On the way, Lu Yan seemed unusually silent because of what had happened in the past few days, and Jiang Chengyi didn't know why, but he cherished words like gold.
It was too quiet in the car, Lu Yan silently thought about Ding Jing, and felt a little cold for no reason. She was about to put on her coat, but when she turned her face, she found that Jiang Chengyi not only did not speak, but his face was getting more and more stinky. He was stunned by that inexplicable smile when he was driving, and he couldn't help but look down at the clothes on his body slightly.
The knitted skirt has a straight neckline, and the entire shoulders are exposed. The skirt is so short that it must be sat upright at all times, otherwise it will be suspected of disappearing at any time.
She couldn't wear such a dress several times a year, just because she was going to Da Zhong's birthday party tonight. As Tang Jie's best friend, she was obliged to dress herself up a bit.
During the few days she lived in Jiang Chengyi's house, firstly, she didn't bring a few clothes out, and secondly, she was too preoccupied with dressing up. All day long, she was nothing more than a black sweater, black pants, and high heels, with a white or gray coat on top.
Compared with the elegant dress tonight, she was really too casual the first two days, and it seemed that she was looking forward to the party tonight.
She blinked, tucked one side of her hair behind her ear, then propped her arm against the car window as if nothing had happened, and looked out the window.
After driving for a while, Jiang Chengyi seemed to feel stuffy in the car, and suddenly opened the window to let the night wind in.
Lu Yan was thinly dressed, and agitated by the cold, her throat tickled, and she couldn't help coughing twice.
The window was quickly closed again.
One hot and one cold, the car was even more silent, but the two of them seemed to be in a competition, and they were both calm and silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chengyi's phone suddenly rang. Although Lu Yan didn't look back, she felt the ringing sound was unprecedentedly pleasant.
But after several beeps, Jiang Chengyi didn't seem to hear it and never answered.
Lu Yan was startled, realizing that he probably didn't come out with a bluetooth headset, she turned her face, looked around in the car with her eyes, and didn't see the phone, so she asked him, "Where is the phone, do you want me to pick it up for you? ?"
After a few seconds, Jiang Chengyi said, "In my trouser pocket."
Lu Yan glanced at him and didn't move.
Jiang Chengyi looked straight ahead, still maintaining a paralyzed expression on his face: "It should be Lao Qin's phone."
It was so late, Lao Qin wouldn't call for no reason, Jiang Chengyi had a lot of cases in his hands, if he missed the call, who knew what the consequences would be, so Lu Yan had to lean over and reach into his trouser pocket. cell phone.
He wears a black short jacket as usual today. The style is slightly different from last time. It is only when he gets closer that he can find the subtle difference. Black trousers, and the shirt is a slightly lighter gray-black. On occasions, a tie is also tied around the neck. The tie is dark blue, with a low-key woven logo, which is particularly chic.
Lu Yan knew that Jiang Chengyi didn't have time to go shopping. Eighty percent of these clothes were made by Aunt Jiang, and the sets were matched early and kept in the closet. Every morning, before Jiang Chengyi goes out, he just picks up a set and puts it on, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
The bell was still ringing, and her hand went in along the edge of his right pocket. She couldn't find it, so she couldn't help but stay for a while. Then she remembered that Jiang Chengyi was left-handed. According to his habit, most of his mobile phones were kept on the left.
She had to lean a little harder and lean into his left pocket to find it.
He got too close, and the masculine scent of his body pierced his nose. Lu Yan pretended that she couldn't see his chest and Adam's apple, and slipped her hand into his trousers pocket without looking away.
Across the trousers, the heat in her palms approached, and her palms seemed to be crawled by ants, itching.
She tried hard to clear the distracting thoughts in her mind and reached for her phone as quickly as possible.
After taking it out, she let out a sigh of relief, pressed the speakerphone key, and it turned out to be Lao Qin: "Team Jiang."
Jiang Chengyi didn't answer immediately, but first opened the car window and blew the cold wind for a few seconds before clearing his throat and saying, "Old Qin, what's the matter."
Lu Yan lowered her long eyelashes and sat back in place.
"Wang Qiang has news."
Lu Yan thought about it before she could understand who this "Wang Qiang" was referring to. When she reacted, she was surprised at the efficiency of Jiang Chengyi and the others, and hurriedly listened.
When talking about business, Lao Qin always went straight to the point: "I'll take Xiao Zhou and the others to arrest Wang Qiang. He is hiding in Fuyun Road. According to the informant, Wang Qiang has been very rich recently, as if he had just taken over. There was a large order. A few days ago, I went to a nightclub for the first time to invite some buddies to pick up girls. The brothers asked Wang Qiang what business he was doing recently. Wang Qiang refused to tell him at first. Ask him to deal with a girl at a high price—that is, Dr. Xiao Lu, Wang Qiang said that the price the other party offered is enough for him to spend several years, and even if he is caught, he will just stay for a year and a half, and he will spend the same money after he comes out."
"Wang Qiang also said that the person who hired him was also a girl. Although the girl always entrusted a middleman to pass messages to him, the middleman accidentally missed the point, saying that the reason why the girl wanted to deal with Dr. Xiao Lu was not only because of Xiao Lu The doctor steals the man from the girl, and recently she always pretends to be a ghost to scare her. The girl hates and is afraid, so he asks Wang Qiang to treat her with his own way, first scare and scare Dr. Xiao Lu, and then seize the opportunity Take Doctor Lu—"
After all, he was someone he knew, so Lao Qin was a little speechless, and after a while, he continued: "I want him to find a place where no one is around to knock Dr. Xiao Lu into a coma, take a nude photo and post it on the Internet and send it to their work unit. Shit, it's fucking bad."
Blood rushed to Lu Yan's forehead, her breath stuck in her chest, and she choked for a long time without speaking.
Jiang Chengyi's face was so gloomy that he was dripping with water: "Have you found out how he and the middleman usually connect?"
Lao Qin: "I asked, the informant doesn't know, but yesterday when Wang Qiang was having a late-night snack at a food stall, the informant heard Wang Qiang drunkenly murmuring, saying that women are unreliable when they do business, and they agreed to wait for the next two days. Part of the money was paid, but the girl disappeared from the world and couldn't be contacted at all—hey, that, I'm almost here with Team Jiang, so I won't talk about it for now."
"Beep beep", put off the phone.
After a while, Lu Yan calmed down the anger that was stirring in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Chengyi say, "Before the incident last Sunday, did you notice whether Ding Jing sent someone to follow you."
Lu Yan had already suspected Ding Jing for a long time, and was not surprised to hear this: "No. Except for the sound of footsteps at the door twice at night, and recently I have been receiving harassing calls for no apparent reason, and I have not found anything unusual."
She gradually calmed down and tried her best to recall the woman in the video. No, she has known Ding Jing for many years, and that woman will never be Ding Jing, so she said, "The woman who came to my door in the middle of the night to scare me is an accomplice that Wang Qiang found. Is it?"
Jiang Chengyi's face was still cloudy, and after a while, he said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll know when he catches Wang Qiang and asks."
Lu Yan guessed again: "Is it because Ding Jing has already been killed, so the agreed payment was not paid in time and did not contact Wang Qiang?"
Most likely so.
Jiang Chengyi didn't say yes or no, Qingshan Villa was already in front of him, he glanced out the window, turned on the turn signal, and turned left into the traffic lane.
The Qingshan villa area has always been under strict access control. Without the permission of the owner, foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter. Lu Yan did not care to continue the topic just now. She quickly took out her mobile phone and called Tang Jie: "Tang Jie, we are here."
Tang Jie hurriedly said on the phone, "Okay, I'll call the security room at the door."
Dazhong's Villa is located in the inner part of the whole villa area, building No. 10.
Before we got close, I could already see the lights in the building like daytime, and the temporary parking spaces on the roadside were full of cars. It can be seen that there are not many guests tonight. Jiang Chengyi drove slowly for a while before finding a parking space in the innermost part.
After parking the car, two people were greeted at the door. Lu Yan turned her head and smiled, "Big Bell, Tang Jie."
The big clock wears glasses, is tall and gentle, and has a good smile.
Tang Jie was wearing a long red dress with a deep V-neck, a pair of large meteor-shaped earrings on her ears, and 13-centimeter high-heeled shoes that stepped on the ground as if walking on the ground.
As soon as she saw Lu Yan and Jiang Chengyi, Tang Jie laughed loudly: "You two are finally here, come in quickly, there are many people inside, but it's very lively." She couldn't help but break up and pull Lu Yan into the room.
Da Zhong is close to the Jiang family, so although he is not familiar with him, he knows Jiang Chengyi. As soon as he arrives in front of him, he leads Jiang Chengyi to walk inside, laughing as he walks: "I have been busy in the United States for the past few months. Regarding the documentary, I didn't expect to hear Tina say that you have returned to City B as soon as you came back, how is it, are you still used to returning to City S for the past few months?"
Tina is Tang Jie's English name.
Jiang Chengyi put his hands in his trouser pockets, smiled and said, "I grew up here, I'm not used to it, and I'm used to it. By the way, how is my aunt's health? She's almost recovered." had an operation.
Dazhong: "It's much better. Thank you for coming to the party tonight, I'm really happy."
The four walked in.
The whole house is staggered, and the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed.
Hearing the movement, many people in the house stopped talking and looked towards the door in unison.
Lu Yan looked up, and only then did she understand what Tang Jie meant by "being compared".
Da Zhong himself is a director, and most of his friends are in the film and television industry. At this time, just as Tang Jie said, everyone looks outstanding, and at a glance, the whole room seems to have a hazy layer of jewels.
In the huge living room, a group of brightly dressed young people sat around the sofa. The one in the middle was about twenty-five or six years old.
Although Lu Yan doesn't pay much attention to film and television, she still recognizes at a glance that the person is Hua Dan, whose name is Zheng Xiaowen. Recently, she has been in the limelight in the circle, and she has just been nominated for the best female lead candidate of a certain film festival.
Zheng Xiaowen has big black wavy curly hair, and a thin orange one-piece dress with a bright and spicy color. The color is extremely tricky. Thanks to her bright features, she can hold it down.
There were two men sitting beside her. One was in his forties and his name was Zhang Dashan. He was a famous director. He had directed several well-known films. Zheng Xiaowen became popular because he played the heroine in his films. The relationship was ambiguous, and both parties denied it.
The other man was less than thirty, and Lu Yan felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he had met him.
Several people seemed to be playing games, and a girl made a wish to the pile of tarot-like things spread out on the coffee table: "Ah, God, God, let me receive a good script as soon as possible. ."
Zheng Xiaowen looked at her sideways: "If you receive a good script, what price are you willing to pay?"
The girl smiled very subtly: "Of course I cherish the opportunity to film well."
Zheng Xiaowen pursed her lips coquettishly: "There is nothing in this world that comes for nothing, I want to say that people's desires are endless, to realize one wish, one has to exchange another beloved thing for it. ."
Zhang Dashan was talking in a low voice with the man next to him. Hearing this, he continued with a smile: "Yo, Xiaowen's argument is quite new, where did you hear it."
Zheng Xiaowen didn't speak anymore, she looked at the door lazily, glanced at Jiang Chengyi, who was talking to the big clock, and settled down.
A few seconds later, Di Yoo spun around on him, and then slowly averted his eyes and turned to look at Lu Yan beside Jiang Chengyi, seeing that the girl had fair skin, bright eyes, outstanding beauty, and not too many eyes on her dress. , but with the blessing of beautiful legs and buttocks, as soon as she appeared at the door, she was really surprised. She held up her champagne glass and glanced up and down at Lu Yan with slight contempt. After a while, she took a slow sip. He glanced back at Jiang Chengyi again.
At this time, Da Zhong invited Jiang Chengyi and Lu Yan to enter, and said with a smile, "These two are good friends of Tang Jie and I. Come, let me introduce you."
