A few days later——
The people sent by Li Xiao brought back news one after another.
"Shura, we found out that someone has indeed been contacting Li Beichen recently, but the identity of the other party is not easy to pin down yet."
A man stood in the study and reported to Li Xiaohui.
Li Xiao frowned and said nothing.
Then I heard the man continue: "Also, we noticed that Li Beichen made a reservation at a restaurant tomorrow night, but this restaurant has never been to him before, and it is not on his usual activity track. , according to our speculation, he may have deliberately chosen that place to meet someone..."
"Tomorrow evening?"
Li Xiao raised his eyes, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, tomorrow night at seven o'clock."
The man nodded.
"Send me the specific location and you can go first."
Li Xiao said nothing more and waved to indicate that the other party could leave.
The study became quiet.
He thought for a long time and suddenly heard small footsteps coming from outside the door.
Li Xiao paused for a moment, glanced in the direction of the door, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
really--
The study door was pushed open from the outside.
Cai Xiaotang also slipped in through the door.
"Why are you here?"
Li Xiao asked with a smile.
Cai Xiaotang did not answer. She turned around and looked in the direction outside the door, curiously asking: "I haven't seen that person just now. Is he also one of yours?"
Li Xiao nodded: "Well, he doesn't live here, so he looks a little strange to you."
"oh……"
Cai Xiaotang was thoughtful after hearing this, and suddenly couldn't help but feel worried.
She has lived here for so long...it is rare to see anyone other than Lao Qi come to see Li Xiao.
Could it be that something happened again?
Cai Xiaotang frowned slightly, hesitant to ask.
"Candy?"
Li Xiao's voice interrupted Cai Xiaotang's thoughts.
She suddenly came back to her senses, and then said hurriedly: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you are free tomorrow. There is a new restaurant that I want to try, but the baby is pregnant now, and I can't always He dragged her around..."
Cai Xiaotang said, her eyes couldn't help but wander back and forth.
actually……
It’s not like the baby can’t go…
But it suddenly occurred to her that she had never formally invited Li Xiao to go out for a meal together.
Just treat it as... a simple date?
Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking about it, she heard Li Xiao feel a little confused: "Tomorrow night... I may not have time. What about the day after tomorrow? I will go with you the day after tomorrow."
"ah?"
Cai Xiaotang was startled for a moment, still immersed in the emotion she had just felt. After reacting for two seconds, she realized what he was talking about and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, any time is fine, then you go ahead and I'll do it first." gone back."
She said, turned and left the study.
It wasn't until she returned to the bedroom that she realized that she had been rejected! ! !
but……
Li Xiao said that he had something to do tonight...
What will happen?
Are you going to do those dangerous things again, and maybe come back with injuries?
Cai Xiaotang's two thin eyebrows knitted together instantly.
Thinking that there was nothing he could do to stop it, he could only sigh and casually picked up his mobile phone, intending to take a look at it to change his mood.
As soon as the screen lit up, she was stunned for a moment.
"Missed call?"
Cai Xiaotang muttered and clicked on the notification bar.
But I saw a series of very unfamiliar numbers.
She thought for two seconds and ignored it.
But the next second——
The phone rang suddenly!
The caller was still the same unfamiliar number.
…
The next evening——
Li Xiao did not arrange too many manpower, and only brought Lao Wu and Lao Qi.
The three of them packed up and planned to leave.
But unexpectedly bumped into Luo Wanwan at the stairs.
Seeing the serious expressions on the three people's faces, Luo Wanwan hurriedly asked: "You... are going out at this time?"
"Um."
Li Xiao nodded and said nothing more.
Everyone knew their identities, so there was no need to explain anything.
As expected, Luo Wanwan didn't ask any more questions and just whispered: "Be careful."
"Um."
Li Xiao responded casually and led the people away.
Luo Wanwan, however, leaned on crutches and stood still, until he saw the figures of several people disappearing, then turned around and walked towards his room.
The door closed and she simply locked it, her eyes suddenly showing a bit of coldness.
Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number expressionlessly.
soon--
The call was answered.
"it's me."
Luo Wanwan whispered two words in a cold tone.
Then she didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said. She paused for two seconds before continuing: "He has gone out. How are your arrangements there?"
"OK, hang up."
The entire call didn't last more than a minute.
Luo Wanwan threw the phone aside and snorted coldly.
the other side--
In an elegant western restaurant.
Li Xiao had already arrived early and was hiding in the dark.
Lao Wu and Lao Qi were arranged in other locations, observing the activities in the restaurant from different angles.
At seven o'clock sharp.
Li Beichen walked in from the restaurant door.
He still looked carefree, and then under the guidance of the waiter, he went to the seat in the corner.
"Shura, there is only Li Beichen, and the target has not appeared yet."
Lao Wu whispered in the earphones.
Li Xiao's position just formed a blind spot in the corner, so he couldn't see clearly.
"Well, keep staring."
Li Xiao responded, but his eyes unconsciously observed the surrounding environment.
Logically speaking, he didn't need to come in person for such a small matter today.
But I don’t know why, but I always feel uneasy when I think that the other party is using encrypted calls.
However, it is not in vain.
This restaurant looks good. I wonder if Cai Xiaotang will like it?
I can bring her here to try another day...
Li Xiao was thinking about it when suddenly——
"Shura! Appeared! A woman walked towards Li Beichen!"
"woman?"
Li Xiao was startled and quickly raised his eyes.
But due to the blind spot, only half of the woman's back could be seen, sitting opposite Li Beichen.
and……
The back figure looked extremely familiar.
And the clothes on his body too...
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a figure gradually emerged in his heart.
The next second——
"Xiu... Shura..."
Lao Qi's voice suddenly stuttered for some reason.
His position should be just enough to see the direction of the table clearly.
Li Xiao said nothing.
Lao Qi also lost his voice.
After a long while, he continued: "The person who came to see Li Beichen is...Mrs."
There was sudden silence in the headphones for a moment.
The figure just now was recognized in his heart, and Li Xiao immediately clenched his fists.
It’s really a little candy…
wrong……
There must be something wrong somewhere!
