After Shen Qingwu left the hotel, a black Range Rover slowly drove into the traffic on the roadside across the street from Bulgari.
"Are you okay?" Liang Ziqi glanced at Shen Qingwu in the rearview mirror. After looking away, he quickly looked in the mirror again, "No, sister, why are your lips swollen when you take pictures? ?”
Shen Qingwu was still out of breath because he had just walked in a hurry, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Hearing this, she opened the mirror on the baffle and took a look. The woman in the mirror has flushed cheeks and plump lips like March cherries, bright and warm.
It's definitely a little swollen.
The fingertips touched her lips, and the feeling that the man left on her lips, whether lightly or heavily, seemed to still be there.
Pain and numbness.
She closed the mirror with a swipe, gritted her teeth, and replied, "I'm allergic."
Liang Ziqi frowned and glanced at Shen Qingwu exaggeratedly, "What? Are you allergic to Bulgari's air?"
Shen Qingwu:......
*
The sun sets and the twilight is gentle.
In a quiet alley on Changnan Street in the west of the city, there is an inconspicuous courtyard house. Two big red lanterns were hung on the courtyard door, which was really eye-catching.
Liang Ziqi parked the car directly at the edge of the alley, and walked into the red paint gate with Shen Qingwu.
The small courtyard is simple and elegant with blue bricks, gray tiles and red walls. It is hard to imagine that this is a private restaurant based on its appearance. There isn’t even a sign here, and people in the industry generally call it No. 85.
It opens at seven o'clock every night and only receives one table of guests at each time, so privacy is excellent. Those who can make an appointment here are all the powerful people in Jingzhou City.
"Miss Shen, Miss Liang, your private room is on the second floor." The waiter greeted him familiarly.
Shen Qingwu nodded and thanked him, then walked through the courtyard with Liang Ziqi and climbed to the second floor along the old wooden stairs.
Pushing open the carved door of the private room, a tall and straight figure jumped into view.
The man had a very short haircut and was wearing a military green T-shirt, black overalls, and a pair of Martin boots of the same color. Hearing the noise, the man turned around, pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray on the shelf, crushed it out, and then showed a bright smile.
"Zhou Han, you're finally back." Liang Ziqi stepped forward and punched Zhou Han hard on the chest.
"Hey, after practicing for a few years, it's much stronger."
Zhou Han rolled his eyes and said, "You treat me as a young master? I'm weak?"
"Tsk, what are you talking about? Didn't you make my Xiaowu press him to the ground and rub him on the ground, and kneel down crying and begging for mercy?"
Zhou Han scratched his head, Yinglang's face turned red and white, "Liang Ziqi, who told you about this?"
Liang Ziqi raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Han with disgust with her almond-shaped eyes, "You idiot, you said it yourself the night before registration at the university."
Liang Ziqi didn't know about this originally.
She, Shen Qingwu and Zhou Han were high school classmates, and Shen Qingwu and Zhou Han were in the same class from elementary school to high school. It wasn't until Zhou Han was admitted to the National Defense Academy and the night they gave him a trial, when he drank too much and lay on the table crying with snot and tears that Liang Ziqi knew that the school bully Zhou Han had such a rough experience.
"Liang Ziqi, be careful, I will kill you." Zhou Han gritted his teeth.
Liang Ziqi laughed dryly and continued to poke his heart, "It won't work to kill me. Who in your elementary school doesn't know that you, a little bully, was beaten up by a female doll until you screamed?"
Shen Qingwu couldn't stop laughing, "Can you two calm down for a while? We have to fight each other to feel comfortable when we meet?"
The two of them stopped talking and sat down reluctantly.
Soon, all kinds of exquisite dishes were served one after another.
"Zhou Han, do you really plan to pursue a career in criminal investigation?" Shen Qingwu asked.
"Well, in the past few years, I have become very clear about what I really want."
"Your grandpa agreed?"
"He has been running the family with an iron fist all his life, but he has always been very open-minded about the ideals of us juniors."
"Protecting the homeland and punishing crimes are also to protect the peace of one party."
Zhou Han picked up a piece of tender white fish fillet and put it in Shen Qingwu's bowl, and gave another piece to Liang Ziqi.
"Xiao Wu, I will help you find evidence."
Shen Qingwu lowered his eyes and suppressed the rolling emotions in his eyes.
Fifteen years later, can the evidence still be found?
Even she didn't believe it herself.
"Thank you, Zhou Han." She said softly.
During the dinner, Zhou Han suddenly received an emergency gathering order.
After the meal in a hurry, they parted at the entrance of the alley.
"Xiao Wu, I have a temporary assignment. I may not be able to make it back to your wedding next month."
Liang Ziqi whispered: "Then you can participate next time."
"What?" Zhou Han frowned.
"Leave her alone." Shen Qingwu glanced at Liang Ziqi, who looked away angrily.
Shen Qingwu turned around, stepped forward and hugged Zhou Han gently, "Be careful."
Zhou Han patted her thin back and said, "Okay, if anything happens, you can find my fourth brother."
"Yeah." Shen Qingwu nodded.
After Zhou Han's Wrangler walked away, Liang Ziqi took Shen Qingwu's arm and walked slowly towards the Land Rover.
"Xiaowu, are you staying at my place tonight?"
"No, Lu Sui may be waiting for me downstairs at your house."
"I have a house in the Third Ring Road."
"You still have a house? Why didn't I know?" Liang Ziqi looked surprised.
"I bought it secretly last month. The house is not in my name." Shen Qingwu raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows vivid, and even the small red mole at the corner of his eye trembled.
Liang Ziqi: "6, Lu Sui can't be found now."
after an hour……
Liang Ziqi's Land Rover was parked outside the gate of Manyun Community on the East Third Ring Road.
She stared at Cullinan, who was blocking the front of the car, and said harshly: "Lu Suisui is so powerful, he's even stuck here."
"Sister, how about I hit this Cullinan?"
Shen Qingwu pressed the unlock button on the car door and said calmly: "Xiao Qi, please leave first."
"but……"
"It's okay." She turned back and smiled at Liang Ziqi, "He just wanted to control me under his nose and not abuse me."
Shen Qingwu got out of the car and waved to Liang Ziqi through the window.
The Land Rover quickly disappeared around the corner.
Shen Qingwu didn't move, just stood there quietly, the dim street lights making her shadow long and thin.
The back seat of Cullinan was dark. Suddenly, the car door opened, and a long leg wrapped in trousers stepped out of the car.
Lu Suizhi's face was expressionless. The tie was long gone in his gray suit, and two buttons of his black shirt were undone.
He walked up to her and said in a deep voice: "Get in the car."
Shen Qingwu didn't move.
"How did you find this place?" This feeling of being controlled made her a little unhappy.
"Last month, you had a large private transaction." Lu Sui stared at the woman's beautiful face and said coldly, "At the same time, an employee of your gallery purchased this house."
"So, you've been planning to use this house to hide from me?"
Lu Suizhi's expression was gloomy, as if he could explode at any time in the next second.
