"Right, right, right?" Ning Xi clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. On the one hand, she wanted to please Lu Tingxiao, and on the other hand, she really needed help.
Lu Tingxiao was silent for three seconds, and then he finally spoke: "Yeah."
"Really? You really have a way?" Ning Xi almost jumped up in excitement, "How long will it take?"
"One..." Lu Tingxiao wanted to say an hour, but changed his mind when the words came to his mouth, "One night."
"So fast! That's great!" Ning Xi was overjoyed and quickly took out the laptop from her bag. "This is the laptop I got from Zhang Qiang. Do you need anything else? I'll help you prepare it!"
"No need." Lu Tingxiao said as he stood up and walked straight upstairs.
Ning Xi immediately followed happily.
When they arrived at the study, Ning Xi tactfully ran over to help Lu Tingxiao pull out a chair, then placed the notebook on the desk in front of Lu Tingxiao, and then ran over to pour him a glass of water.
Lu Tingxiao glanced at her and then sat down on the chair.
Lu Tingxiao took out his own laptop and connected the two computers with a data cable. After browsing the evidence she mentioned, he opened an unknown software and entered a series of complicated codes into the box on the screen.
Ning Xi curiously leaned over the table and took a closer look, but of course she couldn't understand it at all. She was just confused and felt something was awe-inspiring.
Lu Tingxiao was tapping when he suddenly heard a gentle breath near his ear. His fingers suddenly stopped and his brows furrowed.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Ning Xi asked immediately and nervously.
Lu Tingxiao said in a slightly cold tone: "Stay away from me." Being so close to him was hindering his concentration.
"Oh..." Ning Xi immediately lowered her head like a frost-bitten eggplant, and moved sadly to sit on the sofa in the farthest corner of the room.
Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Lu Tingxiao almost opened his mouth to comfort her, but he held back in the end.
Ning Xi held a pillow in her arms and quietly watched Lu Tingxiao's profile as he worked seriously. She secretly smacked her lips in surprise. It was said that men looked most handsome when they were serious. It was indeed true!
For a moment, the only sound in the study was the quiet typing of the keyboard.
Ning Xi sat there alone, struggling for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Lu Tingxiao... Can I ask you a question?"
"ask."
"You... why didn't you ask me?"
"What do you want to ask?"
Ning Xi clenched her fingers into a fist, "Ask about the gun! Don't you want to know why I have a gun? Don't you think I'm different from what you imagined? Don't you think I'm... scary?"
Lu Tingxiao: "I don't think so."
Ning Xi: "Oh..."
Lu Tingxiao didn't ask, but Ning Xi felt bad. He had always treated her as a friend and helped her without reservation, but she had always kept everything to herself.
So, even though Lu Tingxiao didn't ask further, Ning Xi still took the initiative to speak, "You know, the security in Country M is not very good, and it is legal to carry a gun there. I learned how to use a gun when I was there.
But in China, this gun was indeed obtained through informal channels. I don’t know how it was obtained. It was given to me by a friend, and he taught me how to shoot. I only used it for self-defense when I had no choice. After returning to China, I only used it once! ”
Lu Tingxiao stopped what he was doing and asked, "Who is your friend?"
