Outside the French window was a bird's-eye view of the sky and the city of Jinghai. The man heard the noise and slowly turned around, revealing a face that Zheng Yubai often saw on TV. However, compared to the scenery on TV, Yao Qian looked a little older now. I don't know if it was because of the death of his only son, not only his hair had turned a lot whiter, but also the wrinkles on his face had deepened a lot.

"Are you the messenger sent by Miss Xu?" Yao Qian walked to the desk and sat down, asking coldly.

Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "Miss Xu gave me 500 yuan and asked me to deliver a letter to Mr. Yao." He handed over the letter.

The man in black took the letter and handed it to Yao Qian, who opened it and read it carefully.

Zheng Yubai couldn't see the words on the letter, but he could see Yao Qian's expression. Yao Qian's face changed from gloomy and gloomy at first to a little surprised, and then the corners of his mouth actually rose a little, it seemed that this letter brought him good news.

"Very good..." Yao Qian looked much more relaxed after reading the letter. He waved his hand and said to the man in black beside him, "Give him a tip and let him go."

Until he was sent to the door of the Palace Hotel, Zheng Yubai was still surprised that the matter was resolved so quickly, and he even had a 1,000 yuan tip from Yao Qian. But when he sat in the taxi and found a black car following behind him at a leisurely pace, he finally understood why Xu Jin wanted to find someone who was skilled in kung fu and brave to do this.

"Driver, turn left ahead." Zheng Yubai leaned back in his chair comfortably, already having a plan in mind.

In the tracking car, several men in black chatted while paying attention to the movement of the taxi in front. When they saw the taxi turn a corner, they hurriedly followed it. The taxi accelerated in front and turned another corner in a flash, entering a densely populated residential area.

The driver stepped on the accelerator and hurriedly chased after it, but when he turned around, a truck happened to come out and blocked the road tightly. After the truck passed, the taxi had disappeared. The men in black looked at each other, knowing that they would be in trouble when they returned.

Zheng Yubai returned home and saw Xu Jin and Yu Luo busy in the kitchen. An intoxicating smell of red wine wafted out of the kitchen. It seemed that they were indeed making beef braised in red wine.

"How's the matter?" Hearing the sound of the door, Xu Jin immediately ran out of the kitchen. She was wearing a white apron and holding a spatula in her hand. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail behind her head, probably because of cooking. She seemed to have lost some of her sexiness and charm, and had become more gentle and beautiful.

"It went smoothly, except that someone was following us." Zheng Yubai scratched his head and told Xu Jin exactly what had happened.

Xu Jin was a little nervous at first, but when he heard that Zheng Yubai had gotten rid of the stalkers, his face was filled with joy and he said with a smile, "Thank you so much. By the way, the food will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

Zheng Yubai smelled the fragrance from the kitchen and looked out. Yu Luo was happily cooking. The beef in the pot was simmered in red wine. The color was bright and it looked very delicious.

Recently, Zheng Yubai has been eating bread and instant noodles to fill his stomach. He really has no resistance to delicious food. Besides, it is still early before work, so he is happy to wait in the dining room for dinner.

After a while, Yu Luo came out wearing a pair of big gloves, smiling and holding the pot. He instructed Zheng Yubai to put a mat on the dining table, and then put the pot down.

When he opened the lid of the pot, the aroma of red wine and beef wafted into his nose, and Zheng Yubai couldn't help swallowing.

"It smells good, right? Don't eat it secretly. You have to wait until my sister and I are done." Yu Luo warned Zheng Yubai.

Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "I won't eat secretly."

Yu Luo hummed a song and went to the kitchen to busy herself. Zheng Yubai saw her jumping around like a child and wondered what the relationship was between these two beauties and Yao Qian

The meal was finally ready. The main dish was the fragrant beef stewed in red wine. There was also a vegetable salad and tomato scrambled eggs made by Yu Luo. Xu Jin also made a pickled mustard and shredded pork soup. Three dishes, one soup and fragrant rice, this meal was a bit too sumptuous compared to Zheng Yubai's daily meals.

"Let's eat!" Yu Luo served everyone the food, waved his chopsticks and said happily.

Zheng Yubai didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. It was indeed delicious.

"Is it delicious? This is my sister's specialty." Yu Luo said proudly, as if the dish was cooked by her.

Zheng Yubai nodded repeatedly: "It's really delicious." As he said this, he took a few mouthfuls of rice to show that what he said was sincere.

Xu Jin smiled slightly: "If it tastes good, eat more. I am really grateful to you today."

"You're welcome. Yao Qian even gave me a thousand yuan tip." Zheng Yubai smiled. "Three months of rent is waived and I get to eat such a delicious meal. This letter delivery is worth it."

"He gave you money?" Xu Jin was startled. "Can you take it out and let me see it?"

Zheng Yubai took out the 1,000 yuan he had just received from his pocket. Yu Luo took it and looked through it over and over again. She went back to her room and fiddled with her computer for a while. When she came out of the room, she made a reassuring gesture to Xu Jin.

"I'll give it back to you." Yu Luo returned the money to Zheng Yubai.

Zheng Yubai was confused: "What happened?"

Xu Jin said, "Nothing, I'm just afraid Yao Qian will do something with the money. Yao Qian is a very powerful person, so it's always better to be careful when doing business with him."

"Oh, just talking about business..." Zheng Yubai is not stupid. How can you talk about business like this? It's more like saying that the kidnappers in the kidnapping case are on guard against the police tracking. However, seeing that Xu Jin and Yu Luo were not going to explain clearly, he stopped asking. Everyone has privacy, and if it is not necessary, it is better to keep a little secret for each other.

The three of them tacitly avoided this sensitive topic and chatted about other things casually. Although Xu Jin didn't talk much, her views on things were always to the point and very creative. Yu Luo was innocent and cute, and often said some interesting words, and even a lot of "Internet language" that Zheng Yubai had never heard of. After chatting with them about all sorts of things and eating delicious food, Zheng Yubai felt very happy during this dinner.

After dinner, Zheng Yubai wanted to wash the dishes, but Yu Luo snatched them away. Sitting comfortably on the sofa, chatting with the beautiful Xu Jin, Zheng Yubai suddenly imagined that it would be great if every day in the future would be like this.

"I still don't know what your job is." Xu Jin suddenly asked.

"I... I'm an apartment manager." Zheng Yubai scratched his head and said.

"Oh." Xu Jin responded calmly. He was not disappointed, and naturally he did not have any curiosity to ask further questions.

"What about you? I don't know what your job is either." Zheng Yubai asked Xu Jin.

"Keep it a secret." Xu Jin smiled. In Zheng Yubai's eyes, she was a woman who knew how to make use of her beauty. Her slightly tilted face had an almost perfect arc. This smile showed all the advantages of her beautiful appearance, which was quite stunning. (To be continued)
