to the back of his neck. "If there is another way, I will leave you immediately and won't get entangled in anything."
"You can still like your white moonlight. What happened between us was just an accident. I don't know how you were before, but at least you are not with him now, and you can't have any follow-up with me. During this period, any contact can be done without psychological burden."
Jiang Zhihuo lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, casting a half shadow: "I'll tell you this, and also tell me."
The meaning of Jiang Zhihuo's words was very clear. With one sentence, he drew a very long and deep dividing line between the two of them. He would not cross it, nor would he allow Yan Mu to cross it even half a step.
Yan Mu was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay."
Jiang Zhihuo gave a calm smile and raised his head.
Yan Mu stroked the back of his neck and scraped the teeth marks with his thumb. The feeling of skin touching each other was always ambiguous.
The ten-minute kiss was long, yet very restrained and solemn.
The smell of alcohol lingered between his lips and teeth, but his mind was too dizzy to tell whether it was pheromones that were unconsciously released or the alcohol he had just drunk.
The intelligent light above their heads scanned the movements of the two people. They were kissing. The light changed, and a faint blue light appeared. It was very weak, as if everything was immersed in the dim light.
"You're finally here!" Qu Xiao hurriedly welcomed Wen Da into the bar, feeling anxious and excited.
He is so curious!
What happened between Yan Shao, who is as cold as an iceberg, and the girl? !
It's not that Qu Xiao has a bad temper or likes to gossip. It's just that he has known Yan Shao for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen him actually date a girl. This is really rare. In Qu Xiao's mind, the degree of rarity is comparable to the first time an earthling stepped onto the moon.
Qu Xiao walked upstairs while saying, "I sent a message to ask, but Young Master Yan didn't reply. What can you do if you don't reply? Right?! Let's go and take a look!"
Wen Da was also curious, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over as soon as he received the call, but Qu Xiao's suggestion of "going to take a look" was really a bit too much, so he asked: "How do you plan to see it?"
Qu Xiao had a sense of proportion, so he took out a door card and said, "Room 3002, the balconies on both sides are next to each other. Let's go to the balcony and take a look. If we can't see it, that would be the best. If not, I'll give up and wait for Master Yan to come out. How do you think?"
"That's fine." Wenda said. Anyway, it's impossible to do anything on the balcony. This time, it's probably going to be fruitless. But if he doesn't satisfy his curiosity, Qu Xiao thinks he will make trouble until late at night.
Qu Xiao opened the door of 3002, hurriedly pulled open the curtains and the balcony windows, and ran out in a hurry.
However, as soon as he took a step, he was stunned to one side.
"What's wrong?" Wenda was a few steps slower than him. Before he went out, he thought that this man probably didn't see anything and was very disappointed. He was about to speak to comfort him, but when he turned his head to look at the balcony on the other side, his steps sank and his whole body became stiff. He couldn't take another step forward.
They saw Yan Shao.
The overhead lights were cut into a dark blue color, with water ripples and several swimming jellyfish projected around them.
Romantic and ambiguous.
I saw Yan Shao pushing the person against the wall and kissing him.
The person I was kissing was a man, and he looked very familiar.
They kissed deeply and naturally, as if it wasn't their first time.
“s, s, s…”
Qu Xiao seemed to be nailed to the ground. It took him a long time to regain his expression. He swallowed three or four times before he could barely make a sound.
"Shin?!"
The author has something to say: This is just a novel, don’t take it seriously~
But don't break the law, it's true~~~
