"Let Lao Jiu come back!"
After something like this happened, it was natural to call An Baoqing back. Wen Liang had only met Luo Qi four or five times, and Zuo Yuxi had never even met him, so his understanding of him was really limited. An Baoqing knew him inside out, and he might be able to find clues and breakthroughs from him.
Wen Liang nodded, his eyes were deep and unseen, and he said, "I called on the way here and asked him to take the earliest flight back. He should be able to reach Qingzhou early tomorrow morning."
Putting aside Luo Qi's matter for the moment, Wen Liang lowered his head, slowly stroked Zuo Yuxi's delicate eyebrows with his fingers, and whispered: "I haven't thanked you for Tutu's schooling..."
It was for Tutu, but actually it was for Si Yajing. The two of them were in tune with each other, so some things didn't need to be said too clearly. Zuo Yuxi hid in Wen Liang's arms and found a more comfortable position.
"Tutu is cute and sensible, I like her very much." Zuo Yuxi's eyes were extremely bright, morning stars and night moon were not enough to describe them, but she paused and said coldly: "As for Si Yajing..."
Wen Liang pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Don't be naughty, you can't scare me by praising yourself before suppressing yourself."
Zuo Yuxi imitated the words that Wen Liang often said and muttered, "It's too familiar. It seems really not good!"
Wen Liang laughed loudly, and Zuo Yuxi also laughed, saying: "Well, to be honest, Teacher Si is beautiful and intelligent, gentle but not coquettish, and has a very peaceful temperament. We can talk very well..."
When Wen Liang further asked what the two had talked about in the afternoon, Zuo Yuxi kept it a secret, stretched his waist lazily, and said, "This is our women's business, so don't ask about it."
Wen Liang sighed, leaned back on the sofa, stared at the white ceiling, his mind in a mess and he thought of many things at once, including his past life, his present life, those bright and beautiful girls, and the uneasiness and fear that always accompanied his heart. But in the end, all that was left was the beauty in his arms and the starry sky above his head.
In this new life, he has gone through bloody storms and has changed too much from the inside out. He is also worried about too much. He can no longer love one person wholeheartedly like the gentle and gracious person he once was. So there are Zuo Yuxi, Si Yajing, and Ning Xi. These three women are good at their own things. Whoever has one of them should not have any other wishful thinking. But because they all fall in love with him at the same time, they not only compromise and put aside their own pride and dignity to accept each other, but also use their own wisdom and understanding to try not to let the person they love fall into a dilemma.
Wenliang feels unworthy of this deep love and affection, but now that life has started again, many worldly rules have already been crossed. All he can do is to continue walking on the path ahead with reverence.
As long as you choose to stay, I will never let go!
Zuo Yuxi sat up, her cheeks pressed against his face, her moving red lips exuding a refreshing fragrance, and she said softly: "Don't think too much, this is our own decision..."
When Wen Liang opened his eyes again, it was already past six o'clock the next day. Looking at Zuo Yuxi who was still sleeping beside him, he picked up the phone that was ringing on the bedside table and asked, "Hey, Brother Jiu, where are you?"
"Master Wen, I just got off the plane and am taking a car to the city. Should we meet at the Great World or at another place?"
Unable to figure out Luo Qi's purpose and origins, Wen Liang would never go to the Great World again. He said, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden. Director Zuo also wants to hear what you have to say."
After hanging up the phone, An Baoqing's face was terribly gloomy. He didn't know what happened, but Wen Liang mentioned that it was related to Luo Qi, and his tone was colder than ever before, which was enough to prove that the matter was very serious. So he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to the airport after telling Ye Zhiwei a few words. Fortunately, there was a flight in the early morning, and he got the ticket through his connections, and finally arrived in Qingzhou before dawn.
As soon as he left the airport, he called Wen Liang, only to find out that even Zuo Yuxi was alarmed. He felt even more uneasy, wondering what kind of trouble had happened to Luo Qi that caught him so off guard!
"Go to Diyuan, drive faster!"
The man who came to pick me up was called Shitou. As his name suggests, he had a kind face and dark skin. Although his eyes were not small, they were quite dull. The corners of his mouth were always cracked, and when he laughed, he made a simple and honest sound, which was completely different from the treacherous nature of the poisonous snake. But as the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance. He was chosen by the Minister of Security after the poisonous snake left, so he must have his own strengths.
The car drove into the Imperial Garden and stopped downstairs of Zuo Yuxi's building. An Baoqing took a deep breath, mentally prepared for the worst, and said, "Shi Tou, call Luo Qi immediately and tell him that no matter where he is fooling around now, he should go back to the big world and stay there honestly. I have something to ask him in person."
"Okay!"
Shi Tou smiled and agreed. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a reliable person. However, An Baoqing was not worried at all. He opened the door, got out of the car and went upstairs.
After seeing Wen Liang and Zuo Yuxi, An Baoqing felt relieved, because Wen Liang's first words were: "Brother Jiu, thank you for your hard work in running back overnight!"
This meant that the matter had nothing to do with him. It was probably Luo Qi who acted on his own initiative. He didn't know what had happened to Wen Liang and he was furious. He hurriedly said, "It's only a one or two hour trip. It's not that hard. Master Wen, what's wrong with Luo Qi? I'm so worried..."
Zuo Yuxi said calmly: "No hurry, first tell me how you met Luo Qi? How close are you to each other?"
"That was seven years ago. I went to Hujiang to discuss a treasury bond deal, but I was scammed by a conspiracy and all my money was trapped. When I was at my wits' end, I met Luo Qi through a friend. He had just graduated and was working in a trading company in Hujiang, but he was very smart and proficient in finance. He even knew the tricks of those scams. Because he was from Jiangdong and we were good at talking, he helped me out of justice. Not only did I get my money out of the trap, but he also dug out the gang, allowing me to get revenge. Later, I also helped him deal with some things, and gradually we became familiar with each other," An Baoqing roughly described how the two met. It sounded like they just appreciated each other and had their own destiny, and there was nothing suspicious about it: "... It's just that he has been helping Luo Yun run the company in Lingyang in the past few years. Except for some occasional business dealings, we are not as warm as before when we meet, but I can guarantee that he is a trustworthy person..."
Zuo Yuxi smiled coldly and said, "Can you trust it? Lao Jiu, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. I'm afraid you trust the wrong person!"
An Baoqing was sweating profusely on his forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off. He said, "Director Zuo, I..."
"Okay, it's just a small matter, don't make the atmosphere so serious. Come, Brother Jiu, sit down first, have a glass of water and take a breath. This is what happened with Luo Qi..."
Wen Liang told An Baoqing everything in detail. When he heard that Luo Qi dared to bring Zhou Jing to embarrass Wen Liang in person, his face suddenly became very scary. He stood up and said, "I'll go see him right now and ask him clearly!"
Wen Liang grabbed him and said, "Brother Jiu, don't lose your composure. There is something fishy going on here!"
An Baoqing was also furious for a moment, and did not think carefully about the unreasonableness of it. After listening to Wen Liang's suggestion, he also became suspicious and frowned, saying: "Yes, there is absolutely no reason for him to do this!"
Wen Liang waited for him to calm down and asked, "So, based on your understanding of him, this matter is also suspicious, right?"
An Baoqing nodded and said, "Strange, too strange!"
Wen Liang's eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he said, "Do you remember the first time you mentioned Luo Qi to me? I asked you what kind of person he was. How did you answer me?"
An Baoqing thought about it and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wen, I really don't remember..."
"You said, 'He is more than interesting. After all these years, I still can't find a suitable adjective to describe him. That guy is simply a pervert.' Is that right?" (For details, see Volume 4, Chapter 134, The Teacher Who Understands Dialectics)
An Baoqing was shocked. He didn't expect that after such a long time, Wen Liang could remember every word he said so clearly, even word for word. This cunning mansion was really lamentable and terrifying, and it was daunting. He said, "Yes, that's what I said. Young Master Wen has a good memory!"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "It's not that I have a good memory, but the fact that you call someone a pervert is impressive enough. Tell me, how is he perverted?"
An Baoqing hesitated for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Brother Jiu, I didn't ask before because it was someone else's private matter. Firstly, it has nothing to do with me, and secondly, it is the duty of friends. But now that he has jumped out, he is a potential danger. We have so many things to do, and we don't have the time or energy to play guessing games with him. So no matter whether it involves personal privacy or not, I also need to know everything about him!"
An Baoqing dared not hesitate, glanced at Zuo Yuxi, and said hesitantly: "Luo Qi, he is not a man..."
Wen Liang's eyes almost popped out of his head. Even if the news he heard from An Baoqing was shocking, he would not be so surprised. That tall, straight, handsome guy was not a man
Zuo Yuxi, who had been silent, became curious. She looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by not being a man?"
Wen Liang could only sigh that women's talent for gossip was indeed far greater than that of men. Before he could react, Zuo Yuxi asked the question directly to the point.
Not being a man has two meanings, one is a physical illness, and the other is a physiological difference!
Luo Qi, what kind of person is that charming and shapeless face
(Rabindranath Tagore - When you commanded me to sing, my heart seemed to burst with pride, I looked up at your face, tears welled up in my eyes.
In my socket.
All the bitterness and contradictions in my life melted into a sweet harmony—
My praise is like a joyful bird, flapping its wings across the ocean. (To be continued)
