Between mountains and seas
Chapter 79
If Shao Jingxing thought of someone to suspect, Tang Jia would be the first thing he would think of now.
Her voice was completely reborn, because of Zheng Yingying's car accident, she got the chance to sing as the female No. 2, and Mr. Wang fell ill during that performance. No matter how you think about it, it's her!
"There is no evidence." Huang Yu muttered, "Besides, even if that Tang Jia really awakened the power, we have no evidence to prove that she induced Elder Wang's illness." This is the most troublesome thing.There are so many strange ways in which supernatural beings use supernatural powers, and ordinary monitoring methods cannot obtain evidence at all.
However, Shao Jingxing was full of enthusiasm: "Let's find out if she is talking about it first. It's really not possible—" He wanted to say that it was really not possible and there would be fishing law enforcement, but he reckoned that he would be reprimanded if he said it, so he swallowed it back in time.
"How do you figure it out?" Huang Yu stared, "We can't even see anyone."
"I can see you!" Speaking of this, Shao Jingxing was confident, "I'll contact her."
Huo Qing was listening, and suddenly asked at this moment: "Since you can contact her, why did you ask Qiu Yizhu to find out about her before?"
Shao Jingxing choked suddenly.For, why?Of course it's because I want to avoid suspicion!
The last time Tang Jia went to Linghai, what he said meant that he wanted to restore the old friendship—peh, bah, they didn't have the old friendship at all, Tang Jia probably just lacked money.
At that time, he was still a little puzzled, thinking that Tang Jia was about to become famous, so why would he come back to him.Now that I think about it, maybe she has awakened the supernatural power, and she will have abnormalities like Zheng Yingying, and it will definitely cost a lot of money for treatment.After all the calculations, it means that he has always been generous, giving money without asking for anything in return.
Hey, thinking about it this way, he seems to have been taken advantage of... No wonder those people call him "Young Master Jing" every day, it really is two miles away!
Shao Jingxing couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.But after thinking about it again, it was worth it to be able to wait until Huo Qing, and she suddenly became happy again: "Well, she talked to a friend of mine before, she was not afraid of embarrassment when meeting..."
This is not a lie.When Tang Jia first showed up, some of his cronies had indeed tried to get her idea, but they gave up when they found it difficult to get started.Now just take it out as a shield.Ah, what a clever fellow he is!
However, Huang Yu was not fooled, and whispered: "Is it a friend? Or Brother Shao yourself?"
I'll go, can I still be good friends?Colleagues love it!
Shao Jingxing really wanted to grab Huang Yu and shake him, but with Huo Qing at his side, he could only say sternly: "Xiao Huang, why are you doing this? You can't have any trust between people? You always It's doubts, how can we work together in the future? Besides, why do you doubt me? Is it because you got into a box at KTV? Didn't you investigate what happened afterwards?"
Huang Yu really hasn't investigated it.First of all, he sneaked in to inquire about Yangyan Pills, and a little waiter wanted to inquire about who was the benefactor who called someone that day?Who will tell him!
Secondly, he didn't know that Shao Jingxing had left until he returned to the private restaurant, and later he heard that he went to the capital, so he thought he would never see each other for the rest of his life, so naturally he wouldn't bother to inquire about it.
As a result, it was only now that I found out that Shao Jingxing had returned after going around for a while, and wanted to fight side by side as a colleague.Thinking about it this way, he is obviously not the same as that kind of flamboyant dude. I always question him, it seems that something is wrong, I can't be prejudiced just because I heard that he is rich, and besides, Shao Jingxing donated all his family property to run What about the scholarship fund...
Thinking about it, Huang Yu couldn't help feeling a little ashamed: "I shouldn't doubt you..."
"That's right——" Shao Jingxing took the opportunity to clean himself up, "I am a well-behaved person, but if you are a gangster in that circle, you will be excluded if you are too out of place, so sometimes you have to play tricks to deal with it."
He explained a few sentences, then felt a little guilty, and quickly changed the topic: "I tried to find a way to ask Tang Jia out, but how can I confirm whether she has awakened the power?"
This is indeed a problem.Ability is not pure power of mountains and seas, it cannot be detected.Moreover, the mermaid ability is not a beast, even the fur of a fuzzy little tengu will not respond to it.It can be said that unless Tang Jia uses the ability, they will not be able to judge.
The three of them looked at each other for a while, and it was still Shao Jingxing who made a decision: "It doesn't matter, let's ask her out to meet up first."
As he spoke, he started to dial the phone, but after nearly a minute, it was Tang Jia's velvety voice that answered: "Young Master Jing? I'm so sorry, I was just taking a shower, so I couldn't answer the phone in time .”
"It's just my phone call." Shao Jingxing said with a smile, "Are you free today, come out for dinner together?"
"Jing Shao came to the capital?" Tang Jia sounded quite surprised, "When did you come?"
"In a few days." Shao Jingxing said nonsense, "It's not that my uncle has been promoted to the capital, and I followed him to play for two days. After some inquiries, you haven't performed in the past few days, that's why you called."
Tang Jia choked suddenly.Originally, she wanted to use the excuse that the performance required practice as an excuse to decline, but who knew that the other party took the first step and blocked her way.
Tang Jia didn't want to go out.Just now they called her to tell her to be careful, but Shao Jingxing called in a few minutes, she was really not sure.But now that Shao Jingxing's second uncle has been promoted to the capital, she is not easy to offend.Although it can help her block some things over there, it is impossible to protect her in all directions without dead ends, and I don't want to offend some people because of her, otherwise she would not have to come out to socialize by herself now.
What's more, what they said there was to let her avoid it, obviously they didn't want to conflict with Shao Jingxing.Tang Jia was thinking of finding another excuse, but Shao Jingxing had already said with a smile: "Why, now that you are popular, do you despise your old friends? Or do you still regret that I didn't treat you well when you went to Linghai a few days ago? Don't So stingy, let me save face, and I have two friends with me, both of whom are your fans."
Tang Jia's heart shuddered.Don't look at Shao Jingxing's good temper when he looks at people who are stupid, rich and rich, but the second generation is the second generation after all, if he loses face in front of his friends, they will not let it go.At that time, if Shao Jingxing really refused to let her go, would they help her?
It should be possible to save her, after all, she is still useful.But whether she can continue the current momentum, whether she can go further and get a better role, I'm afraid it's hard to say.After all, to her, what matters is her voice, not her fame.Or if she lost her reputation, she could only listen to their orders, which would be better for her?
"Looking at what Jing Shao said, what kind of popularity am I, but I just played a role, not the protagonist." Tang Jia thought for a moment, and could only brace herself to deal with it, "Since Jing Shao is here, of course I have time. Jing Shao said a place, and I'll be there on time." Shao Jingxing was easy to deal with, but he didn't know who the two friends he brought with him were.
Hearing that the address was indeed a restaurant, Tang Jia breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and dialed another number: "Just now Shao Jingxing called me and asked me out... Yes, it's tonight, I can only agree... ..."
"Go." The voice on the other side of the phone didn't take it seriously, "Do it naturally, and you won't be discovered."
"No——" Tang Jia was a little anxious, "He said he brought two friends, if they..." What if they have any excessive demands?
"It's okay." The other side of the phone was still casual, "Don't worry, as long as you don't show your feet, everything will be fine."
This is simply a chicken talking to a duck!Tang Jia was about to speak, but the phone had already been hung up: "I still have something to do, please pay attention to yourself."
Throwing the phone on the bed, Tang Jia really wanted to curse, but she didn't dare.Looking at Zheng Yingying's fate, one can know the result of confronting them.Zheng Yingying still climbed to the Wang family, but ended up in a daze, and she has no foundation, the result will only be worse.
I really regret it... Tang Jia clenched her fists tightly, and her neatly manicured nails dug deeply into her palms.The teacher at the Conservatory of Music told her that although her voice is good, there are many people with the same level. It is impossible to reach the sky in one step. If she really wants to sing, he can introduce a few jobs to her Get paid and wait to see if there is a chance.
But then she didn't want to wait.While she is young now, she still has the capital to give it a go. If she drags on, she will have no chance after the age of 30.
So she took the luck bead Zheng Yingying gave her—of course she knew now that it wasn't a luck bead at all, it gave her a heavenly voice and dragged her into the quagmire.
It's just too late to say anything now.When the man found her, she had already met the director of "Snow Night" through the bead and Zheng Yingying's introduction, and she was very hopeful of getting the role, and she was reluctant to give up.And at that time, she felt that she could do what Zheng Yingying could do. After all, Zheng Yingying's good voice also came from this transfer bead.
If time could go back in time, Tang Jia would definitely return the beads to that man on the spot, and then...
Then what? The role of "Snow Night" is definitely not available, she must go back to find the teacher at the music school, or give up her dream of singing and find another job...
Tang Jia covered her face with her hands.If time goes back and everything happens again, can she really reject that man?No, she knew she couldn't refuse.On one side is ordinary life, all kinds of careful calculations kill the fun of life; on the other side are flowers, applause, stage and spotlights, which are things she has dreamed of since she was a child.Between the two, she will definitely choose the latter!
It's just the price now... Tang Jia smiled wryly and reached out to touch his calf.Now there is no abnormality there, the skin that was once dark brown and black, rough to the touch, has returned to whiteness and softness, and even the colorful fine hairs in the knee bends have disappeared.
But Tang Jia knew that those things were still hidden under her skin and in her body.The current normal is only because she has been wearing this throat bead for a long time. According to them, it is the awakening of supernatural powers, and she can already control her body.But if the throat beads are taken away at this time, her body will gradually return to its original shape, and those scales and fine hairs will grow back...
"I can't go back..." Tang Jia murmured.She knew that it was impossible to go back.From the time she obeyed their orders, with her singing, she put their chosen target into a perpetual slumber, and there was no turning back.
Reluctantly pulling himself together, Tang Jia put on light makeup in front of the mirror, changed her clothes, and was ready to go out for the appointment.But when she looked down and saw the throat bead on her neck, she thought about it and took it off—although the man said it didn't matter, what if it was discovered?
Shao Jingxing didn't think of it until he saw the restaurant's door: "By the way, can the meal be reimbursed?" This place is not cheap.
Huo Qing said with a straight face: "The food and beverage expenses are limited to one hundred per person."
"300 yuan?" Shao Jingxing was shocked, "It's not enough for two glasses of wine! There are four of us for dinner..."
Huang Yu's expression collapsed: "Why did you choose this kind of place?" It looks very high-end at first glance.
Shao Jingxing opened his mouth, and it took a few seconds before he said: "A friend recommended this place before, saying that this place has a good environment and good food. It's quite suitable..." It's just that his consumption level at that time was different from what it is now...
"You rich people think it's suitable..." Huang Yu looked disgusted, "The special affairs department doesn't have such a high budget. Last time, the three beauty pills were approved for a long time before they were reported."
"Then what should we do?" Shao Jingxing had a bitter face, he was also a poor man now.
"Change place?" Huang Yu suggested.
"That's so embarrassing!" Shao Jingxing refused, "Forget it, I'll just have a meal anyway." He still has the last 10,000+ in his hand, and a meal is still enough.
"I won't eat, just give me a glass of water." Huang Yu thoughtfully saved him money.
"That's even more embarrassing..." Shao Jingxing could imagine that he was eating with Tang Jia, and Huang Yu was watching them with a glass of water, like a beggar...Bringing such a friend out, it's better to change to another restaurant.
No, I can't afford to lose that face!Shao Jingxing gritted his teeth.The head can be broken and blood can bleed, and the face cannot be lost. Even if the face is swollen, this fat man has to hold on.Originally, the clothes they are wearing now are not very high-end, especially Huang Yu, t-shirts and jeans, that is, they can barely enter this place.
Wearing ordinary clothes to spend here can be called eclectic.If he went to an ordinary restaurant wearing such clothes, then... Anyway, Shao Jingxing didn't dare to think that he never did such a thing when he grew up!
So in the end Shao Jingxing gritted his teeth and went in, and Tang Jia came in time.Looking at her exquisite makeup and clothes, Shao Jingxing was glad that he didn't say to change places.
"Young Master Jing, these two are—" Tang Jia could tell at a glance that the three people in front of her were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and the tall young man was so good-looking that she suspected that he was a model hired by Shao Jingxing; But the youngest one - no matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary high school student.
"My friends. Xiao Huo, Xiao Huang." Shao Jingxing broke the can at the moment, simply forgot to think about the amount on the bank card, and handed the menu to Tang Jia in a cool manner, "Order whatever you like."
Although the clothes seem worthless, but the tone is still the original "Young Master Jing".Tang Jia was in a daze. She had no intention of eating at first, so she ordered two dishes at random and handed back the menu.Shao Jingxing took it over and flipped it over, pointing his fingers painfully: "This, this, and this. Here's a bottle of wine—by the way, I remember you said that you can't drink too much while singing?"
"Yes—" Tang Jia smiled, "But if Young Master Jing wants to drink, then I'll accompany you."
"Forget it. You need to protect your throat now." Shao Jing Xingba had to order wine, which would save a lot of money, and quickly took the menu to the waiter with an upright face, "I don't drink anymore, let's have some juice That’s good, it’s still healthy.”
"Jing Shao is always so considerate of others..." Tang Jia was slightly relieved when he heard that he would not drink.She was really afraid that Shao Jingxing would make a mess after drinking, what should she do then?
After a while, all the dishes were served, Shao Jingxing poured a glass of fruit juice for Tang Jia, and quickly poured a glass for Huo Qing as well.
Huang Yu who was left out: "..." Let's pour it by ourselves.
Tang Jia looked at it coldly, feeling more and more relieved.It seems that this person surnamed Huo is indeed Shao Jingxing's person, so she will be safer.Feeling relieved, she became more casual when talking to Shao Jingxing: "When did Young Master Jing come to the capital?" Now that he had hired someone, why did he remember to meet her again?
"I ran errands with my second uncle a few days ago." Shao Jingxing said casually, pointing to Huang Yu, "Xiao Huang liked you very much after listening to "Snow Night". I didn't hear that I knew you, so I asked for it." Please come out and have a meal."
Tang Jia smiled skillfully at Huang Yu: "Thank you for your support." This Jing Shao is quite willing to make friends with people of all levels and teachings, and this person in front of him is probably a friend he met from nowhere.
Huang Yu didn't expect that this fan personality would fall on him.He did have experience as a fan, but he didn't know anything about musicals, let alone "Snow Night", so he put aside the music and pretended to take out a notebook and ask Tang Jia to sign it.
Shao Jingxing opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Xiao Huang just loves this one. He has also heard Zheng Yingying's concert before. He originally thought that "Snow Night" would be sung by Zheng Yingying, but he didn't know it until he bought the tickets. But he When I went to listen to it, I said you sang well, almost like Zheng Yingying."
Tang Jia's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zheng Yingying's name, but on the surface she could only smile and say, "That's senior, I still have a lot to learn."
"Miss Tang's voice is very similar to Zheng Yingying's." Huo Qing suddenly said next to her, "Could it be taught by a teacher?"
Tang Jia's heart thumped again, and she quickly laughed and said, "That's not true. But I liked Sister Zheng very much before, and I intended to imitate her—and I was fortunate enough to be taught by Sister Zheng."
"I see." Huo Qing nodded slightly, and added, "It's just a pity that Ms. Zheng can't sing now."
Tang Jia's heart skipped a beat for the third time, and she showed a sad look without thinking: "Yes...God really—"
She really didn't want to mention Zheng Yingying again, so she asked first: "Mr. Huo also likes listening to musicals?"
Huo Qing was much calmer than Huang Yu: "Yes. It's just that I'm busy with work and don't have much time to listen to the scene."
"Then what does Mr. Huo do?" Tang Jia wanted to complain.The one who was adopted also said that he was busy with work?What are you busy with?Are you busy going to bed?
"Doctor." Huo Qing said two words calmly.
doctor?Shao Jingxing was stunned for a moment for this person, but he immediately understood: "Yes. Xiao Huo came from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. He just rescued a patient who was in a deep coma yesterday. Hey, it's a coincidence to say that, you know that he treats Who is it? Old Mr. Wang Xu—do you know Wang Xu? I heard that he fell ill and passed out at the premiere of your "Snow Night"!"
Her voice was completely reborn, because of Zheng Yingying's car accident, she got the chance to sing as the female No. 2, and Mr. Wang fell ill during that performance. No matter how you think about it, it's her!
"There is no evidence." Huang Yu muttered, "Besides, even if that Tang Jia really awakened the power, we have no evidence to prove that she induced Elder Wang's illness." This is the most troublesome thing.There are so many strange ways in which supernatural beings use supernatural powers, and ordinary monitoring methods cannot obtain evidence at all.
However, Shao Jingxing was full of enthusiasm: "Let's find out if she is talking about it first. It's really not possible—" He wanted to say that it was really not possible and there would be fishing law enforcement, but he reckoned that he would be reprimanded if he said it, so he swallowed it back in time.
"How do you figure it out?" Huang Yu stared, "We can't even see anyone."
"I can see you!" Speaking of this, Shao Jingxing was confident, "I'll contact her."

Wearing ordinary clothes to spend here can be called eclectic.If he went to an ordinary restaurant wearing such clothes, then... Anyway, Shao Jingxing didn't dare to think that he never did such a thing when he grew up!
So in the end Shao Jingxing gritted his teeth and went in, and Tang Jia came in time.Looking at her exquisite makeup and clothes, Shao Jingxing was glad that he didn't say to change places.
"Young Master Jing, these two are—" Tang Jia could tell at a glance that the three people in front of her were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and the tall young man was so good-looking that she suspected that he was a model hired by Shao Jingxing; But the youngest one - no matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary high school student.
"My friends. Xiao Huo, Xiao Huang." Shao Jingxing broke the can at the moment, simply forgot to think about the amount on the bank card, and handed the menu to Tang Jia in a cool manner, "Order whatever you like."
Although the clothes seem worthless, but the tone is still the original "Young Master Jing".Tang Jia was in a daze. She had no intention of eating at first, so she ordered two dishes at random and handed back the menu.Shao Jingxing took it over and flipped it over, pointing his fingers painfully: "This, this, and this. Here's a bottle of wine—by the way, I remember you said that you can't drink too much while singing?"
"Yes—" Tang Jia smiled, "But if Young Master Jing wants to drink, then I'll accompany you."
"Forget it. You need to protect your throat now." Shao Jing Xingba had to order wine, which would save a lot of money, and quickly took the menu to the waiter with an upright face, "I don't drink anymore, let's have some juice That’s good, it’s still healthy.”
"Jing Shao is always so considerate of others..." Tang Jia was slightly relieved when he heard that he would not drink.She was really afraid that Shao Jingxing would make a mess after drinking, what should she do then?
After a while, all the dishes were served, Shao Jingxing poured a glass of fruit juice for Tang Jia, and quickly poured a glass for Huo Qing as well.
Huang Yu who was left out: "..." Let's pour it by ourselves.
Tang Jia looked at it coldly, feeling more and more relieved.It seems that this person surnamed Huo is indeed Shao Jingxing's person, so she will be safer.Feeling relieved, she became more casual when talking to Shao Jingxing: "When did Young Master Jing come to the capital?" Now that he had hired someone, why did he remember to meet her again?
"I ran errands with my second uncle a few days ago." Shao Jingxing said casually, pointing to Huang Yu, "Xiao Huang liked you very much after listening to "Snow Night". I didn't hear that I knew you, so I asked for it." Please come out and have a meal."
Tang Jia smiled skillfully at Huang Yu: "Thank you for your support." This Jing Shao is quite willing to make friends with people of all levels and teachings, and this person in front of him is probably a friend he met from nowhere.
Huang Yu didn't expect that this fan personality would fall on him.He did have experience as a fan, but he didn't know anything about musicals, let alone "Snow Night", so he put aside the music and pretended to take out a notebook and ask Tang Jia to sign it.
Shao Jingxing opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Xiao Huang just loves this one. He has also heard Zheng Yingying's concert before. He originally thought that "Snow Night" would be sung by Zheng Yingying, but he didn't know it until he bought the tickets. But he When I went to listen to it, I said you sang well, almost like Zheng Yingying."
Tang Jia's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zheng Yingying's name, but on the surface she could only smile and say, "That's senior, I still have a lot to learn."
"Miss Tang's voice is very similar to Zheng Yingying's." Huo Qing suddenly said next to her, "Could it be taught by a teacher?"
Tang Jia's heart thumped again, and she quickly laughed and said, "That's not true. But I liked Sister Zheng very much before, and I intended to imitate her—and I was fortunate enough to be taught by Sister Zheng."
"I see." Huo Qing nodded slightly, and added, "It's just a pity that Ms. Zheng can't sing now."
Tang Jia's heart skipped a beat for the third time, and she showed a sad look without thinking: "Yes...God really—"
She really didn't want to mention Zheng Yingying again, so she asked first: "Mr. Huo also likes listening to musicals?"
Huo Qing was much calmer than Huang Yu: "Yes. It's just that I'm busy with work and don't have much time to listen to the scene."
"Then what does Mr. Huo do?" Tang Jia wanted to complain.The one who was adopted also said that he was busy with work?What are you busy with?Are you busy going to bed?
"Doctor." Huo Qing said two words calmly.
doctor?Shao Jingxing was stunned for a moment for this person, but he immediately understood: "Yes. Xiao Huo came from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. He just rescued a patient who was in a deep coma yesterday. Hey, it's a coincidence to say that, you know that he treats Who is it? Old Mr. Wang Xu—do you know Wang Xu? I heard that he fell ill and passed out at the premiere of your "Snow Night"!"
