As soon as he entered the door, a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes suddenly came across and ran into Xia Lei's arms.
"What are you doing?" The blonde looked annoyed. She spoke Russian.
"I'm sorry." Xia Lei hurriedly said modestly in Russian, then walked around the blonde and walked inside.
The blonde suddenly pulled Xia Lei, "You broke my things and want to leave?"
Only then did Xia Lei discover that the Russian girl was holding a handicraft, a conch made of straw. When he hit it, the conch turned into a flat snail.
"Apologizing is not enough." The Russian girl said, holding Xia Lei's arm and not letting go.
Xia Lei was very anxious. He didn't want to argue with the Russian girl. He took out his wallet and took out a few hundred-yuan Chinese coins and stuffed them into the Russian girl's hands.
The Russian girl then let go of Xia Lei's hand, "It doesn't actually take that much."
Xia Lei had no idea what to say to her, so he quickly walked into the coffee shop. However, the man was nowhere to be seen. Chi Jingqiu was still sitting at the table, looking down at the money bag the man gave her.
Xia Lei quickly glanced around the cafe. There were many customers, but the man was nowhere to be seen. His eyes stopped on a door in the work area, and then he chased after it. The man who looked so much like his father couldn't leave through the front door. If he wanted to leave, he would have to go through the back door.
"Sir, you can't go in. This is the work area." A waiter blocked Xia Lei's way.
"Sorry, I'm looking for someone." Xia Lei said.
"It's not possible to find anyone," the waiter said.
Xia Lei opened the waiter's door and chased him through the door.
The entrance is indeed a work area. The employees of the coffee shop are grinding coffee, baking pastries, making ice cream, etc. It is a sign of busyness. At the end of the work area was a back door leading outside. When Xia Lei chased him into the work area, the door was still shaking slightly, as if someone had just rushed out and didn't have time to close the door.
Xia Lei chased towards the back door again. The waiter who blocked the way just now chased him in, but before he could speak, Xia Lei had already chased him out of the back door.
Outside the back door is an alley, dark and unlit. There are buildings on both sides of the alley with no entrance. There are two streets at both ends of the alley, where there are bright lights and constant traffic. However, neither the buildings on either side nor the streets on the left and right could see that man - he was so fast!
Xia Lei's left eye twitched slightly, and many footprints suddenly appeared on the dark ground. He quickly identified the man's footprints because he was the latest person to leave through the back door and his footprints were the freshest and most obvious.
After identifying the man's footprints, Xia Lei followed the direction in which the footprints left and chased him to the right side of the alley. He soon chased him to the end of the alley. People were coming and going on the sidewalk outside the alley, and cars were coming and going on the driveway under the sidewalk, but the man was nowhere to be seen. The man's footprints also disappeared between the sidewalk and the driveway, making them impossible to trace.
"Why is he so fast? Does he know that I am chasing him? Who is he?" Xia Lei was surprised and confused. Then he suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran towards the coffee shop.
He thought of the blond Russian girl. If she hadn't pestered him just now, he would have been able to stop the man before he left. This may seem like a coincidence, but what a coincidence! He had an intuition that the Russian girl was the man's companion. The other party knew his identity, but just didn't want to meet him!
That must be the case, otherwise why didn't the man come to him directly to place the order, instead of going through Chi Jingqiu's hands
Returning to the coffee shop, Chi Jingqiu saw Xia Lei, and she looked surprised. She was about to stop Xia Lei and say something, but Xia Lei hurriedly ran past her as if he didn't see her.
Xia Lei chased him to the front door, but he couldn't see the blonde Russian girl anywhere.
The Russian girl was indeed the man's companion. She had already laid ambush at the front door, waiting for him to show up before bumping into him. She had completed her mission, why would she continue to stay here and wait for Xia Lei to catch up and question her
Xia Lei returned to the cafe, walked directly to the opposite side of Chi Jingqiu, and sat where the man had been sitting before.
"Hmph! You are indeed following me!" Chi Jingqiu took the lead in attacking, "You used this method to pry away Liu Ying as a customer last time, and now you want to use this method to pry away my new customer?"
Xia Lei took a deep breath, calmed down his impatience a little, and then said: "Jingqiu, I didn't want to pry away your customers, I just want to know who gave you this order. I want to know Please tell me everything you know about the identity of the man just now."
Chi Jingqiu sneered, "You are following me. I haven't settled this account with you yet, but you still have the nerve to ask me for customer information? Who do you think you are? Do I need to meet all your requirements? "
"Jingqiu, let me beg you." Xia Lei said.
Chi Jingqiu smiled, "I didn't expect that you would also beg me?"
"Tell me." Although she was sarcastic, Xia Lei always restrained his emotions. If it weren't for the fact that the man looked exactly like his father, he wouldn't have bothered to beg her!
Chi Jingqiu was silent for a moment. She looked at Xia Lei quietly, as if she was thinking about something. Then, an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You beg me, how do you want to beg me?"
"Jingqiu, that man..." Xia Lei wanted to say that the man looked very much like his father, but he swallowed the words back. Although Chi Jingqiu is a high school classmate with him, Xia Lei's father has never been to school, so Chi Jingqiu has never met his father at all, and this matter is very strange. He doesn't want Chi Jingqiu to know too much. More, so he hesitated and changed his mind, "Tell me what you want."
"What do I want? I have to think about it..." Chi Jingqiu looked at Xia Lei with a smile. Under the table, she took off her high heels and stretched her feet in black stockings onto Xia Lei's knees.
Xia Lei's body suddenly stiffened, and he suddenly understood what Chi Jingqiu wanted.
Chi Jingqiu's foot pried open Xia Lei's closed knee under the cover of the tablecloth, then stretched forward against his thigh, and finally stopped in front of the obstacle. Her feet stepped lightly, squeezed, and pressed, unscrupulously.
"I said, there is nothing I, Chi Jingqiu, can't get." Chi Jingqiu giggled, "There is a good hotel nearby. Let's go there and talk."
Xia Lei resisted the feeling and the anger in his heart, "Jingqiu, can we not do this? Tell me, who is that man and how did he find you?"
"Are you begging me? Have you ever begged someone like this?" Under the table, Chi Jingqiu's long legs were like the second hand of a watch, smart and gentle. She could feel Xia Lei's change, and that change excited her. And she always looked like she was convinced of Xia Lei.
Want answers? Then come to bed with me!
This was Chi Jingqiu's unspoken request.
To agree or not to agree? Xia Lei hesitated.
Giving his first time to a woman like Chi Jingqiu? He was unwilling to do so. However, when he thought of the man who looked almost exactly like his father, he couldn't help but want to nod in agreement!
But just when he was in a dilemma, his left eye fell on a cup of cappuccino ordered by the man. The coffee was barely touched and still full. The cup was also very clean, without any fingerprints. However, there was a puddle of coffee stains on the table under the coffee cup.
Xia Lei's eyes stayed on the puddle of coffee stains, and suddenly discovered that they were actually some Russian letters - octopoжho.
This means to be careful.
"Who did he tell to be careful? Me?" Xia Lei's mind was shaken, "Is he really my father?"
Chi Jingqiu's foot was still playing tricks, and her voice had changed, "Leizi, I know you still like me. Let's go to a hotel and book a room. I'll tell you everything you want to know. Don't you always want to Do you want me? I'll give it all to you. I'll also give you the place that my damn husband hasn't touched."
She teased Xia Lei, but her own reaction was even stronger than Xia Lei's.
Xia Lei seemed to suddenly understand something. He reached out and grabbed Chi Jingqiu's leg on top of him and pinched it hard.
"Ouch..." Chi Jingqiu screamed in pain and quickly retracted her legs. She stared at Xia Lei in shame, "What are you doing?"
Xia Lei shook his head, "You actually don't know anything about this customer, right?"
Chi Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, "I don't know, do you know?"
"Forget it, go and get a room by yourself, I won't accompany you." After Xia Lei said that, he stood up and left.
Chi Jingqiu stared hatefully at Xia Lei's back as he blinked away. He stayed there for a long time before saying, "How does he know that I don't know? This guy actually refused when I lowered my status to sleep with him." Me! Damn it!"
Then, she closed her legs tightly, her face flushed obviously. Although Xia Lei had left, she was still thinking about the tofu she had just eaten on Xia Lei.
The reason that made Xia Lei change his mind was very simple. One reason was the Russian words left by the man, and another reason was that the other person acted in such a mysterious and professional way. How could he possibly tell Chi Jingqiu his true identity
Xia Lei crossed the street and returned to Qin Xiang.
"How's it going? I saw you chasing that man, did you catch him?" Qin Xiang asked with concern.
Xia Lei shook his head, "He seemed to know that I was coming and had arranged an escape route early in the morning. He doesn't want to see me, so it's useless for me to chase him."
"He... is he really your father?"
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure, but I believe he will show up again."
Qin Xiang shrugged, "It seems that all the hard work was in vain."
Xia Lei was silent for a moment before saying, "Qin Xiang, don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
Qin Xiang said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Go back." Xia Lei sighed, as if he was exhausted after a day's work.
"Well, don't think too much about it." After saying this, Qin Xiang lit up the Yamaha motorcycle, drove into the driveway with a roar, and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Xia Lei also returned to his Great Wall h6, and his mind was still recalling the appearance of that man.
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
A series of cell phone ringtones interrupted Xia Lei's thoughts. He took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and then slid open the answer button, "Hey, it's me."
Long Bing's voice came from the phone, "I've prepared everything. I'll be waiting for you at the airport and will be here within two hours."
Xia Lei said in surprise: "So fast?"
With these words, Long Bing hung up the phone.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and drove the car in the direction of Liang's house. In two hours, he could say goodbye to Liang Siyao and Liang Zhengchun.
