LiShuang shook her head: "I just heard someone mention it, and I was just too curious."
[This matter... let's think about it carefully. Your life is more important. ]
BaJie heaved a sigh of relief: [That's right, don't be too impulsive! ]
ShenJi had no idea what she was planning. Sitting in the study, facing Mr. Gu's accusations, he raised his hand to the bodyguard standing next to him.
"Go and call BaiZe in."
Mr. Gu's words were interrupted and his breath was choked in his chest.
"ShenJi! Are you listening to me?"
ShenJi glanced at him lazily: "I'm already giving you face by letting you sit here and talk. If you yell again, I'll make you walk out sideways and come to talk to me in your dreams."
Mr. Gu was frustrated: "..."
BaiZe came in quickly.
ShenJi whispered a few words, BaiZe nodded and left again.
Mr. Gu slammed the copper lighter in his palm hard on the table.
"You don't want peace in Jiangcheng, do you?"
ShenJi lowered his eyes and glanced at his lighter.
He chuckled and immediately understood what was going on.
It turned out to be ShenYuci's clumsy frame-up.
But it's really hard to blame.
After all, he had spent yesterday in the hospital as expected. Even if he explained, old man Gu, who already had a grudge against him because his grandson had just died, would only think that he was throwing mud at him.
Too lazy to waste that breath.
ShenJi took the lighter and played with it.
He lit a cigarette and snapped the copper lid shut.
"The lighter is mine, but the person is really not worthy of my personal visit."
Implications.
He didn't even bother to go to Gu's house, so why did the lighter appear there?
Mr. Gu had also thought of this.
But it was true that his grandson had died, and he had to find someone to give an explanation.
Regardless of whether it was ShenJi or not, the finger of blame was pointed at him as the biggest suspect. If he didn't find him, there would be nothing he could do.
Mr. Gu: "Who knows if this is an excuse you had thought of a long time ago and did on purpose."
Under the smoke, ShenJi glanced at him with disdain.
"I'm not you, I can't think of such a stupid idea."
Mr. Gu spoke in a firm tone.
"Your personal belongings appeared at the scene. It's not you, but it's also related to you."
ShenJi raised his eyebrows: "So? You brought people here to kill me?"
"You..." When it came to the key question, Mr. Gu was unable to answer it immediately.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Although he was filled with grief and anger when he came, he also rationally considered the consequences.
Mr. Gu: "You said it wasn't you, then give me the real murderer."
"You want me to do odd jobs for you?" ShenJi was happy.
"Then you should ask the people downstairs to do it and see who is more powerful between the two of us."
"Heh." Old Master Gu sneered, suppressing his anger.
"If it's really as you said, if you don't check, the other party will find you sooner or later."
ShenJi was smoking a cigarette, still looking lazy and unfocused.
"Go find him. The dead man is not mine. I'm not in a hurry."
Mr. Gu slammed the table in anger.
"ShenJi! If you cooperate with me now, you will be able to stand more firmly!"
ShenJi opened the drawer and put it down carefully.
"Try taking another shot."
The pitch-black pistol lay beside him, the black muzzle silently pointing at Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu frowned and repeated the question in a slow voice.
"Are you really going to reject me and not cooperate with me?"
ShenJi was notoriously arrogant, especially when it came to people he had a grudge against. It would be harder to get him to cooperate than to kill him.
He tilted his head jokingly: "You still have time to leave now. I've been very angry recently. After I finish smoking this cigarette, I might want to find some other way to relieve my anger."
Mr. Gu's grip on the cane kept tightening.
Finally he stood up and said, "ShenJi, if you insist on doing this, you will regret it sooner or later."
ShenJi leaned back in the sofa and blew out a smoke ring: "If you walk too slowly, you will regret it before I do."
"Hmph!" Old Master Gu snorted coldly and turned away.
-
At night, LiShuang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I was thinking about LiWanwan and that man-eating devil-like honey.
I really called someone in the early morning.
The call was connected quickly, and a magnetic voice with a rising ending tone was heard.
"It's half past one in the morning. I didn't sleep."
LiShuang didn't know why, but when she heard his teasing laughter, her eardrums felt itchy and her heart felt inexplicably calmer.
She whispered into the microphone: "Do you know about honey drop?"
ShenJi believed that he had never had that kind of need before he indulged himself with her, and that place was in the South District, so he responded casually.
"I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
LiShuang: "Do you know who the owner of the manor is?"
ShenJi thought about the little plan she had in her mind before.
"I don't know. Why? Have you made up your mind?"
LiShuang said seriously: "I want to go in and take a look."
ShenJi smiled with an ambiguous meaning.
"Do you know what's in there? How many hats do you want to put on me? Huh?"
LiShuang rolled her eyes and said, "I won't say any more. I'm hanging up now."
ShenJi smiled and called her: "Are you gassing? It explodes at the slightest touch?"
"Tell me in person in fifteen minutes."
LiShuang glanced in the direction of the curtains.
[It must be around 1am now, right? His residence must be at least 40 minutes away from here, right?]
Silence teased as if explaining.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep. I was driving on the road, hoping to hit a random person to death."
LiShuang just listened and passed by.
The frivolous ending of ShenJi's voice seemed to have a hook: "Can you come out and let me bump into you?"
"You woodpecker, just go and hit the tree!"
LiShuang hung up the phone angrily.
"Woodpecker?" ShenJi glanced at the hang-up interface.
He stepped on the accelerator with a sly smile on his lips: "That pecks deep and fast."
In less than fifteen minutes, LiShuang's phone screen lit up.
Unknown Number: [Down]
LiShuang knew it was him, but when she saw these two words, her heart still stopped for a moment.
He really came.
Half a minute later the phone vibrated again.
Unknown number: [If you don't come down, I will honk the horn, but I'm afraid I'll wake up too many people and you'll be embarrassed.]
LiShuang: [I really admire this Lao Liu]
In this quiet night, once he pressed the horn, everyone in the Li family would probably wake up. He really didn't want to be caught by LiWanwan in any way.
ShenJi's phone vibrated.
The note is an emoticon of a snowflake.
[Here it comes.]
ShenJi got out of the car, walked as close to her direction as possible, and sent a reply message.
Unknown Number: [See you downstairs on your balcony]
LiShuang went down the stairs feeling very nervous and frowned when she saw the message.
But I still took the path around it.
There was only an open space behind the balcony with a few tall trees planted on it. There was little light at the back at night, so LiShuang moved forward in small steps in the dark.
"What about cheating?"
A voice filled with laughter sounded from behind, and the next second, a warm breath with a bass fell on my ear.
"Sneaky."
LiShuang fell into his arms unexpectedly and angrily punched him back with an elbow.
"Hiss——" ShenJi took a light breath, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.
"Stop pretending in front of me!" LiShuang tried to break free from his arms in annoyance.
ShenJi crossed her arms and held them in her arms.
"Baby, I'm injured."
LiShuang's eyes, hidden in the darkness, flashed with light.
The height difference between him and her, the height just now, seemed to be exactly where the gauze was during the day.
But she was still unhappy: "You asked for it."
ShenJi's slightly heavier breath sprayed on her neck: "Okay, one time each, you let me come too, it's fair."
LiShuang: "Dream on!"
"You've almost killed me, you bitch." ShenJi sighed and pressed his chin hard against her neck.
I get impulsive when I see her, but I can't eat her just by looking at her, and my desire is about to explode.
When LiShuang heard his ambiguous words, her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"You'll die in vain, dog, let go."
