It was already half past five when we returned to Linxian City.
Lan Xi decided to go to Shangri-La Hotel for dinner. But my father has not arrived yet. He is still on his way back. According to the screenshot of the video sent by Jiang Xiaohua, when they entered the city, their father's car was still halfway on the road.
However, Meng Yuxi had already arrived, but he disappeared after entering the city. I sent her messages but no one answered her calls. Liu Yusheng also refused to answer calls or text messages. This made Lan Xi angry. But after weighing it, he held back.
I originally wanted to invite Meng Yuxi and Liu Yusheng over for dinner, but who knew they thought she was just air.
"Oh, Dad, can you hurry up."
Lan Xi had no choice but to call her father.
Lan Tianxing: "Oh, I won't go to the hotel for dinner. I still have things to do. I'll go home with Xiaohua first."
"Ah, Dad, aren't you going to the rose garden tonight?"
"Haha, I'm not going. See you tomorrow."
"Hey, hey, daddy, daddy..."
Lan Xi shouted at the phone screen, but his father had already hung up the phone. When I called, it was already shut down.
I don't understand, what's wrong with my dad, he insists on being with my cousin. Which tendon is wrong? I'm still out of my mind. "
Lan Xi turned off her phone and was in a bad mood.
Liang Huan said: "Lan Xi, please don't do this. I know what you are worried about, but you also have to think about your father. The chairman is still young, only in his fifties. There is no woman around to take care of him."
Lan Xi retorted: "I know what you want to say. In fact, I don't object to my father finding a stepmother for me, but Jiang Xiaohua is my cousin. Even if she is beaten to death, I will not agree. Besides, Jiang Xiaohua is younger than me. "
Liang Huan advised her: "This is not something you should consider. You understand it or not."
Lan Xi asked Liang Huan: "You want me to watch my father and my cousin continue. Just in case..."
Liang Huan: "I can't say, but I believe the chairman has his own sense of discretion. Besides, your cousin is not that kind of person. Her heart is like a mirror, and she can see clearly."
Lan Xi: "Forget it, let's not go to the hotel. Let's go back to the rose garden and cook for ourselves. But you have to promise me. You have to be the one who takes the responsibility. If you don't agree, don't go. I'll drive you back to the rental house."
Liang Huan: "It's necessary. I still have some unique cooking skills that I haven't used yet."
"Then it's settled, let's go back to the rose garden."
Lan Xi made a decision.
It was already five o'clock when we returned to the rose garden. Liang Huan asked Lan Xi to rest and then went to the kitchen to wash rice for cooking. There is also beef and fish in the refrigerator. It is enough to eat these two dishes and a side dish in the evening. Having been here so many times, he knows every corner. Not to mention what food is in the refrigerator.
Lan Xi was lying on the sofa in the living room to rest. She was a little tired and decided to take a good hour's sleep before dinner.
After washing the rice and plugging it in, Liang Huan went to take out the beef and fish from the refrigerator and defrost them.
Then go to the kitchen to pick vegetables. In short, he decided that he would have to cook the meal tonight from the beginning. No need for Lan Xi to worry. Stabilizing Lan Xi is his ultimate goal.
After finishing the dishes, I looked at my watch. It was ten past six o'clock. He immediately called Lan Xi to get up and eat.
Lan Xi is still sleeping. A smile bloomed on his face. Liang Huan squatted beside the sofa and watched. He couldn't help but lower his head and smell Lan Xi's face. Lan Xi hummed and suddenly wrapped her hands around his neck, but she didn't mess up the direction even with her eyes closed.
"Oh, stop making trouble and get up to eat, otherwise the food will get cold."
As he spoke, he held Lan Xi in his arms and once again couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.
Only then did Lan Xi wake up, let go of his arms, and went to the kitchen to wash up.
This is a good habit she has developed over the years. She must wash her hands with soap before and after eating. Wash your face with warm water.
Liang Huan opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of Wuliangye. He wanted to drink half a cup with Lan Xi. Then drag Lan Xi to do it once in the mist, wouldn't it be so refreshing?
Lan Xi washed her hands and came out to order a small glass of white wine. Liang Huan had more than half a cup.
But at this time, there was the sound of parking on the road outside.
Liang Huan quickly put down the cup and ran over to open the curtains and look down. It was Fan Xiaoye who was here.
How did she know Lan Xi was back? Seeing Fan Xiaoye coming out of the car alone, Liang Huan started to mutter.
Fan Xiaoye raised his head and saw Liang Huan, and said, "Doctor Liang, where is Mr. Lan. I know she is back. Please tell her, I have something to see her."
Lan Xi was stunned for a moment when she heard Fan Xiaoye's voice. In her impression, it seemed that this was the first time that Fan Xiaoye came to the rose garden alone to find her. Why is it so important that he has to come to her at this time?
"Oh. Officer Fan, it's you, who did I think you were. Wait a minute, I'll come down and open the door for you."
Lying on the window sill and taking a look at Fan Xiaoye on the side of the road, Liang Huan quickly went back and put down the cup in his hand, and hurriedly went downstairs to open the door. Fan Xiaoye walked in from outside like a gust of wind and looked around. He went upstairs directly with Lan Xi.
Lan Xi quickly went to the disinfection cabinet to get the dishes, chopsticks and cups.
Fan Xiaoye said: "I've already eaten, don't worry about me. I'll go and play with my phone."
After saying that, he sat on the sofa in the living room, took out his phone and opened it to play games.
Lan Xi said: "No, since we have met, you have to have a drink with me. Doctor Liang, pour some wine for Officer Fan." After saying that, he handed the empty glass in his hand to Liang Huan.
Fan Xiaoye said politely: "No need really, I've already eaten."
Liang Huan didn't listen to her and poured her half a cup of Wuliangye.
Lan Xi filled the empty bowl with half a bowl of rice, placed it gently next to the glass of wine, and said, "The wine has been poured and the rice has been served. It depends on whether the beautiful police officer will give me this face. Dr. Liang, do you think so?"
Liang Huan agreed smoothly: "Yes, Mr. Lan is so polite. I believe Officer Fan will not refuse."
Fan Xiaoye had no choice but to bite the bullet. I had eaten at the place before I came here, so I'll have a drink with you two and skip the meal. If you still eat, your belly will burst.
Seeing Fan Xiaoye pick up the wine glass, Lan Xi felt relieved.
"Hey, beautiful police officer, what do you want from me?"
Fan Xiaoye actually came to see Liang Huan, not Lan Xi, but she knew that Lan Xi and Liang Huan were together, so she couldn't say that because she was afraid of causing Lan Xi's misunderstanding. By then, the relationship between the police and the public may become strained, which is an outcome she does not want. So I came up with such a bad idea, hoping that Lan Xi wouldn't see it.
When Liang Huan saw Fan Xiaoye was silent, he understood everything.
"Let's do this, Officer Fan, I'm not an outsider, just say it in front of both of us."
Fan Xiaoye was waiting for this opportunity. In fact, he understood what Liang Huan meant. He had already seen it.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Wang Youliang was let go. He was originally supposed to be detained for twenty hours, but just before dinner, around 4:30 in the afternoon, our leader suddenly called up. made a phone call, and then called Team Chen and me over to explain the above. Team Chen had no choice but to let Wang Youliang go. Oh, there is one more thing that I will tell you a little bit about. It was the one where Gao Fan was killed. case."
He paused deliberately at this point, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine.
"I said Officer Fan, can you stop playing riddles? Tell me quickly, have you caught the real culprit who killed Gao Fan?"
Liang Huan was also looking at Fan Xiaoye with strange eyes.
Fan Xiaoye said: "To be precise, we did not catch the real culprit, but the real culprit took the initiative to surrender."
Liang Huan asked: "What is his name, place of origin, gender, background, etc., have you investigated him?"
Fan Xiaoye said: "Still checking, it's not that fast."
Lan Xi asked: "You must have a name, right?"
Fan Xiaoye: "Sorry, this is already confidential, I can't say it."
'Then, have the suspects in the incident when Xu Yunsong was kidnapped been found? "
Liang Huan took a sip of wine and continued to ask. Fan Xiaoye raised his head and said he was still looking, but couldn't find it.
Liang Huan knew she was in trouble, so he didn't ask.
....
After coming out of Lan Xi's small villa in the Rose Garden, Fan Xiaoye drove directly to the Chengxi Paradise Hotel.
According to surveillance, after learning that Wang Youliang was not released, he immediately went to this hotel. If nothing went wrong, he should have gone to find Su Ruolan. After all, he already regarded Su Ruolan as his wife, which was no longer a secret in Linxian City.
At least people in the nearby streets knew about the relationship between Wang Youliang and Su Ruolan.
Arriving at the entrance of the Paradise Hotel, Fan Xiaoye looked up and looked at the window of Wang Youliang's room on the second floor. He saw that the curtains were tightly closed. There should be no one in the room. Could it be that Wang Youliang came back and left again.
With doubts in his mind, Fan Xiaoye decided to go in and check out the situation.
Although Wang Youliang did not kidnap Xu Yunsong, he had a certain motive. After all, Xu Yunsong is Qiu Ruoshui's cousin. It's not impossible to use him to threaten Qiu Ruoshui. Of course, she also understood what the leader meant. In fact, the leader also had doubts about Wang Youliang, but because there was no evidence, she could only let Wang Youliang go with the help of the upper hand.
This is called playing hard to get. This is how Meng Huo was surrendered by Zhuge Liang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Su Ruolan was checking the registration book at the front desk.
She didn't expect Fan Xiaoye from Chengguan Police Station to come to Wang Youliang at this time.
When Fan Xiaoye walked in from the door, she was startled.
"Oops, Officer Fan, what brought you here? Please take me to the private room upstairs."
Su Ruolan stared at Fan Xiaoye, who was dressed in casual clothes, with a smile on her face, while reaching to hold her hand.
Fan Xiaoye didn't mind, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said, "Your man was released and he didn't come back?"
Su Ruolan: "I'm back, but I went out again. Besides, I'm not married to him yet. He's not my man yet, and has nothing to do with me. How about Officer Fan go find him elsewhere. Or go upstairs for a drink." Let’s have tea before leaving.”
Although he was so polite, he had actually given Fan Xiaoye an eviction order.
Fan Xiaoye was not stupid. He had already understood what Su Ruolan meant and smiled without saying anything.
Su Ruolan said: "Why don't you accompany Officer Fan to the private room upstairs for a chat."
Fan Xiaoye: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Madam boss, please come upstairs."
The unusual change of attitude caused Su Ruolan's mind to be confused.
What do you mean by Fan Xiaoye? He regards this as his own home.
