The entertainment reporter's trick was seen through by the shrewd Aunt Qingxiang. She wanted to run away after the truth was revealed, but she was pinned to the ground by three passing villagers just as she ran out of the B&B.
Although the reporter's behavior was immoral, it was not against the law, so sending him to the police station would be useless. But if we just let him go, everyone felt that it was too easy for him, so after catching him, everyone was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
In the end, Aunt Qingxiang was more clever and took the young man to find the village party secretary. The village party secretary was in a meeting with several village cadres and was shocked when he learned about the young man's evil intentions from Aunt Qingxiang and Aunt Niu.
Xia Zhi and his team donated three rice harvesters to the village, which made it easier for the villagers to harvest rice in the future. They also donated money to build roads in the village, which was a great good deed that would benefit future generations. The villagers were grateful to them as great benefactors, but now they were furious when they heard that someone wanted to harm them. Some of the village cadres had bad tempers and wanted to grab someone and beat him up on the spot, but fortunately they were stopped by the village party secretary in time.
In a society ruled by law, they could not lynch the man even though they arrested him, so in the end the village party secretary came out to criticize the young man and asked him to promise again and again that he would not cause trouble in the village again before letting him go.
When the entertainment reporter came out of the village office, his dark green vest was soaked, his lips were pale and bloodless, and he ran out of the village for his life.
At that time, Xia Zhi and the others were still on the plane back to City A, and they didn't know what happened in the village. Two days later, Aunt Qingxiang called Aunt Hua to tell her about it, and they learned about it from Aunt Hua.
After a four-hour flight, the plane finally landed in City A.
The filming has ended, and Xia Zhi should be able to go back to Y City directly. However, before that, they have to accompany Uncle Hua to the hospital for a check-up. He was a little worried, so he came along as well.
It was the first time for Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua to travel so far and take a plane, so they were very nervous all the way. Fortunately, Xia Zhi and others were there to comfort them, so they arrived in City A smoothly.
When getting off the plane, Sang Luo casually said to Xia Zhi: "You can stay at my house for a few days."
"No!" Xia Zhi refused coldly without even thinking.
"Why?" Sang Luo was dissatisfied. "It's not like you haven't lived here before."
"Don't think I don't know what your intention is," Xia Zhi squinted his eyes and glanced at him coldly, saying without any brotherly love, "It's fine if you die alone, but don't drag me down with you! I'm innocent!"
"… "
Xiao Han heard the conversation between the two, and happily came over to hold Xia Zhi's hand, inviting him enthusiastically: "Then Xia Xia, come and sleep with me. I'm alone, and you can have a companion!"
Xia Zhi did not refuse this time: "Okay!"
Jiang Zhixia, who was walking in front, looked back at the two of them, his lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.
Sang Luo called a driver to pick them up early in the morning. After getting off the plane, they said goodbye to the program staff at the airport and took Aunt Hua and Uncle Hua away.
When the group walked out of the airport, they immediately saw two cars parked at the door. Both were top luxury cars worth millions. One of them was the Maybach 62S that had appeared in the show before.
As soon as Sang Luo saw the car, his expression changed immediately and he uttered a curse through his teeth.
"Fuck! Why is Shi Gou's cunt here?"
Xia Zhi happened to be standing next to him and couldn't help laughing. He patted his shoulder sympathetically and imitated him by speaking through his teeth without moving his lips.
"Good luck."
Sang Luo: “…”
With Xia Zhi taking the lead, the other four also took turns to come over and pat him on the shoulders.
Everyone knew what Sang Luo would encounter next, and they all expressed great sympathy for him, but no one was prepared to lend a helping hand.
If it was Shi Mudong's driver or assistant, Sang Luo would at least have a chance to resist, but if it was Shi Mudong himself, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist. With almost no struggle, Sang Luo obediently got into the Maybach.
The moment the rear door of the Maybach opened, everyone saw the elegant and noble man sitting in the car. From their perspective, they could only see the lower half of his face, with a high nose bridge and sharp lines. The thin silver chain on his glasses quietly fell on his cheek, adding a bit of nobility.
When Sang Luo got into the car, Xia Zhi saw the pair of thin lips that were originally pursed into a line slowly raise an arc that seemed to be a smile, but not a smile. That smile inexplicably reminded him of a fox that had caught its prey, and he silently made a cross for Sang Luo in his heart.
[Come back alive!]
As soon as Sang Luo got in, the car drove away, and the people in the car didn't even bother to say hello to them. It seemed that this big boss was really angry, and he even forgot his proud demeanor. But fortunately, he was not so angry that he lost his mind, and he left a car and Sang Luo's assistant to take them away.
Everyone followed Sang Luo's assistant into the car, preparing to settle Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua down first.
Before they came back, Sang Luo's assistant arranged everything and took Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua directly to the hotel that had been booked in advance.
It was the first time for Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua to travel far away, and also the first time to stay in a hotel, so they were inevitably nervous. So everyone carefully explained to them how to use the equipment in the room, and accompanied them to the restaurant for dinner before leaving.
Jiang Zhixia's home is in the opposite direction of Xiao Han and Cheng Yunan's community. Sang Luo's assistant originally wanted to send Jiang Zhixia home first and then come back to pick up Xia Zhi and the other three. However, this trip back and forth would take at least two hours, so Jiang Zhixia asked his assistant to pick them up.
As agreed before, Xia Zhi followed Xiao Han back home. At present, it seems that before Uncle Hua's condition is confirmed, he cannot leave City A for the time being. However, a few days ago, he received a call from his parents saying that they took his sister to visit relatives in other places. Even if he went back now, there would be no one at home, so he was not in a hurry and stayed in City A for the time being.
When Xia Zhi came to City A before, if he wanted to stay overnight, he would either stay at Sang Luo's house or Xiao Han's house. It was just that although the mansion of Sang Luo's family was comfortable to live in, the aura of the man in Sang Luo's family was too strong. He felt uncomfortable every time he saw the big man. Later, he rarely went there. He either spent some money to stay in a hotel or went to Xiao Han's house to sleep on the bed.
Xiao Han was also very happy to have a roommate, and happily chatted with Xia Zhi all the way. The three of them entered the same residential complex and the same building. The elevator went up to the 12th floor, and Cheng Yunan went out.
"Xia Xia, come to my house for dinner tomorrow morning." After greeting Xia Zhi, Cheng Yunan reminded Xiao Han, "Xiao Han, don't play games tonight, so as not to disturb Xia Xia's rest."
"I know." Xiao Han was quite aggrieved, mumbling, "I'm very tired after a day of hard work, how can I have the energy to play games?"
Xia Zhi smiled and rubbed his head, and suddenly thought: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy a new bed for the study? Have you bought it?"
Xiao Han's expression suddenly froze for a moment, he scratched his head and said, "No, I encountered some problems later and didn't buy it."
Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow: "So, I have to share a bed with you tonight?"
Xiao Han asked depressedly: "Do you mind?"
"No, I just thought of it suddenly and asked casually."
Xiao Han finally smiled and raised his hand to promise: "Don't worry, I promise not to snore, grind my teeth, or talk in my sleep!"
The elevator stopped on the twentieth floor.
Two people came out pushing the luggage.
The front door of Xiao Han's house was unlocked with fingerprints, and Xia Zhi was standing behind waiting. Xiao Han put down his luggage and just as he put his hand on the door handle, the door suddenly opened. Both of them were startled.
"Oh shit! There's a thief in my house?!" Xiao Han jumped up in shock and suddenly opened the door.
The room was brightly lit, and a young man was standing at the door, looking very dignified and not at all panicked as if he had been caught.
Damn it! Are thieves so brazen nowadays? Xia Zhi was shocked and immediately took out his cell phone to call the police, while reaching out to pull Xiao Han over.
However, Xiao Han did not move. Instead, he pointed at the man in the house and asked in shock: "Why are you in my house? Who let you in?"
"Didn't you let me in?" The man in the room looked innocent, "You gave me fingerprint permission yourself."
Listening to the conversation between the two people, it seemed that they knew each other, Xia Zhi put away his phone, walked to Xiao Han and looked at the young man in the room.
The man was tall and thin, with handsome features, wheat-colored skin, and a sunny and healthy look. He didn't look very old, like a college student.
Xia Zhi leaned close to Xiao Han's ear and whispered, "Who is it? Your friend?"
"I'm his roommate." The man answered Xia Zhi before Xiao Han could speak.
"Hiss—" Xia Zhi was shocked again. Living together! Roommates!
Xia Zhi sensed the man's vague hostility towards him, and looked at Xiao Han helplessly: "Why didn't you tell me you had a roommate?"
"I, I don't know either!" Xiao Han's face turned red with anxiety, "He obviously moved out a long time ago!"
Xiao Han raised his head and glared at the young man in the room angrily: "Didn't you move out a long time ago? Why are you back again! Get out of my house right now!"
"When did I say I was moving out?" The man raised his head and said confidently, "We signed a contract and I paid the rent. Now the contract hasn't expired yet, so I won't leave."
Xiao Han was angry and anxious, sweat on his forehead: "I will pay you the penalty! You move out of my house immediately! I want to live with my friend!"
The man looked at Xia Zhi, the wariness in his eyes becoming more and more obvious, and he raised his eyebrows at Xia Zhi as if to provoke her.
"I refuse." The man frowned, "I don't lack money, I lack a place to live."
Xiao Han said angrily: "Then go stay in a hotel!"
The man glanced at Xia Zhi and said coldly, "Why don't you let him stay in a hotel?"
"Can you two be the same?"
Perhaps realizing that Xiao Han was really angry, the man changed his arrogant and rogue attitude, softened his tone and began to negotiate.
"I have something to tell you. Please don't chase me away, okay?" The man's tone changed from arrogant to aggrieved, and he almost pulled Xiao Han's hand and shook it to act like a spoiled child. "There may be some misunderstandings between us. Can you give me a chance to explain, please?"
Xia Zhi had been silent since the beginning, watching the fun with great interest. When he saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, secretly amazed in his heart - it seems that this man is really familiar with Xiao Han, and he even knows whether this guy is soft-hearted and not hard-hearted.
Seeing the man lower his attitude, Xiao Han was indeed a little shaken, but when he thought of Xia Zhi, he couldn't help but struggle, and finally stammered: "How about, let's do it another day. I, I'm not convenient today, you leave first."
The man neither refused nor agreed, but just looked at Xiao Han in silence with drooping eyebrows, like a big dog abandoned by its owner.
Xiao Han lowered his head and didn't dare to look. He twisted the hem of his clothes with his fingers, just as confused as his mood at the moment.
Xia Zhi finally finished watching the excitement, and the corners of his mouth curled up silently. He walked over, patted Xiao Han on the shoulder and said, "Don't chase him away. Just have a good talk tonight."
Xiao Han said in embarrassment: "What about you?"
"I'll find a hotel nearby to spend the night."
Xiao Han felt extremely guilty, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Why don't we stay in a hotel and you stay at my house."
Xia Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Helplessly, he reached out and patted his head gently. Without saying anything, he carried his luggage and walked towards the elevator.
Xiao Han quickly followed: "Then I'll take you down."
"No need." Xia Zhi stopped him from following in. "It's not my first time here. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find the way out. Your friend seems to be in a hurry. You should go back quickly."
Xiao Han stood outside the elevator with a pursed mouth and a helpless look on his face. He waited until the numbers above started to jump before he walked home reluctantly.
Xia Zhi came out of Xiao Han's house and used his mobile phone app in the elevator to search for nearby hotels. The search results showed that the nearest hotel was two kilometers away and the environment looked good, so he prepared to take a taxi there.
However, as soon as he walked out of the community, he received a call from Jiang Zhixia.
Xia Zhi hesitated for two seconds and answered: "What's the matter?"
"Are you still in Xiaohan Community?"
"Well… "
"Wait for me for a moment, I'm on my way here."
"What are you doing here?"
"Xiao Han said that he had something urgent to do at home and couldn't receive you, so he asked me to take you to my house."
