soldiers in front
Chapter 60 To Alice [25]
Ji Zheng parked the car on the side of the road and waited for about 10 minutes. He saw a jeep that Min Chengzhou often drove slowly climb up the mountain road, then stopped on the side of the road, and a plainclothes criminal policeman came down.
"Doctor Ji?"
The plainclothes asked him loudly from afar.
Because the distance between the two is far, and Ji Zheng is not used to shouting at people, so he only nodded.
Plainclothes said: "Let's go, follow my car."
Ji Zheng drove behind him, went down the mountain, bypassed two alleys, and finally parked the car at the gate of a three-story garden building.Ji Zheng followed him through the gate and asked, "What is this place?"
The plainclothes said: "The hostess of this house is Tang Xuehui. Chen Jiazhi said that Tang Xuehui went to her house to deliver a clothes dryer on the night of Zhai Wengang's accident. Team Min and I came to have a look."
Ji Zheng quickly extracted the key points from his few words; Min Chengzhou told him that Zhai Wengang told his friends that his shot|gun was lost, and Zhai Wengang found out that the shot|gun was lost on July 7th.Chen Jiazhi still does not admit that she shot and killed her husband, and also claims that she does not know why the missing shotgun appeared under her bed.Perhaps because of her persistence, Min Chengzhou took the source of the shotgun as a clue for investigation. After July 30, when the shotgun was lost, all those who entered Zhai Wengang's house were suspected.
Among them is Tang Xuehui who borrowed a garment steamer from Chen Jiazhi.
The small courtyard is neatly organized, and the flower beds on both sides are full of uniform roses. The roses are miraculously maintained at a normal height, and there is not a single weed in the middle, and even the corners of the lawn are neatly trimmed. , is the masterpiece of an extremely brilliant gardener.
Ji Zheng saw a few gardening tools such as hand saws and shovels by the flowerbed. Those tools were also arranged according to size, and there was not a trace of clean soil.He looked at the sharp tools shining in the sun, and once again felt the chill of being watched by the black-faced security guards at the school gate.
He saw at a glance that the gardener and the lawn were tended by a very dominant person, and most of these people had all the disadvantages of the perfect personality, as well as a side that was unknown.
When they got to the bottom of the door, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a white and very beautiful girl stood at the door, looked at him and smiled shyly, without speaking.
"Ai Lu, you haven't practiced the piano today, so you can't go out to play."
A gentle yet majestic female voice came from the living room, calling back the girl who wanted to go out.
The girl named Ai Lu seemed to be scolded, her face paled with panic, she turned to look at her mother and said cautiously: "But I made an agreement with Bing Jie—"
Tang Xuehui still smiled and said, "Hurry up and practice the piano upstairs, I want to hear it downstairs."
Ai Lu still wanted to fight for herself: "Mom, can I come back at night—"
Tang Xuehui said: "There are guests here today, mom doesn't want to lose her temper with you."
Ai Lu bit her lower lip aggrievedly, and went upstairs without saying a word.
Ji Zheng looked at Tang Xuehui, and saw that she was about thirty years old, wearing a well-tailored peacock blue cheongsam, her hair was neatly coiled behind her head and tied in a low bun, her temperament was noble and elegant, her eyebrows and eyes were radiant.
Min Chengzhou sat opposite Tang Xuehui, and said to Ji Zheng, "Wait for me first."
Maybe Min Chengzhou meant to ask him to go out and wait for a while, but Ji Zheng pretended not to hear, walked into the living room and sat beside Min Chengzhou, smiling and nodded to Tang Xuehui who had been watching him.
Min Chengzhou glanced at him, didn't say anything, and continued the conversation that was interrupted before: "Ms. Tang, you just said that you went to Zhai Wengang's house on August 8 to ask Chen Jiazhi to borrow a clothes dryer, right?"
Tang Xuehui smiled politely, and said, "Yes, because the garment steamer at home is broken, so I asked Jiazhi to pick up her garment steamer."
"Then when will you return the garment steamer?"
"Number four, that was yesterday."
Min Chengzhou looked at her and said, "It was also the day Zhai Wengang died."
Tang Xuehui lowered her head slightly, sighed, and said sadly: "It's really unfortunate."
Min Chengzhou ignored her eulogy and said, "I want to know the exact time when you hung up the steamer."
Tang Xuehui thought about it for a while: "Well...about eleven o'clock in the evening."
"Why did you return it so late?"
"I know Jiazhi usually sleeps very late, and I just remembered it again, so I sent it back."
After answering the policeman's question, Tang Xuehui slightly took the initiative to her side, and asked with a smile, "Officer, I want to know why you came to me today? What's wrong with me returning the ironing machine?"
Of course, Min Chengzhou couldn't tell her that they were investigating whether someone had hidden Zhai Wengang's lost shotgun in Chen Jiazhi's bedroom and used it to blame Chen Jiazhi.
But Chen Jiazhi also said in person that Tang Xuehui didn't bring anything else with her when she went to return the ironing machine.Therefore, although Tang Xuehui chose to return the ironing machine two hours after Zhai Wengang's death, it was somewhat suspicious, but there is currently no evidence to prove that she brought the shotgun back to Zhai Wengang's home.
Min Chengzhou didn't explain anything, just said: "I hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
There is an hourglass about a foot high on the coffee table, and the fine white sand flows down from the gap of the hourglass little by little, making a slight 'sand' sound.When Min Chengzhou was talking with Tang Xuehui, Ji Zheng kept paying attention to Tang Xuehui, and found that she would glance at the hourglass at the corner of the coffee table every five seconds or so, as if the hourglass made her a little uneasy.
Ji Zheng thought she didn't like the noise of the hourglass, but when she saw that she turned the hourglass upside down immediately after the white sand in the hourglass ran out, and the white sand began to flow from top to bottom again, she realized that she didn't allow the hourglass to stop working.Not only that, Ji Zheng also saw a box of half-used colored crayons on the baffle under the coffee table, and those crayons had twelve colors.Ji Zhengben felt that if Tang Xuehui organized the box of crayons, then Tang Xuehui would definitely arrange the crayons in the order of the rainbow colors that are currently popular in the city. After all, Tang Xuehui's obsessive-compulsive disorder has reached the point where there is no cure for medicine.
But Ji Zheng took a closer look and found that the crayons were not arranged according to 'red orange yellow green blue blue purple' but blue, orange, green, brown, gray, white, red, black, yellow, purple, pink , green, in this order.This arrangement does not seem to be in a chromatographic order, and it is completely different from the other neatly arranged ones in the room, where even the teacups are arranged in order from small to large.
Suspicion suddenly arose in Ji Zheng's heart, and he thought of another possibility. The owner of this box of crayons seemed to be Ai Lu who was going to school, so would Ai Lu take care of the crayons?In order to verify whether his guess was true, Ji Zheng knocked off the crayon box by taking the teacup from the coffee table, and all the crayons fell on the ground.
"Feel sorry."
Ji Zheng put down the cup and bent over to pick up the crayon and crayon box. Just as he picked up the last red crayon, he saw a thin white wrist with a jade bracelet stretched out in front of him. Tang Xuehui said, "It's okay, I'll clean it up."
Ji Zheng handed her the crayons and the box, and she filled the box with crayons one by one while talking to Min Chengzhou.
When he saw her pick up the first blue crayon and put it into the crayon box, Ji Zheng's heart sank slightly, and his face suddenly became serious.Then he calmly watched Tang Xuehui arrange the twelve crayons in exactly the same order as before.
The conversation with Tang Xuehui ended soon, Min Chengzhou led the team and left Tang Xuehui's house with Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng sat in the back seat of a police car at his signal, and Min Chengzhou closed the door and asked, "What's the matter you said just now?"
Ji Zheng said: "Zhai Xiaofeng may not be Zhai Wengang's biological son."
Min Chengzhou's eyes changed: "How do you know?"
Ji Zheng cautiously said: "You also know?"
Min Chengzhou hesitated for a moment, then said: "We checked Zhai Wengang's medical records and found that he would go to the Men|Sex Hospital for examination almost every year. Then we found the doctor at the hospital. The doctor said that he was born with abnormal sperm and had no fertility|fertility."
What Min Chengzhou found was different from what he learned. Ji Zheng quickly gave up the information he got from the security guard and chose to believe Min Chengzhou, because Zhai Wengang may have falsely claimed that his wife was infertile in order to protect his man's dignity. hidden disease.
Ji Zheng didn't care about this, and asked directly: "How did Zhai Xiaofeng get here? Have you checked it?"
Min Chengzhou said: "We asked Chen Jiazhi, and she said that she was adopted from a distant relative's house. It is currently being checked."
Ji Zheng thought for a moment, and said: "Chengzhou, what I learned is different from what you said."
Min Chengzhou didn't have time to think about his channel, so he hurriedly asked, "What's different?"
Ji Zhengdao: "The security guard at Bailu Middle School said that Zhai Xiaofeng was bought by Zhai Wengang from human traffickers, and Zhai Wengang was also involved in this kind of business. All the children bought in Bailu Town passed through his hands. He is probably a middleman connecting buyers and sellers."
Min Chengzhou was taken aback, and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Which security guard?"
"The old security guard we met at the school gate last time, he should still be at school, it's still too late for you to send someone to find him."
After the words were lost, Min Chengzhou pushed open the car door and shouted, "Go to two people and bring back the old security guard from Bailu Town Middle School!"
The plainclothes didn't ask anything, and set off immediately.
Min Chengzhou closed the car door with another call, his expression a little excited: "Ji Zheng, if this news is true, I will apply to the higher-ups to issue you a pennant. No, no, no, a bonus." Then he glanced at him again: "But You shouldn't care about anything."
Ji Zheng smiled faintly, took off his glasses and put them on again, and said: "If Zhai Wengang is really the middleman, I think he should be related to the child who disappeared four months ago."
Min Chengzhou patted his thigh: "You're right, that little girl named Qin Lisi might be the one who got her out."
Ji Zheng didn't think so, what he wanted to find was the missing mute boy.
Soon, Min Chengzhou received a call that the security guard had found him and was sending him to the town police station.
Ji Zheng got off the police car winkingly, and after breaking up with Min Chengzhou, he drove back along the road down the mountain.
In the car, he received a call from Yan Shen, who asked him where he was and reminded him to attend the reception on time at eight o'clock in the evening in the banquet hall on the top floor.
He only said that he was going down the mountain to relax and was on his way back to the hotel, and finally promised to be there on time.
Yan Shen didn't reply him again.
It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the hotel, and there were still three hours before the reception. Ji Zheng handed over a suit he was carrying to the hotel staff for ironing, and then rested in the room.
The soundproofing of the hotel room was very good, but the balcony window was wide open, and the sound of people coming and going downstairs still blew into his room along the sea breeze.He lifted a layer of white tulle curtains, stood on the balcony and looked down, and saw Yan Shen's male assistant and female secretary standing behind the back door of the hotel, welcoming the guests who came to the reception.
Among the group of people, Ji Zheng only recognized one well-known director in China, and most of the other glamorous men and women were fresh faces.He vaguely guessed Yan Shen's intention of holding a reception. Yan Shen controls a film and television company, and inviting people from the entertainment industry to the reception this time should be a 'investment attraction'.
He was looking at Yan Yan's smiling faces downstairs, when he heard the cell phone on the bed in the bedroom ring, he went back to the bedroom, picked up the cell phone, returned to the balcony, sat down on a wicker chair: "Hello? "
Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "Hi Doctor Ji, I didn't bother you."
Ji Zheng smiled lightly: "No, what's the matter?"
Xiao Jiang faltered for a while, then accompanied Xiaoxin and said, "Well, Ms. Qin came to see you in the morning."
Ji Zheng thought for a while: "Qin Jing?"
"Yes."
Ji Zheng was a little surprised: "What is she looking for me for?"
"She said she had something to look for you, and I said you were on vacation, but she didn't believe it."
Xiao Jiang hesitated to speak, Ji Zheng asked: "And then?"
"Then she asked me where you had been, and I thought it would be okay to tell her, so I just said you went to Bailu Town for vacation. After she left, I was a little worried that she would—"
Xiao Jiang felt that something happened to her, so she was embarrassed to continue talking, but Ji Zheng could understand that Xiao Jiang was worried that Qin Jing would come to him.
Ji Zheng pondered quietly for a moment, and said: "It's okay, don't worry about it, I'll call her now."
He hung up Xiao Jiang's phone, found Qin Jing's number and dialed it, but no one answered, and he called again, still no one answered.
He suddenly felt that he was too worried, Qin Jing may not be looking for him for personal matters, let alone crossing half of the city to look for him.Qin Jing is a very dignified and reserved woman, she would not do such a cheap thing.
As if giving himself a reassurance, Ji Zheng went back to the bedroom and closed the curtains, trying to catch up on sleep before the reception.
Two hours later, he was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. When he woke up, he looked out the window first, and found that the sky was already dark, the wind that had been blowing for a day finally calmed down, and the sound of the waves was faint and distant.
He found the glasses from the bedside table and put them on, and walked out of the bedroom to open the door.
He thought the person knocking on the door was the hotel staff who was helping him iron his clothes, but when he opened the door, he saw Yan Shen's female secretary who had met him once.
The secretary was carrying a dark blue suit in a transparent bag, with a blue and white striped tie hanging on his wrist, and said to Ji Zheng with a smile: "Doctor Ji, Mr. Yan asked me to send you clothes."
Standing at the door, Ji Zheng didn't intend to invite her in. The middle finger of his right hand pushed up against the frame in the middle of the lens, and said with a smile, "I will prepare the clothes myself."
The secretary begged, "This is the clothes Mr. Yan specially ordered me to prepare for you. You should change into Dr. Ji, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Mr. Yan."
Ji Zheng has never been a person who is good at embarrassing others. Even though he did not want to accept Yan Shen's arrangement, he was persuaded by the involuntary female secretary, so he took the brand new suit in the secretary's hand.
The secretary hurriedly handed him the tie: "There is still a tie."
Ji Zheng turned around and walked in with his suit in his hand: "I never wear a tie."
He put on his suit, briefly combed his hair with jelly water, and when he pushed open the bedroom door and walked out, the secretary's eyes trembled slightly, and he followed him out of the room after a daze.
The reception was held in the banquet hall on the top floor, as long as you took the elevator up, you would not get lost, but even so, Yan Shen still sent his secretary to pick him up.Ji Zheng couldn’t help thinking of another reason when he was straightening his shirt collar in the elevator. Maybe Yan Shen wasn’t worried that he couldn’t find a place, but just in case he changed his mind and didn’t attend the reception, so he didn’t send his secretary here to give him Leading the way, perhaps to 'supervise' him.
As if to confirm his conjecture, Ji Zheng saw the secretary standing obliquely in front of him bowing his head and pressing his cell phone. He accidentally scanned the screen of the secretary's cell phone and saw that she was typing "Dr. Ji is in the elevator, coming soon." arrive'.
A layer of imperceptible anger appeared in the depths of Ji Zheng's calm brows. This involuntary feeling of being manipulated to move forward step by step made him feel very uncomfortable.
The elevator quickly ascended to the top floor, and the secretary walked out first, leading him through a corridor to the entrance of the banquet hall.There were several bodyguards and hotel security guards standing on both sides, and there were already people coming and going inside, drinking and drinking.
Just as Ji Zheng was about to enter the arena with his secretary, he noticed that the phone in his trousers pocket suddenly started to vibrate. He stopped and took out his phone, and saw the name of 'Qin Jing' on the caller display.
"Doctor Ji?"
The secretary raised his hand to lead to the banquet hall, motioning for him to enter.
Ji Zheng said: "Wait a moment." Then he took a few steps away with his mobile phone, stood by the wall to avoid crowds and connected the call: "Hello?"
Qin Jing said: "Doctor Ji, I'm Qin Jing, where are you, I have something to ask you."
Only from her flustered tone, Ji Zheng quickly got a judgment that he didn't want to accept, that Qin Jing had a 'relapse'.
Instead of answering immediately, he asked, "Who are you with?"
"Driver, I'm with the driver."
Hearing that she was accompanied by someone, Ji Zheng told her his location: "The banquet hall on the top floor, I will wait for you at the entrance."
He hung up the phone, and the secretary urged him to enter the venue again. He said, "I have something to do, I will go in later."
The secretary couldn't say anything, so he could only enter the stage by himself.
Ji Zheng stood by the wall and waited for about 5 minutes, and saw Qin Jing and the driver turn out of the corridor he and the secretary passed just now.
Seeing Qin Jing again after a month, Ji Zheng can't recognize her; Qin Jing is very thin, and the smooth and tender skin that is always maintained is now like a crumpled white paper, and there is a wrinkle at the corner of the eye .She was wearing a brand-name dress and light makeup. It could be seen that she had been well-groomed, but she still couldn't hide her dry eyes and the fatigue on her face.
She trotted towards Ji Zheng on her high heels. When she ran in front of Ji Zheng, she suddenly lost her footing, and her right foot was about to fall to one side.
Ji Zheng held her arm in time: "Be careful."
She blushed in embarrassment, and whispered: "Thank you, thank you."
Ji Zheng let go, and took out a tissue from his trousers pocket and handed it to her: "What do you want me to do?"
Qin Jing took the paper towel and wiped her unpowdered neck. She was eager to say something to him just now, but when he asked her, her expression became dazed again. After a while, she looked up at him and asked: "Doctor Ji, why did you push me to others?"
Ji Zheng had already expected her intentions, but he didn't expect her to say it so directly. After deliberating for a moment, he said with a warm smile: "I didn't push you to others. Dr. Jiang is more experienced than me, and can help you better than me. You are more."
Qin Jing interrupted him eagerly: "But I don't want Dr. Jiang to give me psychological consultation, I hate him, I don't want to talk to him!"
Ji Zheng was silent, with a serious expression on his face: "Don't say that, Dr. Jiang is the most capable doctor among us."
Qin Jing suddenly took a step forward, and some moist mist suddenly gushed out of his dry eyes. He looked at Ji Zheng eagerly and said, "Doctor Ji, can you come back? Please, only you can cure me."
Ji Zhengben was a little shaken by his sympathy for her, but when he heard the words 'Can you come back' from her mouth, he suddenly realized that the situation was so serious that he had to refuse, even though it was ruthless.
He said, "Sorry, Dr. Jiang is better than me."
Qin Jing's eyes slowly diverged, and a dazed expression appeared on his face again. He stared blankly at Ji Zheng for a while, and suddenly asked, "Because I like you, do you hate me?"
Ji Zhengdao: "Ms. Qin, I am your psychological consultant and your doctor. There can only be a working relationship between us."
He spoke very tactfully, and did not leave any room for Qin Jing's rejection.
After hearing his words, Qin Jing's face was blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ji Zheng was about to call the driver standing beside him to take Qin Jing back, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl in a white tube top dress coming out of the opposite corridor from the corner of his eyes, it was Xiao Ting whom he had seen in the Deep Sea Club .
"I still have something to do, so I won't see you off."
He said this to Qin Jing, and then waved to Qin Jing's driver, signaling the driver to take care of Qin Jing, and then walked towards the opposite side.
Xiao Ting was walking alone in the corridor, looking down at her mobile phone. Ji Zheng walked straight towards her, always paying attention to whether there was another person around her.
Just when he was about to block Xiao Ting, the door of a wine serving room opened suddenly, and the waitress came out with a tray full of goblets, and met Ji Zheng who was hurrying.
Ji Zheng hurriedly took a step aside, but still bumped into the tray in the waitress' hands, several goblets fell over, and the mixed cocktails flowed on the floor.
At the moment when the accident happened, the girl named Xiaoting passed him by and walked into the banquet hall.
"Excuse me, sir, did you stain your clothes?"
asked the waitress.
Seeing that Xiao Ting had already left, Ji Zheng simply knelt down to help the waitress pick up the fragments of wine glasses on the ground: "It's okay, I'm the one who apologized."
While picking up pieces with the waitress, Ji Zheng saw a small Gesang flower tattooed on the inside of her wrist. This unique tattoo made him interested in knowing the girl's appearance, so he looked up at her face , saw a pretty face with a rather exotic style.
The girl met his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, you go to the bathroom and wash your hands. I will clean up the rest."
Ji Zheng apologized to her again, then washed his hands in the bathroom, and walked into the banquet hall after a long time.
There were a lot of people inside, Ji Zheng glanced over and didn't know anyone, so he chose a quiet place in the outfield to sit down.Before he could find Xiao Ting in the crowd, Yan Shen's secretary arrived first. The secretary bent down to show him the location of the center stage, and slightly turned up the volume amidst the laughter and chatter around him, saying, "Where is Mr. Yan?" .”
Ji Zheng nodded, and didn't mean to move over.
The secretary stood beside him and waited for a while, seeing that he remained unmoved, he quietly walked away.
About 10 minutes later, Yan Shen led several people to get away from the lively crowd and walked towards the quiet outfield. He quickly found Ji Zheng sitting alone on the sofa. What to say, lead the people to sit down on the vacant sofas next to Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng was passively placed in a place he didn't like, already a little impatient in his heart, he planned to leave after meeting Yan Shen, but now that Yan Shen saw him, he felt that it was time for him to leave here.
He took out his mobile phone to edit the message, and tenderly asked Yan Shen to resign. He had just finished writing the message and was about to send it out, when he saw a person standing in front of him and asked him, "Sir, would you like some champagne?"
He raised his head and saw the girl dressed as a waiter looking at him with a smile. It was the waitress he accidentally bumped into in the corridor just now.This girl is lively and cheerful, without the submissive temperament of ordinary waiters, and has a cute and familiar personality.
Ji Zheng took the goblet she handed over, held it in his hand without drinking, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The girl looked at his hand: "Is your hand okay? Just now I found a piece of broken glass stuck in the palm of my hand. I can't find it unless I look carefully."
Ji Zheng smiled and said, "I'm fine, thank you."
The girl shook her head carelessly, and said, "Call me if you need anything."
"it is good."
Ji Zheng watched her leave, and saw that she was stopped by a group of people sitting with Yan Shen before she took a few steps. The champagne in her tray was quickly divided up. A director suddenly stopped her and asked, "Little girl, are you from Xinjiang?"
The girl turned around and replied, "I am Han, but I have ethnic minority blood."
The director said: "Let me just say, she looks so beautiful, like Helena when she was young."
A group of people catered to the director and made jokes about the girl that were not malicious but definitely not kind.
Ji Zheng listened to the movement over there, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see the girl standing among them. When the director sent the girl an invitation to play the supporting actress in his next movie, the girl obviously couldn't stand it anymore, and the smile on her face changed. Embarrassed and stiff, he looked bewildered.
Ji Zheng put the goblet in his hand on the table, raised his voice slightly and said to the girl: "Waiter, pour me a glass of water."
The girl responded, and quickly got away from the group of men, cast a grateful look at Ji Zheng, and hurried away.
Ji Zheng watched her walk out of the banquet hall, and then sent the edited text message to Yan Shen.
Yan Shen quickly replied - what do you mean?
Ji Zheng said truthfully; I am a little tired and want to go back to rest.
Yan Shen ignored him.
Ji Zheng picked up his mobile phone, got up and left the banquet hall, and when he was about to take the elevator downstairs, he suddenly saw Xiaoting coming out of the bathroom in the empty corridor.He immediately changed his route and walked towards Xiaoting, this time he finally successfully stopped her at the door of the bathroom.
Ji Zheng said: "Hello."
Xiaoting saw him, her eyes lit up, and she smiled happily: "Ah, hello."
She still remembered the gentleman who helped her out of embarrassment at the Deep Sea Club, and had a very good impression of him.
Ji Zheng smiled and said: "Coincidentally, I didn't expect to see you here."
Xiao Ting said: "Yes." She looked at the banquet hall, her face was a little shy: "I came with Wei Shao."
Ji Zheng nodded, knowing that someone might come looking for her soon, so he cut to the chase and said, "You left something at the Deep Sea Club that day."
"what?"
Ji Zheng took out a VSE brooch from his pocket and handed it to her, staring at her face.
When Xiaoting saw the brooch, she was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took the brooch and held it tightly in her hands as if something shameful had been exposed, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, I thought I lost it."
Ji Zheng looked at her face and said, "I have to put it away this time, it will be very troublesome if I lose it."
Xiao Ting looked up at him in surprise, her eyes seemed to be asking him something.
Ji Zheng smiled calmly and said: "I know all these things." He paused and added: "Young Master Yan told me everything."
Suddenly, Xiaoting said to him, "Please don't tell others."
Ji Zheng pretended not to understand: "Why? This is not something to be ashamed of."
Xiaoting lowered her head, with a look of shame on her face: "Girl from Visali, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Hearing the word 'Visa' from her mouth, although she said it lightly, she dug two holes in Ji Zheng's heart.His eyes were slightly hot, he took a deep breath, and smiled innocently: "How can you say that?" He paused, and his tone became more serious: "The former famous actress Li Han, isn't she one of you?" ?"
Xiao Ting already regarded him as a member who knew the truth, and had some trust in him. After hearing what he said, her complexion became more complicated, and she hesitated for a moment before saying: "But Li Han didn't still—"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Zheng heard someone call behind him: "Xiao Ting."
He turned his head and saw Wei Qingyang and Yan Shen walking side by side. Yan Shen was holding a glass of wine with a gloomy expression on his face.
Wei Qingyang looked at Xiaoting, then at Ji Zheng, and finally at Yan Shen, and suddenly laughed, and said to Ji Zheng: "Doctor Ji likes Xiaoting? It's easy to say, as long as Young Master Yan agrees, I will take her For you."
Xiao Ting hurriedly said, "No, we're just chatting—"
Wei Qingyang shouted: "It's your turn to speak?!"
Xiao Ting turned pale and bowed her head in silence.
Wei Qingyang's face suddenly became irritable, and he stared at Xiaoting with a dark gaze: "Get out of here!"
After Xiaoting followed Wei Qingyang, only Yan Shen and Ji Zheng were left in the corridor.Yan Shen walked up to Ji Zheng with a goblet filled with red wine, looked at Ji Zheng blankly for a moment, then slowly took a sip of the red wine before asking: "Just now, what were you doing?"
After all the answers were confirmed in his heart, Ji Zheng's whole body seemed to be petrified and frozen from the inside to the outside.He looked at Yan Shen, his eyes were as cold as when he heard his English name from his grandma for the first time that day in the office.
He swallowed hard and said, "Chat."
Yan Shen sneered: "Then what were you doing flirting with a crazy woman before entering the arena?"
The crazy woman should be talking about Qin Jing. Ji Zheng didn't expect that his meeting with Qin Jing would also be watched by his eyes.But now he doesn't have any intention to deal with Yan Shen, so he just looks at him sternly, without saying a word.
Yan Shen was waiting for him to speak, and after waiting for a few seconds, he became impatient, and sneered again: "And in the banquet hall just now, great savior, what are you doing?"
Only then did Ji Zheng know that Yan Shen's anger towards him stemmed from the fact that he rescued an innocent girl.
Yan Shen's eyes gradually showed unusually clear disdain and contempt, and he said to him: "You really fucking treat yourself as someone."
At first, Yan Shen wasn't very angry, but only after being treated coldly by Ji Zheng. He looked at Ji Zheng's indifferent and emotionless face, and all his previous fantasies about this person disappeared, and now he just I want to anger Ji Zheng, trample on Ji Zheng's dignity, and let Ji Zheng join forces with those running dogs who bow to him.
Because he suddenly found that he didn't like Ji Zheng's aloofness and nobleness very much, he preferred a lackey who was obedient to him.
But just now he suddenly discovered that Ji Zheng would never be able to do what he wanted, or that Ji Zheng didn't bother to give it to him, so he was very angry.He looked at Ji Zheng mockingly with cold eyes, and said, "Bitch."
These words are very unpleasant and very hurtful, but Ji Zheng was not hurt by him.After being insulted by Yan Shen, Ji Zheng finally got to know Yan Shen, and he knew very well that the things that happened between them had gone away, so he felt a lot more relaxed, and the way he looked at Yan Shen returned to the way he was when he first met him Strange and indifferent.
After a brief stalemate, Ji Zheng suddenly laughed, still modest and elegant said: "Since Mr. Yan has finished speaking, I will take my leave."
Boss Yan's expression was gloomy, and he suddenly threw the goblet in his hand towards him.
The goblet hit Ji Zheng's chest and fell, and the red wine flew out along the mouth of the cup and poured on Ji Zheng's face and body.
Ji Zheng didn't dodge at all, but after being splashed with red wine, he took off his glasses that were stained by red wine, with blood-like red wine froth hanging from the corners of his eyes, then smiled faintly at Yan Shen, and said, "Goodbye."
After speaking, he turned and went upstairs with his glasses in hand.
"Doctor Ji?"
The plainclothes asked him loudly from afar.
Because the distance between the two is far, and Ji Zheng is not used to shouting at people, so he only nodded.
Plainclothes said: "Let's go, follow my car."
Ji Zheng drove behind him, went down the mountain, bypassed two alleys, and finally parked the car at the gate of a three-story garden building.Ji Zheng followed him through the gate and asked, "What is this place?"
The plainclothes said: "The hostess of this house is Tang Xuehui. Chen Jiazhi said that Tang Xuehui went to her house to deliver a clothes dryer on the night of Zhai Wengang's accident. Team Min and I came to have a look."
Ji Zheng quickly extracted the key points from his few words; Min Chengzhou told him that Zhai Wengang told his friends that his shot|gun was lost, and Zhai Wengang found out that the shot|gun was lost on July 7th.Chen Jiazhi still does not admit that she shot and killed her husband, and also claims that she does not know why the missing shotgun appeared under her bed.Perhaps because of her persistence, Min Chengzhou took the source of the shotgun as a clue for investigation. After July 30, when the shotgun was lost, all those who entered Zhai Wengang's house were suspected.
Among them is Tang Xuehui who borrowed a garment steamer from Chen Jiazhi.
The small courtyard is neatly organized, and the flower beds on both sides are full of uniform roses. The roses are miraculously maintained at a normal height, and there is not a single weed in the middle, and even the corners of the lawn are neatly trimmed. , is the masterpiece of an extremely brilliant gardener.
Ji Zheng saw a few gardening tools such as hand saws and shovels by the flowerbed. Those tools were also arranged according to size, and there was not a trace of clean soil.He looked at the sharp tools shining in the sun, and once again felt the chill of being watched by the black-faced security guards at the school gate.
He saw at a glance that the gardener and the lawn were tended by a very dominant person, and most of these people had all the disadvantages of the perfect personality, as well as a side that was unknown.
When they got to the bottom of the door, the door was pulled open from the inside, and a white and very beautiful girl stood at the door, looked at him and smiled shyly, without speaking.
"Ai Lu, you haven't practiced the piano today, so you can't go out to play."
A gentle yet majestic female voice came from the living room, calling back the girl who wanted to go out.
The girl named Ai Lu seemed to be scolded, her face paled with panic, she turned to look at her mother and said cautiously: "But I made an agreement with Bing Jie—"
Tang Xuehui still smiled and said, "Hurry up and practice the piano upstairs, I want to hear it downstairs."
Ai Lu still wanted to fight for herself: "Mom, can I come back at night—"
Tang Xuehui said: "There are guests here today, mom doesn't want to lose her temper with you."
Ai Lu bit her lower lip aggrievedly, and went upstairs without saying a word.
Ji Zheng looked at Tang Xuehui, and saw that she was about thirty years old, wearing a well-tailored peacock blue cheongsam, her hair was neatly coiled behind her head and tied in a low bun, her temperament was noble and elegant, her eyebrows and eyes were radiant.
Min Chengzhou sat opposite Tang Xuehui, and said to Ji Zheng, "Wait for me first."
Maybe Min Chengzhou meant to ask him to go out and wait for a while, but Ji Zheng pretended not to hear, walked into the living room and sat beside Min Chengzhou, smiling and nodded to Tang Xuehui who had been watching him.
Min Chengzhou glanced at him, didn't say anything, and continued the conversation that was interrupted before: "Ms. Tang, you just said that you went to Zhai Wengang's house on August 8 to ask Chen Jiazhi to borrow a clothes dryer, right?"
Tang Xuehui smiled politely, and said, "Yes, because the garment steamer at home is broken, so I asked Jiazhi to pick up her garment steamer."
"Then when will you return the garment steamer?"
"Number four, that was yesterday."
Min Chengzhou looked at her and said, "It was also the day Zhai Wengang died."
Tang Xuehui lowered her head slightly, sighed, and said sadly: "It's really unfortunate."
Min Chengzhou ignored her eulogy and said, "I want to know the exact time when you hung up the steamer."
Tang Xuehui thought about it for a while: "Well...about eleven o'clock in the evening."
"Why did you return it so late?"
"I know Jiazhi usually sleeps very late, and I just remembered it again, so I sent it back."
After answering the policeman's question, Tang Xuehui slightly took the initiative to her side, and asked with a smile, "Officer, I want to know why you came to me today? What's wrong with me returning the ironing machine?"
Of course, Min Chengzhou couldn't tell her that they were investigating whether someone had hidden Zhai Wengang's lost shotgun in Chen Jiazhi's bedroom and used it to blame Chen Jiazhi.
But Chen Jiazhi also said in person that Tang Xuehui didn't bring anything else with her when she went to return the ironing machine.Therefore, although Tang Xuehui chose to return the ironing machine two hours after Zhai Wengang's death, it was somewhat suspicious, but there is currently no evidence to prove that she brought the shotgun back to Zhai Wengang's home.
Min Chengzhou didn't explain anything, just said: "I hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
There is an hourglass about a foot high on the coffee table, and the fine white sand flows down from the gap of the hourglass little by little, making a slight 'sand' sound.When Min Chengzhou was talking with Tang Xuehui, Ji Zheng kept paying attention to Tang Xuehui, and found that she would glance at the hourglass at the corner of the coffee table every five seconds or so, as if the hourglass made her a little uneasy.
Ji Zheng thought she didn't like the noise of the hourglass, but when she saw that she turned the hourglass upside down immediately after the white sand in the hourglass ran out, and the white sand began to flow from top to bottom again, she realized that she didn't allow the hourglass to stop working.Not only that, Ji Zheng also saw a box of half-used colored crayons on the baffle under the coffee table, and those crayons had twelve colors.Ji Zhengben felt that if Tang Xuehui organized the box of crayons, then Tang Xuehui would definitely arrange the crayons in the order of the rainbow colors that are currently popular in the city. After all, Tang Xuehui's obsessive-compulsive disorder has reached the point where there is no cure for medicine.
But Ji Zheng took a closer look and found that the crayons were not arranged according to 'red orange yellow green blue blue purple' but blue, orange, green, brown, gray, white, red, black, yellow, purple, pink , green, in this order.This arrangement does not seem to be in a chromatographic order, and it is completely different from the other neatly arranged ones in the room, where even the teacups are arranged in order from small to large.
Suspicion suddenly arose in Ji Zheng's heart, and he thought of another possibility. The owner of this box of crayons seemed to be Ai Lu who was going to school, so would Ai Lu take care of the crayons?In order to verify whether his guess was true, Ji Zheng knocked off the crayon box by taking the teacup from the coffee table, and all the crayons fell on the ground.
"Feel sorry."
Ji Zheng put down the cup and bent over to pick up the crayon and crayon box. Just as he picked up the last red crayon, he saw a thin white wrist with a jade bracelet stretched out in front of him. Tang Xuehui said, "It's okay, I'll clean it up."
Ji Zheng handed her the crayons and the box, and she filled the box with crayons one by one while talking to Min Chengzhou.
When he saw her pick up the first blue crayon and put it into the crayon box, Ji Zheng's heart sank slightly, and his face suddenly became serious.Then he calmly watched Tang Xuehui arrange the twelve crayons in exactly the same order as before.
The conversation with Tang Xuehui ended soon, Min Chengzhou led the team and left Tang Xuehui's house with Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng sat in the back seat of a police car at his signal, and Min Chengzhou closed the door and asked, "What's the matter you said just now?"
Ji Zheng said: "Zhai Xiaofeng may not be Zhai Wengang's biological son."
Min Chengzhou's eyes changed: "How do you know?"
Ji Zheng cautiously said: "You also know?"
Min Chengzhou hesitated for a moment, then said: "We checked Zhai Wengang's medical records and found that he would go to the Men|Sex Hospital for examination almost every year. Then we found the doctor at the hospital. The doctor said that he was born with abnormal sperm and had no fertility|fertility."
What Min Chengzhou found was different from what he learned. Ji Zheng quickly gave up the information he got from the security guard and chose to believe Min Chengzhou, because Zhai Wengang may have falsely claimed that his wife was infertile in order to protect his man's dignity. hidden disease.
Ji Zheng didn't care about this, and asked directly: "How did Zhai Xiaofeng get here? Have you checked it?"
Min Chengzhou said: "We asked Chen Jiazhi, and she said that she was adopted from a distant relative's house. It is currently being checked."
Ji Zheng thought for a moment, and said: "Chengzhou, what I learned is different from what you said."
Min Chengzhou didn't have time to think about his channel, so he hurriedly asked, "What's different?"
Ji Zhengdao: "The security guard at Bailu Middle School said that Zhai Xiaofeng was bought by Zhai Wengang from human traffickers, and Zhai Wengang was also involved in this kind of business. All the children bought in Bailu Town passed through his hands. He is probably a middleman connecting buyers and sellers."
Min Chengzhou was taken aback, and he was stunned for a moment before he said, "Which security guard?"
"The old security guard we met at the school gate last time, he should still be at school, it's still too late for you to send someone to find him."
After the words were lost, Min Chengzhou pushed open the car door and shouted, "Go to two people and bring back the old security guard from Bailu Town Middle School!"
The plainclothes didn't ask anything, and set off immediately.
Min Chengzhou closed the car door with another call, his expression a little excited: "Ji Zheng, if this news is true, I will apply to the higher-ups to issue you a pennant. No, no, no, a bonus." Then he glanced at him again: "But You shouldn't care about anything."
Ji Zheng smiled faintly, took off his glasses and put them on again, and said: "If Zhai Wengang is really the middleman, I think he should be related to the child who disappeared four months ago."
Min Chengzhou patted his thigh: "You're right, that little girl named Qin Lisi might be the one who got her out."
Ji Zheng didn't think so, what he wanted to find was the missing mute boy.
Soon, Min Chengzhou received a call that the security guard had found him and was sending him to the town police station.
Ji Zheng got off the police car winkingly, and after breaking up with Min Chengzhou, he drove back along the road down the mountain.
In the car, he received a call from Yan Shen, who asked him where he was and reminded him to attend the reception on time at eight o'clock in the evening in the banquet hall on the top floor.
He only said that he was going down the mountain to relax and was on his way back to the hotel, and finally promised to be there on time.
Yan Shen didn't reply him again.
It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the hotel, and there were still three hours before the reception. Ji Zheng handed over a suit he was carrying to the hotel staff for ironing, and then rested in the room.
The soundproofing of the hotel room was very good, but the balcony window was wide open, and the sound of people coming and going downstairs still blew into his room along the sea breeze.He lifted a layer of white tulle curtains, stood on the balcony and looked down, and saw Yan Shen's male assistant and female secretary standing behind the back door of the hotel, welcoming the guests who came to the reception.
Among the group of people, Ji Zheng only recognized one well-known director in China, and most of the other glamorous men and women were fresh faces.He vaguely guessed Yan Shen's intention of holding a reception. Yan Shen controls a film and television company, and inviting people from the entertainment industry to the reception this time should be a 'investment attraction'.
He was looking at Yan Yan's smiling faces downstairs, when he heard the cell phone on the bed in the bedroom ring, he went back to the bedroom, picked up the cell phone, returned to the balcony, sat down on a wicker chair: "Hello? "
Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "Hi Doctor Ji, I didn't bother you."
Ji Zheng smiled lightly: "No, what's the matter?"
Xiao Jiang faltered for a while, then accompanied Xiaoxin and said, "Well, Ms. Qin came to see you in the morning."
Ji Zheng thought for a while: "Qin Jing?"
"Yes."
Ji Zheng was a little surprised: "What is she looking for me for?"
"She said she had something to look for you, and I said you were on vacation, but she didn't believe it."
Xiao Jiang hesitated to speak, Ji Zheng asked: "And then?"
"Then she asked me where you had been, and I thought it would be okay to tell her, so I just said you went to Bailu Town for vacation. After she left, I was a little worried that she would—"
Xiao Jiang felt that something happened to her, so she was embarrassed to continue talking, but Ji Zheng could understand that Xiao Jiang was worried that Qin Jing would come to him.
Ji Zheng pondered quietly for a moment, and said: "It's okay, don't worry about it, I'll call her now."
He hung up Xiao Jiang's phone, found Qin Jing's number and dialed it, but no one answered, and he called again, still no one answered.
He suddenly felt that he was too worried, Qin Jing may not be looking for him for personal matters, let alone crossing half of the city to look for him.Qin Jing is a very dignified and reserved woman, she would not do such a cheap thing.
As if giving himself a reassurance, Ji Zheng went back to the bedroom and closed the curtains, trying to catch up on sleep before the reception.
Two hours later, he was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. When he woke up, he looked out the window first, and found that the sky was already dark, the wind that had been blowing for a day finally calmed down, and the sound of the waves was faint and distant.
He found the glasses from the bedside table and put them on, and walked out of the bedroom to open the door.
He thought the person knocking on the door was the hotel staff who was helping him iron his clothes, but when he opened the door, he saw Yan Shen's female secretary who had met him once.
The secretary was carrying a dark blue suit in a transparent bag, with a blue and white striped tie hanging on his wrist, and said to Ji Zheng with a smile: "Doctor Ji, Mr. Yan asked me to send you clothes."
Standing at the door, Ji Zheng didn't intend to invite her in. The middle finger of his right hand pushed up against the frame in the middle of the lens, and said with a smile, "I will prepare the clothes myself."
The secretary begged, "This is the clothes Mr. Yan specially ordered me to prepare for you. You should change into Dr. Ji, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Mr. Yan."
Ji Zheng has never been a person who is good at embarrassing others. Even though he did not want to accept Yan Shen's arrangement, he was persuaded by the involuntary female secretary, so he took the brand new suit in the secretary's hand.
The secretary hurriedly handed him the tie: "There is still a tie."
Ji Zheng turned around and walked in with his suit in his hand: "I never wear a tie."
He put on his suit, briefly combed his hair with jelly water, and when he pushed open the bedroom door and walked out, the secretary's eyes trembled slightly, and he followed him out of the room after a daze.
The reception was held in the banquet hall on the top floor, as long as you took the elevator up, you would not get lost, but even so, Yan Shen still sent his secretary to pick him up.Ji Zheng couldn’t help thinking of another reason when he was straightening his shirt collar in the elevator. Maybe Yan Shen wasn’t worried that he couldn’t find a place, but just in case he changed his mind and didn’t attend the reception, so he didn’t send his secretary here to give him Leading the way, perhaps to 'supervise' him.
As if to confirm his conjecture, Ji Zheng saw the secretary standing obliquely in front of him bowing his head and pressing his cell phone. He accidentally scanned the screen of the secretary's cell phone and saw that she was typing "Dr. Ji is in the elevator, coming soon." arrive'.
A layer of imperceptible anger appeared in the depths of Ji Zheng's calm brows. This involuntary feeling of being manipulated to move forward step by step made him feel very uncomfortable.
The elevator quickly ascended to the top floor, and the secretary walked out first, leading him through a corridor to the entrance of the banquet hall.There were several bodyguards and hotel security guards standing on both sides, and there were already people coming and going inside, drinking and drinking.
Just as Ji Zheng was about to enter the arena with his secretary, he noticed that the phone in his trousers pocket suddenly started to vibrate. He stopped and took out his phone, and saw the name of 'Qin Jing' on the caller display.
"Doctor Ji?"
The secretary raised his hand to lead to the banquet hall, motioning for him to enter.
Ji Zheng said: "Wait a moment." Then he took a few steps away with his mobile phone, stood by the wall to avoid crowds and connected the call: "Hello?"
Qin Jing said: "Doctor Ji, I'm Qin Jing, where are you, I have something to ask you."
Only from her flustered tone, Ji Zheng quickly got a judgment that he didn't want to accept, that Qin Jing had a 'relapse'.
Instead of answering immediately, he asked, "Who are you with?"
"Driver, I'm with the driver."
Hearing that she was accompanied by someone, Ji Zheng told her his location: "The banquet hall on the top floor, I will wait for you at the entrance."
He hung up the phone, and the secretary urged him to enter the venue again. He said, "I have something to do, I will go in later."
The secretary couldn't say anything, so he could only enter the stage by himself.
Ji Zheng stood by the wall and waited for about 5 minutes, and saw Qin Jing and the driver turn out of the corridor he and the secretary passed just now.
Seeing Qin Jing again after a month, Ji Zheng can't recognize her; Qin Jing is very thin, and the smooth and tender skin that is always maintained is now like a crumpled white paper, and there is a wrinkle at the corner of the eye .She was wearing a brand-name dress and light makeup. It could be seen that she had been well-groomed, but she still couldn't hide her dry eyes and the fatigue on her face.
She trotted towards Ji Zheng on her high heels. When she ran in front of Ji Zheng, she suddenly lost her footing, and her right foot was about to fall to one side.
Ji Zheng held her arm in time: "Be careful."
She blushed in embarrassment, and whispered: "Thank you, thank you."
Ji Zheng let go, and took out a tissue from his trousers pocket and handed it to her: "What do you want me to do?"
Qin Jing took the paper towel and wiped her unpowdered neck. She was eager to say something to him just now, but when he asked her, her expression became dazed again. After a while, she looked up at him and asked: "Doctor Ji, why did you push me to others?"
Ji Zheng had already expected her intentions, but he didn't expect her to say it so directly. After deliberating for a moment, he said with a warm smile: "I didn't push you to others. Dr. Jiang is more experienced than me, and can help you better than me. You are more."
Qin Jing interrupted him eagerly: "But I don't want Dr. Jiang to give me psychological consultation, I hate him, I don't want to talk to him!"
Ji Zheng was silent, with a serious expression on his face: "Don't say that, Dr. Jiang is the most capable doctor among us."
Qin Jing suddenly took a step forward, and some moist mist suddenly gushed out of his dry eyes. He looked at Ji Zheng eagerly and said, "Doctor Ji, can you come back? Please, only you can cure me."
Ji Zhengben was a little shaken by his sympathy for her, but when he heard the words 'Can you come back' from her mouth, he suddenly realized that the situation was so serious that he had to refuse, even though it was ruthless.
He said, "Sorry, Dr. Jiang is better than me."
Qin Jing's eyes slowly diverged, and a dazed expression appeared on his face again. He stared blankly at Ji Zheng for a while, and suddenly asked, "Because I like you, do you hate me?"
Ji Zhengdao: "Ms. Qin, I am your psychological consultant and your doctor. There can only be a working relationship between us."
He spoke very tactfully, and did not leave any room for Qin Jing's rejection.
After hearing his words, Qin Jing's face was blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ji Zheng was about to call the driver standing beside him to take Qin Jing back, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl in a white tube top dress coming out of the opposite corridor from the corner of his eyes, it was Xiao Ting whom he had seen in the Deep Sea Club .
"I still have something to do, so I won't see you off."
He said this to Qin Jing, and then waved to Qin Jing's driver, signaling the driver to take care of Qin Jing, and then walked towards the opposite side.
Xiao Ting was walking alone in the corridor, looking down at her mobile phone. Ji Zheng walked straight towards her, always paying attention to whether there was another person around her.
Just when he was about to block Xiao Ting, the door of a wine serving room opened suddenly, and the waitress came out with a tray full of goblets, and met Ji Zheng who was hurrying.
Ji Zheng hurriedly took a step aside, but still bumped into the tray in the waitress' hands, several goblets fell over, and the mixed cocktails flowed on the floor.
At the moment when the accident happened, the girl named Xiaoting passed him by and walked into the banquet hall.
"Excuse me, sir, did you stain your clothes?"
asked the waitress.
Seeing that Xiao Ting had already left, Ji Zheng simply knelt down to help the waitress pick up the fragments of wine glasses on the ground: "It's okay, I'm the one who apologized."
While picking up pieces with the waitress, Ji Zheng saw a small Gesang flower tattooed on the inside of her wrist. This unique tattoo made him interested in knowing the girl's appearance, so he looked up at her face , saw a pretty face with a rather exotic style.
The girl met his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, you go to the bathroom and wash your hands. I will clean up the rest."
Ji Zheng apologized to her again, then washed his hands in the bathroom, and walked into the banquet hall after a long time.
There were a lot of people inside, Ji Zheng glanced over and didn't know anyone, so he chose a quiet place in the outfield to sit down.Before he could find Xiao Ting in the crowd, Yan Shen's secretary arrived first. The secretary bent down to show him the location of the center stage, and slightly turned up the volume amidst the laughter and chatter around him, saying, "Where is Mr. Yan?" .”
Ji Zheng nodded, and didn't mean to move over.
The secretary stood beside him and waited for a while, seeing that he remained unmoved, he quietly walked away.
About 10 minutes later, Yan Shen led several people to get away from the lively crowd and walked towards the quiet outfield. He quickly found Ji Zheng sitting alone on the sofa. What to say, lead the people to sit down on the vacant sofas next to Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng was passively placed in a place he didn't like, already a little impatient in his heart, he planned to leave after meeting Yan Shen, but now that Yan Shen saw him, he felt that it was time for him to leave here.
He took out his mobile phone to edit the message, and tenderly asked Yan Shen to resign. He had just finished writing the message and was about to send it out, when he saw a person standing in front of him and asked him, "Sir, would you like some champagne?"
He raised his head and saw the girl dressed as a waiter looking at him with a smile. It was the waitress he accidentally bumped into in the corridor just now.This girl is lively and cheerful, without the submissive temperament of ordinary waiters, and has a cute and familiar personality.
Ji Zheng took the goblet she handed over, held it in his hand without drinking, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The girl looked at his hand: "Is your hand okay? Just now I found a piece of broken glass stuck in the palm of my hand. I can't find it unless I look carefully."
Ji Zheng smiled and said, "I'm fine, thank you."
The girl shook her head carelessly, and said, "Call me if you need anything."
"it is good."
Ji Zheng watched her leave, and saw that she was stopped by a group of people sitting with Yan Shen before she took a few steps. The champagne in her tray was quickly divided up. A director suddenly stopped her and asked, "Little girl, are you from Xinjiang?"
The girl turned around and replied, "I am Han, but I have ethnic minority blood."
The director said: "Let me just say, she looks so beautiful, like Helena when she was young."
A group of people catered to the director and made jokes about the girl that were not malicious but definitely not kind.
Ji Zheng listened to the movement over there, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see the girl standing among them. When the director sent the girl an invitation to play the supporting actress in his next movie, the girl obviously couldn't stand it anymore, and the smile on her face changed. Embarrassed and stiff, he looked bewildered.
Ji Zheng put the goblet in his hand on the table, raised his voice slightly and said to the girl: "Waiter, pour me a glass of water."
The girl responded, and quickly got away from the group of men, cast a grateful look at Ji Zheng, and hurried away.
Ji Zheng watched her walk out of the banquet hall, and then sent the edited text message to Yan Shen.
Yan Shen quickly replied - what do you mean?
Ji Zheng said truthfully; I am a little tired and want to go back to rest.
Yan Shen ignored him.
Ji Zheng picked up his mobile phone, got up and left the banquet hall, and when he was about to take the elevator downstairs, he suddenly saw Xiaoting coming out of the bathroom in the empty corridor.He immediately changed his route and walked towards Xiaoting, this time he finally successfully stopped her at the door of the bathroom.
Ji Zheng said: "Hello."
Xiaoting saw him, her eyes lit up, and she smiled happily: "Ah, hello."
She still remembered the gentleman who helped her out of embarrassment at the Deep Sea Club, and had a very good impression of him.
Ji Zheng smiled and said: "Coincidentally, I didn't expect to see you here."
Xiao Ting said: "Yes." She looked at the banquet hall, her face was a little shy: "I came with Wei Shao."
Ji Zheng nodded, knowing that someone might come looking for her soon, so he cut to the chase and said, "You left something at the Deep Sea Club that day."
"what?"
Ji Zheng took out a VSE brooch from his pocket and handed it to her, staring at her face.
When Xiaoting saw the brooch, she was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took the brooch and held it tightly in her hands as if something shameful had been exposed, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, I thought I lost it."
Ji Zheng looked at her face and said, "I have to put it away this time, it will be very troublesome if I lose it."
Xiao Ting looked up at him in surprise, her eyes seemed to be asking him something.
Ji Zheng smiled calmly and said: "I know all these things." He paused and added: "Young Master Yan told me everything."
Suddenly, Xiaoting said to him, "Please don't tell others."
Ji Zheng pretended not to understand: "Why? This is not something to be ashamed of."
Xiaoting lowered her head, with a look of shame on her face: "Girl from Visali, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Hearing the word 'Visa' from her mouth, although she said it lightly, she dug two holes in Ji Zheng's heart.His eyes were slightly hot, he took a deep breath, and smiled innocently: "How can you say that?" He paused, and his tone became more serious: "The former famous actress Li Han, isn't she one of you?" ?"
Xiao Ting already regarded him as a member who knew the truth, and had some trust in him. After hearing what he said, her complexion became more complicated, and she hesitated for a moment before saying: "But Li Han didn't still—"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Zheng heard someone call behind him: "Xiao Ting."
He turned his head and saw Wei Qingyang and Yan Shen walking side by side. Yan Shen was holding a glass of wine with a gloomy expression on his face.
Wei Qingyang looked at Xiaoting, then at Ji Zheng, and finally at Yan Shen, and suddenly laughed, and said to Ji Zheng: "Doctor Ji likes Xiaoting? It's easy to say, as long as Young Master Yan agrees, I will take her For you."
Xiao Ting hurriedly said, "No, we're just chatting—"
Wei Qingyang shouted: "It's your turn to speak?!"
Xiao Ting turned pale and bowed her head in silence.
Wei Qingyang's face suddenly became irritable, and he stared at Xiaoting with a dark gaze: "Get out of here!"
After Xiaoting followed Wei Qingyang, only Yan Shen and Ji Zheng were left in the corridor.Yan Shen walked up to Ji Zheng with a goblet filled with red wine, looked at Ji Zheng blankly for a moment, then slowly took a sip of the red wine before asking: "Just now, what were you doing?"
After all the answers were confirmed in his heart, Ji Zheng's whole body seemed to be petrified and frozen from the inside to the outside.He looked at Yan Shen, his eyes were as cold as when he heard his English name from his grandma for the first time that day in the office.
He swallowed hard and said, "Chat."
Yan Shen sneered: "Then what were you doing flirting with a crazy woman before entering the arena?"
The crazy woman should be talking about Qin Jing. Ji Zheng didn't expect that his meeting with Qin Jing would also be watched by his eyes.But now he doesn't have any intention to deal with Yan Shen, so he just looks at him sternly, without saying a word.
Yan Shen was waiting for him to speak, and after waiting for a few seconds, he became impatient, and sneered again: "And in the banquet hall just now, great savior, what are you doing?"
Only then did Ji Zheng know that Yan Shen's anger towards him stemmed from the fact that he rescued an innocent girl.
Yan Shen's eyes gradually showed unusually clear disdain and contempt, and he said to him: "You really fucking treat yourself as someone."
At first, Yan Shen wasn't very angry, but only after being treated coldly by Ji Zheng. He looked at Ji Zheng's indifferent and emotionless face, and all his previous fantasies about this person disappeared, and now he just I want to anger Ji Zheng, trample on Ji Zheng's dignity, and let Ji Zheng join forces with those running dogs who bow to him.
Because he suddenly found that he didn't like Ji Zheng's aloofness and nobleness very much, he preferred a lackey who was obedient to him.
But just now he suddenly discovered that Ji Zheng would never be able to do what he wanted, or that Ji Zheng didn't bother to give it to him, so he was very angry.He looked at Ji Zheng mockingly with cold eyes, and said, "Bitch."
These words are very unpleasant and very hurtful, but Ji Zheng was not hurt by him.After being insulted by Yan Shen, Ji Zheng finally got to know Yan Shen, and he knew very well that the things that happened between them had gone away, so he felt a lot more relaxed, and the way he looked at Yan Shen returned to the way he was when he first met him Strange and indifferent.
After a brief stalemate, Ji Zheng suddenly laughed, still modest and elegant said: "Since Mr. Yan has finished speaking, I will take my leave."
Boss Yan's expression was gloomy, and he suddenly threw the goblet in his hand towards him.
The goblet hit Ji Zheng's chest and fell, and the red wine flew out along the mouth of the cup and poured on Ji Zheng's face and body.
Ji Zheng didn't dodge at all, but after being splashed with red wine, he took off his glasses that were stained by red wine, with blood-like red wine froth hanging from the corners of his eyes, then smiled faintly at Yan Shen, and said, "Goodbye."
After speaking, he turned and went upstairs with his glasses in hand.
